TELL OF TRIP TO WEST ■ ■ i Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Olweln, Os Kirkland Township, Send Letter To The Democrat Following is a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Olwein, formerly of Kirkland township, who recently went to Pasadena, California. Pasadenn, Calif.. Dec. 21, 1922 To The Daily DeDocrat: ■ Left Decatur al 2 o’clock in, the afternoon of tlie 17 of December; snow had fallen to a depth of three inches and when we arrived at Huntington, Indiana we saw the boys and girls coasting and it reminded mo of the old days when I was young. Arrived at Chicago at 6:30 anil left at 8:10 hud a good night's rest and the very best of accommodations, for which we can thank our old friend Mr. Teeple. Arrived in Missouri sometime next morning, going thru Illinois during the night, and the country suits us fairly well. It is 6 below zero were this morning, some of the people almost froze in bed but we put our coats on our bed and that heelped us out some. People arose and dressed themselves and sat on their beds that was the last night though, that anyone was too cold. One thing here that we miss is they do not have nice big buildings like in Ind. Well, the women don't have much trouble keeping their houses clean. Arrived at Kansas City 9:25; left at 10:30. After leaving Kansas City that land is very broken and stony. Saw several quarrys. Just now we are at a little town called Craig, with the ville off, see? Cannot see the town for houses. Next stop is Emporia, Kansas: seems to boa very prosperous country and busy town. The sun is shining brightly now and the snow all gone and looks beautiful outside. They arc just now husking corn. We are | now nearing Elmdale, Kansas, and I never saw so many stones as there are around here. Their fences are all built out of stone; do not see any -other kind. They just build the feme around the farm; do not have fences through their farms, and they just turn their horses in on the wheat and pasture. Don't see much stock as we go along yet. We are now nearing Florence, Kansas; it is 3 o’clock p.m., and we counted 55 oil derricks on about 1000 acres of land, looks like a town. The corn looks good through here. They raise a great deal of Kaffer corn and alfalfa. They raise cattlq here, ami they are beauties, too. 'They are the Hereford cattle. Kansas ! is a great wheat country and they just 1 thresh out in the field and then farm | 'around the stacks; they do not need| to hunt for ground to farm here. We. rare stopping in Newton. Kansas, looks! like a good-sized town. Cannot tell I I i much about it by going through. A •I beautiful country here, then when we first got into the state. !> Our naxt stop was Hutchison, Kanrsas. A big place and very nice counI try around it;it is on the Arkansas I River and Cow Creek, a most imporI taut wholesale point, several large sait Land soda ash plants and strawboard r works. The salt beds are found 800 j I feet below surface and fresh water j I is forced down through pipes and brine I I thus formed is pumped to surface and I i evaporated. Average production of I I salt is 2000 barrels per day. Total pro- 1 r duction of salt in Kansas is 375.000 I; tons annually, valued at >BOO,OOO. II Largo vegetable green houses and I fruit packing houses;center of Kansas , wheat belt, with extensive flour mills.

large Fred Harvey hotel. These eat- ■ ing houses are stationed from here on *1 to Los Angeles. It is night now. We I pass through Colorado through the I .night and arrive in New Mexico next morning. The area of the state is 122,634 square miles; the altitude of tlie northern part is 6.500, in the ecu-1 ter 5,000, and in the south 4,000. The! altitude did not effect us very much. I We were in New Mexico one and onehalf days and one night, and about all we saw were mountains or desert lands. Oh! the works, the full works of God. One must see to realize. We went miles and miles where the mountains wore higher than we could see from our car, straight up. and I do not see how people live there but they tel! us they live off the railroad; but the people that live there are Indians, Japs and Mexicans. Saw the Indiana women at their work with their papooses tied on their backs, looked strange to us, the women came out and want to) sell us their trinkets they make, but I they ask two prices and so we did not buy; even the babies on their , mother's hack hold up a little top and , say something. Can't understand what our next stop is. Gcllup, this is the most extensive coal mining district in western N. Mexico. In 1020 the output was 885,561) tons. This place is Saute Fc headquarters monthly pay roll for all industries about $267,000 on Najtional old trails of highway to coast. ■ J The people here own largo flocks of • ,'shoep and large herds of cattle.

turquoise. The Indian's trading stores aro very interesting. Our next stop Is Arizona. The Pania Fr railway operates 812 fniles of track in north-central Arizona. A branch extends from the main line at Williams to Grand Canyon. A large crowd on ottr train took that trip but we were anxious to arrive nt our destination, so did not go. The area of Arizona is 112,956 square miles. The altitude varies from 100 feet to 13,000 feet above sea level. Within its borders, every zone, save th 1 humid tropics is represented, making a remarkable variety of climate conditions. There are 7.500 irrigated farms, comprising 325,000 acres. Tile Salt River U. S. reclaiination project cost $11,771,000 and water 200,000 acres. Many of the mountains are extinct volcanoes. The San Francisco peaks, of which the Santa Fe passengers obtain an exceptionally tine vi< w. are all eruptive cones. Arizona is the ‘'wonderland” of America, noted for its prehistoric ruins. Indian Pueblos, painted desert, petrified rock, through which we rode for hours; and bluffs on each side of ’the car to such an immense height that one could not see the top. Here are found the cactus family, from the fish hook cactus to the giant that reaches from 40 to 50 feet high. Oh, it is wonderful. The ostrich is conspicious in the big stock raising inter ests of the state. Citrus fruits, sugarbeats, cotton, alfalfa reach perfection in certain sections. Arizona copper mines are among the richest in the world. There are many gold and silver miles in quarries of onyx and marble. The Indian reservation comprises 17,586,000 acres, occupied by 41,505 Indians. Our next stop is Williams, Arizona, This is ji stock-raising, mining and lumbering country. Big Williams mountain, on which is buried a noted Indian scout. This mountain rises to the height of 9,642 feet. Tool and horse trial to the summit. Coleman I>ake 8 miles north, summer resort in mountains and good fishing. Lions, bears and wild eats are also found in mountains. Sycamor Canyon, 20 miles north offered excellent hunting for deer, antelope and wild turkey. This canyon is 3,000 feet deep and 3 to 5 miles wide. Arrive in California after crossing the Colorado River at Parker and Needles. The Sante Fe railway enters California from Berstown: one main line extends through Canyon Pass to San Bernard, tv Los Angeles and San Diego, with many .tributary branches. California 's the I second largest state in the Union. The |coast line is more than 900 miles i long. Two mountain ranges, the Sier:ra Nevada and Coast Range starting at Mount Shasta and uniting again in the southern part of tile state, enclose a valley of emperial extent —the San Joaquin. The Yosemite valley owes much of its peculiar beauty to erosive action of glaciers. The redwood and big trees of the sta e frequently are from 300 to 500 feet high and 25 to 35 feet in diameter: their ages are estimated from 2000 to 5000 | years. Our next stop was />ur dest'uation — j Pasadena, altitude 829, population 55,000; ideal homes; city at foot of Sierjrn Navada mountains; 158 miles of .paved streets. California Institute of Technology; Occidental College' Polytechnic high school, and 27 public schools; 56 churches; winter resort. Hotels arc: Rayond, Green. Huntington, Maryland. Vista del Erroyo;, last two open all year. Busche’s sunken garden,, within few b! > :ks of Sar.te Fe station. Pasadena Rose Tournament on New Years day is of National interest and they sure are tine We v. to '.hat ami they werp one and ! one-half hours going by. Carnegie I solar observatory on Mt. Wilson reached by auto. We can see that, every time we step out of the house if we look at the Mt. Mt. Lowe trolley trip starts here. Oh, I cannot describe the beauties that are to be seen, one must sec to realize them and yet old Indiana is good enough for me. Los Angeles has 576,673 population. It was founded Sept. 4, 1781 as a city of the Angels, but I have not seen any angels there yet. 50 years after founding the population was 770. Well, as 1 am getting tired, will close later, if this is not thrown in the waste basket. Put in the paper such as you see fit. Hut please put some of it in. This is the 18th of January and the sun shin,ing like in June at home. Mr. DI win is working in tlie grove every day and talks as loud as ever and enjoys himself to the utmost. Hoping this will iind all the Democrat readers all well. From your well-wishing friends, Ml!, and MRS. JACOB OLWJN ■ 0 TAXEB IN WABASH Wabash. Iml., Jan- 24 —The net value of taxable properly in Wabash is $55,825,125 and taxes to be collected this year amount to $382,208. An unusual situation is disclosed iu the annual abstract, which shows that delinquent taxes total $65,693,

Field Goals | Civil war prevailed in Fort Wayno last night when the eagers from South Side and Central high schools met in the new South Side gym to struggle for suppremacy. Two overtime periods were played and South Side finally won, 26 to 22. The argument is ended now. The Hartford City Athletics won the deciding game of a three game series with the Bluffton American Legion outfit, on a neutral floor in Marion last night, by a score of 26 to 19. And that’s not all, Hartford City took all of the gate receipts last night. Here’s the way a Marion dopester raves: “Vincennes defeated Anderson two points at Vincennes. Anderson should defeat Vincennes at Anderson Friday night- Anderson defeated Logansport seven points. Marion defeated Logansport twelve points. Catch on?” We hate to spoil his dream, but: Wabash walloped the Indiana Deltals, Earlham won from Wabash 32 to 20, and the Deltals defeated Earlham. Bobby Myers has returned to the D. H. S. squad determined to take another fling at the old game. Luck to you Bobby. The Vincennes-Anderson scrap is holding the limelight in Hoosier high school basketball this weekend- The battle will take place on the Anderson court, and we believe the Alices of Old Vincennes are going to drink of the bitter cup for the first time this season. We based that ‘believe’ on dope, so be prepared. Greencastle high stepped into the spotlight Monday night with a 29 to 22 win over the Mineral Water boys from Martinsville, at Greencastle. Wonder if Decatur will open the new gymnasium like most college football stadiums are dedicated, with a defeat for the home team? Hope' not. Coach Moore's eagers are cavorting on the new floor like champions now. Their team work is improved greatly by the larger floor. They are being drilled hard in basketshooting now and with this fault, which stood out so prominently in the Noblesville game, corrected, the locals will be headed toward the sectional championship. Byard Smith, former Decatur young man who is attending Yale University, has sent a clipping from a New York paper telling of the prowess of an eastern high school's basketball team. The clipping states that Passiac, New Jersey high school, won its 98th consecutive victory by winning from Garfield 96 to 25. The coacli of the Passiac team says he has issued a challenge to play any high school team in the country at Passiac on January 27 anjj that the only replies he has received are from Danbury, Conn., and St. Marys Acadamy, Agdenshurg, New York. Byard wants to know what has become of all of Indiana’s high school teams. Personally, we haven’t seen the challenge posted on any bulletin boards in Indiana nor have we read the challenge in any news dispatches. If this team compares favorably with the 'Eastern professional teams, which have toured the West, we would be perfectly willing to pit any of some eight or ten Indiana quintets against the Easterners. s—s—s—WANT$ —$—$ —WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s COMB SAGE TEA INTO GRAU HAIR Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its Natural Color and Lustre at Once < uinmou garden sage brewed into a heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant, mixing the Sago Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the rcady-to-use preparation improved by the addition of other in'grcdients a. large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as ‘Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sinful, i wc all desire to retain our youthful | appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one * can toll, because it does it so naturally 'so evenly. You just, dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one 1 small strand at a time; by morning J all gray hairs have disappeared.
