Bob and Ellen lived in the suburbs
OF A big city and they had a yard and
a dog and most ~ the things children
like to have. But they also had
chickens-chlckens that laid the finest
sort of eggs--just right for big folks
and little folks to eat. But chickens
do take work--for somebody. And
this summer that somebody in the
Merrill family was Ellen, helped BY
Bob. And while Bob liked eggs Just
as well as the next fellow, still. neither
child liked 10 work--well, any better
than you do. maybe. So chickens
sometimes became something OF a
task.

STAINS MAY BE
REMOVED BY USE
OF SIMPLE METHOD

Various suggestions are given for
aid of housewives by Agricultural
College specialists.
How to remove stains from silks
and other materials successfully Is
explained by Miss Emma Skinner
Weld, instructor in household admin
istration at the Oregon Agricultural
college. Most stain removers are
alkalies or acids and make holes in
linen and silk although they bleach
the stain.
"The main essential is to prevent
the ring forming during the process
of removing the aain." said Miss
Weld. even professions are not al
ways sure of being successful IN re-
rowing stains and preventing rings
Natural silks such as pongee and
chine silks that are not weighted to
make them appear heavier. can be
washed in warm water with a mild
high grade Laundry soap to remove
light stains.

spongsd off with choloroform, ether
or gasoline. A clean cloth pad should
be placed beneath the stain to obsorb
the grease as it comes through. Spong-
ing with alcohol lin a rotary motion
to avoid formation of rings will re-
move grease stains from kid slippers
Soaking in sour milk is the best
remedy for ink stains. The CONNER
cial in eradicator can be used success
fully on wash materials. Oxalic acid
is excellent to remove stains and can
be used on silks If greatly deluted.
India ink IS almost impossible to re-
move from cloth. However, il grease

cloth when the stain is fresh and
the cloth washed in kerisene or in a
thin soap, shaved and melted in a
gallon Of water makes an excellent
soap paste.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY
BIG ASSET TO TOLEDO
The Standard OIL Company (caIifor-
nia) Have Announced That They
Will, Within Very Short Period,
Begin the Erection of a Distributing
Station at Toledo.

This is the most important addition
to the loca. business institutions that
has taken place in some time, and has
big bearing ON the financial anu
commercial welfare of this city. The
decision of the Standard Oil company
to establish the distributing plant
here was reached only after a thoro
analytical study of business condition,
and the growth of the city and the
community surrounding Toledo, with
particular view to its possibilities
OF expansion and progress, and 1t ex-
presses the Standard Oil company's
judgment and confidence in the fu-
ture of this community.
1t is expected that the new institu-
tion will be open for business within
sixty days.
In the past Toledo and the sur
rounding community have been served
from the Standard Oh! company's sub
station at Yaquina but the increase
in the amount of business done and
the demands for more thorough ser
vice in the country tributary to this
city has been one of the reasons VIII,
this local station is to be built.
The station which the Standard Oh
company will build vii. consist of the
necessary large storage tanks and
warehouse facilities for handling the
principal products of the company.
All buildings will be constructed Of
corrugated iron and will be as nearly
fire proof as possible. Every precaau'
tion will be taken for fire preventions,
as no smoking Is permitted on ol
around the property and the carrying

of matches by employees and other
persons entering the plant is strictly
prohibited. Supplies handled in tank
age are received by tank ship at the
companys main station at Willbridye
portland, Oregon) direct from the, re.
fnery at Richmond, California. and
will then be transported by tank car
from Willbridge to Toledo.
The entrance of the Standard Oil
company as a direct business in To-
ledo will mean big thing for the CON-
munity, not only in the way of an in
crease in the payroll in the city but
the improved service that will be
possible from having distributing
plant located at Toledo.

enough for separator and to bring

now so why not milk three or five more
and have some cream for sale.
Butter fat is bringing AZ cents per
pound now and will likely go higher
during the winter If you haven't the
