 OARkEM GRAY HAIR Bring Back its Color and Lustre with Grandma's Sage
 Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into . heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added. will turn gray. streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though. Is troublesome. An easier way Is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addition of other ingredients a large bottle. at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sinful. we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because 1t does it so natural 'y, so evenly. You just dampen 2 sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requi- site. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

Anti-profiseer Campaign
 Starts Over in Kansas

Topeka, May 28.-The decision of the United States circuit court in New York yesterday assessing a fine of $31,- 900 against Weeds Inc. clothiers, for iprofiteering, is looked upon by Ed T. Hackney, fair price commissioner of Kansas. "as practically settling the constitutionality of the Lever act.' Consequently he has authorized fair price commissions of the various coun- ties to conduct a search for profiteers in Kansas and has set forth the follow ing program on profits:
 Committees should mot in any case permit a margin o. profit to exceed B 1-3 per cent of the cost price of staple dry goods and clothing costing less than $50; shoes and hats of all kinds costing the merchant less than $10. These margins to be the maxi mum, and where conditions will per- init fair profit on less margins, it should be ulaced in effect"

MAKE RAID AT IDABEL
Several Gallons of Whiskey Seized at
 iiabel Last Week.

Idabel May Reinforcement off, cers dropped into our town Thursday morning and captured several gallons of whiskey and arrested several men and carried them to Hugo, to appear before the Commissioner. They made bond and returned to Idabel Thursday night The men were Garrett Igo, Ransom Kilgore, Joe Williams and Gordon Kilgore.
 In justice to at least part of them, We don't think they had anything to do with the whiskey. Joe Williams and Gordon Kilgore were only working as clerks in the market. The officers went to MT Igo's home and got his private stock, so he says.
 There has been considerable whis- key sold around Idabel for some time snd quite a good deal of drunkenness after night which has been quite bois- terous and complaint had been made to the officers. The officers forced their way into the Sinclaire Oil house lclcated on the right-of-way of the Frisco railroad and run by Amer Weems, but failed to find any whiskey

"It was talked among my friends tkat I was going to die and l don't believe any one ever had a much clos CT call" said James Mahooney, we'll known foreman of the Richard-Naust- adt Construction Co.,, living at 22 East 18th street, Los Angeles, Cal.
 Closely following an injury to my back, my whole system seemed to give way" he continued, There seemed to be a lump in my stomach and could not eat a thing without intense pain afterward My appetite left me completely and I got so weak Il could not even lift my feet to go up the steps. I was in misery all the time and could not straighten up for the pain in my stomach. Then 1 became constipated and my kidneys began troubling me so I could not sleep sound at night Be- fore these trouble started 1 weighed a hundred and forty-five pounds but dropped off until I actually did not weigh but siXty-fve, and if there was ever a living skeleton I was. I could hear my friends who came to see me say: Poor Jim! He can't last much longer, and I had no hope of ever get ting up Finally was told that noth ing more could be done except to op- crate and was too weak to stand that.
 "A friend urged me to try Tanlac and I agreed to slip me bottle as my wife objected to anything but pre- scribed medicines We'll, to make a long story short, I soon improved so much that 1 quit taking everything but Tanlac and now I am back at work feeling as strong and fit as I ever did in my life.

MANY SUBMIT TO BLACKMAiL
According to Private Detective, 1t is d Great and Thriving Industry
 in This Country.

One of the greatest of our private detectives told me the other day that if he were a bright young man and wanted to go into profitable business he would handle a nice line of black u.lil. says writer in the Boston Globe
 Relieve me-" said he, "more money Is being paid out in blackmail in this country than on the army and navy. Pm not kidding any. think that if I had the backmail payments for two years could settle our national debt and be money ahead"
 Now and then, he admitted, black mailers find rose leaves in their silken sheets.
 A young man was found dead some time ago Tn a certain Eastern city. a large part of his brains having been wasted by what seems to have been one of the large blue autOmatics the army and navy wear. He did not work on the case, but he thinks that the dead young man tried to blackmail the wrong person.
 He thinks he knows who the person is. but he isn't saying anything. He hopes some other blackmailer will try him on.
 gentleman from Chicago Is said to have been asked for $14,OOO by a pair of blackmailing crooks. The gen. tleman from Chicago enlisted the aid of his chauffeur and beat the pair of crooks so that the lady did not get out of hospital for four weeks. The man Is in the hospital yet.
 It was not polite or gentlemanly on the part of the Chicago man, but it was effective. The same pair will not try it on him again.
 "That is the only way to handle blackmailers, said the detective. Don't bargain with them-beat them. If you can't do it yourself hire man. But beat them so they think the next time out you will kill them. If you do not do it you're lost You will pay all your life. They never let up"
 Do you mean what you say about money payments?
 "It is the biggest business in the country, next to steel"

The Texarkanian suggests that it would be good plan for the state to hire state orator so that the gover- nor could stay on the job, The direc- tors of great bank or giant corpora tion of any kind would select man of known business ability to manage it, yet we select our presidents and gov ernors, executives of the greatest of all business enterprises, because the ap- pal to us on the rostrum or fill our minds with superstitions or inherited ideal of what a statesman ought to look like, or sound like. The other kind doesn't appeal to us at all. We spend the time between elections yam- mering about rotten politics and mis- administration, and then go and do the same thing over again. Some other pompous guy with flowing mane and t sonorious voice gets us going We, the people, are the government, and if we fail to get the things we want it is because we do not study men and is- sues as we should The voter is too fond of placing the responsibility else- where and not assuming enough of it himself, but the silent thinking voter is growing more numerous as the years go by.

GaWSWorth.

"A wood three miles long and three miles hroad' is the description of GaWswortl given in the Domesday Book. The village at the beginning of 1920. when it, along with the rest of the earl of IIarrington's Cheshire prop erty, is being sold at the Macclesfeld drill hall. preserves it's ancient bound- aries almost as they were in those hy- gone days. Besides the Old Hall, dat ing back to the fourteenth century, the village boasts of the most perfect titing ground in England. In the eighteenth century one of Gawsworth's sons earned fame as dancing master. poet, playwright, musician and actor combined. "Old Maggoty," or Mag goty Johnson" wrote "Hurlothrumbo," a satire on the age, to which he was instigated by the duke of Montague. "Old Maggoty" of Gawsworth was known in society as "Lord Flame" from the character of that name in his work.-Christian Science Monitor.

PLANTING.
How to Grow and Handle Sweet
 Potato Slips.

National Crop Improvement Service1
 The planting of slips should be de- layed until the ground becomes thor. oughly warm. This will vary from the middle to the last of April during the normal season. Most of the potatoes are planted from the middle part of April and up to the middle of June They may be planted later than this, and some have been known to secure. in the warmer part of the state, good yield from vine cutting planted as late as July and 6 crop of seed potatoes could be secured by planting as late as August. 1St, but as a rule it is not safe to plant after July 1.
 line usual distance apart for the rows is 36 to 4S inches, and the plants from 15 to 24 inches apart in the rows. Some growers prefer to use two plants to the hill, saying that it will produce more uniform potatoes of medium size
 On small acreage, the plants may be set out by hand. In transplanting sweet potato slips, the main thing to keep in mind is getting moist soil firm iy around the roots. Water about the roots when planting.
 When planting by hand, a cloudy day after rain, is to be desired, or work late in the afternoon. This gives the plants better opportunity to become established before the hot sun the fol. lowing day.
 On large plot a machine planter should be used. Three persons on a team can set three or four acres per day. This machine waters each plant as it is set. By using a machine, one does not have to wait for the weather.

If Ashdown is to have potato curing house to take care of the com ing crop the business men of the town are going to have to get behind the proposition. Unless this is done, we are told that the proposition cannot be financed at this time. The manner of rendering the needed assistance may be something to be worked out, The growers have started out in good faith to get the building financed from the product to be given. It may be in the light of present circumstaces that this method will have to be sup plemented by outside assistance. The plan given time will work out and the growers will own a cooperative plant The town can hardly allow this thing go by. It would be bad business to allow it to do so. Immediate steps should be taken to learn just what will be required to make the thing go and to unitedly get behind it and put it over, The committee representing the growers are level headed business men and will be able 10 make suggestions that will bring about a success,
