Do we who wear cotton for
coolness ever think of those
who pick It in the blazing sun?


The thoughtful hostess who pro
vides fresh power puffs for her
guests will want to know about
the dainty cotton puffs in trans
parent novelty containers at the
Coolidge Drug Company. There
is a French General" whose tall
military hat is filled with individ
ual cotton orchid puffs sun-tanned
puffs show through for his face
on which the saucy features are
painted. The uique idea is com
pleted by a gold chin strap and
tassles. The General would add
chic to any lady's dressing table
from which he will no doubt flirt
with her guests.
When one starts investigating
the uses of cotton and it's products
they can go on and on, but we've
seen and heard enough for a
single summers day. Let's &c
cool off with coke-and until
next week, adios.

Van Vert when the trained men
were not available in Lima.
A pre-employment defense train
ing class in Van Vert, sponsored by
the Van Vert Board of Education
in conjunction with the Marsh
Foundation School trustees, benefited
by Lima's lack of trained workers.,
when Lima Locomotive Works Of
