STRETCHING STOCKING SERVICE

Every family collects . good many
stockings, the legs Of which are good
while the feet are completely worn
out. Here are several ways Of using
the legs, and thereby getting every
bit Of good from what is too often
considered as worthless:
Take the ones that are the most
worn and frayed, cut open and stitch
several Of them together on the sew
ing machine to form good-sixed dust
CLOTH. Add . tablespoon Of kerosene
to q quart Of hot water; dip the dust
cloths in this and hang ON the. clothes
line without /wringing them. Let dry
and you will have most excellent
chemical duster which can be washed
and renewed as often as desired.
In cleaning . black wool or serge
skirt with gasoline, use an old black
stocking leg to rub the soiled spots.
There will Be no linz left on the goods
~ is often the case when other cloth
ID used.

Dear folks:-
Your ever welcome letter was re-
ceived this week, and will try and
answer it tonight while have few
minutes to spare.
I had the loveliest time Wednesday
afternoon at Mrs. Elmer Wiley's card
party. She entertained in honor Of
Mrs. A. Lejune, of Pitkin. Mrs. E. E.
Mueller and Mrs. John A. Steele won
the prizes. Mrs. Wiley will have an
other card party at her home tomor-
row. On Wednesday she invited a
number of little folks to keep company
with little Marie Lejune and they had
as much fun as us grown-ups.
We are having lovely weather so far.
Goodnessi can't hear myself think
Jack is reading aloud to the children.
My big boy likes to hear his father
read, although he does not understand
one-haf of it. Just now, he is read
ing yarn about the big merchants
in Denver boycotting the daily papers
because the papers refused to accept .
thirty per cent reduction In advertis-
ing space rates. may be foolish, but
! always read the advertisements in
our home paper first. They are al
ways interesting and 1t is nice way
to go shopping, and does not cost any
thing.
Too bad your husband couldn't get
that appointment. Jack did not try
for any here, as it would have been
useless. All the new court house Of
ficials had their assistants picked
out. Sheriff Wiley still retains his
fnrvnor don,,tv NJ naor;u0 ond
Carey Partch is now under sheriff.
The new county clerk, John Brothers
has appointed H. o. Barrett as deputy,
and ]. d. Parsons Jr. as clerk. The
retiring clerk, s., p. Spencer, has held
the office for eight years. Our new
coroner is Jerry O'Reagan, who sue
ceeds w. s Rainbow.
! heard this afternoon that Mrs.
Martenis lost her suit against the D.
L. & G. railroad. She sued the road
for the death Of her husband, who was
killed in-the Alpine tunnel three years
ago. A. Lejune, Ernest Miller and
Elmer England had to go to Denver as
witnesses in the case, before the feder-
al court. She sued for 5000.
That reminds me that the long
standing litigation suit on the Mann
moth Chimney and Good Hope mines
at Vulcan, was settled yesterday b.
r. d. Wallace, represented by J. A
Himebaugh, purchasing the remain.
ing one-fourth interest Of Andy Sche6
Work will start on these mines Mon
day.
Jack is now reading something about
the Hawaiian treaty being seriously
