Buses.
 An automobile that will run on salt water instead of gasoline is near at hand. It is all matter of breeding. Henry Ford has announced a willing ness to cross his Ford cars with the ships of the United States fleet. The produce. he figures, should cause a sensation in the motor world.
 
 Autoists will greet the new car with intense satisfaction. In the past they have had to admit that, after all, a flivver was only a flivver, but henceforth theirs will be the thrill of feeling that the bus has the blood of a gallant and illustrious naval power in its veins.
 
 'I will beat the dreadnoughts into limousines, and the battle cruisers into coupes," says MT. Ford. T will beat the desroyers into runabouts and the scout cruisers into one-mar tops. I will beat the naval uniforms into seat-upholstery, and the swords into radiator caps
 In other words, he will junk the United States navy, and convert ths junk into flivvers. Which. the unkint critics might say, will not reduce tht worlds supply of junk any.
 Much jealousy, however. is bound to ensue among buyers of the new machines, in our opinion.
 Nice car you have there, Bill, George will say as he pulls up hi machine alongside of Bills bus.
 You said something" Bill will re spond Tt used to be the flagship of Admiral Rodman's fleet in th North Sea

REMEMBER xorHERs. DAY

Sunday, May 6th will be observed
over the United States a. sNothers'
Day." The wearing Of . carnation in
her honor will be observed colored
carnations il she is living, and white
one il she is dead.
"Mothers' Day" was first generally
observed in America in 1910, after Il
had been suggested at . pcblic meet
ing by Miss Anna Jarvis Of Philadel-
phia. On May 18th, 1913, congress
passed q resolution commending the
Observance Of the day and In 1914 TIE
the president was instructed By esa-
gress 70 annually proclaim Nothers'
Day and request that the American
Flag be displayed ON al public build
ings. The first proclamation was Is
sued by President Wilson on May 8,
1914 and is regularly observed yearly
on the first Sunday In May. ~
It's a beautiful and UNIQUE custom.
On that day the churches Throughout
the nation hold special services
The churches at Gunnison have ar.
ranged fine programs for next Sunday
and special sermons, and music will
be the order Of the day.
There's another way Of celebrating
Mothers Day" that q good many
boys and girls might do well to try.
In q way, every blessed day Of the
year Is mothers day. Ita mother
who does this and mother who does
that, and she grows old before her
time and generally il left at home on
Sunday to get . big family dinner
and Afterwards has the dishes TO do
and things TO straighten up while dad
reads the paper after the meal and
the young folks 60 Of on business Of
their own. Suppose next Sunday you
don, .long with the carnation, q big
kitchen apron and get the dinner your
self and let mother take the day offff.
Oh, yes you can cook-enough for Q
simple meal anyhow-afterwards you
wash the dishes and put things in the
same order that she always does.
II you are away from home, send
her CHEEKY letter or q few flowers.
Let her know that you remember her.
There are many appropriate ways Of
keeping the day besides wearing a
flower. Then, too, there are many
old mothers who are alone and who
would appreciate little Of the senti-
ment expressed by the day. Send
them flower, or little remembrance
in honor Of the day. Maybe she has
no one to remember her, or maybe
heaven forbid!-they will forget her
entirely. One pretty blossom given
with the right spirit to the living beats
a million placed upon coffin after
one is dead.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN
AND AVOID BLEMlSHES

Blaekheads and pimpies are the con-
slant annoyance to . great many peo-
pie, especially the gentler sex, and I'M
fortunately they show worse on .
young woman's face than On . mans.
Sometimes the general health Of the
victim is to blame, but quite often the
trouble hes in the oil glands Of the
skin called acne. Many and varied
are the remedies advertised and sold
and suggested and tried Some Of
them are all night, others are almost
~ good. while great many are posi-
lively harmful.
Cleanliness and careful dieting is
the one sure cure for pimples, and
such blemishes on the skin, while for
blackheads, which are merely an &C.
emulation Of dirt in the pores Of
the skin, good method to remove
them is to steam the face before re-
tiring BY holding over pan Of very
hot water, covering the head and the
pan with thick towel. Shut the eyes
tightly. You can then press the Of
Tending blackhead out. Last of all.
wash the face thoroly with warm
water and a good toilet soap, prefer
ably CASTLE or glycerine soap, then
dash cold water over the face and
neck several times, finally drying with
soft towel. Do not rub hard or
you will irritate the skin and make II
tender. Last Of all apply = good face
cream and rub it in well, washing of
the next morning.
Exercise and careful attention to
the diet will build up the body and
prevent the pnsightly appearance Of
Pimples and brown spots, commonly
known as liver spots.

YEAR

(By Frances C. Hamlet)
A year is like loaf of bread,
All fresh and fair and new
With every day a little slice
From off that loaf to you;
And sprinkled sometimes thru the loaf
To make the flavor good,
Are raisins-holidays that come
Exactly as they should.
The year is like loaf of bread,
So fresh and new and fair,
And when it's nibbled all away,
Another waits you there.
