CARE OF THE BROOM
MAKER TELLS HOW TO PRoLoNa
ITS LIFE.
It Should Be Swung Back and Forth
From a Point Back of Sweeper
to Place at an Equal Dls-
tance In Front.

1T makes me sad," said a broom
maker, Ito see the way people use
brooms. The life of broom could be
twice prolonged by proper usage, and
used properly it would be vastly easier
to use.
You've seen people sweeping ahead
OF them. pushing stuff with broom?
Why, the best and most perfectly sea-
Goned broomcorn stock that ever was
put into broom wouldn't stand such
treatment as that
with such handling splints will
break off. The splints remaining,
Jagged and uneven, bear unevenly on
the surface. You never can sweep
clean with 1t after that
Then you know the majority of
sweepers always sweep with the same
side of the broom to the front, and in
this way they soon get the broom lop-
sided, 80 that they can't use 1t any
other way. There couldn't be worse
way.
Used in this manner the points OF
the splints get bent all one way and
then they meet together at their ends.
They don't bite, they don't take hold
Of dust as they are meant to do. they
don't sweep clean, and when a broom
has come to this condition the sweep
or Is less careful Of 1t, for then It Ia
not 80 good broom. Such broom
the sweeper feels that he may push
ahead Of him; and when he does this
with 1t the broom is finally and IRE
trievably ruined.
"Of course the correct way to use 9
broom is with the handle, in its initis.
position. held vertically, 30 that al
the splints in the face OF the broom
will take hold at the same time ant
evenly. In sweeping the broom should
be swung back and forth from a poin
back Of the sweeper to point at al
equal distance in front. That Is thu
proper way to use broom, and theI
every day the sweeper should turI
the broom around, so as to sweep witt
different side daily. Used In thi
manner and turned daily the broom
wears down evenly.
Il have seen-a delight to the pre-
fessional eye and comfort to every
body who likes to see any implemen
used to the best advantage. thought
fully and considerately-I have seel
brooms that had been 80 used tina
they had worn down almost to tn
binding threads, but that still bit beat
tifully. / am perfectly well awar
that brooms carelessly used. as CON
monty they are. wear out faster, wit
corresponding benefit to broom
manufacturers; but still l do reall,
hate to see anybody misuse broom.

To Starch Linens,

IN starching linens and similar
goods too light for mourning starch
and too dark for the white, put In the
boiling starch large piece of tissue
paper In shade to match as nearly as
possible the dress material This will

strained nothing but the dye will re-
main, making starch of the exact
color desired.

who does much color embroidery Of
the stifly starched variety.

amount of sugar to the amount of

NEWS FROM HANCOCK
MAYOR TO CALL MEETING
TO DISCUSS TOURNAMENT

So much general interest has been
aroused in the proposition to endeavor
to secure the annual tournament and
convention to the Upper Peninsula
Firemen's association in Hancock in
1911, that Mayor WI Frank James has
decided to call a public meeting to dis.
cuss the matter. The date of the
meeting has not been announced as
yet. but viii be given out the early
part of next week. If sufficient sup
port Is shown to be likely TO be forth
coming the delegates to the conven.
ton at the 500 in August win be in
structed to use every possible effort to
land IL for Hancock. I'm 1909 there
was strong movement under way to
get the tournament for that year, but
the claims of Hancock were relin-
quishod in behalf of Laurium, with an
understanding that Hancock would
seek it i'm 1911. 1t Is now eight years
since the convention was held here,
and ii is thought that the time Is ripe
to nave Ii again. No place i'm the ter
ritory of the association has better
facilities for entertaining delegates
and visitors than has Hancock, and
the recently aroused public spirit that
has manifested itself I'M the formation
of the Boosters" Greater Hancock
club, and the spontaneous feeling of
local pride that was demonstrated I'm
the recent Fourth OF July celebration
gives assurance that if Hancock gets
the tournament the event will be made
one of the most notable i'm the history
Of the Upper Peninsula Firemen's as
ISOLATION.
There is also probability that the
Hibernians may endeavorito secure the
annual state convention of the A. o.
II. for Hancock in 1911. The Temple
of Honor and Temperance has already
decided TO meet here next year and an
effort is being made to land other con-
ventions that will make next summer
as notable for it's conventions as that
of 1907, when this city was the gather
ing place Of half a dozen prominent
conventions, including the national
convention of the Sons of st. George
the state Congregational association
and the Upper Peninsula Pythian
league.

SUPERVISOR GETS LETTER
ON MORTGAGE TAX MATTER

e,nervisor John Funkey OF the thiro
-, M the city of Hancock TINS
ming received from Secretary
caoree Lord of the state board of as
.sors a communication relative To
,,o matter of untaxed mortgages con-
aorning which there has been consid-
.atie discussion this week, following
- nuhlication of n despatch from
lansing stating that there were S24S'-
ooo If untaxed mortgages I'm the third
uord alone. II was also intimated
,hot similar conditions existed In the
other wards OF the city.
IN the letter received today by Su-
,or,isor Funlxey the amount OF the al
ieged untaxed mortgages Is given as
considerably less than the amount
oroted In the Lansing despatch OF n
copnIe OF days ago, the sum now said
~ be lacking being only $25,262. Even
This amount is said by Mr.. Funkey TO
ne wrong, and he repeated the state
mont made a few days ago TO the eff
sect that the state tax officials are bas-
tho their claims on old lists, OF mort
gapes. all or most OF which have been
cancelled.
I'm many instances mortgages nave
been paid without any official notice OF
cancellation having been given. These
are still on record, but the city cam
not collect anything on them, and II
they sent the money apparently due on
them 10 Lansing 1t would have to come
ont of the city When the board of
review was in session recently num-
her of such cases came under its con-
sideration, and on investigation II was
found that the mortgages I'm question
had been dead for n long period. The
letter from Lansing to Mr.. Turnkey
calls attention to the penalties provid-
ed for neglect to assess mortgages and
suggests that the omission was an
oversight. There was, IL seems, no
oveI.i IT and no neglect, and that the
action of the board of review and the
various supervisors was in good faith
and the only action that could be TAX
en- under the circumstances.
George Ross, supervisor of the first
ward last year, also received COM
munication similar to that sent to Mr..
Funkey. The conditions i'm these
wards ar identical with. those in Mr..
Funkey's ward, some of the mort
cages having been discharged as much
as three or four years ago. one OF
those on the list furnished from Ian
sing related to n man who moved west
about three years ago, and whose obi.
cations were discharged before he lett
the city on going over the list SIM
liar state of affairs was found in re-
gard to about eight out of ten of the
mortgages mentioned.
