Two Sisters-Freckles and tan come
from the same cause, and are not dis
similar fundamentally. In the case of
tanning there is a large amount of

In either case, it is natures method
of protection against the direct rays

your face when out in the sun, or by
using a bit of cold cream rubbed into

The cream forms the base for hold

FARM BUREAU since ORGANIZATION IN NOVEMBER, 1917
JUDGE CONY SPEAKS
AT HIGH SCHOOL ON
The CONSTITUTION

That the Constitution OF the United
States Is a safe. honest, permanent
standard Of judgment, was the de-
claration. on Friday, noon of Judge
Robert A. Cony Of the Augusta Num-
cipal Court in an address before the
members of the student body of Cony
High School on the occasion of their
observance Of Constitution Week.
Judge Cony contrasted 1t with the
English Constitution which is I'M
written and the French Constitution
which is changed so frequently that
a book seller once declared. In an
swering customer who desired a
printed copy of it, that he did not
deal in periodic literature.
The Constitution of the United
States is the oldest constitution In
the world. he pointed out. 1t was 139
years ago that so delegates met at
Philadelphia to draw up the docu-
ment. About 80 members did the ac-
tual work, their meeting being held
in secret. There were many different
strains Of blood represented there
and after they had succeeded in,
drawing up the Constitution it was
with difficulty that its adoption was
secured. it being three years before
Rhode Island adopted 1t, and then
with but three votes to spare.
Judge Cony emphasized the wis
dom Of the men who wrote the con-
stitution, pointing out that they have
made the courts Independent Of every
other branch of government. He
spoke of the three branches Of gov
eminent which Gibbons said consisted
of system of checks and balances.
In closing he pointed out that the en-
forcement of law in any community
will not be different from the prin-
ciples of the individuals who make
up the community. He said that the
United States Constitution will be
just what the boys and girls of the
high schools today make it.
The address was listened to with
a great deal of attention on the part
of the students, despite the fact that
the crowded condition of the room
forced many students to stand up.

whom he had employed at various
times.
Steward on the stand in his own
behalf admitted that he started the
atfray, but claimed that 1t was the
result of bad feeling between HIM
self and Mcclellan, dating back a
dozen years or so to an occasion
when Mcclellan had turned his
mother and sisters out of their home
in the cold of winter"
II wanted to prove that I was the
better man, and l did," said Stew
ard. He was entirely respectful on
the stand and admitted that he had
done wrong, but told the court that
he felt that he, had justification.
Following the hearing of the case,
it was learned that Steward, who is
man of splendid physique. had
served overseas during the World
war for nearly two and a half years.

Ira Steward OF Windsor was ar
raigned in municipal court before
Judge Robert A. Cony, Friday morn
ing. on a charge OF assault and bat
terry, preferred by Fred Mcclellan of
China, and after hearing the testi-
mony in the case Judge Cony found
the respondent guilty and ordered
him to pay a fine of SO plus costs,
which included medical attention for
Mcclellan, the victim of the attack.
Mcclellan, the complainant, told
the court that Steward attacked him
as he was standing talking with the
superintendent of the State Highway
construction project near Windsor
corner, Thursday, after throwing a
rock which cut. his lower lip so that
it was necessary to have two stitches
taken to close the wound.
A. II. Hill, superintendent OF the
road construction, said that he did
not see the start of the trouble. but
his attention was attracted when
he felt something strike his left leg,
and looked around to see the two
men in a clench on the ground. In
answer to a question by Judge Cony,
Mr.. Hill allowed that the two men
kept things quite lively for a few
minutes.
