In the enterprsing town of Holly. Orleans

Twenty-Five persons of the best social and
business standing. have formed a co-opera-
tive boarding association. all members to
bear an equal share of the expenses. Grad
ualIy the various objections were overcome.
and the members are not only well satisfied
with the progress made. but think that in
a short time a noticeable decrease in their
living expenses will be evident Upon join
ing the association members contributed SIS
to create a fund with which to equip the
kitchen With this money two large ranges
and dishes of every description have been
purchased: also other articles necessary to
the culinary department. In the dining
room each family furnishes the table linen,
dishes and other articles for its own use.
In several cases where two families are
small. both have occupied the same table.
All expenses for provisions and the services
of the cooks and mattresses are then borne
pro rata by the members. There will be
considerable curiosity to know whether the
experiment can be made a permanent sue
cess.

From the Ladies' Home Journal
At home the mail had brought me some
interesting letters. full of IDEAS Listen to
this one from Lykens Pa. IA few DAYS
ago mother purchased a turkey with white
feathers. and as we plucked it we found
under the large feathers a mass of pure
white downy plumage. With this trimmed
white felt hat and made it look like os-
trich feathers. Next made mufr, using
white felt for the foundation on which to
sew the feathers by the stems SO that one
covered another. until the whole looked like
fur / made a seam of the ends placed a
sufficient amount of cotton inside and lined
it with silk. 1 wanted a boa. too, but the
soft feathers were used up, so utilized the
downy parts of the larger feathers, sewing
them on strips Of white felt about six inches
wide and nearly three yards long. lined it
with silk and inserted layer of cotton be-
tween. to give 1t warmth and thickness
My friends guessed SIS as the cost of my
new set of furs. But such white turkeys are
numerous. and any one can use their feath-
ers this way.
After reading this thought what pretty
trimming these feathers would make for
a child's coat and cap. or even to trim the
edge Of a girls evening wrap.

golden state, produced more wealth from

at $3341, Alb. the farmers Of our state pro-

We have no desire to take from Ohio her
