Morphine had to be given me. Was
ottended by a doctor who pronounced

water and Tablets for some time and
received no relief from them. /

felt much relieved. While taking the

THE ATTORNEY GENERALsHIP

Judge Carriers announced intention
of contesting for the office of Attorney
General by way of a vindicatlon, is
followed by talk of Mr.. Rouse as an
opposing candidate for the nomination
Mr.. Rouse was counsel for Solicitor
Abernethy in the investigation pro-
ceedings. The Observer believes it is
unfortunate that the Carter-Abernethy
incident should be brought into State
politics. 1t is no credit to North Car
DINA craftsmanship that the import
ant position of Attorney General
should be made a football by the poll
ticians. 1t is improbable that any
degree of sentiment will be developed
among the people of the State for
using that high Office as an award in
vindication of any citizens grievance.

A GOOD SEASON ASSURED.

Reports The Observer has received
from the western part of the State in
dictate that the mountains are prepar-
ing for the largest crowds or V1sltors
this summer that the State has ever
known. Many country homes have
been opened thus early for the season,
and the proprietors of hotels have
booked more advance orders than has
been usual at this stage in the year.
The bookings are largely by home
neople. but the State will get more
visitors from northern points than 1t
has ever had. A fourishing summer
for the mountains appears to be q

AGRICULTURAL WORK
Of CLUB IS OUTLINED
Commercial Club VIII Pro-
mote Corn and Potato
Show In December

A meeting of the agricultural depart
mert of the commercial club was held
last night to discuss general plans for
club work. Besides the corn shows and
farmers institutes to be held in several
parts of the county, plans were made
for a corn and potato show to be held
in Salem four days, beginning Decem-
Der /. This snow will not only take up
the discussion of corn and potatoes and
an exhibit, but will devote one day to
dairying, when a Marion county Jersey
cattle CLUB will be formed. Another
day of the Salem show will be known as
horticultural day when soils, crops and
live stock will be discussed.
At the suggestion of L. j, Chaplin, the
advisability of sending an exhibit Of
corn to the First National corn show
at st. Paul, Minnesota, was discussed
This corn show will attract farmers
from all the central and eastern states,
and Mr.. Chaplin is of the opinion that if
this county should be properly repre-
sented, it would be great advertise
ment
"The general impression among many
Eastern farmers is that this is a fruit
country and that corn cannot be
raised, said Mr.. Chaplin, "and it
would be a fine thing for us to show
what fine grade of corn can be raised
in this part Of the state.
This idea cannot be carried out un
lens the money necessary to make the
display is voted by the commercial club.
Another suggestion made at the meet
ing last evening, was that some time
next spring, Salem should have a good
roads day, when every member of the
commercial club should select a special
tract of road and make it his business
to put it in proper shape.
There seems to be a general feeling
among the members of the agricultural
department that an effort should be
made to secure a government specialist
who would stay in this valley and
study the prune situation and assist in
combating the brown rot and other dis.
eases of prune trees Other states have
secured government specialists, and it
is hoped by tae agricultural department
that the claims of this part of the state
Will be put before the proper Wash
ington authorities and study of prune
conditions be taken up by al expert.

HOW TO ABSORB AN
UNLOVELY COMPLEXION
( x x x i X x x x X x x 4 4 x

This is what you should do to shed a
spoiled complexion: Spread evenly over
the face, covering every inch of skin, a
thin layer of ordinary mercolized wax,
Let this stay on over night; wash it off
next morning. Repeat daily until your
complexion is as clear, soft and beauti-
ful as a young girls This result is in
evitable, no matter how soiled or dis
colored the complexion. The wax liter
ally peels off the filmy surface skin, ex-
posing the lovely young skin, exposing
the lovely young skin beneath. The
process is entirely harmless, so little of
the old skin coming off at a time.
Mercolized wax is obtainable at any
drug store; one ounce usually suffices.
It's a veritable wonder-wOrker for
rough, tanned reddened, blotchy, pimp.
led or freckled skin.
Pure powdered saxolite is excellent
for a wrinkled skin. An ounce of it
dissolved in half pint witch hazel
makes a refreshing wash-lotion This
renders the skin quite firm and smooth;
indeed, the very first application erases
the inner lines; the deeper ones soon
follow.
