GERMANY'S PAPER AGE

Germany has come upon the paper
age. A recent advertisement in the
Berlin Vossiche Zietung appeared in
this form:
Paper stuff for dresses and aprons.
Paper stuff for business suits.
Paper stuff for manufactures of
shoes.
Paper stuff for upholstery and tap
estries.
Paper stuff for bags, pillowcases
and mattresses.
Paper stuff for trunks and bags.
The imperial Government four
years ago shocked the world by hold
ing in high disdain certain treaty
which Chancellor Won Bethnann- Holl-
veg designated "scrap of paper"
Has an ironical fury now descended
upon Germany in the hour of her
judgment and decreed that, whereas
she has brought pandemonium to
earth to crafty her lust for power
and glory, she shall now dress in pa
per, walk in paper, sleep on paper, sit
on paper furniture, travel in paper and
be buried in paper? Such appears to
be the case. Germany shall not for
get paper, even though she must be
compelled to eat it.-Paper Age.

THE MISSOURI FARM FLOCK
EGG-LAYING CONTEST

Something different in the way of
an egg-laying contest is being car
ried on in Missouri this year, where
instead of having few selected fowls
competing against the selected best
of other breeders under the care of an
expert, whole focks of hens on the
home farm and under the care of their
owners are matched against similar
flocks in various other parts Of the
state. This is not only a contest to
see which hens can lay the most eggs,
but is also a demonstration to show
how proper management will increase
the egg production and the profitable
ness of the farm poultry flock.
Favorable weather and careful at.
tention combined to give the hens in
the contest an unusually high egg
production for March. The 14,478
hens in the contest for this month laid
total Of 208,457 eggs or an average
of 14.5 eggs per hen. The White
Rocks, with an average production of
II eggs per bird made the best breed
average for the month, but were close
ly pushed by the White Leghorns, with
an average of 1877 eggs, and the
White Wyandottes with 1865 eggs.
The highest individual flock record
was made by 80 Brown Leghorn hens
in Holt county, with an average of Fl
eggs per hen. This flock was only a
few eggs ahead of rs White Wyan-
dottes in Cole county with an ave-
rage production of 20.9 eggs per bird.
The average income from eggs for
each farm was $60.70 and the ave-
rage expense for feed $3.50, leaving
net return of $4,000 for each farm.
In addition to the eggs listed in the
above income, 81 farms set 2,145 doz-
en- eggs during the month or an av-
erage of 265 eggs per farm. Forty
five Of the farms reported 6,192 chicks
on April first or an average of 1873
chicks per farm.
1t is interesting to note that the
$4,000 average profit for March ex-
ceeded by a considerable margin the
average total profit of $29.61 for the
four winter months 1t is also note
worthy that the 1876 eggs produced by
the average hen in this contest be-
tween November first and April first
is more than half of the GAS eggs
credited by the 1910 census as the an
nual production Of the average Mis-
souri, hen.

A GENIUS AT STORY TELLING

Did you ever have any trouble hold
ing the attention of child in Sunday
school? Perhaps you have said, at
can't be DONE. But if we follow the
paths laid out by nature, it is entire
ly possible. Not only possible; it is
easy. We must endeavor to educate
the child largely through the imagi-
nation, by means of carefully selected
stories. Nothing else so gains the at
tention. During the story hour the
discipline Of the school maintains it.
self.
The ability to tell stories effective
ly, is the best intellectual equipment
for teaching. Miss Beard has phe-
nominal ability along this line. She
has been unusually successful in her
work with children of the Sunday
school. During the past years she
has been superintendent of the chill
dren's division of the State Associa-
ton. AS such, she has lent inspiration
to many teachers all over Missouri.
Don't fail to hear her at the County
Sunday School Convention, to be held
in Pennington on May % and 20. She
is q genius. Let her help YOU.

POINTERS FOR MERCHANTS

The shortest distance between buy
err and seller is advertising. ..
1t is the business of advertising to
sell goods. The advertiser must de-
liver them.
There is no mystery in good adver-
Using. Unless advertising pays the
advertiser, it is not good.
It's the croaker who's afraid of
croaking who croaks. The man who
isn't afraid of croaking isn't croaker.
Advertising assists the merchand-
User to deliver the goods at the lowest
cost and in the quickest time. That's
service.
Practicing what you preach is the
first step. Intelilgently advertising
your practices is whole lot more pro-
gressive and remunerative.
Spending little money to get more
money is a phase of better business
which appeals to the multitude and is
practiced by the few.
Kaiser Bill got more free write-ups
than anyone we knew of and now look
at the darned thing Yes, there is
more to advertising than getting your
name in the papers!-Ex.

WHY NOT GET A
PUREBRED BULL?

This question was answered by the
dairymen of Webster county about a
year ago. They found it had been
costing them $l9.75 year each for the
service of a SIS bull, while each man
had a "scrub" bull around his place.
After organizing a cooperative bull
association it cost them only $3.50 a
wear each for the use of $3.50 bull,
and in addition they have only seven
bulls to maintain while before organ
izing they had eighteen.
The Webster county dairymen had
been getting along as best they could
with "scrub" bulls, each feeling that
he could not afford to pay the price
of a high-grade bull. They came to
the point, however, where they real
lied they could not improve their
herds until they stocked up with
some well-bred bulls. Then, to ans
wer their need, thirty-eight Jersey
breeders met and formed Jersey bull
association. They divided themselves
into seven we'll arranged communities,
or "blocks", and purchased a bull for
each "block."
In selecting their bulls these men
determined to be satisfied only with
the best. One of their bulls is a son
of the Imported Jap; another is
grandson of Spcrmfield Owls Eva
with a record of 1241 pounds OF but
ter $50 per cent basis), and the rest
are equally well bred. The average
records of the dams of these bulls for
four generations back is 622 pounds
of butter, showing that they carry
some of the best breeding to be had.
When one thinks of an animal OF
this breeding he Immediately has Wis
ions of fortune tied up in bull. And
vet these men bought their bulls by
simply levying an assessment OF S6
on each COW a man wished to breed to
them. AS has been stated, these sew
en- communities purchased seven
bulls. Every two years the bulls are
aIternated in numerical order among
the community. So that with the orig
inal cost price a man has the use OF
such bull for as long time as these
bulls are serviceabie.
But the economy of bull service is
only minor point in comparison witt
other advantages these men are de
irving. Through the use of these bulls
they are building up their herds to 9
much more profitable standard. More
than this, most of them are working
gradually into the purebred business
and are building toward strong Jer'
sey center. In this way, as COM
munity, they can advertise and at.
tract buyers that no individual could
ever hope to do.
This county has made move that
any other community can do just as
well, with this or any other breed OF
dairy cattle. 1t is a practical bust
ness proposition that works and it
works to the advantage of all con-
cerned. And again the question oc-
ours "Why not get purebred bull
when you can have one for less than
scrub" The Extension Service Of
the University of Missouri College Of
Agriculture will help any group of
farmers to make the right start.

SERVICES OF HOME
DEMONSTRATORS IN DEMAND

The conviction that help may be
gained from the services of home
demonstration agent is growing on
the women of Missouri and is evidenc-
ed by the calls for assistance covering
a wide range of duties on the part of
the agent.
In one county the home demonstra-
ton agent was called upon to help
select wall paper and rugs for three
rooms. The paper that had been pre-
viously used was dark and of large
pattern, and the same description ap-
piled to the rugs. The agent advised
and the advice was accepted, the buy
ing of light, restful paper, and rugs,
with warm of color since the rooms
to be decorated were north ones.
One woman in st. Louis attended a
demonstration and at the close told
the agent that she was in despair be-
cause the amount of money she had to
spend for food would not purchase the
necessary amount. Upon the sugges-
ton of the agent, she doubled her
milk purchase, cut down that of meat,
and increased the amount of fruit and
vegetables, She returned to a subse-
quent meeting and reported that her
money not only purchased sufficient
amount of food but that the family
felt better for the change of diet.
Among the negro women the COM
plants of not sufficient money for
food and clothing are more frequent.
The negro home demonstration agent
helped one despairing woman by res
cuing five pairs of children's shoes
from the discard, half-soling them,
adding new buttons and putting them
back in service.

Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its Natural Color and
 LuStre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcoho. added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation im- proved by the addition of other in- gredients in large bottle at little cost, at drug stores, kown as "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com- pound," thus avoiding lot of muss.
 Whil gray, faded hair is not sim full, we all desire to retain our youth full appearance and attractiveness
 By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because~it does it so natural ly, so 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 disap- peared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. adv.
