MANY TONS OF
 FERTILIZER SOLD

This week has witnessed the most active trade in fertilizer ever known in Conway before. Since the weather has made farm work impossible for the past few days, hundreds of wag- ons have been coming in for fertilizer. One dealer said today that he had al- ready sold seven carloads of commer- cial fertilizer this week, and everyone handling this commodity is busily en- gagged in selling it to the farmers. The late season, it is thought, is re- sponsible for the unusual demand, the farmers feeling that it is necessary to use artificial means to rush their crops to maturity.

WRECK AT P|NEY
 BLOCKS TRAFFIC

A freight wreck at Piney, 12 miles north of Russellville, at noon today blocked the tracks to such an extent that train No. 120, the Hot Springs Kansas City special, due at Conway at 2:43 was annulled and train No. 103, due here at 6 20 this afternoon, was posted as being indefinitely late. The wrecked train was the second section of southbound freight No. 157, 15 cars of which were derailed. Neither the egine nor the caboose, however, left the tracks, and it is stated that no one was seriously in- jured One brakeman was slightly hurt in jumping from the train.

Many women whose upper lips and

and quickly removed by applying

hairy surface: apply, and after two
or three minutes rub Off, wash the
skin and the hairs will be gone.
Nine times out of ten when a wo-
man looks old before her time she
has neglected her complexion. Dis
solve in half pint or witch hazel an
original package of mayatone ana
gently rub a little on the face. neck
and arms, and you will be delighted
with the results. Use this daily in
stead of powder or other cosmetics
and the skin will be smooth. soft and
satinlike. Mayatone preserves and
restores youthful loveliness of skin.
When a woman does not care to
risk catching cold washing her head
she can get splendid results by dry

That the Crackers are likely to
hammer the very head off any

yesterday when the Atlantans lit
into Roy Radabaugh with as little
consideration as though he had
been a full sized pitcher and en-
titled to a drubbing. The little
Billiken was putting EN- across
just the way the Crackers wanted
them. He was not trying to, but
that didn't make much difference,
for the results were the same. The
