Prickly Porky had told him tina Peter

either Prickly Perky had told an un-

UNC' BILLY POssUM TELLS
JIMMY SKUNK A SECRET.

Copyright, 1914, by j. G. Lloyd,

Be sure before you drop a friend
That you've done nothing to defend.
Unc' Billy Postum says so, and he
knows. He ought to, for he had made
a lot of them in the Green Forest and
on the Green Meadows, in spite Of the
FRANKS he has cut up and the tricks
he has played. And when Unc' Billy
makes a friend he keeps him. He says
that it is easier and a lot better to
keep a f!-end than to make a new
one. And this is the way he goes
about 1t: Whenever he finds that a
friend is angry with him he refuses to
be angry himself. Instead, he goes to
that friend, finds, out what the trouble

the tenth bundle it binds a cord

II Is where the dirt is swept from
room to room as is often done.
A skilled sweeper can sweep a
room without raising scarcely any
DUST. The handle of the broom should
never come to the perpendicular, but
should always be inclined slightly
forward. The sweeper stands on the
unswept portion of the carpet and
reaches back and draws the broom
forward. The broom is lifted from
the carpet for another stroke before
1T reaches the perpendicular. That
cloud Of dust that you noticed COM
ing out of your neighbor's door was
caused by the sweeper using the
broom with the handle inclined back
ward. BY learning to sweep with the
handle Of the broom inclined for
ward, one can do better work and
will raise very little dust.
Broom straw is hard and brittle
and easily broken. Before using a
new broom, 1t should be soaked in
water for half an hour or so. after
which 1t should be hung out in the
open air to dry. This will soften the
straw so one can sweep without dan
ger of the hard straws cutting the
fine threads Of the carpet.
When not in use the broom should
be hung upside down to prevent the
straws from adhering to one another.
When hung upside down the broom
will retain its shape.

Learn the Art of Sweeping

LII OW MANY women really know
III how to handle broom? 1t is
safe to say that the number OF
women who really know the correct
art of sweeping is very small indeed.
Before beginning the broom should
be dipped into hot soapsuds. Squeeze
out the water, leaving the broom
damp, but not dripping. This prac-
tice not only makes it easier to sweep
but toughens the straw of the broom,
and makes it soft so there is little
danger of cutting the carpet. Before
beginning work, a pailful Of hot
soapsuds should be in readiness in
which to rinse the broom when 1t be-
comes dusty.
To keep down dust, 1t is well to
soak newspaper and after squeez-
ing out all the water possible, tear it
into small pieces and scatter over the
carpet. Or, if preferred, sprinkle the
carpet with moist tea leaves, or clean
moist sawdust.
Begin work in a corner and work
along the walls, around the room,
gradually sweeping all the dirt to-
ward the center, where it should be
taken up with dust brush and pan.
1t is apparent that this method moves
the dirt over the smallest possible
space, and as result, there will be
less dusting to do. The wear on the
carpet will not be nearly so great as
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-11-05

A new broom does good work be-
cause it is square and the straws are
straight. Hence, in sweeping, it is
we'll to sweep with one side while
and then with the other. If there is
any tendency of the broom to become
one-sided, it is certain indication
that one side Of the broom has been
used more than the other. By keep
ing the broom square as good work
can be done with an old broom 10
can be done with a new one.
