Paper napery has had no little difficulty in
making Its way into favor. mslnfy because
its early use In cheap restaurants seemed to
associate 1t with the sort of life and the grade
Of refinement for which. IN most peoples
minds, the cheap restaurant stands But
the advantages It offers, under some of the
conditions that modern ways Of living are
imposing upon the housewife. have given It
q steadily increasing vogue. Both the wom-
an who cannot always be fastidious as
she would like to be about her table ap-
pointments. and the woman who can. are
finding more and more uses for these paper
substitutes that VIE have borrowed from
our friends, the japanese.
In the large cities, where the apartment
house, with its compact suites. has contrib
uted so nightly TO the prosperity Of the
steam laundry, the consequent havoc upon
table linen has driven many a housewife
first to despair and then TO paper napkins
One by one her large serviettes of fine linen
disappear and their place is taken by d.
minutive squares of an evidently doubtful
past
The office clerk Of the laundry establish
ment receives her complaints with unInter-
ested suavity and calls her attention to the
fact that she has received as many napkins
as she sent 1t is nothing to him that they
are not her napkins. She has received her
due number, SO why should she complain?
Moreover, II she can be subdued in no other
way, he can always. in the end, discover her
laundry mark upon the scorned articles.
And in the meantime her pile Of cherished
napery is gradually transformed into a COL
lection of battle SCARED and bedraggled
pieces OF linen Of all ages, sizes, shapes, and
conditions. If any of her original serviettes
remain she soon discovers that some steam
laundry methods have bitten them fun of
holes. And presently, with reluctance, but
driven to 1t because it seems the only solu-
ton, she invests in a roll Of paper napkins.
And many housewives whose existence is
not enlivened by contests with the steam
roller have found uses for the paper napkin.

sorts. where It is desired to make the season
one of rest and comfort, paper napery is

every year.
And even in places and seasons where
daily living continues on Its usual lines these
napkins are gradually making their way
They are beginning to be much used for
breakfast, especially in summer. to save the
linen napery from fruit stains, and both they
and the paper tablecloths are In demand for
children's parties. The napkins are made
in three sizes. in plain white and with a
great variety of decoration In oolors, and they
can be bought at retail at from 10 to 80
cents hundred. according to size and quail
ity, and. according. also. to the place where
they are purchased.

Paper towels are already used In schools
and semi-public schools. The manufactur-
ers have not yet succeeded In making them
of a sufficiently soft and absorbent quality
TO be entirely satisfactory. When they do
succeed great popularity can be predicted
for them
They are sold at IS cents per hundred.
The manufacturers are at work also upon
the problem of making paper sheets and
pillow cases that will be as softly inviting
to the tired body as those Of linen or cotton
But the problem is still unsolved, although
they are hopeful of finding its solution.
Sanitary handkerchiefs, which are for
use and not at all for ornament have been
very successful. A half dozen in a little
stin paper case sells for 10 cents. The case
has a compartment in which the used ones
can be put until they are destroyed. Great
quantities OF smaller paper squares are
bought by the hospitals and sanitartuu,s
and even by invalids at home for use IN tu-

price of wheat, there will be large
crop of wheat sowed in this valley, if |
one can safely judge from the vast
quantity of fertilizers being hauled
from the r. R. to this section.
1t is certain that the corn crops in
this valley will not make more than
half of an average yield, while the
yield of hay, with the possible excep-
tion of millet, is not so good as that
of corn; yet it is believed that most
farmers will have sufficient feed to
take their stock through the coming
winter.
More cattle have been driven
through and from this valley during
the last two months, than for any
similar period since the remarkable
drouth of 1901.
We we're very much astounded to
learn of the brutal murder of Richard
Mallow, which occurred few weeks
ago near Black, Reynolds county.
The perpetrator of this crime, if
positively apprehended, should have
the full force of the law, which no
doubt he will get. The writer has
known Richard Mallow for more than
a quarter of century, and while he
was somewhat eccentric in his habits,
he was an honest, law abiding citizen.

here from Flat River, is getting a
pretty fair practice, considering the
short time he has been in this valley.
