One thing: certain sure most , o" them fellers thet are "standln' at Armageddon" pr durned raw rekroota If they're a-flghtln' fer th' Lord. Ef A. F. kin reform politics they're certainly in need uy it. Another holdup Is reported to have occurred in the east side of town on Monday night when E. Bosel, who works on the AVarsley farm, was held up by four men and money amounting to about five dollars taken from him. The holdup occurred on the Sauerman
crossing east y of town, the quartet
pulling a gun on young: Bosel and
making him come across with all his available cash. The holdup was the
work of amateurs, the number lndl

What appears to be a tree blight has appeared on Crown Point's shade trees, especially the soft maples, and to all appearances is doing lncalcuable harm to the city's beautiful trees.

action should be taken by the entire community to fight the ravages of the
tree pest. Manager Keiser Is preparing, to take
a" big crowd to Gary on Sunday to witness the Crown Point-Gary contest. Besides the regular schedule of Interurban cars two will start for Gary at 12 o'clock and two leave at 2 p. m.

Several canines have been found unlicensed and will be dispatched or their owners fined if the metal tag is not procured post haste. The city council will meet on Friday evening In an effort to determine what kind of paving is wanted by the Main

It is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although it is possible to do both. Our grandmothers understood the secret. They made a "sage tea," and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandmothers in using
"sage tea" for their hair ad are fast following suit. The present generation has the advantage of the past in that it can get
a ready-to-use preparation canea
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer this preparation is vastly superior to the ordinary "sage tea" made by our grandmothers. The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs which rob the hair of its life, color and lustre, makes the scalp clean and healthy, gives the hair strength, color and. beauty, and makes it grow.
