degrees to 80 degrees. Temperatures
dropped considerably below freezins
in the western third on Monday and
Tuesday mornings. but the central and
eastern thirds were more fortunate
and escaped either with temperatures
barely to freezing or not quite that
low. Soaking rains fell Sunday and
Sunday night southeast of line
drawn from st. Joseph to Wichita.
There was little or no fall of moisture
over the rest of the state and many
important wheat counties in the CEN
trail portion are becoming quite dry.
Wheat is generally looking fine,
especially in the eastern third, where
there is an abundance Of moisture.
1t would be much benefited by rains
in the central and western portions.
where there are complaints of damage
from soil blowing in late planted
fields, but the damage is not serious
yet. In the southern counties wheat
is four to six inches high and almost
trail and northeast portions it is three
to five inches high and in the extreme
northwest two to, three indhes. The
crop is furnishing excellent pasture in
many sections.
Oats sowing is finished, except in
the northern counties. where it is
about three-fourths done. Barley seed
ing is fully as well advanced in the
western portion. Corn planting is be-
ginning in a few southern counties
a week ahead of the season-and will
be started in many central and eastern
counties in ten days to two weeks. if
weather conditions are favorable. Po-
tato pianting IS well under way and
will sdon be finished in the Kaw val
ley. The ground is generally in fine
condition for spring blowing, which is
making excellent progress. Alfalfa
and pastures are doing well. Apricots,
peaches and pears are in full bloom in
most places

HARFLEUR ONCE GREAT PORT
Made So by English Invaders, Who
Were Finally Driven Out Of

After the conquest of England, Har-

earlier period of the Hundred Years

terror OF the English. Naturally, says

High Ecclesiastical Authority Of Gen.
turtles Ago Had Wonderful Idea
of Sea Serpent.

Rudyard Kipling's conception of a
pair of sea serpents-great white,
blind pathetic creatures risen from
the primordial ooZe-made corking
yarn. but it wasn't bit more imagi-
native than the grisly description
penned in all seriousness centuries ago
by CLAUS AIagnus, archbishop of Up
sala. The worthy archbishop wrote:
Their forms are horrible, their
heads square, all set with priclzly,
and they have sharp and long horns
about, like tree rooted up by the
roots. They are 10 or l. cubits long,
very black and with huge eyes, the
compass whereof is about s or 10 Gu
bits. The eve is red and fiery colored,
which in the dark night appears to
fishermen afar off under waters as
Il burning fire, having hairs like goose
feathers, thick and long. like beard
hanging down. The rest of the body,
for the greatness of the head, which
Is square, is very small, not being
above IA or 10 cubits long. One of
those sea monsters will easily drown

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre With Sage Tea
and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur. no one can
tell. because it's done so naturally,
evenly. Preparing this mixture
though, at home is mussy and trou-
biesome. At little cost, you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, called "Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You
Just dampen sponge or sofs brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. BY morning all gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as
we all desire youthful and attrac-
tive appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger.

The petrified woods are beautiful

ness of 0.003 inch or less and placed uil-

cells being distinct. though now they

Peter Cooper, designer and builder
of the first locomotive, was an inventor
from childhood His first invention.
according to Thrift Magazine, was a
crude washing machine. or. in reality,
an arrangement for pounding soiled
linen ON wash day. This he put to-
gether to nelp his hard-w0rked mother.
But probably one of his greatest
helps TO his father, mother and eight
brothers and sisters was the shoes he
made for them. In his autobiography
he tells how he made the shoes:
81 first obtained an old pair, and /
took them apart to see the structure,
ard then after procuring leather,
thread and needles and some suitable
tools, without further instruction,
made the last, and pair of shoes
which compared very fayorably with
the country shoes then in vogue"
