and white curtains at the windows one
can have a kitchen and pantry color
scheme with very little trouble and
charming effect.
Every pantry except perhaps the one
reserved for fruit should be provided
with window. Certainly the one in
which the refrigerator stands should
have this fresh air and light. A ground
glass window makes a curtain unnec-
essary. yet it partially subdues the
light, so that even though it does en-
tail extra work the neat muslin sash
or straight curtain will be found more
satisfactory in the majority of cases.
pot and pan closet is never inter-
esting, but it is useful and should be
placed conveniently near the range.
The modern housewife is as particular
about the condition of her cooking
utensils as she is of any of her dishes,
so even though they are clumsy to
look at and may not always be bright,
the pots and pans are scrupulously
clean. Anything that can be hung up
should have its place on a hook in the
pot closet or on the board strip that
runs around the walls of the model
kitchen and has places for this very
purpose. Each utensil should have its
own hook and should not be shifted
from one to another 1t makes the
kitchen work easier if this rule is fol-
lowed.
The modern and complete refrigera-
tor is made of tiling or glazed porce-
lain, with the interior divided YER
tically in half and shelves arranged in
each compartment. These shelves are
adjustable and are made of polished
metal.
The interiors of the compartments
are built with convex corners, making
the cleaning much easier than if they
were square, as in the old fashioned

COUNTRY MERCHANTS MUST BE MAIN
TANNED.

Up-to-date farming stands for the prosper
ity of all rural interests, hence we are glad
to hear the President of the United States say
in his message to Congress- II believe it is
good policy for our Government to do every
thing possible to aid the small town and the
country district; it is desirable that the coun-
try merchant should not be crushed out
We have often said that the prosperity Of
the farmer and the prosperity Of the country
merchant are so closely interviewer that neither
can suffer without the other feeling a
reflex effect thereof, and we have always re-
GREETED the antagonism that sometimes in
trudes itself between country merchants and
farm organizations. In the first place, the
country merchant should apply to his trade
and prices the principles Of equity, and then
the farmer should feel in bounden duty to
support the country merchant. Any prosper
Gus agricultural community ought to be dot
ted here and there with thriving towns and
villages, whose business is done by prosper
GUS merchants, and such towns and villages
should be beacon lights pointing to still great
err prosperity for the surrounding country. The
solid farm organization that will accomplish
most for farmers will be friendly to and sup
port all the local interests rather than inter
ests that center in distant cities.-Farmers'

CUT THE SPINNERS OUT.

When the Farmers Union was first organ
lied the writer contended then, as now, that
the union would make very slow Roadway by
holding conferences with the Crosses" (the
spinners). The spinners have no common in
terests with the farmers, no more than the
Manufacturers Association has with the La
borers. Labor has tried the plan Of contract
ing with capital for over so years, to gnd that
it is failure in attaining final results, but
is now looking to the system Of labor con-
tracing with labor, and let capital shift for
itself.
The farmers can get more results in 80
minutes in conference with the Textile Weav-
ers' Union-looking toward an agreement
whereby the Weavers Union will not handle
a bale of cotton unless it has the Farmers
Union label. Then bale of cotton without
the label would be worthless. The label would
be insured by your union, then every raiser
of cotton would be in the union. Then your
price would be realized, and not till then.
This system would work with every product
of the farm. While we regret the loss Of even
day in securing results yet we are glad to
know the farmer has learned so soon that these
"spinner deals are Of no avail We note the
wall Of every Farmers Union paper which
looked to these same spinners for relief, but
are now double crossing the farmers Let the
next conference be with the "weavers. - Cut
the spinners out.-Oklahoma Union Messen-
