 That matter can easily be settled" Cray said. and going to the door he asked Mrs. Adams to send Miss Bascom to them.
 With an important air the spinster entered the room.
 Holding herself very erect and even drawing aside her skirts as she passed Miss Austin, she took a seat on the other side of the room.
 Now, Miss Bascom," Cray began at once, what made you think of looking in this lady's bureau drawer for that money?"
 T didn't look for it. MT. Cray. merely felt that she had done wrong and I thought perhaps some evil dence would be hidden away in her room. And a top drawer is the place a woman oftenest hides things"
 Cray gave a short laugh. Rather clever of you, I admit. But Miss Austin says she did not put that money there, herself-that it was plant"

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
 ARE NOW CONVERTED
Black and White Beauty Trail' draws many new
 followers each year

When the discoverers of the mar vicious Black and White Beauty crea- tions first announced to the girls and women of this country that they had at last perfected a means of really correcting bad complexions, 1t was regarded as simply another wild claim which would explode when put to practical use.
 But as each year has passed since that memorable day Gin June, 1916) the figures show that large numbers of new converts have been added to the Black and White label until now Black and White Beauty Creations are selling at the phenomenal rate of more than eight million packages a year.
 When asked recently to give the reason for the tremendous popularity and big sale of Black and White Beauty Creations, one of the chemists said: ITO us it Is nothing out of the ordinary for such Black and White Beauty Creations as Cleansing Cream and Peroxide Cream to get such uni versal approval among girls and women everywhere. These enormous sales mean but one thing, and that IS Black and White Beauty Creations are actually accomplishing what women expect in caring for their complexion 70 keep it looking smooth, and clear without lot of trouble.
 "One or two packages are sold in a neighborhood through the adver- tising and twenty more are bought there because the first ones bring such astonishing results. People are always ready to tell others about method which helps them accomplish what other things failed to do."
 Not a week passes that falls to bring out hundreds of statements from girls and women about the won derful results they get in correcting bad complexion by using Black and White Cleansing, and Peroxide Cream. This alone is sufficient to explain the phenomenal sale of the Black and White Beauty Creations, and is the best reason no power on earth can keep them off the dressing tables of girls and women all over the coun- try.

ACCORDING TO HOYLE,

The first great authority on card games, Edmund Hoyle. died in Lon don 154 years ago. Hoyle's peculiar genius won recognition in his life time and the phrase, According to Hoyle, was already in general use at the time of his death. Ills books Cn games were best sellers, and Hoyle realized more money from their sale than usually fell to the lot of authors in that period. Ills trea- tise on whist, first published in 1743, ran through five editions in one year, and Hoyle received about 1000 from the publisher. For a time Hoyle held public office in Ireland. which paid him S3,000 Aa- year, altht ugh his du- ties required but small part of his time Hoyle also gave instructions in whist to the nobility and gentry, his charge being $5 per lesson.

F. B. Responsible
For Club Work

In some instances there seems to
he some slight misunderstanding as
70 the relationship between the local
Farm Bureau and the boys and
girls clubs in agriculture and home
economics in the same community.
Club work is being conducted in
inns county, as in all other counties
IN the State. by the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service and the Farm Bur-
can in cooperation. a written
agreement to this effect is included
in he county program of work and
si"ned by both parties.
The members of the local Farm
Bureaus discuss this project an
nuaily at their program planning
meetings and vote upon it. If they
wish to do club work they SO vote
and thus include it in their local
program for the year. A club pro-
iect leader is then >chosen who has
full char"e of the work in the COM
munitN, is responsible to the mem
bers for its success. is member of
the Farm Bureau community COM
mittee and reports results to the
Farm Bureau at the emo of the year.
Thus the boys and girls club is
as much a part of the local Farm
Bureau program as a fire'ess cooker
campaign. or a poultry culiing dem
OnstratiOn. and the members should
stand ready at all times to render
any possible assistance to the local
leaders and the club members
