most successful sessions since state

ter for approval or veto.
The session also will go down in
history as one of the most unusual
from political standpoint and one
Of the most stormy. 1t is declared
that only one session-that of 1909
has come anywhere near paralleling
the 18th in the matter of contention
over important problems and parlia-
mentary struggles on questions in
which there were political issues.
The contention which marked every
day the two houses were in session
was attributed to the presence for
the first time of three political par
ties, each strongly represented and
each contending for certain political
policies and campaign pledges.
In spite Of the many conflicts, the
session has resulted in heavy list
OF additions to the state laws.
Appropriations Are Large.
Counting bond issues and paper"
appropriations the Thirteenth session
spent more money than any two other
sessions combined. In summing up
the the financial work it has been
found that the two houses put through
bills providing for the expenditure of
$27,212,O55. Of this amount $S,000,000
was bond issues and money coming
from funds raised in other ways than
from direct taxation.
The main items of expenditure were
$5,250,OOO for roads, 100000 in
bonds for the building of new build
ings on the capitol site in Olympia,
100000 from the industrial insur-
ance fund and 1924 ,466 for the main
tenance and operation of the various
institutions and departments Of the
state government.
Some of the more important appro-
priations were: State arterial high
ways, $780, 900; permanent or county
highways, $3,00O,0OO; for the expense
of the legislative session, $105,O0O; for
the state prison, $15O,0O0; for state
fish hatcheries, $4,000; Lewis and
Skagit bridges, $57,S49; general bud.

Legislative reapportionment, the
question which dealocked the legisla-

The Tree Surueon.

4 new profession has recently come
into being. We refer to the profes-
sion OF operating on sick trees in or
der to save their life and beauty. This
Is a much more serious problem than
II seems to be, offhand, and the vari-
GUS state and federal authorities are
spending a great deal of time and
money devising ways of preventing
and curing tree ills.
Private citizens and public officials
have long been awake to these prob
lena in the eastern states, but wide
spread interest in the west Is Of more
recent manifestation. This is largely
due to the fact that practically all OF
the diseases and pests which infest
our ornamental shade trees have first
shown themselves upon the eastern
coast. Nearly all have been imported
from foreign countries on nursery
stock, etc.
At the present time large areas in
the east are practically denuded of
trees through the devastations Of the
C;ipsy and Brown Tailed moths, San
Jose. Elm Tree and Oyster Shell scale,
chestnut bark diseases. and other Sc
rious pests. These pests are moving
| steadily westward and every inch OF
their advance must be stubbornly con
tested IL the trees are to be saved.
One Of the best and easiest ways
to help our trees combat these and
other ills, is to prune them properly
so as to conserve their strength, and
at the same time get the best posi-
BILE artistic results.
Most of the readers OF this column
have to consider trees which are al
ready planted. rather than newly
planted ones. Generally speaking

What is the best breed OF chickens?
Easiest question in the world. Ask
your friends and every one of them
can answer right or hand, but each
one will name a different breed or va
riety and when you ask their reasons
for their choice, mighty few of said
reasons would hold in court.
The fact Of the matter is that there is
no one "best breed" of chickens. There
are four or FIVE best Breeds" with
from two to seven best varieties" In
each breed. II you don't believe it,
glance through the files of any poultry
Journal and see the number of best
breeds" mentioned in their free read
Ing notices.
One man proves that the White Or
pingtons are the best breed" because
he got Nine. Paderewsh to admit she
paid $4,000 for FIVE of his chickens.
Another man clinches the pennant for
the White Plymouth Rocks by saying
that a pen of 80 hens earned $500
for him last year, their eggs selling
for $50 a setting. And so 1t goes. Ask
ing a poultry man to name the best
kind of chickens Is like asking an au-
tomobile man to name the best auto
mobile.
AS far as the city or suburban poul-
try keeper is concerned, he can make
his choice of chickens entirely upon
sentimental grounds.
Remember that the breed deter
mines the size and shape OF the fowl
and the variety determines the color
choose the shape and color that you
think is prettiest and you will have
the best breed for you.
Now, however comes the really i'm
portant problem OF the individual
strain of blood within the variety. The
difference between profit and loss
eggs and no eggs lies in the individual
and not in the breed or variety. There
is no marked difference in the produc
ton, growth and hardness Of five ol
six of the principal breeds, and there
is the same similarity between theil
established varieties, but there is
tremendous difference between differ
ent flocks or individuals of the same
variety. A poultry man who under
stands his business can take an or
binary flock of any standard variet!
and he can beat any similar flock o
the same or any other variety, whicl
Is handled by an inexperienced o.
careless person.
Inheritance Of profitable qualities 4
, of the greatest importance. For thi
reason scrub or cross-bred fowls ar
worthless for breeding, because thei
offspring cannot possibly improve Il
size or productivity for any length o
time and practically never hold thei
| own. Never use anything but pure
| bred chickens. Get a setting Of egg
or a pair OF young birds from tn
heaviest laying hen you can find 1
the variety you elect to keep, an
build up your flock from the start. W
have known two pullets of the Whit
| wyandottes, one of which laid
eggs In a year and the other laid "a:
| You could not tell them apart b
looks, either. Three of the good hen
daughters laid over 200 eggs each /
year. That's why strain count
more than breed.

RANT, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just a few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading. gray
or dry. scraggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way
is to get the ready tO-use tonic, cost
ing about so cents a large bottle at
drug stores, known as 'Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy" thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. 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 all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft

summers session, will be exhaustive,
both in general scope and detail.
There Is no greater problem confront
ing the lawmakers of Georgia than the
proper disposition of this magnificent
property of the State, and upon its fit
ting solution may depend many political
careers and ambitions yet undeveloped.
1t is evident from an inspection of the
books of the Secretary of State that the
number of Incorporated banks this year
is to fall far short of that of last wear
For the year 1912, the records show an
average of exactly one new bank per
week. There were 80 State banks In
corporated during that period. This
year the record is many banks short,
and the year is now so near its close 1t
hardly is within the range of the pos
sible that the number may be ma
terially increased over it's present status.
The Secretary of State does not con-
slider that this circumstance indicates a
lesser degree of prosperity in Georgia
this year than last, but that it does In
dictate a less favorable period for the
launching of such enterprises as banks,
Indeed. he inclines to think that next
years record likely will run well in ad-
vance of last and that by and by this
years period of apparent depression will
be altogether overcome and forgotten.

How TO Darken
Gray Hair
BY a Specialist.

A very satisfactory preparation
which darkens gray hair and acts as
a corrective agent for dandruff and
other diseases of the scalp can be
made at small expense and in your
own home by dissolving a small box
of Barbo Compound in 7 ounces of
water and then adding an ounce of
bay rum and a quarter ounce of glyc-
crime Any drug store can furnish
these ingredients. This is to be APP
piled once a week until the hair is
sufficiently darkened, then every two
weeks to keep the hair soft and glossy
and the scalp in a healthy condition.
1t may be used with equal success in
darkening the beard. This is a prep
aration that gives splendid results,
both as a hair darkener and a rene
edy for all scalp disorders, and is
well worthy of trial You will find
1t far superior to the ordinary store
preparations and much less eXpen-
sive.

WIFE FINDS LOST
RACER IN ATLANTA

Thursday morning was like the
dawn of another honeymoon to Paul
Albert Liedtke, celebrated motor
racer, and his wife, who met in dra-
matte fashion the evening before,
when Mrs. Liedtke. having lost track
of her husband through no fault of
either, found him in Atlanta.
D. T. Bussey, manager of the Pre-
mier Automobile Agency, brought the
separated pair together.
Mrs. Liedtke, who had been left in
New York by her husband when he
came South to seek business Connec-
