Plan on Foot to Absorb
Louisville and Lexing-

At a meeting of representatives of
the Central Home Telephone Com
pany and of the directors of the ln-
dependent Long Distance Telephone
Company, held at Louisville, a ma
iority of the stock in the long-dis-
lance company was signed over to
the Central company, the basis of
exchange being two shares of Cen
trail stock for one share of long.dis-
lance. The Central Home Telephone
interests were represented by E. l..
Barber Mr.. Barber had been in
Louisville for several weeks arrang-
ing the terms of the transfer. At
the conclusion of the negotiations
yesterday a circular was authorized
to notify all other stockholders that
they would take until midnight of
July 8 to accept the plan Of merger.
The merger of the Independent
Long Distance with the Central
Home is a step to take over the
Louisville Home Telephone Company
also. The Central Home has already
taken over the Independent relays at
Paducah, Henderson, Greensboro,
Hopkinsville, Paris, Cynthiana, in
Kentucky, and the Vincennes, Bed
ford and other relays in Indiana on
a favorable basis of transfer
The Home Telephone companies OF
louisville and Lexington are the next

complete system of telephones in
Indiana and Kentucky, with connec-
! tons extending as far east as Pitts
burg, as far west as St. Louis anc
as far south as Birmingham
| A director Of the Independent
ELong Distance Telephone Company
said that the merger of this com
pany with the Central Company wa
one Of the most important deals tina
had taken place since the organiza
ton of the Central Home Telephone
Company, and if the other deals nov
under consideration and in progress
could be carried through success
fully, the independent company
would thereby attain an estimablt
position in this section Of country
and would become a most formidable
competitor of the Bell interest.

A Dutch Supper.

Something new, simple and humorous
was desired to attract church congre-
cation to a gathering with the double
object of making money and promoting
social life and friendly feeling amongst
the people. Finally a Clutch Supper
was suggested and carried out as fol,
lows:
As the patrons entered the large hall
which was prettily decorated they were
each handed basket of common type.
These baskets had been borrowed,
wherever possible, to avoid the expense
of buying, and were plainly marked with
the name OF the owner. Grape baskets
and larger ones were used and there
were few market baskets for families
and groups of friends who wanted to eat
picnic fashion.
The guests made the rounds of the
booths buying anything fancy dictated
from the dainty and substantial food
displayed for sale. The booths contain
ed sandwiches, baked beans, brown
bread, salad, pickles, cakes, pies, meats
fruit, potato chips and other things.
The food that can be put into paper
bags or the thin plates Of wood used by
grocers, was easily disposed of, and the
refreshments were planned to include
such things. Other foods we're placed
in common white dishes rented for the
occasion from q china store. Large
tables were provided for the "Dutct
lunchers," and tea, coffee, cocoa and
milk were served at five cents glass Oh
cup.
Everything was reasonable in price
and the fun of selecting just what they
pleased appealed to the patrons. They
hurried from booth to booth filling theil
baskets with good things, and the marke
girls were kept busy supplying theil
demands. For twenty-five cents an,
one could get delicious supper or twice
that amount could easily be invested
| In a town of ten thousand the church
giving the 'Dutch Supper" cleared sixty
two dollars on a stormy evening.

THE SAVAGE MORO.
HIS Terrible Religious Frenzy While


HIS Terrible Religious Frensy which
Riots In Murder.
The Moro Is a savage, primal man,
q Malay, which is q branch Of one OF

He Is subjcc. when not under the In

strange, muir ferrous fits of insanity.
When Moro, without effort on his
part. becomes seized with Il desire to
murder he Is said to have run amuck." "
and at such times he will rush wildly.
slashins and killing every one he
chances to meet, even his own people.
When. however, he purposely works
himself into a religious frenzy 1t Is
with the desire to kill Christians and
by the faith of the prophet ascend
forthwith into paradise. The Moro In
this state of passion is said to be "ju-
ramentado." He has then taken re-
lisious oath. perhaps administered by
some sacred "hadji" who had duly
made his pilgrimage to Mecca. He has
bound himself up so that he suffers
excrucinting agOnies and through phys
ical suffering Is reduced to nervous
frenzy. Having once taken the oath,
the Moro "juramentadO' Is doomed to
Stay until ut last lie himself Is slain.
The Moro Is Il MOhammedan, but he
has perverted the Mohammedan BELIEF
until at times it Is weird, grotesque
and terrible religion. In the heart OF
the Moro there Is no fear Of death. 1t
Is to him but I'm incident Of life, and
his belief, as he has fashioned 1t, is
that he who dies In battle Is cleansed
from sin and goes straight to the bos-
oms of the houris In paradise. The
MorO's idea Of government Is force.
He has never known anything else. II

him. His world is ruled by fear, not

Carr Of Feather pillows.

Suggestions a. to the care Of feather
pillows or beds are not needed by the ex-
perienced housewife, but there are many
younger ones who will be glad to know
how to manage them properly.
When the pillows are new they always
have that soft pufiness which 10 so at
tractive in the appearance of . well-made
bed, and II the pillows are filled with
really firstclass feathers they will re-
tain their lightness for long time.
They should be we'll beaten every time
the bed 10 made up, and allowed to lie in
good current of air for some time to
insure thorough airing. Never allow
feather pillow to stay In the sunshine
for any length of time, as the sun heat
draws the oil from the feathers and gives
the pillow disagreeable odor.
If the pillow ticks become soiled, re-
move the feathers in the following man
ner: Make q new pair of ticks and put
the feathers into them, then wash the
soiled pair and use them to change the
next pair of pillows. Sew the new tickt
all around except place about eight
inches long in one end. Rip q CORE
spending place in the soiled pillow and
sew or pin the two together, leaving
space to insert the hand, and then have
an assistant pin the cloth very closely
around the wrist. Hold the soiled pill
| low above the clean tick and work thu
feathers through the opening. When al
are in the new tick, remove the PIN
carefully and withdraw the hand, being
careful not to press upon the pillow ant
cause the feathers to fly out of the open
ing. Rip the stitches and lay the soilet
| tick aside, then proceed to sew the open
/ ing in the new pillow in an over-and-ovel
seam. When managed in this way Their
is very little danger of the feathers get
ting loose and flying about the room.
To clean the ticks, take them out o
doors and turn them wrong side out
then shake them until all the feather
are removed. Prepare good suds o
pearline and soft water and let the tick
soak several hours. 1t will not hur
them to remain in the suds over night
and in the morning they will becom
clean with very little rubbing. Rims
we'll and hang in the shade to dry. Afte
they are dry, some housekeepers dip tn
ticks, still wrong side out, in very thil
boiled starch and then dry them agail
before ironing them on the wrong side
This is to keep them from leaking tn
feathers, as some ticks will after beinl
washed.
As the changing of feathers was quit
piece of work, even with the bes
methods, it is best to keep the tick
clean as long as possible, and this can b
easily done by using a plain white cove
under the pillow slip. Make it to fit tn
pillow and sew or haste it on. Thi
cover can be taken off and washed oc
casionally and the tick will remain clean

hardly penetrate through the two thick
