Preparations for the placing of

that such a committee be aD-
pointed with the suggestion that the
postmaster, chairman and secretary

Yes, really, it's the only way. Perspira-
ton rots silk, so it should be washed right
out. And any kind OF soap that requires any
rubbing at all just ruins silk stockings. Lux
dissolves the dirt, and it actually fails out
into the sudsy water, with just few swish
ings up ard down, and few squeezings to
get the suds through every part of the silk.
And most wonderful of all, my white
stockings stay white ! It's free alkali in soap
that makes silk turn yellow-together with
little bits Of cake soap that don't get rinsed
out. Lux hasn't any free allzali and the thin
fakes melt the minute they touch the water.

Air Route Sure Thing.
In its communication to Mayor
McCOnochie eeve1al days ago the
aerial league says: IF your city es-
tablishes an aerodrome, planes are
as sure to come as automobiles are
sure to go wherever there are good
roads.
The war has given aeronautics
tremendous impetus which will
be permanent. There are about
twenty thousand army, navy and
marine corps ayiatoTs and 100000
men who have served as ground
officers or mechanics or assistants
in one of the branches of the air
service. The Aero Club Of Amer
lea. the Aerial League of America
and affiliated organizations have a
membership of about twenty thou
sand. Then there are over 400 600
people who have been connected
with the manufacturing of aircraft,
motors. parts and accessories.
There are, therefore, not less
than three million people who are
closely interested in aerOnautics.

whatever pioneer work your city
may do to get the aerial mail ex-
tended to your city and to estah-
lish a suitable aerOdrome where

cording to locals About 100000 oats
have been sold to store Cash oats

Some indication that the northwest,

sell some of its surplus in Chicago.
Corn market usually assumes its win

Cash corn demand does not appear to
