 Land now is being fitted for sow ing of fall wheat with some sentiment reported in favor of larger acreage than last year.

For 40 years l have lived a life of glory. All because of wondrous beauty and perennial youth. Some of you re- member me 36 years ago when was the rage of New York. Some of you now see me daily on the stage, looking like girl of 19.
 Yet 1 was a plain girl. My mother took me in world-search for the greatest beauty helps in existence. Frances great \experts gave me the hest they knew. And for 30 years they have supplied me every new dis covery. I feel that millions should enjoy the benefits I got. So I have combined all these beauty helps. in four prepara- tions. And am placing them, as a duty to my sex, at every woman's call.
 One is a supcr-clay
 Clay is our greatest aid toyouth and beauty. It has always been. Famous beauties have for ages gained their fame through clay. And millions now show the new beauty clay can bring.
 But there is a new-type clay, per fected by many years of scientific study. It is not crude and muddy, like the old-type clays, but white, refined and dainty. It combines two clays with nine added factors which bring multiplied results.
 My White Youth Clay is this new type. It is clean and fragrant. It purges the skin of all that clogs and mars it. It draws out the causes of blackheads and blemishes. It brings the blood to the skin to nourish and revive it. The result is rosy after glow which amazes and delights. It firms the skin, combats all lines and wrinkles, reduces enlarged pores. Many women with one application seem to drop ten years. To every girl and women it will bring revelation. The cost is 50 cents and $1.
 Two super-creams
 Two matchless creams have been perfected for me by some of the worlds leading experts. They com bine IS great beauty helps. No other cream 1 ever tried in any way com pares.

G. @. P. PARTY
JUBILANT ON
THE TAX BILL

WASHINGTON, Mar 1.-Mellon
may disapprove and Coolidge be
only half pleased, but Republican
leaders. in the house today are iubi-
liant over the passage of the tax
bill there late yesterday. For it
bears the labek Republican" be
cause the Progressives who all along
had been standing with the Demo
Gratis in n finn coalition, came over
at last to their own party.
This development was held by
administration leaders from the cap
i'll ito the white house to overshadow
mere details OF n tax bin. For it
was taken to mean that the La Fol
lette Progressives, despite their
strong disagreement with the con
aervative wing of the Republican,
party on most things, are not ready
TO break away from Republican
ranks on major issues, if it is pos
sible by compromise to remain in
the party fold.
La Toilette himself was held re-
sponsible today for swinging his
followers in the house to the Long
worth tax compromise, which per-
mitted the Republican majority to
claim authorship. of the bill as it
was passed and sent to the senate.
He is understood to have advised
acceptance of the Longworth pro-
posal.
What the senate viii do to the
bill no congressional leader would
attempt today to predict.
