The commission contends that It

lower reaches has progressed salts

caused no Increase In the total es-

PURCHASE
OF TIMBER LANDS
BY the Federal Government
and Spectators Will Be
Eliminated.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. O.
Secretary Wilson has announced that
hereafter the department of agricu!-
ture will not examine or recommend
for purchase under the Weeks law
timber lands upon which options have
been secured with view OF selling to
the government at a profit. The de-
partment wishes To deal direct with
the owners OF lands. since this course
will result in the payment TO the own
ers of the full value of the land and at
the same time make 1t possible for the
government to secure lands cheaper
than through option holders.
The purchase Of land through option
holders means lower price for the
landowner and a higher price to the
government than is justified by the
conditions. This decision to purchase
only from the owns means that no ac-
ton can be taken upon some OF the
proposals which have been made for
the sale Of lands, but as the appropri-
alton available is limited TO $2,00O,O0o
per year. there will be no difficulty in
selecting from the large amount which
is being offered n sufficient acreage to
readily consume the entire approPria-
ton as fast as it becomes available.
While the optioning of land in adj
vance OF the government examiners
has become an obstacle in certain To-
calities In the south. Secretary Wilson
says that in general his assistants have
made excellent progress in examining
and reporting upon lands and in
reaching agreements with owners on
terms and conditions OF sale.
More than 100000 acres have been
offered in the southern Appalachians
and White mountains. over 100000
acres have been examined. and agree
ments reached with the owners for
over 100, 900 acres.
Four parties of estimators and five
expert lumbermen have been busy in
the field since the first OF June secur-
ing the necessary information upon
which TO base reports to the National
Forest Reservation Commission. by
which all purchases OF land must ne
authorized in accordance with the pro-
visions of tho law. Secretary Wilson
1 will ask that a meeting of the COM
( mission be called early In December
{ for the purpose of considering some OF
the reports which are being prepared.
( Before making his reports TO the
commission. the secretary win have
reports from the geoloEtcaI survey.

FRECKLES GONE
sSfmpIe Remedy From Potter Drug
Company Removed Them,
SAYS Society Lady.

'The best skin specialists told me
that nothing would remove my freckles
and that / would carry them to my
grave" said well known society
woman, but I fooled them all with a
new drug, othine-double strength,
that bought at Potter Drug Company,
which cleared my skin and gave me a
fine complexion"
The action of othine is really re-
markable, for when applied at night,
many of the freckles disappear entire
ly by morning, and the rest have be-
gun to fade. An ounce is usually all
that is needed, even for the worst
case.
Be sure to ask Potter Drug Company
for the double strength othine. as this
is sold under a guarantee Of money
back if it fails to remove the freckles.
