II is claimed that one reason
why rice has never became q staple
article of food iu the North is be-
cause Northern people do not
know how to cook it. The follow
ing account of how q Kansas bride
undertook to boil some rice is
from the Winfield { Kansas Free
Press:
"A newly married Winfield girl
decided she would cook some rice
for dinner. She remembered that
her mother used to serve q large
potato dish full of the white food
and she accordingly measured out
this amount of rice and Put in on
the fire to boil. Imagine her sur
prise when it began to swell,
throwing of the lid of the pot.
She Immediately took out part of
the rice and put in in another Dot.
This also began to swell and to
crowd of the lid. Then she filled
the dishpan and the washtubs and
while the rice was still swelling.
she ran out, shut and locked the
kitchen door and telepboned hub
by to hurry home before the yeast
rising rice burst the window lights
out of the cottage. She knows how
to cook rice now and how much it |
takes to make a plentiful helping |
for two.

investigation. to-day said:
Cotton conditions in Dallas
county have fallen off du.
ring the last ten days. In the
northwest part of the county con.
ditions are better than in any por-
ton. because there we're not many
boil weevils at the beginning of
the season.
"On the government experiment
farm the weevils have been at work
since June 1, thoroughly permeat-
ing the fields.
1.-THE presence of the weevil and
the boil worm does not result in
the strength of the cotton plant
being sapped, cut, on the contrsry,
the action of these pests has much
the same effect as pruning the
plants would. It is characteristic
of fields infested by weevils that
the plants, as q result of this in.

at this time, the east

A Word to the Guest.

Our eye should be blind in the
abode of another
So runs the old Irish proverb. 1t
should be the maxim of the caller and
is opened to you, if you have a grain
of honor in your makeup, you will re-
gard as sacred everything that trans
pires under it's roof. You went there
on the invitation of it's owners. They
deem you worthy Of their hospitality;
the best way to prove that worthiness
is by being blind to everything your
host would rather the eyes of strang-
ers should not see, their ears not hear,
Few of us but at some time have
had the misfortune to have the dis
honorable guest in our homes. She is
easily distinguished. Sometimes she
hob-nobs with the servants or the chill
dren; more frequently she gossips
about the persons last visited, or the
people OF her boarding house, or re-
lates the gossip other guests as dis
honorable as herself told her. If the
present hostess is of her own stamp
she will listen to this, and richly de-
serves to have her private affairs made
the topic of conversation at the next
place visited by her guest.
The wise woman disoourages such
talk. She recalls another homely pro-
verb, which says the dog that will
carry to you will carry from you.
Then, this guest wonders why she is
not invited again TO the desirable
home. The reason is simply that of
self protection. The gossip inva riably
exaggerates and from exaggeration to
alsehood-unconscio perhaps-is but
step.

MAKE THE HOME HAPPY.
Everyone Should HeIp and There'I Be
Little Trouble.

1t is possible to nlakeHthe hunblest
home bright and happy. hearty well
come to the guests; music, if possible;
games, and the happy knack of making
the young feel that their opinions are
worth listening to; and that you arc
enjoying their company; that is the
secret.
Mothers should remember that their
| daughters matrimonial chances depend
a good deal OH the kind Of homes they
live in. When a man calls on IL girl
and finds her in a bright, attractive
about her, he naturally thinks, This is
the kind of home want; there is love
between the parents and the children;
everything is comfortable and happy, it
is the ideal home"
OF course the boys and girls have
just as much to do with the home-
making. They must do their share to-
ward the happy atmosphere. The girl
must help to lift the burden of house,
hold care from the mothers tired
shoulders, and the boy must be a COM
panion TO and help father with the
responsibilities OF keeping the home.
When a mother and daughter stand
on proper terms with each other there
is u firm friendship underlying the nat
ural love. The mother, with the mem
Dry of her own girlhood days in her
mind, is not too severe on the faults
and mistakes that the young daughter
is sure to make. And the daughter,
sure of d ready sympathy and compre-
hension, is not. afraid to confide in her
| mother. ~
The same rule applies with father
and son. Most fathers love their sons,
but they forget they were boys once
themselves and that youth cannot be
staid and wise and never kick tho
traces. Perhaps confidence between
father and son is quite as important
as it it's between mother and daughter,
and the experience of the parents can
often save the young people from many
mistakes.

plishment, Winton is-bores me to
death with it sometimes
"Really?" was the hooking rejoin-
der, and they began to look at the
sketches.
They were heads, most of them, inn
pressionistic studies in pencil or pastel,
with now and then a pen-and-nk bear
ing evidence of more painstalsing
afterwork. They were made on bits
of map paper, the backs Of old letters.
and not few on leaves torn from an
engineers note book.
They don't count for much in an
artistic way said Adams, with the
brutal frankness of a friendly critic,
"but they will serve to show you that
I wasn't all kinds Of an embroiderer
when I was telling you about Winton's
proclivities the other day"
81 shouldn't apologize for that, II 7
were you" she retorted. ut is we'll
past apology, don't you think?" And
then: What is this one?"
They had come to the last Of tho
sketches, which was rude map. 1t
was penciled on the leaf of memo
randum, and Adams recognized it as
the outline Winton had made and used
in explaining the right-of-way entan-
clement.

Jack drew day before yesterday when
he was trying to make me understand
the situation up here wonder why
he kept it? Is there anything on tho
other side?"
She turned the leaf, and they both
went speechless for the moment. The
reverse Of the scrap Of cross-ruled pa
per held a very fair likeness of face
which Virginia's mirror had oftenest
portrayed; sketch setting forth in
few vigorous strokes of the pencil
the impressionist's ideal Of the god
dess fresh from the BATH

he could find the word for his sur
prise. Then he tried to turn it off
lightly. There is good bit more
of the artist in Jack than have been
giving him credit for. Don't You know,
he must have got the notion for that
