THE NEW LEAGUE:— Read what Arthur Brisbane, a sup porter of the Harding administration has to say of the new treaty: "It’s a simple little treaty—just born. Only four can play. England. France, Japan and U. S. A., and the play-ground is the Pacific. "China cannot come in. She never had the gumption to steal or acquire Pacific islands from guileless natives. Taking islands from them is like tak ing candy from a baby. "We, the new big four, have taken the' candy, nearly all of it. And. like gentlemen highwaymen, are trying to agree not to cut each other's throats over the spoils. That is how it would look to one from a civilized planet. “if Germany started, with Russia's help, something against England, the Pacific big sou included—would hold a conference, and decide on measures to be taken. "That, article 2 of the baby league, is the milk in THAT cocoanut. We

We Insure England, Prance and Japan In peaceful enjoyment of what belonged to the natives and they insure Us. "However, the future will tall you just what we have got Into —for there is little doubt that the Republicans who proudly beat Wilson’s league will put through this liUle imitation of their own. "If Russia, Germany and despised China, with German intelligence and military ability directing, should get together it might become interesting. When four nations form a league, sou ten- —others will do the same. "One thing is sure, let peace patriots and taxpayers notice it This league makes it more necessary than ever for us to be prepared for trouble, since the league opens up four wide trouble avenues or, rather, forty. How many international complications could ingeniously be tied up with Pacific island possessions?” The Indiana legislature will convene tomorrow for the special session. Citizens from Putnam county insist there is a “nigger in the wood pile somewhere,” claiming that the reasons given for not locating the reformatory there are all made out of whole cloth and green cheese, that the penal farm gets along very well and that the prison could do so also Just why the delay and expense and the sudden determination of the committee not to do so looks very queer to them and unless "gagged' they propose to say so in the session when the question comes up.

LLS L “ 5'5 Some representative from Grant county proposes to offer a bill for an act to repeal the teacher's pension law when the special session opens tomorrow. A dozen others have pet measures ready and it looks now as though the plan to get the reformatory act through in a day of two and go home may not work Handling a hundred and fifty law makers in an Indiana assembly is a real job now as it always has been. Out of every dollar paid for taxes in Adams county, sixty-eight cents goes for roads and schools, leaving but thirty-two cents for all other government. To reduce taxes therefor to any large extent we must be more economical in these matters. The trouble is that most people don’t want to do that. And soon will begin the income tax grind for many a fellow who doesn't have to pay any tax, nevertheless has to go through all the agonies of making out the various schedules and prove his contentions to the government.

Well-Known Local Druggist Says everybody is using old-time recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur; in the hair. Our grandmother made, up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth’s Sag eand Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just 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; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. Just received a shipment of Ladies Silk Blouses, Beautiful Skirts and Ladies Coats. MRS. M. MOYER 131 No. Bth St.
