Twenty Minute Soups That Cost
Fifteen Gents

One naturally turns, when thinking
of quick soups, to some form of vege-
table foods mixed with milk, slightly
thickened with a mixture of butter
and flour. All the green vegetables
lend themselves easily to this cOmbi-
nation. A little onion, a bay leaf Give
cents worth will last year, ten cents
worth of celery seed, with salt and
pepper give you the necessary flavor
ings. The roots, as turnips, parsnipS,
carrots, satisfy, beetS all require long
cooking. To utilize them in the quick
soups use the left overs. Carrots how
ever, can be grated and cooked in
water in fifteen minutes. A few left
over lima beans, Kidney beans or
other ordinary beans may be convert
ed into delicious soups, requiring only
twenty minutes in making from be-
ginning to end. If housewives would
learn to save every tablespoonful of
vegetables left over from the meal
they could make combination soups
for the next days luncheon. These
soups are nutritious and cost but little
In separating the roots of celery it
is wise to put the tops and roots and
the outside stalks aside for cream of
celery soup; the water in which the
celery is boiled for stewed celery is
an exceedingly nice addition to an
oyster soup.
Cream of Tomato Soup-Add a pint
of water to pint of stewed tomatoes,
a slice of onion, level teaspOonful of
salt, bit of pepper; bring to boiling
point and add one rounding table
spoonful of butter rubbed with two
rounding tablespOOnfuls of flour; stir
until the soup again boils, strain
through a fine sieve and serve with
| tiny squares of toasted bread
Satisfy SOup-Scrub and cut six
roots of satisfy in small slices; cover
with one pint of water; cook gently
for twenty minutes; add a pint of
milk, a tablespoonful of butter and
two tablespOOnfuls of flour rubbed
together; stir carefully until it reaches
the boiling point, add a teaspoonful
of salt, bit of pepper and a teaspoon
full of grated onion. Serve with oyster
crackers.

Let Us Forget.

Let us forget the day is cold,
The fire is out and we are old.
Let us forget cares that corrOde,
Let us drop off that weary load
Let us forget the grudge we owe,
By kindly deeds subdue our foe.
Let us forget the selfish deed,
The selfish man receives his need.
Let us forget the world of strife,
The daily struggle there for life.
Let us forget ourselves our sorrow,
The sun will shine for us tomorrow.
Let us forget that some are base,
And learn to love the human race
Della Hart Stone.
Honor to those whose words ant
deeds
Thus help us in our daily needs,
And by their overflow
Raise us from what is low.

Beautiful home making is the first

To most of us the best part of the
summers outing is the return to our
firesides and the pleasures and joys
of housekeeping. BY those who are
interested i'm any line Of wOrk-even

treasured; and the summer vacation
with its change of locality, mode of

new people. furnishes rich material
that we are desirous of making over

that with enthusiasm born of knOwl-

homecoming is looked forward to with

The subjects of conversation which

The shipment of oranges east
from California last season were 27-
900 cars, containing ten and half
million boxes. A railroad company
report declares that the growers re-
ceived an average of above $1.4O per
box. The same company estimates
the shipments for this years crop at
$4,000 carloads, according to the re-
port from which these figures are
quoted the charges for transportation,
icing, etc, were 1925 per car. Re
duced to crate unit, this would mean
about go cents for hauling the fruit
three thousand miles. Will some of
the Florida fruit shippers tell how
this charge compares with the charge
for the one thousand mile haul from
Florida Tampa Times.

SALTER HAS RESIGNED
NOTORIOUS CHARACTER IN PHIL
 ADELPHIA THROWS UP JOE.
Mayor Weaver Now Has Another Fight on With City Council Over the Repeal of Franchise fer
 Street Railway.

Philadelphia. June 12.-rhe principal developments in the local political sit- uation today was the resignation or Samuel sadter as assistant to thd chief clerk in the ofice of the Coun- ty Commissioners and the issuing of an order for the dismissal on Wednes- day of the sixty-five employers in the bureau of city property and fourteen in the electoral bureau.
 Probably the most interesting de- velopment was the resignation of Sal- ter, who some years ago, after being fugitive from justice for about year. returned to this city and was acquitted of the charge of stufing a ballot box In his resignation. which came as surprise to the citizens, Salter stated that he intended to go Into business.
 The election fraud case with which Salter's name was linked was one of the most sensational in the annals of ballot box crimes of thi scity Salter who had been a member of the Legis- lature and who was serving as deputy coroner, was arrested in November, 1899, along with six or seven others. some of whom lived in Washington, D. C., charged with conspiracy in placing 215 fraudulent votes in a ballot box. They entered bail and then fled. The bail was forfeited after along fight in the courts and when execution for the ball was about to be issued Salter and some of the accused men returned.
 Mayor Weaver was at that time Dis trict Attorney and he promptly brought Salter to trial. The jury rendered a verdict of acquittal. A curious feature of the case was that one of the defendants subsequently, in- dieted with Salter gave himself up. pleaded guilty to conspiracy and was sentenced to one year. He was freed before the other fugitives returned but could not be found when wanted as a witness.
 After Salter's acquittal the City Coun- cil created the position of assistant to the chief clerk of the county commits sioners, and Salter was appointed to the place at salary of $2,o0O year. One of the duties of the county commits sioners Is to prepare the election para phernalia of the city. After the upris- Ing against the gas lease subsided, some of the Philadelphia papers asked the county commissioners to remove Salter. but they took no action. Salter's resignation today, the commissioners say, came to them voluntarily.

 Duel i'm Tennessee,
 z Knoxville. Tenn. June 12.-Three men met instant death and a fourth was dangerously wounded in a desper- ate duel fought today in a blacksmith shop at Thorn Hill, four miles from Tate Springs. Tenn. and sixty miles northeastsof this city.
 The dead are John and VIII Holland, brothers, and Will Bundren, all white. and members of well known families. The wounded man is Clint Wrinkle, a negro supposed to have been in the employ of Bundren. Enmity has exist ed between the Holland and Bundren families for the past four years. It grew out of the killing of Colonel John C. Rosiere by Bruce Bundren, father of the man killed today, for which crime the elder Bundren is serving life sen- tence in the penitentiary.
 Trouble which was threatened Sun day was avoided, but today Bundren, accompanied by the negro, entered the blacksmith shop of the Hollands and after few words firing began. Twenty gs.ots were fired and when the smoke had cleared away three men lay dead on the floor of the shop and the fourth was mortally wounded. The Hollands used Winchesters and Bundren and Wrinkle used pistols. Will Holland and Bundren were married men, aged 35 and 25, respectively. John Holland was 25 and unmarried. The death of the Hollands will wipe out the entire fam fly with the exception of the parents.

THE STRIKE WANING
CHICAGO TROUBLE ABOUT TO DIE A
 NATURAL DEATH.
Nothing New of Importance Develops, Neither Side Making Aggressive
 M0ve-Investigating the Charges of Bribery.

Chicago, June 12.-The teamsters' strike has come to the stage where 1t will die a natural death unless new life is injected into 1t by the strikers. During the past twenty-four hours noth- ing of any importance whatever has developed. neither side to the contro- versy having made any aggressive move. According to the employers in- volved in the trouble. they have suc- ceeded in getting their business almost back to normal condition. and that in a very short time the strike will be a forgotten incident with them. The teamsters are doing absolutely nothing tn the strike, not a move being made either for peace or spread of the difficulty.
 The June grand jury today began its investigation of the alleged charges of bribery in connection with the strike which was left unfinished by the last grand jury.
 Several witnesses were heard, among them, being Fred sontag, Chicago man. ager for the Anheuser Busch Brewing Company, who was questioned in com nection with, the strike of the drivers employed by that coHpRny in 1908. Sontag was called as a result of the charges made by President Shea and former President Young of the team sters union against Levy Mayer, coun- sel for the Employers Association. Shea and Young charged that Mayer had sought to have them enter into a conspiracy to call 8 strike of the team sters employed by the brewing com pany because his firm declined to be- come a member of tho Chicago and Mill waukee Brewing Association. In this testimony Sontag stated that the strike had been called without any special reason being given by the teamsters.

ACREAGE REDUCTION.
Cotton Reports From Texas, Oklahoma
 and Indian Territory.

Dallas. Tex, June 12.--The Calves ton Dallas News will tomorrow publish cotton crop reports from more than 500 of its correspondents. The summary shows that acreage has been reduced in Texas 1887 per cent, in Indian Terri tory s.69 and in Oklahoma 1851. AL though picking will begin in Duval County, Texas in June. planting Is still in progress in many counties. On the other hand, much land intended for cot ton will lay out because the hot, dry weather which succeeded the long pe- riod of excessive rainfall has baked the ground. rendering blowing impos- sible. While the weather has recently been favorable for cultivation many fields of cotton are being abandoned.
 Weeds are getting rank because of the scarcity of labor now in the grain fields. Considerable damage has re- suited from the ravages of web worms Boil weevils have inflicted serious in- jury in only few counties, but are present in all previously infested ter ritory.
 Reports of irregular and bad stands predominate. The need of light rain is generally reported. In the terri tories the stand and conditions appear to be somewhat better than in Texas.
