After March /, 1912, the sub.
scriptiOn price Of the BLADE viii
be one dollar year in advance
THE only change from the old rate
is in the last two words, in ad-
vance. I" It takes money every
week in the year to run news
paper more money than many
people realize, and this tcash-in-
advance" plan will save us much
work and considerable money, be-
sides furnishing us money just
when we need it.
Looking at the matter from the
other side, no one will receive the
paper who does not want to receive
it. If You pay for it a year you
will receive it a year and no at
tempt will be made to force it on
you longer. We are always glad
to add new names to our list and
sorry to part with old friends, but
only want to keep any name on
our books so long as we can give
full value for the money.
Isn't that fart
You pay for the paper as long as
you want to receive it. It stops
at the end Of that time. If you
like it well enough to renew, you
do so; if not, no ''duns" one or
more years later.
Every subscriber whose time has
expired will receive a notice of the
fact before March l so he can re-
new if he wishes to do SO. Ii he
does not care to take the paper
longer, all we ask is that he square
up the old account. We expect to
lose a few subscribers by this
change, but believe that most OF
our readers will see in this method
the best solution of a perplexing
and sometimes exasperating prob
lena method that is absolutely
fair to both sides.

Class Reunion

] Santa all the year had beer
planning a trip for the senior class
of II of L. Fl. S. His plans COM
pleted, invitations werereceived by
Ethel Kent, Helga johnson, Maud
Matsell, Dora Coins, Victor LO-
max, Roy Welsh, Orville Sweem,
Alva EngIehart, and Miss Hazel
Linn of Forker, announcing that a
party would be given them at the
home of one of their number, Fred
Clinefelter.
The trip was planned and looked
forward to with no little pleasure,
and as the condition Of the roads
did not admit of the usual mode of
travel, and the state Of pocketbook
of the young gentlemen Of the class
did not admit of an airship, the
three miles seemed a short walk to
that invincible crowd.
With much merriment the com
rades were on their way, proclaim
ing their arrival by a jovial class
yell which brought their host to the
door with a royal welcome.
An informal evening was spent,
during which the class of III re-
viewed the past, talked of the
present and planned for the future,
which we believe holds much for
these loyal comrades. The class
was complete with the exception of
Dora Coins, who had gone to her
home near st. Joseph, Roy Welsh
having come up from Missouri uni
versity for the week.
When the wec sma' hours of the
night were drawing near, the
mother of the host called us to the
dining room, there to partake of a
delectable luncheon.
After toasts and speeches We
bade our host "adios, senior, . and,
pIedging a class reunion for the
2sth- day of April, 1912, the class
of III hastened hOmeward.

Milady's Toilet Table
By Mime. D'MILLE

More women worry over superfiu-
Gus hairs than any other disfiguring
bler'ish. wild hairs on face or fore
arms can be easily. quickly and safe
ly removed by the use of delatone
paste. Just mix powdered delatone
I with enough water to cover the hairs
apply. and after two or three miriut es
rub off, wash the skin, and the hairs
will be gone.
The luxury OF a perfect dry sham
poo cannot be equaled To four ounces
of powdered orris root add an original
package OF therox. Sift a teaspoonful
OF this mixture on the head, then
brush out thoroughly and the scalp
will be clean, cool and refreshed, while
the hair will be light wavy and beau
tifully lustrous.
ITO make a true complexion beauti-
fer that will give your skin a lovely
tone instantly, yet is harmless and
lasting, dissolve an original package
OF mayatone in a half pint of witch
hazel and rub a little on face, neck
and forearms each morning. Maya
tone will not come of nor show like
powder and keeps the skin soft, fair
and youthful looking.
The eyebrows should be brushed
gently each day to train them to grow
in an arch, and If they are thin and
straggly pyroXin should be applied
with finger tips. Pyroxin will also
make the eyelashes grow long and
silky"

UNIT RULE WRITTEN
INTO DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM IN OHIO
Governor Harmon Wins I'M
portant Point in Fight for
Convention Delegates.

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 5.-The unit rule
was written into the Democratic State
platform by the resolutions committee
of the State convention here early to-
day.
Sixteen committeeman out Of twenty
one voted for the plank which seeks tc
bind to Governor Harmon the vote OF
nineteen district national delegates who
are pledged to Woodrow Wilson. Mayor
Baker, of Cleveland, led the fight
against the unit rule.
Baker left the committee room at 4 At
a. M, announcing he would move the
adoption of a subplank instructing only
the States six delegates-at-large for
Governor Harmon.
Ed H. Moore, manager Of Harmon
unit rule fight, declared Bakers amend
ment would be defeated by the votes OF
600 Harmon delegates.
When the convention began to assem-
BILE 1t was with the assurance that pro-
cedings would be opened with the big
for biting sarcasm in debate, was all
CRY, and took no pains to concal 1t.
Moore, for Harmon, announced that the
line of argument to be followed by the
Harmon men will be that the delegates
are bound to support the unit rule by
the States Presidential preference vote.
Baker met defeat on another platform
plank-the recall He proposed a plank
approving the recall of all officials, In
Guiding judges. 1t was defeated, 12 to 3,
as was an amendment approving the
recall of officials aside from judges.
There was no mention of woman'S suf-
frage in the platform.
