Persian rugs have a closer relation
ship to religion than have the Chinese.
| Wherever a Mohammedan stops, there
he spreads his rug and bows to the
east. Quotations from their religious
belief are woven into every rug. Many
people are prejudiced against the hi
lnese encroaching on the long estab-
lished favor of the Persians. There
lis much to be said on both sides,
though here the Oriental deserves a
word on the painstaking care that
should be exercised in their care and
cleaning. While practically inde-
structible if propo Y. cleaned, they
can be reduced to ~lreds in a short
time il left to the care of irresponsible
or ignorant persons.
Some decorators are advocating en-
tire carpets of solid color, overlaid
with small rugs Others are just as
firm for the polished floors with small
or room size rugs, so it is just as well
to use ones own Judgment. Rugs Tor
bedrooms pronounce the deepest note
of the predominant color used in dec
Grafton. Chenille rugs are being used
again, in new and very pretty weave
There are being shown this fall some
very beautiful and reasonable priced
rugs in linen fiber. One L have in
mind is a soft grey, with a grey and
blue striped border, sprinkled with
Fmauve and lavendar morning glories.
Hand woven rugs Of every descrip-
ton offer an opportunity for original
ity An interesting revived style is
the burlap rug, interlined, and backed
with coarse muslin, and decorated
with border Of cross stitch, and gay
colored baskets of the same pattern.
Bureau rugs in two colors may be
crocheted, as well as oddly shaped
ones for special corners. Bathroom
mats crocheted Of carpet warp, and
bedside rugs made of tops from silk
hose are useful and artistic, not to
speak of economical which is indi-
cative of great virtue nowadays.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES VERSUS
AMERlcAN-GERMANs

In every community where there are
a lot Of people of German blood it is
probable that there are some Of the
older folks who cannot get their war
ideas on straight, but Carroll county
not only gave one Of the first boys to
lose his life. in this war. but they have
been doing their part in all of the war
activities. We don't believe in excus-
ing half heartedness or luke-warm pa
triotism and we don't do it, but It is
undoubtedly true that the stories about
\ Carroll and Carroll county have been
unjust and untrue. Just because there
are a lot of Americans there OF Ger
man blood is no reason to believe evil.
AS the Bulletin has remarked before,
we have little to fear from the average
German American, but much from
those occasional residents Of every
county who are simply too selfish to
do their part.-Sac City Bulletin.
We endorseall Of the above about
German Americans, but how about the
American Germans? We mean by
this those who are enjoying all the
rights and privileges Of America, but
who do not give all movements IN
tended for the good Of our country,
their hearty support.
1t is proper to say nice things OF
the people Of Carroll county as a
whole, but it would be a trif1e strong
I to say they were all 100 per cent
Americans. We have been told by a
number of German-Americans OF
K Carroll county that there are a few
living in that county who are really
huns, and they have suggested that
the disloyal ones be interned. Don't
understand us to insinuate that there
Is hun in every woodpile.
There is work to be done at home
as well as in Europe, Don't let us be
like Nero and ! be caught "fiddling
while Rome burns" We should not
lend the attentive ear to every silver
tongued orator who is over jealous
in creating peace and brotherly love
at home.
Many may cry peace, peace, but
there will be no peace, unless we are
all of one opinion. We should not
stir up needless strife, or make OBJ
position where there is none, but let
us get busy and separate the goats
from the sheep. Even a few black
sheep amongst a large flock Of white
ones is repulsive to the eye at least.
Let US assert our rights and not make
excuses for declaring that we are OPP
posed to anything that is not.unques-
tionably American.
IL it hurts the tender feelings OF
the foreigners at this time for us to
declare our loyalty to the dear old
flag, he is not one of us. This is a
time when all men should stand up
and be counted; they are either for
or against US. If they are for us we
are for them, but if they are not for
us we are against them. We care
not where they were born nor Of what
nationality they may have been, there
is but one question for all and that is,
are you an American now? Those
who are not might be made to under
stand that the cherished hopes of the
kaiser to make this German colony
I'd numbered with the things that were.
This is America for the Americans
only, and unless they can become real
Americans they will find that this
country will not tolerate them. Wall

fineness of imagination and treat
ment that is vertiable joy.
The quaint, boldly designed figures
which are only amusing to the Occi-
dental mind, have deep meanings to
the Chinese. The signs OF the knot,
umbrella, twin fishes, lotus, ETC., all
show how the doctrines of their re-
ligion have affected their arts. The
pine signifies long life, the duck hap
by family relations, and so on through
numberless symbols. The majority
Of us cannot afford to use the real

NJ: Z. From Pulp Mills.


The world is using tremendous
amount of trinitrotoluol, the high ex-
ploslye Of this war. In fact the sup
plies Of toluol are in some danger
Of running short. What the Germans
VIII do about it is not known. but the
allies are turning to the Canadian pulp
factories employing the sulphite proc
ess. -
1t appears that the turpentine from
snruce is easily saved at the mills,
and can be readily converted into
toluol.
Since gallon of turpentine per cord
Of wood is possible by-product
and S. per barrel is paid for It, there
will be some little increase in revenue
for the pulp makers, and the armies
will be enabled to keep on with their
good work of defeating the enemy.

INEXPENSIVE IDEAS IN RUGS.

:, While the aim of this brief theme
will be to suggest new or revived ideas
in moderate priced rugs, there might
just as well be no article as to re-
frain from a limited description of the
Chinese floor coverings and the in
fluence their introduction has had on
home decorations. II we must use
domestic rugs, we at least want to
know what other rugs are doing The
art of the Chinese along this line has
found remarkably appreciative audi
ence in America. The colors Of the
old temple rugs are so marvelously
lovely that once they are placed in a
room, be it ever SO beautifully ap-
pointed, they demand complete
change of color scheme. Though
many of the old and rare ones are
woven of coarse materials, they have

above zero at sunrise, ana the suns

that set the water running from the
roofs and in sheltered places on the
highways and sidewalks. There was
real warmth in the sunshine and it
settled the snow to no slight degree

Soap should be used very carefully
If YOU want to keep your hair locking

shampoos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle,

better than the most expensive soap or
ANYTHING else you can use.

the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it

Partisan sage is a most efficient hair
grower, but to Immediately stop any
