Hairs Will Vanish
After This Treatment
(Toilet Helps)

You can keep your skin free from
hair or fuzz by the occasional use of
plain delatone and in using it you need
have no fear of marring or injuring
the skin. A thick paste is made by
mixing some OF the powdered delatone
with water. Then spread on the hairs
and after 2 or minutes rub off, wash
tho skin and all traces of hair have
vanished. Be careful, however, to get
real delatone.

of you, Agnes!"
IF I'm good for anything. it's be-
cause you've done so much for me"
Agnes assured her. But for you
to study as I have done, so I would
not have been able to accept the
kind of position that Hale G. Balm
bridge offer"
Miss Lucy looked up with added
interest. Uuntil this moment Agnes
had not mentioned the name of the
firm to which she was going, and
her aunt had not asked.
She Knows the Name

the William Hale that goes to our

'As to Mr.. Hale - why do not

acquaintance. You see. Aunt Lucy,
he is one of the well-to-do people
in our church who sit in the front
pews, while we are the hum BILE
workers who sit in the gallery"
There was no bitterness in the
speech. She was too happy to re-
sent the fact just now that Philip
Hale's father would regard her as
only a humble member of the toiling
class.
And, seeing her happiness the
aunts pale face broke INTO a smile.
"I'll tell you what we1l do" she
suggested. Suppose, agnes honey,
that we have a little party tonight
to celebrate = just we two"
That you'd be fine!" exclaimed
Agnes fondly.

protesting girl from the little
kitchen. and, with her own hands,
pl epared supper - a wonderful meal
in which a juicy steak, such as was
seldom seen in the household, oc-
cupied the place of honor.
And now" announced Agnes
when supper was over and the
dishes washed and put away, "get
or your hat and coat, for we are
going to celebrate by attending a
moving picture show. My treat,
you understand"
"Oh, my dear" Miss Lucy began
to demur. DO you think we ought
to go?"
"Of course we ought to-" Agnes
exclaimed. Moreover, we are not
going to the nickel-show on the
corner - that's too plebeian for us
just now and on such an occasion
as this. We are going to one of the
big places where seats are a quarter
and where stentorian singers charm
the ear when the eyes become
weary.
Come, hurry up; I am crazy to
begin to spend just little bit of
the money that I hope to earn to-
morrow. After this, we will econo-
mize, but tonight We'll have a

And, laughing like pair of happy

promise Of youth, went out to-

CORN CROP WILL
NOT HIT RECORD
Not Nearly as Good as Wheat
and Hay in This Part of
Pennsylvania at Least

State Department of Agriculture
reports tell of general complaint con-
corning the backward season for corn
and the inability to plant on account
Of the wet weather and they indicate
that the acreage planted in Pennsyl-
vania this season will be considerably
smaller than a year ago. Farmers
throughout the State hive written to
the Department that much damage
has been done to the corn prospects
by the heavy rains and through the
ravages Of the cut-worms and the
wire worms. Corn is from two to
three weeks back and unless favorable
weather brings it along rapidly, there
is some danger that the early frosts
may do considerable more damage to
the crop.
Some of the farmers say that the
ground was so wet that much of 1t
could not be planted and in some sec
tions only about fifty per cent. OF an
average yield is Expected from the
ground that the farmers succeeded in
planting. On the slopes general COM
plant is made that the heavy rains
washed out the early paintings and
J0dL III SOIne IWO anu I'LL OC
paintings were necessary, while In
others the planting was lost entirely.
There is considerable damage done by
birds pulling out the seed in the wet
and soft ground.
Farmers are now planting corn for
ensilage and fodder and under more
favorable conditions than earlier in
the season expect better results. In
some instances fields that had been
prepared for corn have been sown to
buckwheat.
The wet weather which prevailed
during May and June has resulted in a
slight decrease in the acreage of pota-
toes planted for this reason and the
condition of the crop is below the
standard of other years.
An unusually large acreage planted
to potatoes was expected this year on
account of the good prices obtained
last Fall and winter, but reports
reaching the Department indicate that
in many sections the farmers were un-
able to successfully plant as many po-
tatoes as desired on account of the
condition of the ground.
In many cases the potatoes did not
come up we'll and the potato beetle
was unusually bad. Some potatoes
were ruined by the bugs eating the
plants before they managed to get
through the ground. Like practically
all farm crops the season is about two
weeks late.

CHAPTER III

CHAPTER III
Copyright, 1916, Star Coz
A little gray-haired, gray-eyed
woman sat rocking before window of
her tiny parlor when Agnes Morley
let herself softly into the small fiat
she shared with her aunt
The woman's thin hands were
folded in her lap. Her face was
also from the care of rearing her
dead brothers child to womanhood,
wrinkled from the anxiety of try
ing to make both ends of a failing
income meet.
The girl tip-toed up behind her
Dearest" she whispered, I've
got job at last, and now I'm going
to start in taking care of you"
Agnes tried to laugh at the out
burst of tears and exclamations
with which her aunt clasped her
in her arms, And then for a half
hour she sat at the feet of her
elderly relative, answering all ques-
tions and obeying the reiterated
command that she tell every
thing about it."
The news that her niece and
foster-daughter had been offered a
position which would make her
practically self-supporting brought
to Miss Morley q joy that was pa
thetic in it's intensity.
The fears that had beset the spin
stet for the last two years now
seemed dispelled as If by the
gracious hand of the Lord, to whom
fortune. Nobody but He and her
self. she mused, could appreciate
fully what this business offer meant
to her and the child whom she loved
as II she were her own daughter.
Agnes herself had no real knowl-

anguish of foreboding that had be-
set her aunt of late. The small life
insurance left by the girls father
had been expended upon ner cloth
ing and the incidentals to her educa-
ton by the time that Agnes was a
junior in high school.
Miss Lucy had supplied from her
own small funds the sum necessary
to complete her niece's education
and to enable her to take a course in
the business college.
An Answer to Prayer
When Agnes had crept up behind
her aunt and whispered the glad
tidings into her ear, she had broken
in upon gloomy revery which had
as it's subject the wonder as to where
the next months rent would come
from.
The girls announcement that she
had obtained an excellent position
WIN prospects OF advancement
came, the older woman declared, as
direct answer to prayer.
OF course she cried a little at first;
tFen she laughed and, drying her
eyes, announced in a trembling
voice that she was IAN old FOOL

self to confess now. II have kept

her aunt had been, yet until now she

River and HarbOrs Report
Is Adopted by House

Washington, d. c., July 12.-In the
absence of fifteen of the thirty-six
Pennsylvania congressman, the House
yesterday adopted the conference re-
port on the rivers and harbors bills by
a vote of 1877 TO 1872. The bill carries
an appropriation of $42,ss6,0S5, in
cluding $2,724,G50 in the continuing
contract authorizations. This is an
increase of about s5,000,000 over the
amount carried in the House bill. The
Senate will accept the report after a
filibustering debate, to be led by SEN
ator Kenyon.
None of the Pennsylvania items was
changed in the bill. The Delaware
river receives $2,165, 900, exclusive of
100000 for a continuing contract on
Marmaduke ledge. This is the largest
amount apportioned the Delaware
river project in many years.

phically opened his account for that
amount, and took the other 500
home again. So in one day, five peo-
pie offered one office $3.50, of which
500 was accepted.
The real significance of this state
of affairs cannot be understood with
out an understanding of the class of
people who make up the postal savings
depositors. The natural question to
ask about a man who cannot deposit
$500 in a postoffice is why he does not
deposit it in a bank. Every American
city has plenty of banking facilities,
absolutely safe and solid. The re-
strictions on the postal savings law
were manifestly put there to prevent
field of private enterprise.
But the typical postal savings de-
positor does not see the case that way.
He is suspicious of anything that does
not bear a government seal, and soon
er than trust his money to a private
bank he will bury it in a tomatoes
class included in the 100000 postal
savings depositors of course; but ~
per cent. of the deposits stand to the
credit of the foreign-born The great
er part of the depositors are day-la-
borers. All these foreigners are ac-
customed to the postal savings sys-
tenn from their European homes.
They are not going to put their money
in any bank not backed by the gov
iting eleven dollars and forty cents,
and the bank in question has capital
and surplus of fifty millions
These facts were well known, and
largely responsible for the establish
ment of our postal savings system in
the first place. But when the new
law came up for consideration a few
weeks ago, it was stated that 35, 900
depositors had reached the $500 limit,
and the situation with respect to
them was therefore just as bad as it
had been in the first place. Actual ex-
perience proved, too, that the limiting
of the individual deposit to 800 was
poor policy, because, for some reason
or other, the immigrant has the hab-
it of boarding his savings until they
make a considerable total before he
offers them for deposit. Thus he
would store away his fingered dollar
bills until he had 5000 or $3.50. When
he offered this to the teller, he was
told that only 500 could be taken
each month. Not infrequently this
resulted in the would-be patrons TAX
ing himself and all his money away
in a rage.
The depositors as a class are suspic-
ious. They have worked hard for
their money, and they are not going
to take any chances on losing 1t. Any
thing about the system which they dc
not understand arouses their uneasi-
ness and dislike, and the restrictions
just done away with belonged to the
things they could not understand.
