To Sew with Double Thread

Here is a simple way to straighten
out knots when sewing with double
thread. Cut length of thread from
the spool, double 1t, twist the two
cut ends together and thread them
through the eye Of the needle. Pass
the needle point first through the
loop Of the doubled thread, forming a
tiny knot at the eye of the needle,
This serves to keep the thread
straight and is fat enough to pass
easily through the finest fabric. With
this arrangement one can work button
holes and do any work requiring q
doubled thread with never a knotty
problem.

Is 1t not a mistake on the part Of
farmers to seek to escape trouble Of

on the COW seller to keep up their
herds? The practice of years ago Of
raising all the calves possible to re-.
plenish and increase the herd seems
to be gradually dying out To be sure
1t Is some trouble to raise the calves
yet the farmer should remember that
when buying matured animals, that he
is paying some one for that trouble
and good big profit besides. The
farmer who keeps only a few cows
should raise his heifer calves; and. on
the large stock farms, we must get
back to the system of having a good
crop of calves coming on every spring

LIGHT IN PLACE

Metal Pedestal-oId Trough No

The Ensign drinking fountain on
Seventeenth street is now complete,
the ornamental light having been put

which is one of the most handsome or
naments on the city streets, is attract
ing much attention, and many very
complimentary opinions are expressed
by those who have seen it.
The attractiveness of the fountain,
which in itself is a thing of much
beauty, is greatly enhanced by the adj
dition of the light on top. The city.
in providing for the illumination. did
not, as has been done in most cases, ar
range to have the lamp placed directly
on top of the fountain, but instead pro-
vided a highly ornamental brass brack-
ct on which the lamp is placed The
manner in which the city has erected
and equipped the fountain is regarded
as mark of appreciation of the gift,
and is very gratifying, not only to cit
liens, but to those interested in secur-
ing the fountain for the city.
Other Not Needed.
Now that the new fountain is in
place, the old iron trough on Market
square should be removed. or at least
placed where it will be less in the
way and its unsightliness not so APP
parent The fountain is located in
such a way that horses using it block
ade the path of pedestrians on the
avenue. The trough is hardly needed
in that portion of the city, and its re-
moval would be an Improvement OF
