No complexion treatment yet discover
ed seems to have become so generally
popular as the mercolized wax process.
Evidently the reason is that this method
actually gets rid of had complexion,
which can hardly be said of any other.
To temporarily hide or bleach the de-
fective skin with cosmetics cannot COM
pare with the effect of literally remov-
ing the skin itself. Mercolized wax takes
off the OFFENDING surface skin IN flour,
like particles, n little at time, until
there's none OF IL left. The new complex
ion thus produced exhibits healthy
glow and girlish beauty obtainable In

EXHIBITING LIVESTOCK

AS the time for the agricultural fairs draws near
er breeders of purebred livestock becoming deep
hibitng.
w. W. Van Pelt secretary of the Southern Cali
fornia fair at Riverside, has made rather exhaus
tive inquiry among breeders generally throughout
not only California but Arizona Nevada, Oregon and
Washington and into the central and eastern
states, and finds there is unusual activity this year
in practically every department with the possible
ception of swine The lowly pig to be suffer
ing from bad combination of conditions, and will not
be extensively in evidence at fairs this fall for
the last three four years That he will back
and will come back with rush and vigor, and very
soon, cannot be doubted as must have the pig.
1t is quite apparent that the beef breeds will be
more fully represented at the southern fairs this fall
than possibly ever before. The American Hereford
record association in offering liberal prizes for their
national show, stipulates that the winner of these
prizes must have proof that he has exhibited least
two county district fairs. This is very strong
tional recognition of the value of the smaller fairs and
certainly stimulates exhibition among the breeders
of Herefords. AT least, there to be strong
stimulus in this breed there large number of
breeders preparing herds for the southern fairs.
There also promises to be two or three very at
tractive herds of Aberdeen Angus exhibition in the
south
The milking Shorthorns very much in evil
dence this year and some splendid specimens will be
on the circuit. This is duo purpose that seems
to have become quite popular. The beef Shorthorns
for some reason not quite much in evidence and
while some breeders are talking favoraby of south
ern circuit the assurance OF more than two or three
has not been received. There will be- however, two
good representative herds at the southern fairs
representative showing of the dairy breeds is
promised. At Riverside they planning for
strong showing of dairy cattle One very unusual fea
ture will be very close call between Guernsey Hol
stein and Jersey in numerical strength Ayrshres also
will be well represented.
Draft horses appear to be coming back in unusual
strength this fall Ventura county is very strong in
this department and promises to bring representa-
tive showing in Percherons, Cydes Shires and Bel
gians to Riverside and Pomona with mules and jacks
in strong array
The sheep department will also be unusually
strong The meek and modest sheep has taken to itself
much and assertveness the last two years
and eight ten breeds will be strongly shown over
the entire western fair circuit.

A LAND OF LAW

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the
sudden exit of President and the entrance of
other is the ease of the transition In many
tries almost any change of government attended by
violence and uproar. Even in the majority of highly
civilized lands so momentous event would be
companied by much ceremony and widespread changes
in the personnel of government, with corresponding
excitement partisan activity and perhaps threats of
revolution Here it came about simply and automa-
ticay. The accession of President, whom few
citizens had expected to become the head of
government, was regarded as purely g matter of
course inevitably the rising of the when the
night is past.
"a land of settled government" is the famous char
acterzation that Tennyson applied to England 1t
should be applied to America less. With all
superficial lawessness, there is in the heart of the
nation an overmastering respect for law. The Con-
stitution rules, and in crisis few dream of ques
tioning it.

CROCHETLNG

young and fairly intelligent married woman, on

heavy thread making little wheels which were put
together to make big wheels, which in turn were to
be combined some day in the grand sum-total of a
marvellous white bedspread, made of millions of
stitches.

Fish, Airplanes
To Play Hide
And Seek

SAN PEDRO, Cal, August
1S.-Aia of government sea-
planes is to be asked to dis
cover the huge schools of abb
core and tuna which have failed
to appear in their usual haunts
off the southern coast this sum-
mer.
The on-appaarance of the
fish threatens a large fishing
and canning industry here with
disaster. Hundreds of men and
women in the tuna canneries
and fishing fleet of approx
imately 800 boats will soon be
idle unless the mystery of the
whereabouts of the chicken of
the sea is solved.
Fishing boats returning from
the tuna's usual habitat in the
Channel Islands are bringing in
a few dozen lone albicore where
formerly hundreds of thousands
of tons of the fish were caught.
It is believed that the sea-
planes, flying from great
heighth., will be able to sight
the schools of the large fish and
trace the course of their 1928
migration.
In the meantime, the short
age has caused price war
among the canneries anw where
the opening price of 1922 was
S120 ton, some canneries are
now offering $500 ton for
the fish.

COURT DELAYS
JUDGEMENT TO
RESTRAIN I.W.W.
by Unised Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 1S.-
The question of whether Industrial
Workers of the World are to be
jailed without jury trial in Cali
fornia, today rests with Superior
Judge Charles o. Busick, who sew
erai weeks ago granted a temporary
restraining order which had exactly
that effect.
The question before him now sub
mitted by attorneys is whether the
temporary order shall be turned in
to a permanent injunction.
Judge Busick denied a plea for a
change of judge, based on allega-
tions of prejudice on his part,
heard argument on the defendants
demurrer and took the case under
advisement. The demurrer is on
technical grounds alleging that the
complaint is not clear, does not
state facts and is improperly
drawn.
