JEWETT CITY. MANAGER's
 VERSION OF THE GAME

Amidst the cheering of nearly 400, royal rooters of Jewett City and the groans of 100 Taftville followers, the basketball game between the Cres- cent A. A. of Taftville and the Jew ett City baslSetball team came to a finis Thursday evening.
 It was just an example of "slaugh- terers getting slaughtered" for the Taftville team, supposed to be the fastest quintet in this locality, but in reality the fastest between Occum and Taftville, only emerged from the game with only 25 points hanging to their jerseys while the JeWett City five came out with 62.
 Ficm a spectators standpoint the game was at times very uninteresting, for the Taftville boys were eleanly outclassed from start to finish.
 At the finish of the first half the score stood 29 to 14 in Jewett City's favor, but when the final whistle blew the victors had boosted the figures to 62 to 25 of their opponents. For the high score too much credit cannot be given to any one man.
 The mighty Vickery of New Lon don, as rule Taftville's mainstay, was completely dumbfounded and helpless against one of. the cleverest centers in Connecticut, c. Benjamin. w. Benjamin at right forYard and D. Blake at left forward as a general rule had enough time to match pen nies to see which man would do the shooting, as their opponents, White and Daley. were usually at the other end of the floor. evidently playing themselves. P. Mclean proved to be the black horse of the Jewett City lineup, caging baskets without the least exertion while Madden, Jewett City's right guard. contented himself with shooting five baskets and allow ing his man 2.
 Fans are looking forward with in- terest to the rubber game which will evidently be played in the near fu- ture in order to dispell any idea which Manager Benway may have that his team is gifted with basketball talent Ernest Benjamin, Manager the Jew ! cit City basketball team.

 In replying that under existing cir cumstances it was deemed advisable to withdraw the expeditionary force, the United States asserts that rein forcements would be impractical and that to maintain the status quo might involve the government of the United States in an undertaking of such indefinite character as to be in- adyisa ble,"

DARKEN GRAY HAIR j
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when 1t fades, turns gray. dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack OF sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, 80 evenly.
that nobody can possibly tell II has
been applied. You just dampen q
sponge or soft brush with IL and draw
this through your hair. taking ono
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications. IL also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives II
an appearance Of abundance. .
%Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur COM
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. II Is not In
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention Of disease.

Of sixty years the entire property

IMPORTANCE OF MALE BIRDS
Exert Much Influence In Producing
Qualities Of 0ffspring-Two
Glasses Of Hens.

Doctor Pearl, formerly Of the Maine
experiment station, makes mention of
the fact that among the high produc-
ing hens there are two classes, one
class having the ability to transmit
their high laying qualities to their
daughters and the other class being
poor breeders. 1t simply amounts to
the selection by means Of the trap nest
of the high layers. These In turn are
mated to sons of high layers and the
progeny of the mating Is again tested
as to egg production. 1t Is agreed by
the most careful observers that the
male bird exerts very important in
fluence in the producing qualities OF
the offspring, and that good hen
mated to a poor male would likely
give very Indifferent results.

INDIANS WORSHIP SUN
Ancient Customs Carried Out
Amid Weird Surroundings.


Pocatello. Idaho.-Every year In
midsummer the Bannock Indians
travel llttle-used trail to their dane
Ing grounds. Between 800 and 1000 Of
them gather yearly to worship the sun.
In the vast quiet Of the evening,
when the hush has fallen over the sage
brush and the sun Is great ball Of
red fire sinking behind the mountains
the dreary beat of their tomtoms and
the low, ghostly chant Of their song
can be heard for miles. The sound
grows In strength as one approaches
until with a great burst Of glaring
campfires and seeming confusion the
camping grounds are reached. Indians
In their native garb are everywhere,
hideous In their war paints and with
glistening naked bodies.
In the center of corral made from
limbs stands pole. Back against the
walls are the dancers and the chant
ers, and In rhythm to the beat of the
tOmtOms the dancer advances to the
pole, eyes uplifted In worship.
The young bucks who dance are not
permitted to eat or drink for three
days and are accompanied by the tom
toms beaten by the squaws. The dance
is religious rite and festival of
thanks to the gods for bountiful crops
and herbs, streams full of fish and the
sky full Of fowls.
Now and then one falls to the
ground unconscious from physical ex-
haustion and is carried to the side to
recover.

DAY FOR DIGGING POTATOES
Quality Is Influenced to Considerable
Extent by Manner In Which
They Are Dug.

The table quality Of potatoes Is In
fiuenced to a considerable extent by
the way they are dug and stored.
Potatoes should be dug II possible,
on a clear day. when the soil Is not
wet enough to cling to them, advises
the college. They should be left In
the field only long enough to become
dry, then stored In a place which is
cool and rather moist, and as dark as
possible.
Under ordinary home storage condi-
tons, because of the danger of decay,
II Is not wise to have the potatoes more
than two and one-half or three feet
deep, either in pile or In box, says
an agricultural college potato man.
