girls was much enjoyed. Many tableaus
were given, the most elaborate OF which
was one by jas G. Kre,s, representing

The difficult task of awarding prize

assigned 70 Messrs. G.. :. Ward, b. c.

ladies having cleared about $4,000. and
they Justly feel proud of the result.

a powder composed of gum camphor
and powdered tobacco. Roll tight and
hang them away in clean flour sacks
In closing the house for summer
clean gilded frames with sweet oil, and
to prevent flies from getting on the
frames rub them with oil of lavender.
Wrap books in newspapers and put
them back in the bookcase with num-

To remove stains from mattresses
make a thick paste by wetting starch
with cold water; spread this on the
stain, first putting the mattress IN the

SHOULD BE a WARNING.

calls himself a Russian sympathizer.
and discharges 4 man in the middle of
the month because he refuses TO pay
for rope used as halters TO the pillow
animals, and when the man claims that
he can not be fired in the middle of
the month without cause. threatens to
lick him or kick him out of the
office. 1t is about time that laborers
asserted their rights
If plantation owners permit their
managers and lunas to antagonize Ia
Dor by unjust means they must take
the consequences. The laborer in this
particular case, however, did not fear
the licking as he knew the mana ger
(so-called) did not have courage
enough to lick a postage stamp.
