FARMERS BUYING PUREBRED
CATTLE IN CARLOAD LOTS

Miles City, Sept. 29.-The farmers
Of the Tree Coulee community on the
north side, believe that community
cooperation pays big dividends in
raising livestock, as in anything else,
end they have launched a movement
whereby every farmer in the commu-
nifty may secure purebred breeding
stock for use in building up the beet
industry of their locality, the object
being to produce a better type and
more marketable animals.
Two members will leave shortly for
the east to purchase the breeding
stock and plan to buy between 80
and 40 head Of purebred Hereford
cattle, both males and females, which
they expect to secure reasonably by
buying in carload lots, and in this
way also keep down transportation
costs.

WORDEN RANCHER
SHOOTS HIMSELF

LnIngs, Sept. 2S.-After leaving
his wife and four children in Billings
telling them he was going to his
ranch at Worden Monday night,
Charles A. Whittenback stopped at
a Montana avenue rooming house for
three days and then shot himself on
Thursday morning, death occurring
instantly. 1t is thought the man was
temporarily mentally unbalanced by
III health.
He is thought to be about 40 years
of age and had been engaged in
farming near Worden. He shot him
self through the mouth with a re-
volver of the old Colt style, used in
early days. There were no powder
marks on his face, says Coroner
Frank Smith.

ton of generally prosperous condi-
tions. Business failures are reported
by mercantile agencies are the small
est both in number and in liabilities
in three years. The domestic de-
mand for all kinds of goods it the
greatest in Americas history.
During the last year mail order
houses and retail stores report they
have handled the largest volume of
business ever known.
This is evidenced in the fact that
during the last year railroads have
loaded and hauled more cars OF
freight than ever before in their his
tory. This in addition to the freight
that is being transported in %increas-
ing quantities by motor truck lines.
In line with this are the reports
made by the industrial world to the
effect that in the last twelve months
record production has been made in
ten or a dozen basic industries, and,
taken as a whole, all industries have
been more active, employing more
men and turning out more goods than
during any previous period in times
of peace.
Reports of our foreign trade show
a tremendous increase in exports of
farm products, as a whole, are far
ahead of pre-war quantities. For
the first six months of this year
wheat, corn, wheat flour, rice canned
milks, meat, meat products, are all
very much ahead of the exports OF
pre-war days. The Department OF
Commerce shows that for the first
seven months of this year our ex.
ports to Latin America were q pei
cent ahead Of the similar period last
year, and far ahead Ct exports t.
prior to the World war.

Miles City, Sept. 28.-Harry W..
King of Prudden, King and Prudden
of New York and Chicago, who has
been in Montana making a personal
survey of the business and farming
conditions at first hand is greatly
impressed with the situation he found
here.
Montana is a most happy, prosper,

he declared. "For while there is still
a bit of psychological gloom appar-

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
Die mixture was applied with wonder
full effect. By asking at any drug store
for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you viii 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 SIM
pie mixture can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say everybody
uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound now because it darkenS so natur-
ally 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 n strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; at
ter another application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful

The agricultural situation Is not
normal, but is improving. The UNI
ted States Department of Agriculture
publishes a survey of farm prices
showing that on the first of August,
this year, farm prices averaged 10
IL per cent higher than a year ago
and 25 per cent higher than two years
ago. With the industrial section OF
the country at work at good wages
and business conditions on a sound
basis, there is every justification for
predicting a steady improvement in
agricultural conditions.
The people of the country as -
whole are living better than ever be-
fore. This is reflected in the in
creased sales of all kinds Of merchan-
disc and more particularly in the pat
ronage of amusement places, such as
theaters, increased sales of pleasure
vehicles and musical instruments, and
the purchase of higher grade COM
modities and better qualities of food.
On top of the increased expendi>
lures for all kinds of necessities and
many Injuries, the American people
are also saving money. Reports of
the savings deposits of national banks
and trusts on July first showed
$3.50, 0O0, 900, an Increase of $780,
100000 compared with July first.
