THE ELECTRIC RAIN MAKER.

one of the most serious problems
of truck farming is an adequate and
reliable supply of rain. Time has
proved that the tickle and vacillating
weather man" cannot be depended
upon to supply this necessary mois-
ture when 1t is needed. There is apt
to be too much rain in the early spring
and late fall, with many long and
serious dry spells during July and Au-
gust, or Just when the growing plants
should have all the water they want
More than one enterprising truck
gardener has ceased to look anxious
ly at the cloudless sky when more
rain is wanted and has devised ways
and means to irrigate his soil. Time
was when easterners laughed at their
western brothers because they had to
irrigate the land, but, in place of the
smiles the farmers brow is lined with
wrinkles of care begot by worrying
over crops ruined by prolonged dry
weather, Now the easterner has come
to appreciate the value of irrigation
and throughout the Atlantic states YOU
can nd plenty of truck farms where
artificial rain can be turned on at
will.
one of the methods used extensive
ly by truck farmers near large cities,
where plenty of cheap electricity is
always available, is to install a mo-
tor-driVen pump and a sprinkler sys-
tenn. The small electric motor is di-
rectly connected to the shaft of a
powerful centrifugal pump. The wa
ter is raised from nearby stream, or
from driven wells. and supplied to
the land from pipes laid on top of
the ground with suitable spriner
nozzles at regular intervals. This
method has many advantages The
pipes can be easily and quickly chang
ed at will and are easy to take up
and house for the winter.
Other gardeners use the pump to
raise water to suitable tank where
it is fed to the pipes by gravity, In

land upon which the billboard is built
responsible for nonpayment of the
tax. Another clause makes the own
ers of the land pay an additional tax
based on the sum received from the
advertising.
Pendleton might well take a few
steps towards better control of tho
billboard nuisance, The elimination
of few of our more delapidated
boards would wori; for more seer. c

this case the motor works entirely au-
tomato, being governed by float
inside the tank. When the water
drops to a certain level the float
throws on the electric current and
the pump starts only to stop again
when the float rises to the required
height With this automatic supply
of water assured the gardener has
plenty of "rain" at his absolute COM
mand and can go on making money
regardless of droughts and dry spells

On July 10, 1911, the surplus was
l5O,4SS, and the shortage 1,S61,
making a net surplus of l49,072. BY
October - the surplus was down to
S9,SO6, and the shortage up to IS.
IA, leaving net surplus OF 20,5S2.
This was reduction in the available
ear supply since July of l2S,5iO cars
In these four years the reduction
in the net car supply between the
third week in July and the third
week in October varied from 12S,54O
to 24S.755 cars. on July Is, 1912,
the surplus was 1888, and the
shortage 6,467, making n net surplus
of 6&922, Therefore, If the reduc-
ton in the available car supply be-
tween July and October, 1912. he only
equal to the smallest reduction that
has taken place in the same period
in any of the preceding four years
viz; 12S,54O cars, we would be COM
fIonted on October % with net
shortage of 59,61S cars. If the reduc-
ton in the available supply of cars
should be as great as it was in 1909,
we would face on October % a short.
age of 1888 cars.
That the situation is serious seems
very evident from this statement. To
a casual observer it is amazing the
railroads with the unlimited means al
their disposal do not seek to remedy
the situation by buying a few more
cars, 1t is up to the transportation
lines not to the shippers, to provide
he rolling stock.

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO- NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a Simple
Remedy for Dandruff, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers had
dark, glossy hair at seventy-tive,
while our mothers are gray before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers
kept their hair soft and glossy with
a "Sage Tea,'' which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a pre-
paration was the trouble of making
it. This objection has been over
come by the Wyeth Chemical Com
pany of New York, who has placed
on the market a superior prepara-
ton of Sage, combined with Sulphur
and other valuable remedies for dan
druff, itching scalp, and thin, weak,
falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends
more on its rich, even shading than
anything else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
a few days; and don't be torment
ed with dandruff, itching scalp and
loose, falling hairs. Wyeth's Sui
phur Sage and Hair Remedy will
quickly correct these troubles, an6
give color, strength and beauty tt
your hair.

Bcurgeoise is an attorney, genealo-
gist, biographer, and the only wom-
an of Missouri who will campaign for
Wilson. Her faith in him comes in
part from the fact that she has al
ways been a Democratic sympathizer;
in the main, it is based on the belief
that a Wilson administration will
lower the cost of living by legislation
to reduce the tariff Another reason
for her entering the campaign is that
she is a suffraget and believes the
Democratic nominee will more mater
tally benefit the cause than any 9TH
