Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old FaVorite
Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural color
and 1ustre to the hair when faded,

some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it'll No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears. and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark. glossy and attractive. -

Are you thinking about fall crops?
Have you moved your pasture

stoyed by cutting them at this time.
Every dairy farmer should have
silo. Farmers are more and more be-
ginning to realize the sound reasons
for feeding silage
To be well-fed we are told that 1t is
absolutely necessary that we eat lib
orally of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Yet, we will venture to say that there
are thousands of farms in Arkansas
without gardens and home orchards.
1t is the desire Of every man to be
able to come to his later years with
enough of this worlds goods to lay
aside his chosen tools of livelihood.
Are Arkansas farmers looking ahead
to this end? Following the advice of
your county agents and practicing up
todate methods of farming will carry
you a good way on this road.
No man ever tried to fail.
Experience is the best schoOlmaster
but if you can profit by the experience
of others you may save yourself lot

upon which we all depend.

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

When the tired worker goes into the deep silence of the forest in search of the solitude his nerves cry out for pale green sunlight strained through leafy treetops, rests his eyes and invites his soul to prayer; the smell of loam mystifies his senses like incense of a cathedral. The deeper into the jungle, the greater the silence Life problems seem not so -masterful and insoluble where Time itself lags. In the absence of street traffic even a falling twig makes a racket.
 Is there no priest in so solemn, so churchly an environment? Far off comes the sofest, most delicately melanchOly-sweet call: Pea wee, pe-a-wee, phee-ah-pee." It comes again from another quarter, the woodpewee, dusky spirit of treetop ways, six inches long, brown ish olive above, yellowish veil over dusky gray beneath. Almost, one kneels in obeisance to the call to prayers, but suddenly the bird darts out from the high limbs of a hickory, catches an insect in mid-air and is gone, The cQllectiOn-plate always jars
 But the softly sweet and solemnly romantic call nevertheless interprets the spirit of the woods to those who seek the Silence.

WHEREIN A REFORM IS NEEDED

The promptness with which those ac- cused of murder resort to the plea of in- sanity, and the frequency with which such pleas are successful call strong pub lie attention to the need for some defi- mite legal policy irr- such cases. It has been noted in many cases that many of those who escape the extreme penalty and are assigned to asylums in lieu of prison eventually are pronounced sane and either freed by court decree or else pardoned. The result is that the law has been evaded, the guilty one has es- capped justice, and whatever mental kink or deficiency prompted his first act still remains to react in whatever way it will to future impulse or opportunity. To prevent evasion of this sort, when the cases of alleged insanity are not fully proved, there needs to be some more ef- fective methods than we now possess. Alienists and sanity experts either hon estly disagree, or else, like attorneys, seek to make out the best possible case for the side which retains them. That sit uatioh defeats the law and makes justice a battle of wits rather than of evidence. And in the end that is not justice.

anticipation of revival in world trade unprecedented in commercial annals. It is believed that the depths of commer- cial possibilities have not been plumbed, and that the high tide of trade totals will sweep in more voluminously than ever before. It has been discovered that commerce need not confine itself to the established markets and to the usual lines of trade. It has been discovered that there is trade potential which has never been exploited and which consists in creating demand for certain lines of goods among peoples who have never, before felt the need of them for the reason that they were unaware of their existence. Even the domestic market constantly expands to absorb new and hitherto unknown articles of commerce and manufacture. How much greater opportunity then is there for the develop ment abroad of demand for those arti- cles familiar and now indispensable to us, but of which a large part of the world is ignorant?
 The rehabilitation of Europe paves the way for this new era of commercial ex- pansion, and the United States stands among the foremost of those who are ready and equipped to participate in its opportunities and rewards.

Birmingham HighaUay

It is pleasing to receive from the state highway engineer the assurance that the Bir- mingham-M Montgomery highway should be completed within two years. Those who have believed this highway to be the most important in the state have long looked for ward to the coming of the day when they could go overland from Montgomery to Bir- mingham. They have long hoped that po- litical play would be laid aside by the high way commission and that the highway de- pertinent would go about the serious business of constructing the highway.
 Few persons, save those directly connected with the highway commission, will doubt the statement that politics has prevented the con- struction of the highway up to this time. The highway has been a political issue for four years. For many months the commission could not agree on site for the bridge. When an agreement was reached there came dis pute aObut the location of the roadway through Autauga county. It had been thought this was settled several months ago. In recent weeks another dispute has arisen This involves the sending of the highway through Prattville. The commission this time finds itself in disagreement with the federal bureau of public roads. The federal bureau is opposed to detours. The commission insists on the Prattvile detouF. The great majority of the people who are now inc0nVenienced by the ruts and mud do not feel personal in terest in the controversy. All they. want is the highway. But they do have a lack of confi- dence in the state highway commission. This results from the commissions mansqvers in the past such as the routing of a highway by way of the chairman's home after the federal government had declined to permit the use of federal funds. There is a feeling of great CT confidence in the word of the federal bu- reau of public roads because this bureau has already declined to recommend the detour for the benefit of the chairman and now has de- clined to recommend. the Prattville detour.
 The delay in the construction of the Bir- mingham-MOntgomery highway is a black mark against the record of the highway com mission. This highway would be the most important in the state because it would serve the greatest number of people. It is only fair to give first consideration to the great est number to be served by highway. This the highway commission has failed to do. It is a pity the home of the chairman of the highway commission was not located on the Birmingham highway. = Mont gOmery Journal.
