Reclaim The Waste Land

Here Is story the State County
Agents are telling md you should
know II. A farmer living at Ben
iamin, Utah, had 1-2 acres OF waste
alkali land from which he received
small or no returns. He seeded II to
sweet clover and harvested $500 lbs
OF clover seed which he sold for IL
cents a pound netting him $4,000.
Four and one half tons Of clover hay
we're sold for $4,000 making total
OF s4.32.0O.
The clover crop yielded large re-
turns besides taking the alkali from
the ground. There are many waste
acres that could be made to do the
same thing. Ask the County Agent
about II. He Is the man who gathers
facts about the best things that farm
ers are doing and 10 always willint
and glad to pass them on for ever!

BUSINESS is PICKING UP
Sheet and Tin Plate Mills Show Signs
of Greater Activities.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 2.-Business is
reviving in the sheet and tin plate
mills throughout the country, accord
ing to John Williams. president of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, who returned
Thursday night from a visit to a num-
Der of mill towns in the district.
Very few plants, he said, We're
working on war contracts, the bust
ness being for domestic consumption
Mr. Williams credits this improved
condition to a revival which has been
coming slowly for months, but more
particularly to the acceptance by the
workmen of the reduced scale of
wages adopted last week.
This, he said, permits the independ-
ent manufacturers to again go into the
market for business, and many of
them already have placed their mills
in operation.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
It's War Time Aspect.

London, April 2.-The women of
England are doing their duty. They
are taking care of the wounded, or if
they cannot assist in work of that
kind they are adding their savings to
promote the good work. They are
knitting and sewing for the soldiers
at the front. The suffra gists have
given so little trouble to the govern
ment that it will undoubtedly soften
the hearts of those in Parliament
since the ''militants" have turned ali
their energies to aid the fighting men
England, and so suffrage may soon
come after this terrible war is over.

Try this. Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur

taking one strand at a time.

When you darken your hair with Sage
Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell be-
cause it's done so naturally, so evenly.
Preparing this mixture, though, at
home, is mussy and troublesome. For
so cents you can buy at any drug store

Sage and Sulphur Compound" You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair taking one small strand at a time.
BY morning all gray hair disappears,

your hair becomes beautifully dark
