Fashion Orders Light Shades In
Stockings.

Stockings.
Women will wear white or flesh
colored stockings this summer. So
says the arbitress of fashion. But
she may not be able to get them.
Fashion DEGREES stockings of the
snow shade or flesh color and the
mean old dealers will not have
enough to go around.
Fashion changed its mind this
year At first she had decided that
women should wear stockings of tan,
and several other colors were not
put under the ban. But now, the
decree is almost mandatory--white
or flesh color will be the thing"
Anything else will be hopelessly be-
hind.
It's the old problem Of supply and
demand, say tradesmen The edict
that white or flesh color was to be
the "thing" this year, did not go
forth early enough to put manufact-
turers on their guard. The middle
man says he is overstocked with
black and tan stockings, but unable
to get orders for white and flesh col
ors from the factory.
The popularity of white dresses
and white outing coats has caused
the run OIL the stockings of lightest
shade, according to authorities.

A BALD-HEADED WOMAN.
Shorn OF Her Crown of Beauty, Loses
in Love and Marriage.

Shorn OF Her Crown of Beauty, Loses
in Love and Marriage.
Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman Who could love and marry
bald-headed woman? What charms
could one array to offset such dis
figurement?
A woman's goal is usually love
and marriage. Her browning glory is
her hair The loss of her hair mars
her beauty, happiness, and success.
Yet, right here in Williamson, there
are thousands of woman who are
neglecting or injuring their hair to
such an extent that 1t is only mat
ter of time when it Will be utterly
ruined
Many women destroy the beauty
of their hair through thoughtless-
ness or ignorance of certain facts.
They use curling irons over-heated
or to excess, which destroys the nat
ural oil Of the hair, causing 1t to
split, breSk, and come out. They do
not shampoo their hair often enough
or too often. They use soaps or
preparations which contain ingredi-
ents positively harmful to the scalp
and hair.
AS a result of such treatment, dan
druff is created, the hair loosens,
loses color, falls out, and badness
commences unless proper and prompt
precautions are taken in time Then.
again, microbes and certain diseases
bring about unhealthy scalp and
hair conditions.
Almost any woman may rid her.

and hair il she will but use the right
remedy. We have that remedy, and

ness or 1t will not cost the user any

LETTER FROM POND TO PIKE.
WILLIE ADVOCATE.
Speaks OF Great Development That
is Coming TO Williamson and
Vicinity

Speaks OF Great Development That
is Coming TO Williamson and
Vicinity.
Dear Editor: Since writing you
last our postoffice, Toler, KY, has
been discontinued This leaves only
one postoffice (Pinsonfork) on Pond
creek.
Things are undergoing great
transition here The N. 4 w. rail-
way people are surveying an extern
sion of their road from Williamson
TO the head OF Pond creek, distance
of some fourteen miles. And the
Pond Creek Coal Co are still making
things lively buying mineral and
surface.
1t is the general belief that work
will open up on the railroad and
also on the development of mineral
as soon as weather conditions are
settled. This will be a great boom
to what few farmers that have not
already parted with their holdings.
The railroad Is badly needed i'm
provement since our public roads,
as stated in former communication
are almost impossible, and great
deal of domestic commerce is carried
ron in this locality. Now, what the
writer desires most to see along
these lines of development is the sink
ing of test wells for oil and gas, as
1t has always been his opinion that
oil will be found here on Pond. |
think there will soon be mining
town here, from every indication
and hope we may have we'll or
ganized one right from the begin
ming. Respectfully,

Interesting Experiment.

From Williamson comes word
of an interesting experiment. The
Sycamore Coal Company, taking adj
vantage of land that would otherwise
be mere waste, 10 planting hundreds
OF fruit trees on its lands not used
directly for mining purposes
Throughout the mining and 9TH.
er sections of the State there are
thousands Of acres Of idle land that
could in this manner be transformed
into productive and money-making
tracts And, in addition, the Desc
late appearance that so often char
acterizes the mining country could
to large extent be done away with.
Much of the unproductive terri
tory Of southern West Virginia, as
The Advertiser has often pointed
out heretofore, is excellently adapted
to fruit raising, and with propr care
and attention, the best grade OF APP
pies and small fruits can be produce
ed.
"The experiment of the Sycamore
Coal Company is one that may we'll
be followed by other similar corpor-
ations apd by. private individuals
who own lands that are now unpro-
ductive, but that are exceilently
adapted to fruit raising.
The above from the Huntington
Advertiser is splendid logic and
should be acted upon as suggested.
! We shall hope to see all Of our coal
operators failing into line and plant
| ing fruit trees on their vacant prop
erty and along their roadways.

Who is huxurating in the Different

Who is Luxurating i'm the Different
Countries on Europe.
Mittweida, Germany, Feb. is, 1912.
Dear Mr.. Garner:
My promise to write you OCCASION
ally seems to have been sadly neg
lected. While my intentions were
of the very best, the constant chang
ing around from place to place almost
precludes anything but taking in the
sights and replenishing the excheq-
uer.
The trip across was fine, and /
stood it extremely we'll, being on
deck every day, something that lot
of our fellow passengers can't say,
even though the weather conditions
were almost perfect.
One of the enjoyable things con-
nected with an ocean trip Is the num-
Der of people one meets on their way
home from all parts of the world
and one of the points of the trip /
most highly prize.
England, with it's tremendous
population, its immense traffic, its
political disturbances, ancient ira
ditions art galleries, museums, pal-
aces. royalty and shipping, was one
continuous round OF interest and
well worth the trip alone
My stay In Paris was delightful.
The grandeur and beauty of this
city cannot be described in few
words. 1t certainly lives up to all
advance notices and great way be-
yond The place is always crowded
with Americans, and this makes 1t
a great deal more homelike than
any European city | have visited. The
Paris Edition of the New York Her
aid gives all the important American
news and served to Keep me in touch
with home affairs.
Have been in Germany for nearly
three months, spending most of the
time with relatives here. The gov
eminent of the cities here is almost
ideal: Conservation is one of their
especially strong features; nothing
being wasted. This conservation
idea is even more firmly planted in
the agricultural sections, and 1t is
amazing the way farmers utilize
their soil. What in America ic con-
sidered oftentimes useless is here
made to yield big returns.
My visit to Berlin was rich in ex-
perience to me- I was fortunate
enough to be in Berlin during the
big celebration given in honor OF
Frederick the Great, King of Prus-
STA back in the Eighteenth century,
attended IA celebration i'm honor pt
the Kaiser's Birthday on January
9th The military operations were
something grand.
On the goth / attended the play

era House The Kaiser, Kaiserin,
Crown Prince and Princesses were all
there, along with lot of other no
tables, and ! was congratulated on
being able to attend this perform
ance, as the. Kaiser rarely ever at
tends the Opera.
think with a little side trip to
Italy and Holland will have about
completed my stay over here and

must say in closing that all these
things mentioned only go to make a
fellow more heartily prize his citi-

good opportunity to see the decora-

BRYAN

William Jennings Bryan, three
times leader of the Democratic party,
and members of the pioneer pro-
gressives of the party, will hold a
caucus in Columbus April Is. The
date was set following a. conference
with friends of the colonel, after his
address before the Constitutional
convention.
That the proposed caucus will
have much to do with the campaign
for the presidency is not disputed,
and it is being freely predicted that
Colonel Bryan will again consent to
be a candidate.
