Director Z. R. Moses of Great
Bend, who was here at the meeting
of the Kansas State Utility Board on
the matter of the permission to the
Golden Belt Railroad, and told the
Board the people wanted this road
built-had been trying for thirty
years to get a railroad built to the
Northwest, that their people were
willing to do anything and every
thing possible to get one, and would
for this one and hoped the Board
would grant the permission asked;
and also advised the people Of Hays
and Ellis county to get behind it and
push IT through as the best thing now
in sight, still hopes to see such a road
built. He hasn't given up the fight
and sends this circular out the 1st Of
March to the friends along the route.
1t talks right at he people sensibly;
DON'T GIVE UP
YOUR success is before you. 1t
doesn't come in a day, a year or IN
two years. The set-backs and draw
bcaks you have are only to make you
study our weak points, and correct
them. Study carefully the work you
are in, for if you give up you may
not have another chance.
OPPORTUNITY doesn't mean
that you are going to leap into sue
cess or into a fortune; it simply
means you have A CHANCE TO
WIN OUT if you stick to it. The
man who keeps changing loses out
and dies poor. The Farmers in gen
eral have the best opportunity of
their lives because they have learned
of the past that WILL make them
successful in future.
HANG ON, CLING ON AND
PUSH ON, TILL YOU GET
THERE. WE WANT TO SEE
YOU SUCCEED -

On Monday night at the Strand
Theatre, seventy-fve of the young
people of the Methodist church pre-
sented the pageant, "In Darkest
Africa" to a we'll filled house. Rev.
Glenn A. Baldwin, the pastor, who
has spent some time in Africa, had
prepared the pageant and directed its
performance. There were four epi-
sodes acted out. The first one was
an ordinary village scene where the
women worked at churning, grinding
wheat and carrying water. The men
and boys loafed and played games.
A scene from King Solomon's Court
was then portrayed. Large quantities
of gold were brought from Africa to
enrich the King. The curtain was
lowered and when raised again some
Arabs attack the villagers and a
number are taken prisoners and sold
into slavery at the port. An auction
scene was presented. Instead>of bids
being in dollars they are in goats"
''cows" and 'barrels of rum" Iiv-
ingston, Stanley and Moffat appear
on the stage. The nations are inter
ested. But missionaries of Islam are
also on hand and gain many con-
verts. Africa then appeals to the
church and the church then respond
ed, sending them missionaries, nurses
and teachers.

THE WASHINGTON OPERA
= COMPANY'S presentation Of
"Samson and Delilah" at Central
High School last evening-their
one performance here this season,
worse luck--stands out as a red
letter event socially as well as
musically.
Despite all the entertaining
which is being crowded into the
last few days before Lent and the
enforced change OF plan which al
ways mitigates against the sue
cess of an entertainment, society
turned out in force-and in its
best bib and tucker-to do honor
10 our own opera and to enjoy a
performance which would have
done credit to any company.
A pretty sight IL was, the
creamy walls of the spacious audi
torium at Central, with the great

gilded pipes of the organ striking
a decorative note, making an ef-
fective background for the COM
pany of distinguished men and
women in evening dress. Some
of the effect Of the golden horse
shoe" was lost from the fact that
1t was impossible to obtain from
the auditorium a good view OF
the front of the balcony, where
the boxes were improvised. But a
tour of inspection disclosed the
fact that many lovely gowns, as
we'll as many flashing jewels,
were worn by the ladies in the
boxes.

C1eopatra's way

With a world of ancient
beauty arts at her command,
she depended on cleansing
with Palm and Olive oils to
protect, improve and preserve
the freshness and smoothness
of her skin.
This identifying was not
confined to face alone. The
bath was a daily ceremonial
with all ancient peoples, palm
and olive oils the cleansers
used.
Battle with Palmolive and
keep your skin smooth and
white. 1t is a luxury all can
afford.
The Washington times., 1922-02-28
Popularity-Low price

Judge Palmolive by other soaps and
you will expect to pay at least rs cents
cake. But the popularity which keeps the
Palmolive factories working day and night
naturally reduces cost. Quantity produc-
ton is always economical.
Thus this finest facial soap is offered
at 10 cents a cake--a price all can afford.
You can economically use Palmolive for
every toilet purpose, for it costs no more
than ordinary soap.

blooming and alluring. The powder and
rouge you use to conceal defects deceive
no one.
The soothing cleanser
Palmolive is the modern combination of
the same identifying cosmetic oils Cleo
patra used in the days of ancient Egypt.
1t is just as valuable today as safe sooth-
ing cleanser.
Massage its smooth. creamy lather
softly into the network of tiny pores
which compose the surface OF your skin.
1t will remove the clogging deposits
which enlarge these pores, cause black
heads and invite blotches.
Dry skins are benefited by cold cream
after cleansing. If unusual dryness is your
trouble, apply little cream before as we'll
as after washing.

wakes up

This is the real test. The girl who wakes
fresh and radiant, with a clear, smooth
skin which has no defects to conceal, need
not worry about her looks. She possesses
the greatest of all attractions - the one
which outshines all others.
This need not discourage the girl whose
complexion is not so good. Proper care
will soon transform a bad skin into one
admired for its perfection.
Get rid of the clogging accumulations
which cause coarseness and disfguring
defects and you will soon be compli-
mented on your fresh blooming COM
plexion.
The secret is simple and about 5000
years old. 1t was discovered in ancient
Egypt and practiced by Cleopatra.

Lad Is Convicted
OF Wrecking Train

williston. N. D., Dec. Harry
Kerns, 1~S-year-old farm. boy. who vas
charged with malicious injury ITO a
railroad. in connection with the wreck
OF the freight train at Todd. siding
on October -. which caused the death
of the engineer and brakeman, and
whose trial commenced last Wednes-
day in district court here, was found
guilty Tuesday night.
The case which was one Of the
most sensational that has been held
in district court here and pm account
Of the large number of witnesses it
took a week to complete. For the
PLAINTIFF 10 witnesses were called to
the stand and nine for the defend.
ants. John Burke of Fargo. former
United States treasurer, assisted States
Attorney F. w. McGuiness in the
prosecution of the case and Kerns
was represented by Thomas F. Craven
OF the firm Of Craven and Converse.
Judge Lowe deferred the s%entenc-
ing of -Kerns until December II. when
district court will convene again fol-
lowing an adjournment which was
called Wednesday. The delay in Civ
ing Kerns his sentence is due to the
fact that the defendants attorneys
want time to- decide whether or not
they will appeal the case. The penal
ty for the crime Of which Kerns Is
guilty calls for a sentence Of from
four years to life in the state pent-
Tertiary. The jury remained out over
IL hours on this case
