A few hundred thousand people who have read with much interest the legal opinions of Governor McCray in explanation of vetoes are wondering why the state goesi to the trouble of maintaining supreme and appellate courts, when such important questions are decided in advance. The veto power was used by the Governor rather freely except when the bill under consideration had to do with raising money for the state ■ branches of government. If that was i the purpose the bill is constitutional 1 and woe to the ignorant judge who 1 dares say otherwise. The first spring storm took fifty lives over the country and seems to I have been general. Reports of high I winds and much rain comes from the < south, the east, the west and the I north.

tion la serious. President Harding seems to have been completely taken by surprise when he that a fellow with the price could buy all the whiskey he wants in Florida and that's not the only state by any means it all reports are true. The President has called a meeting of the governors and they will discuss plans for enforcement of the liquor laws, Mr. Harding asking for better co-opera-tion. It looks like a feller’, even if he is president has to get away from home to “learn things out.” The American-,lnstitute of Meat Packers has found that the per capita consumption of meat is steadily falling off. Twenty years ago the average citizen ate over ISO pounds of meat a year. Now he eats only 150 pounds. He consumes more milk, however —this average citizen. Figures just issued by the Department of Agriculture place the daily per capita consumption of milk at seven-tenths of a pint. Ten years ago it was/only six-tenths of a pint. This is an increase of about seventeen per cent. In Boston, Concord, Hartford, Denver and Los Angeles the milk < onsnmption per capita is running up to about a piilt a day. In St. Ix>uis it is only about half a pint and in Louisville It is less than half a pint. The people in the small towns and in the country are the biggest milk users, and this is as it should be. —Farm Life. MMMBR-aOESemMiMaB There is no doubt that there will be a vacation iu road building in I Indiana after this year. For two-ale- I cades many counties have been I building roads under the “Three Mile I Law” and it has become a real busi- I ness here. The legislature lias re- I luc-ed the limit for bonded indebted- I less from four per cent for road I lurposes, to two per cent. That I ueans that we will have to wait un- I il the outstanding indebtedness is 1 educed below the two per cent limit I ufliciently to permit a bond issue I with which to build a road and will | lie from three to five years in most I ownships. It will reduce taxes but I it will also make necessary much I oad work after while. We have I >een wondering if there is not some 11 neans whereby a sinking fund can j I >e arranged so that when the time I loes come to build roads we can pay I is we go. It would be much better in 1 •very way, would save bond issues I uid interest and make the business I i steady one after it starts. The road I question Ts a serious one and so is I he tax problem and we should look 11 owards the future. What's your I opinion? | ASKS DAMAGES OF CLOVERLEAF | Huntington, Ind., Mar. 13—Alleging!!

Whenever her hair took on that dullfaded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derfttl effect. By asking at, any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage ami Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large Lot tie of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyitth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can toll it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or sot' brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful.
