Why the Electric Cleaner

There is really no comparison
between the ease aud thorough
ness with which an Electric
Cleaner removed dirt and the
difficulty of sweeping.
True, one CAN clean rugs aud
carpets without an electric
cleaner. A broom OF carpet
sweeper will brush up SOME
OF the dirt, aud II YOU like the
exercise aud have plenty oftime
and strength a broom and carp
ct heater will do the work after
fashion.
In the same way one can
wash without soap, Water a.
lone will remove some dirt II
applied with enough elbow
grease. ~
But people use soap because
It cleans more easily and better
than water alone.
For the same reason people
use Electric Cleaners because
they clean more easily aud far
better than other methods,

jefferson Highway in Rapides Parish
Will be Built.

] VIII pc bullt.
Alexandria, La. July IA. 1890
Mr.. j. w. Duncan, President
Chamber of Commerce, Col
fax, Louisiana.
My Dear Mr.. Duncan:
At a meeting of the board Of
directors of the Alexandria Cham.
Der of Commerce. held on Mon.
day night, the 18th instant, Mr..
Cook and Mr.. Shumake, mem
bers of the board, stated that
there was some uneasiness on
the part of the Colfax people
that we would not build our end
of the Jefferson Highway in this
parish.
| remember that when we were
in Colfax. some time in February,
that we assured you at that time
that the road would be built. If
/ am not mistaken / think / gave
you a copy of our Good Road
ordinance, which shows conclu-
sively that a certain sum of mon
ey had been appropriated in our
bond issue for this road, and
there was no question but what
it would be built.
At our meeting on Monday
night Mr.. Sylvester, parish road
engineer, was present and reiter-
ated the statement made to you
in February, that the road would
be built. Mr.. Sylvester stated
that the delay had been due to
a lack of force in the State High
way Department. which as you
know, has charge of this partic-
ular piece of work. Mr.. Sylves-
ter assured us that the survey of
this road had already been made,
and within 80 days bids would be
advertised for, and that within
60 days the road would be under
contract.
Now, please assure your people
that there is absolutely no truth
in the rumor that this road will
not be built. 1t has simply been
subject to some unavoidable de-
lays. and you must know that
that portion of the bond issue
voted for roads, was appropri-
ated for that particular road and
none other, and can be used for
no other purpose. We will ap-
preciate it if you will assure your
people in regard to this matter,
and that any rumOrs to the con-.
trary are certainly without foun-
dation.
With best wishes | am,
Yours very truly,
A. I. FELT,
General Sec'y,
+ AleXand. Chmbr. Commerce.

Have You Joined
The American Cotton
Association?

yOu SOilS W w ny IilC hiiiCl iSdll
Cotton Association? Now that
this great crusade is on are you
going to help or are you going to
fight this righteous movement?
Or will you remain a passive
creature and let the greatest
movement that ever began in
Dixie fail for the lack of realiza-
ton. The only force that can
lift the South to its just position
of wealth and glory? Don't you
know that with more money COM
ing into the South, as a result of
q better price for our cotton and
the savings heretofore lost in
country damage, numerous sam
pings and incorrect grading,
that all of us are going to like
wise prosper? Don't you see
that it will benefit you and me,
our town and our parish? Re-
member that the profits of cot
ton have been enormous. These
profits have helped to enrich New
England: they have contributed
to that sections wealth; they
have helped build their fine col
leges,. their schools, and their
universities; these profits are
represented in their splendid
roads and their costly and pal
atial homes. What have the
profits of cotton done for the
South? Remember too that SOON
er or later we are going to have
to depend on our agriculture.
Our lumber will be gone and then
it will be to our advantage to
have our agricultural interests
highly developer. Our agricul-
ture must maintain our cities
and towns and communities here
after. Remember the fruit
growers of California are organ
lied and they are prosperous and
the section of the country is pros
porous; the wheat growers are
united together for a common
purpose and today they live in
comfortable homes and enjoy the
Injuries of life; the tobacco grow
err, once a struggling farmer. re-
siding in a dilapidated and mis-
cradle shack, is today a prosper
GUS man. with a good home, good
barns, good schools and church
es, good roads and money in his
bank. II there was ever time
in the history of the South that
we should band together for the
whole South's good, now is the
time, and now is the opportunity
for the men of Grant parish to
an everlasting service to
themselves and to posterity.
Think this over and join the
American Cotton Association TO-
day. The following men and
institutions of Grant parish have
taken the lead in this righterous

Hail to Uowly and Sticky Molasses
From it is being produced mo
tor alcohol" "a substitute for
gasoline.
Discovered by ]. P. Foster,
chemist Of one of the big sugar
plantations on the island of>Maui,
Hawaii. Production within the
next three months will be suffi-
Gent to furnish fuel for all cars
on the island should a gasoline
shortage occur.
According to the first reports
of the new fuel, brought to San
Francisco by district Manager F.
E. Carroll of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company of Cali
fornia, motor alcohol" gives
more power. greater mileage,
easier starting and more freedom
from carbon than gasoline. 1t
can be used without an adjust
ment of the carburator.
The new fuel is performing in
automobile, marine, stationary,
truck and tractor engines. In a
SO hour test made with a rs
horsepower tractor the consump-
ton of motor alcohol" was four
gallons an hour compared to four
and a half gallons of gasoline in
the same engine on the same
work. Examination of the cyl
inders showed most of the old
carbon deposit removed and the
remainder so soft it could be re-
moved with the fingers.
Sugar plantations have been
letting their molasses run to
waste or burning it for the potash
recovery. Nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid are also valuable by
products of molasses. Now.
however, productions of the new
fuel is found to be more profitable
than obtaining other by-products.
At present there is enough mo-
lasses available to produce
8, 600, 600 gallons of motor alco-
hol"- enough to supply all the
automobiles in Hawaii. Develop
ment of this industry will release
shipping space formerly used for
transporting gasoline from the
United States.

to vote in the primary OF party to

lenged: he may be required TO make an

dictate that he did not act in good faith,
he will Be subject to indictment.
During every primary We have heard
stories OF members Of one party or the
other planning to vote in a particular
party primary for the purpose OF In
fiusncing It's results. Most often this
has been only talk. Perhaps that is all
that It amounts to at the present time.
