MRS. OWENS EXPLANATION

Citizens of Key West and Monroe county were
confidently expecting the frank and entirely salts
factory explanation made by Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen concerning the reckless and erroneous
charge uttered by James NJ. Carson, of her
campaign workers that there had been stealing of
votes in favor of W. ]. Sears in the Monroe county
primary.
1t was inconceivable to the good people here
that Mrs Owen could authorize any statement re-
flecting upon the honor of the people and Off
Gals of this county and they highly pleased to
know that their exalted opinion of this most
cstmabe lady and distinguished citizen en-
trey correct
Now that the primary is and the political
atmosphere is clarified, let's all get down to bust
ness again, and, like all true Democrats, support
the nominees when the general election day rolls

THE OLD HOME

spite of his plan to spend his vacation in the Adron
dacks, will find time somehow to visit his old home
at Plymouth, Vermont. In these days of rapidly
changing ownership, he is fortunate to be able to
keep and visit his old home
The great majority of people find now
adays, that their old homes have been sold outside
their own families, so they no longer free to
go back to the old place, and gain refreshment and
comfort from childhoods early scenes. 1t is very
sweet thing to go back to ones early home, if one
has reminiscent disposition, though people COM
monty move fast nowadays that the present

the root of lot of trouble when it is not managed
carefully '~
Many families spend large sums of money on
superfluities, and then when they want money for
some genuine need that involves their future well

FACE DISFIGURED
WITH PIMPLES

Druggist proves a friend in need

Kalispell, Mont, March 1.-Two
years ago my face was an awful
sight. The skin broke out with
pimples and blackheads and itched
all the time. washed it frequently
and applied various, salves, but
they helped little. One day asked
a druggist for a good cure for my
case, and that night I took home a
small jar Of Resinol Ointment.
Every morning and night I washed
my face and applied the ointment,
treatments l noticed the pimples
were starting to decrease and in
two or three weeks they were prac-
tically gone. I was so well pleased
with the results that / now keep
Resinol on hand and recommend it
whenever can" (Signed) Elkin E.
