FALL FLOWING A SAVING.
Thousands OF Dollars Can Be Saved by
Destroying White Grubs.


IF farmers will plow. us soon as pos
sible. the fields upon which they intend
to raise next year corn or other crops,
which are grown in hills. they very
likely will save thousands Of dollars"
This Is the appeal which James g..
Sanders, entomolgist for the univer-
sity Of Wisconsin agricultural expert
mcnt station is making to the farmers
OF the state.
The saving will come from the de-
struction OF millions of white grubs.

which are now in the ground and
which. unless killed. will do untold
damage 10 young crops next spring.
Mr.. Sanders predicts that. unless
control measures are soon adopted, the
loss by these pests next season will be
exceedingly heavy.
AS June beetles these pests" says
MIR. Sanders. do but very little harm.
but next spring. us full grown grubs.
they will be capable Of doing untold
damage. feeding almost entirely on
living roots. preferably corn. timothy.
potatoes and stra wberries."
While fall blowing and deep disking
are Of great value in destroying the
grubs. Mr.. Sanders does not recon-.
mend them as entirely satisfactory
means Of Graduating these pests. In
addition to this precautiOn. farmers
should carefully plan their rotation for
next year so as to plant only those
crops which are least susceptible to the
grubs. such as small grains. clover.
vetch. etc. on land that was covered
with heavy vegetation last spring.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Try This! Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur
and Brush It Through Your Hair,
Taking One Strand at Time

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and troub-
lesome. For so cents you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to.use
tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. BY morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, af
ter another application or two. your
hair becomes beautifully darkened,
glossy and luxuriant. You will also
discover dandruff is gone and hair
has stopped falling.
Gray. faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign Of old age, and as
we all desire a youthful and attrac.
tive appearance. get busy at once
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and
look years younger. (12)

CROWD GATHERS AND
EMPLOYER PROTESTS
Miss Melinda Scott Says Girls
Work Under Conditions That
Are Intolerable.

What restaurant owners fear may de-
velop into a general strike of Mattresses
throughout the city and result In a
Mattresses union. involving union hours
and wages. got under Roadway yesterday,
when the women walters Of the Conrad
Brothers restaurant. at s64 Broadway,
held an open air meeting at 18th ST and
Broadway and talked strike.
Furthermore. the Conrad mattresses
have appealed to the Women's Trade
Union for assistance, and Miss Melinda
Scott, its president, has championed their
cause with enthusiasm. Last night Miss
Scott insisted that within a short time
there would be Mattresses union in New
York City, strong enough to enforce its
reasonable demands. and pledged herself
to proselyte for such a union.
THE conditions under which mattresses
work at present" said Miss Scott, "are
simply intolerable. The girls are not
treated with respect. they are not paid
enough and they get the vilest kind OF
food"
Leon weinstock. a member OF the COM
mission on new prisons, is the proprietor
Of Conrad Brothers restaurant. Mr.. Wefn-
stock took gloomy view Of the situation
last night. I'VE are IN for a lot of
trouble" he said. II recognized the ring
leader Of the trouble in my place as the
girl who headed the general strike Of Chi
cago mattresses"
The trouble in the Conrad restaurant
started last week. when Alfred Conrad,
the manager, hired five new mattresses TO
work during the rush lunch hour period,
from II TO 2. He took them on at 81 a
week and gave them two meals day. He
charges that they had hardly started TO
work before they started 10 agitate, and
proved better agitators than workers.
They demanded s. a week and the two
meals a day. In retaliation Mr.. Vein
stock directed that they shouldn't have
any meals, II is said. Then they struck
and began picketing In front OF the res
taurant.
On Saturday, according to Miss Scott,
both Weinstock and Conrad called on her
TO talk the situation over. During the
call. she says, Weinstock exclaimed
well, If they don't come back 10 Worh
for me I'll see to it that they don't WORK

ed before the restaurant carrylhs

Conrad countered by having DIG
p!acard printed and stuck up in front OF
his restaurant IT read: 1--WE have thirty

Don't withdraw you patronage.
Then came the open air meeting ~
which, 1t is said. about all the res'au-
