Cleaning Yellow Chiffon

Will you be kind enough to print as soon as you can a formula for cleaning yellow chiffon? It was used as a tunic on a dress and has become slightly soled. l would like to clean it so that it would look fresh again. IS. D."
 Is there better cleansing fluid made than pure gasoline? Use plenty of it. talk ing care to have no artificial light in the room. It is well to conduct the operation in the bathroom. and always by daylight. Souse the chiffon in the fluid, shaking it up and down and around, and if there be spots upon it. rubbing them gently be- tween the hands. Change the gasoline as it becomes cloudy for fresh. By the way, if you set soiled apart in a clean ves- sel, the dirt will settle gradually to the bottom. You may pour the gasoline off slowly and use the clear portion for other cleansing of less delicate fabrics When the chiffon is clean hang it in the wind, pulling it into shaype now and then. When you are ready to put it back upon the dress, lay between two thicknesses of fine muslin slightly dampened and press with warm iron, lightly, not to spoil the general effect.

Would Be q Missionary

Perhaps this inquiry does not belong to your department, bu I should be glad to receive information in regard to being a missionary. Can you tell mo where Bible teacher for little children is needed? How much preparation is necessary to be missionary, preferably in the United States? Is it expensive to learn to be missionary? I am a high school grad uate, I have taught Sunday school claas for six years and have concluded that there is no work that brings more joy than to help little children to live useful, beautiful lives through the teaching of the word of God. I should love to do more of this work, but do not know just how to go about it. Any information with regard to it would be gratefully received,

He states that i've have be- come weary of seeing our state at the bottom of statistical columns, or at the bottom of almost every phase of human achievement" It is not every Mississippian who will admit that Mis- sissippi is at the bottom of everything "a great many of them believe Mis- sissippi is at the top in many respects, but even these will welcome maga zine devoted to booster work that will lay Indiana in the shade.
 R. A. Jordan of Indianola. Sunflower county, is announced as a candidate for clerk of the House of Representa- tives. He is said to be a graduate in the literary and law courses at the state university, is an expert stenog- rapher and typewriter, and has had three years practice at the bar, meet ing with flattering success. In the event MT. Jordan is a good reader and possessed of strong and powerful voice that will reach to the back of the House. he should make a first rate clerk. The emoluments of this office for several years have been $26 per day, mostly net. for the reason that the House has permitted the clerk to en- gage other clerks to do the work and has paid them out of the contingent fund The clerks have been employing one assistant to help him, but most of the typewriting has been done by stem ographers employed by the House. these making copies of all bills. reso- lutions and everything that has come up. Thus the clerk of the House is supposed to have netted about $20 per day for 90 days or more. making the job one of the softest snaps In the state.

At this convention it is under stood that the county officers of the socialists organization will be chosen to manage the campaign of next year and candidates for the various offices will be selected.

 An estimate, derived from various sources, has been placed upon the number of orange trees which are al the present time planted and grow ing in Baldwin county. The estimate has been arrived at by the United States officials working in conjunction with the members of the agricultural department of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad company, and is thought to be nearly correct The estimate gives 424,676 satsuma orange trees, not counting the trees which are found ir the various dwelling yards or about farm houses and 84.2S5 as the number of grapefruit trees which are found in the orchards only. This indicates that there will be some oranges in the county in a few years and proves tht faith which many have in the in dustry.

He was inclined to think that foreign gov ernments will be compelled to adopt a kind of socialistic or governmental con- trol in operation of some of these indus tries. In his view, the chief question for Americans in perfectly organizing their industries for the battle is the ques- tion of price. No one questions the eff ficiency or the perfection of American made machinery or other commodities. It is price competition that we will have to face. That is the view of MT. Davies and MT. Perkins.
 GEORGE w. PERKINS, VIEW
 A day CT two ago MT. Perkins said to the writer that the kind of competition we

will have to meet is the competition which prices for commodities reflect The European nations will be compelled to manufacture commodities and to sell them to the United States in enormous quanti- ties, for in that way they will depend chiefly for making good the, balance of trade, and for getting back the gold they have exported to the United States. He knows from personal experience, especial fly in Australia and the far east, how greatly, prices as named by English and German trade representatives before the war affected the markets in those coun- tries Mir. Perkins said that he is sure that European nations will with utmost endeavor place their manufactured com modities in the United States, naming prices which will command for these com modlties sure market unless we are prepared principally by tariff legislation or by reciprocity agreements to meet these prices
