Order in Kitchen Found Vital to Self-Respect By Joan Patterson, Extension Specialist in Home Furnishings, Oregon State College. The maintenance of order and cleanliness in the kitchen is not only essential to the self-respect of the homemaker and the well-being of her family, but is an economy measure in that it helps to keep equipment in good condition. While there are many good cleaners on the market, there are few kitchen cleaning jobs that will not respond to some of the materials ordinarily on hand in most homes. Here are a few suggestions: Wood surfaces, Including uncov ered floors, woodwork, shelves, ta bles and other furniture require frequent cleaning, but their care is made easier if they are well fin ished with enamel, oil stain, spar varnish or linseed oil. Painted and enameled woods may be cleaned with mild soap and wa ter to which Is added a small amount of turpentine or household ammonia. Varnished or oiled surfaces may be cleaned with a cloth wrung out of 1 quart boiling water, 3 table spoons linseed oil, 1 tablespoon tur pentine. Water should be used sparingly on such finishes and only mild soap. Enameled stoves should never be washed while warm as this may crack the enamel. A daily wiping with a cloth wrung from soapy wa ter will keep the enamel in good condition. A little baking soda or kerosene oil applied with a cloth will remove discolorations which do not respond with soap. Never use gritty cleaners on enameled surfaces. Wood or coal stoves should be wiped frequently with cloth or soft paper. Rub occasionally with a cloth moistened with a few drops of kerosene or light lubricating oil. If blacking Is used, it Is best ap plied sparingly to a cleaned, slightly warm stove and then rubbed brisk ly and thoroughly with a dry brush. When soap and water fail to keep the sink clean, use a little kerosene or baking soda. The drain must be kept clear with thorough daily freshening with hot water or a commercial drain cleaning prepar ation may be used if it becomes stopped or clogged. Ice refrigerators need cleaning once a month or oftener. Racks, shelves and interior may be washed with warm water to which either baking or washing soda has been added. Scald removable parts. Dry all thoroughly. The drain pipe can be cleaned with a long, special brush then flushed out with boiling water and soda. It is best to defrost mechanical refrigerators according to the man ufacturer's instructions. Following the defrosting, the entire interior should be washed with cold water containing baking soda, then dried with a clean cloth. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Great Men Many great men of the past have not been recognized as being great until many years after their death, One of these men was William Shakespeare. His life was that of a common man in England, with no special occupation, except hold ing horses for English lords and ladies. His plays were written to enter tain the people of the "pit" who were only the common people. When he entered the field of writ ing drama, he had no regard for the future, and little did he realize that he would be remembered for ever for his remarkable works in writing. Men who are Bimilar to Shake speare would strive to do their work well and would not let discourage ment enter their everyday life. He has set an example for all men who wish to be successful in life. Mark Twain was another example of great men. He strived to im prove his character from the veiy first and made a success of it His spirit was built of the very fabric of truth, and he used only common sense in his writings. Like these men, everyone has a chance In life. We should make the best of all tasks set before us and try to leave our "footprints In the sands of time." H.H.S. Heppner Band to Enter Contest j Twenty-five members of the Heppner school band wlil leave by automobile early Friday morning for Corvallis, where they will par ticipate in the state band contest This will be the second year of com petition for the local band.
