Dr.. W. O. Cobb, chairman of the
Republican city committee presided
and introduced Governor Brewster.
The continuance Of the present f.
nancial policies Of the State should
make 1t possible the next two years
for the State to make ten per cent
reduction in taxation. 1t would seem
equitable that this relief should be
shared by the farmers, the cities, and
the railroads who now bear such a
substantial share of the burden OF
taxation in this State.
This reduction is made possible
primarily as a result of the prudent
provision Of the last Legislature. 1t

WITH our modern ideas Of sam
w itation. we realize the I'm
portance Of gathering up the dust
instead Of Just brushing it of of
one surface into the air where &c
blows about only to settle on an
other surface very soon.
For this reason, dust cloths have
superseded the old-fashioned feath-
er busters. and now dustless busters
are taking the place OF ordinary
dust cloths. These dustless busters
have the advantage of holding the
tiny particles to the cloth until it
can be taken out of doors and
shaken in the sun and air.
To make q dustless buster, Inn
merse large square OF cheese
cloth in q strong hot suds Of white
