Water wagons all around and not drop to drink. How do you prefer your leaves, done on one side or turned over? Anyhow, a little cold weather now and then is relished by the skinniest of men. The rainbow has nothing on some of the holiday editions of more than one of our esteemed contemporaries. Speaking about moving picture shows, did you ever notice the pre- cise girl who forgot her rubbers when she hits an icy place on the sidewalk? It may be a little out of season for nosquitoes but at most any table in lemidji where they are serving buckwheat cakes you can see the butter-fly. (Punk is right). BETTER THINK THIS OVER. A well known eastern bank presi-. dent recently gave the following to the present writer, says the Ameri- can Press: “I never yet have seen in"a newspaper a story regarding any matter affecting my bank that was absolutely correct fn all de- tails.” printed Next he proceeded to assail news- papers as careless, inaccurate and untrustworthy. _The banker, however, when asked whether or not he had ever refused information when questioned by re- porters, said: “Why, certainly, 1 have. and I do not allow any of our officers to give out any statements for publication. I am the only one authorized to talk to the press, and I won't talk.” There lay the crux of the whole matter, the key to the explanation of the banker’s complaint. He did not realize that his refusal to yield legit- imate information to the reporters at legitimate times placed them un- der the necessity of obtaining en- lightenment from other sources prob- ably less accurate than the president himself. Information regarding banking in- stitutions under proper stances is due the public. circum- Banks are quasi public institutions, and their vital relation to the public gives a right through the newspapers to in- formation that is not necessarily of a confidential nature. But the which we are leading is this: That persons that withhold legiti- mate information from newspapers and throw the reporters on their own broader proposition to resources to obtain the answers to their questions have no evident right to criticise the papers for inaccura- cies, 111 advised or improper secret- iveness on the part of individuals is a sure producer of journalistic er- rors. ers will not be abused, and the hon- Frankness to honest report-|. esty of reporters as a class cannot justly be assailed. The sooner that responsible per- sons maintain open mindedness to- ward representatives of respounsible newspapers the sooner will the inac- curacies of the press be diminished. To sum up the entire subject, we would say in axiomatic fashion: Those who arouse suspicion against the sincerity of the news- papers may in turn attract suspicion to themselves. NEWS FORECAST FUR THE COMING WEEK New Year's day in the national capital will be made brilliant as us- ual with the president’s reception at the White House, the breakfast given by the Secretary of State for the foreign diplomats, and customary | the exchange of visits by all per- |sons prominent in official life. . Congress will reassemble Wednes- day. The big business of the imme- diate future promises to be tariff, as far as the house of representatives is concerned. Messages are expected from the president at an early date dealing with Alaska, the schedule and the report of the tariff board on the postal probably cotton that subject, commission’s ‘report and one on financial and monetary re- forms. N The senate committee, interstate commerce which is investigating trust problems, will resume its hear- ings Friday, but the Lorimer inves- tigating Stanley committee that is investigating the steel committee, the trust and several other com- mittees of similar nature will not resume their activities until the fol- lowing week. o During the week the State legis- latures of Kentucky, Maryland, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Missis- sippi and one or two other states will convene for their regular sessions. Special interest attaches to the meet- ing of the New York legislature, as the annual message of Governor Bix is expected to deal with matters of urusual importance. + Other events of the week of more or less public interest will include the local option elections in Onta- rio, the general elections in Prince Edward Island, the annual New Year5s Day rose tournament at Pas- adena, Cal., the opening of the an- nual exhibition of the National Asso- ciation of Automobile Manufactur- ers in New York city, and the re- sumption of the Federal grand jury investigation at Indianapolis into the alleged McNamara dynamiting con- spiracy.

A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs, which, unfortunately, are luoked up- on as heralds of advancing age. Gray hairs, however, are not always an indication of advancing age, for many people have gray hairs quite early in life.- Of course it is unna- tural, and indicates that there is something wrong with the individ- ual, and that Nature needs assist- ance in correcting the trouble. The same is true of hair that is constant- ly falling out and becoming thinner every day. If everything is right with Nature, the hair, even in com- paratively elderly people, should be long, thick and glossy, without even a streak of gray. 2 The ideal assistant to Nature in | restoring and preserving the hair is | Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,- a clean and wholesome dressing for daily use. It not only removes dandruff, but strengthens motes its growth. A few applica- {tions will restore faded or gray hair |to its natural color. | Get a bottle today, and let it do | tor you what it has done for thou- sands of others. This preparation is offered to the | public at fifty cents a bottle, and is |recommended and sold by all drug- | gists.
