Sunday It was 100 degrees and there was no breeze for relief. However, during the night a wind came up and was literally blowing a gale Monday mornlnf at VWch time the ther m°meter registered 70 degrees, With the clouds hovering above most anything can happen. The farmers dont want any rain at this time as every one was so late getting started harvsting on Which type of wa hing mech- ine does the best Job of getting clothes clean? Mary Beth Minden, home man agement specialist for OSC ex tension service, has this answer; No one type consistently gets clothes cleaner than others. The big difference is in the way the machine Is used, she said. The U. S. department of agri culture recently tested perform ance of the leading types of washers, she explained. Among their findings was that clothes wash cleaner if the machine is not loaded to capacity. Homemakers often put in a full load to save time, water or detergent, the specialist said. But for cleanliness, studies show’ It is lietter to put six or seven poupds of clothes in a washer that can take eight or ten pound«, for example. Though homemakers often have l«een cautioned against overload ing because It might damage the motor, studies Indicated this hazard Is slight In most washers. The big disadvantage of over loading Is poor laundering. Very hot water does the best job with cottons, research show ed. The higher the temperature of the wash the l>etter, within a range of 120 to 160 degrees. Water heaters usually give a sufficiently hot supply for good laundering, Miss Minden said, plater hotter than 160 degrees damages water values and hoses of washing machines and may cause burns. !»<?• I !•«•• I Dales Clothing WASCO v .

In those days smaller com m unities and sim pler needs could be served by concerns owned by one man or a small group. They furnished all the m oney—they kept all the profit, too.
