(By Joan Patterson, Extension Spe cialist in Home Furnishings, Oregon State College. ) Although "spring housecleaning,” as our grandmothers, or even our mothers, know it, has no place or necessity in the modern woman’s scheme of homemaking, the coming of spring still brings with it the urge to brighten and freshen up the house to harmonize with the "new ness” of the out-of-doors. One place in particular that is of ten in need of renovating is the kitchen floor. The first essential is a smooth, level floor, whatever its finishing or covering. Linoleum over wood flooring Is the best type of kitchen floor, as it is most easily kept clean. Inlaid linoleum, while It seems expensive, gives lasting sa- •=============== Dorothy's Beauty Shop BE PREPARED FOR EASTER With a Permanent Wave at $2.50 - $3.25 - $4.25 WILLIAM A. CASE, Manager PHONE 71 tisfaction. It should be well waxed when first laid, and occasionally thereafter. Printed linoleum should be gone over occasionally with a clear spar varnish. Linoleum should never be laid upon an uneven floor, as the broken or rough boards will break through it in a short time. It is always ad visable to lay It on felting to insure a springy, soft floor area and to pro long wear. If linoleum is out of the question, bare wood floors in the kitchen may be quite satisfactorily finished in one of the following ways: 1. Saturate the floor with hot linseed oil; let stand a while, then wipe off all excess oil with wool cloths. The average floor takes about two coats of oil. Polish, when dry, with a weighted polisher. 2. Instead of hot oil, apply a mixture of equal parts of boiled lin seed oil and turpentine, and finish in the same manner. 3. Paint the floor, using the best available floor paint, three coats, and then apply clear spar varnish for added durability. Whatever the floor finish, it will pay to give It reasonable care. Put ting gliders or casters on stoves, cupboards, chairs and other mova ble equipment in the kitchen will help to prevent mars and dents. Any thing spilled on the floor should be wiped up immediately, but it is not necessary to scrub a linoleum floor If a good coat of wax is kept on it. A wood floor does not soil as easily if it has a good coat of varnish. In each case, the dirt is usually sur face dirt and brushes off easily with a dry mop. — • =------- HERALD WANT ADS PAY USE THEM !

For many years the choice of most women has been the Maytag. It is built differently than any other washer.

Finds New Use for Old Tanks. ALBANY—Here is how Tom Me Kinley of Shedd solved the problem of moving heavy machinery from field to field across ditches without having to worry about breaking down the banks of his ditches or breaking down bridges. Mr. Me- • Kinley bought a truck load of dis carded hot water tanks, at a cash cost of 25 cents each. He cut out the top and bottom of each boiler, and by placing three of them end to end made a culvert wide enough for any farm machinery to move across. He laid them like tile and covered them with dirt. While they won't last like concrete tile. Mr. Me Kinley will probably get his money's worth out of the venture, says Coun ty Agent F. C. Mullen New York State's cherry growers hare presented 40 cherry trees to Fredericksburg. Va., to help make a boulevard of cherry trees from that city to George Washington's boyhood farm In Stafford county. • I. pl ‘ If b ‘‘As là, J ' à; 5 II Fir. - UEo : bind I 7 - “him 12217 I, / - owe Easter Mlurning illurship in Siermistn OUR LADY OF ANGELS CHURCH METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST HERMISTON UNION CHURCH FULL GOSPEL MISSION CHURCH CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH PILGRIM HOLINESS CHURCH BAPTIST CHURCH
