LET'S GO! WHERE? TO THE
NORTHERN WIS. STATE FAIR
SEPTEMBER is TO Fl

The Fair management promises to
the people the most elaborate pro-
grams, the largest exhibits, the fast
est horses, the biggest agricultural
display, the most artistic arrange
ment of booths in the Merchants
Building, as we'll as the best free
attractions and fireworks ever pro-
grammed at our great Fair.
Sunday, Sept. 16, we promise an
elaborate Sacred and patriotic Con-
cert in the afternoon by Ewing's Fa-
nous Zouave Band with lady SOLO
list, and in the evening Patriotic
Fireworks and Tableaus participated
by twelve ladies dressed to represent
the Allied Nations. This program
represents the Red Gross, Military
and Allied Nation Tableaus. The
paraphernal1a for carrying out this
program has been obtained at great
cost by the Fair management and
we promise something extraordinary.
Fireworks including the above Pa
triotic Tableaus will also be given
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings.
In our race program we have Sc
cured a number of horses that raced
at the Minnesota State Fair, includ-
ing the horse, "The Black Bass"
that won the 2:08 pace at Hamline.
Also Nick Mayburn, that was in this
same race. This was the race that
went six heats and was holly con-
tested and we can guarantee that
you will see some fast stepping in
our races.
The Automobile Show promises to
be a leading feature of the Fair, as
| all dealers have engaged space for
an exhibit.
Seeing the need of more accommO-
dations, an addition to the Rest Cot
tage has been built and nurses and
matrons will be in daily attendance
to attend the needs of the sick or
injured.
The Heath's United shows, one of
the best carnival companies on the
road, has been engaged and will sup
ply the amusement entertainment on
the Pike. The Carnival Company is
a clean up-to-date organization and
| no show will he allowed on the
grounds of any immoral character
and that is not sanctioned by the
State Board.
| We want you to come. Plan tC
spend at least two days, as you can
not see the enormous exhibits and
attractions in less time than this.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Trv Crandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bottle
of this old time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients for about
SO cents. y Everybody uses this prepare
ton now, because no one can possibly tell
that you darkened your hair, as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or 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 applii-
cation or two, your hair becomes beauti-
fully dark, thick and glossy and you
look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet
requisite 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF. disease. y

FARM LOANS
FOR RUSk FARMERS
Appraiser Apker Writes to News
Budget Telling How It's Done

Bert M. Apker, appraiser for the
Federal farm loan board in the dis
trict in which Rusk county is locat-
ed, and who is also cashier of the
Chetek bank, writes to the News
Budget that Notwithstanding the fact
there is no association at Lady
smith, the farmers of Rusk county
may secure loans. In fact any far
mer anywhere may obtain loan OF
his security qualities under the rules.
Blanks may be obtained from Mr..
Apker by addressing him at Chetek.
Mr.. Apker says:
"When a man secures a loan from
the Federal Bank, his loaning trou-
bles are over. He does not have to
face periodical renewals with their
accompanying expenses By paying
six per cent interest, his principal
never comes due. When his last
interest payment is made his slate
is washed clean. In other words,
he pays five per cent interest and
the other one per cent amortises the
loan at the end Of thirty-six years,
the time for which these loans are
made. The loans are payable in
whole or in part after the first five
years"
County agent Householder while
having little time to give to this
branch of effort, will give informa-
cured,

FOR POTATO SHIPPERS

l Don't injure the selling and
storing quality of your pota-
toes by careless digging.
2 DON'T glut the fall market
and injure your winter mar
ket by placing large guam
titles of ungraded stock on
the market at harvesting
time.
3 Don't ship any frost-dam-
aged potatoes. 1t is disas-
trous.
4 DON'T demoralize the al
ready overburdened transpor-
tation facilities by shipping
Gull potatoes. Unless pota-
toes are extremely high in
price, culls will not bring
transportation charges.
5 DON'T overlook the advan-
tages of machine sizers."
They are proving of great
value in many shipping Sec
tons.
g. Don't expect machine sizers
to grade for quality-only hui
man hands can grade out the
defective tubers.
z Don't mix No. l and NO. 2
grade potatoes. There are
customers who desire each
separately, but do not want
them mixed.
s Don't overlook the potato
grade recommended by the
United States department of
agriculture and the United
States food administration.
