most of our present economic ills This
is the statement of Dean F. D. Far
rell of Kansas State Agricultural col

that laborers are working shorter
hours and giving poorer service.

of outlining the work of the county
agents, = home demonstration agents
and other extension workers for the
coming year. Every extension worker
in the state was in attendance.

Japan, in an address at the Lowman
Hill Memorial church Sunday morn
ing. Their amazement- soon turned
o-admiration, but since the armistice
was signed the admiration has waned
and almost disappeared. They think
America is a gutter. and can't under
stand why we should refuse. man

preparation to such an enormous fig
Nure. I repeat, they don't understand
as we do, sand they are making tre-
mendous preparation"
Doctor Smith, who is reputed to
have a better insight into the japanese
affairs than most white men, paints,
on the other hand, a wonderful Ric-
ture of Japanese life. 1t is a picture
of the great change which the country
is undergoing in becoming a democ-
racy and in seeking universal suffrage
for men, a country that is free from
militarism inc most places and a coHn-
try. that is sound financially, despite
contrary rumors. Japan, according
to the Rev. Mr.. Smith, is not mill

Well I know of another family of sisters where the borrowing plan is not exactly as cooperative as the one you mention in that family"
 Tell me about it." I said
 T had occasion to pay this family visit recently. and l found the young est sister busily engaged in packing her trunk, arranging her gloves, veils. kerchiefs and the like, so I said:
 Going away on a trip%
 No" said she, but Mary is, and [ am trying to put away my things be- fore she gets them all and stores them away in her trunk for her visit
 "'Why. surely sho could not take them without consulting you, would she? I inquired.
 "'You don't know her came the quick response. Why, she'd wear my puffs and curls if they matched her hair. I do not like that sort of thing, so I am putting all my belongings un- der lock and key before she begins to pack. I've lost the chiffonier key and the bureau hasn't a drawer that will lock, so here they go into my trunk, she declared as she thrust them in.
 And so it's just matter of taste about wearing each others clothes and things" I said as we ended our little talk. But whether one borrows from one's sisters or not, one thing Nis quite sure, we simply couldn't live without sisters, could we?"

'"SISTERS''

(CN LISTERS are the incest and the N) most useful things in all the world and if you've never had one you've missed one of the greatest joys life holds.
 I'd rather have my sisters than all the gold in the universe, and when Il mean man said one day that we were all so much alike and sso seldom sep arated that if two of us were upstairs and the other one downstairs and you stuck a pin in the one downstairs the two upstairs would jump, instead Of making me mad, it tickled me to death. because. well--but then, don't start me on the subject of my sisters, because I never know when to stop.
 This story I have in mind to write has to do with somebody elses sis ters-sisters built on the same plans and specifications. This kind are es- pecially useful and very nice to have. although any sort of sister is pre- ferable to none at all
 Sisters who are much alike in looks and size were brought to my atten- tion the other day when somebody was telling the story of five sisters, all of whom were nearly the same size, height and dimension.
 It was simply splendid, because the same stockings fit them all. the same RlONeS, the SdlHe SnOeS. lnt Sdillc hdbts, and in the interchange of these sar torial necessities a delightful variety is insured.
 This particular household is the kind that has no secrets from the public don't you think that is often the case in a large family?-and so their pen chant for borrowing is well known throughout the community-I mean borrowing from each other.
 Personally, I don't like the idea O. Wearing other peoples things said a friend of mine the other day when this subject came up for discussion. "l am afraid I am little old-maidish when it comes to things like that ] like everything my own, just so. and ha'' just as soon think of borrowing my sisters tooth brush or her nail file as to borrow her shoes or her gloves"
 q am very much of the same opin- ion," I replied, but this family of sis ters we were talking about doesn [ seem to mind at all. The last time saw the eldest of them, someone re- marked to her:
 "'what pretty new frock you have on.
 "'Thats easily explained said she It belongs to Betty And presently the second sister lcame along, and this same woman ex- claimed:
 "'You have more pretty things than any girl I ever saw

How to Beautify
 Your Complexion
By VIOLA DANA

That sensational actress, Viola Dana, who is recognized as authority on beauty topics, says: The best and quickest method of obtaining a beautiful rosy-white com plexion is to thoroughly cleanse the face night and morning, then apply that popular beautiier, Derwillo, which has become . regular fad with over five hundred thousand discriminating girls and women m the United States. Derwllo takes the place of face powder as it is more Efe-like Tn ap- pearance, it's use cannot be detected and 1t stays on until you wash it off Precipitation does not affect it, nor will it rub off on clothing, and the wonderful sale 1t has had proves that it is superior to all other bea1- tifiers and face powders. There IS nothing like it for dark, saow skin, freckles, tan, coarse pores, wrinkles and many other facial blemises. It is guaranteed absolutely harmless and sold at toilet counters every where with the understanding that if you don't like it they will give you back yo,r money. Be sure to read the large article by Miss Dana soon to appear in this paper. It gives a world of valuable information on the care of the skin, something every girl and woman should know about: h the meantime get Derwillo and try It to- day. You will be astonished at the quick results it gives.-Adv
