Bankers of the city unite in de-
claring that the condition of the pub

the books Of the four banks of the city
substantiate the claims of the bank

tho same time, there was on deposit

The increased deposits indicate ac-

thus putting more into circulation,
Many of the loans are TO farmers.
Others are to manufacturers. while
the savings banks are loaning large
sums on new properties that are be-
ing built we are loaning money to
the people who are doing things. said
one banker when we know that
some one wants to build a new home
and that some one is responsible. we
encourage him to borrow the money
to build that home. a new home
generally means that the owner Is
fixture in the community, and the
more fixtures the better community we
have. In other words. by helping home
builders we are helping build up the
town"
Hog cholera on the farms is the
couse of MANY loans" said another
banker. Farmers who have lost a
hundred or two hogs from which they
expected to realize nice sum OF
money are in the market for money
either to replace their herds or buy
some other class of stock to take the
place of the hogs"
Industrial loans are also brisk. ac-

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
DON'T STAY GRAY! HERE'S AN
OlDTIME RECIPE THAT ANY
BODY CAN APPLY.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that dull
faded or streaked appearance, this SIM
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle of
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy." you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A weli-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plicatfon or two. it becomes beautifully
dark. glossy, soft and abundant-.Adv.

master generals outer office some

wanted just a minute with the post
master general. Smith explained that
his chief was very busy, but he man
aged to get the visitor in to see him
late in the afternoon. AS the latter

NEW BRANCH OF EDUCATION.

''The municipal university is com
paratively new in this country, and its
development will be watched with in
terest," said DR.. P. P. Claxton, United
States commissioner of education the
other day, in discussing the Unive4>
sity of Cincinnati. There are Ger.
tain significant things about this city
university that tend to show how valu-
able such an institution may be to
community. Consider the student
body. Something like % per cent.
of the students are fatherless OF the
fathers of the others, less than one
fourth are in the so-called professions.
Over three-fourths are in nOnprofes-
sional, commercial or mechanical pur-
suits. AS further indication of the
class reached by the university, S5.5
per cent. of the male students have
followed gainful occupations before
coming to college, and "A per cent. of
them work regularly for part of the
time during the year.
Although the municipal university
may be more or less of a novelty in
this country, it is by no means SO rare
abroad. Any one who has studied at
Leipsie knows that the university in
that city is not merely great German

GREAT INFLUX OF IMMIGRANTS.

The influx Of immigrants into the
United States for the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1918, will probably be
greater than that for any other year
in the history of the country. Judging
from the reports now being. received
by the commissioner general of immi-
grafton, the arrival of aliens in this
country by the end of June will pass
the high water mark Of 1907, when ap-
proximately 100000 immigrants
landed on the shores of America.
Statistics received by Commissioner
General Keefe show that for the first
nine months of the present fiscal year,
which ended March 81, 1918, total of
S8S,S99 immigrants arrived in this
country at all ports of entry. If this
ratio should keep up, it is estimated
that at least 100000 additional will
arrive during the last three months OF
the year. which will bring the grand
total up to 1908, S99, the highest mark
ever reached, according to the records
at the immigration bureau.

CONTRASTS THE BEST MATES
Quiet Men Should Wed Vivacious
Women, an English Opinion,
Expressed in Print.

Does the average man prefer the
demure, coy kind Of girl or the
bright and vivacious girl-in all proba-
bility a flirt-and which kind of
girl makes the better wife?" This is
the question on which a modern girl
asks opinion through a London news
paper.
II have read in your paper many
opinions on the modern girl given by
young men," she writes, "but Il have
not found an answer to the question
which countless other girls besides
myself would like answered.
'It seems to me that the average
man marries the coy, quiet girl, but
after a few years Of married life is
apt to seek the society Of the viva
cious girl, very often at the expense of
his wffes happiness
Here are some opinions of London
people:
Rev. C. H. Grundy, vicar Of st.
Peters, Brockley, believes in the at
traction of the opposite.
'T think the quiet man generally
marries, and generally should marry,
the vivacious GIRL" he says, "and the
bright, vivacious man, on the con-
trary, prefers and gets on better with
his opposite.
Some of the quietest men I have
known" he said, thoroughly enjoy
the vivaciousness of their wives.
Men like contrasts. You don't
want a replica of yourself. You want
variety. A wife who is your double
doubles your dullness.
1.-THE best wife is the contrast wife,
and If you ere both alike your home is
dull and monotonous."

EXPERIENCE ONLY WAY.

More than 40 per cent. Of all the
farmers interviewed by government
representatives believe that expert
ence is the only way to learn how to
farm. This percentage told agents
recently sent out by the department
of agriculture that they took no stock
in farmers Institutes, demonstration
agents, farm papers or department OF
agriculture publications as aids in
helping to make the soil more pro-
ductive.
Starting on motorcycles or on foot
four department agents have travelled
through Is states, visit ng every
farmer along the way and asking
questions. This inquiry revealed the
fact that of the farmers who got de-

NOT THAT KIND.

Key Pittman, new senator from Ne
gada, did much of his primary cam
paigning in an automobile, the auto
being the recognized mode of CONVEY
ance in that state of few railroads.
Far out in the wilderness one day
the machine broke down, Pittman
and his fellow-spellbinders wrestled
with it without avail. They needed
more tools than the box contained.
A hundred yards from the roadway
stood little shack. Pittman hailed it.
A broad-shouldered Swede emerged.
Hey" called Pittman, have you
got a monkey wrench
"Huh?" said the Swede.
81 said, have you got a monkey
wrench"
No; this no ban monkey ranch;
this ban sheep ranch" and he slammed
the door.
