Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance. Miss Freckle- face,
to try q remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while il it does
give You a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
: Simply get an ounce of 0thine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this strength
is sold under guarantee of money back
if it's fails to remove freckles.-Adv.

COMPANY OF A. PEOPLE.
Daily "News, Little Rock,
 Oct. 28, 1920.

Ralph Dunbar, revivalist of great operas, is earning a great reputa- ton among music-lovers. Last sea- son came "The Chocolate Soldier" then "Robin Hood," "and now comes "The Mikado," given at the Kemp ner last night, as good as ever went on the road at any time. From the opening male chorus it was appar- ent that here was a we'll balanced company and subsequent numbers brought no disappointment. The scenic establishment and rich cos tunes left nothing to be desired and the Dunbar brand has come to be regarded hereabouts as a synonym for quality. "ko-Ko" (Ed An draws) of course gets the most laughs, and DeWolf Hopper never was funnier in the role than this veteran of the comic opera stage.

SPECIAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Enquirer" Cincinnati, Oct. 17,

Will the present generation of theatre-goers support opera? The question was affirmatively answer ed by satisfied audiences which at- tended the performance of Ralph Dunbar's revival of "The Mikado" at the Grand Opera House.
 In an educational way, this re- vlval IS of inestimable value. If America is to progress musically and take it's rightful place among the nations of the world as a peo pie who love the best in musical art. nothing will answer quite as well as the frequent presentation of such works as Ralph Dunbar is giving to the stage today. Young folks even children-mav attend such performances without fear of a jolt to the sensibilities. No other form o1 entertainment is quite so whole some, quite so invigorating, so edu- catlonal, so essentially worth while. More power to Ralph Dunbar!

Senators Smoot Of Utah and Watson
of Indiana, Republican members of the
committee, differed with Mr.. Wood
arguing that the plan proposed would
result in less uncertainty for business
than would otherwise follow the liquid
alton in Europe and the changing val
ues of currency abroad. Senator Smoot
declared that under present conditions
congress would have to delegate au-
thority as to tariff rates in some such
manner as suggested by the president.

Chicago Lucky" Tommy Common,

Thursday morning for the killing of a
policeman, but instead O'Connor was
leading the combined force of 5000 POI
lice and deputies merry chase, after
a sensational escape from the Jail.
Four Jail guards were overpowered by
.OConnor and four other prisoners
Sunday, but o'Connor's reputation as
q killer suffered when he failed to use
"a revolver which had been struggled
to him.
Charles Fttzmorris, chief of police,
Monday threatened to suspend any po-
lceman who tries to capture O'Con-
nor alive and promised promotion to
the man who brings him In dead.
He will never surrender so long as
he can shoot" the chief said, "and I
don't want my men to take any chanc-
es."
Fitzmoris was bitter in his denun-
citation Of conditions at the jail. He
charged O'Connor was literally

Sheriff Charles Peters suspended
three Jail guards and offered a re-
ward of $500 for O'Connor's appre-

The question of O'Conner's legal
status IL he remains at liberty past
the hour set for his hanging Thursday
was cleared up Monday by the an
nouncement of Assistant States At
torney Lloyd Heath, who prosecuted
O'Connor, that he would appear before
Judge Scanlon Thursday and formally
ask delay of execution This pro-
cedure would be followed, he said, at

London. The Germans are gradual
ly returning to China and picking up
the treads Of their former business not
trading for the present under their
own names, but in partnership with
Chinese, says a report on the CONNER

commercial counselor of the British
legation In Pel1ins, German dyes and
paints, needles, metals drugs and sun
dries are beginning to appear on the
Shanghai market, the report goes ON,
and 1t Is stated that several important
orders for machinery and electric
plants have recently been booked by
German firms. There is no doubt, the
report says, that the Germans, assisted
by the comparative cheapness of their
products, will gradually recover the
share they held In China's foreign
trade before the war, but the process
will be slow, as they have lost valu-
able connections: the business organ
saations they had so laboriously built
up have been shattered, and they have
suffered serious loss OF prestige In
