An easier way is to gat the ready-to-usfe preparation improved by the addition of Other ingredients a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sinful,, we all desire to retain our youthful ■ bile.nance ana attractiveness.

After another application or two your hair liecoines beautifully dark, glossy, soft’s and luxuriant and you appear years' younger. f LESS WHEAT SOWED 237,(X)0 Fewer Acres Seeded in Indiana As Compared To Last Year Indianapolis, Jan. 11.—A reduction of 2S7.OUU acres in the number of acres in Indiana aiceded to winter wheat from the acreage of last sea sea. has been found, says the monthly crop report of George C. Bryant director of the joint crop reporting service. I'nsatlsfai tory price and the custom of crop rotation contribut • d to the reduction, it was said. The report follows "Not a, single county in the state shows as large an acreage in wheat thia year as was shown last year, not- ‘ withstanding soil and weather c onditions were exceptionally favorable. It' seemed to have been the intent of most farmers (because of the uazatiafactory price) to sow the minimum j acreage to wheat this year that was t’tn istent with e.->t*i>ll.-IH-d custom of rotation although in uotue localities •ho com was down so badly even this impractical.. The labor Situation also wag a factor, being hard to secure mid wages higher than Carmen felt •hey could afford to pay. The total urea seeded thia fall is 13 per cent

loss than la»t year anti-amounts to 1,917,000 acres compared with 2,204,000 acres last year. The condition of the plants is fairly satisfactory, al though generally the top growth is quite short, which is especially true of the late planted. Hessian fly was reported in several localities, but ho serious damage is looked for from this source. Compared with normal the December 1 condition was 88 per cent. “The area sown to rye this fall in Indiana shows a decrease of 12 per cent and amounts to 263,000 acres, compared with 299,000 acres, the revised figures for last year. The principal reasons for the heavy decrease were the unsatisfactory price and the labor situation, although the corn being down badly in some sections had an influence. Soil and weather conditions were favorable for a large acreage. The condition of the plants on December 1 was 91 per cent of normal, which is about average. Weather conditions have been favorable and no insect damage has been reported. , “The average price paid this year for husking corn in Indiana from standing stalks was 6.1 cents a bushel; from the shock it was 8.4 cents a bushel. The condition of the fields had a direct bearing on the price this year and the range was from I cents to 9 cents for standing corn and 5 cents so 9 cents for corn in the shock. About two-thirds of the crop had been husked up.to the first of the month. A much larger acreage than usual was hogged off this year because of the poor quality of the crop and thd high price asked by huskers.

"Because of the labor situation and the lateness of thexporn husking season, not much fall plowing has been done, as is usiutUy the case. Soil and weather conditions have been very fa vorable, however, and the work will continue for some time.” NEW LAMP KI RNS 94*7<> AIR Beats Electric or Gas A new oil lamp tint gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the C S Government and ,".5 lending universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps.
