The assumption is true in so far as
age Is the measure of experience and
emotion. and no further. Scientifically
speaking. wrinkles are not the measure
Of the number of years which have
passed over man or a woman. They
are the measure Of the number, kind
and strength of their emotions. and Of
their characters in relation TO those
emotions. They are this primarily.
Secondarily they may indicate simply
physical experience, as In the case of
the sailor, or man of any other calling
which exposes him TO the sun and the
elements.
Every wrinkle tells its story Of char
ncter and emotion. Those around the

character are revealed by those around

Three Percent on Sales.

Competent business experts lay
down the rule that a business may
well appropriate three percent ad-
vertising outlay which will result
in increasing business thirty-three
and a third percent.
To many people three percent
will seem a rather small amount
for a business to expend to make
itself known and to communicate
its offerings to the public. Many
concerns spend a good deal more
than that and find. it pays, and
that they could not exist without
it.
Publicity is reckoned as one of
the essential expenses of the up
to-date business. 1t no more ex-
poets to avoid it than to avoid
insurance on its stock or cost Of
clerk hire or rent. You can't sell
goods unless the people know what
you have to offer, and three per-
cent seems a moderate tax for get
ting that information to the public.

From every point of view pure-bred
cattle give security. The farmer who
raises them has fewer worries over
high feeds, increasing freight rates,
decreasing soil fertility and poor
bank credits. Because his business is
on a more economical basis his mar
gin of profit is greater than that of a
scrub raiser. Because his margin of
profit is greater he can weather a
market slump that crushes other
beef raisers. There is more demand

WHEAT PRICES DISCUSSED.
Federal Trade Commission Makes Re-

port to President Wilson.
Falling wheat prices, Of which
farmers complain to congress has
cost them untold millions, are due
to natural causes and rot to any
appreciable extent to market ma
nipulations, according 10 the fed
eral trade commission, which has
just completed an investigation of
the situation for President Wilson.
The President on October IL
last directed the trade commission
to investigate the wheat situation
and suggest possible remedial
measures. The report today out
lines seven reasons for the market
decline. These were:
/. The worlds yield for 1920
will be larger than for 1919.
2. Buying by foreign govern
ments, which was heavy early in
the year was checked by high
prices later.
3. The unprecedented importa-
ton of Canadian wheat.
4. The record breaking yield of
corn and oats.
5. The slackening OF the domes-
tic demand for flour.
6. The tendency to decline of
other commodities.
z. Change in credit conditions.
The commission offered three
suggestions for meeting the stu
alton,
/ The commission believes that
the President has no power to
shut out wheat imports, by en-
barge, import duty or otherwise.
2. That the President has GER
tain powers to stop the trading
in wheat futures. The commits
sion indicated that it felt that
congress should take the matter
up in this respect.
