But more about that later. About our scout meeting Monday night—the roll was called, minutes read and approved. The twenty-third Psalm was read and the Lord’s prayer repeated. Then we sang the beautiful hymn “Whispering Hope” very softly. We had a visitor—Hey ward Jackson, who told us about the Boy Scout work at Mollohon. As for the fair news—our captain, Mrs. Mamie Hawkins, became sick after a week of hard work at the col lege and at the fair. We are sorry to know she’s ill and we are hoping she will be better real soon. About four or five of our group were sick last week but they stuck it out both day and night. Thanks goes to Inez Culclasure who washed dishes every day at the booth. We had grand luck, even tho’ the weather was ter- ( ribly cold. I believe it’s the nicest j fair we’ve ever had and the nicest group of shpw people ever to come here.

Spic and Span Look Perfect grooming is dependent on many factors besides the style of one’s clothes. It’s .the spic and span iook from head to toe that bespeaks meticulous care of the wardrobe. Dresses that are not washable in soap and water are •‘best sent to a reputable dry cleaner, but the in evitable spots often can be taken care of at home, thereby saving the cleaning 0 f the entire garment. A good supply of non-inflammable spot removers is -ess’tential for first-aid treatment at home. Many oily stains such as cream or salad dressing will respond to a treatment of one of the absorbent cleaning powders. Always follow the directions on the package as to use. In using a non-inflammable sol vent for an oily stain it’s a good idea to slip a clean blotter or thin pad of fresh cheesecloth under the fab ric. Moisten another soft clean cloth with the 'solvent and go over the stain, working from the center out. If the pad and cleaning cloth become soiled before the stain is 1 entirely removed, chang tc clean ones. A little lukewarm water on a soft cloth will remove a £. igary or starchy stain from any fabric that water itself will not injure. When it comes to the pressing be careful not to use too hot an iron, and press on the wrong side of the fabric in order to avoid shiny seams Delicate fabrics should be covered with a piece of cheesecloth. * • • Velvets and Duvetyns Velvets and duvetyns are used so much this season that perhaps a word about their care won’t come amiss. Deep pile materials are not pressed but steamed. The earliest and safest way of taking wrinkles out of dresses made of these fabrics is to hang them in the bathroom for an hour or so, with a few inches of steaming water in the bath tub. Of course the door and window must be tightly closed because you want to keep all the steam m the room. Steaming over a teakettle Is haz ardous for both fingers and the gar ment. However, it’s a quick method for obdurate writikles. Of course you turn the kettle spout out from the range, then hold the wrinkled place between your hands high above the jet of steam. Brush with a soft, deep-bristled brush, and repeat the process until the creases are re moved. OFFICE SUPPLIES Merchant One day a farm boy 17 years old went into a “general store” in Pitts field, Mass., and said that he would like to get a job. Abner Davis, the proprietor, looked him over, said that he had found that most clerks were triflin’ and lazy and not much good, but that he would give him a try. The boy asked how much he would pay, and Davis said, “I’ll pay $4 a, week, but* I don’t expect you’ll be worth it.” The boy was delighted! Here - was a start. But the $4 would not keep him, so he asked Davis if he could j give him a place to sleep. The pro prietor said he could sleep in the back of the store, where the stock was kept. Then he added, “But I don’t] expect you’ll be much pood keepin’ watch of it.” The boy worked hard, sometimes! foureen hours a day. He tried to please the_ fault-finding old store-; keeper in every way, but the man [ never had any words of praise, let! alone of approval. Molasses was kept in the back part of the store, and one day the boy tracked some of it into the store. Davis criticized him sharply, and finally took 25 cents out' of his week’s wages. The boy worked there for five years, and during that time received hardly a word of appreciation. At last, the boy told Davis he was leav ing and was going to Chicago to see if he couldn’t get a better job. Davis said, “I hope you have luck, but I doubt it.” Well, that young man who went to Chicago was Marshall Field. He got a job as a clerk at |400 a year, and saved exactly half his sal ary. In eight years he rose from that $400 a year to become the head of the firm. When he died he left the longest will ever written. It had almost ex actly the same number of words as the book, “Good-bye, Mr. Chips. The will has never been broken. His daughter married an earl. Her husband won the famous naval bat tle of Jutland. He became the greatest merchant America has ever known. As young Field was skyrocketing up, a man from near Pittsfield visited Field in Chicago, and when he returned, he told Davis about the phenomenal stride Field had made. “Well,” said Davis, who was still running his general store, “I can’t see how he got ahead so fast there. He didn’t amount to much around here.” And perhaps one reason why ,he never amounted to anything in Pittsfield was because he got nothing but criticism—no appreciation. Appreciation! What a rare virtue it is. And how little there is of it in the world. You employers,—why don’t you say a few words of appre ciation to your help! It will buoy them up. And it won’t cost anything. Why put it off. Do it today before ■they go- home.
