It's Easy to peel off
All Your FreckLeS

The contrast between the freckles and
the clear skin usually is SO great that no
bleach can be more than partially sue
cessful in obliterating the disfgurements.
Ordinary mercolized wax is far better: it
literally peels off the freckles. Get an
ounce of it at the nearest drugstore and
tonight spread on enough to completely
cover your face; remove in the morning
with warm water. Repeat daily until
every freckle has disappeared.
Rough. blotchy. pimpled skin also COM
mon at this season, may be entirely got
ten rid of by this same method. without
discomfort or inconvenience. The effort
is decidedly worth while, the new COM
plexion obtained being so clear, smooth
and youthful.
If bothered with wrinkles battle the
face in lotion made by dissoving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint
of witch hazel. This is the most effective
and understanding wrinkle treatment
known

From Maine to Illinois

The receipt of a letter on Monday by
Secretary Of State John E. Bunker
brought out a pretty little story, one
rather out Of the ordinary Of official
State matters but full of interest. Mr..
Bunker some time back in last Novem-
Der received letter from a little Illi-
nois girl giving her age as eight years
asking If he would please tell her what
the colors of the automobile plates for
the year 1916 would be. Mr.. Bunker
certainly would and did, as we'll as en-
closing a small picture of the state OF
Maine flag, with an explanation Of the
meaning Of the figures on the State seal
and a request that If the young miss
saw any Of the State of Maine automo-
biies pass her home she would notify
him. She had said in her letter that
she lived on a post road, outside the
town and in a place where many au-
tos daily passed.
Well. time went on as usual until
the arrival of Mondays mail, when
another part of the story was register
ed. for included in the mail was an
other letter from the Illinois girl, read
ing as follows:
Greenville. Ill.
May 2, 1916.
Dear Sir:
You wrote me to please send you the

be noted that the above is a nice let

tions arising in their studies and he
makes a point to answer all, giving If

McAlester, Okla.-Thirteen hundred
acres of the state prison farm viii be

The land on which this cotton will be
produced was "A few years ago merely
rocky and a waste. Hills rock covered
and eroded by rains and gullies deeply
cut by spring floods surrounded the
concrete walls OF the p%enitentiary.
Hard labor and careful management
have changed the surface to a rolling.
well drained seed bed.
Rocks We're removed from the sur.
face. Gullies were filed up after
drains had been laid. Dams and riprap
were emplaced to hold back the fine
soil carried down by showers.
In the coming year almost the entire
acreage VIII be devoted to cotton. OF
the land still rocky and unlmproved

made. Bermuda grass is spreading.

calling for 1000 head. as against l.

Falling off in supplies injected a
little more life into the market and
while no one quoted a degree of
strength all agreed that it was easier
to get prices for all classes of killing
material.
Steady prices were paid for the
small showing of stockers and feed
ers and an early clearance was effect
ed out Of first hands.
Another liberal run of live porkers
reached the local market today.
Trade was somewhat Uneven open
ing about a nickel lower, but closing
strong. Top for the day was 1866,
while the bulk of sales were made at
a spread of $9.45 a $50.
Not enough sheep and lambs ar
rived to test market conditions.
