OF the river, with the prestage Of a
land Office, Orday would naturally
prove a most powerful competitor,
taking the bulk of the business which
is now tributary to Groton within
from six to fifteen miles north of here,
thus cutting off the best part Of our
patronage. Such is not the case with
Aberdeen. There is already one
promising town between us and that
place, consequently whatever the
developments Of the county may be.

OF the neighboring towns win be Aber-

At the same time it would be the
most accessible to those Of our citi.
zens who might have business at the
land Office, sit Is not an out-of-the.
way station. We would suggest to
our squirming friend, who always
puts up the bars, " to come out next
week and say he didn't mean q word
OF his suggestion to have a petition
circulated for Ordway. Wehave seen
many shysters in our time, but this
appellaIton will not apply to our
|neighbor. He is miscellaneous

THE OIL DEN TIME
Twenty-one Years Ago this Week In
Aberdeen and Brown County.
(From the files Of the Pioneer.)

MIR. Charles F. Campau, formerly of
Detroit, Mich, passed through to
Frederick with three car loads OF
lumber and merchandise to build and.
stock his store.
p. s. Jenne gave this Office "a pleas

winter but has come out all right.

and laceS. She uses soap with gasoline.
Almost everyone has tried gasoline,
often without success. But this woman
says that if the soiled spots are first
lathered with any good laundry SOAP,
wet with gasoline. and the whole gar
ment then immersed in gasoline and
sOusled about then scrubbed with a
good soft brush, keeping it wet all this
time. the result will be as satisfactory
as if the work had been done at the
best dry cleaners. After the cleaning
with soap the garment should be rinsed
in clear gasoline.
Every hostess is a law unto herself
when it comes to giving a Dutch
lunch" Sometimes the lunch is
Dutch only IN the matter of caraway
cookies, Swiss cheese. Delft china, and
tulips, and even when she goes in for
the real thing the table decorations and
menu are frequently Americanized in
accordance with her own ideas and
possessions
For one thing she refuses to give up
doilies. although an informal German
luncheon should be served on a bare
table without other covering than cast
ers for the bottles and glasses, to be
strictly correct from German point Of
view. To get something not inapprO-
decOra tons is somewhat difficult Little
iron or brass candlesticks in simple de-
signs are the best if candles are to be
used, and red candles and red tulip
shades go well with Hungarian EN-
broidery if linen is insisted upon. The
eabriolet. which is popular for such
coca sions. looks we'll
An effective centerpiece may be made
OF the broad low plate which is used
on German tables for the cheese plate
filed with little slices of different color
ed breads, white, rye. pumper nickel and
all the available kinds of cheese. The
more colors that can be gotten together
the better and all the cheese is cut into
frau Mo
sliced in such manner that each piece
has an edge of the red rind-the fashion
of spoOning it out of the shell being a
( distinctly American custom. The Neu-
chatel is also cut through the tinfoil
and the whole is made into a pyramid
with rows of radishes cut in tulips and
butter balls
Another achievement in garnishing is
the use of the little lunches of spiral
horSeradish shaVings which are used on
the Frankfurters. A truly German dish
IS a dried herring salad made of many
things beside herring. The salad may
nave a not dressing, but the real Ger
man herring salad has a dressing made
of the creamy part of the mich fish and
stirred until it thickens like mayon-
naise. Anchovies and sardels served in
the little wooden kegs in which they are
packed are also an odd feature of the
table decorations. but whatever is
chosen the menu is never so elaborate
that it can't all be placed upon the
table at once. This is made easier by
the fact that there are no sweets with
the single possible exception of the
wreath Of German coffee cake to be
found in German bakeries which is COW
cred with almonds and filed with all
mOnd paste and with which coffee may
be served as a finish to the luncheon.
The hostess should never omit onions
in some form as a feature of her Dutch
/ luncheon. They form an important part
! Of the seasoning of the salads and may

Miss 9. NJ. wishes recipes for cfNNaing
and picking or preserving celery.
CANNED CELERY.
The following method has been used
successfully: Scrape the celery-using the
tender white stalks-cut in lengths to fit
half pint glass Jars with large mouths;
pack the pieces in closely and set the jars
under the cold water faucet and let the
water run over the celery for at least %
minutes then screw down the covers tight
" and set away in cool, dry closet.
ANOTHER METHOD.
Wash and scrape the tender white stalks,
cut in lengths to fit the jars, set jars in
steamer and cook without water for 4E
minutes then add sailed boiling water,
and cook 80 minutes longer; screw down
the lids and cook ten minutes longer.
" hite celery can be put in inch lengths

For the Women.

The late Max O'Rel owed much of
his vogue to his clever thrusts at wo-
men. But he was a diplomat and knew
how to soften the blow to feminine
vanity The harshest and most cruel
things that have been said of women
have been said by women. Here are a
few of the famous epigrams:
Madame de Stael-I am glad am not
a man. because I shall never run the
risk of marrying a woman.
Sophie Acknowledgement give them
selves to God when the devil wants
nothing more to do with them.
Queen Christina love men, not be-
cause they are men, but because they
are not women.
Madame Necker-Woman's tongue is
her sword, which she never let's rest.
Madame Emile de Girardin-What is
still more rare than a silly woman is a
generous woman.
Madame Cecne Fee-If women took
care of their minds as they do of their
faces and figures the world would go
much better
Madame de I.ambert-The head of a
woman is a sponge saturated with pre-
JUDGES.
Duchess Of Orleans-The religion of
women consists in serving God without
offending the devil too much.
Mile. de Scuderi-Nine women out of
ten make me feel ashamed of my sex
Madame de PuysieuX-There are few
married women who do not make their
husbands jealous of bachelors.
Madame Charles Reybaud-There is
not one woman in a hundred who takes
care to be always amiable to her hus-
band and to remain beautiful for his
sake
Signora Riccoboni-Few women really
love their husbands. A husband is al
ways more or less attached to his wife.
Ouida-Women spend their lives at
tending to their toilette and sharpening
their claws-like cats.
George Sand-The moment woman
is sure of a mans love she loses inter-
est in him. and that is why marriage is
so often q failure.
Madame de Sevigne-Woman is the
embodiment of vanity and selfshness.
Lady Woman in France

Rebecca Smith-A beautiful woman is
almost always vain, extravagant, light
hearted and a dissipated coquette
Madame d Epinay-Men are not worth
a great deal, but I am not sure that
women are worth as much.
NinOn de L'Enclos-The vengeance of
a woman is to be feared much more
than that Of "A man, because in this case
there is no meanness. no treachery of
which she is not capable in order to
carry it out.
