Nearly every garment you buy
is tagged with cleaning or wash
ing instructions. The materials
are made by reputable firms, who
want to succeed, and conse.
quently have done their best to
make good materials, and to tell
you how to use those materials.
But, unfortunately. most of us
take the tag off, forget what it
said, and never follow the instruc-
tionS.
NO-SHRINKAGE LABELS
In cottons, look for a label that
says "Sanforized Shrunk." If
that is there, then you need have
no fear, for that garment can be
washed any way you want to
wash it. This applies to linens
too. The sanforizing process is a
secret, so that I can't explain it
to you, but the results are a pos
sible shrinkage of less than one
fourth of one per cent which,
as you can see, is practically no
Shrinkage at all. In the length
of a skirt, it would mean not
more than an eighth of an inch.
If the tag merely says pre-shrunk,
it means practically nothing, for
you have no way of knowing how
much shrinkage has taken place
before you bought the garment,
before it was made up. There
may still be considerable room for
shrinkage.
AS to the acetates and other
syntheticS on the market-they
are nearly all labeled either with
washing directions, or such as
this: Dry Clean-Do Not
Wash" That ought to be plain
enough for anybody, but the
stores tell me that they still have
people bringing them back with
complaints that they were ruined
in washing. At that point, there
really isn't anything that the
store can do about it. The idea
is to save your labels, and then
follow Instructions!
NEW SHEER WOODS
Something new under the sun
this summer is lightweight woods
woven to combine smart appear
ance and warm weather comfort
in daytime wear. FeatherWeight
dress and suit fabrics of sheer
woods that tailor as trinity as suit
ings make some of the most at
tractive summer sports dresses
and jacket frocks, and the vogue
for casual wool coats in white or
pastel shades is gaining ground
rapidly as vacation wardrobe
shopping goes on.
Because summer clothes in
white or pastel shades make fire.
quent trips to the dry cleaner, it
is a good idea to be sure that your
summer wooden and worsted
frocks and coats are made Of
properly pre-shrunk ma t erials
that will hold their original lines
no matter how often they are

AN EARLY MAY DAY FESTIVAL

All nature is quite glad today,
It is the first off May,
The merry month of outdoor joy
For every girl and boy.
From far and near on the green
The children can be seen;
They dance, they run, they skip
and roll
Around the huge May pole.
In garlands neat upon each bough
The flowers formed are now,
And clothed in brightness all around
The happy folks are found.
The music floats upon the breeze
And through the new leaved trees,
The children, clad in bright array,
Never were see o gay.
This May Day fears will long be
kept,
It's joys we'll e'er accept,
And we will wait patiently
For April next TO flee.

That makes scales rough and slow?

You'll always play Largo.
Just make a tunnel of you. hand,
And, as your second plays,
Your thumb if under right COM

Will never cause delays.

Your thumb must help, you know:
Good underpass you'll surely need.

SPRING

The Alder by THE river
Shakes out her powdery curls;
The willow buds in silver
For little boys and girls
The little birds fly over
And oh, how sweet they sing
To tell the happy children
That once again it's spring.
The gay green grass comes
,reeping
The buttercups are coming
And scarlet columbine,
And in the sunny meadows
The dandelions shine.
And just as many daisies
As their soft hands can hold
The little ones may gather,
All fair in white and gold.
Here blooms the warm red clover
There peeps the violet blue;
Oh happy little children,
God made them all for you.

MUDDY FLAT FARMERS!

To aid the possibility Of irrigation
I feel compelled to write this letter.
For Z life time I have watched the
water table steadily lowering. Even
from 1890 to 1910 1t dropped sp-
proxAmately S feet and, except for
certain years It has dropped ste4dily
ever since. Today many wells oven
in the Muddy valley are dry.
Faeed with this and Yealixing that
this has continued for Ut least 81
years, I am sure that II We expect
70 farm We must conserve our VA
tor. /,
There has been some agitation for
4 dam on the Muddy 1t Redstone
and there is really = possibility Of
getting this dam II We wake up.
The dam will not be opposed by
any group in the county IS indirect
ly we all would tbe benefited but
We are the ones directly benefited
and 1t will be us who pay for the
dam.
