EX.-LIEUT. GOVERNOR ALLEN
Is a Candidate for Speaker of
the Assembly. Experienced
and Should be Elected.

Hon. Lemuel Allen, assemblyman-
elect from Churchill County, will go
before the next session of Nevada leg
islature as candidate for speaker of
that body. 1t is not necessary to say
that he is worthy of that place as his
past record shows his ability to pre-
side over the lower house in the legis-
lature.
During his time as a legislator he
has been Speaker of the House three
sessions and President of the Senate
two sessions. In all these he has only
had one Of his decisions appealed,
and that finally was sustained. Ex-
Lieutenant Governor Allen is one of
the best-if not the best parliamen-
tarians in the State of Nevada and
can preside over body in a practical,
business-like manner.
The older residents Of the state who
have had the pleasure of sitting as
legislator, will say as we DO that MIR.
Allen is the only man in the House for
that place and should be placed at its
head.
There will probably be about five can
didates for the honor Of presiding over
the Assembly.

fee by a representative of the STAN
pARD, the marriage license book was
shown him and there remained only
fifteen more blanks. The clerk says

long, and If they don't hurry up they
will have to wait for a while. There
is some question whether there will be

Child's Bib.

An excellent way for making chill
drens bibs, and one that fully an
swers the purpose, is made by using
the regular yoke pattern, cutting the
back deep enough so that a narrow
piece of the goods comes under the
arm. Instead of the same depth yoke
in front, cut the material as long as
the childs dress, rounding the goods
at the side if you prefer. Join the
back yoke to the front piece; cut the
sleeves, and sew in; face the yoke,
neck and sides with bias strips of the
material. Two buttons will be sufh-
cient for the back. When finished you
will have a bib that not only entirely
covers the front of the childs dress,
but also protects the sleeves.

FOR cANDIED ORANGE PEEL.
DeIicacy That May Very Easily Bo
Made at Home.

This is so nice to use with mince
meat or in fruit puddings, and it can
be made at home so reasonably that
It will pay the housewife If she has
time to prepare it now. Cut oranges
in half and scoop cut all the pulp,
or if the rinds of peeled oranges are
to be used, keep in as good shape
as possible. Put the rinds into a
basin, cover with lightly salted water,
and let them soak for a week. At
the end of that time drain and put in
to stew pan containing a thin sirup
made with two pounds of sugar to
every two quarts of water. Boil half
an hour. In another sauce pan have
sirup made from two pounds of
sugar and a cup of water, and cook
over the fire until thick sirup. Put
the rinds into this thick sirup and
cook until the sugar candies on them.
Take out, put on a sieve laid ON
platter to save all the siIup that
might drip, and dry in a coolish oven.
When quite dry put in wide mouthed
bottles or glass cans and fasten Sc
curely.
