In 1895 Finn attempted to make a
contract with Matthew Stanley Quay,

out In his own hand, a copy of which
is still in existence. In this document
Finn bound himself to deliver to
Quay the votes of all Pittsburg and
Allegheny county legislators and con.
gressmen and all delegates to state
and national conventions in return for
which Quay was to protect Finn in

Hints on Cleaning the Sink

Every sink should be provided with a
three-cornered sieve made by covering a
metal frame with very fine netting.
When water is thrown into the sink Il
should be turned into this sieve, pre-
venting the solid matter from getting into
the pipes and causing trouble. Each time
the dishes are washed the sink should
be carefully cleaned. The quickest way
IS to dissolve teaspoonful of Gold
Dust washing powder in hot water,
rinse every portion of the sink with
the Gold Dust solution, pouring some
of thu, hot suds down the pipe to loosen
the grease that may have gathered in
the trap.

This lack OF organic matter and

mainly TO poor rotations or none at

burning or selling straw and stover.
and the final results seem to have
