How to Utilize
WOrn-Out Brooms

Worn out brooms can be utilized In
various ways. For a floor polisher, cut
the straws down halfway and cover
with a piece of felt or an old piece or
carpet. Sweep the hardwood floors with
this and use 1t as a polisher after wsX
has been applied. An old broom COW
cred with a soft cloth makes handy
brush to clean walls and ceilings.
Cut the handle of short, leaving about
six inches of 1t, and cut the broom
straws down until they are even across
the bottom. and you will have a handy
hearth brush.
The usefulness of a broom can be pro-
louged many days by keeping the broken
ends of straw clipped on even across
the bottom; also you will find that II
you give your brooms an occasional
bath in warm suds and rinse them with
cold water they will keep fresh and
new looking a long time. Never allow
brooms to stand on the straw, end.
Either hang them up OF stand them In
the corner with the handle resting on
the floor.

a member of his former parish in
Hyannis. he suggested that her
brother-in-law in Bridgewater be no
tilted. Before hanging up the re-
ceiyer he asked: Did she say any
thing before she died?"
The theory of suicide was dispelled
when the real conditions surround
ing The death of Miss Linnell were
made known. The girl had been sit

OF hot water while beside her was a
fresh change OF clothing. The au-

Windsor Team Gets Base Ball Trophy
Regardless of Championship ROW

The spaulding trophy has arrived
for the Windsor ball team AZ champ
ion Of the Weld County league.
The trophy is a handsome silver
cup and 10 on display at Russelrs
pool hall.
1t 10 duly engraved as the cham
pionship cup and also bears the
name OF the team to which the CUP
was awarded. A. G. SpauldinR and
company offered this cup to the win
ner of the Weld County league At
the opening of the season.
When the league season closed
and there was dispute over the
championship among the teams
composing the league. this company
went over the questions In dispute
and awarded the cup to Windsor
Early In the season It became appar-
ent that Windsor was the strongest
team In the league and that unless
some heroic measures were patron
lied Windsor would capture the
pennant. Then It was that LaSaiIe
Milliken and Johnstown united to
defeat us. Lasalle was the only
team that could hold Windsor down
and II was plain that Milliken and
Iohnstown would never get very
far. So the latter teams decided to
all hang together rather than hang
alone. They dealt one another
