Dragging The Str eets.

Councilman ID. c. Hardy decided
that dragging the streets of Versailles
would help some, so got busy and
made a drag, and put his team to
work dragging the north part of town,
and the improvement is wonderful
and instant. d. G.. offers to furnish
drags for those who have teams and
will agree to use them on the streets
as occasion offers. Frank White is
supposed to look after Westlawn, and
the territory south and southwest will
probably fall to the supervision of
Counilmen Yarnel and Jacobs, and
il they haven't got teams they can
just hitch up their autos and drag.
All pull together and drag together
for better Versailles.

Where Missouri ExcelS,

In 1919 Texas farmers cultivated
1900, 900 acres of corn land; Mis-
souri, farmers, 7,6aa, 900; Kansas
farmers, 7,s7s.ooo, writes W. l..
Nelson in the Missouri Ruralist Of
Kansas City. The corn acreage for
the three differed but little-the diff
erence is in the yield. Texas grew
1853, soc, 200 bushels of corn; Kan
sas, I74,2as,ooo; Missouri 743,-
goa, 900. In other words, for his
work the Texas iarmer got 81 bushels
OF corn per acre. the Kansas farmer
23 bushels and the Missouri farmer
81 bushels. Because it is to the
West and Southwest that the Missouri
ian who has left the state in search of
better farming opportunities has gen.
orally gone, comparisons are made
with Texas and Kansas, the only
western states that rank high in total
value of agricultural production for
the year 1919.

From The Office OF Roads,
United States Department OF
Agriculture. WASHINGTON, D. e.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 500 words, on the repair
maintenance of earth roads, is to be
awarded by Logan Waller Page, Dl-
rector, Office of Public Roads, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture +,
Washington, d. c. All compositions
must be submitted to Mr.. Page be-
before May IS, 1913, and the medal
will be awarded as soon thereafter as
the compositions can be graded. The
composition may be based on know
ledge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should be
made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
OF the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject of re-
pair and mainte nance OF roads is as
much the cause oI their bad condition
as any other one factor. 1t is expect
ed that the competition will bring
about a better understanding Of the
subject of repair and maintenance in
the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through lack OF proper maintenance
and It is expected that their interest
IN the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining a proper
education and have even prevented
doctors from reaching the side of
rural patients in time to save their
lives.
Any child between the ages mem
toned. attending country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered the name. age.
and address of the writer, and the
name and location of the school which
he or she is attending must be plain
ly written at the top of the first page.
The announcement OF the competition
has been sent to the superntendents

HOW TO WASH LINEN SUITS.
An Expert Laundress Describes the
Best Method.


For washing linen SUITS" said an
expert laundress, use only the best
white soap and never rub the soap on
the cloth unless there is a lot Of hard
dirt to be taken out. In the majority
of cases the suits soak for an hour or
so in soapy water, putting them in
when the water Is quite hot By the
time it is cool enough to permit wash
ing freely the soiled parts are suffi-
ciently soft to admit Of cleaning with
out very much scrubbing. Rinse in
several waters, always until the last
water is perfectly clear, then pass the
garment through the stiffening water,
after which it is pressed as dry as
possible in the cotton sheet
"Some stiffening is necessary to give
the linen the appearance of freshness
which it has when it comes to you
from the tailor. On the other hand,
the greatest care should be taken not
to have too much stiffening. That
ruins the appearance of what would
otherwise be a perfectly washed suit
You want just enough to give the linen
body and yet not take away from its
suppleness.
"In washing colored linens, excepting
tans and browns, color all the waters
and try always to avoid putting soap
on colored linen, and also do not use
water hotter than blood heat, allowing
the linen to soak only few minutes
before washing it out and putting it
in a second water of the same tempera-
ture and colored. Three waters are
generally enough for a colored linen
suit. Where the suit Is not much soil
ed two will be enough. The stiffening
water must be colored just as was that
In which the washing and rinsing was
done.
after wringing in the cotton sheet
care must be taken in hanging both
coats and skirts for the drying process.

HOKARA FOR ECZEMA.
Quick Relief Often Follows First
Treatment--Costs Nothing If it
Halls

Fails.
A strong statement, isn't it? But
we mean every word of it, Hokara
is being used for treating the most
complicated and chronic cases of
eczema, salt rheum, sores, ulcers, etc.
and it quickly banishes pimples,
blackheads, or any other of the min
or skin troubles, leaving the skin in
its normal health and color.
Do not confuse Hokara with any
of the ordinary grease ointments, as
it contains no grease, mercury or
lead, and is entirely different from
anything else on the market.
Although it has wonderful healing
and curative properties, the price is
only 25c for liberal jar-enough to
give it a thorough trial in even the
worst cases. Larger sizes soc and
$1.00.
Your money returned if Hokara
fails to benefit.
