DeFrance In Charge of Trinidad Plant M. E. DeFrance, who has been manager of the Deming Ice. Electric Co. for more than a year, will leave the end of this week to assume the managership of the electric light plant at Trinidad, Colo.

He will be succeeded here by R. E. Thompson, who has been chief engineer at the local plant, and the latter's place will be filled by Tony Wyerts, another employe of the Deming establishment who has won the confidence of the company by the efficient performance of his duties. During the time that Mr. DeFrance has been in charge of the Deming Ice Electric the plant has been overhauled has had a great deal of new machinery installed SO it is now in a condition to maintain the service for which it was intended.

The government assisted in the installation of some of the machinery, demands that were made on the plant by the camp were greater than the plant, as it was when Camp Cody was started, could meet.

How Diphtheria Is Contracted One often hears the expression, "My child caught a severe cold which developed into diphtheria," when the truth was that had simply left the little one particularly susceptible to the wandering diphtheria germ. If your child has a cold when diphtheria is prevalent you should take him out of school and keep him off the street until fully recovered, as there is a hundred times more danger of his taking diphtheria when he has a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diphtheria other germ disease being contracted. -Advt.

COMES FROM ARKANSAS TO RECUPERATE FROM FLU Joe Childress of Pine Bluff, is here at present to recuperate from a severe attack of influenza, from which he suffered recently, and is already improved in health.

Mesdames Hon, Manhart, E. D. Osborn and Esch had charge. Prof. Conway and A.

C. Heyman, county agricultural agent, were present. Prof. Conway gave an interesting insight boys' and girls' club work. Mr.

Heyman mannered in a splendidly humorous which made him popular at once. Music was furnished by the Temme Mrs. Danse and Mrs. Osborn, Messrs. Smith a and Bernwick.

An unusually laughable farce was presented. As there is now so much oil excitement, the title of the farce, "A Visit to the Oil Regions," was very apropos. Mesdames Danse and Manhart Messrs. Camp, Hall and Penwell formed the cast. Judging from the laughter and applause, it made a great hit.

Mr. Twitty recited in his usual good style, as did Dorothy Camp. Little Irene Gregory and Alois Manhart finished the program with a little dialogue. Refreshments were served to the largest crowd yet entertained. A number of men in Hondale met Sunday with George Whitney to talk over the advisability of forming a recreation club.

That the subject was very popular was evidenced by the fact that in less than 24 hours two lots and about $150 had been pledged. The obiect is to erect: a substantial building, in which may be indulged various forms of amusement. Select dances will be held at intervals. The plan is to have everything done on a sound business basis, and it is expected that the building will be a credit to Hondale and that the life of the young people will be rendered much more pleasant by the opportunities offered through a recreation club.

There are many millinery materials that are always In style, as velvet and velvet ribbons, well-made flowers, laces, ribbons, straw hats, crepe, and chiffons.

They become soiled and mussed, but can be cleaned and freshened up by simple processes available at home. Now that spring is near, a becoming straw hat may only need repolishing, or to have the trimmings freshened up, to serve during the early spring and as a change throughout the season. For colored straw hats there are dyes which are usually on sale in drug stores, ready to apply, which will restore the color of the straw or change it to another color. There are several reliable dyes that will change colored hats into black ones. Most of these dyes give the hat a fine luster and it looks practically new, after dyeing.

Often a faded hat can be successfully restored to color by applying the colors mixed with gasoline, as described in a former article. Some hats can be scoured with soapsuds, as leghorn or Panama straws. In this case the suds is used, but with a view to keeping the straw from getting very wet. To restore a natural straw color, a hat may be cleaned with lemon juice and sulphur, A white straw may be washed with oxalic acid diluted with water. After a leghorn hat has been cleaned it may be bleached by suspending it over a burning sulphur candle.

Burn the sulphur in the bottom of a barrel, suspending the hat at the top so that It will not scorch, A felt hat may be successfully scoured with the finest sandpaper.

One can often make flowers look as good as new by these processes.

Jet Buckles, White Shoes. White buckskin shoes shown for the South show jet buckles of various sorts. Usually they are very effective. One method of mounting the buckle is to place it on a foundation composed of closely plaited black ribbon, which extends just far enough to give the buckle a little backing. Sometimes, too, white satin evening slippers show jet buckles, or small jet buttons fastened flat against the tongue section or the edge of the shoe as it slopes up to the instep.
