YOUR BELIEF

You r constantly confronted
with the question. What is the mat
ter with political parties, churches
ard individually
= matters little how many an
swefs you give to the question. you
Will be compelled to recognize This
fundamental answer, namely The
serious defect today is the lack Of
a deep, abiding, controlling, dyna-
mic belief, ''as a man thinks, as a
mar believes, so is he"
You haven't any political parties
today, because the only politics we
nave In America is the politics of
n ms" and the politics Of the
outs"
Where is the man who believes
more in the constitution than he be-
neves in anything elsef Where ia
the man who will fight and die to
establish the principle Of representa-
tive government?
The same Is true with the average
church. Men ought to be willing
to fight for their creed, fight for
their belief, teach and practice their
doctrines of orthodoxy and of Der
n righteousness.
The same defect is manifested in
the individual.
Why are SO many young men drift
ingf Because they are not anchored
to a belief. No mar has ever risen
to power and position who hated
Dogma, who spurned doctrine. or
who disbelieved. There Is no Der
manency nor power In unbelief:
there is no greatness, or prestige
or influence in disbelief.
America needs men who believe
In something, who will never yield
to expediency. who will never sur
render TO compromise, and who will
never fall a victim TO the blandish-
ing smiles of Mr.. Adjustment.

100000 A Week for Chewing Gum

The people of the United States spend upwards of one
million dollars a week for their chewing gum, and the habit
is still growing.
The value of the product turned out of the factories of
America is a little more than double that of the pre-war wear
1914, which was the first year the Government condescended to
notice the chewing gum industry.
The girls OF this and other towns, when they sat in the
movies and chewed their gum while their favorite star made
love IN alluring twilight, little dreamed the effect they were
having on the prosperity of their country. Dignifed England
laughed at her, and her "deplorable chewing habit, y but
while the sedate Brnon was consciously in the mood of de-
rlslon he was unconsciously falling by the wayside. The year
1871 saw the British fapper, really the original Of the species,
consuming American gum to the tune of 81, 10000 wholesale
valle. And so the story runs. France in the same year took
s3o3,0oO worth, and other European countries consumed pro-
portlonate quantities. Only the consumption of Germany was
small, the total figure being $3.50. The amount of the capital
invested shows beyond doubt that the habit has come to sta.
perhaps no industry has shown a more remarkable growth
Certalnly no industry presents a more potent argument 70

Path to Public Good Will

Progressive American railroads have come to realize that the
best way to cultivate the good will of the public and to take
Insurance against misunderstanding of railroad problems is to
talk directly to the public through the advertising columns of
the press and especially through the weekly newspapers, which
directly reach travellers and shippers along the railroad line.
They have come to sense the fact that statements made in
authorltahvely signed advertising must be truthful, because the
public can SO easily check up anything that may be misleading.
Following the progressive lead of the Long Island Railroad, this
policy has now been adopted by the rgest railroad system in
the south, the Southern Railway System.
The Southern serves the south" is the well-known slogan Of
this great railroad, with $500 miles of lines extent ing into every
southern state. The Southern recognizes that its own prosperity
IS lnseparably bound up with that of the south, and its pub
lIshed announcements in the advertising columns Of the news
papers, it is expected, will bring the Southern and the commun-
ltles 1t serves closely together.
Unqueshonably, other systems should follow this general plan
OF talking frankly to the public, though there are evidences that
some roads still cling to the Lope of putting special messages
across by means of free publicity. AS a fact, there is nothing so
beneficial, nothing SO honest, as frankly signed, paid advertising,
when the good will of the public is sought.
The Long Island and the Southern are to be congratulated for
their forward vision.

COMB SAGE TEA
 INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its Natural Color and
 Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alco- hol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation im- proved by the addition of other in gredients large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's 8 Sage and Sulphur Con- pound" thus avoiding lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sin full, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, no one can tell, because 1t does it so naturally, so evenly. You must dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another ap- plication or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Advertisement ]

with a population of 150 to 200, which has been augmented by still others arriving on every boat. Sev- erai months before the oil rigs were landed all the ground for several miles from the town had been staked. Drilling is to be done oil the Pearl Creek dome, TIE miles northeast of Kanatak, by the As sociated Oil Company, and the Stand ard Oil Company of California. The Associated Oil Company is equipped with two portable Star rigs and in tends to use local petroleum residue as fuel. The Standard Oil Company
 is equipped with standard rig and the equipment needed for drilling to a depth of 4,000 feet. Power is to be furnished by 75-horsepower gasoline engine.
 Immediately after the arrival of the steamers work was started on a wagon road that must cross two ,O00-foot divides, and by the middle of October this road was little more than half completed. All haul  ing will be done by tractors. It is doubtful whether drilling can be started before the spring of 1923.
 This preparation for drilling in the Cold Bay oil field is by far the most important event in the history of the Alaska petroleum lads since their withdrawal from entry in 1910 and their being thrown open to leas- ing in 1921. Though this preparation was the only definite action takeE in 1922 for drilling in the prospe ctsi though undeveloped Alaska oil lands. plans for such development in other parts of the Territory are under way, and applications for oil permits are still being filed. Test drilling in other regions will quickly follow, if it does not precede, the discovery of an oil pool in the Cold Bay field. Meanwhile. the only oil actually pro- duced in Alaska in 1922 was that ob- tained from the II small wells on the single patented tract in the Ka- talla field These wells are owned by the Chilkat Oil Company. which finds ready local market for it's product in the form of gasoline pro- duced at it's own refinery.
