A simplified method is here given
for the quick removal of hairy or

after 2 or minutes rub off, wash the

Missouri Dedicates
Building at Fair

San Francisco, March l3.-Mis-
souri, is today dedicating not only the
Missouri pavilion, but the Missouri
home of the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional exposition. The event is so
designated on the official announce
ments of the events, and the Missouri
commissioners, in dispensing with
unnecessary formality, in cordially
welcoming visitors, and in providing
every possible comfort and conven-
fence, have made their pavilion
home, as we'll as pavilion.
The dedication ceremonies mark
the beginning of number of inn
portant Missouri events which will
bring thousands of Missourians and
former residents of the state to the
exposition.
There are 1850 members of the
Missouri Society of California, and as
many of them as are not bedridden,
were on hand today to help make
joyful noise for the old state. The
ceremonies were held on the steps in
front of the Missouri pavilion. The
speakers included President Charles
C. Moore, Governor johnson and
Mayor Rolph.
The Missouri Society of California
was one of the first state societies to
engage in work in behalf of the par
ticipation of its home state. For
more than year and half, it has
carried on a campaign to this end,
and Missouri is now represented by
more separate exhibits than any
other state.

Death of Mrs. A. F. Pry.

We are constantly facing the un
certain. How true to the experiences
of life are the words of Solomon,
when he said, Thou knowest moi
what day may bring forth.
Another home has been saddened
by the dark shadow of death which
has fallen across its threshold. The
victim of this cruel invader was Mrs.
Caroline Pry, who was born at
Hagerstown, Maryland, December
22nd, 1848.
In early life, when but 16 years
old, she was converted and united
with the German Reform church,
and ever after lived an upright and
consistent christian life.
On the 18th day of February, 1876,
in the city of Baltimore she was hap
PLY married to Alfred L. Pry. As a
result of this union five children were
born to them, four of whom survive
her. Since the death of her husband
some two and half years ago, she
has made her home with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Traver.
Mrs. Pry was a woman of many
ennobling traits of character. In her
home life she aspired not to the great
things, but to those little details
which ministered to the happiness
and comfort of her entire family, and
thus demonstrated her unselfish
interest for each ones good.
As neighbor she was highly es-
teemed and respected by all who
knew her. She was not content to
live within the circle of her own
home, and confine her efforts to her
own household, but wherever an
opportunity was opened and she felt
she could help some one else to bear
the burdens Of life, she was ever
ready to 60 and lend helping hand.
Her friends were numbered by the
circle Of her acquaintance. Every
one who knew her loved and re-
spected her.
For number of years she has
been a sufferer, yet during all her
severe affliction she bore it patiently.
All that medical skill, tender and
loving care could do to relieve her
condition was done, yet that enemy
from whom there Is noescape claimed
her, and on last Monday morning she
bid adieu to the scenes Of earth and
passed out into the great beyond.
The sympathy Of the entire COM
munity d extended to the children
and relatives in their deep sorrow.

about, armed with reference. books,
note paper, frown and "Please don't
disturb mel must get ready for that

are care worn, hurried, and seemingly
engaged indefinitely with grading test
papers. We at first thought of the
Lecture Course with a little thrill of
horror, since it comes just at this busy
time, but every one seems willing to
double their work some other time
rather than miss this sure to-be-a-pood-
number.
: A Senior class meeting is announced
for Wednesday. All such important
questions as class colors, announce
ments, Baccalaurate affairs, and COM
mencement exercises to be discussed.
only nine more weeks after this! They
are passing swiftly too, for we Seniors
surely haven't time to stop and count
the minutes of any recreation period.
We haven't much recreation in fact.
: Next term the American History class
will take up Civil Government. We ex-
pect pretty lively time. We are near
ly thru our history text books, 50 we
will have plenty of time for govern

willing to do all he can to help the Staff

German Clocks to be Advanced
to Save Oil

London, March 1.-THE Standard
has dispatch from Copenhagen say
ing that from April the hands of
every clock in Germany will be ad-
vanced one hour. II is estimated that
one hour of earlier rising during the
six summer months will amount to a
saving in the consumption of petro-
leum equivalent to the value of S.
600, 600.
The real reason for this new regu-
lation is the fact that petroleum stock
is decreasing al a rate calculated to
alarm the authorities.

some time. The Freshmen have al
ways been given good place in the
high school work. They have let the
other classes of the school know that
they are not dead but are trying to
build up the B. H. S. We have two of
our bows on the Annual Staff, Ed Camp
bell and Clyde Borland. These boys
are we'll able to fill the places for which
they have been chosen and we know
will prove to be helpful to the Staff in
many ways.
