BROOM THAT HOLDS THE DUST
Clever Arrangement by Which OIL Is
Distributed to the Straw
Fibers.

A new broom, which is said to be
dustless, has a hollow handle designed
to be filled with kerosene, and the oil
saturating the broom corn has the ef-
feet of making the dust particles ad-
here to it, instead of floating through
space. The receptacle is filled from
the top, and light floor oil may be sub
stituted for coal oil where the latter
may be found preferable. The handle
is light steel tube with tight cap
on the top end and the oil is fed down

Laundering Mohair.

You can launder shepherds plaid
mohair, If you like, and without
hurting it in the least. There are only
two little tricks of the trade to be
mastered. The first lies in the quality
of the soap and the second in the
heating Of the iron. Get some white
soap of a good quality it containing
borax, which is cleansing and which
adds crispness to woolen materials,
and it will not fade the colors.
When ironing mohair an even heat
is required; hot irons, while they may
not appear to scorch the fabric, will
rot it, so that it will split or crack
on the first wearing.

Caring FOR THE
SUPERANNUATED
Will be important Question Before
Baptists At Winona
This Week.
Special to the Netos.

Special to the Netcs.
JACKSON, Nov. Sat the annual
meeting of the Mississippi Baptist con-
vention, to be held at Winona during
this week the question of caring for
superannuated preachers will be one
of the most important brought up for
disposal.
A plan will be submitted to the con-
vention by Dr. ]. L. Johnson, one of
the ablest members of the Baptist
clergy in this state, in which he pro-
poses to first raise a fund for the care
of aged ministers, and allow them to
make their homes wherever they see
fit, instead of establishing home for
their sustenance; that superintend-
ent be appointed to see that they are
being property cared for, keeping in
close touch by correspondence and
otherwise, with each preacher on the
superannuated list; that this superin-
tendent visit each preacher at least
twice per year, and make careful in
|quiry concerning him and submit an
annual report to the state convention
showing all collections and disburse-
ments.
This plan seems to meet with gener-
al approval, and will doubtless be
adopted, with some slight modifica-
tionS.

THE EGYPTIAN COTTON
Crop on 1000 Acres Doing Ex.
cepfionally Well

Joseph r. LOTUS. who has become
deeply interested in cotton growing in
Imperial valley, and who believes that
experiments which have been made
during the last five years point to a
new industry of large proportions for
California, is at the Fairmont. where
he will remain for several days.
The cotton industry in Imperial val
ley promises to be a huge success.
said Lotus The government expert
ments in cotton culture were begun
five years ago. and this year there are
1000 acres of cotton under cultivation
in the valley. Good progress has been
made and the crops are doing excep-
tionaily we'll. 1t is the first time that
Egyptian cotton has ever been raised
successfully in America The Egyptian
cotton is worth about $10o a bale
while the short cotton raised through
out the south Is worth about $50"
Lotus estimates the capacity OF the
cotton land in the Imperial valley at
15o.00e bales a year. and believes that
the new industry will be of direct COM
mercial benefit to San Francisco.
