LEAGUE NOT WANTED.

Everybody in Czecho-Slovakia ap-
pears to be thoroughly disguised with
the workings of the league of nations
as applied to that infant republic. At
a recent mass meeting attended by
members of all the political parties a
resolution was adopted demanding the
removal of the plebiscite commission
appointed by the league. The commits
sion is blamed in the resolution for re-
sponsibility for much bloodshed and
disorder. marked partiality toward the
Poles, and complete failure to un-
derstand local conditions. The reso-
luton pointedly declares that the
Czechs are quite able to defend their
own rights in the plebiscite zone with
out outside interference.

have advanced an equal or greater ex-

less than the other nations but even at
that the strain has been severe on
every citizen. There are many persons
who declare that prices cannot go

A "TIMID" WOMAN
QUITS HER KITCHEN
For Job as Sheriff, Although She
Loves Her Home, And Deputies
Say She Is Making Good.

Duncan, Okla. - From the kitchen
to the officer of sheriff is a long jump,
but Mrs. William Gates, of Duncan has
taken it-and is making good on the
job, according to her deputies.
Mrs. Gates is the first woman to be
appointed to the office of sheriff in Ok

She readily admits her age, AZ years.

children are handicap to her.

her husband shortly before his death
As he lay nhis bed, expecting death.
he called the commissioners to him
and asked them to appoint his wife as
his successor in the office after his
death. This they did.
That a woman can make Just as
good a sheriff, and enforce the law just
as well as a man. is being demonstrate
ed every day. Duncan citizens say.
While this city is being flooded with
oil field workers who are coming to
help open up the new field here. she
has had no trouble in handling them.
Three stills have been captured
since she took charge of the office.
| Mrs. Gates doesn't go on raids herself.
but she says she is going to see that
the moonshiners of the county are
| cleaned out as fast as she learns of
their activities. She has kept intact
the force of deputies built up by her
husband, and SAYS she has implicit
| confidence in their ability.
I'm not going TO run for the office
when the term for which have been
appointed expires in eight months. s.
she declares. because it's too much

doesn't show when she is dealing Will

Mr.. Gates was at one time wealth,
stockman of Stephens county. He
served as law enforcer here one yea

LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR CRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
viii Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded. gray hair to its
natural 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
appearance, 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
addition of other ingredients, which
can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell
it has been applied. You simply
eampen a sponge or soft brush~with
il and draw this through your hair,
taking one strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or
two. 1t becomes beautifully dark and
giossy.-Adv.

The distant draw of the sands
was upon him now. rousing the old
lonliness that sometimes made
trouble. At such times Con thought
of his mother. The woman next
door had told him enough to iden-
tify his fathers beloved with the
nameless beauty in his own heart
The hurt of this loveliness was or
ten the starting point for a ram
page in the cutters. A sweetness
was forever eluding him. 1t swept
near in the words of Stephen March.
and at last there was a guidance
upon his energies. Their talk of
danger was only a courtesy. as Con
regarded it. For one who had
