ASKS VOTE ON ROAD PROJECTS
Taxpay yors' LeagNe Opposes Legisla
 ton Wl;hOut Referendum.

i Little Rock, Jan. 17.-Opposition to
 legislation subjecting taxpayers of /! Pulaski county to assessment and tax ation for any new road building pro- jects, unless the projects shall first have been approved by a majority of the affected taxpayers through ref erendum vote, was expressed in a mo- tion unanimously approved at meet ing of the Executive Committee of the
 Pulaski County Taxpayers Protective League yesterday afternoon.
 Specific mention was made to "any
 proposed legislation" covering the
 building of the Perryville, Baucum and West Twelfth street roads. These
 and any other new projects, it was declared, should be submitted to vote i of the taxpayers who must pay the
 bills.
 "'The Taxpayers League A. c.
 Curtis, it's secretary, said last night, believes it only right and reasonable
 as we'll as democratic, that the citizens who are to finance and pay for these projects should have voice in deter mining what projects they are to pay for. The league also feels that many of the lamendabie complications which have developed in our road-biuldng in Pulaski county could have been avoid nJ if bo to hoI oix n opportunity to pass upon these differ
 ent enterprises at the time the laws
 were enacted"
 The Taxpayers League has a mem bership of between 2,500 and 5000 real estate owners in the county. The league earlier this winter at a con- ference between it's Executive Commit
 tee and the Pulaski county legislative delegation, declared it's opposition to enlargement of the road building pro- gram by fresh projects until the pres ent program has been completed and paid for Many land owners, it was said, now are paying as much annual ly in special improvement as in regu-
 lar taxes in order to carry the burden
 of four major road districts and the
 bridge district, financed by bonds
 which will not be paid out for 20 years.
 The total interest-bearing indebted
 ness for projects already authorized,
 according to the league, amounts to
 $10,000,000, and should not be increas-
 ed except by direct vote of the taxpay- CTS themselves.

DAY OF PRAYER FOR MISSIONS

The annual observance of the Day oi Prayer for Missions will be as usual on the first Friday in Lent, February 16, 1923. Lsat year for the first time Canada joined with the United States in observing the same date. An in creasing number of programs are sold year by year, betokening a growing number of communities which hold services of prayer on that day. In most cases these are interdenomina- tional meetings.
 Plans should be made early so that there may be wide publicity and the date will be reserved. Leaders of women's, young peoples and children's S groups are especially urged to plan their winters programs so that the Day of Prayer for Missions has a prominent place. Speakers should an nounce the date and impress upon women everywhere personal responsi- bility for seeing that the day is observ- ed locally.
 "The Light of the World" Is the theme of the program for this year AS many of the meetings are about two hours in length, the program is plan ned not to take more than that lengtf of time. Some communities hold botf afternoon and evening sessions. II some cities meetings are held in diff ferent sections at the same time il others there is one large gathering centrally located.-Missionar Voice

100000 TRENCH
 TROOPS ARE IN RUhR
Now Hold Extreme Limits of District Named in Treaty-Plan Harsh
 Measures.

| London, Jan. 17.-AnOther stage of | the Frnech progress in the Ruhr was reached today with the announcement | by the French command that military operations have been completed.
 France has put nearly 100000 troops into the Ruhr valley, taking her oc- cupation to the extreme limits, if not beyond of the territory authorized un- der the treaty, and she now is about to compel the German mine owners to produce coal for France and Belgium.
 Il that France actually has accom- plished thus far has been the fall of the mark to more than 80,000 to the pound sterling, or drop of nearly 10000 points within a week.
 The French intend to take possession of the mines tomorrow, and threaten to prosecute the recalcitrant mining magnates. The belief in London is that this will be onl..- t,,iie beginning of the French troubles, and that the bay ON6I Cdl uO S'Sl yIulHS DuI piNh Soe'i'
 Allies Are Watclfui. Much seems to depend on the att.- tude of the Ruhr miners, which still is unknown. The British government continues, to observe a watchful wait ing attitude. Italy's policy is not u~- fined.
 Reports that the Italian government is trying to mediate between France and Germany cannot be confirmed, and it is noteworthy that Germany is delivering or offering to deliver repar- ations coal to Italy, and that the Ger man minister has not been withdrawn from Rome, indicating there is hope in Berlin that Italy may be detached from the Franco-Belgian policy.
 However, there also is a report of possible replacement of the American troops On the Rhine by Italian troops, but this is directly opposed to Premier Mussolinis announcement of his poli- cy at recent cabinet council and possibly may be explained as indca~ tive of some compromise proposals from Italy to France.
 According to the Paris corr ,spond- ents, nothing is known there of Italian mediation.

COMB SAGE TEA
 INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores It's Natural Color and Lustre At Once :

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea, with sulphur and alcoi,pl added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is trouble some. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addition of other ingredients a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding lot 4f muss. ya
 While gray, faded hair is not sinfii, we all desire to retain our youthfufS II pearance and attractiveness. By daf . ening your hair with Wyeth's Sage aud Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, bfy cause it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a 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 application pr two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger.
