GOOD HOUSEk EEPING
BY Henrietta Grauel.
THE WET WASH.

The next home industry to bc taken
out of the hands of the tired wiic and
mother will be, | hope, the family wash
Even now. in cities, two-thlrds of the
laundry work is sent out and only iine
pieces are done st home And IN cites
wash day is not the ncar tragedy IT rs IN
the rural districts. because almost every
modern town house has running hot end
cold water, stationary tubs end drlorS IN
the basement Towels. sheets, table linen
and heavy blankets ere done more chcapiy
in public laundries then one cen do them
IN the home under any conditions.
Many women declare that the family
washing takes three days of their time
one day to get il ready and To do IT,
second day TO finish it up and start the
ironing and u third day in which TO re

keeper, in my hearing, that my family

Every city should own and operate n
municipal wash house. and washlngs

obliged to do her own work could patronlzc

DREAM.AND

Some one had read Tommie story
about the field mice and how they lived
in the little houses and cooked and baked
lust like big folks and how the corn elves
made the vegetables grow.
One dav Tommie found it too warm
to nun about and play, SO he went to
the hill beside the vegetable garden
and sat down under tree where it was
cool
A bee buzzed above Tommie's head and
a big flv hrnnmed near him and then
beautifully colorcd butterfly alighted
ON his knee. They are all right here,
the field mousc's house and the elves
and Bunny Rabbits house as we'll, y"
said the butterfly, and away she flew.
Tomnie looked after her, wondering
what she meant, but it was only second +
she was gone and when she returned She
had little fairy with her.
DO YOU wish to see the elves and
the home of the little field mice she
asked Tommie
YES, if YOU please, should very
much like to see them
You shall then, said the little fairy.

SENATE SETTLES
 THE POSTAGE RATE
REPEAL OF THE PRESENT ZONE RATE ON SECOND CLASS
 MAIL JULY 1.

Washington. Dec 19.-By adopting the finance committee amendments to inc war revenue bill affecting sec. ond class postage and insurance com lanies, the senate today cleared the way for disposal of the few other contested, but important features re- raining. Leaders now have increased confidence of passins the bill before adjournment next Monday
 By a vote of 3t to 22 the sena5e ap- proved the committee amendment proposing repeal next July 1 of the present zone system of second class postage rates and substitution of q rate of one cent per pound within 150 miles, and one and one-half cents he yond.
 Most of the day was spent in spir tied discussion of this amendment and one by Senator McKellar of Ten nessee, for a modified zone plan, which was rejected without roll call.
 The senate also approved the com. mittee plan fer new rates on casualty ire, marine and other insurance com panies, except life insurance.
 The rev rates, based on premium receipts, are. respectively; Insurance companies, 1 3-4 per cent; casualty, plate glass and similar companies. t D >o, nom. .-,d ,,,o orin. i n,, inland and l 9-4 per cent on export policies
 Disposal of these and many minor administrative and verbiase changes left virtually only the income, war oX- cess profits insurance and luxury tax sections to be considered
 A subsutute for the committees bill, proposing large tax increases, principally on big incomes and war excess profits. was introduced late today by Senator LaFollette of Wis. ccnsin, republican, who is expected to make lengthy address tomorrow m it's behalf Senator Jones of New Mexico, democrat, plans to advocate an amendment to continue war profits taxation through 1920 and Senator Thomas of Colorado, democrat. is eX- pected to propose elimination of the Inheritance tax provisions, with Sen ator Kenyon of Iowa and others pre- pared to urge reinsertion of the 20 ,,o. aaut t..- ,,, sIttNtttfau
 Besides these questions, that of pro- posing l9zO tax rates opposed by Fe- publcans. remains for disposition.

per cent and secure the bulk of in. dividuai income revenue from sur. taxes.
 From individual incomes Senator LaFollctte estimates that his bill would raise $t740O0,0OO. compared with SI,432 100000 estimated under inc pending measure
 In disposing of the miscellaneous provisions today, the senate adopted committee amendments to give mu. tual insurance companies the same tax privileges as life insurance com. panies, basiug their taxes on net in come instead O. on policies issued.

section today was regarded as rem0v' ing considerab ble obstacle from the bils path. Senators Hardwick of Georgia and McKellar of Tennessee led the fight on the committee amend ment, which was defended by Senator Shoot of Utah.
 On the roll call on a disposition of the amendment. thirteen democrats and twenty-one republicans support the new periodical rates, with fifteen democrats and seven republicans in opposition as follows:
 For adoption: Democrats-Fletch- CT Gerry, Henderson, Hitchcock, Jones of New Mexico, KendriclS. Mar. cin of Virginia, Pollock Ransdell, Summons. Smith of Maryland. Swan son and Underwood Total l3.
 Repubicans--Bo Borah Calder, Dill lingham, Fernald. France, Harding, Johnson Of California, Jones of Wash ington, Knox, Lodge, McC1mber, Mo' Clean, McNary, Moses. Page, Pen. rose, Poindexter, sherman. Shoot Spencer and Weeks. Total 21.

NINE FIRERIJNS
MADE PAST WEEK
Only Loss of This Number Of Blazcs
Was Negro Cabin With Hundred
Dollar Damage.

Last week was record breaking
week for some time for the local fire
fighters. Both companies responded
to nine calls up to Friday night, be-
ginning during the early part of the
week.
All Of the fires were Of minor i'm
portance, excepting the destruction Of
negro cabin, where the fire had got
t great head-way when the alarm
was turned in; the damage done this
horse would approximate 500. The
other blazes were caused from bad
fines and in some instances were
nothing more than plot of grass
burning,
The record here is said to be one
chronicled two years ago when there
we're twenty-one runs in twenty days
and 10 fires during this period.

CAN RELY ON PLANTERS.
Greenwood, Miss, Feb. 10, 1918

Editor The Commonwealth:
The few sunny days recently start
ed planters to cleaning up land, burn
ing logs and cutting stalks; while on
many plantations plowS were running.
All presenting very welcome, cheer
iig sights, as compared with the frozen
wintry desolation of the past few
dreary weeks. 1t is impossible to tell;
the planter scarcely knows himself
how much corn, or how much cotton
he will plant.
! notice that the papers predict
that high-priced cotton will be strong
incentive to a largely increased acre
age, which is of course true. Another
factor, too, is the loss Of many fields
of fall sown oats, killed by the severe,
continuous freezes. Some of this
acreage will be planted in spring oats,
but most Of it will 90 into corn or
cotton. Some newly cleared lands will
be put in cultivation--this acreage viii
go into corn.
Labor scarcity, too, will be fac
tor in regulating the proportion OF
acreage in our two leading crops
There are hundreds Of pigs in the
country for whose maintenance the
planter will provide. Not so many
potatoes, perhaps, will be planted as
last season, but thousands Of bushels
of seed have been bought. There are
in the stores and commissaries good
stocks Of garden seed, showing that
this important source Of food supply
will be looked after Aside from the
factor Of sclf-intarest, however, ou,
planters are as fully awake to pat
riotic sense Of duty and our country's
present needs as the men in the store
the Office, the mill or the workship
and they may be relied upon to dc
the right thing. s,

JOHN DULANEY TO DEPART.
Popular Young Attorney and Red
Cross Secretary a Selectman.

J. W. Dulaney, Jr., leaves some
time next week for Camp Pike, where
he will begin to serve his country as
selectman in military service.
Although Mr.. Dulaney has been re-
jected more than once when he vol
unteered his services to Uncle Sam,
the weight requirement has been low
cred and he recently qualified in the
examinations held here. He spent a
while at one of the officers training
camps before being rejected on ac-
count of his weight. He went to
Washington with good prospects of
being accepted, but was later reject
ed and finally he returned to Green
wood to settle down and do what he
could for Old Glory through his ac-
tive service rendered to the Lefore
Chapter, American Red Cross, as its
efficient secretary. In this work, Mr..
Dulaney has given a great deal of his
time; this time was taken away from
his personal law practice, but he new
er seemed to mind, and was active in
the duties of the Red Cross office
Mr.. Dulaney stated yesterday that
he was glad to go. He said that he
felt that the officials would keep him
"over there" this time and that an op-
portunity would be given him to do
his bit as a man in mans fighting
regalia for the country in its present
emergency.
Mr.. John Ashcraft has succeeded
him as secretary of the Red Cross
Chapter. Mr.. Ashcraft is a worthy
successor and will keep the work Of
the chapter at its present high stand
ard of efficiency.
