sage TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre to Hair

That beautiful even shade Of dark.
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When IL
fades, turns gray or streaked just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun
dredfoli.
Don't bother TO prepare the mix
ture you can get this famous OLD
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound This can
always be depended upon to bring back
| the natural color and lustre of your
/ hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" now because il
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation II becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.-Adv

START NOVEL LETTER
EXCHANGE IN SCHOOL

In Richmond, Ind, tie boys and
girls in the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades of the public schools, under
the direction OF the instructor of
penmanship, are exchanging letters
with boys and girls in the public
schools of far away cities.
The pupils OF Richmond exchanged
their first letters with pupils in
Schenectady, N. Y. Other cities are
to be added TO the list.
The one thing necessary before a
pupil can take part in this letter ex-
change is that he show good arm

Some of the letters received by
Richmond pupils have been pub

ROAD TO MADILL.

Carter county's commissioners have
done well, thus far, in their efforts
to have constructed a hard-surfaced
highway leading from Ardmore to the
rd-Hewitt-Healdton oil fields.
The road, a good road, connecting
the city, as the source of supply
with the oil fields, the source OF
wealth is a debt due the oil interests
Of Southern Oklahoma. 1t is a debt
which the citizens of the county owe
to the interests which has done much
in the matter of the development or
this section, which has added most
materially TO the wealth Of the entire
county.
Good roads are the great developers
of any section. They bring COM
munities together, unite counties and
link states With the coming of the
automobile and the automotive truck
the hard-surfaced road supplants the
band Of steel with which railways
have heretofore connected sections oil
country and developed resources.
Viewed from the proper point of
vantage, Carter county cannot do
better than to add to its road build
ing activities. Ardmore cannot do bet.
ter-the citizens Of Ardmore cannot
do better than TO encourage the con-
struction OF more roads, to radiate
from here, like the spokes Of some
giant wheel, with this city, the metro
polls Of Southern Oklahoma, as the
| hub.
Madnl 10 the southeast OF Ardmore,
has already laid the ground plans for
constructing "a connecting link which
will join the road into Durant, there

CIRLHOOD STORIES
OF FAMOUS WOMEN
Josephine Shaw Lowell

Sure, an me darlin', this is fine
ice cream" praised the old washwom-
an as she eagerly devoured big dish
of strawberry ice cream and choco-
late cake.
"Well, I'm just so glad you could
come today, Mrs. O'Hallaran," re-
piled Josephine, who was skipping
quickly around the yard filling the
plates OF her guests as soon as they
were emptied.
Josephine Shaw was a little girl
who dearly loved ice cream and
wanted to give it to others who could
not afford to buy it. Every Satur-
day she had a party and invited all
the poor mothers and children Of the
neighborhood.
Josephine Shaw Sewell became a
great social worker. She was presi-
dent of the New York State Fedora
tion OF Women's Clubs which put
through many reform laws in that
state.

THE TAX-kICkER.

The News would not dispute the fact
that We have high taxes but the que'-
ton arises as to who has a right TO
kick?
During the past ten years the cry
has been high taxes" il may have
been true In the beginning and that
taxes have continued to get higher.
Several questions might be asked
along this line:
Did you come to label of your
own free will and accord?
How much were you worth when
you came 10 Idabell9
How much are you worth today?
In the first place il you were ar
rested and brought here or If you
were forced to leave some other coun'
try and seek refuge here, then YOU
have right to Kick ut the taxes
The next question might be ans
wered together II YOU were u pau.
per when you came here and you still
remain pauper you can not blame
the country or the taxes. II YOU
came here paupcr or with money
and nave made money YOU still have
no Kick coming for the country has
made YOU. Since the country has
made YOU whs not you help make the
country? 1t takes money 20 build W
any country and this money can be
secured in no other way except taxa
ton.
There are men In ldab,l who came
here practically pcnnilcss who are
worth thousands OF dollars. There
are Others who came here with a lit
tie money who are worth much mor'
and 10 long as they are getting th'
Fat of the lapd and the town Is max
ing them 1t is not only their duty
to help make town, but they should
have to pay taxes, and that so lon'
as they are piling up profits thel
have no kick coming.
The fellow who kicks on his taxe'
usually hns his property assessed a
about twenty-five per cent OF its val
ue. This Is not always the case bu
seyenty-five per cent Of the cases We
be found to be- this way. Now jus
make a list Of those who are alway

new MOVIE HOUSE
TO OPEN WITHIN
NEXT FEW WEEKS

Ardmorc is TO have a new moving
picture house known as the Liberty
Theatre, it will be located in the Pen
nington and Williams building owned
by D. c. Sampley opposite Westheimer
and Daube on East Main street. The
building will have a seating capacity
of 300 people and will be modernly
equipped throughout.
ID. c. Sampley and associates will
operate the theatre and hope to be
able TO open the house within the next
three weeks.
Mr.. Sampley intended putting in a
theatre last fall but owing to a lease
held on the room by an automobile
concern he was unable to do So how
ever he states that he hopes to be
open in the time specified above and
will show nothing but the best Of pic
lures.
With the completion Of this and
the theatre on West Main street own
ed by the Concolidated Amusement
Company Ardmore will have five NOV
ing picture houses for white people
and one for colored folks, the latter
being located ON East Main street

giving the farmers and the merchants
of the small towns along that route a
means of reaching the markets of the
larger towns. In addition to this, 1t
is understood, Madill is to build west
ward through what is known as the
Mcmillan country, TO u point near the
county line.
1t might be suggested that the COM
missioners of Carter county would do
well TO look into this territory with
a view of extending their road-build-
ing activities in that direction. A road
built from Ardmore to connect with
the road building from Madill would
open up large trade territory, would
bring some of the richest agricultural
communities in close touch with the
markets of the city.
This road would not be one to tear
down one community i'm order that
another might be upbuit. 1t would
not enhance the interests Of Ardmore's
business institutions at the expense
of those Of Madill. on the other hand
It would be a joining OF hands, Il un-
iting of efforts, q working together
Of both Ardmore and Madill, with
the ensuant additional development of
both cities.
The road to Berwyn is already in
good shape. Its extension across the
Arbuckle mountains and on through
Turner Falls to Oklahoma City. is a
worthy project as will be the road
to join the Madill road. and will, ul-
timately. be the road from Ardmore
to Marietta.

FINS.

The jury by its verdict has written
"Finis," in the life stories of Jake L.
HaInon and Clara Smith, US those
lives were interwoven for a tenth OF
a century.
The man, bereft of all the glamour
Of wealth, Of all the power Of nation
al political prestidge, shorn Of his
strength, bereft of the spark Of life,
has fallen heir to the narrow plot
of ground, the space Of three feet
wide by six feet long by six feet
deep which the Lord God of Hosts,
early in the days of Time set aside
for each member of the great family
of the children Of men.
King, prince and potentate, pauper
and beggar, reformer and drunkard
queens of virtue and morality, stained
women of the underworld, paragons
of virtue and painted courtesans, all
alike with the end of their earthly ex-
istence fall heir to the same narrow
bed, a bed dug in the bosom Of the
Old Earth, the earth which has seen
the rise and fall of men since Time
began, the earth which has trembled
beneath the footsteps of men of pow
er, which has been soiled by the feet
of debauchees and sanctified by the
kissing footballs of saints
The sun rises in the east, today, sets
in the west, tonight, shines down
upon the human family at midday
with the same undimmed brilliance;
the moon looks forth, peeping from
beneath the yelling curtains Of night,
Just as calmly dispassionate as it did
the day before Jake Hamon died, the
day after he was buried, just as both
will shine upon the ageold world
centuries hence, when none Who live
will remember that a man with mast
er mind arose from the ranks of
mediocrity, reached the zenith Of
wealth and power and passed forth
into that Silly eternal night which
pals about his grave today and which
will obliterate his memory tomorrow.
For a few fleeting days the mem
ory of the dead man was revived as
his deeds and actions were dragged
from the grave and paraded in re-
view before the jury which had been
selected to adjudge the guilt or in
nocence, as they understood it, of
Clara Smith Hamon, the woman al
legged to have fired the shot on the
evening Of that fateful November
day, the shot which echoed from one
confine to the other of this broad land,
the shot which shook from center 10
circumference the social fabric Of one
of the greatest political organizations
in this republic, the shot which
brought q period to the life Of the
man who had developed from an OBJ
scure country lawyer into one Of the
greatest leaders known TO American
politics, the shot which exempified
the plant OF the poet who asked
