SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore Color, Gloss
 and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will get large bottle of this famous old recipe, im- proved by the addition of other in- gradients, at a small cost.
 Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does 1t sv naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and youthful appearance. It is not in- tended for the cure. mitigation or pre- vention of disease.

HEAR METHODIST BISHOPS
Pulpits of Various Churches Occupied
 by Visiting Pre!ateS.

Hot Springs, May 7.-Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, filled all the pulpist of the city this morning and tonight, there being no general assembly of the conference now in session here. The organiza- tion of the various committees of the conference, and their ability to begin making reports at any time from now on, the most serious issue before the conference, indicates that Monday will begin the marking of time on the part of this legislature of the church.
 The most important subjects to come up on committee reports are on the unification of the churches, the further recognition of women in the higher circles, and the filling of the vacancies among the ranks of the bishops. More than ever in the his tory of the church, it is said, the pro- paganda methods of modern days are being employed from "back home,' ' and the delegates are being lombard ed by letters and telegrams to support this or that applicant for places in the College of Bishops.
 It has not been determined yet as to how many vacancies will exist, some of the conference members asserting that legislation will provide for at least dozen to be elected, while oth- CTS will contend that only the vacan- cies by death of superannunation be filled.
 It is likely that there will be bishops elected and delegated with authority in certain foreign fields. This has been recommended from the College of Bishops in the episcopal address.

Demon Was CuttIef7sh.

For many centuries Norway has had its legends telling frightful deeds of the kraken, great and mysterious marine creature that was danger to sailors on the high Seas. Now scientists have found that the locali- ties in which these folk-tales flourish are the habitat of giant squids or "cut- tlefish," of the genus Archlteuthus, that have frequently been cast up upon sea beaches. According to Dr. James Ritchie of the Royal Scottish museum, the largest of these on rec ord had tentacles with a span close to 80 feet. It was nine feet nine inches long from the tip of it's tall to to tip of its short arms, but its tenta- cular arms were each IA feet long, New York Evening Post.

How to Raise Cotton Under
 Boil Weevil Conditions

CThis method is guaranteed.)
 1-Prepare your land in October by blowing it up with dynamite.
 2-Lay it off in rows 12 feet apart and plant your cotton in December.
 3-When your cotton comes up thin it to one stalk in hill 23 feet apart.
 4-Spray each stalk twice a day with Hoyt's German cologne.
 5-Cover your cotton with mosquito netting when 2 weeks old, this netting should be stretched over poultry wire.
 6-Spread tanglefoot between all of your cotton rows, and replace it every day.
 Burn off all the nearby woods, cut down dead trees and burn them,
 8-Dust the following mixture on your cotton twice day-Epsom salts, calomel, cream of wheat and the white of an egg.
 9-Have two hired hands for every acre in cultivation. Furnish with barber's tweezers to be used in pinch ing the heads off of any boil weevils which show up.
 10-Mortgage your farm and buy nj trate of soda and spread plentifully around the roots of, the cotton.
 Tiff any of the bolls should get punctured have the place vulcanizcd at once. Any good automobile man can do this for you.
 12-Begin picking your cotton in February and try to have it all ginned and sold by March 18th, and this will enable you to go to work and grow corn, peas, potatoes and hogs for your own consumption. This kind of con- sumption does not need the services of a doctor.
 Pay your preacher. Trade for cash Settle your old debts and live happy ever after.

Arkansas Favored By
 Magazine Writers

Little Rock, May S.-In view of the unfavorable publicity which Arkansas has received in certain New York pub ] lications, it is gratifying to see the ] favorable recognition given the state | in such periodicals as The Outlook. Now comes The Banker and Financier | recognized as the foremost financial publication of the country, which in a recent issue publishes as it's leading article a paper on Directors Who Don't Direct" This paper was writ ten by F. Lee Major, Assistant State Bank Commissioner of Arkansas. Edi- torial reference is made to the article 1 tors and officers of banks all over the United States may read it with profit" , MT. Majors paper is also made the subject of the leading editorial in that issue. Attention is called to the re- responsibilities of bank directors and the 1 fact that they are frequently neglected l Ol u otCu WILL lHulilcl citc. oIlly " ltIl- l in recent years has the extent and na- ] ture of these possibilities been real i ized.
 i "The Banker and Financier" pays the Arkansas plan the following com- pliment:
 "A significant and most effective 1 ,of1 1<N1 npJ JN,,s, rsvNr hot torial methods has been adopted by the State Banking Department of Arkan- sas The plan involves the co-opera- ton of the Bankers Association of Arkansas, in the establishment of a directors section of the organization. This section means just what the title implies. In the group meetings of the association as many bank directors as possible are brought together for a conference with the state bank con- missioner and his executives. The di- rectors are told some of their duties and they listen to an address deliver ed by one of the officials present.
 "In this issue We publish the sum- mary of these addresses, delivered by F. Lee Major, assistant state bank commissioner, before the spring group meetings in Arkansas. In comprehen- sive manner it tells directors a few facts that they should keep in mind when they go to board meetings. The matter is so good that it applies not alone to Arkansas, but to every other state in the Union.
 Bankers Associations have done much to improve and elevate the stand ard of the banking business in the past few years, but it is doubtful if they can undertake any work more valuable than that described above. It is to be hoped that the Arkansas idea will become general. Twelve state bank ing conventions are to be held during the month of May and twelve more in June. Regardless of what other sub jects may have been selected to form the programs, discussion of the Ar kansas idea might we'll be given prom inent place in the proceedings"

DYKE FAILS; TOWN FLOODED
Break in Levee Completes the Inunda-
 tion of Jonesville. La.

Natchez, Miss, May S.-The levee protecting the old portion of Jones' vile, La., about two-thirds of the town broke today. The new section, out side the levee was already flooded. Water is from two to four feet deep in the streets of the town. Jones' vile is in Catahoula parish on Black river, and has about 1,500 inhabitants.
 Following the crevasse above Fer riday, La, hard fight was made at Jonesville to build up the private le- ivee protecting the main portion of the town ahead of the rising waters, which have been coming up at the rate of four inches a day. Sacks and flood fighting material were rushed from Rhinehart, and every available man was put to work. Residents of the town had been apprehcnsive for sev- eral days that the dike could not be held.
 Arrangements have been made to send a steamboat with supplies suffi- cient to last for two weeks to the 429 refugees marooned at Artonish, Miss, by c. F. Patterson, chairman of the Wilkinson County Flood Relief Con- mittee, with headquarters in Natchez. The camp will be in charge of Roy Coulter of Blackhawk. When a sur- vey of conditions was made at Arton- ish it was found that immediate relief was essential.
 Rations have been distributed to ap- proximately 5000 people from the barge sent to Ferriday La., to give aid to the people in the immediate vicinity of the crevasse.
 B. c. Brown, president of the Con- Ncordia Parish Police Jury left tonight [ for Baton Rouge, to make an urgent appeal in behalf of the flood sufferers in other sections of the parish and al- so for the lower part of Tensas par ish.
 Practically all the people who are. willing to leave their homes have been taken out of the area inundated by the Weecama crevasse.
 The Mississippi river is still on stand here, at stage of 53 feet. The gap in the levee caused by the cre- vase has not widened to any great extent for several days, and the swift ness of the current going through has decreased greatly.
 At Ferriday and other points in Con- cordia parish the rise of backwater has decreased to about one tenth of foot day.
 Joseph C. Logan, assistant manager of the Southern Division of the Red Cross, says that there are now in Mis- sissippi and Louisiana not less than 10000 persons who are homeless on account of the Mississippi river flood, and that he regards national appeal for assistance as essential.
