An energetic and influential organ ization on the Pacific coast, the Cali fornia State Automobile association, has carried on some investigations af fording definite figures of the value of good roads. It secured the help of Prol. J. B. Davidson of the University of California nnd Austin B. Fletcher, state highway engineer, In currying on a large number of tests of the pull re quired to move a standard farm wagon loaded to make the gross weight ti.OlKJ pounds. This wagon was huuled in some cases by a two-ton truck and in other cases by a team of good draft horses, weighing about 1,000 pounds each. Tests have shown that a pull of 27 to 30 pounds per ton of gross load was needed to haul the wagon on unsur- faced concrete roads. When the con crete was surfaced with oil and screen ings the pull was increased to about 50 pounds. About 65 pounds were needed for hauling on water-bound macadam and on bituminous concrete laid on top of cement concrete. On good gravel roads a pull of 65 to 82 pounds was needed, while on loose gravel the pull was 263 pounds, the highest record In any of the tests. About 80 pounds were required for hauling on bitumin ous macadam. On earth roadB 02 pounds were required for hauling over a good surface covered with lhi Inches of loose dUBt, 00 pounds over an ordl- LADIES!

Common garden sage brewed Into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addi tion of other ingredients, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Se.ce and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and at.tr ac: veneas. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because It does it so naturally, so evenly. You Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair beoomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux uriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite.

INTERESTING BOYS IN SHEEP Much Can Be Done by Well-Ordered Course of Instruction Know Demand of Buyer. (Prepared by the United States Depart - merit of Agriculture.) Sheep raising offers one of the most attractive opportunities in the live stock Industry at the present time. There is a demand for purebred sheep for breeding, and for mutton and wool. One of the best ways to create interest In sheep raising is to teach the subject properly to boys in the secondary schools, Is the opinion of a specialist In agricultural education with the United States department of agricul ture. Many rural districts of the Unit ed States are not awake to the oppor tunity connected with sheep raising, declares this specialist, In introducing a new publication of the department, Bulletin 503, "Judging Sheep as the Subject of Instruction In the Second ary School." Much can be done toward arousing an interest not only among the boys but among the farmers of a community A Different Matter. Oke You're paying too much rent, old man.

Swift & Company Publicity At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of Swift & Company, which showed that the Company had been con sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign. The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: $875000,000. Profits $34,650,000. I This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500. If Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound more for his cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per pound on dressed beef.
