Care of Gloves
White gloves may be cleaned in the
following manner: Lay them on clean
table, and rub into them mixture or
finely powdered fuller's earth and alum.
In equal quantities. Work this well In,
and then brush IL off. Afterward sprinkle
the gloves with dry bran and whiting,
and finally shake and dust them.
Another practical way to clean gloves
Is with benzine or benzine soap. The
combination OF these two is death to dirt.
A small sum will purchase wooden
band, over which the glove is slipped
ready for scrubbing. A securing brush
much like a nail brush In form and stiff
fer as to bristles is dipped into the cleans
ing mixture and the glove is thoroughly
scrubbed. II is hung to dry and the glove
stretchers bring 1t into shape when the
cleaning Is done.

THE HOP CROP.
Everybody Hopping Around the Hop
Yards at Present.

AS the season approaches every
thing around the hop yard assumes
an air of activity and interest, for
the man who invests In this critical
business realizes that should he
neglect any branch of his work at
this time 1t will cut quite a figure
with his bank account.
We speak OF II as critical be-
cause OF the short space of time In
which to reap the harvest, II at
all. He battles with the lice, the
rain, the heat, the picker, the men
who bale, and lastly with the dealer,
and in the event of trouble with any
or either of them, all the money in
vested In plowing, training, trim
ming, etc, may be a complete or
partial loss. II loss II may pile
up like mountain before him and
take years OF toll to recuperate. II a
gain he may, IL he likes, wear a
stand up collar or plug hat.
II takes a man of nerve to be a
successful hop grower, and hence
we would call the attention of our
citizens, who feel like picking, to
lend a helping hand to our own peo-
pie who have had the nerve to enter
this line OF business instead OF go
ing away from home and leaving
them short OF help.
Did you ever think along the line
that the more money we have among
our citizens, In our banks, and In
fact among all classes of our people,
the greater the possibility of your
getting it? Mark a piece OF money
put II in circulation by paying your
honest debts, and see how many
times 1t will return TO you during
the year. Send the same piece OF
money out of the country for the
purchase OF goods that should have
been bought OF your home mer-
chants and we predict II will never
come back to tickle your pocket
book again or make your heart glad
In the happy possession OF 1t.
Our hop men feel good at the pros
poets now. and let us help them TO
continue to do so, for the prospects
of a crop is good. the conditions In
and about the yards are good, and
the price OF hops good, hence the
pickers should be good. and with all
of our pockets full of money ana
our consciences clear, we should all

the production amounted to III, 1,70S
tons. 1t has decreased steadily each
year until the production in 1905
was only 1920 short tons, having a
cash value of s60,710. This is due
in large measure, according to the
report, to the rapid increase in the
production of petroleum in Cali
fornia, which has grown from 4,S24,-
Asa barrels in 1900 to more than
100000 barrels in 1905. The
use Of this petroleum as fuel in
locomotives and in factories in the
state is the true cause of the falling
off of coal mining. The Geological
Survey parties are now engaged In
the investigation of coal fields in
southern Illinois and of the slate
quarries In Central Arkansas.

According to rumor, close friends
Iof Secretary Taft are urging him to
resign from the cabinet next winter
In order to advance his presidential
candidacy. They claim that II he
were not a member of the admins
tration he would be relieved of the
charge of being Mr.. Roosevelt's
legatee. There is a growing num-
ber of Secretary Taft's friends who
believe that his chances are being
severely injured through having his
personality overshadowed by that Of
the president. At the start, many
thought that the Roosevelt 20. X"
was an asset that would bring. to
the secretary's cause the support of
Roosevelt people all over the coun-
try. 1t now appears that instead of
being an aid IL Is a decided draw
back, and in all quarters there is
springing up q sentiment of resent
ment against any attempt of the
president to name his successor.
Secretary Taft has kept his own
counsel in the matter, and II is not
yet known just what action he will
take.
