Land broken shallow does not
hold as much moisture for plants as
land broken deeply or subsoiled. In
the South moisture is the limiting
factor in crop production, especially
at a time when crops most need
moisture. Putting organic matter in
the soil and deeper plowing lessen
this trouble.

Make this beauty lotion for a fe
cents and see for yourself

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon Juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake we'll and
you have whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
into the bottle, then this lotion will re-
main pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

fact, many az leading ladies just be-
cause of their attractive looks. In

that they bring out all the natural

putting a teaspoonful of Canthrox

this instead of soap. This full cup

BAND SERENADES GIRL
13Oth of Doniphan Greets Sister of
Artillery Member.

Probably the only girl in Topeka
who has ever been officially serenaded
by military band of the United States
army in full panoply of war is Miss
Flora Shore. Miss Shores brother is a
member of the both field artillery at
Camp Doniphan. Miss Shore has been
confined to her bed with spinal men,
nights for some weeks past. The
combination proved too strong for the
band boys from Doniphan. SO after a
concert on the state house grounds
Monday morning they added a few
blocks to their line of march to in
clude the Shore home. On behalf of
the band DIR. T. S. Morrison. leader of
the band, presented her with a large
bouquet of carnations.
The both Field Artillery band left
Topeka Monday night for Camp Doni-
phan. 1t will probably not return
again either as band or the members
individually until the war is won.

William H. Thompson. senior Unit

president, Senator Thompson urges
that the government take immediate

Violations of antitrust laws thru
