ALL ABOUT HOUND DOGS
Jury Unable To Decide Whether Dogs
 Were Chasing Fox Or Goats

Especial. 1.-Two fox hounds caused a lot of litigation in, county court, which has been held here this week by Judge Oceola Kyle in place of Judge William T. Lowe, who is sick. Evidence before the court showed that two dogs had been shot to death by M. Mckee of near Eva. On 8 criminal charge he was freed. but in a damage suit for $750 against Mckee a mistrial resulted. Nick ee claimed he shot the dogs when they came into his field pursuing his goats, but the owners of the hounds claimed they were after a fox. That was the point that stalled the jury and another jury will be called on to decide the canine dispute.

Wilhelm's Romance
 Has Come to Close

Doorn. Feb. 26.-The honeymoon of William and Hermine has at last C. me to an end, in the opinion of the inhabitants of Doorn The pleas ant walks arm in arm along the sol itary roads of the village, under the protection of a captain of the Dutch gendarmerie, ended abruptly several days ago. The disappearance of the couple from the village streets gave rise to numer us rumors to the ef- feet that the former emperor was seriously ill., or that an attempt had been made upon his life, but inves- 'tigation has failed to show any au- thority for either statement. l For about three weeks it has been reported that deep discord existed between the couple. One eason as signed was that William bore with difficulty the dictatorial tone of his wife who insisted that at the castle everyone, not excluding her hus- band should act and conduct himself according to her ideas. Hence Her mine has been in cons tant hot water, for her attitude was resented New ertheless both Hermine end her daughter were both present at a din- ner given on the occasion of William S anniversary.
 In spite of the evident tension, it is not believed that a rupture is i'm minent. Hermine's children are still living with their old nurse in the building at the entrance to the park, and Hermine occupies her apartment in the chateau not far from that of her husband.
 This fact, however, seems to be established. Since his marriage Will liam has become thinner and appears much older. All who have seen him during the past few days remark how ill he is looking and how feebly he walks.

WEATHER IS CHANGING
Parts of Arctic Region Growing
 Warmer, Others Colder.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Arctic regions seem to be warming up in cer- tan portions and growing colder in others, and as these conditions affect weather all over the earth, experts of the Weather Bureau are trying to sclve the mystery
 In the Greenland sea, north of Flu rope, milder weather and less ice than ever before has prevailed this winter, while in the Boring sea and in the re- gions north of America unusually heavy ice has been reported The cause of the unusual conditions &nas not been fathomed by meteorologists.
 The gulf stream, which circles a. round the Gulf of Mexico, passes through the straits of Florida and sweeps noreastern across the At lantic ocean and between Iceland and Norway, has been traced by one ocean, ographic expedition as warm sur face current beyond the S1st parallel of latitude, which would be some 2,500 miles north of Hammorfest, Norway This expedition sailed as far north as S1 degrees, 29 minutes in ice free wat CTS.
 Arctic ice conditions are said to be exceptional in this particular region and many old landmarks are so chang ed as to be unrecognizable Where formerly great masses of ice were found there are now often accumula- tions of earth and stones. At many points wherc glaciers formerly extend ed far into the sea about the island of Spitzbergen, 2,000 miles north of Norway, they have entirely disappear ed.

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea md Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair. to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful eff feet.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store fer bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old preparation, im- proved by the addition of other ingre- dients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 Well-known druggists say it darkens the hair 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 your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, 1t becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

ANTI-WEEVIL ZONE URGED
Scientist Says Pest Can Be Eliminated
 for S:lilil Gifn lNn

Birmingham. Ala Feb. 24-Elimina. tion of the boil weevil by zoning the cotton growing area for a period o
 five years can be accomplished with al
 expenditure of approximately $500.
 000,000, Dr. Hudson Maxim, noted sci
 enlist and inventor, said today, in ar address before the Alabama Technical Society.
 Dr. Maxims plan provides for the dividing of the South into zones begin ming at the Atlantic coast The first year no cotton would be grown in | section extending from the coast 300 miles westward. The following year the 3OO-mile zone would be extended 15O miles further to the west, thereby overlapping an area 150 miles in width. This work would continue until the cotton section of the country had been covered.
 ~ T understand" said Mr. Maxim that the boil weevil subsists on noth- AhS OaC thC SoItOH pIGll HIS DeI4lS true, it could be starved out of exi1t- ence."
 But MT. Maxim was asked what about the poor farmer who must raise cotton or starve. What would become of him? Pay him." the scientist shouted, Let the government appro- priate $100,0O0,00O year to carry on the work of zoni1g and to reimburse the farmers for their losses
 A proposition for the formation of a Congressional Consulting Committee consisting of about "A eminent scieh, lists, inventors and business men, was suggested by MT. Maxim. This com mittee would be, he said, the super committee of Congress, and would suggest necessary and ap- legislation.
 this plan to Congress or the War De- partment upon his visit to Washington,
 While he will not officially present the scientist declared he would talk it over with friends in order to benefit by their suggestions.
