GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which fs
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge OF
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

PROBLEM OF FARM LAB0RERS
Wages and Hours of Work Compared
With Those of City Cousins Made
by University Expert.

Few things could be more decep-
tive than the inference drawn by some
farm laborers on comparing their
wages and hours of work with those
of their city cousins" says o. K. john
son of the University of Missouri col
lege OF agriculture. after a very care
full study of the farm labor problem
in one Missouri county and general
review of the situation in the state as
whole. He finds that the average
Missouri farm laborer works about
9.64 hours day for 1913 cents an
hour IN money, and board.
When employed by the month, the
farm hand receives an average OF So
with, or 500 without board. During
harvest time, he may be temporarily
employed at an average of about $3.50
day with board or 81 a day without
board. The average wages day dur
ing other seasons is from $l.1O 10
Sl.40 These wages may not seem
very high as compared with from Is
to 30 cents an hour in the city, but
this is where the fallacy of comparing
such incomes begins to appear. The
city laborer is probably more likely
| to find himself out of work without
any fault of his own and will certain
ly have to spend much more for board.
room, and practically every other item

| greater temptation to spend money
foolishly.
| Ii has been estimated that during
the last twenty years wages have in
creased 90 per cent in the manutac-
turing industries and sc per cent on
farms. indicating that the lot of the
farm laborer is improving more rapid
ly; although, of course, such figures
tell us nothing about his welfare as
compared with that of his city cousin,
either now or twenty years ago.
Perhaps one of the greatest sur
prises to be found in Mr.. Johnson S
figures centers about the length OF the
work day on the farm. In the in
dustries there has been an agitation
for a reduction to a ten-hOur day. then
to an eight-hour day, but the Missouri
farm laborer already enjoys advan'

BIG GAINS BY COOPERATION
kentucky State Agent Explains nc"
Farmers and Merchants Can ProtIt
by Working Together.

How farmers and local merchants
can cooperate to their mutual ad-
vantage was explained by Geoffrey
Morgan of Richmond, KY, state agent
for the United States department OF
agriculture.
The average farmer, whose knowl-
edge of marketing is limited, feels
that the local merchant has but one
aim. and that is to buy his products
as cheaply as possible, while the local
merchant feels aggrieved that the
farmers too frequently purchase i'm
plements and goods away from home.
The solution is an organization
through which farmers and mer-
chants may cooperate. Mr.. Morgan
cited some examples of how local mer-
chants have aided farmers, thereby
gaining their good will and increasing
their own wealth. In one county they
found the price of fertilizer too high.
The merchants got together and ar
ranged shipments that reduced the
price, aided the farmers, unable to
pay cash, to secure it, as a conse-
uuence increasing their own influence
in that territory and increasing the
farmers purchasing capacity.
In another instance the county
agent foresaw that many hundreds of
bushels of apples would rot on the
ground because there were too many
for the local market. He took up the
proposition with the local merchants,
/ who disposed of the apples at fair
price in a distant city, for the farm
ers, and themselves looked after the
sorting and packing.

WHY DONKEY WAS IN CLOVER
Ciassed as Unusual" Though
Possibly Not Cruel"

Not very long ago there lived in
England an old man who always rode
on a donkey to his daily work, and
tethered him while he labored on the
roads or wherever else he might be.
1t had been pretty plainly limited to
him by one of the local landowners
that he was suspected of putting it
in the fields to Craze at other peoples
expense.
Eth, squire, cud ma do SIGH thing

One day the gentleman was riding
along the road, when he saw the old

The problem of finding ready mar

shipper. particularly when he has not

best solution in such case is to make
use of the cooperative shipping club
plan. which has been found very salts

plan is as follows:
A sufficient number Of hogs to make
I'D a carload is ready for market. A
car is ordered and placed. Each ship
per brings in his hogs and they are
marked with paint or by clipping GER
tain markings on their backs or hams.
A record is made of the number sup
piled by each man and the markings.
This record is mailed to the commits
sion firm to which the shipment is
consigned. Upon arrival at market the
hogs are assorted according to owner
ship and according to the class in
which they will sell and each is sold
on its merits. The costs, including

rated and deducted, and each ship.

and a check in payment of his share
