BAD COMPILATIONS ARE POPULARITY RUNNERS "Clear the Skin, Regain That Girly Appearance and Most Other Faults Are Overlooked" Say
 Authorities on
 Beauty.

The motion picture screen has done hnore than any other thing to prove that with beautiful complexion you can over come the handicaps of no education, few advantages. poor circumstances and thin, unattractive form.
 If you could see and talk with great many of the girls and women of the screen you would find that their charm is in the face. and that they rarely ever have that inherent aristocracy which their appear ance on the screen impresses you with.
 This shows that you can make the same impression on the people who pass you as you walk along among the crowds or those you come in contact with every day if you will just let the thousands of girls and women who use the Black and White Beauty Creations be your guide.
 If these women were not satisfied with Black and White Cleansing and Peroxide Cream, Face Powder, Soap and many other complexion necess sities now sold under the Black and White label, the tre- mendous sale of more than eight million packages a year would not be possible Anything can be sold once. but unless it really brings results that thing will not be bought a second time,

Watch Your Bond Issues

Ihe inclination Of the American people to plunge into debt
is beginning TO develop its shadow, and unless there is an early
aw akening the shadow will take the form Of a spectre. This
fact has been brought to the fore by Herman Metz, a former
Controller of the city of New York, who, as chairman of the
Committee on Non-Partisan Facts, reports that the general
bonding system for public improvements is so unScientifcaliy
handled in America that the taxpayers of the nation are vast
ing millions of unnecessary dollars and piling up a staggering
debt. Particularly is this true in villages where the home
owners are constantly made the victims of bad local financing
engineered by boards of trustees and other functionaries who
know not the first principles of finance in relation to economies.
People are easily swept off their feet at the call for improved
roads, new sewerage, and other forms Of desirable Improvement
1t will be found as a rule that to 'put these enterprises
over" assessments are jugged to evade debt limit laws, streets
that will last ten years are bonded for twenty and forty years.
The issuing of village bonds instead of attacking the prob
lem of public improvement by local assessment is creating a
situation that sooner or later will lower the value of village
real estate. There is scarcely a village in all America that
could not with advantage to itself pause to consider the effect
Of ignorant financing. Let us have sanity in bringing progress.

America Booming Along

THE man who is not sold on America is the man who does
not think. True we are an electric people, emotional to a
degree, and subject to all the annoyances of temporary malad-
justment. Now we are joyous, viewing the world from the
mountain top, now we are ~wistful-in the depths Of the valley.
Clear vision, however, sees nothing but the steady advance.
While the blasts of winter have been chilling us, railroad traffic
has been increasing until it reached the heaviest point ever
nxperienced for the season. Panic talk about unemployment
as given place to grumbling about the inability to get help.
For the first time in the history Of the country the cotton
pindles in use in January have exceeded 3%5,OOO,OOO. Textiles
re booming, iron and steel reports show enormous activity and
ltonobile manufacturers predict their biggest year.
Even with all OF this improvement conditions are still un-
titled. There is still talk of merchants travelling on danger
us ground. The Glocms contend that merchants will be caught
With high price merchandise on their shelves that the public will
lecine to buy at the prices asked. More than likely, however,
ne alert merchandiser will have bought and banked his profits
nefore the Pessimists awaken to the fact that we are living and
working in the greatest country in the world.
We control practically all the gold in the world and what is
more important we are coming to set the moral am. business
standards of the world, which summed up in plain honesty,
spells the certain reward of dominating progress. i.

The Farmer Must Have Justice

v hlle labor as a Unit is studiousy keeping away from poll
ties, conditions are driving the farmer into politics, this because
the farmer Sees no Other way Of accomplishing anything like even
justice.
Business gcr'taHy has started off with a h5slh! SOON. From
all parts OF the country come reports of i1c:easei activity
Buying has again assumed a healthy trend Tie rDn and steel
industry reports a hopeful outlook, automobile manufacturers
expect a big year; shippers have been benefited by the cut in
freight rates, gold is piling up, and if the nation keeps free of
foreign entangementS the road to prosperity seems wide open
to all.
The farmer, however, lags behind, despite the fact that he is
the wholesale producer OF food and clothing. Farming and
transportation rest as the final foundation of trade.
1t will be regrettable if the ~selfShness Of the money power
dechnes'to recognize this fact and compels the farmer to line up
in Congress to create a machinery in the interest of agriculture
regardless of its effect on the industrial world.
The money power of the East has frowned on the Farm
bloc, but it may be forced to look upon these legislators as the
leavening Influence that will lead TIE country into the promised
land. Indeed it is to the vision of Farm bloc members that the
country owes many a vote of thanks. The farmer must get
justice without being forced to organize for agriculture ONLY.
Let the bankers wake ND.
