RAILWAY RETURNS

Current reports OF the revival OF
railway traffic are verified by the Of
fetal returns for the month OF July
compiled by the buerau Of railway
economies from reports to the inter-
state commerce commission covering
over 90 600 miles, about 80 per cent
OF the steam railway mileage OF the

not. however universal. For the east
ern group OF railways the Increase ov-
er July, 1911, was 1913 per cent, or
S2.0l per mile OF line per day: for
the western group l6.4 per cent, or
fl.2s per mile OF line per day. The
net revenue Of the southern group de-
creased SIS per cent, or Al cents per
mile OF line per day.
Taking the average per mile of
line for the month for the country
as a whole. total operating revenues
Increased $50 or 81 per cent; operat-
ing expenses increased s53 or rs per
cent Taxes amounted TO 345 per
mile of line, an increase of SIS per
cent
lhe aggregate OF all net operating
revenue for the month was ss0,197.-
743. an aggregate increase of ;9,037.-
Ois. This net operating revenue per

betterments and dividends.

long and has been such patriotic
and influential worker for the com

vacancy very hard to fill He has
been far more generous than the av-

Incidentally he has done some work

He has been identified with innumer-

Disqualified. the direct primary law
in running for senator
after having been defeated by Selling
in April
Prior to the April primary Judge
Lowell's friends, If not the judge him
self, had harsh words for Selling on
the score Of violating the spirit Of the
corrupt practices act. He was charg-
ed with using an enormous amount OF
money to forward his candidacy and
there was ample evidence to the ef-
feet much money was used
But Harry Lane has not violated
the direct primary or the corrupt
practices act He is not making the
race after having been defeated for
a nomination. Neither did he use a
lot of money to obtain his nomina-
tion.
The logical course is to elect Lane.

A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredients That Really Pro
mote Hair Growth When Proper,
" " Combined

Resorcin is one OF the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol, which is both germicldal and
antiseptic, combination is formed
which destroys the germs which rob the
hair OF its natural nourishment, and also
creates a clean, healthy condition of the
scalp, which prevents the development of
| new germs.
Pilocarpin, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is 4 well-known ingredient
for restoring the hair to it's natural color,
when the loss Of hair has been caused by
a disease of the scalp
These ingredients in proper combina-
ton, which alcohol added as stimuiant
and for its well-deiined nourishing pro-
pcrties, perfect perhaps the most effeCtiva
remedy that is known for scalp and hair
troubles
We have remedy which is chiefly
composed OF these ingredients, in COM
bination with other extremely invaluable
medicinal agents. We guarantee it to
positively cure dandruff and to grow
hair, even though the scalp in spots is
bare OF hair. If there is any vitality left
in the roots, it will positively cure bald
ness, or we will refund your money. If
the scalp has glazed, shiny appearance,
it's an indication that badness is per-
mancnt, but i'll other instances we be-
lieve badness is curable.

CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK
The Construction and Use of an
"a" Level.

A frame made in the shape of the
letter A,' with a brace fastened
to the top by leather hinge. so the
"A" may be made to stand up like
an easel; cheap plumb bob. and
string, and we are equipped with
leveling instrument, which is suf-
ficiently accurate and is we'll adapt
ted for constructing terraces, bitches,
or roads.
To make the "a" select two
pieces of 3"x1"x16' lumber, bolt
them together at one end. sharpen.
the other ends 30 that when folded,
the points will come together exact
ly. Mark straight line from the
point to the center of the bolt, and
on this line, about three feet from
the points. bore a 5" hole through
the two pieces. Open out the sides
until the points are 16' s" apart.
Bolt the cross arm on through the
holes which have been made, and
fasten the brace to the top.
In order to make the a." drive
two pegs in the ground 16' 8" apart,
on which place the legs of the "a"
swing the plumb from the bolt at
the top; when it comes to rest, mark
the place where the string crosses
the arms. Change the legs of the
"A" on the pegs. turning end for
end, allow the plumb to come to
rest, marking the place on arm
where it crosses. Find the halfway
point between these two marks and
mark it distinctly zero.
Select two pegs 16' 81 apart. as
nearly on a level as possible and
place the "A" on them, driving one
down if necessary until the plumb
bob string falls on the zero mark.
Now elevate one end of the "A"
two inches and mark where string
crosses arm and continue to elevate,
two inches at time, marking the
place from the zero, 1, 2, 3, etc.
Then begin at the other side and
mark it in like manner.
To use the "A" in terracing,
select points. on the ground where
the. plumb line crosses the zero,
stepping from one to another.
The fall in inches between any
two places may be obtained by
stepping off the distance between
them, and keeping a record of the
numbers where the line CROSSES the
arm, add them and multiply by
two, this will give you the difference
in inches, provided, the slope has
all been in the same direction.
The rise. or fall of ditch or road
is expressed directly in per cent. by
the marks on the arm.
The work cannot be done as rapid
ly as an experienced instrument
man can do it, using a level, but it
has the advantage that it takes only
one man to operate it, and that one
of only ordinary intelligence.
The plumb bob will come to rest
more quickly if allowed to swing in
a bucket of oil or water, placed on
the ground just underneath it.
