MANY NEW sILos IN RUsk CO.

Rusk county farmers are building
a number of new silos this summer.
According to Glen Householder,
county representative, there are
nearly 500 silos now built in Rusk
county, and by the next census the
total will be considerably more.
According to national survey
compiled by Hoard's Dairyman in
the summer of 1916, the grand total
Of silos in the United states amount
ed to 33O,16O, Wisconsin leading with
So, 1872, and New York following with
42,S46.
Wisconsin's silo census has in
creased since then, the latest figures
placing the state total between $4,000
and $4,000 as estimated by the crop
reporting bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The nations surveyors reported
five states with more than 10000
silos These were Illinois, Iowa,
OulO, IuuIoHd, oIu L Onhoy Nv dHlo,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and
Vermont possessed more than 10000
and less than 10000. One state had
but three silos,
The same al soirty gives the av-
erage capacity Of wisconsin silos
as 12O tons. New York's average
silo capacity is 81 tons, while an
eastern state is the smallest of all,
the silos there bieng rated at 40 tons
average capacity The largest state
average is in Colorado, the 1900
silos there having $50 tons capacity
Wisconsin counties are all taking
active part in the statewide silo
building campaign now in full blast,
led by the college of Agriculture, the
State Council of Defense, and local
farm bureaus in charge of temporary
field agents of regular agricultural
representatives.
ers' Association are presenting a
solid line in the silo advance, and
are offering financial aid to farmers
who need funds for this purpose. The
bankers know that a silo is
worthwhile investment. They know
that it takes money to increase pro-
duction, and they are willing to meet
the farmers half way.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and attractive with a
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair took on that dull, faded or
strcaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect. By
asking 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 ingred-
tents, all ready to use, for about so cents
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A welf-known downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound now because it darkens
50 naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied-it's SO easy to
use, too. You simply dampen comb or
soft brush and draw it through your hair,
taking one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to it's
natural color and looks glossy, soft and
beautiful. This preparation is delight
full toilet requisite. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease. -

sets Plans For Pushing

Washington, July 25.-Before Secre
tary McAdoo' appeared before the
finance committee it was understood
that the $5,O00,0Oo,0OO represented
the estimates of the war and navy de-
partments, and that he would propose
an additional billion dollars to be
raised by taxation, and seek author
ity for an additional credit Of $780,.
100000. Whether the latter sum was
to be in bonds or certificates of indebt.
edness was not disclosed.
Submit New Budget.
Washington, July 24.-The war rev
enue bill for s1,672,000.000 has been
checked on its way to passage be-
cause 1t is held. not to provide nearly
enough for the requirements of the
army and navy In the war. The
amount needed, according to the lat.
est estimates, is 100000, 900. Sec
rotary Of the Treasury McAdoo has
submitted to Congress new war ex.
pense budget
Reformation of Plans.
Back of McAdoo's request lies al
most a complete reformation Of the
American military plans. Impressed
with the apparent unreliability Of the
Russian offensive the President and
his military advisers are rapidly
swinging around to the original plans
of the army general staff for an expe-
dictionary force of over a million and
a half men.
This will require that the national
army be increased from the half mil
lion originally planned to almost a
million.
Needs Funds for New Army.
Senator Simmons was just about to
introduce the war revenue bill in the
Senate, when Mr.. McAdoo arrived at
the Capitol with the startling request
Of the administration. The introduo-
ton Of the bill was Immediately
checked.
Il asked the committee to withhold
further action on the revenue at this
ume," said the secretary later, be
cause / have been notified that the
War department needs funds to be
porting the great new army"
Secretary McAdoo presented the
new war department estimate five
minutes before Chairman Simmons of
the Senate Finance committee was to
have introduced the old measure, COM
pleted after weeks of labor. This bill
Is now expected to be held up in
definitely.
The new estimates are very much
In excess Of those already presented,
and will necessitate raising revenue
not contemplated when the Senate FL
nance committee revised the war tax
bill.
Excess Profits Hit.
The new situation threw all the
plans for pushing the war tax bill
awry. Senate managers had no idea
when the big measure for raising the
revenues for conducting the war
would move forward.
While no official intimation of the
source of the new revenue was given
before Secretary McAdoo went before
the finance committee, there were In
dications that It would be drawn prin-
cipally from excess profits and estates
taxes. probably some increases in in
come taxes and minor increases in
miscellaneous taxes. Official figures
are said to show that excess profits

TAINTED MINDS

An ambitious young man with a
splendid educ and magnifi
cent body inherited from long
line Of physically fit ancestors,
married the daughter of the richest
man in town. This girl was of a
rather low grade mental type. In
deed. she was so stupid that, had
it not been for her fathers money,
she would never have been looked
at twice by so brilliant a beau.
Her father was square type of
man who realized that his sor-in
laws life would not be an easy
one at best, and so he presented
the newly welded couple with a
handsome cash wedding present
This the young man put TO work in
business, and, by means of SO good
a start as it furnished, he soon be-
came an independent and wealthy
man in his own right.
In the meantime, two children,
a boy and girl, had been born and
the young father became absorbed
in them. His wife was so dull wit
ted that she had never been much
of a companion and he was looking
forward to the possibility of making
chums of his children. But, as they
grew older, the fact could not be ig.
nored that they had inherited their
mothers sluggish type Of mind.
The father sought the counsel of
physicians and put the children in
the best of schools and spared no
expense to overcome the blur in
herited r o N their feebleminded
mother. The results that however
powerful money may be in some di-
rectious, it can succeed to only a
very limited extent in sharpening
dull wits.
Future happiness, genuine sue
cess in life, and the very welfare of
the nation require that there shall
be as few marriages as possible of
this character. Scientists have stud
led the persistent tendency Of feeble
mindedness to perpetu ate itself
throug h hereditary transmission
from parents to offspring. Their
findings are most depressing.
Extreme cases of feebleminded-
