Good Roads Notes

The poorer the road-the fewer the
population. This Is in substance what
was said more than five years ago in a
report of the United States Office of
Public Roads. The wording was as
follows:
"An examination of the statistics of
population in counties possessing first
class roads will reveal the fact that in
almost every case the population has
increased, while the sections of the
country which have lost in population

"One is just about as bad as the

Experience proves that the mosquito

is all buzz and singer.

TEMPE OFFICE Farmers and Merchants Bank Phone 31

MESA, July 31.-A Mexican giving his name as Felipe Padillo was ar rested and brought before Judge kingsbury yesterday charged with at tempting to rob Gilpin Thompson of Mesa. The holdup occurred near the Franklin school in the western part or town at about II o'clock at night Thompson was going home when he was accosted by a Mexican with an open knife in his hand. The proposed victim showed fight and received slight cut before the woud-be robber took to flight
 Thompson hurried home and at once called the officers who arrested a Mexican whom they found in the old abandoned depot in that vicinity. He was brought before Thompson who at once identified him. Yesterday morn- Ing the officers returned to the scene of the crime and tracked the Mexican from the place of the crime to the de- pot where he had been caught. He was bound over to the superior court even though he insisted to Judge Klngsbury that the judge could not legally do so because the knife was not in evidence. He appeared to think he had destroyed all evidence with the throwing away of the weapon.

 Common garden sage brewed into g heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri- ant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation If your hair is fading. gray or dry. scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though. is troublesome. An easier way Is to get the ready -to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores. known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.' thus avoiding a lot nf muss.
 While wispy. gray. faded hair Is not sinful. we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, hecause 1t does 1t so naturally, 50 evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time: by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an- other application or two, your hail becomes beautifully dark. glossy. soft and luxuriant.
