Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

There is nothing so destructive to

WHAT A JEWELRY firm DID
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

S. Joseph & Sons, Of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm 1t.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion, Alberta. They put 240 acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem
bers of the firm says:
II have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
Of Champion, in the Province of AL
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels Of
wheat from 240 acres,' this being an
average of A bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. 1 Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
$1.S5 per bushel, making total return
of $1,000, or an average of $S1.7O per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands"
1t might not be uninteresting to read
the report of G. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 100 acres at Cham
pion, Alberta, for $1,000 in December,
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot Of
it, and threshed 4,487 bushels Grade
No. 2 Northern.
Mr.. Wright, being thorough busi-
ness man, gives the cost Of work, and
the amount realized. These figures
show that after paying for his land
and cost of operation he had $2,472.67
left.
