TO KEEP SKIN IN FINE
 CONDITION ALL SUMMER

It would be much better for the skin if little cream, powder or rouge were used during the heated term. Mixed with precipitation, dust and grime, these things are anything but beautifying. Ordinary mercolized wax will do more for the complexion. and without giving an oily. streaked, spotted or pasty ap- pearance. It is the ideal application for the season, as it not only keeps the pores cl can, but daily removes particles of scarf skin which have been soiled by dirt or weather. By constantly keeping the complexion clear white, satiny, It does more towards perpetuating a youthful countenance than any Of the arts or artifices commonly employed. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtain able at any drug store, will completely renovate the worst complexion. It Is applied at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning.
 To keep the skin from sagging or wrinkling, or to overcome such con- dition, there's nothing better than a face bath made by dissolving l ounce powdered saxolite in F pint witch hazel.

EXPERT FINDS HEssIAN FLY.
Grub Has Done Half Million Dollars
Damage Near Hutchinson.

Hutchinson, Kan, May 12.-E. G.
Kelley, a government expert, who has
been making an investigation in south
ern Harper county, says the Hessian
fly has done probably half million
dollars damage in a radius of a few
miles of Manchester, on the Hutchin-
son & Southern.
The fly has done all the damage
that it will do this year, according to
Mr.. Kelley. The eggs were deposited
between April Is and May 1, and only
the stalks of wheat on which the eggs
were deposited will be damaged. The
problem for the farmer is to save
next years crop. Mr.. Kelley advises
that every stubble field be burned
after the wheat is off. This has to be
followed by discing and blowing. To
keep a stubble field or allow volunteer
wheat to grow is sure to infect the
next years crop.

ESBON ON A BOOM
Jewell County Town Is Pros
porous and Knows 1t.
History of Place and Prediction
for Its Future.

Esbon, Kan, May 1.-THE people of
Esbon believe they have a good right
to claim that their town is entitled to
a place on the map. The population
is about 500. 1t has fine system of
electric lights, white way, and an
inexhaustible supply of water soft and
pure as can be found anywhere. The
we'll supplying the water is situated on
the highest point in Jewell county, a
mile from town, and is 60 feet deep.
The water is so soft that the Rock Is
land officials have had an eye on
Esbon long time.
The election of J. B. Justice for
mayor has already proven a wise Sc
lection. He issued a proclamation to
clean the town of all rubbish, and the
work is going forward. There will be
no let up until Esbon is a spotless
town. Mayor-elect ]. B. Justice came
to Jewell county in 1877. He located
in the White Rock valley and for
years he was among the most prosper
Gus farmers. In this valley farm lands
are worth from SIS to 500 an acre.
1t is full of alfalfa and the wheat crop
has turned out more than As bushels
an acre. Mr.. Justice recently came
to town, and he and his son are oper-
ating the Justice clothing house.
Esbon has two banks, the State
bank with deposits aggregating $751;
900, and the Farmers State, whose
deposits range from $4,000 to $105,-
600.
The Farmers State bank block, a
LWO-SlOIy OTlCk DUilulHS, mas d
age of SO feet and depth of 40 feet.
1t is occupied by the bank and the
Chandler Mercantile company on the
first floor, and lodge room and offices
on the second floor. The cost of the
building was $4,000.
Another big improvement in Esbon
is the new Catholic church, built of
brick. For the last two years Father
John O'Reilly has been priest in
charge. He worked with untiring
energy to build the church. He sue
ceeded with the generous donations
from the members. The church, resi-
dence and ground cost $4,000.
Esbon is proud of her school sys-
tenn. The graduating class this year
has three boys and three girls. They
are Enos Hayward, Raymond Wagner,
Meyers and Helen Vance. The schools
are on the accredited list at the State
university, and these graduates expect
to continue their education in some
higher institutions.
There is some interesting history
connected with Esbon and the town
ship of the same name. The first
treasurer of Jewell county was a man
named Kellogg. The first white male
child born in Jewell county was in the
family of the first treasurer, and he
was named Esbon Kellogg, in honor
of the name of Esbon township. When
the town started the promoters gave
it the name of Esbon in remembrance
of the first child born in the county.
Esbon Kellogg has made good. He
owns half a section of well improved
land in ESbon township.
Esbon is one of the busy little towns
on the Rock Island road. Most of the
farmers come to town in autos. The
farms are well improved, and many
