1t has been discovered, and the
United States agricultural depart
ment is preparing for the first time
to make the announcement, that the
average soil of the great American
Desert can be made to produce plen-
tiful crops of grasses, foliage plants
and if those, then also wheat, corn
and potatoes, without any more water
than is supplied at the present. To
accomplish this result, two things are
essential the ground must be pull
verified Aeeply to r'9'-c a bed for hold
ing the water tina falls in rain, and
the planted surface must be covered
after the sowing of the first croI
with matted straw. Subsequent crop:
will require no straw, for the reason
that the matted roots will keep TIT
dry earth from being blown away

prophets in those days..

THE CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Once upon this Christmas day
Gods glories we extol;
Because we see so much of Christ
in friends and strangers all;
The universal festival that every
heart it cheers
@, may its joys v a through
out the eternal years
Our troubles are forgotten now, in
world of joy we live;
The hand of Fellowship extend, for
true love does forgive.
We greet the individual of every race
and clan;
We only see the God that CLEANS In
the true love of man.
How can we make the Christmas day
the day in every year?
The spirit of truth will teach you how
if you can only hear.
How a we join the fellowship wher,
all nations agree?
Remember, we shall know the trutl
and it shall make you free.
10! for this worldwide Fellowship
with Loves hope ruling there!

big as the United States is" said
a Senator recently, you can't con-.
tinuee to pour the scum OF Europe
into it indefinitely and not in the end
fill it with dregs of humanity"
Congressman Albert johnson, of
Washington, quotes some startling
figures in support of this idea. He
says:
New York City has doubled her
population IN the last few vars. Her
foreign-born population is 34.5 per
cent. A study of the 1920 census
figures made by DIR. Walter Laid
law, executive secretary of the New
York City 1920 census committee
shows that New York City has a for
eign white-stock population as large
as the whole population of Chicago
Detroit and Boston; that the Russian
clement is larger than the population
of Warsaw, and that there are 100.
600 more Italians there than in Ma.
pies. The leading foreign elements
in New York City in 1920, according
to Dr.. Laidlaw, are as follows:
Russians, 994,356; Italians, SO2,
s93; Irish, 637,744; Austrian ant

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and ~lustre.
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeIess, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
TO keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men wile
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this eld-time recipe
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell it has been ap-
piled. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with il and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphaf
Compound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica.
tions, it also brings back the gloss and
lustre and gives it an appearance o
abundance.

"Y." BASKETBALL TEAM TO BIG
TIMBER.

The Y. M. c. A. basketball team
leaves this afternoon for Big Timber
to play the Independents there at 8
p. m. The local "Y." five have been
practicing hard for the last week,
and have developed some very good
team work. Those who will go on the
trip are: Osness and Erath, guards;
Moore, Stacy and Hoffman, forwards;
and Quimby, center. Physical Direc-
tor j. E. Morey accompanies them.
It is fully expected that the Big Tim
Der five will give our boys a hard
run for their money, but it is also
the current opinion that the Y. M.
C. A.. team will live up to its prece-
dents and bring home the bacon. This
trip is the first one of the season and
the entire team is looking forward to
an enjoyable all around time.

men. They are planning upon form
