MERELY A NEWSPAPER REPORT"

The following from the New York Word of a few
weeks stirring reminder of the extent to which
the entire public depends upon the newspaper for its
thought action and actual knowledge:
"In reply to inquiry asking his opinion of the
proposed Anglo American agreement to assist France
in case of unprovoked attack by Germany Senator
Lodge said he must decline to express an opinion on
the question you suggest, which is merely newspa-
per report
$50 far that goes, Sen. Lodge does not know
that there has been except from mere news
paper report. He the war. He never saw
the German Army mobzed he never saw the invasion
of Belgium; he saw the retreat from the Marine
he never saw the Hindenburg line he never saw the
spring offensive of 1918 and the turning back of the
Germans at Chateau-T hierry in the summer
'AlI the proof he has that Peace Conference is
in session is merely newspaper report We doubt
il he could produce scrap of legal evidence to prove
that the President of the United States is in Paris and
not in Hoboken, N. ]. And the Senator has merely
a newspaper report to show that the German dele
gates at Versailles, that the peace treaty has been
presented to them, that Cemenceau made speech and
Brockdorff- Rantzau replied. And he had merely a
newspaper report that the President called special
session of Congress- but he promptly ordered the Re-
publican Senators to attend caucus In short, most
OF the things engaging Senator Lodges attention these
days are merely newspaper report"

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft Nbrush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two,t your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

MILLIONS TO JUNK.

MORE HUN P2 oPAGANDA.

Washington.-One of the methods by which the Germans had ingratiated themselves and gained a powerful in fluence with the people. as well as with some of the governments of Latin-A merica, has been revealed ill a report brought here by a former official in one of these countries
 He points to the fact. which proba bly, is not known by one American in n thousand, that all the textbooks used for the study of English throughout Lauin-America were prepared by Ger mans Just how far this influence would go in favor of Germany as against the rest of the world, of course, there was no way of determining definitely, but that it had an important bearing on the attitude of some of these countries there iS no doubt, it was asserted
 But more Illuminating still was an other fact revealed by this ofiicia This was that in many. if not all, of stores were always found managed by the Latin-American countries, book n German. and il was often necessary to take what textbooks for schools they could furnish or go without, Owing to the willingness of the German book dealer to arrange easy credit for pay ment of books, it was his store which got the busienss.
 The official called attention to d still more significant fact, that there appear ed to be close relation existing be- tween these book store dealers and the German government.

BROTHER FARMERS: WE ARE
 FACING DISASTER

We can lessen it by prompt, firm and universal cooperation. If cotton is picked and ginned wet, the lint will bring fifty to one hunderd and fifty dollars per bale less and seed will be total loss. The giners are hereby urged to shut down their gins and urge their customers to not pick any cotton until clear weather comes and cotton thoroughly dries in the bolls. If they will pick it wet, force them to spread it out and dry before it is ginned Warn them not to let it heat. because in heating, it sets the stain in the lint and utterly destroys the value of the seed Some may be short-sighted enough to growl about it but it is for the farmers own good first, the gnners next. and thereafter the cotton buyers, manufacturers merchants, bankers. oil mills and insurance companies, trans portation companies, and last but not least. the welfare of every man wo- man and child the world over that has to be fed and clothed from the products of the cotton crop.
 Therefore in accordance with the above, the Prescott Gins will be closed down until further notice.

discuss ways and means of taking
over the Trolley line operating be

Alphonse Davis, agent, for the
sum of $4,000. From what we
have been able to ascertain a ma

opinion it would be more feasible
to operate a motor line instead of
the Trolley, and in that event if
the rails could be purchased at a
reasonable figure plans might be
