During the afternoon with patches

One could gaze away from Douglas

snow afar off. The Huachucas, the
Chiricahuas, the Mule mountains and
every range, north, south, east and

Walls in kitchens are sometimes
coated with a thin film of grease. In
this case a stronger glue size solu-
ton with more than the usual
amount of sal soda and a little am
monia will simplify the work. Never
try to wash spots off a kitchen wall,
or any other wall for that matter.
1t will leave rings. 1t is easier in the
end to wash the whole wall.
For vanished surfaces that have
become dusty and perhaps sticky,
lukewarm water to which a very
little household ammonia has been
added is the best solution for clean
ing.
Where a starch coat has been us
ed and you are ready to remove it,
simply wash with a pail of clear wa
ter.
Starching is simple process that
deserves much wider practice. By
applying a protective coating when
the wall is new, the surface may be
kept in perfect condition. When the
coating becomes Soiled it is removed
and beneath in all its freshness is
the new finish. The coating may be
applied several different times, saw
ing as many bills for redecoration.
A handful of starch is dissolved in
just enough cold water to cover it,
and boiling water added until the
mixture has a thick jelly-like con-
sistency. 1t is then thinned with
cold water until it has consistency
about like that of milk and brushed
on to the wall with an ordinary fiat
wall brush. Thorough brushing is
essential to good results. A pinch
of dry color, if desired, may be add
ed to tint the coating. In case the
wall has a gloss finish, it should first
be wiped down with vinegar or alco-
hol. A coating of this kind does not
alter the appearance of the wall in
any way except by removing glossy
spots and giving greater uniformity.
It should not, however, be applied to
a poorly painted wall as it is liable
to emphasize laps and streaks, or to
any wall that has an insufficient
number Of coats.

ing as they had not thought before.
Some way must be found of pro-
tecting from chaotic conditions the
millions upon whose shoulders
rested the responsibility of supply
ing the world with an indispensable
product.
This was the most immediate
need, but it formed only one side
of a problem which had another
side of different kind. 1t was re-
called that only a few years earlier,
the millmen and their dependents
had encountered hardships, and the
great purchasing public had been
severely taxed because the produc-
ton of raw cotton had Leen hardly
enough to supply the worlds de-
mand and the price had scared to
exorbitant figures. In 1919, it
reached an average of 35.4 cents a
pound; in 1928 and 1924, it brought.
an average of 2S.7 cents and 24.7
cents, respectively. These prices
must be paid by spinners, weavers,
knitters and other manufacturers
if their great mills were not to
stand idle and their half-million
workers to remain unemployed.
Milford chronicle., 1928-02-03

They paid them perforce and the
prices of their products rose in con-
sequence.
Even the careless public recalled
stories of, how the German people
during the War had been compelled
to resort to paper clothing when
cotton could not be had, and they
remembered from their own expe-
rience how difficult and expensive
it had been to replenish supplies of
underwear and household cloths in
the year following the Armistice.
In the light of these experiences,
it was realized that the problem of
the cotton grower was also one of
the manufacturer and of every user
of sheets, towels and napkins. It
also was apparent that the problems
of the consumer and manufacturer
of cotton goods were of concern to
the producer of raw cotton.
The despotic and erratic rule of
King Cotton must be curbed.
Americas second largest industry
stood in urgent need of corrective
measures.
