POTATO SHIPMENT

All farmers that have Irish po-
tatoes and desire to ship same, please
notify me of the amount that you
desire to ship. 1t will be necessary
for me to have this information be-
fore planning a shipment. Irish po-
tatoes are very high at this writing,
but, as rule, the market begins to
break frome this time on. Thers-
fore the sooner we get the potatoes
on the market the more money we
will get for them.

MARKET NOTES

Cattle and hog markets are eX-
tremely low at this writing. South
ern hogs will net from to 12A
cents. We have a top around lac.
At the present prices of hogs it is
impossible to feed $3.50 corn and
make any money. There is no doubt
but what hogs will work higher this
fall. I believe it will be advisable to
arrange to have some hogs for mar
ket this fall We are going to give
you an opportunity of shipping your
stock each month. Cattle market is
extremely low. At this writing can
ners and cutters will range from

OIL FIELD NEWS
FROM KINDS CO. DISTRICT

There is some real drilling in prog
ress now at Elton where some days
ago a shaft for an oil we'll was erected
and the indications are that territory
will have thorough testing out, Mr..
Raymond who is backing sthe enter
prise being on the ground a good
deal and watching operations and in
dications closely.
There mas been great deal of
talk engaged in recently relative to
oil development in this section and The
shaft at Elton is the first to be erect
ed anywhere like close to Jackson,
though several other test wells are be-
ing sunk over the state.
1t is by no means a foregone con-
clusion that there is not oil in this
county and men who keep closely in
touch with the oil situation are rather
optimistic over the prospects close to
Elton and state that the men who
are sinking this we'll will go deep
enough to prove the hole and that the
chances are if there is oil in the terri
tory they will develop that fact.
A good many Jackson people are
interested in oil development and
quite a number of these have driven
down to Elton to look over the well
and watch the progress of the drill
ing.
The oil we'll at Elton being drilled
under the direction of Captain Jack
Beach had yesterday reached depth
of more than 300 feet and work was
progressing steadily on sending down
the drill to find what it may find be-
meath the crust of the earth at this
place.-Jackson (Miss.) Clarion

Hebrews as Miners.

The operations for mining as known
to the early Hebrews are given in the
wenty-eighth chapter Of Job. The de-
scription is highly poetical. In Egypt
The mines for gold were worked by
groups Of convicts and captives in fet-
tiers. The harder rocks were broken
by fire, after which picks and chlsels
were used. The miners were quite ma
ked, as are the negroes Of today who
work "a the diamond mines In South

Matters Pertaining to Domestic
Science.
TMILY FERGERSON was ex-
tremely neat. Yet every one
in the store knew she re-
ceived no more salary than the rest
of the girls who were coming to
work these warm days in dark,
warm-looking shirtwaists because
they simply could not afford to pay
laundry prices. Then one, a bit
more bold than the rest. asked
Emily the old question. How do
you do it?"
She smiled and told her secret.
She had what she called laundry
in her own room. And the secrets
had been CLEANED from a French
laundress. Emily wore three clean
white shirtwaists each week.
First Of all, Emily went over her
waists for repairs. Sometimes it
was just a bit of the lace that
needed attention. Then, again, 1t
was button or a tiny darn. Next,
she dipped the waist into lukewarm
water and gave 1t a soaping.
She let the waists soak for, fifteen
minutes, gave them a gentle rub
bing on a small washboard and
rinsed them in the last water with
a little bluing.
A white one-quart bowl was used
to make the bluing. The bowl was
white so that the exact-shade OF
blue could be ascertained. Ball or
block blue is best for this kind of
laundry. Wrap a ball of blue in a
bit of white flannel cloth. Tie 1t
with a stout string. Squeeze this
in the bowl of clear water until
the water is of the desired shade.
A very little experience will soon
have you know which shade is most
desirable. After the waists were
wrung out Of the bluing water, she
starchcd them.
A little lump OF starch was crush
ed. or this, one nearly level table,
spon was taken, put in a small
saucepan. one-fourth Of a measur-
ing cup Of cold water added and the
whole stirred until there were no
Jumps; then three-fourths of ameas-
uring cup OF boiling water was
added. This was cooked until the
starch was clear, covered and set
aside to cool. When cool enough to
use, dip each waist in several times
and then wiring out. This is enough
for three or four shirtwaists.
But what about the drying7 The
waist as II comes from the starch is
clsped between the hands until IL Is
almost dry. 1t Is then ready to be
ironed. This is the secret of a
French laundress. The claping not

utos, but also distributes the starch
uniformly. or course, IL the waist
becomes too dry you will have to
sprinkle II again.

and two old-fashioned smoothing
irons which she heats upon a hot
plate. When heated she tries them
