French Saving For Success

The wider knowledge of the French
people brought about by war associa-
ton has set many an American home
maker and housewife to thinking
How, she wonders, with the small in
comes quoted as general among the
snaller mercantile circles, can the
French bousekeeper accumulate the
financial reserve, the tidy savings"
generally-and acknowledgements
tied to her? The secret IL not far TO
seek
The French housewife looks upon
steady saving as a family necessity
as important as bread and as newt
able. No matter how small the in
come, some part OF II must be set
aside TO make provision for the future.
No matter from what source the in
come is derived. how irregular it's re-
ception, the statement holds good.
How else can provision be made for
the daughters little dot, or marriage
portion, the sons business start in
life, the occasional family holiday, for
possible illness, fire, failure, or any OF
the thousand and one exigencies that
may upset the applicant of ordinary
LIEF
Therefore, the French housewife,
usually the chancellor of the family
exchequer, saves before she spends
and spends judiciously" She slows
away the proper financial margin be-
fore apportioning any other household
expenses.
Long before the American housewife
was offered the educational opportuni.
~ OF Thrift and War Savings Stamps
her Gallo sister had learned the JOY
Of small but steady saving, the super.
lative desirability of Government in
vestments Safety deposit vaults be-
ing rare In rural France, the Huns are
richer for many French government
bonds taken from household safes and
stockings.
II the French housewife could have
registered those bonds a. the Amerl
can woman can register her War Saw
ings Stamps. she would not have lost
her little savings. II you lose your
War Savings Stamps after registering
them, which is free, the same post.
Office where you registered them will
give you new ones.

FARMING INTERESTS

The position of the American far
ner has been very much improved of
late by the higher prices obtainable
for his products. According to some
recent statistics of the Department of
Agriculture, more than $4,000, 900
acres have been added to the coun-
try's aggregate crop acreage in the
last ten years. The country's aggre-
gate last year was 367, 1888 900 acres.
This more than one-fifth of the total
land area of Continental United
States. Almost two and one-half
times the size of the state of Texas
and about ten times the land area of
the entire New England States. The
number of farms in the United States
is estimated at 6,717,000.
Higher prices for farm products
have naturally enhanced the value of
farm lands. The Department of
Agriculture reports the average grade
Of pillow lands was worth about $74.31
per acre on March 1st, this year, COM
pared with $6S.3S year ago, S62.17
two years ago, and $3.50 three years
ago.
Values show that the greatest per-
centage increase during the last year
occurred in the South Atlantic States,
in the Carolinas and Georgia, and eX-
tended to Alabama, Kentucky and
Arkansas. Small OF no increases
were made in the New England States
the Pacific coast states, and louisiana
Texas Kansas and Montana. Material
increases were reported from Nebras-
ka and South Dakota. Alabama re-
ports the lowest average value of
pillow lands, at $24.00 per acre, and
mississippi next at $3.50.
The values of farm lands IN
community are increasing. We all
rejoice with the success of the farmer
for as the farmer prospers, so every
body prospers.

May Restore Game Elshinn.

The fish and game commission of
the assembly is having drafted a bill
designed to restore game fishing in
Lake Winnebago and tributary waters.
The measure will empower the con-
Servation commission to take out all
the rough fish that can be found and
TO dispose of whatever game fish are
taken in the nets, to pay the cost of
the work
The solution of the problem came
after more than two hours of argu-
ments before the committee over tho
Simpson bill TO permit gill-net fishing.
Mr.. Simpson said his bill would result
in rough fish being taken out, but 9TH
ers just as strongly contended the COM
mercial fishermen would throw the
rough fish back to serve as an excuse
for further net fishing and would profit
by the sale of game fish. The matter
was put up TO the conservation COM
mission.

Bin to Save Employment Bureaus.

Bill to Save Employment Bureaus.
The free employment bureaus o.
the state were saved from being shue
down on April 1, due TO lack of fed,
eral appropriation, when the joint
finance committee introduced in tho
senate a bill carrying an emergency
appropriation of $4,000 to maintain
these bureaus until July 1, with the
unanimous recommendation of the full
committee that it. be passed without
delay.
Only the fact that there were not a
sufficient number of members present
to pass financial measures prevented
the committee bill from being acted
upon by both houses before the legis-
lature adjourned. 1t was advanced
10 a third reading in the upper house,
and will probably be passed just as
soon as the legislature meets after
the vacation.
The bill places the control of en-
Iioyment bureaus in the hands of the
industrial commission for an expert
mental period of three months, there
by transferring control from the fed
eral government, which has failed to
appropriate for the maintenance of
the bureaus, to the state. Most of the
bureaus in the state would have been
forced to go out of business on April 1.

the bill, "the industrial commission is
T.r,- ,l. n

Socialists ouposed to University.

The Socialist party in the legisla-
ture is opposed to the university. For
the first time since their delegation
has been formidable in the legislature
the Socialists have turned against the
University of Wisconsin. Senator L.
A. Arnold, the senate leader of the So
cialists, served notice to this effect
last week when he attacked the gen.
eral appropriation bill carrying $780,
961 for the biennial period. He de-
clared that reactionary influences had
appeared in the university in recent
years and that they had been especial
ly pronounced during the period of the
war. The four Socialist votes were
registered against the appropriation.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-Of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients. which can be depended up
on TO restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
saws it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glOssy.-Adv.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-grOwing all over the scalp
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of Your hair. No diff.
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at 9
time. The effect is Advantageous hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in.
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless observation-disclosures all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan
6erine.-Adv.
