While 10 per cent of the total crop for 1919 is still on the farms, only 2S of the remaining 60 per cent has been shipped from the State
 About 39 per cent of the oats crop last year, or nearly 26,SOO,O00 bushels less then last year, are now in the bins. Of the remaining 61 per cent about two-thirds will be shipped out of the State.
 Wheat and barley are not kept over the winter in large amounts, for only IT per cent of the wheat and 27 per cent of the barley is still in the pos session of the farmer. About 67 per cent of the wheat and 45 per cent of the barley will be sold outside of the State.

SOUTH AMERICAN
 Y. w. c. A. TO OPEN

The second Young Women's Christian Association of South America will be organized this month in Rio de Janeiro by two American secretaries who have been associa ted with the Buenos Aires association. The need for association centers is very great in South America at pres ent as the number of wage-e earning women and girls has jumped in the past ten years from an inconsequen- tial number to 150,000 in Buenos Aires alone. There are practically no lunch rooms in the cities for women and girls. Those who work either carry their lunches or go home at the noon hour. The noon hour in South America is really two hours in length and one of the most effective services of the association IS to provide re- creation, opportunities for rest or for
 study during this long period in the heat of the day, when the girls usu- ally have nothing to do but walk the
 streets. The call from leading South American women for the opening of
 more ass ociation centers in their country is so great that the National Board of the Y. W. c. A. is including in it's 1920 program a large expansion in that direction.

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's na- turaI color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap7 pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addf- ton of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural colof and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en a sponge or soft Lrush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand-at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after -another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark and glossy Adv.

GOV. HOLCOMB'S PROCLAMATION
 ON FAST DAY

Following is Gov. Holcombs pro clamation for Fast Day:
 Tn days much simpler than these our forefathers used often. not only as individuals but also as a people. to seek Gods guidance in their per- plexities. They never forgot that the nation which goeth in the pride of it's own strength cannot fare far. Their example we would do well to bear in mind. A greater knowledge of the outward seeming of things is ours, but that knowledge sinks dumb be- fore the unchanging questioning of life and death. A greater grasp ot power is ours, but that power is as naught beside that of Him who may enter into the treasures of the snow or divide a way for the lightning or thunder. With these we have now and again in it's hurrying cur rent, in silent meditation, seeking to put ourselves in touch with the eter- nal source of goodness and truth and beauty. No time is so suited for this as the anniversary of that awful day when Divine Power and Wisdom bowed itself to mans studied pur- pose that it might in the end triumph in men'ss minds and hearts. I there fore name Friday, April the second, as day of public
 FASTING AND PRAYER
 in the hope that the citizens of this Commonwealth will then unite in humbly craving for themselves and all whom they may put in authority as much as may be of wisdom to plumb the deeps of Gods purposes and of strength to strive for the goal of His desire.''

RECONNAISSANCE FRANCHISE GIVEN
 SMITH UNIT

The silver medal of the Recon naissance Francaise'' has been be- slowed by the French Government on the Smith College Relief Unit. The citation reads as follows:
 Silver Medal of the "Reconnais. sance Francaise'.
 The Smith College Relief Unit, and American organizations:
 This Unit since the autumn of 1917, has taken care of the scattered civ ilian population. It brought both spiritual and great material help to the inhabitants of the department of the Somrne, which were freed after the German retreat, March 1917. In the course of the retreat of the Brit ish Army in March 1918, it was an inestimable help to the French Mis- sion and to the British Army in the evacuation of the civilian population. The American workers of this organ ization, driving their own automobile trucks untiring1y day and night. went everywhere for the purpose of evacu- alton, without regard for danger or for fatigue, hunting for the inhabit- ants even in the bombarded districts, and proving themselves calm and brave in trying circumstances.
 Miss Frances Valentine, American, member of the American Red Cross of New York:
 Under shell fire, during the offen- sive of March and April 1918, she helped with the evacuation of the sick, aged and children and with the establishment of canteens and res hHts on the Mondidier, Pcix and Beauvais fronts.

# KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHEE
Take Saltssto flush Kidneys and neutraliZe irritat-
 ing acids

Kidney and. Bladder weakness result from uric acid says a noted author ity The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the biad- der where it often remains to irritate and inf1ame, causing a burning. scala ing sensation, or setting up an irrita- ton at the neck of the bladder, oblig- ing you to seek relief two or three fines during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urina- tion.> While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacis and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neu- traIize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with 1ithia and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caus- cd by uric acid irritation. lad Salts je splendid for kidneys and causes nc bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, effer. vescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.- Adv.
