j TAKE CARE
Os Y our Appliances
YOUR ELECTRIC WASHER, for instance, will
give longer service if you will:
. . . Drain and rinse the tub thoroughly after
each washing and wipe off any soap curd or
lint which may remain on tub or agitator.
. . . Wipe dry the wringer rolls and frame re
leasing pressure on the rolls when they are not
in use.
. . . Wipe <’ry the connecting cord and wind it
neatly.
. . . Have a reliable service man look over your
washer BEFORE it breaks down.
. . . Above all, be careful not to overload your
washer. Overloading increases power consump
tion, increases wear on clothes and reduces
efficiency.

A soldier, recently sent here

on Main Street with its dust and
heat, framed by vast stretches of
desert, and shuddered “How
do you live in this desolate place?”
he asked a native .... The old
timer smiled. "As a fightln’ man,
son _ you’ll cOme to recognize the
strength of these surroundin's. an'
respect ’em The desert don't tol
erate nothin' soft, from Its thorn
bristlin' plants to the men who
live through it scortchin’ summers
an’ year* of drought . . . Western

his mother told him ,# What on

"I'm mad with him." said the boy
sullenly .... "But why?”

Saturday morning on Main
Street .... Men sitting in
groups along the east curb of
the bank ana post office like
sparrows strung along a tele
phone wire.

Seen on the way to Main Street
Sunday afternoon . . A dilapidated
car parked beside a cotton field in
the blazing sun .... a dog lying
beneath it. panting .... an irri
gator in the field, straightening
slowly, to mop his face after mend

the summer, is the land where a
man earns his dally bread by the
“sweat of his brow."

An old timer, well known on
Main Street, stopped for a drink
of water at a ranch house last
week, after looking over bis cattle
. ... A young lady, recently ar
rived from the east, was visiting
there .... "How is the cattle
business?" she asked brightly . . .
“Not so good, ma'am,” he told her.
“I lost one of my best cows this
morning.” .... “That's too bad.
How did it happen?" she asked in
terestedly . . . “Well, ma'am." said
the old timer; “I reckon the mild
est way I can tell It to you is. she
died In childbirth.’*

A usually cheerful business
man was sitting hunched over
a Main Street drug store coun

friend who breezed in . . . For
answer, he shoved the glass

Lettered across it in blue was

Cities, says a Coolidge resident,
have definite personalities
formed by the development, change
and growth of the people who lire
in them .... Denver, with its old
buildings and self-satisfied air, Is
like a fat dowager, bedecked in
antique jewelry .... Chicago is a
tough, leaning against a lamp
post with a cigarette dangling
from his mouth . . . Salt City
is a gracious hostess who invites
her guests in and makes them
feel at home .... And Coolidge—
WTiat Is Coolidge like? .... Did
you ever see a spoiled five-year
old lie In the middle of the floor
and scream and kick when he
couldn't get his own way?
Sure and you’ve seen him grow
qp to be a fine man. too but
that was after he learned the
meaning of co-operation.
