Caring for the
Gas Range

- ONE women make a great deal
- of unnecessary work in keep
ing their gas stoves clean. AS
matter of fact If gone about in the
right way it is very simple matter.
1t is exactly as 1T is with ones
general homework. The woman
who cleans a little every day sue
ceeds in keeping her house clean
and neat with the expenditure Of
much less labor than the woman
who has a grand cleaning up every
so often. And she is apt to have
much more time for outside things
as we'll.
One Of the greatest merits Of tho
gas stove is that it makes no dirt in
itself With the old-fashioned range
there was always the dirt from
ashes, coal and kindling to be con-
sidered. The only things which
dirty gas range come from out
side sources. They are rust. dust
and grease.
Possibly the first few weeks with
a new range are the most discourage
ing. For while. it Is stu new every
smallest drop of water will make a
spot of rust. But, this has a sim
pie remedy
A little grease, provided that there
To-
piece of soft paper Or cloth will at
once remove the offending stain.
Very little is required. 1t is best to
attend to it each day before the spot
has a chance to harden. II left too
long II may have to be scraped OFF,
which always scratches and
roughens the surface.
Both the sides and bottom of the
oven should be frequently wiped
with an oily cloth. 1t Is easier to
do this while the oven Is sill warm
It is a good rule to Ieave the door
open after the oven has been used
This will prevent the mois.e,e on
the door rusting your oven Dust
/. naturally easily wiped off To
avoid its settling in the gas rings It
is best to brush them with a small
brush.
The burners on most ranges are
detachable So, If something has
cooked over and filled them, they
can be removed and cleaned The
drip pan under the burners should
also be attended to daily.

ceived letter from the Memphis Asp
halt and Paving Co., at Memphis en-
closing a file of messages and letters
from that company to northern con-
cern from whom pump was ordered
on the seventh of July by telegraph.
The file clearly indicates the cause for
the delay in completing the paving on
Market and Lamar streets which is be-
ing done by the Memphis concern.
The pump is used to draw the as
phalt from large tank here and the
one in use broke necessitating new
one. II was ordered by telegraph with
instructions to rush. The shipment
was lost in transit and new ship
ment is supposed to have been started
toward Greenwood over week ago.
So far it has not yet arrived.
Market street is open to traffic clear
up to the Bridge, about half of the
distance being paved with the asphalt
and the remainder ready for the as
nhalt to be run. Lamar was this
morning thrown open to traffic also
No asphalt has been run on Lamar
vet.
When the delayed pump is secured
the asphalt on both streets can be run
in about eight days.

CLOTHES CHESTS
FOR THE BATTERY
Young Mems Business Club Will Spend
Two Hundred and Twenty
Dollars.

The Young Mems Business Club Of
Greenwood, eager to do something for
the young men Of Battery c and not
desiring to follow the usual trend and
donate SO much money in cash, named
committee to look into the matter
and to decide upon some original plan
Whereby the Club could help the Bat
terry in some way that would cause
them to remember the Club favorably
and also to realize that the members
have at heart the welfare of the men
who are going to the front from
Greenwood and Lefiore County.
The special committee named has
reached decision. 1t was given the
authority to act without referring the
matter back to the Club and have
done So They have agreed to spend
two hundred and twenty dollars for
the Battery in way that will make
the men of the Battery remember
with pleasure the action Of the Club.
The Club will furnish the lumber,
the nails, hinges, paint, brushes, ETC.,
necessary to make clothes chests for
each man in the Battery and in addi-
ton will furnish an experienced cab
met maker to direct the work.
The Club members will be assessed
for the amount necessary to buy all
the material.
So far this is the largest effort that
any organization or individual has ex-
erted in behalf Of the Battery and will
swell the donations to the organiza-
tion.
The action Of the Club was taken
after due consultation with Captain
Harry Hulen of the Battery and he
said that the chests were badly needed
by the men. The efforts of the Club
will be greatly appreciated by the
soldier boys.
