Two Lucky Boys.

A C h ison, Kansa Las t
spring JOS. Keller, who lives between
Purcell and Denton, went into his
wheat field with his two sons, aged II
and II, to pull the occasional stalks
of rye. When they went in to dinner
Mr.. Keller said the wheat cid not
look very well and the boys asked
him what he would take for all it
made over 30 bushels per acre. He
said he would give them all it made
over 20 bushels per acre and the boys
called on their grandmother to wit
ness the bargain. Thursday Mr.. Kee-
Ter finished threshing and found that
his wheat made an average of 4612
bushels over 65 acres. The boys will
therefore get more wheat than their
father, or 1,722 bushels. The father
says he will stand by his bargain and
place the money the wheat sells for
out at interest for the boys.

Laundry work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm

from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiff

Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
