"JUSy HOW" TO MAKE A COT
TON BED COMFORT.


Isn't it awful" a bride friend
wrote EN- a month ago. THE only
cotton comforts I'd have in our
apartment cost from 81 up (the
cheaper ones are small-sze and
made of such tawdry materially. l
don't know how We'll ever pay for
one this winter"
In reply / sent this young friend
explicit directions for making a
comfort pointing out to her that
she could make one for $3.50, if
she would first have a carpenter
make her quilting frame.
And toGay / received her answer
to my letter. "You should see my
quilting frame!" she says enthusi-
astics4ly. 1T looks 50 funny set
| up in New York apartment! The
! man who came in to read the cleo
! triC light meter almost wept when
| he saw it; he said he was country
| born and had seen his women
| folks around a quilting frame in
his boyhood. l believe lots of city
If you'd write about it in your col
umn, Why don't you? People
must cut out your articles and send
| them in letters to their friends,
and | am sure the directions you
sent me would be appreciated by
many"
SO / am taking this friends ad-
vice and publishing the following
directions: ....
Have carpenter make you two
lengths of board eight feet long,
and two lengths of board six and
one-half feet long, These boards
should be from two to three inches
wide and quite flat. (The kind
of clothes poles that are flat, not
round, will do il sawed the right
| lengthy Now tack a strip of bed
ticking on each of these boards,
the entire length, letting one edge
of the strip of ticking hang out
about one inch beyond the edge
of the board, so that the comfort
may be sewed onto this ticking
when you are ready to /. tuft it
Four iron clamps Cthe kind that
screw DOWN will be necessary to
secure the crossed-over boards to-
gether at the four corners aftei
the quilt is sewed onto the ticking
Thus, the quilt will be stretched
| taut and one can tuft it.
Now for the material: The com.
fort will be two and one-half yard'
long and two yards wide. This vii

during the greater part of the day
the market showed less power to

parative lull in expert buying was
of some weight also as a handicap

offerings were light failed to make
much impression as an offset. but
Developments at Washington in re-

a decrease in the visible supply

DO WE WANT A WAR WITH ENGLAND?

Attempts to embroil the United States in seri-
GUS difficulty with Great Britain over the Irish
question are becoming so brazen that no patriotic
American should remain silent in the face of them.
The latest vehicle for this sort of ntBritsh
propaganda to come to notice is a b-weekly
calling itself "The Sim Feiner," published in New
York, which has been sale in albuquerque.
The greater part it's first page, in the issue of
November 10, is taken up by placard containing,
in large letters, the words: American Killed in
Ireland; British Atrocities Increase Accompany
ing the placard is an article purporting to be from
Dublin, giving details of the death of John OBren,
an American citizen, who killed in Tpperary
last month. Here few of the sentences con-
tanned in the article clearly designed to stir anti
British feeling I'D
THE British knew he an American and
that he had been visiting at Nenagh. The SOL
diers rushed into the house and dragged out
their victim. His protests that he was an Am
eriean citizen were disregarded. In fact, wit
nesses are convinced that had K not been an
American he would not have been murdered.
British hatred of Americans in Ireland is in
tense and no American citizen because of it is
safe in this country today O'Brien was given
no opportunity to prepare for death, Although he
was defenseless and made resistance he
was shot in cold blood. His murder deb-
crate and intentional.
"The American elections accepted with
indifference here The people have lost all
faith and hope that any American government
will intervene in behalf of this Republic. Con-
vinced of their genuine sympathy the Irish people
cannot understand why the American people do
not compel their government to do their bid
ding"
The words "Sinn Fein" Irish for I'VE Our
selves" "The Sim Feiner has adapted this into a
motto for the head of its editorial column Our
selves for the United States ourselves for Ire
land"
This b-weeklys Americanism, however, seems to
be of a queer vintage. 1t sympathzes with Ger
man-American voters for imaginary wrongs suffer-
ed at the hands of the department of justice 1t as
sails President Wilson,, and adds that Harding is
almost as bad, although it does command the presi-
dent-elect to make things unpleasant for Great
Britain.
But we shall quote directly from THE Sim
Feiner itself so that we cannot be accused of being
Unfair We are merely selecting few of the
straws that show which way the wind blows from
this bellows of anti-British propaganda:
"Cox's crushing defeat was due directly to the
utter contempt, fear and hatred with wheih
every voter held Woodrow Wilson, his admin
tration. its personnel, its autocracy, despotism.

New York. Dec. 2O.-Entering
upon the final fortnight of the-year
the stock market today presented
no material change of tone from
the very unsettled and reactionary
trend of the past few months.
The general tenor of adviceS over
the weekend seemed in no wise
conducive to resumption of oper-
ations for the long account Gables
from London and Buenos Aires
told of the suspension of financial
institutions at those centers and
foreign exchange was unsteady, es-
pecially to central European
points.
Domestic, industrial and COM
mercial conditions continued to be
clouded by further falling off of
tonnage at leading railway termi-
nails, additional dividend suspen-
sions and more cutting of wage
schedules in the textile trade.
Prices were lower in q majority
of instances at the active opening
of the stock market, recessions
making irregular progress before
noon. Variable rallies during the
intermediate session failed to hold,
speculative issues succumbing to
increased pressure at the heavy
close.
Net losses of one to four points
were made by coppers. equipments,
shippings and such specialties as
International Paper and Famous
Players, but Houston Oil was the
most conspicuous feature, break
ing liz points. Sales of all stocks
amounted to $4,000 shares.
Another heavy inflow of gold
from London was reported. but the
movement had little effect on re-
mittances of sterling bills, which
rallied only slightly. Can money
ruled at per cent all day, but
time money showed increasing ac-
tivity,
Heavy selling of Liberty bonds,
especially the second, third and
fourth AIS, featured the bond
market, the offerings being attri-
huted to enforced foundations,
Total sales. par value. $24,50S.00o.

It might surprise you to know
how many people have been oper-
ated on for hemorrhoids (piles)
and for appendicitis. We have rea-
son to believe that both of these

an operation for one or the other
of tifese' diseases. You will ALSO
