The little pronoun that Is first person,

Are you fond of travel?" I asked
with a dubious infection of the voice,

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 15.-The
state of Wisconsin will go into
the insurance bushes If the
scheme of Speaker Charles A. In
gram of the house does not mis-
carry. His bill to establish state
insurance comes up this week and
is already receiving much atten-
ton.
The theory is advanced to COM
bat the growing demand for cid
age pensions. Ingram wants to
make 1t possible for every Wiscon-
sin citizen to obtain insurance at
exact cost, the expense of admin
istration to be paid by the state.
Ingram is a reform politician of
the La Toilette school. He has
obtained admirable results in the
Legislature by forcing important
measl res to the front first, refus-
ing to assign minor bills to COM
mittees until legislative action
has been taken on big questions.

Easy Helps to Beauty

GREASELESS FACE CREAM -
There is no question that the best
way to remove and prevent black
heads. pimples. roughness, richness
and wrinkles is by the use of n good
face cream. However, a face cream
that contains animal fat or oil rs
likely to produce a downy growth
of hair-something that should be
gnardad against. Follow this recipe
and you can make splendid grease
less cream Jelly: Get from your
druggist one ounce of almozoin. dis
solve In u pint cold water; add two
teaspoenfuls of glycerine; SIR Wen
and let stand over night. There is
no better treatment for blackheads
than this cream jelly, for it COM
pletely removes pore-dirt and closes
large pores. 1t clears the complex
ion and makes the skin soft and
satiny.
EASY, QUICK SHAMPOO-For a
quick drying home shampoo there is
nothing so good as plain canthroN:
Dissolve a teaspoonful in q cup OF
tie at time and rub--just as you
would with any shampoo. Then
rinse we'll. Canthrox makes plenty
of rich lather that thoroughly
cIeanses the scalp, removes dand-
ruff, relieves itching and irritation
and leaves the hair soft, bright and
fluffy-so that it is easily dressed.
Never use soda as 1t fades the hair;
many soaps. too, are harmful, as
they leave the hair dry and brittle
and cause streaks.
HARMLESS DEPILATORY - To
remove superfluous hair from face
and forearms, mix a little delatone
with enough water to form paste,
cover the skin on which the annoy
ing hairs appear and let 1t remain
two or three minutes then wipe off
the paste and wash the skin with
warm water. Delatone costs one
dollar an ounce, but an ounce Is all
YOU will need. 1t is sold in up-to-
date drug stores. Should the hairs
reappear, they will be light and thin
and the second application of della
tone will permanently rid you of
them. -
COMPLEXION BEAUTIFIER -
Use this home made lotion and you
will find 1t more satisfactory than
anv powder or cosmetic. Dissolve
four ounces of spurmax in a half
mint of hot water, add two teaspoon
fuls of glycerine and let cool. APP
ply to the face, neck and forearms
with the palm of the hand and you
need not bother again all day about
your complexion. 1t affords pro-
lection against wind and weather.
although so dainty and delicate
that it's use cannot be detected. 1t
is especially fine for any one with
dark or oily skin, as 1T is a true COM
plexion beautifier and keeps the
skin smooth, soft and white. (Advt.)

DAVAO, Philippine Islands, Feb.
14.-Back to nature in the Phil
ippines isn't a life of luxury-it is
a life full of the hardships en-
dured by the pioneers who blazed
the trail of civilization through
the virgin forests and across the
plains.
Here, in the southernmost is
land of the Philippine group, are
over a hundred hardy. American
pioneers, blazing a trail for the
coming of the citizens of the main
land to Uncle Sans possessions in
the Orient.
ont unlike the pioneers of the
mainland, these pioneers of the
Orient are also fighting their bat
ties, with knife and rifle. Where
the Pilgrim fathers fought the In
dian, the Philippine planter fights
the Moro. These people are not
warlike, yet occasionally they run
amuck, and then there is trouble
which may be settled in day, and
then. again not for months, and
rarely without, the sacrifice of
life. Hemp is the predominant
crop, and dotted here and there
in Mindanao one sees the home
of the planter, the hacienda sit
ting in a tropical garden of won
derful plants and trees.
Davao is the governments real
bureau of agriculture, and it's
steady development means much
to the future of the Philippine is
lands. 1t is a land of toilers and
Itillers. The longest, whitest and
strongest hemp fiber comes from
the American plantations in Da-
vac.
There is a reason for this. 1t is
the man behind the hoe, and his
modern methods;-to him who
has turned gloomy, forest jungle
inhabited only by deer, boar and
boa constructor, into the Philip
pines most active garden spot.
Take a launch and travel around
the gulf, stopping at a different
American hacienda every hour or
so. That it was lal done in the
incredibly short space of ten years
is the really unbelievable part Of
the strange but true story.
The original pioneer of pioneers
is Capt. Jas. Burchfield. He came
out as captain of volunteers,
sent his company home and stayed
here.
Engineers who come to build
bridges and roads stay. Captains
of boats become infatuated with
| the luer of hemp and stay. Mer-
chants, professionals, all fall vic
tim to the hemp fear" and If they
leave they do 1t because they
have failed, although the failures
are very few.
Next on the list stands Frank
A. Crowhurst, who with admirable
skill nodded the Davao Planters
association into an organization
which bids fair to become the
chief agricultural authority of the
Philippine islands.
And there are others too nu-
merous to mention, some of whom
are still struggling with the will
who have given their lives after
the manner of frontiersmen, so
that those who are left might reap
the ahrvest. Among these are for
mer Governor Bolton, who gave
his life while going from one plan
tation to another, Planters
Sprague, Periot, Christian, Ship
ley and Libby. These are Davao's
martyred blazers of the trail.
Their lives were the sacrifice to
be laid on the altar of advancing
civilization.
1t is no place for the weakling,
nor does the government want
him.

on the side, renovating butter
without their knowledge, and that
he made profit for himself this
way. They had discharged him.
This seemed to fasten blame on
Musser. But Musser was not
there.
1t was manifestly unjust to sem
tence Sayre, but somebody must
be nipped.
The court and all concerned
finally agreed that Musser should
be hit. So Musser was fined, and
the Carstens company paid the
fine, and everybody went home
happy.
