Beneficial Results Expected From
Southern Commercial Congress.
Notable Speakers. Awakening Of
New South

New York-Six years ago a repre-
sentative body of business men Of
the South-agriculture, manufactur.
ing and transportation being Well rep.
resented'-met at Atlanta. The dis
cussions and the addresses were Of
nation wide interest. In fact. this
meeting first disclosed to many peo-
pie living in other sections of the
country the extent to which the de-
Velopment of the resources of the
south, which began in reality AMI
earnestness about the year 1880, lad
reached. One Of the addresses was
delivered by the late George West
inghouse. 1t was the last public ut
terance and one OF the rare ones that
Mr.. Westinghouse made. Perhaps
not consequent upon the counsel Mr..
Westinghouse gave, but certainly
fully sympathetic with it, has been
the almost marvellous development
OF electric energy into which water
power is converted and now utiliz
ed over large areas and in some OF
the more popular cities in the south
George w. Perkins spoke to the
members of this business congress
and when he returned from Atlanta
he spoke with enthusiasm TO MS
friends OF the industrial develop
ment then in progress throughou
the south.
Gatherings of this kind in the soutl
in the Mississippi valley and in thu
far west, have always been followe,
by increased commercial and indus
TRIAL activities. Therefore II Is PR

true, however, that concrete floors
built on damp ground are damp. To
avoid this trouble, a concrete floor
may be built on layer Of eight or
ten inches of rock or other material
which will not carry the moisture
from the ground. Some poultrymen
use floors made OF hollow building
tile, and find them very satisfactory.
Where these are used the tile are
laid on smooth surface and the
crevices filled with cement.
Keep Mites In Check
The perches should be built so
that there will be as few places for
mites to breed as possible. II perch
es are removable, so much the bet
ter. board platform should be
placed about eight inches below the
perches TO catch the droppings. This
makes a cleaner floor, and thus adds
to the capacity of the hen house. II
makes it easier to clean the house,
and aids in keeping the mites in
check.
The nests also should be built so
that the mites can easily be combat.
ed. They should be covered or pro-
tected so that the fowls cannot roost
on them This Is necessary In the
production OF a good grade of mar
ket eggs.
After the early matured fowls are
placed in the house, feed should be
given which will form yolk white of
egg, and shell. The common grains
furnish plenty of material for yolk.
Alfalfa, bran, buttermilk and meat
scraps furnish material for the white
of eggs, while oyster shell furnishes
the material for the shell. Good wa
ter Is of course necessary. Some of
the grain feeds should be fed in a
deep litter of straw On the floor to
furnish exercise to keep the fowls
in good condition.

HOW TO WASH
WOODEN GOODS

To wash wooden goods successful
~ the water should be soft and
warm, not hot, and of uniform tenn
perature throughout the operation.
Only the milder soaps should be used
and these not applied directly to the
fabric. II much dirt Is present a vo-
lathe alkali such as ammonium carbon
ate may be added to the wash water.
The scrubbing to which fabric is
subjected should be gentle and the
wringlng through loosely set wiring
ers.
Once washed, the goods should not
be allowed TO lie about wet, but
should be Immediately hung up to
dry preferably out of doors if the
air Is dry and the temperature above
| freezing.
The reason for this careful treat
ment is found in the peculiar nature
of the wool fibre. It's outer or epid
ermal layer is made up of minute
serrations which are arranged II
some such manner as the scales OF
a fish. Now these scale are softenec
and opened up by hot water and by
such alkalies as are found in the
harsher soaps. In this softened con
dition the pressure due to hard Grub
bling is sufficient to caue the serrat
tel edges Of the fibres to interlocl
or felt.
Felted fibres are usually hard ant
brittle. This is because the alkal
which has helped in felturing pre-
cess has removed from the cells Gel
tain fatty substances which serve L
make the fibre soft and pliable.
Fabrics which have become har
and felted have not only lost thei
attractiveness, but also most of thei
usefulness as a protection from tn
cold. This latter quality is due I
the air blanket which forms in tn
spaces between the fibres for quie
air is, as we know very poor cor
ductor of heat and cold. When tn
fibres have become felter, these al
spaces are lost and consequently tn
fabric is no longer able to materla
ly aid the body to retain its heat -

Very likely one of the most inter

was long associated with J p. Nor
gan & Co., and through his familiar
ity with commercial and Industrial
conditions in Cuba is fortified to
speak with authority respecting the
large trade relations which have al
ready been established between the
south and Cuba, which will undoubt-
edly be much increased by reason OF
the highly improved transportation
facilities which now make It posi-
BILE to transport freight, without
breaking cargoes, back and forth be-
tween Key West and Havana.
The Bounding New South
Were the conditions at the time
of this meeting similar to those pre-
vailing year ago, then the gather
ing would be characterized by hope
rather than enthusiasm Now there
appears to be no part of the country
which has responded more rapidly
to the new impulses created within
a year than has the south. For
several weeks, communications have
been coming to New York which tell
of a revival-or, perhaps, increase is
n better word-of prosperity through
out the south. In some respects it
resembles the suddenly created pros
perity upon the Pacific coast, al
though the south was earlier to feel
the stimulating influences OCCASION
ed by our foreign trade than was
the Pacific slope. One of the fea-
lures OF southern industry that is
often spoken of here as most graft
lying is the increase of diversified
agriculture The south, of course will |
be always preeminent in the grow
ing and harvesting of cotton but 1t
IS likely to gain, relatively, as great |
in the production of corn |
md other grains.

rades the business atmosphere in !

people of the south. And it is in /!

SATURDAY EVENING ALlBl."

The LEADER is glad to welcome to
its exchange table the Saturday Even
ing Alibi, lately launched at Portland
by Rex Lampman with the kind as
sistance of the Oregon Journal.
Lampman originated and promulgat-
ed the Monday Crawfish, but when he
went over to the Journal was succeeded
in the Crawfish Office by Dean Collins.
Collins facetiously alludes TO his prede-
cessor as 1.-THE late Mr.. Lampman" be-
cause he allied himself with an after
noon newspaper. He is late, but he is
also early and often and untiringly
ubiquitous, and Collins will find him
so when these two rival editors settle
down to competitive combat.
The Alibi is bright, breezy and bu-
collie and we enjey it, although we are
panied to observe that it numbers its
first issue Vol. Z No. IL. 1t seems to
US that this is debasing appeal for
the support Of the colored population.
Also, it is unreliable, as it contains
an alleged interview under an alleged
Weston date line with an alleged Wes-
ton war expert who unqualifiedly repu-
dates the sentiments ascribed to him.
Likewise, it is regrettably fiippant
and irreverent. We clip as a caIlous
example the following obituary poem:
Here lieth the body of Simon McCue,
He's gone to bis final repose;
He wore a checked shirt and number
10 shoe,
And had pink wart on his nose"
Editor Lampman win need an alibi
every evening when the late lamented's
relatives begin to get action. His Of
fense is aggravated by printing the
poem as "An Old Favorite. ="

 Nakayama killed himself after shooting the woman. The couple had been at a local hotel, the woman as serting that she was compelled to go there by the man under threats of bodily harm. and that before the man shot her he bound her to a bed with strings made from the sheet.
