The present term Of the iDistrict
Dourt has brought few persons to the
city. No petit jury was summoned
and last week the members of the
grand jury were notified to not appear.

witnesses over from Florenceville.
This will probably be the only case
tried before the Court. enabling Judge
Taylor to close the work of the term
at the end of theyweek.

SAGE TEA TURNS
 CRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe To Bring Back Color and Lustre
 To Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streak ed. just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances it's ap- pearance a hundredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mix ture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound. This can always be depend ed upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell il has been applied. You simply dampen q sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at g time; by morning the gray hair has disap- peared. and after another applica- tion it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous.

DEEPLY SIGNIFICANT

AS we understand it. the celebration of the Fourth of July is something than occasion for the Eagle to scream, youthful enthusiasts burn up powder or campaign orators make the welkn (what ever that be) ring All of these are but the out ward expressions the deep significance of the Birth of Freedom and the determination of Ameri cans to keep alive the spirit that inspired their an cestors than century and hall ago to proclaim it's birth in the land, newest then of all and now the greatest all the world.
 Observance of the anniversary of that birth this year should not be allowed to be affected by what las been termed reaction from the war that Is said to have produced lassitude toward things ol tradition and principle. We should not forget that but lately freedom, in common with that Of other peoples, threatened, and the spirit of Dem ocracy has just emerged from fresh baptism of the lifeblood of Americas best youth. Nor can we afford to wilfully be blind to the fact that propa- ganda aimed at it's destruction is still being spread abroad increasingly.
 To the average American, patriotism is not a thing to be lightly the sleeve for every day occasons. They reverence the Flag and all for which it stands, the ideals, and principles which 1t carries to the whole world And today we express that reverence with the usual outward manifesto tons of rejoicing in the anniversary of the memor- able day Forefathers gathered in conclave set their signatures to the document that marked the modest beginning of the United States of America in the of Freedom and made possible Old Glory know it. And the celebration we have will be a symbol renewed faith in the destiny of this Republic that was founded the principle of equality of and has grown great in adherence to it and its advocacy of the square deal among tions well among men.

 The principle of bathing inside is not new, as millions of people practice it.

Although President Hibben of Princeton Univer- sty has been regarded extreme conservative, his baccaaureate address to the senior class reads like Democratic speech in support of the League of Nations Urging the young men soon to enter their life careers by the memory of their noble associates who died for cause in France, to ad- here to the lofty principles which guided the coun try in 1917-1S, he said:
 In those days lived the high
 places of the earth and the vision and
 dreamed the dream of order of things
 in the world. The words duty, sacrifice

 stanty in thoughts Instead
 of the fulfment of this dream we have
