area con be selected and the veter

in a statement received at Nebraska
Farmer I'nion headquarters. Criti

pending in congress, on the ground
that it doe not make any provition

U not well founded. ay Mr. Davi.
The bill it not a price-fixing measure,
and wa never intended to be. It
imply provides for a system of long
term credit to farmers that will en
able them to market their crop m
an orderly way. thus eliminating
speculators' profits and benefiting
both producer and consumers. Mr.
Davis holds that without improved
credit facilities for farmers, co-oper-cannot
reach its
greatest effectiveness.

cyclone in Illinois and Indiana were
no doubt valuable landmarks, and
many of them that are only slightly
injured could be patched up and pre
served for years'. It takes many
years to grow a shade tree, and it
would cost less time and money to
patch up some that are injured than
it would to erow new ones.
The work to be done -in repairing
trees is summarized by Franz A.
Aust, tree expert, University of Wis
consin, as follows. Remove all
branches impossible, to repair, also
all dead wood or injured bark. Ke
store to its original position every
branch which remains sufficiently at
tached to warrant such procedure. In
some cases it will be necessary to use
block and tackle. Fasten the branches
securely with bolts, hooks and cables.
Trim and smooth ragged edges so
that healing may take place, and dis
infect and waterproof all cut sur
faces, s
The diagrams show Mr. Aust's
method of restoring trees by means
of cables, hooks and bolts. .
Farm Product Values

Lincoln Wealth value to the
amount of twelve and one-third bil
lion dollars was oroduced by farmers

Shortage of Teachers
Now Exists in . Nebraska
Lincpln A shortage of qualified
teachers exists in all departments in
Nebraska, according to E. H. Hos
man, secretary of, the Nebraska
Teachers' association, who recently
returned from a trip through the
central and northern portions of the
state. A more pronounced shifting
in positions is reported by Mr. Hos
man. "In the large majority of cases,
good teachers are being retained at
the same salary, or at increases," Mr.
Hosman stated, 'although many
boards are cutting expenses by re
ducing the number of instructors in
th? more recently added depart
ment These include, in particular,
courses in music, cooking and manu
al training."
Headquarters of the association
here is handling an increasing num
ber of applications for positions from
teachers, and boards seeking teach
ers. This work it a part of the serv
ice rendered to its membership, car
ried on in co-operation with the
state department of public instruc
tion. Bee Want Ads bring results.

couldt hardly keep going. The leaat

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.
Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea, with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a rev
elation if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
bulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to
get a. bottle of Wycth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound . at any drug
store, all ready for use. This is the
old-time recipe -improved by the ad
dition of other ingredients.
While wispy, eray. faded hair is
not sinful, we all .desire to retain
our youthful appearance, and attrac
tiveness. By darkening your hair
with Wveth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because
it does it so naturally, so evenlv.
You just dampen a sponga or soft
brush with it and draw this throuah
your hair, taking one; small strand
at a time; by morning all gray hairs
have disappeared, and after another
application or two your hair becomes
Leautitully dark glossy, soft and
luxuriant. . , ... , '

WILL M'NAMARA, Proprietor of
Barber Shop, 5214 North Twenty,
fourth St., says: "I suffered from
disordered kidneys, which I think
was caused from being on my feet
so much. My back was lame and
painful and there was a hazy appear
ance before my eyes. My kidneys
acted too freely, too. I read about
Doan's Kidney pills and bought a
box at the Adams-Haight Drug Co.
Through the use of Doan's all the
trouble was driven away and I have
never been bothered since."
