FIRST WATER SOFTENER
PAYETTE NSIALLED
AT THE LAUNDRY

The Editor recently received a
shock when he saw the natural hard
water of the local water system
turned into soft water, softer than
the rain fall, withous the aid of any
chemical or acid prossss whatever
Johnston Bros. have recently in
stalled water softenss at the Pay
l-e,re sream naundfsy Nh,eiz- .ecom-
plishes this very remarkable thing.
Hard water as most women know
is difficult to use in producing real
ly nice laundry work, it causes the
soap used to curdle and cling to the
fibers of the fabric in such manner
that it is impossible to rinse it from
the goods. This causes the clothing
which are continually washed in this
kind of water to become slightly
gray an to wear out before they
should. This fact has been known
to professional laundrymen for some
time and in seeking a solution for the
DTODlSn lHS plSSCAl Sii'Si~AS
softener is the result.
Johnston brothers have built their
own softener after investigating the
prices of all the machines on the
market. The machine which is now
in operation was constructed at a
large saving and is giving wonderful
results,
The softening process is accom-
plished by what is know as the Eco
lte process Zeolite is mineral
which has the power to absorbe the
hardness from the water. The trick
is accomplished by passing the water
through the mineral after the man
ner of a filter after stated number
of gallon of water has been softened
the moneral becomes full of the lime
and magnesia which are the princi-
pie hardening elements in the water.
When this limit has been reached the
softener must then be regenerated,
this is done by soaking the mineral,
usually overnight, in brine made
from common salt, this is then wash
ed out of the softener and the ma
chine will then soften the same num-
ber of gallons as before.
The machine in the local laundry
will soften 5000 gallons of water in
about six hours and the proprietors
are planning an extension to the ma
chine which will give a capacity Of
5000 to 10000 gallons per day.

most desired, and with no exception
the very article wanted was sup
piled, besides to each child sack of

victed of numbering thirty-three per-
sons since 1921, and his wife have
been executed by a firing squad
Throughout his trial komarov had
affected bravado, but after his con-
viction he endeavored in every way
20 save his life. First he appealed
for a new trial, and when this was
denied, he pleaded with the govern
ment for clemency. The man showed
surprising knowledge of the techni-
Calities of the criminal code. He con-
tended that he had been wrongly con-
for onlS a sentence of ten years i'm
prisonment, instead of death.
Komarov made a special plea for
rlemency for his wife. The central
executive committee, however. de-
clined to change the sentence and
Komarov and his wife were put to
death.
Romarov was former Moscow
cabinet officer. He was arrested last
month on a charge of having mur-
dered thirty-three persons. twenty
two Of the bodies of whom were found
in the cellar of his house tied in
sacks. When arrested he made an
escape and jumped from a window,
and was at large for a while. Later
he was taken into custody while writ
ing a confession of his crimes. The
confession involved his wife and other
persons. He said all the vistims were
killed while attending tea parties in
his home, where they had been in
vited for the purpose of robbery.

page of history was written bv the

The program began PROMPTLY Al

E. Douglas int4odnoed the speaker Of
the day, who was c. L. Neill of Jack
son, himself a dirt farmer and presi-
dent of the Mississippi Farm Bureau
Federation and wcepresident of the
Mississippi Farm Bureau Cotton Asso-
ciation
In introducing Mr.. Neill, Mr.. Dong.
las told the people who are con-
stantly crying about high taxes how
to pay their taxes and not know 1t.
His plan was to market the cotton
crop of the county comparatively. and
he explained that if the crop had been
marketed comparatively last year and
that profit of what other states who
co-operated had been made, enough
would have been gained over the
price received to have paid all the
taxes of the county.
Mr. Neill spoke at length to more
than = thousand hearers, consisting
mainly of farmers who were 1nvsr-
ested in getting more for cotton. II
wa sa great speech, as one farmer
described it, and said, 81 cannot see
how any one can stay out of the as
sociation after hearing the plans ex-
planned" w. F. Holmes, assistant
salesman for the Farm Bureau Cotton
Association, was also present and ex-
planned grades and staples of cotton.
For the occasion 40 icarcasses were
barbecued. One hundred gallons of
Brunswick stew we're also prepared.
Too much praise cannot be given the
''cooks," as they worked faithfully
and the meat was delicious.
