Alexandria and Other Clark County
People, Victims OF Their Own
Authorities, Complained Of
keokuk Merchants.

w. N. Sage has dozen teams at
work on the Alexandria road, and
by night will have it passable where
it has been impossible for ninety
days.
There has been no week for three
months when vehicle could pass
the big mud hole half way between
the Des Moines river bridge and
Alexandria, except four-horse team
to a wagon.
That hole is being filled with rock,
to fix 1t permanently, and the sur
facing will make it one spot Of real
road in that five-mile stretch.
Its nothing to me personally,
said Mr.. Sage today, "and in fact it
would be worth $500 to me to have
that road abandoned and closed. But
one can't be selfish, you know, and
it certainly is important to Keokuk
to have that road kept in good con-
dition.
$50 l just put lot of teams to
work and then went around and got
part of the money to pay for it from
Keokuk merchants. It will cost $500
or $500"
People Were Getting Nasty.
A visit to his old home town yes
terday disclosed to Mr.. Sage that
the people there were getting really
sore at being cut off from Keokuk
by that immense mud hole.
They were threatening to boycott
put it up to Mr.. Sage to remedy the
matter. So he did it.
The queer thing is, that the mud
hole is in Missouri and the party re.
sponsible for it being there is the
Clark county road authority. which
seems to have fixed policy Of keep
ing that five miles as bad a road as
is possible.
Keokuk city cannot build roads in
Missouri, of course, and neither can
Lee county.
Becker's Death Stopped Work.
When C. l.. Becker was alive, he
made it his business to keep that
road passable, at least. Every spring
he would take up collection and
then supervise the work and the
spending of the money But he died,
and since then nothing much has
been done about 1t in keokuk, until
today, when W. N. Sage got busy on
the proposition.
That road is the only entrance to
Keokuk from the state of Missouri
and sector of about third Of the
territory around Keokuk.
There has always been suspicion

few applications will prove a revel-
alton if your hair is fading, streaked

Troublesome. An easier way is to get
q 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for USE. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition Of
other ingredients. ~. .r<,.t,:,
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it
so naturally, so evenly. You just
dampen q sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning all gray hairs have disap-
peared, and, after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.
