The Pale Faced Girl

Many girls give the excuse for
using some form of facial decora-
ton, that their natural faces are so
pale and sallow as to spoil their
appearance.
1t is too bad that these girls do
not realize how greatly they could
improve their looks by active exer-
else. If they have some serious
physical trouble, no amount OF
paint will make them look well. II
they haven't and if they will go in
for tennis and basket ball and other
like games, their faces will brighter
up and their whole aspect vii,
change. Color gained in that way
has a charm that no artificial tintint
can ever rival. A vigorous fn'
active life is the best creator o
beauty.

The Worlds Greatest Horror

Two years ago many persons OF
bolshevist sympathies in this coun-
try were apologizing for the soviet
movement in Russia and arguing
that it had been terribly misrepre-
sented and lied about, that it was
really a sincere effort to benefit
humanity.
But the real truth about this move
ment is coming out. The offlcial
figures of the number of RussianA
executed by the soviet authorities,
now show that 1,766,l1S were put
to death by these bloody butchers
Nothing in the history of the world
EQUALS this brutal and bloodthirsty
record.
Russia has the richest natural re-
sources of any country in the worid
1t suffered severely under the war
but if it had had a decent govern
ment, its natural wealth IS so grea
that it would be prosperous today
The soviets took it, reduced it Z
starvation, and killed nearly 1000
600 people by brutal murder in or
der to terrorize opposition. Ameri
can arologists fer this record 0
horror should go over there TO liv
and see how they Ike it.

"The Unloved Wife" the new three
act comedy drama which has been
extolled by the critics everywhere
as one of the most satisfying pro-
ductions of the season, will be the at
traction at the Grand Thursday,
October 18th.
''The Unloved Wife" is SYM
phony in color and effect. 1t is 9
play of the American home, exquis-
itely staged and acted with skill, and
in many respects one of the most
noteworthy productions given to a
local stage this season. This is the
play concerning the important ques-
tion "How much deception should a
wife tolerate on the part of her hus-
band ?" Indeed, before the play is
over, the problem has developed into
the question "Has every married
man a double personality ?" There
are suff fcient thrills to fill any even
ing, and the various mysteries are
dangled temptingly enough before
the eyes of all to keep them guess
ing and guessing until just before
the final curtain. Florence Edna

FIRST WOMAN U. S. SENATOR
Saws She Sees Better Citizenry Com
ing to America Through Efforts
to Improve Living
Standards.

"a woman who has lived to be
years and still retains
her optimism over the outlook for
human control that its not so much
question of laws to govern man
and woman as it is question OF
enforcement"
This was the statement of Mrs. w.
H. FELTON,, who has become the first
woman United States senator, as she
declared at her home in Cartersville,
Georgia, that she is succeeding the
late Senator Thomas E. Watson
without exciting herself over such
questions as the tariff, the bonus and
the "fast disappearing" flapper type
of a girl.
"Good laws and good lawmakers"
she continued, 1--WE already have, l
shall not strive to win glory In
craftsmanship if only / can aid in
making men and women live clean
er and more wholesome lives shall
be we'll satisfied"
"Women's entry into political af-
fairs is the most romantic develop
ment in this country's history. 1t
comes about because our great PROB
lens today are social and economic
and this is work in which women
are needed.
az am thankful for the good laws
that we have now, but even more
important are the greater laws thai
society must observe if we are tc
have a strong citizenry. We mus
have more thought of the simple
sweet virtues of life, men and WON
en- must be good because they wan
to be good.
s"No amount of legislation cal
make them good" she asserte'
though the future of our natol
and of our race depends largely
upon it.
81 see a better citizenry coming L
America only through efforts to I'm
prove our living standards. Tn
working man must have livinI
wage. He must not be forced to
much in competition with unskille
from abroad. There must be ever
encouragement"

ROCK ISL .ND'S
10TH BIRTHDAY
Fine Celebration of the Event Held
in Decorah Yesterday at the
Rock Island Park.
MAYOR CONOyER
GAVE FINE ADDRESS
Conductor Jimmy Rhodes, Who Run
First Train Into Decorah Was
Honor Guest.

The 10th anniversary of the great
Rock Island System was celebrated
yesterday over the entire system of
this great railroad.
In Decorah the event was cele-
brated in a most auspicious manner,
The first passenger train into De-
corah over this road arrived here
just SO years ago and the train
was in charge of Conductor James
Rhodes, and a fact most worthy
of note now is that Conductor
Rhodes is at the present time run
ming a passenger train into Decorah
on the Rock Island. Naturally Con-
ductor Rhodes was the guest of
honor at the celebration here yes
terday.
About 11:30 the Merchants Band
under the leadership of Prof. Sperati
assembled in the band stand at the
Rock Island Park and rendered sew
eral delightful selections. Con-
ductor Rhodes sat in the pavilion,
comfortable in a fine leather rocker
presented to him by his co-workers,
Mayor F. w. Conover was the speak
er of the occasion and the genial
mayor delivered one of the finest
addresses we have ever heard him
deliver. He reviewed the history of
the Rock Island system, and paid a
most glowing tribute to Conductor
Rhodes. A big audience was pre-
sent and everybody commented and
paid high praise to Mayor Conover
for the excellent address he gave
At the conclusion of the address the
mayor, on behalf of the Rock Is
land Co. presented Conductor Rhodes
with a bronze medal, which was in
appreciation of loyal and efficien'
! -erYice far ha'f century ip Va Il

over so years ago. He is now in hi'
10th year, and expects to retire on
pension soon.
Besides the medal Conductor
Rhodes was also presented with 8
purse, made up by the business mer
of Decorah.
Pictures of the train and crowd
was taken by Photographers Long
street and Sampson. The train hac
banners on it and was gaily de-
corated. Several receptions wert
rendered Conductor Rhodes at diff
ferent stations on the way to Cedar
Rapids.
The event in Decorah was excep
tionally fine and showed the spiri
of our people and their good will
towards the Rock Island.

T6e Cost Of PubIic Apathy

Though the people of America are
hundred per cent opposed to any
more taxation and are heartily sick
of the burdens that have been .plac-
ed on them, they fail utterly to make
their feelings known with sufficient
Tgor to cause their representatives
i'm congress to take notice.
Every man lodges the issue by
saving to himself whats the use
of my saying anything" As Mark
Twain said of the weather: "Ev-
erybody growls but nobody does any
thing y
Best authorities agree that addi-
tional Federal taxation this year is
unacceptable. National receipts Will
be less than figured on and expendi-
lures more. President Harding has
announced an unbridged span OF
S697 ,000,0 and if Great Britain
fails to pay interest on money lent
her during the war the defidt VIII
be 100000.
Against this may be deducted
S272, 100000 of the balance in the
Treasury at the close of the fiscal
year, and this spells additional taxa
| ton.
The farming interests are fatty op-
posed to a sales tax, the business
interests shrek at the thought Oh
screwing up the corporation taxes,
which undoubtedly would prove
final blow to a business revival.
There remains then the income tax'
now outrageously high, but stand
ing out as "the best bet of the poll
ticianS."
If the public remains apathetic' as
is its custom, then there will be no
Justification for complaint when the
new burden is added.
| 1t is questionable if any country
in the world is as unscientific in It's
| taxation as the United States. This
is because the people refuse to take
an interest in what is being done
in their name.

LUTHER WINS
OPENER ST TO O
Wisconsin State School of Mines
Football Team Meets With :.
Crushing Defeat.
LUTHER SHOWED
UP VERY STRONG
Has Championship Material This Fall
And Will Make Most Teams
Go Some to Beat Them.

Luther won her opener on Mon
day playing the Wisconsin State
School of Mines by score of 81 to
0. The Miners were tired from their
game with Campion on Saturday
with only one day to rest up in, and
were also lacking one or two good
men on account of injuries received
there. However, the quarters in the
second half were only ten minutes
long and Luther's second team was
in almost to a man for no small
part of the game, which makes 81
a considerable score anyway. The
game at least gave Coach Doseff a
chance to look over what he had as
nearly every man on the squad was
in the game.
Luther started the game with four
touch downs in the first quarter,
Jimmy Westby making three and
Bit Orwoll one. Bit and Jimmy
are doubtless slated for a majority
Of. Luther's groud gaining this
season, both of them making re-
peated long gains time and again.
Moe played consistent game at
full. Ossie Orwoll, Buck Larson and
Nick Otte all had their turns at be-
ing general and ran the team well.
In the second quarter Jimmy made
another touch down, and Ossie Or
vol, intercepting Miners pass on
the forty yard line leaping into the
air on a dead run, covered the dis
tance left to goal in fast time. Only
two of the attempts for extra points
succeeded, the half ending $50 in
Luther's favor.
In the second half Luther scored
once in the first period and twice ir
the second, Bilt Orwoll making two
of the scores and Buck Larsen the
third. Bucks touch down came af-
ter a pretty pass, Larsen to Stoke
and plunge by Kjelstad, and an enc
run and smash by Larsen.
The line is to be commended upor
its excellent work. On the defense
they were invincible, the Miner:
making their downs only twice II
the whole game, and then with th'
aid of passes. On offense they open
ed large holes for the backs witt
almost painful regularity.
Due to the large number of sub
stitutions on both sides, the line vi
is too complicated to give in an!
but its original form, which woulC
hardly give credit to the many subs
The scores were as follows: West
by A, Bit Orwell 8, Ossie Owoll z
Buck Larsen 1, extra points afte
touchdowns, Ossie Orwell 2, Bucl
Larsen 1, final score, Luther 81
Miners 0. Referee Simms of Kan
sas, Umpire Fields of Iowa, Hea

representative
VOTE IN NOV.
Republicans of Iowa Expect no Over
turn in Election Which VIII
Take Place on Tuesday,
Nov. Z.
WILL MAKE VIGOROUS
CAMPAIGN, HOWEVER
Only One Contest Between Nomi-
nees of Two Major Parties,
That Between Brook
hart and Herring.

Des Moies, Iowa-While Iowa re-
publican leaders express every con-
fidence that all of the state and
district republican candidates will win
at the polls on Nov. 7, they do not
propose to take republican success
for granted, but will work for a
representative republican vote on
that date.
Outside speakers may be brought
in near the close of the campaign,
while party leaders within the state,
both men and women, will be called
on to address political gatherings.
Governor N. E. Kendall, Lieuten-
ant Governor John Hammill, Attor-
ney General Ben Gibson and Colonel
Smith Brookhart will be the princi-
pal speaking force of the party with
in the state. All are candidates on
the ticket, and while speaking in
their own behalf also will speak for
the republican party.
B. B. Burnquist of Fort Dodge, re-
publican state chairman, is here to-
day attending to the details of get
ting the fall campaign under way
by organizing the office force at
state headquarters and outlining the
work for the coming weeks. He is
being assisted by P. r. Baldridge,
of the internal revenue department,
who has had considerable experience
in this sort of work.
Miss Elizabeth Muse, who has
been assisting Mrs. Frank Dodson,
at Washington, D. c., is to be here
and will assist Mrs. Henry w
Spalding in directing the work
among women. She was ins this
work two years ago at state head,
iquarters. 'AA''
Loyalty to republican principles
and devotion to the success OF the
party both in the state and nation
will be preached from headquarters
The national committee has sounded
the keynote as loyalty and devotion
and state organizations are to fur
nish the inspiration and enthusiasm
for the state campaign.
Republican leaders are predicting
a representative vote at the .Novem'
Der election. However, the only state
contest is between Herring anc
Brookhart, and the republican candi'
date is predicting he will carry ev
cry county in the state. In the alb
sence of any decided contest and IL
an off year, however, a heavy vote
is not anticipated.

MERCHANT SAYS
ADVERTISERS WIN
Fred p. Mann, Merchant of Devils,
Lake, n. ID. Tells How His Bus
mess Expanded by Adver-
tising.
LIVES IN A TOWN
OF ONLY 5000
Declares Advertising is the Greatest
Force in His Business, and Con-
sequently is Commanding
Large Trade.

Advertising was eulogized as the
sovereign remedy for declining trade
by Fred P. Mann a merchant of
Devils Lake, n. D., in an address
before the retail merchants bureau
at a better business meeting in Ho-
tel Savery in Des Moines.
Mr.. Mann told how his own busi-
ness has been expanded by advertis-
ing to almost metropolitan proper
tjons in a town of only 5000 per-
sons.
Advertising he declared is the
greatest force in business. He attrib-
uted the success of mail order houses
to their perception of this fact and
said the country merchants could
block mail order house encroach-
ments by wise advertising.
Country merchants, Mr.. Mann
charged, are fifty years behind the
times in their advertising methods.
In this respect he said, they are a
bout where the doctors and dentists
are now. In business, it is absolutely
necessary to tell the people what you
have to sell, and what service you
can do them, he declared. There is
no greater mistake a merchant can
make he said, than to suppose busi-
ness will come to him of itself.
"When | enter town for the first
time, look at it's newspapers" said
Mr.. Mann. eff they contain plenty Of
virile, constructive advertising,
know that it is live town. If they
don't / know it is dead town. | am
obliged to say to you that Iowa Is
not without towns in the latter cat
egory, judging by the extent to
which they have permitted business
TO be taken away from them that
