HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
HOW TO BUY BLANKETS
%, 1922, Harland H. Allen.

1t takes some care and thought to
buy blankets, that is, if one is par
ticular about getting value received
for her money. 1t is not enough that
the design be pretty; and it is a bad
plan to buy cheap ones, as good blan-
kets wear so much longer and are mere
satisfactory in every way.
Of course you know that the finest
100 per cent wool blankets are very
expensive Statesmen say that prob
ably three out of every four of the
medium-priced blankets now on the
market are union Blankets" that is,
they are made up with cotton warp
and a wool weft or filling These
union blankets give excellent service,
but, Of course, are not so warm or SO
light as an all-wool blanket AS the
proportion of cotton increases, the
price is or should be, lowered, be-
cause the quality of the blanket is
changed. Cotton blankets are heavy,
soil easily, and give little warmth.
It is well to remember that the best
blankets have a surface resembling a
rather thick bed of wool, and are light
as well as warm. 1t is quite easy to
be deceived by what we think is
thick Woolly nap on a blanket, though.
Some blank cts are made entirely Of
cotton, and this long nap put on by
machinery If the tufting can be too
easily scratched off with the finger
nail it is very likely a surface nap.
You can soon learn to tell when
there is a large percentage of cotton
in blanket. In the first place it will
be heavier, because cotton has more
specific gravity than wool. A very
noticeable thing about blanket that
has too much cotton yarn is that the
characteristic wiry, elastic feel of wool
gives place to the softer and more
yielding quality of cotton. By doub-
ling over a fold of the blanket and
studying the edge you can recognize a
union blanket, as the cotton will stand
out in a straight line, while wool fibers
would be crinkly and curly instead of
straight like the cotton. The cotton
warp may also be detected at the edge
of the blanket.
Most women like their blankets to
be decorative as well as practical.
The best sellers seem to be plaid de-
signs in pink, blue, or yellow COM
bined with white, to fit in with the
color scheme of the bedroom. Usually
blankets come double, but for con-
venience. many housewives. cut them
aDart and bind the edges

COOPERATION
Bq lDALTER l.
ROBINSON

r EARN to cooperate.
II The leaders in everything of con-
sequence who are getting ahead are
not doing so by their own stubborness.
They have come to recognize that the
greatest amount Of good can only be
accomplished by persuading others in
to following them, along the logical
pathway, rather than in trying to force
them like cattle being driven into their
pen.
There is nothing new in cooperation.
Wise men have recognized its impor-
lance and recommended it to others for
ages. But for the cooperation of men,
the pyramids would never have been
built and without the cooperation Of
a woman, Columbus would not have
started on his memorable trip.
One hundred years ago John Skin
ner, editor of the American Farmer
in discussing the future of farming,
Urged cooperation in order that the
industry might succeed and assure
agricuIturists more pleasure In life.
He said:
Farming in the future will no
longer be a matter of brute force. It
will be a business for brains, organi-
zation and intelligence"
If he could return to this world now
and see the wonderful progress in
agriculture since he last looked upon
cur waving grain fields and cool mead
ows of hemp and corn, he would I'M
derstande more clearly than he did a
century ago that cooperation was the
surest way to win. On every hand he

asked him: Moses, why did you
steal turkey?'

'"That is strange, Moses, that you
don't know why. But do you know
if it tasted good?"

Now, Moses, how can man en-

Moses in humility bowed his head.
The judge continued: Remember
the commandment. Thou shalt not

day-the good spirit to your right.

said Grandpa Postum. ST don't like
to talk about it, but I will tell you, my
son, if you will promise never to open
an oven door again when am around. !"
Little Possy promised to be very
careful about oven doors and Grandpa
began his story.
'It was a bright, moonlight night,
he said, "and I had run up to the farm
to find something for my supper, when
all at once 1 heard noises that made
me forget I was hungry, and I ran for

foot of a big tree when behind me
came men and dogs and the dogs were

Tor there was a small hole in the bag
through which l could see little q

"Pretty soon heard one Of the men
say: Put him in the oven; he will be
safe there, and, anyway, he may as
well get used to it because he will
have to stay there quite a long time
tomorrow. And then they all laughed

NEAR 'POssUM ROAST

ONE cold night Grandpa Possum sat
~ beside the stove warming his feet,
when little Possy, his grandson, opened
the oven door. "Put your feet in,
grandpa; they will get toasty feeling
in a jiffy," he said.
Grandpa Possum jumped up. "Close
that door l.. he cried, in such a cross
voice that his grandson looked in won

to me when 1 was young fellow, and

Tidal TRANSPORTATION.

Some of the finest grindstones in the
world come from the bottom of the
Bay of Fundy. The stone-cutters
there have simple method of NOV
ing them to the shore. Workmen
quarry the stones from the solid rock
when the tide is out and fasten them
to a large fiat-bottomed boat.
The, tides in the Bay of Fundy are
the highest in the world. They rise
from so to 70 feet and rush in With
great 4swiftness. The tide lifts the
fiat Boat with the, stones attached. The
workmen bring the boat ashore and re-
move the stones at their leisure when
the tide is out.

most charming lyric around the name ;
everyone is familiar with his Lady
Clare"
If Clara would have the fullest bene-
fits from the name she bears, she must
wear her talismanic jewel, the car
nelian. This warm-colored stone sup
plies the contrast to the rather chill,
naughty beauty associated with the
name. A carnelian gives courage to
its wearer and is especially to3be de-
sired by one who uses her voice as
singer or public speaker, as 1t insures
strength of the vocal organs. Further
more it protects it's wearer from in
jury, though to dream of it signifies I'm.

lucky day, and five her fortunate num-

AUTO LICENSE NO. 300. 900.

Someone, probably before the end
OF August, will be issued automobile
license No. 100000 which he can affix
to his car with the proud assurance
that it is the first ame that number
ever has ben issued by the state and
also, that it will be some time before
any body else gets the number again.
1t happens that everybody under
estimated the number of private cars
that would seek licenses this year.
The result is that the demand for
motor vehicle licenses will exhaust
the number reserved for private cars
within months time and Director
Fred ]. Dibble will have to jump to
No 100000 and begin issuing addi-
tional numbers in the 100000 class.
Next year all the numbers below 300
900 will be reserved for private cars.
but it is believed that at the present
rate of growth ii will take two or
three years to reach the day when
Washington will have 300, 900 private
