Romance of Cotton.

The report that cotton has been dis
covered growing wild, in what was be-
lieved to be an Australian desert,
opens vast possibilities of new for
tunes. The history of cotton is strewn
with FL Dorados-eNcept for some of
those inventors whose ingenious ma
chimes of the eighteenth century. have
made riches for modern Lancashire.
Arkwright is the most conspicuous in
stance of reward following merit Most
of them, like Hargraves, died in pow
erty. 1t is only in our own ti:aes that
vast fluctuations in the pr'te of cot
ton have taken. place, and that. of
course. is due to the amazing ingenui-
ty of the men who made the human
like machines that now do the work
of thousand men. When machinery
was first applied in Britain one of
these more fortunate inventors boast
ed that he had reduced the price of a
specially fine kind of cotton from 500
to 81 for a quantity sufficient to make
a lady's dress. We need him now.

irkutsk, Metropolis of Siberia, "Forty
Hours From Anywhere" Remark

lrkutsk is 40 hours from anywhere,
hsuratively; five days from Petro-
grad, literally, in the best of times,
ana much further, in fact, from the
RUSSIAN capital than is San Francisco
from New York. The Siberian metrop-
olls, too far removed to suffer more
IMAM pin pricks from the world war,
nnally fell to the bolsheviki.
Among Siberian cities, Irkutsk is
noted for its churches, orphanages,
hospitals, schools, observatories and
museums Gen. A w. Greedy wrorte

beautiful homes, and is given to lavish
hospitality, while its extended bust

Guiding telephony and efficient fire

ut must be added that it has in
summer nearly impossible streets,
that the prevalence of unpublished
crimes is notorious, while it is said
by free-speaking Russians that the In
efficiency of the police is only sur
passed by the corruption of its Off

The 'city's normal population is about
that of Omaha, Neb.. according to a
bulletin of the National Geographic
society, which adds:
''Irkutsk had its beginning from the

Baltic Sea Leads in Amber.

The principal source of the amber

this district constituted the "Kimber-

Why Do We Dream?

We often dream about what has oc-
cupied our thoughts during the day;
If we think deeply just before falling
asleep, our thoughts are bound to
color our dream. But many people
dream of things that they have GER
tainly not been thinking about, so
thoughts are not always the cause.

Corner

To keep flies from gilt frames
boil three or four onions in a pint
of water and apply mixture with a
soft brush.
When wash water is muddy fill a
large barrel with it and add gal
Ion of ashes. Let it stand about
four hours when water will clear.
Save paper bags, fill them with
chips, tie them shut and store them
in the woodshed. This is a clean,
easy way to use them for starting
fires and saves buying kindling
wood.
Select solid potatoes, free from
dampness and dirt. Put layer of
dry ashes in box or barrel, then a
layer of sweet potatoes, alternating
in like manner until the receptacle
is full. If put in a warm, dry
place they will keep all winter.
To keep mice from getting into
dresser drawers tack a piece of
screen under the bottom drawer
extending up the back. They can
not get into the dresser at all this
way.
When dying wash goods in boil
ing dye, remove goods from dye
bath to kettle of strong salt
| water and boil for half hour.
This will set the color so it will not
stain OF wash out.
Buy a small bottle of oil of cedar
from the druggist, roll cotton into
tiny balls and saturate the balls
with oil. Run a tack through each
and tack in two or three places in
piano, organ, davenport, linen or
clothes presses, or anywhere that
moth or insects appear. This will
last three or four months; then re-
oil or make new balls, always tack
ing them where they will not be
seen.
Cornstarch makes an excellent
powder for baby since it does not

the added advantage of being less
expensive than talcum or face
