GRAFT REVEALED IN

U.S. SUPPLY SERVICE

BY FRENCH BUYERS

PARIS, May 28. Revelations of graft, mounting Into millions, in the supplies shipped to the American expeditionary force during the war, have Just been made in the course of taking an inventory of army stocks bought from the United States by France last year. At one depot there was found a full mile of cases marked "bottles of ink" or "canned food." Only the top layer of each box consisted of full bottles or cans. The rest were empty. Hundreds of thousands of pairs of "woolen" underclothes were found to be cotton of the porest quality, while a vast number of cases designated as containing clothing were either empty or refilled with a jumble of material in the worst possible condition. Baby Outfits Included. Investigation showed that at another depot there were five miles of supplies, including beds, munitions, jam, shaving soap, gasoline and even more than 50,000 cases of baby underwear, baby socks and baby bonnets. The French are puzzled by these remarkable discoveries and are wondering what possible use the Americans could have intended these things for.

The Farm and the Fanner BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

"We are putting about 200 acres in

corn, and expect to finish planting this week," said Tr mas Williams of

T "'VU1UUUU UU BU. lUll Ul 1 U III - Boston township. "As to wheat we

have 135 acres all told and as we

planted some of it in early October, we escaped the fly and had no

fields to plow up, All wheat was sown to clover and the young crop

seems to be making a fine start, but some of that sown last year isn't doing so well as hoped. We expect to

cut every acre of wheat but are not

expecting a normal crop, although it

looks fairly good now". Mr. Williams states that he has re

cently shipped 90 head of cattle, which averaged 1,100 pounds and still has 21 head to go which will net around 1,000 pounds or better. He says that the light stuff is selling best and that the cattle shipped during the past few days ran at. from $12.25 to $12.75. He admits that these prices are about $4 per hundred too low to net a profit, butsays he is inclined to take things as they come, "for there are more cattle and still other market days, so

why fret about a loss?" I In view of the coming rise in the price of milk to consumers a statement made by Russel G. White regarding his dairy operations south of Whitewater Is of interest Mr. White owns two farms and on one of these he has a herd of 11 Holstelns and Jerseys, from which he has been selling whole milk. Mr. White states that his milk is rich, that it tested over six per cent in butter fat last winter, and that his cows are fed and cared for to the limit. On last November he took a man into partnership, and that accurate bookkeeping develops that the net profit for division at this time, ard covering more than six months' work, Is less than $100. No charge has been made for the straw used, nor for the shredded fodder fed, nor are any wage bills included. "It is wbrse thau child's play." said Mr. White, "this feeding and milking 11 cows for more than six months for less than $50 for the man doing the work. We are and have long been selling milk too cheap." Strawberries and Triplets. "If you had been invited to inspect the Andrew Kerber garden, ou'1, iuth

of Milton, on Thursday, and had glanc

ed over the adjoining meadow you might have observed: First, a great patch of strawberries which will begin to ripen next week, and in the meadow a proud Merino ewe, with three blacknosed lambs. Mr. Kerber has a fine garden, and the promise of a world of strawberries, red and black raspberries, etc. Incidentally, there is a flock of chickens on the place which has been contributing 75 dozen eggs per week for some time. There are 80 head of sheep, 60 hogs and a few cattle on the Kerber place at this time.- The Kerbers are putting in 70 acres of corn and hope to be through by Saturday night. The Kerber farm was entered at the land office in Cincinnati when Monroe was president. The old red barn on the place was the first homestead; was built in 1830, has been removed twice and looks today as if It would stand another 90 years. It is freshly painted and kept In pood repair. There Is

a newer and larger barn close by. Ran His Tractor All Night. The last two beautiful Sundays, together with the lateness of the season, caused farmers to do more Sunday work than in the past twenty years, as some tell it. Driving in any direction last Sunday one could see men in their cornfields, working from dawn till dark. Hiram Crook, of Milton, also ran his tractor all of Monday night, and it is a fact that several farmers have worked their tractors all day and half the night by a shifting of drivers.

Exports of Tobacco Going Up; All Kinds Included A substantial increase in the volume of trade in tobacco products between the United States and Alaska, is indicated by the official figures of shipments for the month of February, 1920, an increase of 677,000 cigarettes, or 102 per cent, compared with the corresponding month last year being shown. Cigars and cheroots decreased 2,000, or 1 per cent, but all other branches

year: Cigarettes increased, 6.651,000, or 64 per cent; cigars and cheroots increased 563,000. or 22 per cent; plug tobacco increased 17,285 pounds, or 30 per cent; smoking tobacco increased 24,647 pounds, or 27 per cent The total value increased $167,012, or 41 per cent.

GRAIN CAR SHORTAGE IN STATE SERIOUS; TELEGRAM SENT

bow Division Veterans' association. The majority of the members of the Indiana chapter of the association were formerly members of the 150th Field Artillery, although there are a number of Indiana men who fought with other units of the division who are also members.

A serious shortage of grain cars exists in Indiana, according to John W. McCardle, vice chairman of- the state publio service commission. Mr. Mc Cardie has directed the attention of the interstate commerce commission to the situation. The telegram of Mr. McCardle to the commission is as follows: "Complaint to this commission from grain shippers on account of tpking grain cars from here to other states is serious. Considerable grain is stored readv for movement. Grain

BE PRETTY! TURN GRAY HAIR DARK

Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo

Try

Grandmother's Old Recipe of Sage Tea Sulphur.

Favorite and

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wat it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sluphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to

get this mixture was to make it at

home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, at a small cost. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell you have darkened your hair, as it does It so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small 6trand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
