THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Suppose an engineer had a certain
great weight to lift
Suppose 1t took 400 horsepower Of
pressure to lift that weight.
And suppose that the engineer should
apply fifty horsepower to it, and then
shut off his engine and then try again
and again with fifty or seventy-five or a
hundred horsepower.
Wouldn't we think he was an extraor-
dinarily foolish man?
He has wasted his power, we would
say. and has accomplished nothing He
would have done better to use all his
power at once or not try to do the thing
at ALL
And yet how many people act just like
that engineer?
I am thinking OF a woman who lives
with a very trying elder sister.
The older woman is one OF those peo-
pie who make life miserable for all
about them by harboring thousand
irritating little prejudices and businesses.
All these things fret the younger sister
to the verge Of insanity. and she lives In
continual state Of protest-fretful. nerv-
Gus, inefficient protest.
She argues, she pleads, she scolds, she
nagS.
But never-and here you catch my SIM
ile-never hard enough to do any good.
Her sisters obStinacy and self-will is
a weight that cannot be moved except
by some great pressure.
And that the younger sister never ex-
erts
AS a result both their lives are en-
Uttered and saddened by perpetual petty
warfare without one bit of good being
accomplished.
Now this is the way 1t seems to me:
That the only thing to be done in a case
like this is for the sufferer to make up
her mind that she, when she wants any
thing badly enough. will stand Arm and
get 1t, and that when she doesn't want
anything badly enough to exert that
pressure she will give up and give up
pleasantly
In other words, when the weight must
be lifted she will exert the necessary
amount Of power and lift 1t, and when it
doesn't she won't waste her power.
In regard to the law OF obedience Ell
bert Hubbard says:
Revolt is sometimes necessary, but the
man who mixes revolt and obedience is
doomed to disappoint himself. and every
body with whom he has dealings. To
flavor work with protest Is to fail ut
terly.''
II seems to me It's the same way with
family life.
There are conditions In family life when
revolt is absolutely necessary.
When YOU are sure these conditions
exist, why, revolt, and do 1t thoroughly.
But when you know that acquiescence
IS wisest, why, acQuiesce, and do it cheer
fully
But don't mix the two.
At least not if you care anything for
peace in your home.

spread on a table and rub them thor
oughly with heated corn meal, wiping
them off with a cloth dipped in gasoline.
A damp hand is not healthy and can
not be beautiful. Apply the following To-
ton two or three times a day: Ten
grains tannic acid. two ounces elder
flower water and one-half ounce tine
ture Of benzoin. If used persistently 1t
will arrest excessive perspiration and
dry up the moistness In the palms Of the
hands.
A good homemade furniture polish is
composed Of linseed or salad oil and vim
egar. Mix well with a stick until the oil
does not float on the surface. Apply with
a flannel and rub OFF with linen.
When the feet become tired lie down on
a bed and raise them as high as pos
sfble, supporting them there with a blan-
ket or comforter In five or ten minutes

To clean a burned kettle. turn out the
burned contents, but do not fill with
water Set 1t aside to cool and then
place In a handful of washing soda and

hour or more.
To bleach faded colored cottons soak
overnight in solution Of bichloride of
life, one heaping tablespoonful to pail OF

First Prize in Close
Finish

Mrs. F. Neumuth 1920
Miss Emma Krug 1864
Miss Gladys Ferris 1,78O
Mrs. ID. B. Donahue is the winner
of the Krause piano offered by the
Drake Drug Co. and Pioneer Press
to the lady securing the most votes
on subscription and purchases at the
local store, and faithful to the pre-
diction of this paper day before
the close, the two leaders. Mrs. Don
ahue and Miss Emma Croft ran re-
markably close for first honors-so
close that ten spot" thrown down
by any of the friends of the lady in
second place would have changed
the result by few thousand votes.
The contest was an interesting
one from the very outset and on the
closing evening the interest about
town was almost as keen as if the
people were about to decide vital
economic issue at an election. 1t
was the topic of conversation all
evening and while the judges. ad-
journed to the rear of the bank and,
assisted by Cashier Taft, counted
the ballots for the last time people
awaited the outcome with eager in
terest.
The three leaders in the race.
Msms. Neumuth and Donahue and
Miss Croft, were the only candidates
who made an active campaign for
votes. All of the above named
ladies had strong backing in and
ii,out of the community and each re-
oei.ed a surprisingly large nuns5e.
of unsolicited aid from outside; a
tribute to their popularity, indeed.
Considering that the rivalry for
the first honor was very keen at al!
times, the very best of feeling be-
tween the rivals prevailed. OF
course the candidates were not with
out their fool friends" who scented
dark design and unfair play in near
} ly every move, but that was to be
expected. Many ugly, absurd and
utterly baseless statements were
, made against the managers of the
contest shortly after the close and
the circle was widened even to doubt
the integrity of the judges. That,
| too, was anticipated, and while the
3 managers will pay no heed to these
statements they invite a most mi
mute and searching inquiry into its
conduct. Every dollar taken in is
accounted for; every vote given for
every dollar is accounted for. The
Pioneer Press and Drake Drug Co.
kept an absolute. checking system
on each voting coupon. The judges
carefully filed the votes away from
week to week. Everything was a.
bove board. Let the carping critics
who think otherwise investigate.
By reason of this spirited contest,
lasting about three months, the
! Pioneer Press has more than doub-
led its circulation and while the sub
scription end of newspaper is new
er revenue-producing end, large
list such as the Pioneer Press now
r boasts of is the joy of alert and en-,
! terprising business firms. When
e they. spend their money for public.

boasts of its ability to furnish thai

Press is not a weekly visitor.
