Dry Cleaning

One should be careful about
the method used for cleaning,
Some women like 10 wash
everything even fancy silks and
rayons. There is a nice clean
feeling about garments that
have been Numbered but rayons
and silks should be dry cleaned.
They may neither fade nor
shrink in the washing but the
shape and fine little finishings
are never quite so new and
crisp after laundering. When
they are we'll cleaned they are
just like new garments again.
Shoe trees keep shoes look
ing new. 1t takes only a few
moments 70 slip in the trees
and rub off the outside with a
cloth before putting them away.
When this is done after wear
ing they will be in the pink to
put on the next time.

.CANNERY HELP
HELD ADEQUATE
Season Nearing Close Now ;
Crops Affected by Drought
Make Less Work
NO SPOILAGE INDICATED

Reports reaching agricultural and
employment officials indicate that
the canning plants operating in
Clayton and vicinity this season
have had sufficient labor to meet
their needs in handling the crops
that were available to them for
canning purposes. Thus far we
have had no indication of any crop
Ispoilage through the inability of
the canning plants to process the
crops" stated Thomas Russell man
ager of the u. S. Employment Ser
vice which Office was charged with
the responsibility of providing labor
for the canning plants. Mr.. Russell
pointed out, however, that adverse
weather conditions greatly reduced
the size of some of the crops, es-
pecially beans and in some instanc-
es tomatoes, but he added even I'M
der normal conditions the plants
had what was believed enough
labor to proceed.
