TAN, RED OR FRECkLED
SKIN is EASILY SHED

To free your summer-soiled skin of
it's muddiness, freckles, blotches or
tan, the best thing to do is to free
yourself Of the skin itself This is
easily accomplished by the use Of
ordinary mercolized wax, which of
course can be had at any drug store
Use at night as you use cold cream,
washing it off in the morning. I'M
mediately the offending surface skin
begins to come off in fine powder
like particles. Gradually the entire
outer scarf slrin Is absorbed, without
the least harm or inconvenience.
The second layer of skin now in evil
dence presents spotless Wilderness
and sparkling beauty obtainable in
no other way. One ounce of mercol-
lied wax usually is sufficient to COM
pletely renovate a bad complexion.

MUCH WHEAT
IN HANCOCK
Threshlng Is Going on There at a
Great Rate, With Oats and
Rye Also Coming Out
Of the Spout.

This week has been one Of strenu-
Gus work threshing small grain in
Hancock county.
Wheat predominates, but large guam
titles Of oats and rye also are being
threshed. The wheat yield and quail
ity varies greatly in different parts of
the county and even on adjoining
farms, but generally it is good.
Mayor Neal Daugherty, Of Hamilton,
had large acreage Of wheat which
averaged Twenty-Five bushels to the
acre, and although 1t did not weigh
sixty pounds to the bushel, it was
good enough in quality to bring
little over So per bushel which means
$50 per acre. Other farmers had
equally good returns and some were
better.

There have been but seven appli-

in Lee county, as in other parts of
the state. because of the lack Of teach

Supt- e. C. Lynn reports that unless
there are about fifteen more appli-

there will be that many schools
which will not open their doors in
September.

Price Of Clothing.
The price Of winter clothing is now
established. The 500 ready-to-wear
suit and overcoat is the newest ar
rival, but surely not the most vel
coined. We are warned by some pessi-
nists that those who are inclined 70
balk at ruling prices for really good
clothing should watch their step and
! beware Of the coming spring advances.
Albeit, the imported cloth, fur-trimmed
good form, nor will the $3.50 fur over
coats now being advertised, interest
good dressers, along in May.
Taking the optimistic view let us
consider fabric production. The mills
have prolonged the fall season and in
creased their output. This may result
in a surplus Of woolens at end Of the
season and have some effect on prices.
Clothing operations for the spring sea-
son are getting underway, and the
sentiment Of the trade may be said to
be publish" Manufacturers are in
clined to ask more money. but there IS
grave concern in conservative circles
as to what may happen when consum-
ers are confronted with the peak Of
prices" most of us being hopeful that
the top had already been reached.
Certain it is that a very large class
OF our people have not benefited by
the numerous wage increases. proper
uonately to the II. c. l.. This apply
ing to clerks in general, to office help
and to the professional man, either in
educational or other circles. Any
further advance in mems wear will
assuredly reduce consumption to a
large extent. it would seem, and this
in turn would allow stocks to accum-
ulate, and ultimately demoralize the
prices before the next fall season
comes round. 1t is the fear Of just
this possibility which causes manu-
facturers to hesitate and ponder. and
is also the problem OF our friend. the
retail clothier.
Per contra there are many who
face tho future with the assurance
that the demand will take care Of the
entire supply. and that while there
may be panicky, or temporary dips in
mid-season, that each decline will be
followed by reactions to still higher
levels.
In the meanwhile the prudent will

DAYLIGHT SAVING
LAW ENDS SUNDAY

On next Sunday morning, st l
o'clock, Bemidji will again return to
the former hours before the daylight
saving law was passed, and all clocks
and watches will be set back. one
hour.
The hour saved by the law being
passed was a war measure, intended
to send workers to their daily tasks
an hour earlier, to allow them to quit
an hour earlier in the afternoon, the
extra time thus gained to be used In
the development Of gardens and In
divers other directions to relieve the
stringency during the war. In sew
eral business enterprises the change
made no difference, but the farmers
strenuously objected as it interfered
with their farm employees.
Congress, after signing Of the arm
istice, passed a bill repeating the
law which was promptly vetoed by
President Wilson. Congress again
passed the repeal resolution AMI
over the veto set the time for the re-
peal, which is next Sunday, and the
law will cease to exist.

OKLAHOMA OIL FIELDS
ARE FAILING. REPORT
(By United Press.)

Oklahoma City, Oct. 23.-Okla-
homa's oil fields are failing, operators
think.
Since 1917 production has shown
a steady decline ranging from 5000
to 1000 barrels a day, and now,
with the continuing decreases, opera
tors are confidently expecting price
increases for the raw products. A
discovery of new fields is the only al
tentative, they say.
Thirty-one out of Oklahoma g
seventy-seven counties yield either
oil or gas and comprise the richest
deposits in America. Their contribu-
tion now is about 218,0O0 barrels
daily, according to figures offered by
the state auditor, who collects 3
per cent tax on gross production.
More than $3,50O,00O had been
collected by the state this year at the
beginning Of the present quarterly
period, and this did not include about
one-third of the production which is
from Indian lands.
