dent of the school board received
a telegram from w. K. Menden-
hall who is in Austin in interest

stating that the bond issue had
been approved by the Attarney

prospective bond purchasers and
bids will be received in the near
future.
The issue is for SITS. 100000.

school in FL Jardin district and
repairing the Fourth Ward

Ihe donation of three acres OF
grund in the FL Jardin thact for

trict, has enabled the board Of educa-
tion to complete the details Of its

was selected after b. III. Frazier, rep.
resentinc~ the company and II. +
Starck, secretary of the cshool board,

proximate center of the $500 acres
of the FL Jardin tract within the

$50 feet and il extends backward
enough to give the three acres.
The board plans to put up mod
ern four room building there in time

term. The additional ground, it i
hoped. will be available later for ele-
mentary work in agriculture and hor.
.iculture by the school children. The
board has had in mind the institution
Of such work, although no attempt
has as yet been made TO wark out the
details.

"CENTER OF i. s.
POPULATION" HAS
AGAIN BEEN MOVED

BLOOMINGTON. Ind. Oct. 20--No-
evident than down I'm Southern Lndi-
ana at the center of population of the
United States. The old familiar House
For Rent" sign is hanging out and
at Ben Ranard's blacksmith shop the
IIoosier villagers are whiting on
goods boxes and specializing ON wheth-
cr or not the earth is round, just as
they did before the war,
1t will besa long time before they
quit talking about the gerat day when
they held celebration and dedicated
to their little village of Whitehall
ten.foot wooden monument, set up
on the main road bearing the proud
inscription Center of Population,
L. :. A.-l92O.' But their first flush
of excitement and pride suddenly
changed to lament and disgust when
Professor W. \. Cogshall, Indiana I'm
iversty astronomer, came fout to owen
county and after a few nights of star
gain ". as the natives called It,,
determined from astronomical calcula-
tions that an old beech tree in a
hillside briar patch on Russell Rob
insons farm two and one-half miles
west of Whitehall and eleven miles
west of Bloomington, seat of Indiana
University and former center of pop
ulation was the new hub of the nation.
From that day to this the natives
have had no interest in their sudden
leap into national lmelight. Oliver
Ranard, who lived within 200 yards oil
the old beech tree, has moved out.
He served notice that the center OF
population is no place for the rent
profteer by moving two miles down
the road where he gets a house, barn,
garden and pasture free. There within
200 yards of the center of population,
the five room bungalow he formerly
occupied stands. wanting a renter at
So per month. Garden, orchard, pas
ture, heavily laden walnut trees in
the front yard, big persimmon patch
down the road, paw paws, squirrels

from where a white lightnin' still was
raided recently by government agents.
and with "A church only quarter Of u
mile away--house, barn and all for
five dollars month but not rent
er in sight. The housing situation is
not problem at the center of popu-
lation.
Ben Ranard has been urged to open
IN cold drink stand in connection
with his blacksmith shop. which is the
nearest business establishment to the
population beech. He serves as free
information bureau for seekers after
the center of population, and sympa-
thetic, well minded travellers have poin-
ted out TO him that his pop stand would
be the business hub Of the country
strategical!y located for national trade
from North, South, East and West.

WASHING MACHINE
INDUSTRY DOING
1919 BUSIN ESS"

CHICAGO, oct. 20-After telling
how the Washing Machine industry
of this country took terrific losses
last year and by doing 50 was one
of the first to recover from the bus
mess slump. T.. Il. SeitZ, Il Chicago,
secretary of the American Washing
Machine Manufacturers Association.
TO-DAY declared before the National AS
sociation of Corrugated and Fiber
Manufacturers in session here that
the industry was now doing 1919
business and was more than satisfied
Mr. Scitz stated Beginning twelve
months ago, the business of cur in
dustry slumped along with the rest of
the country's business. While we were
the last of the industries to feel the
depression, we are among tho first
to recover. The explanation in quite
simple Nineteen twenty was an abnor-
NAL year, and Il comparison with the
figures of that years business would
be liscouIaglng. but we are now doing
a ninetenn-nineteen business and dur
ing that year we were more than sat
isfied-so why not he now?
Our methods of restoring business
has been three.fold First--our com
panies took their losses--terlific loss
es too--in most cases the deprecia-
ton being greater than the total APP
probation of the war times-whch
enabled them TO quote rock-bottom
Dre-War values
"Second-dealers have been educat-
cd TO the necessity e heroic sales
efforts for buyers market as con-
trasted TO the velvet of selling mar
ket.
"Third-the public has been taken
into confidence and has been frankly
told through the mediums of local
newspaper advertsing-of the losses
taken and the story of an industry
that returned TO n pre-war basis and
was starting all over again
"A consumers boycott is a serious
thing. especially when it lasts a year,
but as far as our industry is con-
cerned. il is at an end No one factor
has contributed more to its demise
than the newspaper advertising that
carried the story of our wiping out
the profits gained by the rising mar
ket of the war period.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandn@'s Sage Tea and sulphur
phur Recipe and Nobody Will
Know

The use of Sage and sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back TO grandmother's time.
She used it 10 keep her hair beaut-
fully dark. glossy and attractive. When
ever 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.
\ wcll-known downtown druggist
says ii darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell il
has been applied. You simply damp
on IA sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, talk
ing one strand at Il time. by morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two il becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

FOR SHEEP PROTECTION.

n No sooner has the long fight been
4 won for supreme court decision up
4 holding really worth while sheep
protection law, until the legislative
hopper is flooded with bills for the re-
4 peal of the act. To repeal the So
X called dog law of 1919 would be dis
tinctly retrograde movement and eff
forts in that direction should bring
. chorus of protests from the farm
ers and forward thinking citizens of
Tennessee
4 The dog law. which should properly
I be termed an act to encourage the
! raising OF sheep in Tennessee, has
not had fair trial. Its enforcement
has been hampered by the opinion of
lawyers and lower courts that 1t was
not constitutional, but even despite
this handicap, it has proved to be
real insurance to sheep owners against
losses in their flocks through the dep
, rotations of dogs. In many counties
the collections have more than paid
for every sheep killed by worthless

y Agriculture is the chief resource of
Tennessee. Live stock farming is not
only the most profitable character of
farming in this state but it promotes
increased crop yields and maintains
soil fertility. Anything that will en-
courage the growing of sheep, the best
farm scavenger and altogether the most
most profitable farm animal, should
have the support of patriotic Tennes
scans. The Herald does not believe
that the bills seeking the repeal of
the dog law reflect the best senti-
ment of the progressive farmers OF
Tennessee.
County councils of agriculture and
other farm organizations should join
in an emphatic protest against the
repeal of the dog law. That dogs are
menace to sheep raising all admit
There is therefore nothing but sim
pie Justice in the proposition that they
should contribute to an insurance
