The Kitchen Lino1eum.

If the kitchen floor is painted or COW
cred with oilclOth it will save much
cleaning. Oilcloth and linOleum should
be washed in the ordinary way with
warm water and soap. then wiped over
again with clean, warm water and
dried with a soft cloth. If water is
left on the oilcloth 1t Is inclined to rot
it; therefore it is important that it
should be dried thoroughly. Turpen-
tine and iinseed oil mixed form a good
preparation for restoring the bright
ness to oilcloth which has become dull.

THE VALUE OF GOOD TOOLS
Tool Buying No Longer Matter of
Luck.
Advertisement

Pretty nearly everybody knows
way they know the part tools play
in building the home, in the making
of furniture and doing hundreds of
other useful things. In fact, the
home that has not constant use for
saw or an axe or a tool of some
sort hardly exists.
Notwithstanding the general
knowledge of the utility of tools,
few people seem to realize what lot
of money can be saved by having a
tool chest in the home. Shelves can
be put in cupboards, furniture that
is damaged can be fixed and lots of
improvements can be made. The
best of it all is, very little experience
is needed to give anyone a good
working knowledge of how to use
tools.
Ordinarily, buying tools is largely
a matter of guesswork. If you want
an axe you go to the nearest hard
ware store and ask for "an axe" II
it turns out to be a poor one you have
to make out with it or buy another.
In other words, it is all a matter of
luck.
However, it is very simple for any
one-even a child-to buy tool of
any kind and be positive that it will
be the finest tool that can be made,
and that it will give satisfaction in
every respect. You say "How" By
simply asking for the Keen Kutter
brand. For the name Keen Kutter
covers a complete line Of tools, this
brand being the only complete line
of tools to receive the Grand Prize
at the ST.. Louis Exposition.
Keen Kutter tools have been the
standard of America for thirty-six
years, and are without doubt the
finest tools it is possible to produce.
Every Keen Kutter tool is made un-
der the mark and motto that 'The
recollection of quality remains long
after the price is forgotten" Yet
Keen Kutter tools cost but trife
more at first than inferior kinds, and
in the long run are much more eco
nomical.
If your dealer does not keep Keen
Kutter tools, write the Simmons
Hardware Co., St. Louis, Mo-, or 29s
Broadway, New York, who will see
hat you are supplied.

coLoRED FARMERS MEET.
Largely Attended Convention in Char

University. About four hundred were
in attendance. and aside from Neck
Ienburg. there were large delegations
from Cabarrus, Union, CASTOR and
Lincoln Counties.
President d. J. Sanders, of Biddle
University, welcomed the farmers to
the buildings and seventy acres of
lawn and grove.
Profs. w. F. Massey and g. W.
Burkett. of the A. & M. College, Ra-
leigh, and Mr.. r. W. Scott. of Ala
nance County, delivered addresses on
the general subject of farming.
Buying farms and building homes
was discussed in short speeches by
Rev. F. L. Brodie, P. P. Alston, Arch
deacon Pollock and DR.. J. T. Will
fams. Personal experiences in saw
inc and buying land were given. Rev.
Aston said that he invested $64 of
the first $S4 he made in land which
he now owns. Silas White, of Cabar-
rus County. testified to purchasing
a farm under the inspiration of the
conference.
On motion of DR.. Sanders, the
executive committee was empowered
to arrange district Institutes for the
farmers of the county.
On motion of Prof. III. II. Cald-
well. woman's section of the confer
ence was authorized under the leader
ship of D. J. Sanders and j. F.
Lyttle.
This department will give special
attention to butter-making, home
fruit garden, chickens, eggs and
questions of domestic science.
The rerort of the statistician
showed that 1,O69 acres of land had
been purchased by negroes of the
county during the past two years.
The following officers we're re-
elected: President. J. F. Lyttle;
Vice-President. T. @. @. Foster; Sec
retary, J. Foster, Statistician. 81. II.

Before adjournment the following
expressions we're put on record:
"D We remain firm in the belief
that our people should economic
and buy farms. and on these farms
build living houses of more than one
room, and in these houses build
homes. inasmuch as our race eleva-
ton. in all respects, depends upon the
home as a foundation. Without pure
and well-protected homes we are
lost people, all appearances to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
"(2( Our district schools have i'm
proved but little within the past
year. While grateful for the recog-
milton given and the assistance rem
dered by the authorities. we cannot
close our eyes to the fact that educa-
ton among us is making very slow
progress by means of the rural dis
tnct schools. Better school-houses
and longer terms and more compe-
tent teachers are the special needs in
this connection. In the absence of
evidences to the contrary, we hold
ourselves responsible for the belief
that our white people who share with
Us IN the public school facilities are
Wiling to cooperate with US. second
our efforts for school improvement
1t would be strange if they would not
make their own their first care. 1t
passing strange that we do not
care more for our own. Now is the
Iume tor a forward movement, and
iocal taxation for better school
houses and longer terms should be
our watrhword.
