THRIFTY TIPS FOR THE HOME
—Kimqno Aprons— ls kimono aprons
are ironed from side to side instead
of lengthwise they will not sag at
the sides.
Silk Hose— To prevent the heels
of black silk stockings from turn
ing gray, add a tablespoon of vin
egar to the water in which they are
unwise to attempt to dictate any
washed.
Shoe Strings— When shoe strings
become unravelled at the ends, dip
the ends in a little melted paraffin
and roll between fingers.
Laces— To stiffen very thin fab
rics and fine laces, add one teaspoon
of borax to one quart of water.
Eggs—To beat the white of eggs
quickly, put in a pinch of salt. The
qoolqr the eggs the quicker they
will froth.
Hair Brushes—After washing a
hair brush in hot- water lather,
rinse the bristles in a basin of cold
water to which has been added a
sufficient quantity of blue to color
it. Rinse in cold water, shake
brush well, and dry quickly in open
air. This method keeps the bristles
white and stiff.
Flannel — Before washing new flan
nels soak them a quarter of an hour
in cold water to which has been
added a handful of fait. Then wash
jn the ordinary way. This makes
the washing easier and the flannel
will look like new when dry.
Stains—To remove tea or coffee
stains from a woolen blouse, etc.,
use glycerine. Apply a little to the
Stain, leave for a time, and then
wash with lukewarm water. Iron
the material on the inside until dry.
Cake—To remove a cake from the
pan in which it has been baked,
stand the tin directly on a cloth
which has been wrung out in hot
water. Leave it there for about five
minutes. The cake will then come
out without any trouble.
Brown Sugar—To keep the brown
sugar from lumping put in a piece
of bread. .
Faucets —To remove marks caus
ed by water dipping from the fau
cets in sirks or bath tubs nothing
is better than powdered chalk mix
ed with a little liqu : d ammonia. An
old brush is an excellent thing to
use in applying it.
Scrubbing Brushes —When not in
use, scrubbing brushes should be
turned bristles dow-nward. The wa
ter will run out of them and they
wll dry. If they are placed on
their backs the water will soak into
the wood and loosen bristles.

gious education.” Miss Myra Batch
elder, the other state worker pres
ent, is a live wire, and she was at
the very top notch in her address
on “vacation Bible schools.”
Menlo sustained her accustomed
reputation as to the matter of en
tertainment. The multitude was
well fed, and many fragments taken
up.
Monday was a full day among the
women at the Presbyterian church.

BETTER CITIZENS
The war department expects to
ake care of 40,000 students in the
summer military training camps
which will open in all army corps
areas in July. Young men between
he age of 17 and 24 are eligible.
No service the government per
forms is more valuable than this be
cause it offers the youth of the
country a chance for a month’s va
atiori at no expense that at the
same time will be beneficial.
The summer training camps are
an extension of the Plattsburg idea
of 1915. They have grown in popu
larity each year until all of the re
quests for admission can not be
granted.
The country is orly as strong as
its young men. Anything that will
teach them better living habits and
that Will feiaks better cilizcns i;
‘deserving and worthy of support.

AUTO OWNERS
, MUST GET TAGS
All owners of automobiles are re
quired by state law to get their

cause I did not want to work any
hardship on any one, but this is to

I will be forced to make cases
against any one caught using his
car in violation of this law.

Co-operative
Marketing Advo
cated in New Bill
WASHINGTON, April 16.—Estab
lishment of a federal system of co
operative marketing of farm prod
ucts is proposed in a bill introduced
by Representatives Williams (rep.,
Mich.). Authorization also would be
given clearing house associations
to form export corporations under
the Webb-Pomerene act.
A board of seven members is pro
vided in the bill to administer its
provisions. Two of them would be
the secretaries of agriculture and
commerce. Local co-operatives would
be brought into clearing house as
sociations to be composed of co
operative associations, wholesalers,
commission men, dealers and large
consumers, all subject to regulation
by a federal marketing board.
Deputy Sheriff’s
Home Dynamited
In Floyd County
ROME, Ga., April 15.—The front
portion of the home of Deputy Sher
iff John Bobo, at Silver Creek, six
miles from here, was wrecked by a
dynamite explosion at 1 o’clock this
morning. The blast was attributed
to bootleggers or moonshiners
against whom Bobo has been active.
No one was injured.
Officers today were informed that
an automobile passed the Bobo resi
dence on the Rockmart road at Sil
ver Creek about 11:30 o'clock last
night, and stopped a short distance
from the house.
Bloodhounds soon after the explo
sion trailed across a field to a spot
a quarter of a mile from the Bobo
home. The dynamiters are believed
to have set a two-hour fuse on the
front porch. A pillar was blasted
away and windows on both floors of
the house were shattered.
Bobo is a special officer employed
by the Massachusetts mills, at Lin
dale, and had been working closely
with Grover C. Williams, recently
deposed county policeman, in run
ning down bootleggers and moon
shiners. Williams’ office was abol
ished by the county board of roads
and revenue commissioners over the
protest of judges of two courts here
and other officials and citizens.

The South’s Resources
The possibilities for development
of the natural resources of the south
are discussed in an interesting man
ner by L. A. Downs, president of the
Centra] of Georgia Railway company,
has given much time and thought to
this important topic.
Mr. Downs points out that real
progress is dependent upon the de
velopment of both industry and agri
culture. He shows how by-products
of the peach and the pecan can dup
licate the growth of cotton seed into
a great business. He al o points out
the exceptional opportunity for the
stock raiser.
Quoting the figures as to the great
growth of textiles and the phenomal
development of the coal and iron in
dustry he says that possibilities in
other lines are boundless and have
scarcely been touched. The weak
point is the fact that so many raw
materials, especially minerals, are
j being shipped elsewhere for manu
facture instead of being manufac
' lured at home.
The superiority of Kaolins has been
I proved, but manufacture lags; for
I instance, there are no light colored
I face brick manufactured in either
I Georgia or Alabamh, although Geor
| gia clays make an excellent face
I trick, and there are about a billion
such brick made annually in the
■ United States.
Barytes (Ala.) graphite, Fullers
! earth and Mica all await develop-
I ment. Os fifty-two commercial min
erals, forty-four are found on the
lires of the Central of Georgia.
President Downs pledges the co
operation of the agricultural and in
dustrial departments of the Central
of Georgia in developing the natural
resources of the section through
which the railroad runs.
