New York, Feb. 24 Franklin D'Oier, national commander of the American Legion, has issued a bulle- tin to every post in the country urg- ing the former ser. ice men to reclaim their lost baggage through the Army and Knights of Columbus bureau, To- cated in this city at 105 West 10th Street Commander D'CEeT figures that the million and more members of the Legion will greatly facilitate the clearing up of the baggage prob lem by communicating with the Casey men or Army officials. There are 150.00O pieces now being re- moved from Hoboken, N. J., where the army piers are cluttered with the barrack bags, boxes, trunks, etc., to store houses on Governors Island
 "The lost baggage branch of the army said Commander D'Olier, ''in most cases was separated from the personnel of the service under the stress of war and military exigencies, and it was impossible in those diff ficuIt moments, before the armistice, for any baggage left in dugouts, or such places, to be giFeA individual attention.
 'After the arrival of the baggage in the United States the officials a; Hoboken exerted every effort to bring before the ex-service men the fac1

To Remove Discolored,
 Coarse or Chapped Skin

If your skin is chapped, rough or harsh, dab a liberal amount or mer- colized wax on the face and allow it to remain over night. When you wash off the wax in the morning, fine flaky almost invisible particles of cuticle come with it. Repeating this daily, the entire outer film skin is soon absorbed, but so gradually, there's not the slightest hurt or in convenience. Even the ugliest com plexion yields to this treatment. The underlying skin which forms the new complexion is so fresh and youthful looking you'll marvel at the transfor- nation It's the only reliable way to actually discard an aged. faded, freckIed, b1otchy or weatheT-beaten complexion. One ounce of mercoliz- ed wax, procurable at any drug store, is sufficient in most cases.-Adv-

These divisions will be designated '"rhe Defenders of America" Special divisions of school children and teachers, which will be given prominent places, will be desig- mated respectively Young America" and "The Makers of America
 The parades will, of course, include many bands, the local units of the National Guard, Grand Army, Span ish War Veterans, etc, and such regular army end navy units as may be stationed in the various localities.

when our whole territory would be
continuous groves and gardens. al
so have had such visions. Possibly
we will all be gone when this is
brought about. 1t may require rs
years or even so years but it is COM
ing and the real start will be made
when we stop cattle and hogs from
roaming at will for we cannot set out
roadside trees or bushes or Towering
vines with safety until these pests
are put where they belong, behind
rance. There are not roaming stock
in California, nor in any other civil
lied state, and until FLORIDA bars
roaming stock we can never aspire TO
the real beauty that otherwise might
be ours. There are 100000 acres
in Florida under cultivation and the
day stock is barred from running at
large these acres will have an added
value more than equal to the total
value of all the livestock in the state.

ISN'T IT TIME TO MOVE?

Several weeks ago the agitation
for straight, short route road to
Fort Myers was revived. Discussion
of the proposal to construct such a
road established the fact that Punta
Gorda, Charlotte Harbor, Fort Myers
and practically every town along the
west coast up as far as Tampa want
this road constructed, and being of
vital importance to the future of
Punta GOrda, the people of this COM
munity are unanimously in favor of
its construction. Not one voice, so
far as known, has been raised against
the proposition, even the most con-
sentative and slow-going of the
towns people expressing themselves
as heartily in favor of it.
Coincident with the discussion and
movement here, the people of Fort
Myers awoke to the fact that her in
tcrests lay with ours and that the
construction of this road is of as
much importance to her as to us. In
order to meet us at the county line
with a connecting road, it will be
necessary for Fort Myers to span the
Caloosahatchee with an expensive
bridge, costing in the neihborhood
of S300,000.0O, in addition to the
cost Of constructing her part of the
road. This is no small undertaking
for town twice the size of Fort
Myers. but the people there are the
kind who do what they set out to do,
and faced with the necessity of build
ing this bridge and constructing her
part of the road or be Isolated so far
as automobile travel is concerned

up her mind to have the bridge and
