The G~alesville Republican contains
the following bit of good sensible
advice:
In these days of sharp competition,
the village or city that FORCES ahead or
ever holds it's own, has a people'who are
alive to their interests and are willing
to pull together for the benefit of the
community in general. A town that
has within it an active board of trade or
business mems association will never
trail-it will keep pace with its com
p~etitors and business will not drag. No
business man should be outside of such
an organization should n exist in his

There now seems little doubt but that
Taylor, the republican candidate for
governor in Kentucky, will be given a
certificate of election. Hopes of Gobel's
success were based on a typographical
error in printing Taylor's name on the
official ballot. The circuit court direc-
ted election officers to make returns in
conformity with the intention of the
voter. There were 1, 1913 such ballots IN
one county.

Do not wash your hands and face with a common
laundry soap, or if you do, don't complain when you
find them rough, hard and chapped. Ordinary laundry
soaps are good for s~crubbing floors, but not for the skin.
Ivory Soap makes creamy lather that rinses easily and
takes the dirt with it. The natural oil of the skin
washed with Ivory Soap is not removed, and the skin IS
left soft and smooth.
