Here Is a story told at a dinner party by a lied Cross ofllclal who has Just returned from France: The grandson of Sitting Bull, the famous Indian chief, wns an Interesting convalescent In Bnse Hospitnl No. 40. He had enlisted In the early days of the war, lind gone over the top and worked havoc nmong the Germans be fore ho was wounded. Nurses nnd doctors caring for him tried In vnln to get more than a grunt out of him In response- to questions, while the other men In the ward called him "Gloomy Gus," bocauso ho never cracked a smile. The Red Cross representative In the hospitnl hccomlng Interested, tried his hand nt "cheering up" the Indian. Gifts of clgnrettes nnd chocolnte were received, but without a change of ex pression. "Don't you ever smile?" ho demanded of the Tndlnn one day, nnd for the first time Sitting Bull's grandson grinned. "Sure," he replied. "When I kill a Boche 1" Different Points of View'.

From the passage of the federal aid road act to December 15, 1918, 755 projects were approved by the secretary of agriculture. These projects Involve the Improvement of , 7,807 miles of public roads at a totnl estimated cost of $57,032,000, of which the federal government hat been re quested to contribute $21,002,000. There have been actually completed to date twelve projects, involving u total of fifty-one miles of road, cost ing approximately $017,548, and on which federal aid In the amount of $200,000.10 was paid. Altogether there are more than 7,500 miles of road, for which most of the steps preliminary to construc tion have been taken so far as the burenu of public roads is concerned. Numerous other projects not yet re ported to tho department hnvo boon completed or are under construction, so that the sum total of the road work now in progress under federal aid is greater than appears In this summary. From Florida to Maine, through the North to the Pnclflc coast and down to Mexico road building work Is go ing on. EveYy state has accepted its contribution from the government, nnd wlrile no organized effort has been niadq along those lines to the present time, the states are working gradually to tho system of national highways. Coupled with plans nlready out lined for expenditures on the roads is the legislative program now before congress, which provides for $500, 000,000 to be expended over n period of seven years by federal aid. It is estimated that in the event of the passnge of this bill, which would Well-Drained Road. make available Immediately $75,000, 000 for use in federal aid, It would bo possible for the government and the states to build 34,000 miles of highways this year If labor could be obtained. VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE Increased Supply of Fresb Vegetables May Be Obtained By Applying to Garden Soli. The droppings from fowls, , if care fully saved and applied to ilie gurden soil, will increase the supply of fresh vegetables, poultry manure Is rich in nitrogen and Is well worth the effort it requires to save and apply. Tho droppings from an nverago farm flock will amount to considerable fertility during the year. AUTO TAXES TO GO TO ROADS Committee Appointed In Alabama to Request License Fees Be Applied to Highways. The Birmingham (Ala.) Automobllo club hns appointed a legislative com mittee which is to appear before tho state legislature with the request that all automobllo license fees and taxes be applied on the cost of improved roads in the state. The" funds thus diverted would amount to $1,500,000 annually. Slow In Road. Building. With ull her development, Amcrlcn has always been slow In tho matter ,of road building. Phosphorus Needed. It Is now generally agreed by ex periment station professors and prac tical farmers In our eastern states that the greatest fertilizer needed by our soils Is phosphorus, and that tho best method of supplying It is Jn tho form of acid phosphate. Great Need of Farmer. If there is any one thing that tho farmer needs moro than another, it is good highways. Every other busi ness Is on the line of progress, so why not tbe road business? I 1 V ' w f . X -y i " V COMB SAGE TEA IN HAIR TO DARKEN IT It's Grandmother's Recipe to keep her Locks Dark, Glossy, Beautiful. Tho otd-tlmo mixture of Sage Ten and Sulphur for darkening gray streaked and faded hair is grand mother's recipe, nnd folks nrc again using It to keep their hnlr a good, even color, which Is quite sensible, ns wo nro living in nn nge when a youth ful appearance is of tho grentost ad vantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have tho troublesome tnsk of gathering the sago and the mussy mixing nt home. All drug stores sell the rendy-to-use product, Improved by the addition of other Ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popular because nobody can discover It has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with It nnd draw this through your hair, taking one small strand nt a time; by morning the grny hnlr disappears, but what de lights the ladles with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, Is that, be sides beautifully darkening the hnlr after a few applications, it also pro duces that soft lustre and nppenranco of abundance which Is so attractive. Adv. War Increases Mental Diseases. Figures complied by tho New York State Hospital commission show that 8,005 more patients have been ad mitted to the stnte hospltnls during the forty-four months since war was declared than for the slmllnr period of tlmo prior to the beginning of hos tilities, tho admissions prior to the war being 20.310, as against 33,311 after ward. The state hospitals arc act ually housing 0,500 moro patients than tboy were built to nccommodnto.

Beulah's mother always starched her Uttle girl's dresses so they wouldn't sol! so easily, but Beulnh didn't like them that way, nnd genernlly crushed tfcem so they wouldn't stand out so much. On one occasion her mother asked her why she did it, adding "What do you suppose I starched your dresses for?" "I don't like it that way," com plained Beulnh; "it makew me look so stuck up."

(I'nuared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Tlif host kind of dry roughage to bo fed to the dairy cow, In connection with corn sihigo or roots, nre leguminous hays, such ns alfalfa, red, crimson, or alsllip clover and soy bean or cowpea hay While corn silage Is an excellent feed, it is not n balanced one, ns It doo not contain xulllclcnt protein and n.lneinl matter to meet, fully the re qulreiiu'nts of the cow. The legumi nous hays, In addition to being very palatable, have a tendency to correct this deficiency. They are also one of tho best and cheapest sources of pro tein. One or more of these hays can be grown on any farm, nnd In addition lo ihflr vnlue for feeding purposes, they Improve the soil In which they are grown. Hay from Canada field peas, sown with oats to prevent tho peas from lodging, nlso makes an ex cellent roughage. Corn stover, course hay, etc., also find a good market through the dnlry cow. This class of roughage Is low In protein, however, and .when It Is used the grain must be richer In pro tein. "No positive rule can be laid down as to the quantity of dry roughago that should be fed, but about 0 to 12 pounds a day for each cow, In addition t' slluge. will be found to be satisfac tory In most cases. When the dry roimlingt' Is of poor quality, such as coarse, weedy hay or a poor grade of corns. alks, a large portion can often be given to advantage, allowing tho cow to pick out tho best nnd using tho rejected pnrt' for bedding. With this quantity of dry roughage the cow will take, according to her size, from 25 to HO pounds of silage. This may be con sidered nt. a guide for feeding to npply when the roughage Is grown on tho farm. When everything hns to be pur chased. It Is often moro economical to limit the quantity of roughage fed nnd increase the grain ration. While a cow's stomach Is large and her whole digestive system Is especial ly designed to utilize coarse feeds, there Is u limit to tho bulk that she enn take. This limit Is below the quantity of roughago that It would require to A Weil-Bred Cow. furnish the nutrients she must hava for maximum production ; that Is, u ra t'on may contain the proper propor tions of protein and carbohydrates and still be so bulky that she cannot, handle It. She therefore should havq some grain even though the roughugo In itself Is a balanced ration. FIRST-GRADE MILK 5 The live essentials for produc tion of llrst-grade milk are: (1) Healthy cows and men, (2) clean cows and men, (3) clean cans nnd palls, (4) covered milking palls, (C) cooling milk to 55 degrees Fahrenheit or below within an hour after pro duction and holding it ns low as possible until delivered. LACK OF ICE AT CREAMERIES One Concern Turned Back to Farmers 42,700 Worth of Food Products .Many Other Losses. (From the Urma Stntes Department of Agriculture.) One large creuiH.ry wlilcli buys about 350,000 gallons of sweet milk and cream per year, returned to farm ers last year nearly $2,700 worth of these food products on nccount of lack of proper- care which caused souring cnurning unu oit unvors. The recordsjof another plant show that neurly 50,000 gallons of sour milk were received In one year. Insufficient cooling caused most of these losses, which are duplicated many times nil over tho country during the heated season. TREATING COWS FOR GARGET Afflicted Animals Should Be Milked Regularly Hands of Milker Should Be Washed. Cows that are subject to garget should bo milked regularly and cleun. In some cases It may bo advisable to milk oftener than twtco a duy. Tho hitnds of the milker should bo washed after milking a cow that Is affected with garget before milking another cow, to prevent cnrrylng the germs. Tho practice of milking out an af fected cow on the ground Is a hud one for the germs nre spread in this way to other cows. Wni4l EVA? WRKjLETS SK for. ! 3 : 3 3 3 1 3 S 3 I to set WRIGLEY'S.
