AUTO Thee
RING AT VEf,EN

One of the biggest auto theft rings
operating in the state has been un.
earthed at Veblen, Marshall County,
where automobile thieves sold %
stolen Ford cars.
Secret service men made n trip to
Veblen last week and began an inves :
CATION regarding the selling Of new
Fords, coupes, sedans and touring
cars. 1t is alleged by the secret SER
vice men that a good many of the
cars had been stolen and driven to
that town where thy were sold by tho
two men running the garage. Both

to Aberdeen with his prisoner on the
evening passenger.
All of the cars located by the
agents were i'm the hands of innocent
owners, who will not be prosecuted
according to information, as they
bought the ears in good faith from
the men claiming ownership. Most
of the cars, ii is said, were sold for
a very low price. lower than a regu
lar dealer could sell them for. Most
of the cars were practically new, the
tires being worn but very little. 1t
is thought that the headquarters OF

located at Sioux Falls. However. this

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe TO
Bring Back Color and.
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hum
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents at a small cost, all ready for use.
It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound This can always be de-
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and fustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens SO naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell It has been applied
You simply danapen a sponge or soft
brush with If and draw this Through

The British and Greeks there are turn

valuable than the paper franc. The
English call this unreasonable" but
the French reply that the pound ster-
ling Is nearly normal, so the English
bondhOlders will be paid almost on q

leave this matter out of the peace

later by negotiations. The Turks are

delegates at Lausanne have been In

if he couldn't have been more success
full at something else.
During the past year more than
900 children committed suicide in this
country. This is almost twice the
number recorded in 1919. What more
serious indictment is to be brought
against our present day civilization?
What are the causes for this shock
ing increase in self-destruction among
those who have life before them?
Who is to blame?
Grown-ups look upon the trials of
childhood lightly. They are seen
much as manifestations of puppy love,
but when they take such toll it is
time that their elders take stock of
themselves and study the conditions
which provoke such tragic reaction to
the facts of life. The home environ
ment is not infrequently responsible
for the distorted views which these
young people hold. All too often the
parents are unable to reconcile them
selves to the ways of youth. What
ever the mental disorder suffered by
these unfortunates, the conditions
which bring it about are seldom of
their making. It is a responsibility
of parenthood to aid the young in
meeting the crises which come into
their lives. All who have a part in
their training should so educate them
that they will be able to meet brave
ly the unpleasant things of life and
to avoid the emotional excuses which
lead to tragedy.
The plea of distraught parents that
they did not know their offspring
was suffering or distressed is often
only a confession Of neglect and at
best an admission of failure to I'M
derstand their own flesh and blood
That the fears which drive them to
suicide are not infrequently baseless
and the result of threats and iutinid-
atoms voiced with the idea Of improv-
ing their department, makes the stu
alton the more pathetic.

DRESIDENT HARDING has repeat
L eddy disclaimed that his speeches
OF his trip through the West and to
Alaska are designed as campaign mate
rial, but 1t is probable that the gist of
most of them will be found In the next
Republican national platform. After
his address on American membership
in the world court, In which he sug-
gested divOrcing the court from the
League of Nations by making 1t prac-
tically self-perpetuatlng, he told the
farmers of Kansas what the national
government has done to rescue Amer
lean agriculture from the depression
that came with deflation In 1920. Incl

well as by the federal government. He
denounced the action Of the "new null
Ilihcationists" who have repealed or
tried to repeal the prohibition enforce
lment acts OF various states, referring
especially to New York and Governor
Smith. OF this he said:
Instead Of being an assertion OF

And this was his warning to the
"nulli6cationists": "If the burden Cd
