youth is In great measure gift of the

them life abounds. They find springs of
energy within and stores of refreshment
without. Wonder, curiosity, the enjoy

these things make for youth. Quarrels,
resentfulness, suspicion, worry, crouch

The Lawrence county Road Engi-
reer did not receive bid on main
tanning any of the sections of roads
advertised for contract This is an
astonishing fact. One would expect
number of bids. at least, from that
class of farmers who are always glad
of an opportunity to get employment
for themselves and teams of such a
nature that it can be done along with
their farm work. Another view. that
suggests itself is that large element
would be interested in having good
roads, and would be prompted by
public spirit to bid on such a PROPOSE
ton We hope it does not indicate
that our people do not really want
good roads. When a man really
wants thing he goes after it, He

The Mexicans seem to have DELHI
erately drawn the United States into
war. If the rebel leader has Joined
Huerta in fighting this country, as is
now reported, the United States is in
for a task that will cost great many
lives and an enormous amount of
money. Should this be the result
there is going to be an overwhelming
sentiment in the United States for
annexing the troublesome territory Of
Mexico, and thus settle for all time
the questions and conditions that
have made stable government there

Bath mats of white turkish toweling
are marked with big initial In color

The Correct Hand Towel.
Guest and hand towels are made OF
plain or bordered huckaback. Some
times the border extends across the
ends of the towels. which are finished
below 1t with one inch hemstitched
hem. Usually the ends are unfgured
and are scalloped or hemstitched. and
the border Is narrow one along both
sides.
Above the end scalloping or hem
stitch there Is sometimes embroidery
done in many OF the popular stitches
and sometimes an initial worked In
simple or elaborate design. The most
durable towel is one hemstitched In
two inch hem
Use Of Embroidered initial.
Some women always use simple,
single letter embroidered In satin stitch
on all their household linen. They
choose this mark and stick TO 1t. The
single letter is the most usual mark at
present anyway. On towels 1t Is plac-
ed just above the hem. II there Is one
perhaps an inch. II the letter Is small,
farther above II the letter is large
On pilowcases the letter has the same
position 1t has on the towels
II the towels and pillowcases are
scalloped and embroidered at the ends
the letter is generally In n wreath or
festoon of the border embroidery.
Sheets should be marked an inch or so
from the hem in the center III they
are marked on the corners the letter or
letters do not show when the sheets
are in use.
Marking Napkins.
Napkins are marked with the letter
placed diagonally so that it viii be In
the center of the square of the folded
napkin. Tablecloths are marked so that
the letter rests on the table near the
edge.
Ink marking. Of course, should be as
inconspicuous as embroidered marking
is conspicuous. Tablecloths and nap
kIns should Ice marked ON the wrong
side. The lettering can be done on
strips OF narrow linen tape, which
should then be neatly sewed on
Sheets are marked In the corner, on
the hem. and piloweases are marked
on the wrong side Of the hem. Towels
are also marked on the wrong side,
A Stencil Marker
Some persons hive copper stencil
plates made for mnrkng linen. These
plates. of course, can be made In any
design. and they are quite the easiest
device for linen marking
Indeible ink for marking may be
made ut home Dissolve two parts Of
nitrate Of silver IN five parts OF liquid
ammonia and dissolve two ana half
parts OF gum arabic and three parts OF
carbonate of soda crystals In fourparts
OF distilled water, When these ingre-
