Carr Of Rrnnnna.

With the increased cost Of brooms,
the thrifty housewife wishes to pre-
serve their usefulness as long as pos
sible. Soak a new broom for several
minutes in hot suds; this not only
toughens but tightens the broom
whisps. Then hang 1t up to dry. A
broom, when not in use, should always
be hung up. Cut a groove around the
handle and tie a cord around It, leav.
ing loop for hanging, or use one Of
the patent fasteners which screw to
a door. These may be bought for a
few cents. The soaking process should
be repeated every fortnight.
Another housewife washes her
boroms in cold soap water, rinses
thoroughly In cold water, snaps OF all
moisture possible and pressing the
corns into shape places where they
will dry slowly. All mating will also
last longer when occasionally wiped
up with salt and water.

distance Of store buy only enough
cheese for immediate use, any loss II

II living in the country, It is neces-
sary to keep choose on hand; though
large supplies should not be laid In.
Cream and soft cheese in jars or tin
foil should be kept In the refrigerator
until just before using. As the odor Of
the cheese quickly taints other foods
It should be kept in a tightly covered
glass or china bowl or Jar. A large
preserving Jar with screw lid will hold
several smaller Jars Of cheese.

Impress this upon maids, as some Of
them scrape It from the edges and
serve the rest Of the cheese In balls

Labor Day Celebration.
Pollock, La, Aug. IL, 1910.

Editor COJdr Chronicle:
Grant parish has sprung what
seems to be something new for us,
to-wit, a celebration in honor of
Labor Day, which is the only holt
day ever set apart by special act OF
Congress. Some citizens of Grant
advanced the idea, and a mass
meeting was called at Pollock and
the move set on foot. An associa-
ton has been formed with Mr..
j. w. Crawford president. Com
mlttees have been appointed with
a view to get the whole parish in
terested. There are many day-la-
borers in Grant, but the main in
dustry being farming the associa-
ton thought proper to give the
farmers the foremost place in the
celebration. The association hopes
to have the cooperation of every
laboring and business man in the
pa ish. The old saying, Money
makes the mare co." holds good in
labor day celebrations as well as
other matters. It's therefore nec-
e-sary for all to come to the front
and work together for the common
good. l learn that some of our
citizens are under the impression
that this celebration is to boom
Pollock, and is gotten up by Pol
lock men for a selfish purpose. /
hope the reader of this will not
take such a contracted view of it.
Think of it, brother workers of et-
cry craft; Labor Day is only sur
passed by one great national holt
day, the Day of Independence. If
Grant parish celebrates at all it
must come together somewhere.
Pollock is easy of access by the
public roads, the railroad has Civ
en- reduced rates for the occasion,
and the benefits social and educa-
tional cannot be estimated.
We expect some of the greatest
orators of the day to address the
meeting on the subjects of Labor,
Farming and Education. We will
have base ball and other amuse-
ments to entertain those of play
full frame of mind. Fine music
for the occasion has been arranged
for.
The report has gone out that the
merchants of Pollock are prepar-
ing for a great sales day. This is
certainly an error, for they are now
considering proposition to close
their stores on that day, and sell
nothing at all during the exercises.
Friend, this celebration is for the
benefit of all of Grant parish, the
exhibition of her products, and the
explanation of her vast and varied
resources to the visitors who will
be here to see the exhibits and
listen to the future possibilities as
explained by the orators. Prepar-
atoms are being made for a char
acterlstic Grant parish dinner.
You know what that means. Ev-
cry family brings dinner for them
selves and some one else. The ia
bic Is to be six hundred feet long
and three feet wide, and will be
loaded to the guards. Lemonade
and other refreshments will be on
sale at the different booths by
young ladies and gentlemen Dress
ed In the costume of the nation
they represent. This idea is new.
original and unique.
Much more could be said, but ]
must desist. Don't fail to come
and learn something of the pros
perlty In store for you in the near
future. G.. w. CHRIsrIAN
