backs. After the beating, which
took place at midnight, the girls
declare they were taken back to
their homes and showed across
the threshold where they lay I'M
conscious until found by rela-
tives. A total of more than thir,
ty wealthy Butler County mer

Try This Penslar Cream.

Women no longer use one toilet
cream for all purposes-that is,
if they are particular about the
little r~efnements of the toilet.
A n~ourishing, softening, heal

Penslar Buttermilk Cerate is one
thing; and a vanishing bleach
cream, used also for projecting
the skin is quite another.

Vanishing Cream is a very dain-
ty cream of the latter sort. 1t is
a dioxide cream, and con-
tains oxygen. 1t is really a vas
ishing cream-rub it on your
hand or cheek for a moment and
you will see for yourself.
A great many women use it be-
fore going into strong winds or
bright sunshine. Just a little
rubbed over the face and hands
then busted ever so lightly with
the powder puff, protects the
skin against all sorts of weather.
Of course it is fne-the Pen
star label is never found on any
thing but the highest quality
products. It's sure to please you.
Why not stop in and get a 25
cent jar next time you are near
our store. You might as well
have the best when it costs NO
more.

pration which has passed the Senate Alaska gains an
important increase The amount originally agreed for

The House bill only provided for the smaller amount

as the Alaska fund, into which goes license money
collected in Alaska outside of incorporated towns
Senator Jones is being warmly congratulated on the
winning fight which he has just made.

New Orleans, October 16-After a de- cline of to points in the early trading today the cotton market frmed upi re- covered tho loss and went to net ad- vance of to points The close was To D points over yesterdays close. Tn the first part of the session much of the business was to even up outstanding con tracts, but later fresh buying came in to- which the market readily responded.
 Poor cables and somewhat better weather map than expected caused the depression around the opening, but no real selling pressure developed. The de. tailed reports at the middle of the morn ing indicated heavy rains were general over Oklahoma. which the pulls consld- cred was disastrous to the late crop of that state.
 < stimulating influence vas found in reports from Alabama that farmers were getting as high as $50 a ton for cotton seed. Since it requires 1500 pounds of seed cotton to -->.se a bale of lint cotton the trade figured that seed represented s25 a bale to the farmer in the sections where high prices were prevailing.
