keep on mixing and mixing until 1t is
so stiff that your arms ache.
Now you have reached the moulding
stage. Quickly, before the dough sets
and becomes too hard to handle, gather
it up in soft handfuls and mould into
shape. Here is chance to show your
artistic skill. Form the dough into cats
and dogs, and if you doubt how they
look bring the family pets into the
kitchen to serve as models.
! When you have made your animals
place them on oiled paper and set them
outside the window few minutes to
harden. Now bring them in and dip in
melted sweet chocolate. Use a big grain
of sugar for the eyes and strip Of
orange peel for the mouth. If you want
a very fancy bonbon, tie a ribbon
around the dogs tail and put strip Of
light -coored candy around the neck for
collar.
FANCY COLORS
You can make candy dough of any
color by the use of extracts. When you
have mixed the egg and water, and be-
fore you have added the sugar, you can
turn the mixture a delicate green with
a drop of pistachio. If you want pink
candy use a few drops Of raspberry pre-
serve, or plum juice for purple. 1t is
easy at this stage to color the dough.
If you want it very pink substitute cold
raspberry juice for ice-water.
You can make room full of bric-a-
brac in this way, or you can give a bon
bon party, whis is quite the latest
thing. For supper you serve dishes of
candy animals made by yourself. The
game is to guess what kind Of an ami
NAL it is. MRS. GREY-CANFIELD.

WANTED BY KANSAS.
Ed Titles Washington Mission to Get
Some Of Missouri.

The following fairy story is given
publicity by the Topeka journal:
Ed G. Little, private secretary to
Governor Leedy, is in Washington on
business, one result Of the successful
conclusion of which would be to move
the western boundry line of Missouri
east half mile or so, giving Kansas
narrow strip Of land extending from
the mouth of the Kaw south to the
Indian Territory. 1t is said that the
present Populist administration is
about to make fight to obtain pos
session of the coveted territory.
The claim is based on an assertion
that the present line is about one-half
mile further west than the line estab-
lished by the original survey of 1920,
when Missouri was laid out as a state.
The original line started from Il
given point in the Missouri river and
it is now asserted that by the river
changing its course, the western
boundary line was moved further west
under u later survey.
A consequence of the moving Of the
state line, in accordance with the
plans of the Kansas people would be
to give Kansas City, Kas., a half mile
slice of the most valuable property
now belonging to Kansas City, Mo.
While Ed is in Washington he
might lay claim to the whole of Kan
sas City as she really belongs to Kan
sas and if any individual can make
the authorities believe in our claim,
Ed is tie man.

such high temperature was expert

Heavy storms have occurred in north
west Kansas and the Smoky Hill is
rising rapidly, 1t is reported that
the Solomon has risen 20 feet at Be-

thunder showers and cooler weather.
Sunday the mercury reached 81 and
in the evening storm seemed certain
to come. But the reports are that it
came no nearer town than the north
tier Of townships in this county.
There n rain Of some half an inch
fell, with some hail in the northern
edge, doing no serious damage.
OF course the spring crops look
withered but the ground is 50 well
filled with moisture that no great in

that in Ridge where no rain has fallen
for u month crops are all right.
Frank Huff of Sherman says that
there is not serious damage there.
Chinch bugs are being developed by
the dry weather but it is not thought
that wheat will be much hurt by
them, Many fields Of wheat are ready
for harvest and work will begin this

SCHOLARSHIPS REWARD.
Another Abileneite Receives a Mer.
tied College Degree.

Abilene is becoming known as ore
of the cities Of Kansas where hard

complished.

the action of the College of Emporia
yesterday in comforting the degree of

city, in regular course, and as the re-
suit of carrying on postgraduate work
since leaving his alma mater in Penn

D., under whose tutorship the work
has been done, deserves commenda-
ton for its thoroughness and scope.
He should enjoy seeing his pupils

A. NJ"
1t is credit to have colleges
honors come in this way, as it is a
recognition of growth both in mind
and scholarship. Abilene should be
proud of the honors that have thus
come to the city in the past few years.
They speak volumes for the higher
life and culture of the community,
while they are also evidence of indi-
vidual advancement and study de-
serving of praise.

LETTER HEADS FOR FARMERS.
A Sensible and Businesslike Idea
Worth Acting Upon.

A leading farmer and stock dealer
made a remark to the REFLECTOR the
other day that is worth calling atten-
ton TO. Speaking of business meth
DDS for farmers, he said; "How many
farmers have printed letter heads.
They cost but little, and they add con-
siderable to the tone and appearance
of your letter. You know the most
of us are not very expert penmen.
Our fingers are jammed up by hard,
heavy work, making smooth penman-
ship an impossibility. But thank
the Lord tina, il is readable If it isn't
smooth. have never yet received a
letter from farmer that | couldn't
make something out of it, and that is
more than can say for some profess
sonal men.
when get letter from a farmer
written under neatly printed head,
| make up my mind that am dealing
with man possessing some enterprise
and ! naturally respect him more than
| do the chap who writes on the fly
leaf of some old book, or on a part of
an old almanac that has been used as
a fly roost for couple of years. |
always feel like answering that kind
of a letter on a postal card. I'll never
get anything ont of it anyway, and
its cheaper than 2-cent stamp"
Don't be ashamed of your business.
Let people know that You are a farmer
and that you are proud of it. Adver-
tise your business as other business
men do, and compel others to respect
you because of your enterprise.

EDWARDS LITTLE GAME.
Not a State Line But a Sweetheart
Keeps Him Away.

The Washington correspondent of
the Kansas City Journal has camped
on Ed Lttle's trail and says it is not
the state line that keeps him at Wash
ington but something a good deal
sweeler. He says: The warm facts
are Little has a girl Don't Jump,
but it's so, and for a wonder he is try
ing to keep it quiet, and has succeed
ed up to date all right. He has a
friend, also. in the land office and this
time the friend was used in the state
line decoy scheme The land Office
clerk chased into print, looked fright
ened and tried to act mysterious, and
succeeded. All this set things going
on state line this time.
Some time ago Little worked a sim
liar scheme in the state department.
He came to see his girl. But it hap
pened that the public was fearfully
palled with information about how
the Cleveland administration was
compelled to make financial allow
ances to the former consul general at
Cairo for enforcing prohibition and
anti-gambling laws in the south end
of Cairo. This thing went on until a
very respectable New York paper be-
came very much excited. All the
while Mr.. Little was mostly smiles.
Down the river to shad bake,
"Planked shad," and not by boat,
which is looked upon as great lux,
ury, but by carriage. A ten mile
drive through the beautiful Maryland
scrub jack oaks. This was far prefer
able to the common plan of piling NJ
with the common people ON a boat,
just 50 this time. Mr.. Little has
been out to the country residence OF
his friends, whom he met while an
important parsonage at Cairo. lie
has had a room at the hotel but il
never "in,' always "out," but the
hotel people could not have giver
more information il they had wante(
to. While those fearful state lin,
blue prints were in the air, Mr. LITTLE
was located in hammock which, il
turn, may have been located near an
other hammock. and the GENT,
breezes were caressing native forests
with commngling of perfumeC
shrubs Such has been the state lin,
controversy that has been raging TO
days.
In this connection, what pity Mr.
Little did not come to the senate in
stead of the other fellow, who neye
can hope to want to come here TO
reasons as potent as can be shown b
Mr.. Little.
Mr.. Little did not take the trai
here tonight for home, as he had il
timated he would, but the train, afte
winding out of town, passes within
half mile fher country residence an
possibly the family carriage will b
at the suburban "Deer Park" static
when the train arrives.
Mr.. Little had nothing to give on
concerning the object of his visit. II
seemed in good spirits and very niue
amused over the state line game.
