The hottest "wet and dry" election ever held in the north part of Indiana ■ was the one held in Huntington today after a month’s campaign that has stirred that city from center to circumference. Columns of newspaper space was used, and the liquor question was the chief subject of conversation in home, lodge, church, store, on the street and every place that two or more people met. The result will be watched for with interest. Jesse L. Carmichael, of Mouncie, for years a Washington correspondent, and one of Indiana's best known yonug newspaper men, died Saturday after a short illness from pneumonia. His Body was brought back to Indi|i ana today, accompanied by a number , of the greatest newspaper and maga- ; zine writers of the day. President ' Wilson, who held the young writer in ,' high esteem, sent a floral emblem. At ' the National Press club rooms in Washington, James Hay, jr., posted a poem to the deceased, the first para- '< i graph of which read: "Closer now j than ever before to the perfumed gardens that the angels keep, he has upon his bier flowers that are the pale reflection of the lovlier blooms ae, planted in our hearts —hearts he taught to smile." — Program Arr?nged . ’ (Continued from Page 1) parade, sls; for second largest uniformed company In parade, $lO.

While the waves were swishing l around the presses of the New Harmony Times, the editor occupied his enforced leisure moments by indicting the following gem descriptive of the flood. A careful reading will disclose a faint resemblance in rhyme and meter to the state song: 'Round my Indiana home the waves are creeping And the waters rising to the second floor; Through the orchard grove the rampant flood is sweeping. Father’s curising southward on the kitchen floor. And the schoolhouse where I learned to dictate fiction Floated by an hour ago upon the tide. Would I had the Tarkington command of diction To depict the raging Wabash, ocean wide.

CHORUS. Oh, the flood is high tonight along the 1 Wabash, And the water's killed the corn and wheat and hay; Through the sycamore the cattle flock are floating. On the banks of the Wabash, far away. o COURT HOUSE NEWS. UONTQWtfrt m)M PAGE ONTO distribute one-third to the administratrix of the estate of W. W. P.

HAIR TURNING GRAY OR FALL-ING-JUST MIX SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR. It’s Grandmother’s Recipe for Dandruff and Restoring Color to Hair. Almost every one knows that Sage (Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-! ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also cures dandruff, itching I scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago i the only way to get this mixture was Ito make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays skilled chemists do this better than ourselves. By asking at , any drug store for the read-to-use prodjuct —called "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy”—you will get a I large bottle for about 50 cents. Somedruggists make their own but it's ns- , ually too sticky, so insist upon getting “Wyeth's” which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is the best remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish, Itchy scalp and to stop falling hair. Folks like "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur” because no one can positively tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly, says a well known down-town druggist You a sponge or soft brush and ! draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This requires but a few moments, by moyning the gray hair disappears and after another application or two is restored to its i natural color and looks » even more . beautiful and glossy than ever.
