They tell u.s that the dollar is only worth sixty-eight cents these days but no one has ever offered to sell us any at that price. Misled by the weather man we have fooled you so often on predictions ' that we are rather chesty because we guessed it last evening and today, even though it may be inconvenient. You have just as much right to guess on whether the coming winter is to be a mild or severe one as anyone e)se and so far as thats con cerned you are just as likely to be right. Large crowds are attending the services at the Reformed church this week under the auspices of the Ministerial Association and comments assure us that the meetings are in every way a success. You are missing something if you are not attending. A meeting of the board of directors of the Industrial Association and some plans for finishing the year with activities would be a fine thing. We believe a survey of the city and county would help in locating such as would be best for everyone'. Governor Jackson has purchased an eighty acre farm just outside Indianapolis for 125.000. Now some want to know if that means his rt>tiremeut from politics or a bid for the farmer vo , writ,- others are content to aifmit it a sigfl of thrift to have done so well in two years. - It will be a great convenience when you step in your car and drive from here to Miami, Florida or to the straits of Mackinaw on a paved road and the more we help it along the sooner that time will' come. Road No. 27 is to be one of the good ones in North America some day. Lets send in those easements this week. Without disputing the ability of the special newspaper writers who are Insisting now that the wet and dry question will be an issie in the next election we would like to bet any of them an ice cream soda that neither party will do any thing but soft pedal on the proposition. The trouble is that every candidate wants to win and he knows he is splitting up his support when he gets too strong on either side of this always disputed problem. The Chicago Tribune announces that fifty. thoitsand more of their papers were sold the morning after the Dempsey-Tunney prize fight than were sold the morning after the recent election. In other words the public seams to be more interested in who is the champion fighter in the arena than who is to make their laws and enforce them. Really it seems deplorable for when a nation turns to amusement and forgets every thing else, the jig is just about up. Nero will soon be getting out his fiddle. _ - . A..

Yet that work, because of its nearness to daily, humdrum community life, is of very great importance. Once a year, when the Red Cross conducts its roll call for membership—and funds—these things are brought forward and talked about. Red Cross instruction in domestic hygiene and home nursing. Red Cross co-operation in the elimination and preventing of disease, local relief work of many kinds, disaster relief on an international scale, all are phases of Red Cross activity. Any one may be a member of the American Red Cross an da sharer in its good works by contributing a dollar to the 1 organization. During this 1926 Roll Call, which begins appropriately enough on Armistice Day. there should be a gain in first memberships as well as widespread rehewal of old memberships. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ OF RADIO ♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Thursday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1926.

Nov. 10. (United Press)—Nearly eight and one-halt years have elapsed since the battle but Belleau Wood is still giving up her dead. Likewise she has revealed what may prove to be the clue to a war-contract 1 scandal. As the thickets in the center of th= wood are cleared the remains of many boys of the Second Division are being , found from time to time. It is estimated that about fifty remain in the de-.tc undergrowth. One Marine was found about three weeks ago and thirteen 1 bodies discovered several months ago. There has been considerable diffi- . culty in the identification of some bt- ( cause thc methl identification tags worn on the wrist were apparently shoddily manufactured and have faile< 5 to withstand the elemints. s "The identification tags which were, ) originally issued to the regular army , outfits were all right, "Adolph KaesS , of Detroit, in charge of the cemetery. told the United Press. “But some of the latter issues were apparently net I subjected to the necessary tests or I: were made of unsuitable material ard Jtbey are indecipherable now.

identify many by charts of their teeth By careful checking with th* armv records we can usually by a process of elimination reduce the probabilities down to a few names. Then we consult the relatives, and dentists who had treated these men in their hometowns, and frequently can make absolute identifications by a chart of the teetii. The tooth charts of no two met are the same. There's always a distinct difference." Within the course of the next year ft Is expected that all the re main in v bodies in Belleau Wood will have been discovered. The authorities here estimate that a«t least 1.000 bodies of Germans are still in the wood. Only a few days ago five were found and buried in the German cemetery which is a few hundred yards from here and which contains 14,000 bodies, of which only 4,000 were identified. The fact that at least 3,000 Americans and Germans were killed in '.hit wood the area of which is only about 150 acres indicates better than any words the terrible struggle which occurred here.

The plan which will make Belleau Wood cemetery one of the beauty spots of Franc is nearing completion. Th • 2 262 graves are now arranged in thirteen concentric quarter-circles on tho green slope facing toward th evil.ege of Belleau. Each grave has a neat white wooden cross with the name and organization of the man buried there Later those are to be replaced with stone crosses The entire cemeteiy is nicely sodded, and driveways laid out. A big flagpole towers in the cen ter and is always flying the Colors The bread driveway leading to the cemetery- has large ornamental gateposs and is p’anted with eight rows of trees. At the entrance two neat, substantial buildings have been erected to serve as the residence of the caretaker, Adolph Kaess and the office.' The caretaker is always on duty and inspects the cemetery several times weekly. Kaess gave an absolutely flat denial that there had ever been any cas ct desecration of <he graves. “I hase been here about seven years.“ he said, “and there has been nothing in the nature of lack of respect to the resting places of our soldiers. On the contrary the numerous French visitors show the utmost respect”

A walk down any row of crosses taken at random is a lesson in 100 per cent Americanism. Here are the names taken from one crosterow Bernardino Miconi, Thomas Patrick, Jesse Russell, Paul Noel. Frank Manning, Albert Debacker, Pete Redovanovich, Henry de Rusha, John Torlep. In the tourist season several thousands of Americans visit the cemeteryeach month.

Belleau Woods As It Looks. Eight Years After World War By Webb Miller (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Belleau Wood, Nov. 10. — (United Press )—The historic woodland where 1.000 American boys of the Second lind Twenty-sixth divisions were killed and 7.321 wounded, is belpg restored. As a result of the efforts of the Belleau Wood Memorial Association the present and future generations of Americans will be able to see the battleground almost exactly as it was the day the fighting ceased. Already the work of restoration is well advanced and the dense underbrush which has grown up since July 1918 is cleared away from most of the second and third lines of German trenches which were captured and used by the Marines, and later by the Twentysixth division from Massachusetts and the New England states. In the years since the battle the quick growth of brushwood had become nearly impenetrable and rendered the trenches inaccessible. A few more years would have largely obliterated traces of the battle which, while far from being the most important will figure in history as perhaps the most significant of America's participation in the war. Now you can walk on broad paths into the center of the wood, and along the trench lines. The paths have been named for the divisions and generals participating in the battle. The trenches and “fox-holes" and machinegun emplacements ane being left just as they are found and visitors are cautioned against touching anything or carrying away souvenirs. In the eight and one-half years since the fight nature has been at her own work of restoration and the tops of the trees which were literally mow ed off by shellfire have grown out. But many of the big trees were so mangle ‘.hat they were killed. Tbesu gaaut skeletons &Ell stand and will remain, many with unexploded shells still sticking into the trunks and filled with shell fragments as large as a fist. Nearly all of the trees which were then standing are torn by the thousands of shells fired into the wood. In the restored portions you can gain a vivid picture of the inferno undergone by the American boys during those June and July days. Here are the trenches where our boys were blown to bits by shells and riddled by machine gun fire. They still hold the horrid debris- of war—here are torn American and German shoes, pieces of uniform, steel helmets with gaping holes made by shell fragments, torn bandiolers, bits of underwear, bully beef cans pierced by bullet holes, twisted barbed wire, rusty bayonets and broken rifles.

There are abou t a thousand “foxholes" or shallow hole scooped out hastily to escape the rain of machine gun bullets. In one I saw an American cent dated 1912, probably lost by • some boy while crouching in the hole. The German machine-guns on their heavy steel bases stand where their crews were killed, captured or driven out. In one emplacement 1 noticed a cheap American cigarette case plug ged by the bullet which probably killed its owner. It demands little imagination to visualize what a literal hell this patch of woodland was during those days and nights from June 6th to 25th during the actual battle attacks and counter attacks, and then from June Jsth to July 18th while parts of the Second and Twenty-sixth divisions were bolding the wood and undergoing almost hourly bombardment. The little hamlet of Uucy-le-BocUge, which will be well-remembered by the Second division, is partially rebuilt now. but the church is still a mass of ruins. The dial of the clock in the crumbling steeple .still shows thirteen minutes to two just as it did when the shell hit it and stopped it forever. At the tiny square in front of the church is a boulder with a brass

plate commemorating the Second 1 Division. The village of Vaux Is nearly rebuilt except the building near the railway. Anybody who saw it eight years ago will rpmember that it was almoet as completely smashed as it could be. The American and French artillery ■helled It ateadily from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m . on July Ist, 1918, then the infantry of the Second division attacked and dug the Germans out of the concreted cellars and took the billage within one hour. The fine row of large trees which lined the road toward Chateau Thierry and which were cut down to give a clear field of fire will exist again in about a hundred years if there isn’t a war or two in the meantime. The rows have been replanted and are now about the size of a thumb. In this region the roads are nearly in pre-war condition, and the fields around Hill 204 which used to be pock-marked with shellholes are under cultivation. The suburb of Vincennes near Chateau Thierry still shows some excellent examples of what a few shells can do to a house.

With Color Glands Normal Nature Keeps Hair Natural Shade SENSIBLE ADVICE TO WOMEN TURNING GRAY Everyone knows if their color glands, and hair roots are active and normal they will coatinae indefinitely to have rich, natural colored hair entirely free of gray, or off-colored locks, so whv use uyes or tints? A doctor several years ago asked himself this question: "If with certain medicines I can stimulate my patient’s other organa, why not rub a stimulating tonic into the scalp that wiU ’•evive, strengthen and tone up these inactive glands so that nature in her own inimitable way will resume putting plenty of pigment into the hair tubes’ Surely "She hair will then again resume its original shade and color regardless of the users age or previous condition of their hair. Remarkable Discovery He didn't want an artificial dye or tint and it of course must be harmless and something that could be used for years and years without the slightest injury to hair or scalp. Just like a tonic that builds up a person's strength after some long wasting illness, he wanted a tonic that would revive and stimulate the inactive,
