Conservation time is all the time
watch the old clothes.
Stockings Can Be Made Over.

War needs have brought out many
things, but perhaps the most odd. yet
useful, thing that has been thought of
is the use of old stockings. Formerly,
stockings that had been darned in the
foot few times were considered
worthless, but not 50 now. According
to the home economies department of
the agricultural extension department
of Iowa State college, old stockings
have many uses.
Perhaps we did use black stockings
for cleaning the stove or shining shoes
but who thought of making petticoats,
boomers or tights from discarded no.
siery? Children's stockings can be cut
from grown up peoples stockings, and
mittens mitten Innings and sleeve pro-
tectOrs can easily be made with little
ingenuity. Dustlcss mops and holders
.an be made. and when there seems
to be no other use for the stockings,
they make admirable rugs when sewed.
White stockings are also recommend
ed for their share of conservation. Baby
shirts. petticoats, panties and Sleep
ing garments can be put together from
old hosiery. Crib pads. wash cloths
and quilts are also possible to form
from stockings which we formerly
threw away.
White silk stockings have been
found especially adapted for making
into wear for the baby. Shirts, jack
cts and caps of good quality can be
made from the discarded silk. hose.
Mitten Innings, mufflers, hatbands and
even fancy bags can be put together,
and nobody IS the wiser If dainty
hand has been behind the needle which
worked for conservation.

Now Is a Good Pruning Time.

Fruit trees at this time of year are
waiting to be pruned. AS soon as the
weather is mild enough to go out i'll the
orchard, just that soon are the trees
ready to have the sick and diseased
areas removed and their frames put

mef.
One thing that should be remember
ed is the amount of disease which is
prevalent among orchards of the state
Whole orchards may be infected by
working with a tool that has become
infected by cutting into wound. There
fore it is important to disinfect the
tools. DO not be satisfied to clean the
tools once day, but be sure to have
them clean after each cut, so as to
avoid any possibility of spreading dis
ease, says the horticultural extension
department of Iowa State college.
When the weather is warm enough
for you. it is warm enough for the
trees. Get out and prune them before
something else turns up.

PARIS, July 15.-The foreign af-
fairs committee of the French sem
ate met today and named a sub-com
mittee to study the Treaty of Peace
with Germany. Leon Bourgeois will
draw up a general report and also
a special report on the League of
Nations. Others will submit special

July 29 has been fixed as the date
upon which representatives of Hol-
land and Belgium will meet dele
gates of the five great powers in
Paris and begin work on a revision
of the Treaty of 1899.
The Council of Five met this after
noon, its chief topic of discussion be-
ing the Russian blockade. There have
been proposals that the powers shall
allow ships to enter Russian ports un-
der special permits. The United
States had constantly insisted that
there has been no blockade against
Russia except such as is incidental tc
the embargo on imports to Germany.
Consequently American delegates
were not ready to take any action in
the matter until instructions had been
received from Washington.

SHEEHY BLANES
RE|DYFOR BILL
FROM JAN|TORS
Writes. Letter to Welcome
Home Committee Concern
ing School Janitors' Bill

In a letter from the president of
the board of education to Arthur E.
Graham, secretary of the Welcome
Home Celebration Committee the re-
cent bill of the, janitors for SIS for
moving chairs is shown in new
light John X. Sheehy, president OF
the board appears to throw the re-
sponsibility for the bill upon the
shoulders of Alderman Benjamin
Riedy and declares that the school
board and the janitors are equally
innocent.
The letter follows:
"Mr, Arthur e. Graham, Secretary,
.sWelcome Home Celebration Com
mittee,
Dear Sir:
II am in receipt of your letter of
July 18th in reference to the matter
of moving chairs to and from the
High Schol auditorium and l shall be
pleased to present the matter to the
board of education at the first regu-
lar meeting as you Asuggest. may
be able to give you some explanation
of this mater that your committee
does not understand.
'sThe school janitors, I feel, are alb
solutely innocent in this matter and 1t
would seem that lack of PATRIOTISM
was shown from another direction.
Your committee asked for the use OF
the chairs. This request was granted
They had the chairs moved from the
building and we naturally supposed
the same agency would return them'
since no request was made by the
committee to have the school janl-
tors take the chairs back to the audi
torium. -,
The chairs were left out of doors all
night, and the following morning,
Mr.. Gano reported to me that he
asked the assistant street commits
sioner if his men were going to re-
turn the chairs and he said his men
would not return them unless they
were paid time and a half for the
work.
.'When Mr.. Gano reported this to
me, I gave him instructions to get
the school janitors from the other
buildings and put the chairs back IN
the building. While they were per-
forming this work, Alderman Rieoy
happened along and he told Mr.. Gano
to send bill to him and he would
see that the boys were paid for
their trouble. You will readily see
that the school board was absolutely
innocent of any part in this matter,
and the school janitors equally as
innocent.
Every sincerely,
"(Signed) John K. Sheehy.
When Mayor Dorsey heard of the
exclamation that had been offered by
the president of the board of educa-
tion. he said, alderman Riedy is not
even a member of the committee. i
am sure that / don't know where he
gets his authority to have this bill
sent in"
