Five weeks ao It looked like the
potato crop In Box Hutte county
would be almost a minus quantity,
kit late rains and favorable weather
are brought out the spuds in a
way to surprise and delight the na
tlTes. Fred Abley, whose farm Is
orthwest of Alliance, seven or eight
Miles from llemingford, Informed
The Herald last Friday that about
ve weeks prior to that time he and
his son Investigated their field of
potatoes, examining about a hundred
bills, and decided that the crop
would be a total failure. . Murh to
their surprise the tubers set on and
.kave made a fine growth so that now
there Is good prospect of a yield av
raging at least fifty bushels per
aare, which with the present price
eats nothing a whole lot.
On the same day Mrs. John Law
rence. Sr., fro mFalrvlew, ten miles
aortheast of Alliance, was In town
aad stated that potatoes in that
Mlghborhood will make a nice crop,
aalho It was not expected a few
weeks ago. Other reports agree
hat, while the crop this year may
at be as heavy as last year, it will
he a good many thousand bushels
hatter than nothing.

Att'y Joe L. Westover came over
from Alliance last week to attend
court and while here thought be
would do a few stunts on a motor
cycle. So he mounted one and start
ed off like the wind. The machine
went somewhat faster than Joe could
ride and slipped from under blui.
When Joe found out "where he was
at" blood was trlckllnK across his
face in little rivulets, caused by the
peeling off of a few pieces of cuticle
where his cranium plowed along the
ground. Dr. Crawford salved up
the bruises and wrapped a dish cloth
around his head which gave him the
appearance of a Servian after the
battle was over. Rushvllle Standard.

Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur darkens so naturally
that nobody can telL
Almost everyone knows that Page Tea
and Sulpiiur, properly compounded,
brings buck the natural color and lustre
to tiiis hair when faded, streaked or gray ;
ftlao ends dandruff, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture ww to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair F.nody, you will get a large but
tle of this famous old recipe for about
60 cents.
Don't stay pray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, aa 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 strand at a time:
by morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy.
