MIR. FARM FER

Do you want to sell your farm or are you satisfied to live on it and help produce things the world needs today more than it ever has? If you wish to sell how much better would 1t look to prospective buyer if he can get out to see it without getting stuck in a mudhole or breaking a spring on his auto in making the trip? How much more would it be worth if it was with in a mile or two of concrete road for him to travel on in hauling his pro- ducts to market?
 If you are satisfied on the farm and expect to stay there, has it ever oc- cured to you how much it costs every year for repairs on harness, buggy, wagon, auto, etc. to say nothing of the mental anguish and time lost in going from the farm to the town in which you do your business:
 Have you stopped to consider that a 40-acre ranch with a taxed valuation of $100.00 per acre will only cost you from 51s to dollars per $1000.00 per year to pay the interest on $2,000, 900 to build from 125 miles to 135 miles o1 conrete roads over this valley which vii place every farm within 3 miles oi one of the said roads on which to haul his hay, grain, milk, vegetables oI whatnot to the railroad and market?
 Have you stopped to figure that you can raise tons of hay per acre anG | that they are now paying from g tt l $2.50 per ton to haul it to the railroad

saving of s32. There would also be saving of at least 15 per cent on gaso- line which would mean cents per mile or in 1000 miles, a years run, 5000. The average repair bill including brake Innings. broken bolts, loose bodies, etc. caused by jolting and twisting on poor roads will be from s40.00 to S75.00 which will easy be cut in half with good roads, making another saving of say $30.00. The depreciation on the car in one year is from s50.00 to S100.0O which would easily be reduced one half on concrete roads, making a s35 saving. Summing up the savings thus shown for one years use of a car makes SIT. Taking all of these fig ures together the saving on Ford car for one year with good roads to travel on would pay the interest on the $2,000,000 bonds at per cent interest, on 156 Ford cars valued at $500 each. 1t would pay the interest on twenty six homes valued at s3,000 each or nineteen 40-acre farms assessed at S100 per acre.
 Getting stuck in a mudhole and pay ing a Mexican s3 to pull you out will pay the road tax on your car for four years. Doubling the mileage on one rear tire will pay the interest on two homes valued at s3,500 each. Can you beat this for an investment?
 To the man who is against any and all bond issues, any public improve ments or any progressive develop ments of our resources we haven't a word to say.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 LIFELESS GRAY HAIR
Look younaI Common garden Sage and Sulphur darken so naturally
 nobody can tell

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyern's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so nat urally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a 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 its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abun- dant.--Ady.

Showing in a concrete way the routes it is proposed to improve with per manent highways, a map has been completed which, almost at a glance, shows the main highways 1t is planned to pave if the good roads bonds are voted. It is the hope to make the system one so comprehensive in every way that no farmer will be more than three miles from paved artery lead ing to the various community centerS, Such as Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Glen dale, Buckeye and so forth.
 The presentation of this map above is the first general information given as to the proposed route of the good roads system. Much preliminary work has been done in planning a system which will do the greatest good to the greatest number. If every road in the county could be permanently paved there would be no serious problem in laying out such a system, aside froU that of raising very large sum of money, but to make the proposed bond issue money do the most good has re- quired much study, which the Maricopa County Good Roads committee has cheerfully given the project.
 Careful estimates have been made to show what can be done with the money it is proposed to extend for the county good roads system and as a result 1t is figured the system as shown by the map may be completed with the funds asked for.
 Good roads are an asset which only those who have enjoyed them can fully appreciate. In California they are | placed second only to climate in their power to bring settlers into the state Those who pay annually thousands of dollars for the privilege Of being l bumped over bad roads know how steer 1 the bill they foot is-a bill big enough to afford a sinking fund which would retire good roads bonds when due, with 1 interest

that it could be hauled for from 75c to S1 per ton on a good road, that five tons per acre on 40 acres or 200 tons would mean saving of from $250 to $500 per year and that amount of money would pay per cent interest on s2.000,000 of road bonds for from 21s to sections of land? Do you know that the breaking of a rear spring of Ford auto in one of the many chuck holes over the valley would pay the interest for l year on those bonds for an S0-acre ranch?
 Just a few minutes of careful con- sideration on this subject and you will find that it would be money in your pocket if it costs twice as much as contemplated.

MIR. AUTOMOBILE OWNER

Some of you may figure that s2,- 100000 spent for good roads in this country is beyond intelligent consid- eration. This would have been true 100 years ago but the world today counts it's expenses, incomes, etc, by billions, not millions or thousands. What is s2,000,000 to a county of the size and wealth of this when you con- slider that it produced $S,000,000 in cotton alone this year to say nothing of dairying, grain, scock. etc. which will bring it up to between S25,000,0 900 and S30,000,000?
 Now look at it from your own per- sonal standpoint as an automobile owner, taking Ford car, as a basis to figure from, which is way below the average, the larger and heavier cars being proportionately more ex- pensive. It is estimated that. a set of tires will average about 1000 miles on the roads as they exist today which would be doubled if we had concrete roads. A set of tires costs s64 which in doubling the mileage would mean a

Suit by Mesa School Board

In yesterdays Republican was the report of a statement made by Dr. F. D.. Rowell of Gilbert, before the Mesa Commercial clab, regarding the suit brought by the board of trustees Of Mesa Union High school to test the constitutionality of the recent legis- iatfve enactment under which the Gilbert district withdrew from the Mesa High school district and estab- lished its own high school. Seeking a presentation of their side from mem bers of the Mesa board, The Repub- lican was informed that they had no active campaign to make and did not cafe to make any formal statement. However, the following was learned 10 be practically the attitude of the trustees of the union high school.
 The suit was not brought as an an- tagonistic, but a friendly suit at law to determine the status of the present union district. The Gilbert school is the first that attempted under the new law to withdraw from any Union dis trict. Naturally as in the Mesa school, there are yet other grade schools com bined into union high school districts over the state, and the trustees of the local school are trying to find out just where they will stand in the coming years in union districts having been formed with the consent of all portions of the area and population included shall be permitted to withdraw and leave the district greatly reduced and the burden upon the local taxpayers more than should justly be their share
 So much for the attitude of the board of trustees of the Union High school They however wish it emphasized that they are in no way seeking unduly to bring the matter into the public prints and the above is permitted in order to show that the present suit is not brought with any selfish view toward hindering the growth of the enterpris- ing little village of Gilbert.
