Spencer, Aug. 15.—With approxi mately s,6oo*skilled workmen* craftsmen and brotherhood men, hard at work day and nighty and with a pay roll that has Jumped to slightly more than $628,000 per month, thg operations in the big Spencer shops of the Southern Railway have reached the highest point in the his tory of the plant and of the town. It is stated on good authority that the force of workers is 20 per cent, larger than at any time, even during the war peak, and‘that the amount of the pay roll has been augmented by an equal ratio. • ' In the shops proper which iucludes the mechanical and car departments, storehouse and roundhouse, slightly more than 2,800 men are employed with a monthly pay roll of $314,000. The time for these men is kept at the offices of Master Mechanic C., G. Goff where a large force of.clerks are kept busy with the details. Effective July Ist the standard rate of pay for thj crafts, ma chinists, .boilermakers/ blacksmiths, and other crafts was increased to 73 cents per hour, which means a corresponding increase in the p.ay roll. While the' unit of increase is small it aflioupts to a considerable total. A vast amount of clerical work is necessary to keep every detail right on finger tops for the heads of departments and for the officials in Washington. In addition to the army of 2.800 in ’the shops it is said an equal number are employed in the transportation depart ment, road men, conductors, engineers, firemen, brakemen, yardmen, bridge gangs, work trains, aud under the supervision of Superiufeident W.

All classes of repair work have been so heavy as to require additional men for all departments. ' Thpre are 240 ma chinists as against the highest peak reached during the war period.

DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Uee Grandma’s Bage Tea and Sulphur Recjpe and Nobody Will Know The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing' faded, gray hair to its 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 simple mix ture was applied with wonderful ef feet. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date., Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get this famous old preparation, im proved by the addition of other ingre dients, which can be depended upon to rtstofe natural color arid beauty to the hair. , Well-known druggists say 1 it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that , nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and c]f?w this through ypur hair, taking one strand at~w time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark »nd -glossy. SHE CONCORD. DAILY TRIBUNE BOLL WEEVIL CAUSES LOSS OF *750,000,000 E. E. Bartlett, Jr., Issue# Warning to the Country.—Must Cheek It Quickly. New York, Aug. 16. —Southern cotton planters have suffered this season a loss. ! approximating "at the present prices, j $750,000,000 through the ravages of the boll weevil and drought, President E. E. Bartlett, Jr., of the New York cittou exchange, declared today in a statement urging the use of more funds to fight the weevil. Unless the damage done by the weevjl iseffectively checked within the next few years, America’s supremacy as the World’s leading cotton • grower is serious ly threatened, Mr. Bartlett declared. “Never since the weevil first made its appearance in tile cotton belt, about 1892, has such great alarin been felt as exists today among the eotton planters,” Mr. Batrlett said. “Aften years of pro crastination the national 1 government, tile state governments, and the leading cotton associations are at last beginning to realize the dire need for drastic ac tion in every section of the cotton belt to reduce the weevil irienace to a mini mum.” -* In view of-the huge loss which an nually confronts the nation, Mr. Bart lett said the amount devoted to fighting the weevil “seems infinitestimally small.” “It would be real economy,’’ he de clared, “and a great benefit to the nation and world, to devote millions of dollars to exterminating this enemy of the cot-, ’ton plant." He Said the Now York ■cotton exchange this year contributed $10(9.00 to fight the pest and the state of Georgia, the second largest cotton growing state, has contracted for 50.000 tons of calcium arsenate, considered the most .effective known instrument for combatting the weevil, to be delivered over a period of live years. The United States Steel Corporation, through Chair man Gary, has notified the American Cotton Association it would contribute $25,000 annually for the next three years to the boll weevil campaign, Mr. Bartlett said. “The far reaching plight of the weev il,” he said, even the steel cor poration. there are eight steel ties on each bale of eotton, and the crop loss this year, due chiefly to the weevil, is estimated at about 6.000,000 bales. The means that cotton growers will reqire 48,000,000 fewer steel ties to bale the crop.” The boll weevil. Mr. Bartlett asserted, is the most dangerous pest because it so thoroughly fortifies itself against ex teririination. . Unfortunately, he said, there is a' greut shortage of calcium ar senate. and if other states were to fol low the example of Georgia in ordering tile product,- there would Tkpt be enough ■ produced in the world to cover the eii feeteil parts of the cotton belt. Experiments to combat the weevil by using aeroplanes to spread poison gas over infected areas have not yet demon strated their effectiveness, Mr. Bartlett said, and if eventually the planes prove successful, it would require a .fleet of hundreds of planes and liuge gas produc tion to put it into operation over the entire cotton area. 1 SC OFFER REWARD FOR “ FLOGGING PARTIES Further Efforts to Break-Up Whippings In Macon; Police Made Headway. Macon, On., Aug. 16.—At the request of Sheriff J.

The North American heath-hen which, so far as is known, is today making its last fight against extinction on the pro tected üblic reservation of • Martßa’s Vineyard, is now near the vanishing point, according to the reservation superintendent. Not more than 50 of the birds are left on the island—and in the world—and most of them are males, the report sent to the Stnte Department of Conservation sets forth, A census was taken by Commissioner William 0.
