Electricity has many uses The latest in
vention in this line is an electrical weed killer.
With this appliance the housewife can go into
her flower garden and with mere touch Kill the
weeds therein 1t is useless to say that to do
this successfully some knowledge OF the diff
ference between weeds and flowers is lndls-
pensible, hence it would be unsafe to assign the
husband to this particular work.

Having heard that the Union Shoe & Leather
Co. had received an order from Warden WOlfer
for 800 pair of slippers, which were to be fur
nished the inmates to be worn in their cells
and to chapel. we looked up Sup't Connolly and
asked him if there was any truth in what we
had heard. Mr.. Connolly assured us that we
had not been misinformed, and courteously
neat and gave evidence of having good wearing
qualities. 1t will be great comfort to the boys
to lay aside their heavy shoes when they enter
their cells in the evening, and the cost will be
slight, as the slippers will, with proper care
| last for several years.
The twine factory closed its overtime work
for the season on the 9TH and is now running
ten hours a day. Irvine has been shipped tC
every county in the state, the shipments
aggregating 1912 ,962 pounds. OF the Irvine
shipped 1926 pounds was hemp, manufact
ured with the old machinery and 1926 was
sisal and manila, the product of the new plant
since it was started. The last carload was
shipped on the 5th and there is not pound left
over excepting that manufactured on the after
noon of the 9Th. The excellent crops in all parts
of the state made the demand for Irvine eXcep
tionally good, and the state could have sold
far greater amount had it been possible tt
manufacture more.
