With a smooth IRON and Defiance

waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can; it will have the

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1907-05-25

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 fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a 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 tbinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.

that time he and his helpers were engineering
the way through a monstrous chasm where a
mountain stream came down among great boulders
to the open plain, and then flowed peacefully
enough through the young and promising farms
of settlers.
1T was a daring thing to do, even to make
the survey for this road, after it entered the
mountains. Especially at such places as that.

wallace Barclay had been a well-to-do farmer
at home, but had served through the war in the
Confederate army. Afterward, with the remnant
of his fortune he had secured a farm in this

Lucie, now nineteen, was fairly prosperous and
happy again.
Being yet a hale and strong man, Barclay, de-

two educated, white, American men OF de-

one. His hair that was as thick and white as wool
on a sleeps back, was short and bristling. He

the aggregate name he had for a somewhat nu-

handsome, sedate, busy, energetic, wealthy, but a
magazine writer, because he liked that sort of
work, and could do 1t we'll.
These two were devoted friends.
At the same table they had finished their work
