Suede TRIMMING.

Fashions of the day make 1t possible
and practicable to use many things
that heretofore might find their way
into the scrapbasket.
Odd pieces of lace, embroidery. bro
cade, etc. can usually find a place in
the composition of gowns. hats or &C
cessories.
Now we have use for the sleeves
of long white, tan or gray suede gloves
of which the fingers are past repair
These can be utilized for making col
lars, cuffs, revers and pipings on fall
and winter gowns.

GOOD PLAN TO
KILL VERMIN
Dust Bath Should Find Convenient
Place In Every Poultry
House-It Induces
Exercise.

In every poultry house there should
he a dust bath, where the hens may
get rid of lice. Poultry lice breathe
through pores in their sides, and Fl 1e
dust fills these pores and suffocates
the vermin Road dust, hard coal
ashes or dry dirt of any kind, will
accomplish the purpose. Wood ashes,
If damp, may stain the feathers and
otherwise harm the fowls. Some
times, If the hens are badly infested
insect powder may be added to the
material in the dust bath. A tight
box, three by three feet and one foo
deep, is a good receptacle for thu
dust. 1t should be placed where the
sun can shine on 1t, as many hours
as possible; for, when the hens are

Trouble Savers on the Farm and In the Home.

OF by the manufacturers In the first
instance. 1t is those adaptations that
have effected the greater part of the
changes to power equipment for farm
implements.
The gasoline engine has been
blessing particularly to the farmers
wife, who has been relieved of much
of the heavy work of housekeeping in
the country by the application of the
force in performing the drudgery of
the Kitchen the laundry and the dairy.
1t is a very inconsiderate farm hus-
band who today does not lend the use
of the gasoline engine to operate
pumps, washing machines. churns,
cream separators, sausage grinders
and even sewing machines and knife
sharpeners. And the farm wife re-
lieved of such work is better off than
many of her city sisters.
In farming operations the gasoline
engine has done much to promote the
adoption of more careful and scientific
methods of crop growing. By the APP
plication Of its power and speed to the
operation of hulling. cleaning and seed
| grading machines 1t has relieved the
planter of practically all of the labori-
GUS and time consuming task of select
ing carefully his seed grain, one of the
main essentials of increased crop
yields.
In all farm implement displays nova
days the gasoline engine is the most
/

IT IS A GREAr ENTERPRIsE.

THE Board of Trade Of Wilmington is the eve OF
embarking upon one of the greatest enterprises
it has undertaken, and which; II carried out
in the spirit in which It is proposed should contribute
greatly to the commercial advancement Of our city
The proposition is that Wilmington business men
shall contribute fund Of $4,000; that competent
and wide-awake business manager for the board shall \
be employed a salary Of $4,000 year. that he shall
employ industrial agent and publicity agent at
salaries which shall attractive to thoroughly com
petent men, and that far-reaching and unceasing
campaign shall be begun to advertise our city
and to attract to It manufacturing plants conventions,
tourists and the many other things desired, which
are enjoyed by wde-awake cities in which boards OF
trade and other commercial organizations are per-
forming their proper functions.
The experience Of other large and thriving cities has
shown that the only way increase commercial pres
tge advertise the advantages of the city and TO
send agent into the field the industrial plants
That is the very plan that proposed for Wilmington
and It certainly the advantage Of being neither
nor experimental We think however that the OBJ
lection made by Mayor Howell that the proposed fund
of $4,000 large enough 10 finance enterprise
of such magnitude, is well taken Howell s. England
explained that IL is contemplated that that fund shall
only for the first year and that as the work Develops
additional funds shall obtained II seems to us that
IL the work can be financed properly as it develops,
that will meet the Mayors objection to the smaness
OF the initial fund. We agree fully with the Mayor
however in his suggestion that the success Of the
Will depend largely upon the degree OF LIBERAL
ity with which It may be financed.
r. j. Maclean a former president Of the local Board
of Trade until recently business manager for the
! Chamber Of Commerce in Spokane, Washp has been
offered, conduonally, the position Of business manager
for our local board We take It that Mr.. Maclean Will
admit that of the prime essentials of the enter
prise will be proper fund for commercial campaign
ing 1t will matter not how earnestly and inteligenty
Mr. Macean and his associates may work, II the money
needed TO make such work effective be lacking, they
will be- in large measure, poweress TO perform their
missions But If the members of the board and other
business who are not members VIII go INTO the
movement determined to support their business mana
ger and their publicity and industrial agents as they
deserve to be supported, there is reason why the
same success shall attend the~enterprse here that
has attended similar enterprises in other cities
The trouble with Wilmngtonians is that they are
not as a rule boosters and boomers No doubt one OF
the first things Mr. Maclean and his subordnates will
endeavor to do will be to change all that and to con-
vert every man, woman and child into an earnest
