A pinch of salt and tiny lump of

prevent the iron sticking to the cloth.
To help whiten clothes add tea
spoonful of borax dissolved in the last

When laundering madras curtains

rod through the hem of the lower edge,

look much better and newer than

 UP TO MINUTE
 FIRE SYSTEM
Telephone Basis of Alarm and Auto Truck to Make Swift
 Response
Suggestion For a Town Plant to do Electric Lighting to be
 Maintained in Connection With Permanent Department
Especial to The FarIner.)

(SpeclaI to The Farmer)
 Stratford, March 27-Stratford is as pleased with the fire department she has arranged for herself as boy with a new suit of clothes. Her auto fire truck is almost ready to install, and her system of fire alarm has been worked out until it is we'll nigh per- feet and all at very little expense.
 The basis of the fire alarm system is the 400 telephones which are in- stalled here. The arrangement with the telephone company permits rapid conveyance of an alarm because the wires will be cleared of every other business for the purpose of sounding the tocsin.
 This, the tocsin, will be much more robust than it used to be, for the big bell in the church tower has been equipped with a much heavier ham, mer, and when an alarm is turned in the bell sounds at the bed side, or the work bench, of every volunteer.
 The chief receives the alarms by telephone and transmits them to the bell.
 The consid derable percentage of Strat- ford people who are committed to the principle that Stratford must not yield an inch of territory to any other place, are STdtllieu because they see III IuelT thorough means for meeting fire the disappearance of an argument for an- nexation.
 In fact Stratford is beginning to take on the complexion of a city, for with water, gas, electric light, trolley cars and all that sort of thing it has about all the advantages.
 Certain plans for the future are also forming dimly. What would one think now of permanent fire department and a town owned electric lighting plant? Yet the two things are prac- ticable. A gas engine, a generator, wiring for incandescent lamps, and two or three permanent fire fighters to have charge of the plant would pro- vide the means. The cost would be slight and the results would be grati- flying.

PARK THEATRE

Al Reeves Big Beauty Show is the attraction at the Park Theatre for the first three days of this week. MT. Reeves always has succeeded in presenting a burlesque entertainment of an unusually high order, and ac- cording to the present seasons an- nouncements he has apparently ex- celled any of his previous efforts. His company is undoubtedly the best that he has ever had. including, as 1t does, such well known people as Andy Lewis, a comedian of splendid abili- ties, who was last season at the head of his own organization and whose popularity is almost as great as that of Reeves himself; William Cahfll, ''The Man from Ierland," who has a Edwin Morris, who has been identi- fled with some of the most important productions that have been made in this country; the Bush-De We're Four. with Billy Bush, the cornetist, at its head; Marie Brandon, graceful toe and performer, and Idella Vyner. who is firmly established among the best leading women in burlesque. Al Reeves is host in himself, but when he comes surrounded with such an orga anfzatfon of genuinely talented en- tertainers, a perforrnance of rare en- Joyment may confidently be looked forward to. MT. Reeves has always made special point of securing an extraordinary assemblage of pretty girls for his chorus and dancing bal let.
 ssMcFadden's Flats"
 Pronouncedly clever with all the requirements SO essential to laughter, the real thing, spryer and more gay than ever, "McFadden's Flats" will be at the Park Theatre. Friday March 31st. The Waldorf-Astoria is great and it is intimated that we are to have one that will be greater, so it is likewise with the Flats" The farce is great, but this year it is greater. This spectacular fantasy or vaudeville gaiety excels in magnificent magni- tude and splendor it's last years pro- duction-veritable in the vaudeville sense of the term and, if possible, more. amusing than ever, while the scenes pervade in artistic effects and colorings. Everything is beautiful, new and bright costumes, and the concourse of singing and dancing girls completely captivating in gleeful song and graceful motion.
 "Traveling Salesman"
 James Forbes latest comedy, which Henry B. Harris will send to the Park Theatre, Saturday, April Est, matinee and night, monopolizes the laugh market for the season, in as much as it has been pronounced the greatest comedy success of it's class in the last twenty years. It will be pre- scented here by the same company New York and Chicago, in which cities it ran for over a year. Frank J. Mcintyre is seen as Bob Blake, the travelling salesman.

we covered by carriage and on foot
We made fifteen separate horseback
trips, and one day we were in the
saddle or tramping over rough coun-

a twelve-mile hike one day, when that
was the only way of travelling we
had"
The party circled the island of Ha-
waii and made numerous detours on
the way. Public lands, water rights
and other public matters kept the
time well filled. A couple of days
were spent on Maui, and the last
three days were spent on Kahoolawe.
The trip from the Maui coast and
back was made under the guidance
of Eben Low in his boat Kaena. On
this part of the trip the party was
augmented by the arrival of Forester

October 6, is the return day of the
libel.
Trouble has been in the wake of the
