Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much Of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the

Consider the mental agility it takes
to keep up with ones waist line. One
goes to bed at night in the sweet-assur-
ance that it will be under the arms for
the next two or three months at any
rate, and awakes to learn from the
headlines in the morning papers that
waist line is positively at the knees.
There is absolutely no use in prognos-
ticating anything about it any longer.
That the waist line occurred at the
waist was an axiom accepted as un-
questionably as that the earth revolves
on it's axis, but in these days of higher
criticism is likely to be anywhere. 1t

OFFICIAL HUSTLERS.
Wonderful Growth of Business in
County Offices.

County Offices.
The Recorder editor visited the Of
fee of County Clerk and Recorder
Anderson, at Shoshone, recently,
where he was entertained to the
very best ability of the courteous
and powerfully busy employees of
that place. 1t has become necessary
to revolutionize the methods of work
in the Office, because of the enor-
nous growth of business. The vol
ume of business practically doubled
from 1906 to 1907; it just about
doubled in 1908 over the work of
1907; and it promises to double
once more this year, over last year
This means seven to eight times as
much work being done in the Office
this year, as was done three years
ago. The county officers, in most of
the Offices, used to have SO much
time on their hands that they be-
came expert fishermen, or develop
ed chronic indisposition to work
at that or anything else. But it
isn't so now. The court house is
filled with officers who are crowded
to the lmit-and they are doing their
work well. The Auditor and Recor-
der's Office is one of the busiest, and
the large force of employees are tax
ed to their utmost to keep ahead
of their work. Mr.. Anderson has
systematized his work so that his Of
fee is recognized as one of the best
of its kind in the state, if not in the
entire West. There is no county or
other public employee who takes a
greater pride in keeping up with his
work, or who will work harded to
keep it up.
Sheriff Wheeler, also, among the
others who have made conspicuous
record, is living about as strenuous
a life as one could wish-a whole
lot more strenuous than most men
would wish to live. He and his eff
icient deputy, Tug, have made more

PET DOG BITES OFF
YOUNG WOMAN'S LEFT
HAND INDEX FINGER
Victim of Animals Foreclosures Says
Animal Did 1t in Spirit of
Play-No Serious Re-
suits Feared

"Oh, please, doctor, put my finger back
on!' exclaimed Ethel Morton of 116 South
Flower street, holding the severed member
against the bleeding stump of finger from
which her pet dog had just nipped off the
end.
Ethel Morton, % years old, was playing with
her pet dog at her home yesterday after
noon. when the dog bit at her glove and
snapped off the index finger of the left hand
at the first joint
She Immediately seized the severed portion
OF the finger, and holding it i'll place with
her right hand was taken to the receiving
hospital. She pleaded with the physicians to
sew the finger back on, but it was impossible.
The stump of the finger was dressed and Miss
Morton was removed to her home last even
ing.
Miss Morton says the dog, arfox terrier, IS
not vicious animal, and was in the spirit
OF play when he bit her. The physician claims
that there is no danger Of blood poisoning If
the wounded finger is properly cared for, but
of course the young woman's hand will be
marred permanently the result of the ac-
cident.
Miss Morton is accomplished violnist
and the loss of her left index finger seriously
Will interfere with the continuation of her
career as musician. 1t is this fact more
than any other consideration that causes her
such distress of mind.

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. Nan at
tempt is to be made to abolish the sa-

being planned to take a referendum

The matter has been taken up by the
Ministerial association and resolutions

been named to take charge of the work

This will inject new element into
the spring campaign and the result will
be hard to forecast. The anti-saloon
element is confident that no-saloon
campaign can be carried, having can
vassed the situation very closely for
the past year. 1t is admitted on every

SAYS LACK OF BABIES
CAUSE OF FARM TROUBLE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The lack OF
babies is the cause of the scarcity of
help on farms is the opinion of ]. c.
Specs of Lewis county, who recently
sent the following answers to the ques-
tions of President Roosevelt's farm
commission:
In answer to the question: rs the
supply of farm labor in your neighbor-
hood satisfactory?' he says, mo. Be
cause the people have gone out of the
baby business"
To the query, What suggestion have
you to make?" he says: Give a pen
sion to every mother who gives birth to
seven living boys on American SOIL
Other questions and answers are as
follows:
Question-Are farmers and their
wives satisfactorily organized to pro-
mote their mutual buying and selling
interests?
Answer-No; there is a little one
horsed grange gang here and every one
Of them thinks he ought to be a king
Q.-Are the schools training boys and
girls satisfactorily for life on the farm ?

their heads that city life is better.

tant thing to be done for the better
ment OF farm life generally?
A.-Good roads. Good roads. BY TAX
ing those large navy appropriations and

Q.-Are conditions surrounding hired
labor on the farms satisfactory to the
hired man?

EDISON COMPANY TO
FIGHT TO BITTER END
Cuts Rates on Electricity to Keep
Patrons from Disconnecting and
Taking "Juice" from Mu=
nicipaI Plant

PASADENA, Feb. 12.-It is a fight to the
finish now between the Edison company and the
municipal electric light plant. Already the
Edison people, in their desire to hold the pat
ronage already secured, practically giving
away electricity.
One instance was quoted today wherein the
corporation had, to keep patron from tarnsfer-
ring to the municipal power given the owner
of a three-story store a fiat rate of $3.50 a
month whereas the meter bill had previously
run from $40 to S12 for the same length of time.
IF get supplies without inter-
ference" declared Manager KOiner of the
municipal plant, today, I'VE will be in posi-
tion by fall to handle all the trade of the city,
This is what the Edison people fear, and to
meet, and if possible, defeat the city plant,
they are cutting rates right and left.
Still the city is selling power at cents a
kiowatt hour, AZ cents less than the lowest
meter price Of the Edison people, and Manager
Koiner says he can, with the increased equip
ment which the bond issue will enable him to
INSTALL cut this figure by at least 2 cents and
still make a profit for the city on the invest
ment.
Rush orders have been sent out for new gene
rators to meet the boiler capacity of the plant
and these additional generators will be in
stalled Immediately upon their arrival.
