Phelactine, New Wonder
Worker for Hair Growths

BY an entirely new and perfectly
harmless method, any woman afflicted
with growth of superfluous hair can
now remove the Disagreement COM
pletely-roots included-in just a few
seconds. Isn't that glorious news?
The recently discovered phelactine
process is altogether different from
electrical, depilatory and other meth
DDS heretofore employed for the pur-
pose. 1t is the only thing that en-
ables one to remove roots and all in
ones own home without expert as
sistance. The result cannot be doubt
ed, for the user sees the hair-roots
with her own eyes. A stick of phelac-
tine, with simple instructions, can be
procured at any drug store. 1t is odor-
less, non-irritattng. non-poisonous e.
child could eat it without injury. The
method is SO thorough that the skin
is left perfectly smooth and hairless,
bearing not the least evidence of it's

Closing the Milton Bank
/, ,a41is-

Investigation of the condition of the Farmers
Banking company at Milton has not progressed
far enough to warrant the fixing of blame, but it
seems that the Irregularities are of long stand
ing and should have been caught by the state
banking department.
It is almost inconcavabe that between
$4,000 and 100000 of the banks resources
should have disappeared within few months.
Nothing has been disclosed to show that sud-
denly inspired thought led to the appropriation
or spending Of a huge sum at one time or
within comparatively short time
If the investigation by the receiver discloses
that the books were in bad condition for long
time, one may inquire with propriety about the
worth of the examinations periodically made by
the state department. If these examinations
were only superficial, the state banking depart
ment will lay itself open to criticisms for not
guarding the interests of the stockholders and
tlepositors The latter are protected in this in
stance, because the stockholders will make good
their losses. The faith of the public, however,
is shaken every time a financial institution is
forced to close it's doors, and depositors in and
about Milton will not be immune to this feeling.
Examinations of financial institutions are fu-
tile if they do not succeed in preventing condi-
tons such as existed in the Milton institution.
The records of the bank are in a chaotic condi-
ton, reports say, suggesting again the POSSIBLE
ity of inadequate examination by the state de-
partment.
Developments may soon tell exactly how the
institution was wrecked, and the explanation
may exonerate the department from any implied
criticisms of its methods of examination. But
the question of how the cashier succeeded in hid
ing his irregularities for many months will not
down until this report is made.

THE UPWARD CLIMB

> Take the upward climb, Boy. It's the
hardest one, know, and your feet will
get sore and your back will ache and
your heart will thump and the water
will roll off your head and down your
chest in little rivers.
But take it, Boy-take it!
Your friends will tell you to "cut it
cut" and to come and play and leave
your work-that there will be plenty
of time to do it later. But don't you
mind them, Boy, don't you mind
them.
Sometimes you will get very tired
climbing all alone, Boy. And when the
day is done, you will not think that
you have gone very far. But the years
will tell you that you did. And years
never lie.
And as you climb, keep looking up
to the top, Boy.
Pay no attention to the cries Of
those below you, who seem to be hav-
ing such good time. The day will

The Earlham College Endowment

Earlham college has been integral part of
Unr community life for many years. Hundreds
Of young men and women from this city have
enjoyed its educational offerings, completing
courses that granted them diplomas or attending
classes for two or three years.
Earham's development educational in
stitution has been along sound and conservative
lines. Quality has been the aim of the heads of
the institution. And it is gratifying to know
that the college ranks among the best of the
small colleges in the Middle West.
The institution has not escaped financial wor-
ries and troubles. Even the big universities
have been hard pressed in the last four years to
pay expenses from the tuition and endowment
funds the only two sources of revenue an educa-
tiona institution has. To prevent annual deficits
and put the college on a sound financial basis, a
campaign to raise $4,000 is under way at Earl
ham.
Richmond will be asked to contribute gener-
ously. Besides the material advantage of having
a college in its confines, Earlham spending about
100000 here annually, the presence of an edu-
cational institution has cultural aspects of the
highest order. The college is a force for good
in our own community which few of us estimate
rightly and appreciate fully.
If we had no college and an offer of locating
. an institution here were made unquestionably
the whole community would welcome it's coming
BY the same token an institution, fully organ
lied for many years, executing it's mission faith
fully and successfully through the decades, with
many illustrious men numbered among it's gradu-
ates, should receive encouragement and support
to ease its financial worries and troubles. Earl
ham college is going concern, an asset to ou1
community, an advertisement of our city, an or
