Laundry work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t Is usually neces-
,ary 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 trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.

FREAK IN SEQUOIA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six
teen Years Severed From
Its Base.

Out in California there is a tree
trunk which has stood for the last 16
years entirely severed from its base,
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is 10 feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun'
ty, California, and was sawn off by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
m;scalculation, when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held it's position,
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and it was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by
the discharge and was therefore use
less for lumber Accordingly, the
work was stopped and the giant has
remained upright, withstanding some
of the severest wind storms that the
state has known, held in its natural
position by it's great weight.

GRAPE GROWERS MEETING
Called for Dec. %, at Lawton. Prom
ises to be Most Important
Meeting Ever Held.

The most important grape growers
meeting ever called is to he held at the
Lawton town hall Wednesday, Dec. 30,
tute held at Lawton, Dec. 1874, the
matter Of better ways of handling the
grape crop was so thoroughly discussed
that mutual friendly feel ng was
aroused between the antagonistic organi-
zatons in operation. The feeling be-
came so mutual that large number of
the leading growers 10 both the larger
organizations held later meeting which
resulted 10 the call OF this great M setting
which is to unite all forces into one
great organization who will handle the
crop along lines it should be handled.
BY the united efforts of all growers into
one organization we will not only relieve
the competition in price between CON-
petlng organizations, but the matter OF
packing can and will be greatly i'm
proved. Every grower fully understands
that every organization now in existence
IS struggling for the good will of every
shipper and for fear of offending, pack
ing is permitted which should not be
sent from this belt. 1t is admitted by
the New York operators that our crop
in the field is superior to theirs. 1t is
claimed by the commission merchants
that no grape produced is equal in flavor
to those grown in eastern Van Buren,
county, Mich. Brother growers, by all
means attend this meeting, put your
shoulder to the wheel and let's have an
organization that does not fear to dis
criminate in packing, that will so SEIZED
ule their grades as to create and main
tain the desire to better cultural meth
DDS That Will compel t h o shiftless
grower to eitherquit growing or improve
his methods by compelling him to mar
ket his crop under the gra lie he delivers.
One that will place an article on the
market the superior of which cannot be
found, then and only then will the grape
grower of this belt reap the proper re-
muneration for his toll. 1t matters not
what organization you now belong to.
BY all means attend this meeting. Boost
the cause along 1t means success to
the greatest grape belt in the greatest
county 10 the best state in the best
country of the world.

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

The fourmasted schooner Margaret G.
Thomas, Capt. Delano. is on her way to
Port Tampa, Fla, from Rio Janeiro, to
load phosphate rock for Alexandria or
Baltimore.
The schooner has just completed trip
TO Rio that has been taken every year
for several years past by Capt. Delano
with Ice and Christmas goods aboard.
The Thomas was at this port during the
latter part of last summer with cargo
of ice from the Maine ice fields. From this
city the vessel went to Baltimore and
loaded coal for Boston.
After unloading at Boston she took on
ice and an assortment of Christmas goods
and sailed for Rio. That city was reached
in good time and Capt Delano disposed
of his cargo as he had planned.
1t is supposed that since that time the
Thomas has been trading between South
American ports. 1t was not until Febru-
ary 5 that Capt. Delano turned the prov
of his vessel northward after having spent
practically the entire winter in the tropics.
AS the tug George w. Pride was on
her way up river yesterday afternoon
with string OF sanu-iaden llsnters OF tne
Potomac Dredging Company strung out
behind, the machinery of the tug when
about half way between this city and
Alexandria became disabled in such d
manner as to render her helpless.
The little tug Bartholdi. running on
a route between this city. the steel plant
and Alexandria, passed the tug soon after
she was crippled On the BarthOldfs ar
rival at this city the tug James o. Carter
was sent to the assistance of the disabled
boat and last night brought the Pride
and her tow into port.
The damage will be repaired at once and
the tug made ready to go into service
again as soon as possible.
The high water of Wednesday was fol-
lowed yesterday by the opposite extreme.
Yesterday the water in the river was as
low relatively as it had been high the
day before.
II is estimated along the river front
that there was difference of about seven
feet between the water level at the high
est point Of the tide Wednesday and the
lowest point yesterday The low water
was caused by the heavy northwest wind
which had been blowing for over twenty
four hours, and as soon as it loses it's
force the water will return to its normal
level.
Arrived-Tug Camilla with tow of
lumber laden vessels from a down-river
