The Union Pacific has just
issued a folder map of the
United States which will be
mailed to anyone free upon ap
plication to Wm. McMurray,
General Passenger Agent, Port
land. Miss Madaline Rawlings, teach
er of domestic science in the
Independence schools, has been
elected to a similar position in
Albany and will no doubt accept
tlie same. Miss Rawlings is a
good teacher and Independence
regrets to lose her.
The city council has decided to
move all the sidewalks in North
Independence back to the old
line, a number of them having
been built or moved to a new
line wnich was not recognized by
the courts. Inasmuch as the
removal will be done tt city
expense, this possibly will end
the controversy.
' Sarah Bernhardt in her great
est triumph, '"Mothers of

pretnts a messase from the
mothers of France to the mothers !
of America. This is the greatest
the most tremendous
ever filmed in France. It is onr i
gy riding with hia best girl. Hit horse
waa just moping along. The lines were
fastened around the buggy whip, and
the lad was telling her of his undying
love with both hands. Suddenly I be
gan to ponder,
then sull,
and fret,
and envy,
and when I thought again of that boy,
and that ifirl, and that horse, and of
how they were all working together to
do their plain duty as they saw fit, I
thought also of myself, and my girl,
and the
steering gear,
and brake,
nd clutch,
and bad roads
that kept me from enjoying a certain
inalienable right that our forefathers
called the pursuit of happiness, and I
became disgusted and turned that car
around and gave it all the speed it had
until we got home. After all, what
we are in the world for is results, and
the next time I go riding I wsnt
a top buggy.
some stout harness,
moderately good roads,
a responsive girl,
and a horse that is too old fend feeble
to trot.

UepellenU will not protect fabrics If
they have become Infested. Even to
depend upon such repellent as cam
phor, molU balls" or tojjaccu will prove
more or less unsatisfactory. Custoll
woolens should not be stored in dark
closets or in attics, where they will
breed insects that feed on animal mut
ter. The floors and corners iu closets
should be kept clean.
Articles hi daily use, such us car
pets, rugs uiid clothing, are not likely
to become seriously infested. Woolen
garments, furs and plumea stored In
dark closets, wardrobes or bureau
drawers suffer most The greatest
damage is done in tbe summer, when
woolens and furs are not in use and
the moths are most active.
If such garments and materials that
are not to be used are carefully brush
ed, beaten, sunned and placed in tight
pasteboard boxes, tbe joints of which
are sealed with gummed paper, they
will go through tbe summer in com
parative safety. Such articles may
also be protected by inclosing in paper
bags and hanging free of the floor In a
closet or in the attic. Clothing put
nway in a closet or a wardrobe ahould
be brushed and sunned before storage
and carefully examined at least once
a month throughout tbe summer.
Trunks or boxes lu which clothing is
to be stored for the summer should be
cleaned and treated with gasoline. The
clothing to be packed away in them
should first be beaten, brushed and
sunned. In addition to this, garments
should be fumigated with carbon bi
sulphide at least ouee a month from
April to August.
