•f Society
Women Voters for
World Court
Mrs. Charles H. Dietrich of Hast
ings, regional director for ths Sixth
district. League of Woman Voters,
made an address on the subject of the
world court and other matters of in
- terest to the league at a 1 o’clock
k luncheon at the Midway hotel in
Kearney, Monday, May 7. Mrs. Diet
>•- rich outlined the functions of the
world court, its importance in leading
. toward the prevention of war, that
subject of paramount suggestiveness
to the whole world at the present
moment, and urged every woman to
i untribute her effort and influence
, toward spreading accurate information
, i pgarding Ihe court. She showed cbn
», i lusively its disconnection with the
.* league of nations,
?? She also discussed another funda
mental objective of the league, the get
ting out of a more full and repre
sentative vote at coming elections, dis
closing the startling fact that less
t han 49 per cent of the electorate
participates in the voting which di
rects and ' controls the destinies of
the country. The League of Women
Voters has set its goal at 73 per cent
of the vote for the 1924 presidential
eiection. This undertaking is fraught
with potentialities for good which, if
accomplished, will more than justify
the existence Of the league as an or
ganization.
The local league began the study of
the national pamphlet, "Know Your
Town," and a meeting will be held
later in the month for replies to ques
tions and for discussion.
Mrs. Hugh McClure was elected a
delegate to the organization school to
be held under Miss Grace Zorbaugh in
Omaha May 23 and 2ti.
Mrs. I'>unk Labcock of Hastings
Was a guest of the league at the lunch
eon.

Farmer Brown'* Boy Puzzles the
Woodpeckers.
True friendship you, * an always trust
To do the thing that's right and lust.
—Old Mother Nature.
Now Drummer the Woodpecker
and (ihalterer the Red Squirrel knew
It not, hut they had been watched
that morning. Farmer Brown's Boy
"There,” said he. "I guess that
will head off (liattrrer."
had beard the fuss out in the maple
tree, and Very cautiously had peeped
out to see what was going on. He
had understood the situation at once.
“That little red robber is after the
eggs of those Woodpeckers,” mut
teredtered Farmer Brown's Boy. “I
didn't know they had a nest up in
that tree, but he must have discov
ered it somehow. He won’t gel those
eggs this morning, hut I'm afraid he
will get the young birds when they
hatch. With hungry babies demand
ing food every moment it will he im
possible for one parent to keel) guard
while the other one hunts for food.
I must look into this. 1 can't have
that little red robber friend of mine
bringing sadness to these oilier
friends of mine.”
So later in the day Farmer
Brown's Boy went out to the maple
tree. He took with him a sheet of
old tin. a hammer anil some small
nails. The sheet of tin he wrapped
around the trunk of the tree and
nailed it in place. “There," said he,

Famous Beauties
And what made them famous
The history of beauty for all ages deals
with palm and olive oils.
Geopatra used them. Roman beauties
used them. So did the beauties who helped
make history in the gala days of France.
In all the ages, science has found no
cosmetic to compare with palm and olive
oils.
Now millions use them
' Now times have changed. Today every
woman has these beauty helps at her com
mand, and millions now employ them.
You find them blended in Palmolive
Soap. Not in the old crude ways, but by
a method which gives them multiplied
efficiency.
• You find it sold at ten cents—the lead
ing toilet soap and the finest toilet soap
in the world.
Now every girl anrl woman lias com
plexion help such as ancient queens and
beauties never knew’.
Young skins everywhere
•Now you see countless fine complexions.
I he beauties of old could not compare
w ith the beauties of today.
I low can any woman resist Palmolive
Soa[j^? See what it is doing about you. See
the schoolgirl complexions at forty. Ask
your attractive friends. Most of them will
say they employ it.
If you have overlooked it. go now and
get it. I.earn how much it means to rosy,
youthful bloom.

“I guess that will head off Chatterer.
Also I guess it tvill keep Blade Pussy
from being too « urious about what
is going on in this tree. If those
Woodpeckers knew what I have done
I am sure they would at least want
to thank me. But of course they will
never be any the wiser, and if Chat
terer never appears again at their
home they will think it is because
they drove him away and he couldn’t
come hack."
N.*w of t our* t Drummer and Mrs.
Drummer ha-l known that Farmer
Brown's Boy was doing something !
to that tree. The blows of bis ham
mer had frightened them. To Mrs.
Drummer, sitting on the eggs in her :
home, those blows had sounded very I
terrible. She had come out and !
down away in a panic of fear. She j
was sure that Farmer Brown's Boy !
was chopping down the tree.
As soon as Farmer Brown’s Boy !
I .id disappeared .in the house Drum
pier and Mrs. Drummei ventured
back. Mrs. Drummer peeped In at
her eggs anxiously. They were just
as she bad left them, and she sighed
with thankfulness. Then they began
to anxiously examine the tree. Of
course. It didn’t take, them long to
discover that band of tin around the
trunk. They tried it with their bills.
They looked at each other as before.
They didn't know what to make of it.
Their hill* lei't no mark. Drummer
rather liked the noise. It was even
better than a dead litnb fot drum
injng But they were two very puz
zled birds a* they tleu up to their
1 home to taik matters over.
"What's it for?" demanded Mr*
Drummer.
"I don't know unv dear. J haven’t
the leant idea. Perhaps if we wait
! and watrh we'll find out," replied
I Drummer.
So they waited ard watched, but
nothing happened. Then those egg-1
began to hatch in the courre of a
few days, and from that time on
they could think of nothing but their
babies. 'Copyright, mi )
