'WII some one please publish a good recipe for floor oil? We buy 25 cent bottle and it lasts only little while. It is much too expensive for people of mod crate means to use.
 IAN ECONOMIST A good floor polish is made by mixing together well two parts of crude linseed oil and one of turpentine, adding a tea spoonful of salt to a gallon of the mix ture. Apply with a soft, clean flannel, rubbing in faithfully; throw light cloths over the floor to exclude the dust while the oil is drying. When the flour is per- fectly dry (which should be in three hours in fair weather) polish with a block of wood covered with several thicknesses of chamois skin and fastened to a broom handle, so you will not have to stoop to do the polishing.

strom, the we'll knowG Port Wing

view of developing power plant
on the Iron river, at the falls a
point two miles from the mouth of
the river, and it now looks as
though he will realize his object ard
carry to successful completion a
plan that he has entertained for
years.
The Iron river is spring fed and
has steady flow of water which
makes the stream particularly de-
Siraole one for power purposes, and
there are other desirable features,
including the absence Of serious
floods and the possibility of storing
large amount of water in six lakes
at the head waters during the wet
season for use at other times of the
year, thus insuring steady power.
