Corn
Rokomo Dispatchl

Too much abs been said about
wheat and the ruinous price It brings
the American farmer. It is time to
say something about corn.
The American corn acreage is twice
the wheat acreage. The corn crop is
three or four times as big as the
wheat crop, and usually worth twice
the money. Corn prices, therefore.
are more vital than wheat prices as
an index to agricultural prosperity.

The oil business Is in the same
predtcanent as wheat-badly shot"
by overproduction. Chief cause Is the
California field, expected to produce
275.0O0 900 barrels of oil this year.
The overproduction, however, is
only temporary. Imports from Mex
leo are falling off rapidly. Our coun-
try is consuming crude oil at the rate
Of 5000. 900 barrels a year. This is
100, 900 900 barrels more than in 1929,
and $4,000 900 barrels more than in
1918. Oil stored in pipe lines and tank
farms is enough to run the country
only FIVE months.

OLD DOCUMENTS ARE DISCOVERED IN JAPAN
By Associated Prsss

TOKYO, Jan. 13.-It is reported that Marquis Kokujun Tokugawa has discovered among his heirlooms large stock of old books and other articles relating to Christianity in Japan during its forbidden period in the Tokugawa era. These will be donated to the Museum of Tokio and that Of Mito, the native city of the marquis. The books will be placed at the disposal of the students of Christian history in Japan.
 Since the time of the third Shogun there had been in the Tokugawa treasures series of large boxes known as "ever- closed cabinets" The present marquis, upon deciding to open them. was surprised to find number of books and personal ef- fects that included copies of the Bible written in Japanese kama and representing the original sounds of foreign language, while the dresses were those worn by Japanese Chris tians at the time of the Amakusa Christian rebellion.
 Up to now relics of the Christian era In Japan consisted of paving stones engraved with a cross upon which Christians were forced to walk, rosaries and statues of the Madonna and Child under the form of Kwanon, Goddess of Mercy, hold ing child Ato avoid detection. These are found chiefly in southern Japan where Christian villages also were discovered in remote moun- tains dating from the time of the persecution.
 Presents from the Pope to the Lord of Sendai. who received them upon the occasion of the first Jap anese embassy to Rome, are pre- served in northern Japan.

HARRISON GIVES.
 VIE WS ON ALABAMA.
 CO M ? [ N SA I | ON.
Points Out Many Reasons Why It Should Be Changed. Benefits That Accrue to
 Labor Stressed

City Commissioner William L. Har- rison, who was Instrumental in pas sage of the Alabama workmenss conn pensation law. and who has been an advocate of any measures beneficial to the working man. has issued the following statement regarding the change necessary to place the Ala bama law on a basis in keeping with shat of other progressive states.
 MT. Harrison's statement follows:
 T have been asked by many peo- pie. in view of the legislature now being in session, for some expression and information relative to amend uents and improvements of the present workmen's compensation law that would make it compare favor ably with che present best compen- Bation laws of the country.
 'In the first place I want to point out that practically every state in the Union has now enacted work mems compensation laws, and 1t has become a well recognized and estab- Nshed principle Of adjusting and remedying industrial personal injury cases The history of every work mems compensation law that has been passed in the different states of the Union has been that in the beginning 1t was necessary to estab- lish the principle and lay the basis and foundation that Che law might be built up and perfected as time and experience Justified. There has not been any law of any state that has not come through this process of evolution fn perfecttng and im- proving its provisions. In fact, the most model laws are stifi being im- proved upon as each legislature of those states is held Such is. the case with our present compSnsation law. It was understood by all par ties interested at our last legisla- ture that the provisions of the pres ent law would be amended and i'm proved at this legislature. in such way as to adequately compensate and protect the interest of the in- iured employees and their dependents.
 "The law has been given 8 sub-' stantial trial since its passage. The principle of it has now become un- derstood and is accepted by almost everybody and the time has now ar rived when its provisions should be improved and amended in such a way as to make 1t conform to the most Inouel ConpeuSallon ldWS oI tnc SouH- try There is no sound reason why Alabama should not have and the em- ployes should not enjoy as good a compensation law as any state. It is very gratifying to note that the out going governor has taken cognizance of the present law and has made some very substantial recommendations to the Legislature, which will greatly improve the present act and make 1t more helpful and beneficial to the laboring man and his family of this state. heartily concur in the amend ments that he has suggested. except where he recommends a commissioner to administer the law. In my opinion there should be commission created. This is recommended by compensa- tion law authorities, and I think it the only effective way of administer ing it. This IS the experience of prac-

AN OLD RECIPE
 ID DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark
 and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly, com pounded. brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for ."Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You will get a large bottle of this old time re- cipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this prepara- tion now, because no one can possi- bly, tell that you darkened your hair. as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. --Adv.

tically every other state. I also un- derstand that the present incoming governor, who will have the author ity and power over this Legislature and such amendments and improve ments as may be made to the present act, Is entirely sympathetic toward the Improvement of the present law and the adopting of model compen- sation law. Naturally, of course, the laboring people and the public in general are looking toward Governor Brandon and the present legislature for the improving of this law and the opportunity and responsibility of do- ing this rests upon him and this leg islature.
 "I have been at all times and am now in close touch with the repre- sentatives Of labor in their present efforts to have adopted such amend ments as will further strengthen the law. l have offered and am giving them all the assistance I can in help ing to bring this about I maintain that even the present law, in so far as it's general application to the working man of the state is con- cerned. is very superior to the old order of adjusting industrial personal injury cases. and felt and realized that I, and other labor associates who were active in the passage of a compensation law, that in order to establish the principle and lay the foundation, which as I have said, has beon necessary in all of the states of the union, that We were assuming a big responsibility and one that would naturally entail some criticism and perhaps work some hardships in some cases. This is a responsibility, however. that had to be assumed in adopting such far reaching and pro- gressive principles as are included In the adoption of workmen's com pensation law. It Is gratifying to know that the initial period through which we had to pass Is over, that the principle of a workmen's com pensation law has been successfully demonstrated in this state and we are now on the eve of having this law amended and improved in such fashion by this legislature as will make 1t compare favorbly with the most model workmen's compensation law Of every state in the union.
 T feel proud of the part that l have had in helping to bring 1t about and the general improvement and betterment that will accrue to the workingman and his family and so- ciety in general of this state by reason of it."
