Magnificent List of Prizes for Those
Who Try—All Parts of the County
Represented and Some Con-*
tests Already at Work.
About the biggest thing going on in
thll county f« day, and the thlac most
talked about in the various homes, is
the Messengers Free Voting Contest,
which started off this week with a
spirit of enthusiasm and interest,
which is boynd to keep it constantly
before the public.
The list ot' prizes is so magnificent,
containing so many premiums worth
working for that it seems as if each
active participant in the contest would
get something of value, even if she
does not get first or second place, while
the chance to get a $400.00 piano for
few week's work does not come
every day.
The prize list as announced last
week amounts to about $400.00. This
amount will be increased by special
prizes which we will offer from time
to time.
These prizes are open to fair com-
petition among the young ladies who
live in this and adjoining counties. No
other restriction is offered.
What is the ob]ect of this generosi-
ty? How can we afford to give these
prizes? We will answer for the bene-
fit of the skeptical. This may look
like generosity on our part but it is
not. It is strictly a business proposi-
tion with us. We have calculated the
cost and the outcome. We want an
Increase in subscription, and ad-
vertising. In short we want to
build up the business of our paper and
plant. We have taken this means to
help the girls, the merchants, the town
and the country, as well as ourselves.
I^et us all hustle and build up to-
gether.

CHICKEN.
The common practise of wring-
ing chickens by the head, twist-
ing the nick and throwing them
upon the ground to flounder till
they die Is not only Inhumane
but injurious to the food, as the
well-known effect of frightening
cattle would Indicate. It is bet-
ter to decapitate the chicken at
once and allow as much blood as
possible to flow by Immediately
suspending It. A high block
may be arranged and the
chicken firot tied at the
feet with a cord impended
so that the neck will clear the
ground when It is released after
decapitation. The fowl should
then be completely cleaned, and
used as soon as practicable, In-
stead of being allowed to remain
long in cold storage, and it is
especially Important that it
should be used soon ifter being
taken from the refrigerator and
exposed for sale.

Stained and Oiled This Wood Offers
Surface That Wears Well and is
Kept Clean With Little 4
Labor.
If you must hKVe hardwood, avoid
wbite ash, which splinters and turns
gray. Maple has many admirers for
Its hard whiteness, but requires al-
most dally scrubbing to maintain that
whiteness, and varnish wears off seem
ingly overnight. Red oak has a rich
tone and withstands use without
screaming for the dally scrubbing
brush.
My own preference. §ays Maude li
Hymers In Farm and Home, is for
southern pine, stained and ollod (nev
er varnished), since the hard wear of
a kitchen keeps it constantly scarred,
and varnish cannot be renewed in
spots without having a patchy look.
The only remedy is to remove It and
apply a new coat, but varnish re-
mover is both expensive and labori-
ous to apply. Paint Is open to sim-
ilar objections, with the possible ex
ceptlon that It "patches" better.
Possibly the moat permanent stain
for pine is also one of the most lnex
pensive, consisting only of perman-
ganate of potash. This can be pur
chased at any drug stor9, and needs
only to be mixed with water, in the
proportion of one-quarter ounce to a
quart of water. Have floor thorough
ly clean and dry and apply the mix
ture with a brush, freely and evenly.
If a very dark shade Is desired, make
two applications, but the addition of
the oil makes It dark enough for
most tastes.
When thoroughly dry, oil with
burnt linseed oil, heated, or an emul-
sion of beeswax and turpentine. The
former is quicker to apply, needing
simply two soft cloths, one to apply
It, the other to wipe away the super
fluous oil. The latter, however, g1v««
a higher polish and may be rubbed
to a beautiful luster Either finish
will repel grease sr^ta
In applying the permanganate of
potash do not be alarmed if st first
your floor takes on an undesirable
magenta color; this will subside al
most immediately, changing to s dark,
rich brown, a genuine Havana stain,
utterly lmperrlous to water.
Home Rule Passes
Ix>ndon.—The home rule bill passed
its first reading in the house of com-
mons by a vote of 360 to 266. The an
houncement of the figures were r *
celved with deafening ministerial
cheers and the waving of hats and
handkerchiefs.
State of Oklahoma. Cleveland County,
Ball Player Dies
Terre Haute, Ind.—"Ace" Stewart,
one time member of the Chicago Na-
tional League baseball club and a na-
tive of Terre Haute, died here, aged
43.
Dies of Meningitis
Nowata, Okla.—Nelson Whitley,
aged 1 , who was stricken with menin-
gitis died. His father, W. W. Whitley,
is at a point in Texas 100 miles from a
railroad station and could not be no-
titled. The last bit of serum in the
city was given to young Whitley, but
it had no beneficial effect.

To Stain White Kid Black.
Simple treatment with solution of
Iron sulphate or copperas will dye
leather black. Acetate of iron may
also be used with advantage. The
leather might first be mordanted with
a solution of logwood extract diluted
with a little alcohol, applied several
times till the deepest tint Is obtained,
also is a stain used for coloring white
kid black. It should be applied with
a brush, the kid held on a form to
keep its shape, and the leather should
be rubbed with a soft cloth while dry
lng to soften the fibre. Any of these
stains applied thoroughly to give the
darkest tint will blacken light leather
articles sufficiently to prolong their
service, though, of course, falling to
achieve results entirely like the new
article.

SIZE DOESN'T COUNT
Size does not always count. The stinger is the small part of
bee but you soon learn which end it's on.
It isn't always the size of a bank account that we consider, its
the man behind it. We feel that the humble depositor is entitled to
the same consideration as the man who owns a mint. Our banking
facilities are at the disposal of all alike. We are here to help you if
we can. The farmer, the merchant, the mechanic and laborer are
all invited to become patrons of our bank. The size of the account
is not of the first importance. Come in and let's talk It over,
THE BANK OF MOORE
Daisy Luncheon Meat.
Take any cold meat—you may use
two kinds If you wish—and mince
line. Add enough good stock to moist-
en, and season to taste. You should
have about three cups.
Take three hard boiled eggs, place
one endwise In the bottom of a mold
and pack meat firmly around it until
It Is nearly covered; then place the
next egg and pack the meat around,
and so on until your mold is full. (I
use a round mold.) Be sure to place
the eggs on end.
