Prize Winners.
REAL wHIRLWIND FINISH.

The above final standings show the
winners of The Dawson News con-
test but fails to tell all the story of
eight weeks hard work on the part OF
seven workers who stuck to the I'm
ish out of the two hundred and TWEEN
tv-6ye that took part from first to last.
Mrs. H. J. Williams, Of Cordray $
mill. secured Randolph and Terrell
counties. She worked Systematically,
taking She1lman house by house and
then working each road out OF Shell
man and stopping at each house. She
worked each town and road in the
county that way. And this got results.
Besides winning the 81 ,OZO Buick car
she won $40 in cash prizes.
Mrs. ]. .. Russell, of Dawson and
her husband and family were hit with
the flu" which has so many people IN
its grip, and lost the last weeks work,
and this was a disastrous loss OF time.
Mrs. Russell won the $3.50 bedroom
suite and captured $50 in cash prizes
during the race.
Mrs Mamie Hannah, of Herod, en-
tered late, but certainly made every
possible effort to win after she did
start. She won the $500 Edison and a
SIS cash prize.
Miss Mildred Yeomans won SIS in
cash prizes during the race.
There was a great deal of interest
manifested from start to finish, cul-
minating in a high pitch OF excitement
at the close.
In spite of the bad weather Satur-
dav night a large number Of people
waited for the final returns. The auto
mobile was awarded following the
final count, and Mrs. Williams took
her coveted prize and went home
with the bacon" The other prizes
were delivered Monday, and today
checks for 10 per cent commission
were mailed to the candidates sticking
to the finish and failing to win prize
in the race.
The contest was a great success
Clearly conducted, and the final count
was painstakingly made by the judges
They checked and re-checked the votes
from start to finish, making three
counts. The Dawson News wishes tc
thank the judges, the contestants and
the general public, all of whom helped
to make the campaign the success il
was. The Dawson Buick Company
and the Durham Furniture Company
store are due our thanks for displaying
the prizes during the several weeks OF
the campaign.

BATTLE OF POWERS AT
LAUSANNE is NOW ON
PEACE FARLEY RESULTS IN
ALLIED FIGHT FOR CONCES-
SIONS. HEED AMERICA.

The battle of the world powers for
shares in the prize OF the Near East,
the rich oil fields of Asia Minor, is
now on at Lausanne, Switzerland,
where the Turks and allies are meet
ing in a peace conference. The crucial
point of the parley hinges on the con-
sideration OF Turkeys southern Asiat-
ic frontiers, involving the Anglo
French mandates in Mesopotamia and
Syria. This opens the entire question
of oil fields in Asia Minor.
All efforts to exclude the discussion
of Mosul, a territory rich in oil, over
which Great Britain holds a mandate,
from the Lausanne parley, have failed
chiefly because of the insistence OF the
United States, through Richard W.
Child ambassador to Italy and Amer
lean observer at Lausanne, on the
''open door" to all nations in Asia
Minor, and the declaration of the
American government that secret oil
treaties would not be recognized.
Turks Demand Plurns.
The determination of the Turkish
naticnalists to use Mosul as a club to
force recognition OF other claims has
also had a big effect on the parley.
Ismet Pasha Kemalist representative,
is able to take advantage of the situa-
ton because Of the keen rivalry Of
the powers for commercial concessions
in connection with the oil fields, the
richest in the world.
Although the Turks have made no
exorbitant demands along political
lines, it is believed they plan to go
the limit in their demands concerning
the commercial plums in the Near
East. The allies say the American de
mand plays into the hands of the
Turks, and this further complexities
the situation. The Turks interpret the
American declaration as adding to
their demand for abolition OF capitu-
lations, inasmuch as it is upon these
that special privileges for foreign ma
tons are based.
Premier Poincare, of France, is not
adverse TO reopening the Mosul ques
ton, inasmuch as the French claim
that Britain received the lions share
at the San Reno conference. Both
Britain and France are plainly wor-
ried because it may mean the invali-
dation OF the concessions already
granted.
The American intervention is
thought by some to be a blow at Eng
land, as the British are said to have
felt that they had the oil fields in their
grasp by the Mesopotamia mandate.

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
lifeless, is caused by 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 who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive,
use only this oldtime 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
Sulphur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell it has been
applied. You Just 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 dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that, besides beautifully dark
ening the hair after few applications,
it also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance of abundance.

DAWSON PULPITS OCCUPIED
BY VISITING MINISTERS
Rev. ]. c. Moore Preached for Bap-
lists and Rev. Smith for Methodists.

In the absence OF the pastor, Rev.
Is. F. Lowe, who has been confined
TO his home for the past several days
on account of continued illness in his
family, the pulpit OF the Dawson Bap-
fist church was filled last Sunday by
Rev. ]. c. Moore, pastor OF the Bron-
wood Baptist church. Both morning
and evening services were well attend
ed by appreciative audiences. Rev. Mr..
Moore used as a text for the morning
hour Mathew SIS, Blessed are the
pure in heart for they shall see God, i"
from which he preached splendid
sermon. "Ye are the light OF the
world" Mathew 5:16, was the basis
of the message of the evening hour
The speaker brought out very clearly
and forcefully the truth that God eX-
poets his followers to help light up
the world by rejecting the true light.
