CLoTHEs RUBBING USELESS

Dirt which sends clothing and
other household fabrics to the laun-
dry can be washed out without the
hard rubbing that has always been
the treatment given them, according
to Miss Glenna Hesse OF the home
/, economics division OF Iowa State
College.
Much energy can be saved and
home washing made easier IL the
old time dashboard be eliminated
from the washing apparatus and
scientific methods applied.
"Now-a-days", says Miss Hesse,
I'VE look on the rubbing as merely
a vigorous agitation which wears out
the fabrics. Instead we substitute
good Dap solutions and allow them to
remove the dirt"
Take borax and neutral soap for
soft water or, sal coda and laundry
soap for hard water, make a good
solution of suds and then put the
clothes in this, With only little
agitation the dirt will soon be re-
moved as effectivly as when it was
rubbed out. With this arrangement
boiling is not necessary, as this is
merely a further agitation. II boil
ing is used to sterilize clothing, the
same result can be secured by hot
mangling or ironing, which has the
same disinfecting properties.
The dirt gathered on personal
apparel is held there by the oil from
the body
When a washing machine is used
it furnishes agitation. The soap So
luton added to the water and a
strong suds made before clothes are
added does the work Of liberating
the dirt. So T'-'''I -
The clothes are rinsed with hot
water to cleanse from soap, rinsed
again in a clear cool water and
finally through bluing water.

BUSINESS PICKING UP

Though business and industry are
going through period of dizziness
throughout the country, there is a
hopeful tone to the trade reviews.
This is one of the encouraging signs
for the near future, for lack OF con-
fidence in speedy readjustment and
recovery is doing much to hinder
business generally. The period Of
waiting is being prolonged and will
be prolonged in proportion to the
tenacity with which we endeavor to
sustain the high levels of war times.
Neither labor nor capital, employ
er or employee will take the down
ward step voluntarily. In the mean
time most industries are marking
time until some way out Of the diff
culties into which they have drifted
presents itself. Only those industries
which must go on In order to exist at
all are active and many of those are
working only short time. Industry
cannot go ahead with freedom until
wages coroe down, profits are cut
and transportation charges revised
to make possible freer movement
of products aid materials.
There is little hope that these
things can be accomplished quickly.
The vicious circle which became
so familiar carried the busiess of the
country to dizzy height. 1t will be
difficult to get down and It would be
unwise, perhaps, to get down in too
much of a hurry, lest we land at the
bottom in heap.
The farmer who was among the
first to feel the buoyant effects Of
war demand led the procession down
ward. With big surplus on his
hands and no customers at the top
he dropped to the bottom with a
crash. The results are noticeable in
the bankruptcy courts. However he
is getting on his feet and recovering
from the shock. He is ablest Of all
to withstand the shock, for he knows
the world must eat and he holds the
key to the cupboard. Business and
industry are held by tie unwilling
ness of labor to share in the losses.
Here and there they are making a
start. Those who wait longest are
likely to find the going bad. But it
is a certainty that all will have to
come down sooner or later.
will have to come down sooner or
later.
Necessity is stimulating the buying
movement. While the public no
longer buys extravagantly as it did
in recent years, it must buy at least
the necessaries and the lowered
prices for most articles together with
the savings from the prosperous days
is having a beneficial effect on
wholesale and retail business, accord
ing to the business reviewers.-Non-

MUST GIVE UP HIS WORK
Ill Health Compels Earl Maharg to
Resign His Position as
County Agent.

Word has reached Audubon that
Earl Maharg, for many years pros
porous and progressive farmer Of
this locality, but the past three years
county agent of Sac county, has been
compelled to give up his work there
on account of poor health.
Some three weeks ago Mr.. Maharg
was here visiting his parents Mr.. and
Mrs. J. H. Maharg, and it was then
that he told his parents he was
going to Rochester, MINI. for the
purpose of an operation.
Concerning his illness and his de-
termination to quit the Sac City Sun
has the following to say in last
weeks issue.
1.-THE Sun regrets to annonce
that acting upon the advice of
his physician County Agent Earl
Maharg has rendered his res
ignation to the board Of directors of
the Sac County Farm Bureau. Mr..
Maharg returned last Sunday after
a sojourn of nearly two weeks at
Rochester, Mimi. for diagnosis and
treatment, Apparently he was
threatened with paralysis of his right
side. Diagnosis revealed that his
trouble was due to necrosis of the
left cheek bone, and an operation
was performed which ceems likely
to afford relief, but further treat
ment will be necessary.
In compliance with his contract
Mr.. Maharg gave 80 days notice on
the first of MGy of his desire to be
released from responsibilities. AS
yet he has no definite plans as to the
future. The first thing will be to get
well. But the physicians at Roches-
ter have advised him to get out of
the farm bureau work and he re-
luctantly accepts their advice.
Mr.. Maharg has been with the
bureau ever since 1t was organized
in Sac county and has made of it one
Of the most efficient and serviceable
county farm bureaus to be found
anywhere. He is a man of much
more than the average ability and
has so keen a grasp on the problems
confronting the farmers that he is
always helpful man in council per-
tanning to their interests. g.
AS a citizen of Sac City he has
been enterprising and helpful in
every way

CoNFERs WITH PRESIDENT
Indications Good That Judge Green's
Bill VIII Pass to Help
The Farmers.

Representative Green of the ninth
Iowa District, and former resident
of Audubon, who is one of the lead
ing republicans on the ways and
means committee, conferred with
President Harding Monday about re-
peal of the transportation taxes.
Judge Green has a bill for such re-
peal and he told the president it
ought to be passed and these bur-
densome taxes repealed" He point
ed out that freight rates are the sub
ject of much complaint and it would
be a relief to farmers, livestock men
and shippers generally to get rid Of
the transportation taxes.
While Judge Green does not OPP
pose repeal Of the excess profits
tax, he holds that corporation in
come tax should be levied to take
the place Of it and of the transpor-
tation taxes. President Harding is
understood to be well inclined to-
ward Judge Green's plan. Secretary
Mellon, however, has not recon-
mended repeal of the transportation
taxes. Whether he will try to block
Judge Green's measure is not
known. Judge Green will confer
with him in a short time.
Repeal of the transportation
taxes would tend greatly TO relieve
the farmers and the shippers gen
orally" said Judge Green, In
view of the complaints regarding
high rates, 1t seems to me to be be-
yond question that we should repeal
these taxes" a,.~..'

MUFFINs EASILY MADE

Did you know that you can make
mullins in six to eight minutes for
the evening meal and that you can
make white mullins, graham muff-
ms, and date mullins simply by
shifting one ingredient in the mix
ing of the batter?
Here's the way the home econom-
les division of Iowa State College
mixes mullins, and it's so simple
that school children make them in
record time.
Take two cups of flour; four tea
spoons of baking powder; one-half
teaspoon salt; one tablespoon sug-
ar; one tablespoon of fat and one
egg. Mix the flour and baking pow
der into the flour sitter. Then
beat the egg in bowl, add the salt
and sugar, then the melted fat and
finally the flour and BAKING powder.
Stir the whole mixture enough to
mix the ingredients.
If graham mullins are desired,
replace one cup of white flour with
one cup of graham flour. If date
mullins are wanted, add one half
cup of chopped dates to the original
muffin pattern.

April Eool,s DAY.

April FOOLS day has long been
known as the time to play jokes on
ones neighbor. Just how long the Gus
tom has prevailed Is not known. Some
say that it started back In the begin
ming Of time when Noah sent the dove
out Of the ark before the food had
abated. The date of this is supposed
to correspond with our first day of
April. And, inasmuch as the bird went
out upon an Intellectual mission, the
custom gradually grew Of sending
ones friends on bootless errands.
