Improbable"

summary of the farm real estate stu
alton Just released by the Department

First mortgage money is in good

saws the announcement, ''and farm
taxes have apparently passed the
peak with the outlook for a down
ward tendency in the near future.
The outlook in the investment mar
kets points to still lower interest
rates"
Farm ownership for the year ended
March Is, 1927, developed no marked
changes, with voluntary sales and
trades of farms dropping from 80 to
cs per 900 farms. Forced sales and
related losses of title increased slight
iy, from 81 to 23 per 1000 farms

Gen. Pershing believes America
should have a Navy second to none
and a merchant marine sufficient for
her commercial requirements.
In a Navy day message cabled to
Secretary Wilbur, read by the latter
during the special naval program
broadcast last night by WRC, Gen.
Pershng declared that such Navy
is needed for adequate preparedness.
II should like to recall to the people
of America the inestimable service
rendered the country by the Navy and
merchant ships in the World War. and
to emphasize the need in this great
maritime nation of maintaining both
in a high state of efficiency Gen.
Pershing's message said.
Adequate preparedness REQUIRES
Navy second to none," he added also

THE rate paid by Americans for the

'LAD|ES! DARKEN 1. YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Crandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and
 Nobody Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother's 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 sim pie mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and Out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for q
 bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- ] phur Compound" you will get this famous oldSpreparation, i'm
 proved by tAH addition of other
 ingredients for only 75 cents, can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 Well-known druggists say it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disap- pears, and after another applica- tion or two, 1t becomes beautiful iy dark and glossy. adv

"MEMORY LANE" IS
 FINE SHOW, PALACE

One of the most beautiful and pathetic love stories ever screen. ed is Memory Lane," a First Na. tional picture, which opened last night at the Palace. It was di- rected by John M Sahl for Louis B. Mayer.
 kaMemory Lane" tells an in. triguing story of the first year of married life.
 Eleanor Boardman, Conrad Ma, gel and William Haines play the featured roles in the picture. Eleanor, who has just recently been playing flapper roles, de parts from that type and plays the conservative daughter of New England parents. It is her most sympathetic perfornance.' Shc has never appeared to such ad- vantage, photographically.
 Conrad Nagel can always be de pended upon to give an interest ing characterization and does not ilisappoint here. Nagels perform ances are consistently gaining in versatility and sincerity. As for William Haines, he is rapidly be- coming a favorite juvenile. In fact, he is already more than that. He is a pre-eminent actor. one of the most personable on the screen.

 ''Between 1899 and 1925 the out put of agricultural products in creased about 47 per cent" Dr. Durand said, that of mining about 24S per cent, and that of manufac- lures about IFS per cent, while the volume of railway service incrcas- ed by 199 per cent Meanwhile population had grown only about 55 per cent. so that per capita out put rose also by about 55 per cent"
 True Causes
 "Even that comparison" it was added, failed to measure fully the progress in production, since larger proportions of the coun- try's population in recent years have engaged in professional, mercantile. and service occupa- tions, rather than in actual pro duction.
 "The true cauees of the pros perity and economic progress of the country are not difficult to discern," Dr. Durand continued. At the foundation lie the rich resources of the country, not tax ed by an excessive population and the energy. intelligence and attitude toward work of tn, pro- ducing population.
 'In our earlier days, advance was in considerable measure at tlibutable to the opening of new resources, but during the past quarter century this has not been major influence. The principal factors in the recent increase in productivity are what may oe called human as distinguished from natural factors. One of the most profound modern ten dencies is the swiftly expanding use of electric current"
