So Much Has Been Said and Ter So Little Real Help Given to Women, That It Is No Won der T h cir Complexion
 Troubles Have Never
 Before Been Solved

Tn the winter time 80 per cent of the neople lack the proper amount ot the Natural Oils, which the skin must have to keep it clear, smooth and lovely, be- cause the harshness of winter winds and weather use up more than the amount of these oils which the system can supply. That is the reason 1t is so trying and. exasperating to keep your complexion smooth and lovely, in the winter time especially, unless you do like the thousands of girls and women who have found that by using the fa- nous Black and White Beauty Crea- tions. they are sure to keep that girly complexion no matter what happens.
 The way they do is to thoroughly clean all powder and accumulated dirt from the skin with Black and White Cleansing Cream before going to sleep; then after cleaning this cream off they rub a film of the Cold Cream over the skin, which is absorbed during the night. ,
 do is to protect the skin for the day by using first the Peroxide Cream be- fore YOU put on your face powder, and 1t will keep your face looking smooth and natural without having to put on more powder every few minutes.

In South Carolina the Primer and
First Reader-adopted May, lSzz-
are sold under one cover for 6o
cents. The two books cost the MIS-,
sissippi child $113. The Second
Reader has thirty-two (S2) more
pages than the Mississippi edition,
and sells for IS cents, just one cent
more than the Mississippi edition
(64c).
The Mississippi edition has 10
more pages than the Tennessee ana
Alabama editions. What about the
difference in price? II 80 pages cost
1c, what ought 16 pages to cost?
The Russell Bond Commission
adopted the Graves Writing Books
at TIC for the smaller edition ana
96c for the larger edition; When
the Palmer Writing Books, mucn
superior system was offered to them
for Csc.
This Commission re-adopted the
Colaw, Duke, and Powers Elemen-
tary Arithmetic, an old antlquated
book, at an advance Of one hundred
and Twenty-Five per cent (129%o).
The plain truth is that the people
of Mississippi are paying from 20 to
800 per cent more for their school
books than are the people of Ten
nessee, Alabama, and some other
neighboring states. Neither Mr.
Bond nor his coadjutors can explain
away these stubborn facts.
Who is responsible for these high
price books?

of his office the State Superinten-

and in recognition of this fact SUI

IT'S NOT A SPORT

Farmers in Mississippi are COM
planning of poor crop prospects.
Poor crop prospects have been
somewhat common since the dawn
of time, and will doubtless continue
until the end of time.
But somehow or other, the farm
ers seem to succeed in raising some
thing, Notwithstanding their COM
plants.
Which brings to mind that way
back in the Bible days the farmers
used to complain of poor crops.
Joel was, perhaps, one of the
greatest complainers in history, and
he INDUCED in a goodly amount of
lamentations concerning the crops.
Listen to this loud anguishing
in the first chapter of Joel, 4th, 9th,
10Th and 18th verses:
That which the palmer worm
hath left hath the locust eaten; and
that which the locust hath left hath
the cankerworm eaten; and thai
which the cankerworm hath left
hath the caterpillar eaten-For a
nation is come upon my land, strong
and without number, whose teeth
are of lion, and he hath the
cheek teeth of great lion. He
hath laid by vine waste, and barked
my fig tree; he hath made it clean
bare, and cast it away; the branches
thereof are made white-The field
is wasted, o We husbandmen; howl,
O We vine dressers, for the wheat
and for the barley; because the
harvest of the field is persisted.
The vine is dried up, the fig tree
languisheth; the pomegranate tree,
the palm tree also, and the apple
tree, even all the trees of the field
are withered.
Mr.. Farmer, the next time you
feel like complaining of crop pros
poets, read Joel's lamentation, and
if you can't surpass his grievance
don't say anything at all-Jackson
Daily News.
Although we belive Joel has us
bested by many miles, the farmers
of this section have just reason for
complaint.

Surely, this commission Is respoq-
sible for it's acts, then how is Bond,
the chairman, the leader, the most
influential member to escape re-
sponsibility?
(The reports that I, F. B. Wood
ley, had any connection In any way
whatsoever with the 1920 Russell
Bond Text Book Adoption are abso-
lutely and unqualifiedly false)
Bond has been superintendent for
practically two full terms. He was
appointed by Governor Bilbo in Sep

endorsement for third term.
When does the present text book
contract expire? June, 1925.
Is there no hope of some present
relief? YES.

State Superintendent of Education,
will be to file suit against the book
companies violating Section 1903,
Code 1906 as amended 1920, and
compel them to give Mississippi a
square deal, If there is any COMPEL

A very unique idea to further
advertising of summer resorts was
that employed by Mr.. and Mrs

Normandy Court located on Big

German. The lake was shown to-
gether with the tree-lined grounds

what the summer guest would see
upon his arrival at the resort. This
replica of Normandy Court was
first shown at the Outdoor EXPOSE
ton in May. From there it was
taken to Minocqua and displayed
all summer; then it was shown at
the Villas County Fair last week.
1t was a splendid method of adj
vertising.

DICK TURPIN AND WIFE.
Silver Black Foxes With En-
viable Record - Jimmy"
Shows Love for Her Mas
ter.

If you have the opportunity do
not fail to meet Dick Turpin and
his wife Sylvia. Also grasp the
fact that you will miss something
if you do not visit MRS. Jimmy .
Dick and Sylvia Turpin are
highly registered Silver Black
foxes at the Pioneer Fox Farms a
mile west of Eagle River. This
pair has a record for breeding
true-to-type progeny and have the
honor of producing a pup whose
pelt on sale in 1921 brought $500
in London said to be record
price for pup pelt. Mr. and Mrs.
Turpin are tame as can be; their
old friend Mr.. Berry will enter the
pen and with a command either
Dick or his wife will jump upon
his back and permit of any num-
Der of caresses. They rather like
the fondling bestowed upon them
and, like all the other foxes on the
ranch, are decidedly tame.
In an adjoining pen at this ranch
is Mrs. Jimmy, a silver black.
Mrs. Jimmy was taken very sick a
year ago at the ranch in Alaska,
and for weeks her life was dispar-
ed of. Mr.. Barry kept her in his
cabin and nursed her through to
health again. They became very
much attached to each other, and
when the shipment of foxes from
Alaska to Eagle River was made
a week ago, Mrs. Jimmy was a
member to this new home. Upon
her arrival early last week she re-
fused to eat and Mr.. Henry could
not diagnose the trouble. Upon
the arrival of Mr.. Berry, her for
mer owner Monday, it was found
that the fox was mourning for
her old master. When he entered
the pen she was one overjoyed fox,
and began eating as before. 1t
was a case of pure love for her
master, and her demands for af-
lection from him must be satiated
several times a day. She must be
taken up and petted just the same
as mother pets her child, and
only one person can do that, and
that is Mr.. Berry.
