BECAUSE CENSUS WAS NOT TAKEN
FRANKLIN COUNTY Is NOW so
THickLY SETTLED IT NEEDS
REPRESENTATION.

No extra senator for Walla Walla
county until after 1910, is the essence
of a commune alton received by the
Commercial club from Senator Hut
son.
The senator explains that it will be
impossible to make a reappointment
of the state until after the next gov
eminent census is taken.
1t was planned at one time. for the
state to take a census every 10 years
on the years ending with figure
five. This was omitted in 1905 for
some reason and as the present APP
pOrtionment. which allows one sem
atOr to the old district. has been made
since the government census of 1900,
it is probable that things will have to
stand as they are until the people are
counted again.
The communication from Senator
Hutson was in reply to request from
the Commercial club made at a for
mer meeting that the Walla Walla
delegation would give this county two
senators of it's own.
At the time the former division was
made Franklin county was sparsely
settled but now has so large num-
Der of inhabitants that it is entitled
to senator Of it's own
The action of the Commercial club
was taken for this reason and to Sc
cure to this county an extra senator

HOME CLUBS.

Farming Associations, Such ~ Sing
ing Societies and Reading Clubs.
One day Ernest ChebrOux, a man
who cared for other people than just
himself, was going through great
French factory in which hundreds Of
girls were employed. He overheard
numbers of them humming snatches OF
little songs to themselves while they
worked. An inspiration came to NJ.
Chebroux. Why could not the factory
girls of France be organized into
singing societies, develop their voices
and learn the best music? He started
movement in that direction. Now
there are choral unions Of factory girls
in many parts of France, and tho
music they make is worth going far to
hear.
Why do not American girls in cOun-
try neighborhOods start such singing
classes among themselves? Once freed
from it's nosines and thrOatines there
u no nobler singing voice anywhere
than the American. There is scarcely
an American girl. either, that cannot
learn to sing we'll if she sets her head
to it. In every neighborhood Is some
woman who can play piano accOmpani'
ments and some one who can act as
leader, keeping time and showing the
class how to open the mouth and emit
the sound clearly at the tip Of the
tongue and lips. Two hours practice
once a week would in time develop
good singers. Good music has mar
velously unlifting power. From sim
pie ballads the singers would naturally
be led to more classical music. Every
country neighbOrhoOd contains many
good singers.

USING STARCH.
The Proper Degree of Stiffness Fol
Different Materials.

The Proper Degree of Stiffness Fer
Different Materials.
Starch is used in laundry work TO;
st.fening muslin, lace, linen and cot
ton materials. 1t Improves the ap-
pearance of clothes and also enables
them to resist the action of dust, and
they in consequence keep clean longer
than when they are quite limp. The
degree of stiffness necessary enables
the iaundress to decide as to which is
the better starch to use, hot or cold
water starch.
AS rule. it is better to use hot wa
ter starch for muslins, laces, prints,
table linen and cotton underwear. It
not only makes the clothes less stiff
1t makes them look clearer than when
cold water starch is used Except in
the case OF muslins and print dresses
this starch is seldom used in it's full
strength. but it is diluted to a degree
varying according to the quality OF
material to be starched and also to the
stiffness required. Usually thin ma
terial requires thicker starch than
one of thicker make.
The following may be considered
average proportions of hot water
starch to be used for different kinds of
material:
Muslins. print 'blouses and skirts.
white or colored underskirts. babies
robes and Dutch bOnnets are, as a
rule, stiffened in full strength starch.
It is better to starch only the lower
two-thirds of underskirts. leaving the
upper part soft to cling to the figure.
Babies dresses should always have
the bodices less stiff than the skirts.
For print pinafOres. aprons. muslin
handkerchiefs and common laces equal
parts of starch and water give very
good stiffness.
The starch for table linen and pillow
slips if diluted to one fourth of its
strength gives the necessary degree Of
stiffness.
Frills of pillow slips are usually
starched in thicker starch. Underwear.
unless wished specially stiff. is done
in starch reduced to about One-fifth of
it's strength.

The Left Hand,

1t is strange that so strong preju-
dice against the left hand has lived and
increased for centuries when there Is
no natural or physiological reason for
it. Examination Of the skeleton Of a
person who was strong, healthy and
well formed in life shows that the
bones of the left hand and arm are just
as large and capable as those of the
right The study of physiology shows,
too, that the muscles and llgaments
and cartilages that fastened that per-
sons arms to his body and gave them
the power of motion were made to do
their work just as well on one side Of
the body as on the other. If the left
side was the weaker, it was because Of
the failure to exercise 1t as freely as
the other-Scrap Book.

Indians and War Paint.

The Indians have a tradition that
tells how the custom Of painting their
faces originated. A certain big chief
while hunting deer was chased by
lion and fell exhausted, calling upon
the Big Bear, which Indians believe
was the grandfather Of man, to save
him. The Big Bear heard and went to
the mans assistance, scratching his
foot and sprinkling the blood over him.
No animal will eat bear or taste his
blood, and when the lion smelled 1t he
turned away. But in doing so he
scratched some of the blood off the In
dams face with his claw by accident.
When he found himself unhurt, the
Indian was so thankful that he let
the blood dry on his face. With the
marks of the lions claws this gave the
effect of stripes, and ever afterward
when goiIfg on hunting expeditions for
man or beast the Indian painted his
face in stripes as a charm against
danger.
