When you start on your journey,

use water and soap on the face-with
the cinders and dust, 1t is too drying.
Instead, carry a number of little three
or four.inch cheesecloth squares, and,
when the face needs refreshing or
cleaning, smear It with cold cream and
go over 1t carefully with a cheesecloth
square, wiping off cream and dirt to.

clean, the ears carefully wiped out,
the eyebrows and lashes brushed free
from dust with your tiny eyebrow
brush, the nostrils wiped out. then dust
on powder again, and you will look as
clean as can be. The cream and pow.
der act as q protection to the skin. At
night, go to the dressing room, take
of all your clothes, Just as you would

Just as soon as the young adven.

alone, or even earlier, It is time to put
him in rompers. Dresses are in the

It should be. The greater part of the

the purpose OF gathering some po-
litical advantage.
The constitutional amendment ought
to be supported by every man regard
less Of politics or place Of residence.
The Gardner bill received an almost
unanimous support from the members
of all political parties when 1t was
submitted to the Missouri general as
sembly. Although the measure orig
mated in the brain of a Democrat,
Frederick d. Gardner and was intro
duced In the general assembly by a
Democrat, It was generally supported
by all of the Republicans. As of the
65 Republican LEGISLATORS voted for the
bill, six being absent
1t has been warmly advocated by
farmers organizations and societies.
The principles upon which the Card
ner bill is founded has been endorsed
by financiers and by great statesmen.
Land banks are not experimental,
The first land bank was created by
Frederick the Great. Prussia. with a
population with but FIVE and one-half
million had for seven years maintained
war against nations containing
population of 108,000,00O. When Fred
erick the Great emerged triumphant
from that contest he found his fields
devastated, his cities in ashes, the
very roofs Of the farm houses were
gone. The farmers were without seed,
cattle or horses. In the mighty brain
Of Frederick the Great was conceived
the notion of great land bank which
would refnance the farmers and re-
vivify agriculture. He turned over TO
his peasant soldiery the cavalry and
artillery horses Of the army. He gath
cred all available means and organized
great land bank system called the
Landschaft, From it farmers secured
at low rates of interest money with
which to buy cattle to restock their
farms, and seed to SOW their fields.
Within a few months time the hills
and valleys of Prussia were yielding
bonntiful crops and the impoverished
people of Prussia found themselves
upon that highway Of prosperity which
they have continued to travel to this
day. The bank Frederick the Great
founded still stands. Similar banks
have been established in practically
other European nations.
The truth is, the land bank system
has been tried and demonstrated to
be wonderful success. A student of
history will find no difficulty in arriv-
ing at the conclusion that much Of the
strength, resourcefulness and great
ness Of the German empire today is
due to that agricultural prosperity
which was made possible by the crea-
ton of the land bank.

Senator James A. Reed Answers
Every Objection Urged by Lamm
to Gardner Land Bank Bill
Declares State Land Banks as Necessary as
State Banks Farmers Disseminated
Against for Fifty Years

At Portageville during his great
speech before an immense throng,
Senator James A. Reed defended the
Gardner land bank bill against the
assaults Of Judge Lamm, Republican
candidate for Governor.
Senator Reed said:
Missouri is Just now witnessing the
spectacle of Republican candidate
for Governor making campaign in
opposition to the establishment OF
bank which will loan money to farm
ers on real estate security on long
time and at low interest rates.
The argument of Judge Lamm. from
any viewpoint, will not bear analysis.
First he declares we do not need a
state land bank system because the
federal government is establishing a
system which will meet every want OF

Is the United States
Senatorship for Sale?

Two men are contending for the
honor of representing Missouri in the
United States senate. Senator Reed
is being opposed by Walter S. Dickey
of Kansas City.
Dickey is a multi-millionaire.
He is distinguished alone for his
ability to make money.
He is the head of a great number
of sewer pipe and tile factories, 10.
States.
His holdings are so extensive that
in the middle west he virtually domi-
mates the market, and fixes the prices
which the farmer and builder must
pay for tile and drain pipe, and other
clay products. He has been very ac-
tive in securing the use of his ma
terials in cities, and has had many fat
contracts, and has accumulated an
enormous fortune.
Dickey now desires to 60 to The
United States senate. If he did not
have the money he would not be
thought Of in connection with any i'm
portant office.
The irony Of his race against Reed
is fine example Of the irony Of poll
tics.
When President Wilson declared
there was a lobby infesting Washing
ton, Reed was practically selected as
the lawyer of the investigating com
mittee. He went to New York and
secured possession of the celebrated
Mulhall letters, which disclosed the
indubitable evidence that:
~ A lobby existed in Washington.
(2) That its head was a concern
bearing the misnomer National Man
ufacturers' Association"
That institution kept regular offices
in Washington, and employed the no.
torious Mulhall, and other agents to
carry out its evil purposes. 1t spied
upon members of congress. 1t opposed
all remedial legislation, especially that
intended for the benefit of the labor
ing classes. 1t sent its money and its
agents into congressional districts for
the purpose of corrupting and mis-
leading the electorate.
The investigation of the institution
disclosed such outrageous practices
that public opinion compelled it to
close its lobby office, and move out
of the capital.
Reeds work was so forceful that
the President personally congratulated
him upon it.
And now appears the irony The

rated under the name of the National
Manufacturers Association"
Missourians are now presented with
the spectacle Of a member of the lobby

ate. Let the people decide the Dues
ton,
Dickey's money is being extensive
ly used to promote his candidacy.
In nearly every county paper you
will find during this campaign the first
insertion of an expensive advertise
ment of Dickey's products, and gem
orally in the same paper will be found
effusive editorial praise of Walter S.
Dickey, the candidate.
The device of paying for political
support under a pretext of advertising
is very old, but it probably will be
found to be within the provisions Of
the federal corrupt practices act
However that may be, let the people
know the facts.-Hannibal Morning

work to be cut in half, but it is too much
trouble to see that it is done by learning how
to do it.
Yet she knows that in the factory. shop or
Office. the farm, her husband has much
the best of it in the matter Of labor saving
appliances. Vaguely she feels that this is the
result of masculine selhshness and that women
rather badly used.
But what man. in installing a machine
in his workshop. would trust to Providence
and the unskilled worker, hoping that some
how the machine will be able to run itself
without bothering him? And what man
would reject the machine because he has
either TO oversee the running OF it or to teach
some one else TO do it properly?
And in the case of household machinery

why she cannot be left to handle the washer

how to handle it himself. and then he keeps
