never guess how. But it wasn't serious
trouble. 50 we are going to make the
story short.
Their good mother, Mrs. Effie l..

home she counted up and found she
had missed seeing four copies Of the
Banner. ! Where are the Banners you
saved for me? she asked the boys.
But they couldn't say, for they hadn't
saved them. Then she did what Il good

History Of Banks Chapel

Many readers of the Banner are famil-
inr with the little white church known
as Banks Chapel, situated beside the
old Cottage Grove Cemetery, and the
following historical sketch may prove
interesting to a few Of them:
During the year 1861 Rev. a. Il.
Banks. formerly Of the Arkansas Ona-
chit; I'resbytery, took charge of the
Rocky Mount Church. and ab0nt two
years after was duly called and INSTALL
ed their pastor. As part Of the cOngre-
Cation resided iii the vicinity of Cottage
Grove and Wfight's Chapel. an ar
lalngeilient was made for Rev. Banks
to preach twice a month ut the latter
place. IDtlring 1878 this church was
moved to 9ollinslurg by the Methodist
brethren. who claimed 1t, and thus left
without church. the congregation con-
tinueti to hold services in the Cottage
Grove Academy, which was kindly ten
dered for their use They worshipped
there until the new church was COM
pleted- alsont half mile from the site
Of Wriglit's Chapel and the same dis
lance from the site Of Cottage Grove
Academy. alongside the old Cottage
Grove Cemetery and some fifty Or
eighty steps from tile main road.
This church was organized June 10,
1850. Tie committee appointed by the
Red RIVER Presl,ytery consisted of Rev.
w. G. Dunlap, Rev. 4. Il. Banks and
Elder 4. 4. Lyon. They, met at the
Cottage Grove Church and, after a
sermon appropriate to the occasion. by
Rev. Dunlap. proceeded with the orgslll-
ization. Thirty four names; were enroll

Famous BattlefieldS

Leading to the historic sun-dial in
his garden in Germantown, Philadel-
phia, Charles F. Jenkins has two path
ways of stepping stones to each of
which history attaches.
On the left, in the historical way"
are stones from the scenes of the bat-
tie of Germantown, from the Brandy
wine battlefield, from Cen. Wolfe's
rocky pathway to the plains of Abra-
ham at Quebec, from the homes of
William Penn and Anthony Wayne,
from Valley Forge and Washington's
headquarters at Chadds Ford, from the
site of Americas first paper mill, built
by Rittenhouse, near the Wissahic-
kon, and from other spots round which
associations thickly cluster.
On the other side of the dial is the

finds he had 12S ancestors here be-

Spring Treatment for HardwoodaFioors

The displacement of the old tackled
down carpet as floor covering Gre
ated a new standard in floors. Not
many years ago the carpet was a
part of the decorative scheme of the
room. Now rugs play the part, but
not entirely; the floor itself must fur
nish an artistic background.
AS a natural consequence, this de-
mands that the floor receive the same
care and treatment as the furniture,
and the woman who does not neglect
it has a real setting for the home
beautiful.
If new floors are being finished
great care should be taken that the
natural beauty of the wood is not
subdued, but rather intensified, and
yet so mellowed that the furniture
will almost be mirrored therein. 1t
should also have hard, protective
covering that will preserve the wood
from scratches and wear. And last
but most important, it should be
floor that can be easily taken care
of of and not add to the complexity of
modern housekeeping.
Giving a Floor Good Start
If you are fortunate enough to have
hand in the finishing of new floors,
consider it a privilege. First the
floor should be scraped and sandpa-
pered perfectly smooth and cleal
Then apply wood fillcr"-a paste
is preferable to liquid. After the
| filler has been smoothed off and al.
lowed to dry for about "a hours, ap-
ply thin coat Of wax. This is ap-
piled in the following manner: Place
a goodly quantity between two or
more thicknesses of cheesecloth, form
ing a sort of bag. Then allow the
wax to work through thc meshes CT
the cloth as it passes over the fool,
thus insuring thin, even coat. AL
low this to dry about 10 minutes. Rub
to a polish yith clean soft cloth
or with brick with cloth wrapped
around it. Polish first across the
gran of the wood, and then with it, in
an hour or two second coat SHOULD
be applied in a similar manner.
Be sure to get wax that brings
out the natural beauty OF the grain
iof the wood without changing the
color Of the floor If the wood is
light, however, and you prefer it a
darker shade, stain the floor to the
desired shade after the filler is ap,
piled. A thin coat of wood alcohol
shellac should be applied over the
stain to act as binder. Then when
the shellac has thoroughly dried, ap-
ply the wax as directed.

Your Ironing Board

Did it ever occur to you that a
well-equipped laundry is one of the
surest instruments toward having
careful laundry work? In fact, it has
been known to happen that a thor
oughly efficient laundres3 ceased to
work for one woman because she had
a badly covered ironing board and
went to work for another woman who
was very particular to see that there
was always the wherewithal to keep
the ironing board in the pink Of con-
dition.
The honors seem to be about
divided between the plan Of using old
sheets for ironing board covers or
buying new material for that purpose
If you get new material. select un-
bleached muslin. The board should be
well padded with felt before putting
on the cover, and this may be fastened
by tacking it along the back if you
wish, although this method has the
disadvantage when you want to re
move the cover to wash it that it must
be untacked. And, of course, the cover
should be washed frequently If you
want your clothes to be spotless.
Some housewives make ironing
board covers and sew heavy snappers
to them with corresponding parts of
the snappers attached to the felt on
the board so that the cover may be
quickly taken off and put on again.
Here is an old fashioned rule for
making a cover for ironing board:
Pad board smoothly, bringing pad
ding over small end of board and
tack securely. Some articles are more
easily ironed if just slipped over the
small end of the board. Cut muslin
the shape and length Of board, al
lowing enough to bring over edge
and under about three inches. Then
take piece about IL inches long
and cut to fit small end of board,
allowing for thickness OF board and
seam. This is for the bottom. Sew
to top, turn seam in and you have a
slip which will fit snugly over the
