Hotels Filled I'm
Calipatria Will,
Early Hunter S

CALlPATRIA, Sept. 3o.-The
two hotels here are already filled
with hunters coming from the coast
to be ready Wednesday morning
for the first drive on ducks. Camp
ers are also seen in more numerous
numbers and many of them are here
for the duck season.
Scarcity of fresh water has cur
tailed the number of ducks to some
extent this year but now that the
canals are again running full heads
it is believed the season will be Il
successful one although with a late
start.
A good many black geese have
shown up along Salton Sea but they
are, as Il rule, too wise, TO get with
in gun shot and hunters despair of
Il chance to get them.

1t is predicted that within few years

ally all states and further that those
having many motor tourists will be
next to adopt it.
The gax tax is popular, it is ex-
planned, because it is paid in nickles

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, June 18-it is a
popular practice nowadays to probe
into the heart of things. The chief
topic of conversation in Washington
concerns the future of political par
ties and the effect of the forthcom-
ing campaign upon business and agri-
culture. The public is naturally in
speculative mood as an aftermath
of the Republican National Conven-
ton held in Cleveland last week. In
quiries center on the identity of the
Democratic standard-bearer in direct
contrast with the G. o. P. which
had practically, selected its ticket
months ago. The Democrats have
problems which are more numerous
ard complicated and the New York
convention will outstrip the Cleve-
land ratification meeting in sensa-
tioHalism, at least.
Neither the Democrat or the Re-
publicans can boast of the greatest
essential to political success party
solidarity. This factor is recognized
for thoughtful and responsible party
chieftians are not indulging in the un-
usual extravagant claims. In all so
ciety, political and otherwise, groups
of grumblers will be found. The diff
ficulty is to keep these dissenters
from open revolt on problems of pol
icy and to win them over to the lead
er's viewpoint. According to party
spokesman the greatest danger to

Awards Six Highway Jobs;
twenty-five Others Soon
Department Using Auto Tax Income,
Through Reimbursement Bonds,
to Improve Trunk Routes

Needed improvements on state
trunk highways in this section are
much near accomplishment following
announcements this week by Charles
M. Babcock, state highway commits
sioner, of tentative awards of six i'm
provements contracts and a call for
bids June "a on 25 other improve
ments, all slated at the top of the
construction program.
Low bids on six projects just con-
tracted total about 1881, 500 or $780,
900 below engineers estimates, and
cover 35 miles of grading, ~ of
paving, 1000 feet Of concrete gut
ter and II bridge undertakings.
The new list, estimated to take
more than $1,000,000 and to make
the largest single 1924 letting by the
state highway departmtnt, includes
143 miles of grading, more than 80
miles of gravel surfacing, SD miles
Of paving and "a bridge undertake
ings. The projects are widely dis
tributed over the state and many
sections will benefit from better roads
as result.
All work listed is to be paid for
with auto tax funds and federal
highway aid, highway officials said.
County reimbursement bonds, make
possible most of the important i'm
provements at this time, they added,
but the bonds with interest will be
paid from year to year out of the
current auto tax receipts, under the
"pay-as-you-use" plan.
The contract for the single paving
job of 51a miles on T. H. No. l,
south from Owatonna, was given
Nolan Brothers, Minneapolis, at
$144,645.17, the lowest of II bids
received. The price of S2.42 a
square yard compares favorably with
those on biggest jobs. The improve
ment is to be finished next fall.
Improvements on which bids are
to be received June "a include the

Good roads advocates pointed the

Ladies! Darker
Your Gray Hair
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody viii Know


The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmothers
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-Uf-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
says it darkens the hair so naturally
aud evenly that nobody can tell " has
been applied You simply dampau a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking ere
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.
