So it means a great deal for this store to have the seal of the peoples’ approval —an increasing business for more than 20 years. An increasing business, because THE PEOPLE want the best for the least money—they want fit as well as wear—right now more than ever this store is giving it to them. k Ask THE PEOPLE—they’ll tell you.

I The car is the finest in the city, and , , one of the neatest in the entire state. t The exterior finish is in black, and . ! the panels ornaments and glass work t larestrarranged that it is a-very freauti- .! ful. The interior is of mahogany fin- ' isli, and is electrically lighted. A flower carrier is arranged in the top I . which can lie lowered and again swung into place after the flowers i have been placed, and then entirely curtained from the rest of the car. Another feature is that the body sits much lower on the chasis than . most funeral cars, making it much easier to get a casket into the car. j When coming through Richmond yesi terday, Mr. Yager called on a friend there, who examined the new' c'ar, and : was so much pleased with it that he stated ho would place an order at ’ once for an exact duplicate.

(Copy for This Department Supplied by ' the American Lejlon News Service.) RANCH FOR EX-SERVICE MEN Founder of National Loyalty League Extend* Invitation to Legionnaire* to Vl*it Hl* Playground. Col. R. P. Dickerson, founder and national commander of the National Loyalty League, f attended the recent convention of the American Legton at Kansas City and extended an invitation to Legionnaires to bls ranch near Springfield, Mo., where they can “ride, romp, flsh and hunt." “I am going to turn the ranch into a playground for ex-service men,” declared Colonel Dickerson. The ranch is known as the FiveBar Mule ranch and is probably the largest in Missouri. Since the war the ranch has been muleless and the owner has had cottages built for the accommodation of his ex-service men friends. Colonel Dickerson is a veteran of the Spanish-American war. When the United States entered the World war lie organized a regiment of cowboys. 1 prize fighters and sporting men and offered their services to the War department. Later he organized the National Loyalty league which cooperated with other patriotic organizations in promoting loyalty through educational propaganda. LOSS OF THE NAVAL RESERVE Personnel of Force Ha* Shrunk in Last Few Weeks from 230,000 to Nothing. Experts disagree as to the possibility of a “next war.” but they agree absolutely that if the “next war” does ceme, it is likely to be on the seas and in the air. We are warned that we must have adequate naval and air forces. We must have adequate reserves. Yet in spite of these warnings, the paid personnel of the naval reserve force has shrunk in the last few weeks from 230,000 to nothing. I The naval reserve, in which hun--1 dreds of thousands served faithfully and valiantly during the war, has practically been abolished by congress, wbicli failed to appropriate enough money to pay the meager retainer fees of personnel. The Navy depart- : merit, asserting it had no alternative, discontinued tiie paid reserve. All members were disenrolled, having only an opportunity to join class (5 of the reserve, a class in which personnel Is not paid, no matter how much time may he devoted to drills and maneuvers. Thousands of reserve sailors went on cruises this summer at navy expense, receiving only navy pay and training, which is more valuable to the navy than to the reserves. To disenroll these men is to waste their summer’s work, yet they have been disenrolled. Toward the close of the World war, thousands of men joined the naval rei serve who were trained after the Armj istfee. All that training seems lost Ito the navy. Many reserves recently “shipped over" after expiration of their enrollment. Good intentions have not been considered. The navy appreciates the reserve force. The reserves appreciate that the navy needs them. Only congress seems unaware that there is in time of war a need for trained sailors outside our permanent forces. —American Legion Weekly.

LADIES! DARKEN I YOUR GRAY HAIR Look year* younger! Use Grandmother’s recipe of Sago Tea and Sulphur and nobody will know. Thu use of Sago and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that, dull, faded or streaked appear anco, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound", you will get this famous old prepara tion, improved by the addition of other ingredients, whicli can be de pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the halt so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell ft has been applied You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. — ■ ■ -• John Shirk, employe at the Teeple & Peterson Clothing store, went to Monroe this afternoon to attend the funeral of Raymond Keller. The boys were in the same graduating class.
