Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE first survey

tural association. Secretary -. q.

JAG or 29.5 per cent reported some
OF the same cars on tracks the last
day Of the count as were on the
tracks the first day of the count.
AZ all stations 1924 cars were
listed the first day and OF these cars
s3s out of 1924 cars had not beei,

a little over 10 per cent Of the car,
at such points.
No count was made in Chicago. Ii
several other large yards the associa.
ton enumerators were elected from
the yards by railroad officials.
In Grundy county nine stations are
reported. Four of these showed a
complete clearance, whereas the other
five showed that a total of Asa cars
reported the first day 236 Identical
cars were still on track seven days
later.
Mine operators say they were fore
ed to idleness many days each weeh
leading to the strike of the miners
which recently tied up tn mines jus,
when the farmers were needing coa'
for threshing. AT this same time be
fore the strike in Christian county, al
Clarksdale and Willeys, two trains OF
coal cars t~otaling SO cars were re-
ported empty at both first and last
days of the count.
AT Bristol, Kendall county, 3S cars
were unmoved during the entire week
At Dakota, Stephenson county, ~
loaded box cars stood on track all
Of the seven days.
If We may take the total NUMBER
of freight cars of the country on

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 FADED OR CRAY HAIR
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell

Grandmother kept her hair beau tffully darkened, glossy and attrac- tive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get a large bottle of this old time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients all ready to use, at very little cost This simple mixture can be de- pended upon to restore natural col or and beauty to the hair.
 A well known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now be- cause it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been appIied-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 q time. By morning the gray hair disappears. after another appIica - tion or two, II is restored to it's nat ural color and locks glossy. soft and beautiful.

BISBEE EFFORT
 FOR GOOD MUSIC
 IS RECOGNIZED

RECOGNITION OF THE Warren Districts efforts to promote good mu- sic has been secured through no less parsonage than Charles D, Isaacson. one of the leading promoters of music in the city of New York and the man who is responsible for the New York Globe Free Concerts" Mir. lsaacson has written to Mrs. Lillian Kline Frankenherg. of Bisbee, who is one of the Musical Events Club leaders, asking for details of the local plans.

To those concerts everyone can at- tend Tickets are secured through the Family Music Page of the Globe ed by the purchasers rating in Brad streets. On the occasion of the 1000th. Globe Concert Isaacson was rendered loving cup by the admirers and by those who are interested in the furtherance Of the work.
 Mrs. Frankenberg some time ago, wrote to the Musical World, q musical paper published in New Fork, telling of the Musical Events club of the Warren District. This letter was seen by Isaacson and he is desirous of giv- ing the matter further publicity. His letter to Mrs. Franken0erg Is printed hereafter and it is certain that the New York man wili be fully acquaint- ed with musical progress in the War ren district. The letter follows:

 And then, I like man, because there is so much to hate in them, and unless there is something to hate, because they resent me; 1 like them there is nothing to love I like men because they resent all things that detract from their own omnipotence it does not take so very much to do that despise them because they do not make the most of what they are but then I must despise women for that, too.
