Points to 10 Considered
The kitchen, as we'll as all other
rooms in the farmhouse, should be
SO located with reference to the barn
and other outbuildings that winds
will not bring unpleasant doors or
flies from them. Also, If possible,
it should be in a part of the. house
where dust will not be blown through
the open windows and doors from the
road. Seeding bare ground around
the kitchen and making the neces-
sary paths of cement or some SINH
lar permanent material viii lalso keep
much dust from being blown and
carried into the kitchen as well as
make the view more attractive. A

CITY TOBORROW

TAKE UP OVERDRAFT I

The city administration will offer for
sale $500,000 in short term notes at
once, with the proceeds of which an
overdraft which comes from the out
going administration will be paid, and
the remainder will be used in taking
care of January expenditures.
The exact figures of the overdraft
have not been made public, but it is
around S350,000 to 100000,
This does not necessarily mean that
the former administration did any poor
financing, but Is an annual occurrence
because of the fact that while the city's
fiscal year runs from January to jan
uary the taxes are collected usually
during July and August. and the city
consequently for years has been bor-
rowing from half a million to a million
dollars during the first half of each
year, in anticipation Of the tax pay
ments. The notes will be advertised
at once. The ordinance authorizing a
total issue Of $1,000, 900 has been passed.

s-----a-----.
Million Gallons Of Molasses at
New Orleans Bound for
Memphis.

A 100000 gallon cargo of black
strap molasses, loaded in one of the
largest tankships owned by the Sugar
Products company Of New York is in
New Orleans with 81 shipment consigned
to the l.. ]. Nessly company of Mem
phis, distributors for the company in
this territory,
Believing that the recent high stage
of the Mississippi river was sufficient
to carry any of their boats direct to
Memphis, the company started one of
their largest boats with the first cargo,
but when the river fell suddenly it was
thought advisable not to attempt the
upriver rip with so large a boat so the
molasses will be towed to this city in
tank barges.
The steamboat John Moren recently
purchased at st. Louis by the Sugar
Products company, has reached Cairo
on its way to New Orleans, with two
new steel ocean going barges, The
barges are 60 feet wide and $50 feet
long with capacity of 500, 900 gallons
each. The molasses will be transferred
to these barges and towed to the Mem
phis distributing plant
The company has ocean going ships
that Will navigate the Mississippi river
at any stage, and the second cargo will
be made in one of the vessels that can
make the trip from Cuba directly to
Memphis without the use Of barges
There has been some little delay in
the work at the local distributing sta
tion but the plant is now rapidly near
ing completion and win be ready to re-
ceive the first shipment of molasses
