WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED

N OW that the German-American
" Savings bank has subscribed for
l. a block of 100000 of the Los An
geles aqueduct bonds only a compare
lively small part of the first offered
issue of $4,000 remains on hand. An
nouncement of the absorption at home
of the first issue will inspire confidence
in future issues and will make them
readily marketable anywhere. With
the most vitally important financial in
terest of the city in such healthy shape,
it is surely fair to suppose that in
short time, indeed as soon as the neces-
sary preliminary arrangements can be
completed, actual work on the aque-
duct will open up a steady market for
much of the local labor that is at pres
ent unemployed. Public sentiment is
dead against using cheap foreign
labor on any portion of this work.
Make it an American aqueduct built
by Americans for Americans. White
men have provided the sinews of war
by taking up the bond issues. Now let
all who are interested in the welfare Of
the work and responsible for it give
the American workingman chance.

The news that James r. Keene, the
turfman, won a million dollars at the
game OF horseracing will not enthuse
people who reflect that in order to per-
nit Mr.. Keene to make this record.
his fellow citizens had to lose the mill
lion that Keene won. This is more or
less true of other fortunes. especially
those that are acquired by sheer specu-
lation and not by Industrial enterprise
or by manufacturing. That many nom
producers are among Americas rich
men is an indisputable fact, and one
that win puzzle economists of the fu-
ture when they come to analyze the

solve composite results into their orr

a Plato Heater.

For use in the buffers pantry to keer
dishes and food hot a very convenient
little heater has been designed on the
order of those seen in hotel restau
rants. The only difference is in the
size, the family heater being consider
ably smaller, just large enough to hold
a couple of plates or a small platter
The heater is made to attach to either
the gas jet or an electric wire, and Il
ear be regulated to any temperature
desired. For breakfast this will be
found a great help in serving crisp, hoi
toast or in maintaining the high tenn
perature of coffee and water. No vel
equipped dining room or serving pan
try is complete without at least mi OF
these heaters, and in large houses sew
eral are installed to facilitate the serv
ing of large dinners and luncheons.

Refrigerator DRAIN.
The Operation of Emptying 1t Cannot
Be Attended by Disaster.

The blessings which come to us
and science are never unmixed with
their penalties. Take the refrigerator,
for instance. 1t is a comfort and a
convenience which has taken such a
deep rooted hold on us that it is now a
necessity, and, no matter how humble
1t may be, there is no home without a
refrigerator. But a nuisances attend
ing 1t is the matter of emptJing the
drip pan, which must he done at regr-
lar intervals, and because of the neces-
sarily fat shape of this receptacle SO
chest the task of disposins of the accu-
mutation of water is more often than
not attended by some spilling. No mat
ter what amount of care is exercised, 1t
seems almost impossible to pull the
pan from under the chest without ac-
cident.
In some of the most up to date hard
ware and house furnishing stores there
Is now being shown an article of this
character which greatly facilitates the
removal of the pan. The latter may
be filed almost to the point of over
flowing, yet it can be pulled out with
out giving the matter the least care
and carried anywhere without the least
danger of disaster. 1t is almost impos-
sible to upset its contents. Care In
handling Is not at all essential. Clad in
her finest dress, a woman can dispose
of the refrigerator overflow without
danger.
The new refrigerator pan looks like a
kettledrum more than anything else.
1t Is a low, fiat cylinder. Unlike the
usual pan for his purpose, it has a Gov
cred top. Being more or less familiar
with the approximate location of the
drip pipe, the new pan is thrust care.

The following winter schedule is in

Holy Trinity Lutheran COngre-
cation Calls a Pastor

Holy Trinity Lutheran congregation
at a meeting held Friday evening, De-
cember 18th, extended a unanimous
call to the Rev. l.. G. Dolly, of Living
stone, Montana. Mr.. Dolly is a grad
uate of Muhlenburg College, Allen
town, Pa, and of the Lutheran Theo-
logical Seminary, at Mt. Airy, Phila-
delphia.
Rev. Dolly came here Sunday, De-
cember 9th, to supply this congregation
and by his able ermon he made such
an impression on them that they at
once decided to extend him q call
which was done as above stated. Mr..
Dolly is a very eloquent and able
speaker and with his pleasing manner
and experience in the mission work
we bespeak for him and Holy Trinity
a very prosperous future. He will
preach next Sunday, both morning and
evening. His pastorate will begin jan
uary 1st, 1909. All are invited to come,
hear and meet him.
The Sunday school will hold It's

BRUSHING a Dress.

In brushing a garment that holds
lint and dust place it upon the ironing
board and sweep 1t with the whisi
broom, always in the direction of the
weave, which should be from the band
to the hem. Even this process viii
not always insure a perfectly clean
skirt, for the broom and brush scat
ter dust particles, but you will meet
with good results by going lightly over
the goods with a dry sponge. This
sponge will take up all places of lint
1t a be used to brush the collar and
cuffs of q coat and is very convenient
for busting dandruff from a mans
coat collar.

water is conducted into the interior Of
the receptacle by means of a series of
channels which carry the drippings to
an inlet at one edge. AT this point on
the circular side walls of the can there
is also Il handle by which it is pulled
from its resting place and carried to
the point of emptying. Under the han
die there are also other openings to ia
cilitate the precipitating of the con
tents, but in order that it may not
overflow at this point they are covered
with a hood of the same metal OF
which the pan Is made. In transport.
ing this receptacle from point to point,
as is necessary, it is carried by the
handle in precisely the same manner
as a gripsack. This enables the pan
to be made larger than those of the
type in use at present because of Its
greater convenience, it being possible
to carry a greater burden in this way
Any woman will recognize the conven-
fence Of this innovation and will won.

Good, form in stationery has always
been considered a mark of a woman's
refinement. Nevertheless the styles
change in that accessory, and the lat

Neutral tints are permissible, and usu-
ally one, such as gray. is more in vogue
than any other. Blue is popular, but
1t Is an indeterminate kind. Plain
white is seldom seen. merely as a mat

seldom has a chorus of children ever
done finer work on the beach and the
production of this cantata reflects great
credit on the instructor and there is
strong talk of having it repeated.

Holly Beach Board of Trade

The Holly Beach Board of Trade,
which was formerly an important fac
tor in the activities in that thriving
borough, and which has been allowed
to sink into oblivion through lack of
interest IN the part of the members, is
now to be revived by a number of the
progressive business men of that sec
ton of the island. A preliminary
meeting was held on Wednesday eve
ming last, and arrangements were made
whereby another and very important
meeting will be held in the zeal future,
when strenuous efforts will be made to
get the Board back into the position it
formerly occupied. The men that are
~endeavoring to revive interest in the
Holly Beach Board of Trade are de-
termined upon making a success of
their efforts, and there is no doubt but
that the good work of the Board will
have a very great influence upon the
future advancement of this thriving
and prosperous resort.

Best Method of Spraying.

A. S. Martin of Portland recent
| ly addressed a number of Boise fruit
raisers, taking for his subject
SPRAYING. Mr.. Martin spent a
great amount OF time speaking oil
the San Jose scale, the dread of all
fruit raisers. Most raisers. he said
sprayed their trees but they did not
use the right solution and did not
spray in the correct manner. He
said the average fruit raiser waited
until the last minute before he
thought of spraying. Then it must
all be done in hurry, and in the
rush the trees are greatly neglected.
Many used the home made solutions
for spraying and were careless in
measuring and mixing the ingre-
dents. The spray. he said, must
in all cases. to have the desired
effect, be thrown against the tree
with force of $50 o1nds. Then he
exrlIi-ed every crack and crevice
on the tree is reached with the
spray and the germ exterminated.
Mr.. Martin said it is fact that the
majority of the fruit growers in the
country do not know the scale when
they see it OH their trees. After
the birth of the San Jose scale it is
a little light speck, but secretion
begins almost Immediately and the |
scale soon forms itself into fine,
waxey film and skin. The time
when it is considered contagious or
scatters from one tree to another.
and from one orchard to another, is
soon after it is born and never after
It becomes connected with the tree
with its little beak. The speaker
quoted statistics that stated that
he female scale an her descendants
would i'll one season produce over
hree billions of its kind.
