tttt nrrmVTXO ORTCfrOXTATT. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1913. 7 POLITICS OOZE INTO G000 ROADS MEET Washington Association Will Fight Today Over Next v Convention City. DATE KEY TO LEGISLATURE Centralis and; Spokane Represent Factions From Fast and West. Governor Will Name Com-- xnissloner From Olympia. i NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Nov. 20. (Special.) In spite of the plea of John P. Hartman. president of the Washing ton Good Roads Association, that the convention which assembled in North Taklma this morning be free from poli tics, an undercurrent of political Issues tras noticeable throughout the discus sion of road methods. Of state-wide Interest was a declara tion tonight by Governor Lister that he will not name a successor for State Highway Commissioner ' Roberts until lie returns from Olympia, the end of this week. He said, however, that the choice has narrowed down to three men, one of Spokane and two of Pierce County. An alliance between the King County delegation of 26. the largest In attend ance, and Southwestern Washington to give the 1914 convention to Centralla will probably defeat Spokane's aspira tions, although F. W. Gullbert, chair man of the Spokane delegation. Is working hard to line up a majority. By resolution passed this afternoon the question will come up for vote tomor row morning at 11 o'clock. i Convention Ilolds Key. H. M. Robinson, chairman of the Cen tralla Commercial Club, claims to have pledges of support from Pierce County as well as King-. Cards with the name of W. J. Rob erts for President of the Washington Good Roads Association were printed and distributed tonight at 6:30 o'clock. The only .other man named for the place is Robert Insinger, of Spokane, and the Spokane delegation is not urg lng his candidacy, as it is principally interested In securing the 1911 meet lng. The Seattle delegation, in caucus tonight, pledged its support to Cen tralla. Both Centralla and Spokane claim North Yakima s support, which Is doubtful. About 250 delegates are In attend ance and an aggregate of .350 will prob ably be ready lor the balloting tomorrow. The object of both east and west side In the tight is to secure the good roads meeting in the even-numbered years, Immediately before the legislative ses sions, while the recommendations of the good roads convention will have greatest weight. The question came to the front for a moment when Invitations were pre sented by both Spokano and Centralia and David McKenzie, chairman of the Iving County Hoard of Commissioners, and M. R. Thompson, Pierce County en. "gineor, declared the members of their state organizations for Centralia. The conventions for the last 11 years have been as follows: Seattle, 1900; Ellensburg, 1901; Spo Kane, 1902; Belllngham, 1903; North Yakima, 1901; Everett. 1905; Walla Walla, 1906; Belllngham. 1907; Kenne wick, 1908; Aberdeen. 1909; Walla Wal la, 1910; Wena tehee, 1911; Tacoma, 1912.

Grain Acreage Likely to Bo larger and Dairying and Breeding ol Pure-Blooded Horses Get Attention. LEWISTON. Idaho. Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) The Interest aroused in alfalfa growing and livestock probaDiy will result in large areas of alfalfa being seeded this Winter and early In the SDriner. In many instances the alfalfa seed being used In connection with grain, which .will enable the farmers to take a grain crop from the land next year. Other farmers are selecting tracts to be devoted exclusively to alfalfa grow ing, and the weather conditions are favorable for preparing the seed bed for the new crop. Another matter receiving the atten tion of the farmers is the preparation of their fat stock for the livestock show, which will be held at Lewlston December 1 to 6. Central Idaho farm ers will be represented with carload exhibits of fat cattle, sheep and hogs, and from many of the communities will come purebred horses, cattle, sheep and hogs to be entered in the purebred classifications. , It is probable the acreage of Fall grain in the Central Idaho country will be larger next season than ever before. but there la evidence that the farmers are Dreoaring for a material change in their clans, and that tiiversinea rarm- lng will be taken up extensively as soon as the necessary cnange can De made. The alfalfa growing probably will be followed by dairying and the raising of cattle and hogs lor the marKets, ana the breeding of purebred horses is re ceiving much attention in many sec tions.

FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses Its color and lustre. or when It fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which Is so attrac tive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell It has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just 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' dis appears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives It an appearance of abundance.
