Instinct of the Grnundhnn

Questions about the grounding as a
weather prognosticator arise with each
recurring February 2. The marmot
family. to which the grounding be-
longs, lies dormant In winter, hibernat-
ing much like the bear and the bat.
At the approach Of cold weather in the
fall they curl UP asleep at the bottom
Of their deep burrows. About the time
Of the usual midwinter thaw the
grounding comes out. BY peculiar
instinct he is able to foretell the
weather several weeks ahead. When
his sagacity tells him that an early
breakup is at hand he stays out. When
a storm period threatens he pops into
his hole again and goes to sleep. not
reappearing for weeks.

Easy To Darken
Your Gray Hair
You Can Bring Back Color and Lus-
tire 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, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome At little cost, you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
separation, improved by the addi-
on of other ingredients, called
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking pie small
strand at time. By >morning all
gray hair disappears, ana after an
other application oS<two your hair
becomes beautffufy darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and looks years younger.

 eXcuse!"
 James Carragien, recently become proprietor and manager of the Eagle and Central theatres, is having a round of trouble in the local justice courts, and has even laid for an hour or two in a jail cell until he could either make bond or persuade which ever justice of the peace he was deal ing with that he needed no bond.
 It Is difficult to recite just how it is done, but James Carragien has sue ceeded in getting into trouble with remarkable facility, and out of again with an ease that is little short of sorcery. To understand more fully it would be necessary to hear Carra- glen talk, and to hear him talk would be to wish him well and to be entire ly in accord with him, regardless of what he said
 However, James Carragien is in trouble-again. In the first place, one Fidel Espanza, of Chandler, county of Maricopa, came to Bisbee about two weeks ago and employed an attorney to inform Carragien that if he did not pay tle sum of $250, which he allaged he owed him. there would be something doing. He made the mis- take of talking with Carragien, and for some time there was nothing do- ing, but the attorney filed a complaint in the local justice court alleging that the said James Carragien did obtain from the said Fidel Espanza.
 the sum of S250 under false pretenses from the said Fidel Espanza. Accord ing to Espanza, Carragien undertook the construction of a theatre in Chandler, and he, Espanza, paid $250 for a concession in the building. The foundations of the building were laid, but the building was never built. Es-

FERGUSON AGAIN hNNEXES STATE
 TENNIS TITLE

Arizona state tennis champions, as
 the result of tournament play conclud-
 ed Sunday on the courts Of the War
 ren District Country Club, are: N. A.
 Ferguson, of Fl Paso. singles cham

 Bailey, of Fl Paso, doubles cham
 pions; T. B. Smith, of Morenci, vet

 champion Miss Kissinger and Mrs.
 Mary M. Palmer, of Douglas, ladies' doubles champions; John Williams, of Douglas, junior Singles champion, and H. s. McGee and r. J. Orth, of Doug las, veteran doubles champions.
 Ferguson, four times champion of the border states, had little difficulty in anneXing the state championship title. However, some spectacular play was witnessed in his match with George A. Judson, of Phoenix, runner up. Ferguson had some difficulty at first in solving Judson's vicious cut serve. and in the first set of the match Judson was remarkably successful with speedy, wellplaced drives that frequently passed Ferguson at the net. The veteran champion soon stead fed down, and it became apparent that he was going to outgeneral his az gressive opponent.

 Judson continued to play strong at s,, tl, "a, last two. After the first set he sell dom got his serve over, and frequent. ly served doubles. hopeless weak ness in championship play. Fergu- son proved to be invincible at the i net, placing accurately the most ter rife drives from Judson. He also has 1 a peculiar ability to drive in a pinch, | when his opponent is at the net and | he has reached the ball from an un- l favorable position. The champion sei- 1 dom takes the aggressive, but by cley- l CT play for position forces his oppo- nent to drive, and counters with ex- treme steaGiness and accuracy. If [ Ferguson has any marked weakness it is in overhead play, and Judson neg lected opportunities to lob where that form of play would have been more successful than smashing drives.
 Ferguson won in three straight sets. 7-5. 6-2, 6-2. In the semi-finals Fer spson won from Hal Christy, of Fl Paso, 6-1, so, and Judson won from Bert Baker. of the University of Ari- zona, 6-S. $, 6-4. Judson played, bet ter tennis in his game with Baker than he did with Ferguson.
 Ferguson and Bailey won the open doubles championship only after the most strenuous match of the entire tournament. The first set was the longest of any played in the tourna- ment, 11-9, and practically every game went to deuce several times. The match was featured by the re- lobbing game on the part of T. B. Smith, of MOrenci. and H. T. Cuthbert, runners-up. Smith and Cuth- bert played the one type of game that Ferguson and Bailey have the most ( 10 fear, as neither are very good at overhead play.

The score was 6-3, 6-3. In the semi-finals. Williams beat W. Evans. GO, 6-2; and Melcher beat H. Ross, GO, 6-1.
 Miss Grace Kissinger, Of Douglas, won the women's open singles by de- feating Miss Opal Core. of Bisbee, 6-1. 6-4. As far as service and general play was concerned Miss Core play ed as good and sometimes a better game than her opponent, but she had no chance to win on account of con stant failure to go 10 the net when the opportunity afforded. Throughout the match she was not at the net more than two or three times. Miss Kissin- ger, on the other hand, always played for an opportunity to get to the net, and easily scored by this method.
 Miss Kfssinger and Mrs Mary M. Palmer won the women's doubles by defeating Miss Opal Core and Miss Lillian Reagan, 6-1, 6-2, i-2 As in the singles match, superior play on the part of the Douglas play CTS carried the day.

Mr.. DAUGHERTY TRAILS
LIQUOR SEIZED BY U. S.
In Reviewing Many Cases He Be-
gins to Wonder What Becomes
Of Vast Quantities.

Efforts are being made by the De-
partment of Justice. at the direction
Of Attorney General Daugherty, to find
out what becomes of liquor seized
by government officials.
In reviewing many prohibition cases
which come to his desk Mr.. Daugh-
erty said today he had begun to Won
der what became of the vast Quanti-
ties of alcoholic beverages seized by
the government in the prosecution of
bootleggers. While it was the depart
ment's duty to attend to the prosecu-
ton of liquor law violations. he de-
clared he had become interested in
the possibility of putting condemned
liquors to some practical use. and at
the same time to save heavy ware
house bills.
Seized liquors. Mr.. Daugherty said,
could be disposed Of for non-beverage
purposes to hospitals or the alcohl
might be abstracted and used COM
mercially. Mr.. Daugherty said he did
not know how much liquor was stored
by the government in different places.
though it has been reported there
were supplies valued between $5,OO0,-
900 and s6,000.000 at non-beverage
prices in New York city alone
Attention was directed by Prohibi-
tion Commissioner Haynes today to
the practice of certain proprietors of
bonded warehouses and bonded store
rooms of removing wine from their
bonded premises for the use of them
seolves and their families withut per-
mits. and for beverage purposes. In
a letter to all federal agents he de-
clared that all such offenses would be
severely dealt with in the future.
