constitutes vital part of this story.
Julia is ten years old and she goes to
Sunday school. 1t appears that on a
recent occasion the Sunday school
teacher had considerable to say about
this matter OF entertaining angels
nnawares." Anyway, il made & deep
impression with Julia.
A few days after the lesson Julias
mother left her in charge of the house
for few hours. When the mother re-
turned she went to particular cup
in the cupboard to extract therefrom
one-half dollar. In this cup is kept
the family pin money, and julia's
mother knew that she had put so
cents there before she had gone out.
But the half dollar was. gone There
was an expression of anxiety on
Julia's face and mother scented mis-
chief.

the mother. somewhat severely.
Julia broke into tears: Il gave it to

about his neck with an easy running
moose. Then. having knocked over
the furniture, he would overturn the
chair on which he was standing and
remain hanging by the rope. Alarm.

ADDED TO THE GOOD TIME

Thing Of Consequence to Those
Silent Mountaineers.

There were six stalwart pioneers
who settled in Upshur county, West
Virginia, long before the war, when
there wasn't "a stick amiss" and
hunting was good. They were brothers
and their name was Phillips.
Each fall after hog-killing time
they held a family reunion, at which
a feast fit for the gods was partakeD

which was always asked by the cid.

much talk or levity. When they spoke
it was usually in monosyllables. After
dinner they would sit around the big
log fireplace, tilted back in split bot
tom chairs, and smoke their corncOh
pipes in silence until it was time to
go home and do the chores.
At one of the reunions something
Of unusual interest occurred-One OF
the boys told bear story. While

IN the mountains told them that their
brother had a hand to hand fight

"Um-mph-bar?"
"Yea-ah."
"Whar?"
"Over thar" jerking his thumb
back over his shoulder in the direc-
ton of Beech mountain.
After this bear story of five words

time to go home. For months after

that reunion they would remark to
visiting neighbors that they had "a
powerful fine time at Eben's re-
union"
It was remarkable, because they
had had a bear story in addition to
the blessing, which was a powerful
lot of talk for these silent men.

found that the model road, as well
as the grade, built by the city of
Brookings east from the model road,
are practically untouched SO far as
damage is concerned. The surface
has been washed a little in places but
the total damage is very small. The
concrete culverts on the model road
are absolutely intact, while the cul-
verts at the railroad crossing as well
as the bridge at Remarks are washed

This is sufficient evidence that the

tects the roadway and prevents wash

The mile Of model road Is indeed a

When a newly made roadway can

A Genuine Hair Restorer

hid vou ever know of any hair preparation which would really grow hair
and restore the color to gray n faded hair?
There are many preparations highly advertised to do tn work, but 1t is
probably your experience that non of them will really meet the claims of
their manufacturers.
There are many socaIed Hair Restorers which are nothing more than
harmful chemical dyes, which do not grow any hair, the only result being that
pearance.
It has been the aim oft the chemists for years to discover a preparation
which would really grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair
but heretofore they have me with no success.
Prof. Rembler now claims to have discovered a combination O. harmless
vegetable composition which is a Genuine Hair Resorer and will grow hair
and does not contain any dye of any kind, but will positively restore the
natural color and brliancy to gray and faded hair.
This is a very strong statement tt make and if any chemist without the
recognized ability and national reputation of Prof. Rembler were to make
this claim W e would be inclined to be skepical IS to its truth. 1t will be
remembered by readers that are familiar with scientific discoveries that Prof
Rembler was the inventor of the n fire process for gliding glass and also
the Rember wireless Coherer. Any statement made by Prof. Rembler is
entitled to consideration as he would not make any statements which We're
% true and would injure his established reputation.
The Snoron Mfg. Co. of Pueblo, Colo, have purchased the exclusive
American rights to manufacture Sagne, is they have named Prof Rembers
invention, after having made a six months test of sagine and thoroughly
have authorized us to make the following remarkable offer to all who need
a Genuine Hair Restorer"
They will send a written agreement with every bottle of Sagine, to the
effect that if one bottle of Sagne conscientiously used according to the di
rectons does not give entire satisfaction to the purchaser; if Sagine does
o. actually grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, remove
dandruf and make the hair healthy and glossy, that they will pay the sum
of IS to any dissatisfied purchaser
This is the strongest offer ever made by any manufacturer and one they
could not possibly make if they did not know positively from experiment
that it would do exactly what they claim for it, No n takes any chance
in buying Sagine as it is certainly worth 81 to use a Genuine Hair Restorer
that will really grow hair, and if it does not give satisfaction they will pay
you the IS as agreed. Send a 81 bill to The sloron Mfg Co, Pueblo, Colo,
stating that you wish to purchase a bottle of Sagine with the written agree
ment to grow hair and restore the color to gray O faded hair or pay you the
sum of IS and it will be sent to you be express in plain wrapper.

HUME ORIGINATES TEST

Bulletin so 90, Of the University of
Illinois Experiment Station reveals
the fact that Prof Hume Of the State
College is the originator Of the single
ear test for seed corn. This is the
test which was adopted by Prof. Hol-
den Of Iowa, and 50 successfully used
by him In his seed corn propaganda.
II is not generally known that Prof.
Hume Of B~rookings, originated this
test in 1904, and published the first
bulletin on the subject. This fact
should give the state Of South Dakota
great confidence in the new agronom-
list. who is coming to spend his time
in the Improvement Of crop conditions
in this state.
Prof Hume worked out this bulletin
in collaboration with Cyril G. Hopkins
a graduate Of the State College, who
is now the professor Of agro-
nomy at the University Of Illinois. In
this bulletin Prof. Hume stated that
the object toward which we are all
striving is that agriculture be made
an exact science. The testing of each
ear Of seed corr will certainly be a
considerable stride in that direction"
DR.. Hume's 1904 Bulletin explains
the new method OF testing seed corn,
giving directions for various cheap
systems which might be used by every
farmer without difficulty and also
gives tables showing the exact amount
of time required for testing each
bushel. He stated that n man can
test enough seed cor for 67 acres by
the use of ten hours total time, and he
considered it possible to test the vital
ity of every ear of corn planted in Hi
nois, thereby saving millions of dol
lars for that state.
The scientific development Of this
method Of testing seed corn is well
known, for it has been almost univer-
sally adopted. One or two men in
other states have made national repu-
tations for themselves by vigorously
pushing the proposition. DR.. Hume is
now professor OF agrOnomy in the
State College and is deyoting a good
portion of his time to Investigating
soils and crop conditions of the state
and to explaining methods for improv-
ing the productivity Of South Dakota
farms.
