There is man who comes to Keo-
kuk to visit some times with Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Collier, his name is f.
l.. Vandergrift, and his home is in
Kansas City. He lived here good
many years ago as boy. Many peo-
pie will remember him and the de-
lightful article he once wrote for
The Gate City about his recollection
of going to school in building
which stood on the site Of the West
minister chapel. He is a frequent
contributor to newspapers in Kansas
ceived from him an article, Scenes
in Western Kansas-A November
Landscape" in which he describes
what he saw in a journey across two
counties in western Kansas. To an
undescerning eye Kansas prairie
is only a stretch Of green, like ''the
yellow primrose beside the rivers
brim." But to Mr.. Vandergrift it
called up all the early history Of Kan
sas and the buried hopes of the early
settlers and Of the events which call
ed into being, the name bleeding
Kansas" Then he saw the beauty Of
the landscape and the present pros
perity Of that state which has come
out of much tribulation into the first
rank among the states. He saw all
this and best Of all was able to write
it so that others caught his vision Of
November day in Kansas.

trated surprise which met the full

Monday evening. Their fortieth an
niversary occurred on Sunday, June

to celebrate on Monday Several
auto loads met at the Wolf home,
just west of town, and together pro-
ceeded to the Parkins residence
Here all appeared quiet and restful,
with light shining from the kit

Parkins were genuinely surprised
was evidenced when they met the
jolly crowd Of sixty guests at the

switched on in jiffy and the ring
of laughter and merriment filled the
rooms as games and wit quickly
sped the hours onto the past. Mr.
and Mrs. Wolf and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bunker had prepared bounteous
supply Of ice cream, Strawberries and
cake and all present did justice to
the delicious refreshments. G. H.

Women Everywhere
Use Lemon Juice
To Beauty Skin


Inc beauty lotion which is becom-
ing SO popular throughout the coun-
try is easily prepared by anyone, and
a whole quarter pint Of 1t doesn't
cost any more than small jar of
the common. ordinary cold cream.
Add the Juice of two fresh lemons
to three ounces of orchard white and
shake we'll in a bottle Strain the
lemon juice two or three times
through a fine cloth SO no pulp gets
into the lotion, then it will keep
fresh for months. Regardless of what
price you pay or how highly adver-
tised, there is nothing else really
more meritorious in identifying, soft
ening and clearing the skin. AS a
tan and blemish remover, also to re-
move oiliness and sallowness, lemon
juice has no rival. Massage 1t into
the face, neck, and arms once or
twice each day, and just see if 1t
doesn't bring out the roses and hid
den beauty!
Lemons have always been used to
bleach the skin, but pure lemon juice
is too highly acid, therefore should
never be used except in this manner.
If properly prepared. this sweetly
fragrant lotion will speak for itself.
Any drug store will supply the three
ounces Of orchard white at very lit
tie cost, and the grocer will supply
the lemons.

Cardinal Gibbons, American.

Kansas City Star: The New York
Times recalls the story Of Cardinal
Gibbons fight in 1890 against the
movement to Europeanize the Cath
Ole church in America. The Cahensly
movement, as it was called, demand
ed that all foreigners in the Catholic
church In the United States be organ
lied as separate parish units to main
tain unbroken ties with their father
lands and that their native languages
should be always spoken in American
churches. Cardinal Gibbons won his
fight against the movement and for
an American church. In his protest
he uttered this fine American senti-
ment:
"Woe to him, my brethren, who
would destroy or impair the blessed
harmony that reigns among us! Woe
to him who would SOW tares of dis
cord in the fair field of the church
Of Americal Woe to him who would
breed dissensions among the leaders
Of Israel by introducing spirit OF
nationalism into the camps of the
Lord! Brothers we are and brothers
we shall remain. God and our coun-
try!' This be our watchword. Next
to love of God should be love Of
country. Let us glory In the title OF
American citizen. To one country we
owe allegiance, and that country is
America. We must be in harmony
with its political institutions. 1t
matters not whether this Is the
land of our birth or adoption. 1t is
the land Of our destiny!"
Under the leadership Of men like
Gibbons in America and MERCER In
Belgium the Catholic church Is af-
fording the world some splendid
examples of real patriots.

fade, good figure will change, but
the charm of health and cheerful
ness will endure to the end. But how
can a woman be cheerful and happy
when dragged down by some female
arrangement. with backache, head

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

such ailments. During the last 40
years thousands Of homes have been
made happy by this woman's great
remedy for woman's ills.-Adv.

ONLY A NOTION.

Obviously We are getting very nOtional--or Is it progressiveness. Whatever it is the world seems to have reached state of mreiiabllty that is causing uneasiness in spots. For instance when the European war was started everybody was agreed that there was not sufficient cause to fight over It was merely notion Some called it madness" Subsequent events have proved the tendency of the time; which is to be notional like the sinking of the Lusitana No cause for it. yet it was done--a notion. Coming closer to home. the people of the state of Wash ington a year ago took the notion to make the state dry; and dry it went. Still imbaed with a notional feeling few days ago tine people of Seattle tok a notion and made run on the banks for no apparent reason. Their notion in this respect while the result has not proven eatas- i.,ophe. vet it caused great deal of worry. Our neighbors did that But right at home is where we find the most notional people in the world because. no doubt their action or notions effect Us directly.
 Before the last election 1t vas conceded by nine-tenths of the voters that Wiekersham could not be defeated Just then the people took 3 notion and defeated him-a defeat well deserved, but notion nevertheless. The greatest notion of them all was that of making Alaska dry. This was thought the very acme of notions. but We were doomed to another disappointment and it came with the introduction by our defeated dele- gate of a Bone Dry measure for our territory which was followed by the further notion os con- grezs to enact it into law. Now, can we not call this notional or as we said before is it proeres- siveness? Whatever it is, one never knows where he is at these days.

AN APPARENT CLOUD AHEAD.

Washington dispatches as much as tell us that we either have to fight or go way back and sit down. That we have no right in this world that one country will respect and all this and more Yet there appears to be no great excitement over the mandate Were it not for the fact that the mandate comes from a nation which has its hands full already, this lack of excitement might have another aspect; but as it is, we see no great reason to believe that the threat will be carried into execution, hence the absence of nervousness. However should it come to that, we can rely upon the people to stand firm War is the last thing in the world that the American people want to get into but if sufficient provocation is fore ed upon them, they are just as ready to enter the fray as any nation The doctrine of peace at any price does not necessarily mean that the Americans fear other nations, but we take it to mean that We are ready to give and not only take. But whatever comes of the present gloomy atmosphere, we can rely on solid front when the time comes for action.
