Peace! Peace! Over all the world
once more. The god of war has been
vanquished and the dove of peace
has come into her own at last. Hats
off to the dear boys in Khaki who
have helped so bravely to make this
thing possible and tender thoughts
and tears for the brave souls who
have sacrificed life and all the hope
it held that a nation might live.

GIVE THANKS.
Hurrah for the allies! Three cheers
for Uncle Sam and his brothers,
French, English and Italians. We all
feel more than we can express the
long hoped for .peace. Never dying
and' lasting peace. What a happy
thought to every one and most es
pecially fathers and mothers who
have sons “over there.” Sons who
once were infants in their mother’s
aims with never a thought that they
would some day have to cross the
deep to fight the bloody fight of free
dom for his beloved land, the home
of the free and the brave, but never
theless he has done it and done it
well.
Many who have crossed over will
never return again, they have fought
for us at home and paid the supreme
sacrifice. Our hearts bleed for the
loved ones of those, but a war cannot
be won without bloodshed, and we
should be thankful that we have got
off as light as we have. Just think
of ruined Belgium, with men murder
ed, children with their hands cut 'off
and the women made slaves for the
soldiers, Most of us will not thankful
enough. Think it over and be thank
j ful.
L. A. E.
To Our Customers
The matter of increased rates was
discussed, and your City Council be
ing business men, wanted our records
audited by a certified accountant. Mr.
Hennegan of Little Rock was secured
at our expense and their selection.
He found last year that we had a loss
of $3,293.15, and with the present
freight rates, together with the in
creased cost of coal, our fuel bill
alone would be increased $8,860.00, or
a total loss of $12,153.15. Mind you,
we did not set aside one penny for
interest or dividends, and only 5 per
i cent for depreciation, which is hardly
sufficient to maintain the property.
Labor has been increased again, and
our loss is still larger.
i - I am sure you realize that we need
some relief and need it quickly. Just
i a small amount added to each custom
| er does not mean much to him, but it
| means quite a little to us. We need
| this in order to provide you the ser
vice you are entitled to.
Think this over.

BE PRETTY!TURN !
GRAY HAIR DARK;
Try Grandmother’s Old Favorite j
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
_
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get thi3 mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound,” you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, im
proved by th© addition of other in
gredients, at a small cost.
Don’t stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it doe3 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 ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. It is not( in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.
