every indoor and outdoor sport. Can
you or any Of your daily readers tell
Inc what to do?
NESONE-THAT'S ALL.
My dear little girl, you have hit the
nail on the head. You are too refined.
Don't you know that truly refined
person never stops to say or think that
he or she is refined? True refinement
never "sticks out" When it does it,
merely veneer and bores others to
death.

What to Do
8y CYNTHIA


Should She Thank Them?
Dear Cynthia-At an informal eve
ming party should one thank ones
escort and other boys after dancing with
them, especially if one knows the boys
only slightly? Should a girl ever thank
a man for dancing with her?
What is the correct thing to say when
one is asked for dance?
READER.
The great thing is to be natural. DO
not say stilted things. It's awkward to
say anything set. When asked to dance
say, "Why, yes, I'd like to-" or "Yes,
indeed, I'd love it," And after the
dance say THAT was fine, wasn't it?'
or Il did enjoy that immensely"

l. able in the way of bathroom ap-
purtenances than good looking towels,
particularly Turkish towels Maybe
that is why / admired so extravag2ntly
the Turkish towels stamped for en-

Railroad President Suggests Curtail-
 ing Industry to Provide Labor.

Washington, May S.-Daniel Will lard, president of the B. and o. rail road, recognizing the grave shortage in farm labor, has asked the Council of National Defense to come to the rescue.
 In a letter to Secretary of War Baker, chairman of the council, MT Willard calls attention to the serious ness of the situation which the farm CTS and the country are facing Un- less something is done to get an ade- quate supply of farm labor, he fears food shortage next fall MT. Will lard suggests that the Council of Ma tional Defense take some action to curtail employment of men in cer- tain nonessential industries, particu- larly during the harvest season. Roadbuilding, he suggests, as one thing might be curtailed.
 Secretary Baker said he would give Mir. Willard's appeal serious attention and would call a meeting of the coun- cil of defense to take up the matters in the near future.

Old Carranza from all reports is a fugitive as all the other presidents O. Mexico have been, except those who didn't get started to running quick enough, and were lined up before a brick wall He has lasted longer than most and was as bad as the best of them. But is this the end Of revolu- ton in Mexico? There is not the ma terial there to build self governing nation from in so short a time. Chris tiality and education is the only solu- tion for Mexico's troubles, and these things are not accomplished in a day. The same merry -go-round of revolut ion is all that can be hoped for unless Uncle Sam could see his way c,ear to take them over until they were able to establish and maintain a decent gov- ernment in perhaps another genera tion.

 Organize, Farm Bureau

Hope, May 10.-In spite of the heavy rains and bad roads, some thirty five or forty farmers met at the court house in Washington Friday afternoon as per previous announcement, Dis trict Agent Harry F. Kapp and Dir ector W. F. Lassetter were present and discussed some of the problems in which the farmers of the country are interested The Farm Bureau idea WAS discussed at ength by MT. kapp and, after a general discussion of the subject, it was decided to put on a three-day membership campaign be- ginning June 18th and enroll as many farmers as possible The executive committee of the County Agricultural Advisory Board will meet within the next few days and arrange the de- tails of the campaign, appoint com mittees cts.
 The Farm Bureau idea is something new in this state as well the entire South. It is a business organization of the farmers and proposes to enable the farmer to tranact their own ous- mess through cooperation, More than twenty states have already or ganized on this plan and the American Farm Bureau Federation was organlz- ed last fall with more than million members. It is hoped that this state will be sufficiently organized within the next few months to become feder- ated with the national organization.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA ID DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to Restore Color, Gloss,
 Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just q few applications will prove a revela- ion if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, Is trou- blesome. An easier way Is to get bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in- gredients.
 While wispy. gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkenirg your hair with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound. no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy, soft and luxuriant.
 This preparation Is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure. mitigation or prevention of dis ease.
