When cakes do the most trying

your loss seek to repair it.
Unless the burn is deep it will not
alter the taste of the cake, though
perhaps it will be little drier in con-
sequence. 1t is so unsightly that it
must be covered up at any cost.
Instead of cutting off the edges of
the cake with knife as is usual, try
removing the black with fine crater.
This removes all the darker portions
and leaves smooth surface for icing.
Clean, fine sandpaper can be used
in the same way. The cake must be

from office, and even these members
of Gov. Johnson's, official family whose
relations, political beliefs and person

with the new governor until Nov. 1.
After conference with Frank A..

In speaking Of the situation Govern
or Eberhart said:
ut will be my aim to continue so
far as is possible the policies of Gov
ernor Johnson. He was elected for a
two-year term, and 1 am governor by
accident"
The death of Governor Johnson puts
an end to the democratic regime in
the state of Minnesota and already the
republican leaders Of the state are
planning to retain the strategetic posi-
. ton they have regained. There is a
STEADY stream of callers on Governor
Eberhart and there have already been
applications for the positions which
must be filled by the new governor.
Grimmer Likely to Remain.
Harvey Grimmer, executive clerk for
Governor Johnson, may be retained by
Governor Eberhart. Mr.. Grimmer is a
newspaper man. He was republican
when he took office under Governor
johnson. He was, of course, John
son supporter, but many of the state
officials believe that Governor Eber-
hart would make good political move
In retaining him.

appropriate for the legislature to take
