A bad accident happened at the ball
game last Friday. Cliff Hall was walk
ing out into the diamond when the ball
was thrown toward the pitcher and
struck Clifford on the lower jaw,
breaking it square off in the chin. This
is one Of the worst fractures imagin-
able. The jaws must be set firmly
together SO that the upper and lower
teeth will act together when the jaw
grows together. He is standing the
ordeal as well as could be expected.

ABOUT THAT LIBRARY,

We neglected to call our
readers attention to the articles
on the library question in the
HUSTLER of the 2nd. One of the
articles was in answer to certain
questions which had been asked,
and the other was taken from a
school paper and was an editorial
against free libraries in general.
Personally, from what study we
have. made of the question, we are
very strongly in favor of the
proposition ofthe library. How
ever, in justice to others who
have a contrary opinion We pub
Iished the editorial referred to
above. as they have a right to the
expression Of their views.
We sincerely trust that the dis
eussiOn of this library question
will not lead to the bitter feelings
engendered by the school PROPOSE
ton two years ago, the wounds Of
which have not yet been healed.
Let us look at the question from
its various phases, what it may or
may not accomplish, and not SO
much as to what it may or may
not cost Us individually. Great
Bend as city is entitled to some
OF the things which by other cities
are considered good things, and
when We have an opportunity,
why not get them. Let us
broaden out and make Great Bend
a better place to live in by 'eE.'
tending facilities for the home
seeker, for his enjoyment, and
the betterment of his conditions.
All around US other cities are
building libraries and similar IN.
stitutions and building up. Please
Mr.. Voter, can't we advance a
little ourseles. We think it would
be an advancement to have this
library, don't youl

To secure clear Ice stir the water
vigorously for a while before allow
Ing to freezes to cause the air to

barn and protect 1t with a good layer
Of straw or hay. Provide for drainage

NEEDLEWoRK OF LONG AGO

designs and coIcrs the same-cross
sStitch Growing in Popularity-coI-
ored Embroidery on White Linen
Much Used.

Soldfashioned needlework has taken
complete possession of the most mod.
ern OF up-to-date work baskets, and
every week or two one sees some one
OF the kinds Of handwork that we're in
fashion many years ago being revived.
Gross stitch is growing in popularity,
ana very beautiful floral pieces are
now being made for cushions, table
covers. etc. The designs are quite
those that were used when the work
was popular many years ago, and the
coiors used are the dull, deep pinks,
dark garnets and shaded green's which
go 80 we'll with the stiff bouquets and
garlandS of the patterns. One wonders
that some one does not invent an en-
tirely new kind Of designing for this
work. not because the old patterns are
not satisfactory but because nowadays
we are always crying for new things.
AS yet, however, the cross stitch work.
ers seem to be perfectly satisfied with
the old pattern. Their aim is not to
make a departure into new designs,
Q but to find some particularly quaint
Old ones to copy-sOmething which
none of their acquaintances has come
across.
G Colored embroidery on white linen
Is much used for pin cushions. The
designs that are in fashion at the mo-
ment are scattered and rather slight
and dainty. The most attractive work.
and also the most difficult, is that
(which includes open-w0rk embroidery
in white thread and the coIored EN-.
broidery in the same design. For in
stance, a pin cushion was noticed dec
GRATED with corner designs, including
scattered blossoms and butterflies.
THE butterflies were of open-work en-
broidery done in white, supplemented
around the wings with embroidery in
vartcolOred linen thread. The tiny
blossoms were in different colored
linen threads.
The mingling Of applique work with
fancy stitching is seen on the new
fancy work which is to be used on use
full articles for bedrooms and dining
rooms. For instance, a laundry bag
made of cotton etamine and lined with
] yellow sateen had a decoration around
the bottom of chintz applique in vel.
low and green. The design was of tall
yellow peoples with. green leaves, and
the applique was so put on that the
flowers stood up all around the bottom
of the bag. The foliage, of course, was
. around the bottom edge of the bag,
while the flowers came half way to the
top.
Knitting, Afghan shawis, etc., Of
zephyr and Germantown wool on two
needles is also highly popular Indus
Try among the fair sex.

Foot Rot Of Sheep.

In a discussion before the board
Of agriculture of Great Britain the
matter Of foot rot In sheep received
considerable attention. Some of the
members had used copper sulphate at
the rate Of one pound to a gallon of
water. II the sulphste is to be used
merely to prevent the disease and not
where 1t actually exists, a much
weaker solution could be used, In the
opinion Of the experimenters. The
copper sulphate used was in the pow.
'dered form and was purchased under
q guaranty Of SO per cent. purity. The
way Of using the solution was very
simple, the sheep being merely driven
through the bath. When a sheep was
found to be badly affected its hoofs
we're pared before the animal was
driven into the bath. This appears to
be q very easy way Of combating the
disease.

Caring for oilcloth.

The careful housewife avoids the
use of either soap or ammonia in the
water with which her oilcloth is
cleaned. She knows that their use will
tnjure the material and render the col
ors dull and lifeless. She also avoids
q brush unless she owns a very soft
one, and relies upon clear. clean water
and soft flannel cloths for her clean
ing work.
When the oileloth has been washed
clean, she Tubs 1t dry with a fresh dry
flannel cloth and then polishes the en-
tire surface with a rag upon which
there is very little linseed oil, or
some skinned milk. The milk does
very. satisfactory work. but should be
avoided in summer time, as 1t will
hring flies.
Some housekeepers think that oil
cloth keeps its freshness and gives far
better service If treated to coat Of
Varnish when It Is first put down.

flowers appear upon the sides OF the
branches. They each have four long
slender petals, four short stamens and
a twocelled ovary. The fruit is a

The seed ripens in the fall, following

GOOD PAINT AS AN ASSET.
Farm Buildings Should Be Kept Well
Protected to Prevent Loss.

Among all the routine expenses Of
the property owner there is none that
yields more satisfactory returns than
good paint. In this respect it is like
IRE insurance, but with a difference.
Fire is accidental and when an in.
sured building burns, the insurance
company pays a good proportion of
the cost of rebuilding. But when a
building suffers for the lack of paint
as 1t must suffer If painting is neg
lected-the owner bears the entire
loss. 1t is the height OF improvidence,
therefore, to allow a property to de-
terlorate for the lack of a coat of good
paint in season; for paint is not only
a form of insurance that pays its own
premiums, but In the selling value it
adds to building, 1t issan actual cash
asset.
The best time to paint is in the
spring or the fall, when the weather
is settled. and paint applied at the
proper time will wear better and pro-
tect better than if applied at an I'm.
favorable season.
For ordinary use there is nothing
superior to the better grades of ready
mixed paints put on the market by
responsible manufacturers. They can
be bought anywhere in convenient
quantities, and Of any desired tint or
shade, from local dealers. A little in.
quiry regarding the local record of
any such paint offered for sale will
usually enable the consumer to Judge
of its quality.
So much for the selection of the
paint; its application should be left to
a good painter, who will get better
results, with less material, from any
form Of paint than the unskilled
noTice can obtain.

FEEDING Oil Meal IA Cattle

The longer you feed oil meal the
higher the finish, but you can see
the effects Of it in 60 days. The ques-
ton was raised whether il oil meal is
to be fed just 60 days it should be
fed the first so days or the last 60
days Of the feeding period. H. W.
Mumford says: 81 don't know" He
said that most persons would answer
the last 60 days. that being the CON-
mon practice. But he has seen such
q difference In the way cattle start on
feed. 1t takes q great deal longer to
get cattle started to gain on corn and
clover hay than where oil meal Is fed
at first; with oil meal they start right
of. The corn and clover cattle make
their large gains along toward the
last. He would like to see the matter
tested scientifically. The oil meal will
show in the finish of the cattle IL 1t
is fed at the beginning and not at the
close Of the feeding period.
