that Harding was going to receive the
support of thousands of Democrats who
never had voted the Republican ticket
before Suddenly the Negro equality
talk bobbed up in central and western
Kentucky Democratic orators began
assuring their audiences they had proof
that the Republicans were bent on es-
| tablishing mixed schools of Negroes
equality. e
This attack has assumed such pro-
portions in outlying sections of the
state that the Republican managers are
seriously alarmed. They fear that the
DOGGY may serve to brighten off thous-
ands of. Democrats, notably white wo-
men, who were prepared toi vote for
Harding.
The Republicans are viewing with
satisfaction their possession of the most
important election machinery by virtue
of the fact that the state administra-t
tion is Republican They say it means
an honest count of the vote. The Dem
ocratic leaders say it means the Repub-
leans will count Harding in, if the re-

no telling how Kentucky will go in this
election and the chances are the result

tyfour hours after the polls close on

So close is the contest that whether
Harding or Cox wins the state it is
likely to be by a margin of only a few
thousand votes. m
The Republican organization is no

Ington and Receives Signal Honors !

Burlington, Iowa, Oct. 20.-Both
races have received with honor the re-
turn of Mrs. Laurence c. Jones, of the
Piney Woods school, to her home town
Burlington. Mrs. Jones who was Grace
Morris Allen once conducted an indus
| trial school in Burlington after her
graduation from High school which
grew to be so popular that more white
children attended than members Of our
race, and a part of the faculty were
drawn from the white race. 49,
During the visit of Mrs. Jones and
children and the Piney Woods sextet,
courtesies were extended by Mrs. Bea-
trice johnson, Mrs A. L. Cook and Mrs
E. j. johnson. .~.r
| An audience packed st. John s A. M.
Jones and singers.
Mrs. Jones was also the guest of the
big Hotel Burlington. .,. .-.t
| She spoke in the High sch DOL audi
torium, the Presbyterian church,, the
Congregational church, one Of the old
est and largest churches in iowa and
the First M. f. church. ,.-4

great good Mrs. Jones has been doing
all of her life for her people, came in
an invitation from Mrs. Chas. E. Per

with music, good things to eat and an

great estate by Mrs. Rice, daughter
from Boston. who was very happy in try
ing to make it pleasant for the little
boys and girls of the sextet from down
in far away Mississippi. Each member
of the party received a souvenir gift of
a beautiful American beauty rose. Such
| recognition by the very richest and
most cultured white people in our coun-
try is incentive enough to every girl of
our race in Iowa, to acquire an educa-
ton and in some way go forth and
serve their people.
Mrs. Jones and her little sons, Turner
Harris and Laurence G. Jones, Jr., left
on the midnight train, Sunday night
for Piney Woods school, where she will
open up the tenth session Tuesday

Principal Jones who motored over
from Des Moines in the ear given Mrs.

illness last summer, will remain in

For this purpose, as for

THIRST of all many women powder the
wrong way. Many women who appre-
i ciate the importance of powdering, fail
to understand the right way to do it. Again
and again during the day, on the street, in
the -everywhere-they are powdering,
in frantic effort to overcome shiny face.
Yet the ugly glisten keeps cropping out
This is because people make the mistake of
applying the powder directly to the skin.
If powdering is to be at all lasting, the
thing to do is always to apply powder base.
For this special cream is needed, cream
which disappears instantly and will not re-
appear. Ponds Vanishing Cream does just
this. 1t is made entirely without oil. 1t
vanishes the moment you apply it, never to
reappear in an unpleasant shine. Before you
powder, take just little Ponds Vanishing
Cream on the tips of your fingers. Rub it
we'll into your face. See how much it softens
and refreshes your skin.
Now powder, and don't think of it again.
Ponds Vanishing Cream holds the powder
fast to your face two or three times as long as
ever before
Dermatologists say that such powder base
is actually protection to the skin. 1t keeps
its texture from the coarsening due to exposure.

Vanishing Cream disappears instantly and will

special softening ingredient which protects
the skin. Before every outing lightly touch
your face and hands with Ponds Vanishing
Cream.
1t leaves your face smooth and protects it
from wind, sun and dust.
1t is a bad mistake to omit the
cold cream cleansing
Because you have learned to depend upon
Ponds Vanishing Cream for powder base and
to protect the skin from the weather, do not
make the mistake of forgetting the importance
of cold cream.
The very oil which makes cold cream
impractical for use before going out is what
the skin requires at other times. The pure,
creamy oil base in Ponds Cold Cream makes
it the most perfect cleanser you have ever
known.
When you are all ready for bed, rub some
Ponds Cold Cream into your pores and wipe
it off with soft cloth. You will be Mortified
to see how much dirt comes out Yet it will
please you so to realize how much cleaner the
pores Of your skin are than ever before that
you will make this face bath regular habit.
In this way your skin will be kept clear and
free from dullness.
If your skin is dry or rough, leave some
Ponds Cold Cream on overnight to make up
for the deficiency of natural oil in your skin.
You will find, too, that you can give your
