I IN order 20 restore their pile after
cleaning.
1t should be borne in mind that not
all fabrics are suitable for dry cleaning
ing Linens and cotton stuffs and hair
silk fabrics can better be cleaned with
soap and water or soap bark solutions.
Likewise It is we'll to remember that
benzine and like dissolvents are ef-
fcctiye on grease or fat stains. hence
other stains are best removed before
hand By different methods Glycer.ne,
for instance, is "a solvent for allIaloids,
alkalies, dyeEtufs and like substances.
Employed In combination with the
yolk of a fresh egg, just broken from
the shell, It is unsurpassed for remov-
ing such stains from white flannel or
similar white woolens The mixture
should be spread on the stain, let
SOAK i'm II half hour and then washed

A MODERN NATTY BUMPO.
TOdebolt Chronicle

Thfrty-Seven years ago J. Mummey
came to Odebolt as a young man and
engaged in farming. Twenty-Five years
ago he sold the farm, closed ont every
thing and went to Seattle, which place
he has since called his home. With his
wife he is now on a visit to local rel
atives and the event Is one OF more
than passing Importance as Mr.. Num-
mey has had a varied experience dur
ing the years since he claimed Odebolt
as his home and is an interesting gen.
tleman Early in life he became a
frontiersman thru choice. He has al
WAYS loved hunting fishing and adven-
ture and when this country began to
settle rp he pushed on west and reveled
in a life Of adventure in the northwest
states. In 1897. before the gold discov-
erv in the Klcndike he CONTRACTED the
ALASKAN fever and with a companion
went to that country and travelled thru
it from end to end, enduring hardships
and encountering experiences more
thrilling than recounted in fiction
While on his travels he struck pay
dirt and marketed enough Of the ore
to make him a rich man. Five times
in all has he explored the country and
knows every foot Of it like a book

when the present beds are more
nearly exhausted.
Miles and miles of the Illinois river
have been scraped clean Of the mus
sells. The Des Moines river, home
of the pearl button industry in Amer
lea. is giving up less OF pearls and
shells than it did in the earlier days,
when pearling was new in the middle
west.
Near Mt. Carmel, llE. little more
than a year ago. lucky fisherman
picked up a yearl that was after
wards sold for $500. Farmers sons
and town lads out for a days fishing
on the river have stumbled upon Ands
worth anywhere from 500 to $500.
AS soon as the news OF this sort be-
comes known in the neighborhood
there is usually rush Of the maateur
and the professional pearlcr to that
section Of the stream. 1t is some
think like stampede to new gold
diggings, but on a miniature scale.
One summer afternoon 4 party OF
fishermen on the Wabash river were
fishing in an unfrequented part OF
the river. Their luck was anything
but good, and one Of the party began
to playfully open a few nussels that
;;.v .ov stage Of the river had barred.
One of the party was tearing open
the shells in listless sort Of way.
He felt something round and hard
in the tissues of the half-dead mus
sell He squeezed 1t thru the clammy
flesh and beautiful pear-shaped pearl
dropped thru his fingers. Two more
pearls-smaller, but still valuable
enough to bring 500 each-were found
in the same stranded group Of lnussels.l
The pear shaped pearl sold for $1,000

were thru bidding upon it.-St. Louis

THE GREAT TROUBLE WITH TAFT

MI vernon Recordl
The great trouble with President
Taft seems to be that he can not re-
member from one day to the next what
! lie has done or said he will do This
lands nj min distressing situations. For
/ instance it led him to deny that any
! cne had helped him prepare the Bal
.ngcr letter. and later led him to ad-
NIT that ii had been prepared by Bal
! fingers attorney. This is but one Of
many instances The latest comes from
one Of his speeches made within the
past ten days. In this speech ne said:
| They have charged me with using the
! patronage to accomplish something. II
have l was unconscious of it, Yet
! year ago in August or September he
! had his secretary. Mr.. Norton. write to
| then Congressman Walter l. Smith. a
letter. which contained the following:
The president felt it his duty to his
| rarity and to the country to withhold
| federal patronage from certain senator's
ana congressman. In certain states,
like Wisconsin and Iowa and else
where he was willing. in the interest
OF what the leaders thought would lead
TO party success to make certain dis
crimina tions." Surely with such q
memory President Taft should not he
given the nomination by the republican
party.

THEORIES AND THINGS.

jim mn : theory OF the cause OF llSD

ducers and consumers were balanced,
if the number producing food and the

number Of consumers and the amount

and a lot of other things
would be settled justly and equ,ably.
The serious difficulty with the plan is
that the consumer and the producer.
the worker in the city shops and all the
rest Of us are individuals and are urged
here and there by our own inclinations
and desires. We do not stop to con-
slider economic questions as they con-
Germ the human race but are vitality

doubt Mr.. Hill could arrange things
much better than they are if We would
let him. But We will not We crowd
the the cities and over balance popu-
lation much to the disgust of students

And we shall keep on doing it until
conditions change There are many
thousands Of fairly educated and well
bred men and women living from hand

at $50 and house rent and a chance to
keep chickens and pigs as a farm hand
in the country, but with all the agri-
cultural cry against the Goldfish aristoc-
racy Of the cities the farm laborer
would find himself and his family as
lonely as tho they had been washed
ashore on d desert island. Men and
women of Independent mind crave
equality Of conpanionship and it is
true that isolated as a farm hand social
privilege and equality would be as far
from their reach as tho they dwelt in

This is one Of the impulses that send
people Of small means 70 the towns and
cities and checks the back to the

theory that the farm hand ought not to
vote for school director unless he is
willing to vote with his employer is not
entirely dissipated and the social
classification is as definite in the coun-
try as anywhere else SO a natural i'm
pulse leads people TO gather together
for an equality Of association and OF
wealth or poverty.
AS the late Mr.. Cleveland might have
put it a condition always has the best
of a theory. We ought to get back tC
the land and balance things; but we
are inclined to stay where we earn q
mere living in companionship with
others rather than to go where We may
earn a bare living without it. To be
sure every man should own his owr
little farm, but as Mr.. Kipling would
say, that is another story.
