 Secretary Peale's Circular Letter. This is the circular that is being sent out today to all the members of the association:
 Norwich. Conn. July is. 1914. This may remind all lovers of roqae that the time of the annual tourna- ment is rapidly approaching.
 In planning vacation trips and pleas ures it is important to keep in mind theN third Tuesday of August, and so arrange the itinerary that the week beginning Tuesday, Aug. IS. will be spent in Norwich. Conn.
 Nine courts, unsurpassed for excel lence, either in surface, border or other equipment (cement borders having been placed thereon). located in a spot noted for it's loveiiness, will furnish the field on which the game of roque, un- der the guidance of the officials of the National Roque association of Ameri- ca, will be seen in its perfection.
 It is hoped that every club in the country will be represented and that all will participate in the struggle for the championship
 Any club, by the payment of a fee of s2 at the annual meeting, which oc- CutS w CQIitSOdy, Aug 4S, may DcCOtHS a member of the association and be en- titled to representation by any num- Der of delegates, with power to vote. An additional fee of B Is collected of each playing delegate.
 The secretary will be pleased to aid any that may desire in procuring board at reasonable rates.
 An additional circular, giving further details. will be mailed you Aug. 1. By order of

How English Beauties
 Keep Faces Youthful

Christian Miller, F. c. l.. noted Eng fish health expert. attributes the early aging of American women mainly 70 the national nervousness" The wom- en of England, she says, can teach us the inestimable lesson of repose.
 Another valuable lesson to be learned from the English woman is that she does not go in much for cosmetics, the continual use of which must ruin any complexion. The beauty devotees of King Georges realm have the mercol- ized wax habit. a more wholesome looking and healthy. Ordinary mercol- ized wax, used like cold cream, rejuvc- mates the worst complexion. Women here may acquire the habit, this wax being obtainable at drug stores gem orally in the United States and Cam ada. It is applied at night and washed off in the morning. One ounce is suffi- cient to completely renovate a bad complexion. It has a peculiar action in keeping the face free from the parti- cles of dead and devitalized scarf skin which are constantly appearing.

for only grain and general farming.
The proportion of the total invest
ment that should be used as working
capital is equally as important as
size of investment. Generally speak
ing, about rs per cent to SO per cent
of the farmers investment is in real
estate, the other II per cen to rs
per cent being in livestock and other
equipment. This proportion will vary
according to the type of farming fol-
lowed. In regions where dairying is
the main enterprise, the amount of
working capital may represent ne
fourth of the entire investment.
A third point in the consideration
of the farmers investment is the
quality Of material in which working
capital is invested. This is especial
ly true in regard to livestock. Investi-
cations relating to profits in farming
show c%onclusively that the efficiency
of the animals to which crops are
fed Is one of the most important fac
tors in determining the farmers net
Income. This Is to be expected, since
On many farms in this country the
bulk of the crops is in reality sold to
the dairy herd o. to meat producing
animals. If these are of such poor
quality that they yield low returns
for their feed the income to the farm
er must be correspondingly small.
Hence, no matter how large the to-
tai investment, if the quality of the
equipment is deficient financial fail
are is inevitable.

The Farmers Income
And His investment

Washington, D. CA careful study
by government experts in regard tc
the profits made by a large nufnhe,
of farmers in different parts of the
United States shows that the size OF
the farm business is n of the most
important factors controlling the
| farmers income. The problem Of
how large an investment is needed In
order to carry on a certain type OF
farming to advantage is of the ut
most Importance. The amount OF
this investment will vary according
to the type of farming and to the re-
| gion selected.
In a survey of over 100 farms in an
irrigated district in Utah only three
farm owners with less than $4,000
total capital received a labor income
of more than 81 1000 for their years
work.
BY labor income in this cas- is
| meant what remains of the net in
| come after deducting 6 per cent for
invested capital and working capital;
in other words, what the farmer him
self receives for his years work and
supervision.
In a group of 35 of these men, who
had small farms and an average cap
ital of $5,345, the average labor in
come was $685.. One out of every
five received nothing for his labor
and made less than 5 per cent on his
farm investment. With high-priced
land this amount of capital gave him
too small an area to utilize to adj
vantage. If land were cheaper, SO
that a much larger area could be OBJ
tanned with this same money, then
$4,000 might be a sufficient invest
ment to give the farmer a substan-
tial income.
In the central states, where corn,
wheat, and oats are the prevailing
crops and where land is from $3.50 to;
$3.50 an acre, $4,000 would be en-
tirely too small an investment to
yield the owner a good income for
the reason that 40 to so acres, the to-
tai amount of land he could possibly
buy with this amount of money, would
not utilize his teams, machinery, or.
labor to the fullest advantage.
On the other hand, the number Of
acres Is not always a true measure,
as a big business can be conducted on
a small area. Twenty acres of truck
and small fruits may equal a 200
acre farm devoted to grain, hay, cat
tie; and hogs, It is the type of farm
ing that determines the number Of
acres necessary for efficient opera
ton. Many persons have made the
mistake of buying too high priced
land for successful general farming.
In other words. they paid truck farm
ing prices for land which on account
