has gone out among some that it is
very drastic one. n
The ordinance is aimed at persons
engaged in "blind-pigging" and
bookkeeping" and puts an effective
weapon in the hands of officers for
stopping the illegal sale of intoxi-
eating liquors.
The ordinance does not prevent
having liquor in the homes for pri-
vate u.s., but it does prevent carrying
it into town in suit cases. trunks,
etc and gives the officers the right
to search and sieze.
Some of the old wet" crowd are
trying to use the ordinance as a
means for getting another vote on
the license question and they are
trying to stir up sentiment. They
should be squelched in their attempt.
Washburn has had enough of the
licensed saloon and it also wants no
more "blindpigging". The ordinance
puts stop to the latter the first
was voted out and the people are
satisfied.

To Build New Creamery

Secretary Heermans of the Gem
mercial Club announced today that
Washburn is to have new cream
cry. He has been in negotiation
for several weeks with NJ. A. Son
dergaard of Minneapolis, practical
creamery man with abundant
capital. Secretary Heermans urged
Mr.. Sondergaard to purchase the
old creamery which he tried to do
and failed in com NJ to terms.
Several banks in this state and
Minnesota recommend d Mr.. Son
dergaard very highly, both as to
character. financial standing and
business ability. He was much
pleased with Wdshburn UPON his
several visits here and has m, de a
study of local conditions with the
creamery in view.
Yesterday he informed Secretary
Heermans that he was unable Ia
get satisfactory price from the
local creamery people and that he
would come to Washburn immt di-
ately and start his plans for build
inc and installing his own plant
He has already been assure d by a
large nun Der of dairymen that they
will give him their business.

Editor Washburn Times:
Is Washburn defeated? Last Sunday
night good woman. wife and mother,
left her MORALLY i'll child with neighbors
and came from Nash to Barksdale and
walked in from Barksdale to find her
missing husband.
Where did she find him!
She knew. from his prolonged absence
of several days just where to find him.
She walked openly into Washburn's
principal saloon and dragged her drunken
husband out and helped the staggering
man to room so that she could get him
sobered up to go home and be with her
during the severe illness of her child
stricken with pneumonia.
This occurred on Sunday, on Bayfield,
street, among some of the most promi-
nent business houses of the city.
Have the blind pigs quit?
Not at all. Is Washburn defeated?
Certainly so. The new ordinance will
not even put the squelcher upon this
bold and defiant blind-pig keeper. 1t
will require something more strenuous
and effective.
With great bIare of trumpets this
man and others were fined; with great
fanfare and parade. the chief of police
was deposed; with pomp and ceremony
a new ordinance was passed.
Every business man in the city knows
this place is still running. openly, and
that men get drunk there.
Where is the vigilante committee?
Where is the lash and the salt for the
open wounds?
Are we going to turn cur inebriates
and sons and husbands over to this man
to debauch and fitch? Or are'we going
to run this 6end out of town? He has no
law to back him up--but the men seem
afraid of him. physically and morally
afraid. Yours, HENRY HAGENS

HCONOMY is the watchword Of the mod
ern housewife, and as usual the manu-
facturers are respondent to the de-
mand.
The Economy Fibre Refrigerator is made
neither of wood nor metal and is definitely less
expensive than either. 1t is well made, strong,
and gives good service, even if it is not quite so
handsome as the costlier members Of its tribe
It is made Of fibre, finished to initiate
grained wood and is reinforced at the corners
by steel strips. The insulation consists of two
separate alright chambers between three walls
Of non-conducting fibre.
The locks and hinges are of nickelled brass.
The ice chamber is of galvanized metal ard the
food compartment is finished in white enamel.
The removable drain pipe is in central posi-
ton at the back and is provided with water
sealing device at its base. The timed woven
wire shelves are also removable, so that the
food compartment can be stripped for thorough
cleaning. Another advantage is that the bot
tom of the compartment is flush with a door
opening so that no stray splashes of water or
spilled food can lurk in corners or behind
ledges when the compartment is cleaned.
This refrigerator was given the usual nun
dred-hour test in the Tribune Institute labora-
tory The result showed that in the food COM
partment an average temperature Of Alb de-
grees Fahrenheit was maintained in room at
the average temperature Of 69.S degrees
Fahrenheit. The ice consumption was eighteen
pounds a day. No part Of the compartment
averaged above so degrees Fahrenheit-proof
Of good circulation of air and Of efficient re-
fyigeration.
The results of the test, while Of course not
equal TO those given by the seamless cor
structed and higher priced refrigerators, COM
pare favorably with others among the class OF
less expensive ice boxes.

Playing Safe on the Omelet

TINE making OF a perfect omelet-crisp,
puffy, golden brown, light as feather
is about the severest test which can
be applied to the culinary skill of the average
housewife.
1t will rise so beautifully, but when ]. at
tains that crucial point at which it can be
folded together the chances are about ten to
one that it will break or fall or do some other
senseless, mulish thing that should be impossi-
bic TO any we'll behaved omelet. In short cook
ing omelet, like tossing flapjacks, is a knack.
That is why the Wagner aluminium Omelet
Baker smoothes out many difficulties for the
would-be maker of this sensitive delcacy. The
baker is made of cast aluminium and rests on a
east iron iapanned frame very much OF the
fashion of waffle iron. II is shaped, too, like
a round waffle iron except that il is smooth in
side. The egg mixture is poured into the lower
half of the baker and the top closes down over
it. When the lower side is brown, the baker

A Lamp That Saves Your Eyesight

TN THESE days Of indirect light it is COM
fort to have reading lamp which gives
- not only direct light but light that can
be turned upon any given point 70 the exclusion
Of the surrounding territory.
The Emeralite Junior Adjustable Lamp
meets this requirement perfectly. II is small
portable light that can be used either as a wall
or table lamp. The base is weighted and felt

some sacrifices in order to afford those which
are necessary. The day is gone by when her
grandmother's methods were good enough for
her, and now her one desire is to find the best
method and TO use the best appliance for the
doing Of each task.
For instance, why pay towering laundry
bills when it is so easy now to do the washing
at home? In the days when it was case Of
scrubbing clothes on the washboard or send
ing them out, there was only one thing to do
in the absence of a brawny-armed 'washlady'
But now they are simply put into an electrical
washing machine, the current turned on, and
after that the only thing needed is intelligent
supervision.
Especially is this the case with the electric
machine which washes the clothes and wrings
them by centrifugal force. All this is done
inside its own bright copper cylinder and the
only thing needed is the turning of switch
and the adjustment of a lever now and then.
The clothes in the whirling, perforated basket
can either be dried just as they would be if
passed through a wringer or, by continuing
the process, can be dried ready for folding.
It is better, however, to let them finish
drying in the open air, and for this purpose
come the many adjustable clothes racks for
indoor or outdoor use. One that is intended
for use in the kitchen on stormy days, or for
small bits Of occasional washing is wall
clothes rack with eight extension arms that
can be elevated for use and folded fiat at
other times.
When there is need of heating water for
washing, cooking or general household use
there are many reliable gas heaters. Where
gas is not available, it is both practical and
economical TO heat the water in the circulat-
ing tank by kerosene. This device not only
solves the hot water problem in a country
house beyond the reach of gas or electricity,
but is excellent for supplementing the regular
hot water supply.
Dish washing now can be disposed of with
equal ease The demand for dish washers
small and inexpensive enough for use in the
average household has been continuous
enough TO bring reply in the shape of sew
cral convenient small dish washers, either the
electric or hand type, or-still more CON
venient-a dish washer which can be set on
the drain pipe, connected to the faucet and
run BY the power of the water which washes
the dishes.
The vacuum cleaner has already established
itself in the affections of the modern house
wife. The only question now is the type OF
cleaner that will serve best for each particular
purpose In a house Of many rooms and
voluminous draperies the powerful stationary
machine does the best work. but for the aver
age household the type that can be operated
back and forth over the floor like carpet
sweeper and is light and convenient enough
10 be used daily keeps everything in excellent
shape.
No matter where else you economic, 1t IS
not wise to do so in the case of refrigerator.

By means Of an adjustable bail joint at the
end of the light the socket can be turned and
locked at any angle up to 80 degrees. The pull
chain on the socket gives instant and con-
venient control Of the light. When standing on
the table the lamp is twelve inches high.
The Emeralite green glass shade is lined
with white opal glass and is so constructed
that the ventilated holder slips over the cleo
tric bulb and can be tilted at will to direct the
light where it is desired. In this way a
strong concentrated white light is reflected
without any glare or strain on the eyes,
matter of considerable Importance to any one
who does good deal Of reading, writing or
sewing.
Any standard electric bulb may be used
and the Emeralite is equipped with six feet Of
flexible cord by which it may be connected
to any convenient lamp socket.
