CRAWFORD CITIZENS
LAND ON GOVERNOR
Sixty-five cltlaeni of Crawford
liave appended their nlftnatures to a
petition to Governor S. R. McKelvie,
asking the removal of O. T. TouVelle
as head of the state bureau of secur
ities. Mr. TouVelle, a week pr so
ago, gave an Interview to the press
In which he discussed the application
made by Mayor Arah L. Hungerford
of Crawford and other citizens for a
permit to organize an oil company
and dispose of stock. Mr. TouVelle
proceeded to get exceedingly "smart"
In talking of oil prospects at Craw
lord, and the good people of that re
gion are still hot under the collar.
Following is the petition. In part,
which, by the way, we have not seen
printed in any of the Lincoln news
papers: We, the undersigned citizens of
Crawford, Dawes county, Nebraska,
and vicinity do hereby heartily con
demn the action of your employ, O.
T. TouVelle, whom you have put at
the head of the state bureau of se
curities for his conduct in giving to
the press the burlesqued article cov
ering Arah L. Hungerford of Craw
ford and ridiculing the oil situation
here. We condemn the act as un
warranted and with malice afore
thought and believe it for a purpose
of personally striking at Mr. Hun
gerford, who has been a citizen of
"Crawford for the past fourteen years
and of whom, to this date, we have
never known other than fair and
honorable business dealings. Wr
respectfully request the immediate
Temoval of your man TouVelle from
the office which he has disgraced and
shall expect immediate action from
you.
"The Information asked for by Mr.
Hungerford was asked for at the In
stance and behest of perhaps the
majority of the citizens of Crawford,
who believe that we bave untold
wealth In oil underneath our city
and surrounding acreage. Mr. Tou
Velle had no business whatever and
was entirely unwarranted In giving
this to the press In the tone and fash
Ion he did. or, In fact, for giving It
to the press at all. Mr. Hungerford
and his associates, who will number
the majority of the leading business
men of Crawford and vicinity, had a
company In consultation within the
City of Crawford at the time of wir
ing to the office of the bureau of se
curities. "The information requested In
that telegram was Information de
rired and necessary to be had before
th closing of n contract for drilling
The telegram was a day letter and
not a night letter as claimed by Mr.
TouVelle to the reporters and we be
ll've was received by him during the
day and not at night as he gave out
to the reporters in his smart fir't
overbearing way. Mr. TouVelle Is
making a fool of his office and a Joke
of the state and we believe that you
lor the best interest of the State
should forthwith dismiss him, put
ting some man in the office who will
transact business in a mnnnerly
way.
"We heartily deplore the present
stringency the State Department ' f
putting upon the development of the
resources of the State of Nebraska.
Under the'present rule of the bureau
of securities people cannot Join to
gether even for the development of
their own community, much to ho
chagrin of the people and detriment
to the future prosperity and ad
vancement of our state."

There Is nothing more attractive
about a women than a clear, healthy
complexion. The tint and plow of
facial skin makes an Impression,
quite often before beautiful eyes
have a chance to open their, full
batteries on the h'art. Tilde In the
possession of a fine facial skin Is
more than pardonable; it is proper.
That much time and attention should
bo spent on making It as near per
fect as possible Ih axiomatic.
A good complexion Is nature's
best evidence of health. This knowl
edge urges woman to exert every
effort to keep the complexion above
crlticisni. Ways of doing this were
not unknown to the ancients. Many
women of history. Indeed, have vied
In perfecting arts of preservation.
Certain women became celebrities
for their looks alone, and so much
so that even now formulas, believed
to be handed down oy them, are re
ligiously copied and kept supposed
ly secret by those fortunate enough
to have gained an inkling of their
methods and preparations.
Hut science has progressed so far
that such secrets are of little merit
now.( We know that with persever
ance and patience and proper at
tention, skin may be made beautiful
and that ordinary features can be
made normal and even attractive.

Mrs.MinnieRosetta
Proprietor.
I am mi:ig to call your attention
to the .disorders of young peple. One
of the commonest of these disorders
are pimples, or acne. This unsightly
condition of skin is very frequently
noticed iu young girls. There are
many causes that produce it of whl.h
lack of cleanliness, carelessness In
looking utter skin, faults of exerc!sw
and diet and blackheads are the
most common.
A gH Ht many cas rs can be cured
by simple external measures asso
ciated with the proper hygelne. Of
course diet and method of living
must be looked Into. Foods that are,
heating, Iresh bread, pies, cont
inents, indulgence In candy, an',
meal ln or three times a day must
be forbidden.
MansaginR the face of the patient
is not advisable first. After using
hot towels, the pimples should be
opened with a small lancet that has
been properly sterllzed by boiling
and dipping Into peroxide of hy
drogen. Then the face should be
cleansed with an antiseptic lotion.
Of these lotions there are many
the highly antiseptic ones give th
best results. The following is ex
client :
Acne ('leniiMlnji Lotion
Mercury liichloriue 7gr.
Zinc Sulphate Ifigr.
Tlct.' Henioln .. 2dr.
Water 4o.
Dissolve the mercury in the water;
t.hen add the zinc, sulphate and
'astly the benzoin. This lotion Is
polAonous and should not b? allowed
to get Into the eyes.
While .objectionable, the "steam
roller" Is not so much to be resented
as the machine guns used In politics
elsewhere.
Sir Fortesque Flannery says the
next war will be downright brutal,
the last one having been a ladylike,
affair, of course.
A girl in Texas has won a prlie
for designing, making and wearing
a $2.78 dress. She may be a wonder
but she'll never be stylish.
