A couple Of our lady readers who
became interested in the article pub
lished in last weeks News-C Champion
on the removal of stains from cloth
ing, have asked US il ink stains can be
removed by the remedies given last
week. We are not sure about the mat
ter, but the following article publish
ed in the Agricultural College News
Notes has q bearing on the case and
we are herewith publishing it SO that
It may be of help to those interested.
Ink stains are mostl y dark, to be
sure, but the mystery surrounding
their removal need not be. For each
and every one there is q simple
homeopathic remedy. Some go the
soap and water route, some the way
Of lemon juice; and still others take
the milky way.
With few common household rea-
gents, the housewife is equipped for
winning fight against the versatile
enemy. Her chief weapons are lemon
juice, common table salt, Ivory soap,
oxalic acid and Javelle water. The
last named is an invaluable adjunct
TO the laundry room for many pur-
poses. It is rather expensive II pur-

We hear a great deal nova days
about the shortage of print paper. A
wall, loud and long goeth up from
every printing house in the land.
Manyare the schemes for lessening
paper waste and conserving the al
ready too small supply TO be had.
We can't help but wonder to ourselves
IL the shortage couldn't be consider
able lessened and the expense Of BE-
curing it cut down IL certain magazine
writer's would only clay Off on their
advice to women. Ye gods! Some Of
the advice and suggestions given the
gentle sex through certain magazines
is to make one weep. We have in mind
q certain publication which undertook
to educate the female Of the species
during the recent war, in the proper
way to conduct her household and
feed the family, at the same time do
ing her best to "win the war"
We don't remember the exact word
ing Of the article in question, but it
was on the subject of economical
cooking. always buy the cheaper
cuts of meat, they contain a great deal
OF nourishment and are just as tasty
and appetizing as the more expensive
cuts" said the writer of the article.
The writer then went on to explain
how to cook the cheaper cuts" and
after we had figured It out we came
to the conclusion that the amount Of
fuel expended in cooking the meat
was three times more than the meat
was worth.
On the same page with the above
mentioned write-up was long yarn
by another writer giving the women
Of the nation the merry hello for
burning up SO much fuel-coal and
wood. The writer blamed the high
cost OF coal on the women-yes- sir-eel
1t was all their fault. They insisted
on keeping a FIRE going all day just
to cook piece Of meat and make it
Ia ste fancy and different" To be
sure it might have been one of the
cheaper cuts" his brother writer
paraded in his article.
And 20 it goes. One writer insists
that the women Of the land should do
this, that and the what-do- ou-call-it,
when up pops another writer who M
sists that we do nothing Of the kind.
Last week we read lengthy yarn
IN . certain publication devoted( ~ 70

writer wept over the awful plight of
farm women and their complexions.

You depend on all the while.
Not the friends you'll meet tomorrow
Or the friends Of pomp and style.
When you're up against q battle,

It's the old friends who are with you
For they always back you up.
You don't have to turn to see them:
You'll just know that they are there,
They follow where you're going
And they are with you everywhere;
You can center your attention
On the work you have to do,
For you know should danger threatea
That your friends are back Of you.
Afraid! 70 forward bravely,
You don't have 70 fight alone.
There are good friends glad to follow
They'll make their presence known.
Tho the throng grow thick about you,
And your faith is sorely tried,
Friends are coming up behind you
And they'll battle at your side.
The new friends may desert you,
But the old friends never do.
They'll share in every danger
And they'll gladly see you thru.
You can face the world undaunted,
You can fight when foes attack;
And bank on the assurance
That your friends are at your back.

More Cotton to the Acre.


Producing two and two-thirds bales of cot
ton to the acre on a five-acre block is rather
respectable piece of work as compared to
the general average, and the announcement
of such an achievement should be sufficient
to make the average cotton farmer aspire to
bigger things. Indeed, it should stimulate
an interest in bigger yields on all acres
planted to cotton hereafter, and it will GER
tainly stand as a reminder of possibilities.
J. o. NJ Smith, of Commerce, Georgia,
responding to an offer of prizes made by
the Farm Journal entered the cotton grow
ing contest. From his record we Judge
that he must have entered in earnest. When
eall of the figures were in Mr.. Smiths yield
of 1,36O29 pounds to the acre on his five
acre plot, totaling 1876 bales topped off all
records with BAT pounds of margin be-
tween him and his closest competitor, Mr.
S. W. White, of Sumter, South Carolina,
who came forward with an average of L.
1875 pounds of lint cotton to the acre, or
Ia yield of 11.75 bales on his five-acre patch.
Just how profitable these yields would
have been had they not won prizes we do
not yet know, but they serve the splendid
purpose of demonstrating the cotton pro-
ducing capacity of southern soils, and from
this viewpoint alone are of great value.
When we consider that the average yield of
cotton per acre in the south for the past
year was 1882 pounds of lint, or 1000
pounds below the average of the three lead
ing contestants in the above named con-
test, 1t is easy to see that these men have
set high mark, one that will perhaps never
be reached on the average, but one that fur
nishes a contrast that serves to emphasize
the ridiculously low average yield of the
present.
If production per acre is increased as it
should be there will be more and more land
available for pastures and other purposes,
and cotton will become more and more
strictly surplus crop, and therefore money
crop in the real sense of the word. The
policy for 1920 should be a larger yield per
acre with fewer acres Ito make certain their
proper handling), with plenty of acres plant
ed to food and feed crops. Then whatever
the situation is at selling time this fall there
will be little or no distress.

CT AIMS AND FACTS.

Friends of presidential candidates are
claiming for them more delegates than have
been instructed for them. Already these
rival claims in the aggregate are greater
than the number of delegates elected, even
after eliminating the uninstructed Evil
IDENTIFY many delegates are being counted
twice, the result being more or less confus-
ing to the public mind.
The facts are there are more uninstructed
delegates than there are instructed-two
to one While some uninstructed delegates
may favor this candidate or that they may
not continue to do so. At any moment cir
cumstances may arise that will cause them to
prefer some candidate not having many in
structed delegates, or some man not yet
mentioned as a candidate. In this political
game the bluff called may result in a gen.
uine surprise.
Should candidate controlling a majority
of the delegates, instructed or uninstructed,
enter either national convention he might
not secure its nomination There are many
possibilities in this direction when the cards
are finally laid on the table, so there's no
betting on "sure thing at either Chicago
or San Francisco.
Speculation had best be based on facts
rather than on claims, and more effort should
be made to learn the facts than to get the
claims. When this is done intelligent opin-
ion may be formed as to the advantage pos
sessed by this candidate or that, but not till
then.

MULISHNESS.
From the New York Tribune.

The mule overdoes his cantankerousness,
and it took a world war to bring to public
notice the hero stuff in his much maligned
nature But let no one escape the fact that
certain amount of mulishness is good for
every one; and that there are times and
places when nothing else will fill the bill.
1t is all very we'll to be sweet and polite
and graceful, but there come sour and rude
and Grass occasions when only mean and
bony actions can prevail War, for example.
Any hard, uphill job in ones life, for an
other. For such episodes the mule sets a
perfect example. 1t is of the essence of
mulishness to be calm and cool, to do the
work in hand up to the last ounce of energy
in one, to ignore everybody and everything
in the way. Keep going, and let the other
fellow look out!
Could the great American people stand
little more mulishness in their makeup as
an antidote to their obvious good nature?
We think they could, and we are glad to see
in the present uphill era of strikes and high
price is distinct signs that mulishness is wax
ing steadily in the American character. Be
sweet and kind to the outlaw striker, ad-
vses the uplift radical. Strive to please
him, get out of his way and don't annoy
him, whatever you do. Against which ad-
vice we bespeak our preference for little
more mulishness-a willingness to set our
teeth and get our back up and do it our
selves for the rest of time, if necessary,
gosh ding it.
