Real Mercerized Cotton.

Not every cotton fabric having n
glossy finish is mercerized. Some or
those glossy finishes which you see in
fabrics are produced with paste mix
lures applied after the material was
woven. "Paper cambria" Is one fabric
with a paste finish which many shop
pers have confused with merceriZed
materials.
Some fabrics get a glossy effect by
being pressed between heavy rollers,
but cotton cloth may be given a silky
effect by merceriZing. To mercerize
the cotton thread is put into a chemi-
cal bath under tension. This makes
the threads round and rodlike. The
cloth then becomes softer and it seems
glossy and silky because it reflects the
light better.
MerceriZing often makes cotton cloth
look like linen. If you are buying
linens for your household, or, for that
matter, need any sort OF white goods.
YOU may be able to save a GOOD deal
of money by buying mercerized cot
ton. Cotton. Of course, won't wear as
long nor look as well as linen, but 1t
Is much cheaper.
Cotton cloth that has been mercer
lied is much stronger than ordinary
cotton cloth, and that's another reason
why you should insist upon the mer-
cerized when buying cotton cloths for
hard usage In the process OF mer'
cerization the cotton fiber is strength
ened, and, therefore, the material I'M
proved.
Strange as 1t may seem, many
women have been confusing artificial
silk with mercerized cotton. The for
mer is much more lustrous than mer-
cerized cotton, and there is no reason
why the two should confuse you. An
other point of Importance is that mer-
cerized cotton retains its luster, while
fabrics with paste finishes, etc, have
only temporary luSter.
There are many 1nerceriZed cotton
cloths on the market today, and there
are also materials into which bright
mercerized yarns have been introduced
to form stripes, figures and checks.
Among the best known mercerized
fabrics are batistes. null, cotton dam
ask, cotton foulard, sateen Venetian
and cotton poplin. Each Of these is
valuable for some special purpose. &C
cOrding to its character. For under
wear and infants dresses the sheer
fine fabrics, like batiste, are best.
while the heavier ones, like cotton
poplin.' are better for Innings and
household uses.
1t means dollars in your pocket to
| know which merceriZed materials are
suited for needs you have formerly
supplied with more expensive ma
terials. The difference between satean
venetian Innings and silk Innings for q
| season NAV run up into many dollars.

Sense of Smell in Insects.

A dogs smell is marvelously keen,
but il is nothing compared to that of
insects. which are attracted from
great distances by an odor that they
like. In fact, bad insects may be
lured to destruction by placing q
substance that smells sweet to them
in some sort of trap or poison. They
are also powerfully repelled by odors,
especially camphor, though they
have not much objection to cedar, as
some people believe. The most ia
nous experiment with the smell
sense in insects IS that of F'abre.
Male insects appear to find their
mates by smell more than sight. The
female leaves on whatever she
touches an odor delicious to her mate,
but so faint that we cannot smell it
ourselves. 1t is, however, perceived
for great distances. perhaps miles, by
her mate. even through thick walls.
Fabro showed that even the presence
of another powerful odor like that of
sulphur would not disguise it.
Now what do you know about
that?

Clas. Wagner Mutters
When Asked Of Case

PRESCOTT-Muttering only un-

Wagner was bound over to the sup
erior court on a charge of murder
in connection with the Staying of
Tom Glasgow on last Christmas
eve when he was arraigned Satur-
day afternoon before Judge Harris
of the Canon justice court. He re-
fused to make and comment during
the hearing or before he was taken
from the county Jail for the long
trip.
Asked if he wished the services
of an attorney, Wagner consistent
ly refused to answer, mumbling to
himself all the time and pretending
not to hear the~words addressed to
him. Since he was taken to view
the remains of Glasgow, which had
been buried in a shallow grave near
Wagner's cabin at Bumblebee, the
accused man refused much of his
food and has talked to no one. He
will be tried during the next ses
sion of the county court.

Church Annual Meet
At Baptist Church
Held w ednesday e


One of the happiest and most en-
joyable events in the church ac-
tivities of the year came off at the
Baptist church Wednesday even
ing, the occasion being the church
dinner and annual meeting mark
ing the close of the church year.
About one hundred and ten mem
bers of the church and congrega-
ton with their families sat down
to a most bountiful repast gener-
ously prepared by the ladies of
the church.
During the evening, reports of
the work of the past year were
given for all departments of the
church. All were marked by the
spirit of encouragement and good
promise for the new year.
The outstanding features were
the reports of the treasurer, Mrs.
Shannon Albright, which showed
the finances to be in a most graft
flying condition; and that of the
financial board presenting an ad-
vanced goal for the coming year,
which was enthusiastically adopt
ed.
Mrs. Albright gave an inspiring
record of the organization and
work of the Junior department of
the Sunday school, which, under
her able leadership, has reached a
high degree of efficiency. Mr.. A. O..
LaPrade, reelected superintendent,
made an earnest appeal for larg-
er interest on the part of the older
members of the church in the Sun
day school.
Mrs. James Turner briefly re-
viewed the work of the Ladies
Aid and Missionary societies. Dur
ing the year the ladies have by
their devoted service raised and ex-
pended more than $500, applied
chiefly on the building improve
ments.
: For the Bible department, Mrs.
E. w. McClung outlined the studies,
showing the scope of the past years
effort and making an appeal for
future interest
Mrs. M. G. Moore, whose person
al devotion has meant much to the
growth of the Young Peoples or
ganization, spoke very happily OF
the young peoples plans for the
year to come.
New names added to the list of
officers were: w. G.. Camp, to the
board of deacons; G. r. Driggers,
to the trustees; Mrs. E. W. McClung
as superintendent of the Junior de-
partment of the Sunday school, and
Mrs. James Turner to the financial
board. Warm appreciation was ex-
pressed of the faithful and effective
work of the leaders in every de-
partment.
Enjoyable musical numbers were
rendered during the evening un-
der the direction of Mrs. G. T.
Stevens. These included a saxa-
phone solo by Dennis Sweeney;
violin solo, Miss Virginia Hinely;

bers were admitted. They were
Berry Stegmeir and George Jack
son, who rode the goat very sue
cessfully and did not break their
bones while climbing the hill. Al
belt they were much scared, and
so on with the business of the
meeting, to the great impatience of
the boys whose eyes were filled
with visions of the eats, and so VIM
Walcott, Rev. Hessell and E. H
were delegated as the Hon. Chefs,
who were quite successful as no
Indigestion cases were reported and
no dumbeils were thrown. Strange
to say there was no cake, figs, dates
or banana and egg cream left. 1t
was suggested that a sleuth be got
to solve the great mystery.
After eats, four Pilgrims were
appointed as dish washers, who did
not like it little bit, but no fines
were paid and so E. H. took the
new members to the examination
rooms where they passed in great
style. After which every one went
through much Koral work and hard
exercises until tired.
There has also been started a
new club library in the church, of
which all K. P. NJ C's. will be
proud, and any good books or mag
azines which interested people
may care to donate, will be great
ly appreciated.

mOny commenced, which was well
coined by all who were sleepy and
so home and to bed-O-Hum.
