Converse County Tries New Plan.

Converse County Tries New Plan.
The commissioners of Converse
county have recently purchased 3
White Good Roads truck for use
on highway construction, giving
preference to this machine after
lengthy investigation of various
kinds of road building machinery.
Concerning the truck and its use,
the Douglas Enterprise says:
"This machine will do the work
of n number of teams in less time
and it is believed that it will give
a great deal better satisfaction
than the old methods gave. This
county has already been at con-
siderable expense in fixing up its
roads and the result is good, but
with the new equipment our roads
will be far better and in fact tour
lists will remember them after driv-
ing over some of the highways in
the state.
This city is bound to see heavy
tourist travel over the Yellowstone
highway this year and this road
will be put is f~rst-class shape.
The machine cost the county $4,000
delivered here.
The White Good Roads truck
has many distinct advantages i'm
mediately recognized by the ex-
perienced highway builder. These
advantages have been established
in the actual service of county
commissioners, municipalities and
contractors.
at has a capacity to haul FIVE
tons at a speed of four to eight
miles per hour on average roads,
and it is built with a power dump
ing body to discharge its load in
thirty seconds. The body can be
elevated to any desired angle up
to forty-fve degrees and the
truck driven backward or forward,
spreading material in layers of
any desired thickness.
being equipped with an espec-
tally designed taiI-gate, having a
tripping device and lever for regu,.
latrng the opening, the spreading
operations can be conducte. with
remarkable precision. 1t will dump
It's load and get away quicker than
any other dumping unit and it
has the further advantage of wide
wheels which pack down and roll
the surface of the road over which
the material is being hauled.
by running back and fourth over
material which has been dumped
and spread, it rolls the surface as
thoroughly as it can be done with
a roller and without any added
cost for rolling. Instead of leav-
ing the surface of the road soft
and spongy, the wide wheels COM
press the surface firmly and uni
formly SO that the road sheds
water quickly and the surface re.
mains hard
The wheel equipment may be
adapted to meet the requirements
of any class Of work. When the
truck is used mainly for pulling
road machinery, the wheel rims
may be fitted with detachable
cIeats. Or, the standard, smooth
threads may be employed. Where
it is used for rolling crowned roads
the tru k may be fitted with wheels
having a smooth, cambered, or
beveled surface"

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So
Naturally That Nobody Can
Tell.

Hair that loses its color and lus-
ire, or when it fades, turns. gray,
dull and lifeless, is caused by lack
of sulphur in the hair. Our grand
mother made up a mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks
dark and beautiful, and thousands
of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade
of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair 80
naturally, 80 evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair after
q few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives
it an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to. the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention Of disease.-Adv.

What Marguerite Clark Heard Peo.
pie Say About Her.

In an article which Marguerite
Clark has written for the December
American Magazine, she says:
1.-TWO weeks ago I was in moving
picture theater with my sister, watch
ing one of my own pictures. Behind
me sat a woman who was telling the
man next to her all about me- She
was one of those persons who are
wise to everything. She knew so
much about me that you would have
been surprised that one head could
hold it all. According to her, I was
fifty years years old, had been three
times married, and had worked in
pictures ever since they We're invent
ed. We fully expected to hear her
talk about my grandchildren, but she
left the theater before she got 70
them. The fact that I did not look
fifty she attributed to the fact that I
spent most of my time being massaged
enameled and what not. If did all
the things the good lady accused me
of would never in the world have
any time for pictures"

MISS ALLENE FIELDS TELLS
OF KINDERGARTEN WORK

Miss Allene Fields held a very
interesting meeting in the Auditori-
UNI of the High School building
Thursday afternoon. The object of
this meeting was to outline a plan
of the work she hopes to do next year
with the children in the Kindergar-
ten. For the benefit of Mothers with
small children who were not present
| will try to tell all or some of her
plans.
First. Kindergarten is not a nurs-
cry, but it is child garden where
each child receives the attention that
he individually needs. She studies
the child, his interest and his in
stincts. From four to six has been
called the dramatic age of childhood.
Miss Fields took this special age and
outlined it on the board She gave
the characteristics and interest of
this age, and also the instincts func-
tioning at this time
Through the songs, stories, pic
lures, plays, and games, which she
will use during the year, sha hopes
to teach self control.

troduce him to good literature, to
help him form good habits, to do
