Geary Farmers Too Busy to Collect
Dividends.

Dividends.
Junction city. April 14.-When a
farmer is too busy to come to town
and collect stock dividend, 1t is a
real sign of prosperity.
This happened in Junction City
when Richard Rohrer, secretary
treasurer OF the Geary County Fed
eI1l Farm Loan association, sent out
notice to stockholders in connection
with the apportionment OF dividends
on federal land bank stock. The
meeting had to be called off because
there was not quorum OF the
farmer stockholders present.

wide railway strike. While the
cabinet met to discuss the situa-

held from coast 10 coast in an
effort to end the tie up affecting

in all sections of the country are
seeking TO meet conditions re-

the West the peak has been met
and passed, in the Middle West

difficulty in doing more than

said TO be returning at several

Cold, damp hands are an indication

exercising the fingers and wrists. In
fact, the entire hand should be exer-

Massage will increase the plump
mess of a hand and add to its flex-

The old-fashioned custom of using
cornmeal in the water when washing
the hands is just as productive of
good results now as it ever was.
Oatmeal is good, but cornmeal is bet
ter. 1t should be used with warm
water when the hands are washed at
night and with cold water in the
morning. After washing the hands
olive oil should be applied.

drives her own limousine but her

attractive as when she sat in a ham,

The reason was that she had plump,
white, well-formed hands naturally

give them care and consideration.
With all her domestic work after
marriage she had not neglected them,
So the mothers sacrifice in shielding

Iyar FOss Home Is
Scene OF Surprise
Party And Dancing

The Ivar Foss home, eight miles
east of town was the scene of a real
old fashioned surprise party Satur-
day mite, when over fifty neighbors
under direction of Carl Lee dropped
in" for a social hour and to dance and
play whist. Along with the guests
to which MI. and Mrs. Foss were the
honored hosts, came lunch baskets fill
led with things that are good-and
the Surprise Of the evening"" The
host and hostess were the recipients
of q present to commemorate the oc-
casion-a beautiful modern gas lamp,
one Of the finest to be purchased in
Devils Lake.
While whist occupied the earlier
hours Of the evening, the time was
later enlivened when Mr.. Foss brot
forth his violin-the visitors had brot
along an organ-and the dance began.
1t filled the house, they danced in the
parlor, the sitting room and the kit
chen. Old fashioned square dances
and round dances, and what not were
all in the program while "friend"
Kesner" officiated as caller.
Five A.. M. was the final hour and
the throng broke up extending many
good wishes for more o. these ere
occasions" in the neighborhood. The
host and hostess still gasped in sur
prise as the dozen or more autos pull
ed homeward.

Organized labor welcomes whatever

dent Gompers Of the American Fed.
Grafton of Labor in an address to dele.
gates at q preliminary conference on
industrial research in Washington.
The trade unionist declared that Ia.
Dor does not oppose the greatest pro-
duction possible, but it does object to
making production the object of life.
"A Persistent effort" he said, has
been made to saddle upon labor the
odium Of opposition to improved meth.
DDS and machinery in production.
What labor has opposed is an effort to
exploit 1t by the use Of improvements
that are intended as a blessing to man.
king: Labor is rightly suspicious Of
changes that are introduced without
explanation and whose effort upon
their welfare is not considered.
Labor is not opposed to increased
production or improved methods.
Quite the contrary. We recognise
there can be no permanent betterment
OF standards Of living for all except
by Increasing the things that contrib
ute to better and more satisfactory
living. But we hold as a fundamental
that material products are not the
ultimate Of production, but service in
4 better life Of humanity.
Experience has taught organized
labor that we can only maintain op.
portunity for freedom and well.belng
when laws for industry are made for

that it is impossible for any woman
to successfully conceal her age unless

I once knew a woman who woult
never allow her daughter to helr
with the homework because she fear
ed the latter's pretty white hand:

"My own hands have always beer

explanation. "When l was young

I could not have beautiful hands my
