STORY OF A DOLLAR BILL

'rcn years ago farmer put his
initials on a dollar bill. The next day
he went to the nearest town ard spent
it with merchant. Before the year
was out he got the dollar back. Four
times in six years the dollar came
back to him for produce, and three
times he heard of 1t in the pockets of
ncighbUrS.
1.-The last time he got IL back, four
years ago. he sent it to mail.order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar
bill will never pay any more school
tax for him, will never build or bright
en- any of the houses Of the cummun-
ity. He sent IL entirely out Of the
circle of usefulness to himself aud his
ncighbOrs when he sent it to IA mail.

the pound, so If you paid $500 per
annum, you would be assessed at 30
cents per dollar and would have to pay
accordingly.
The description have just given is
not consistent with my opening re-
marks but the fault lies wholly in the
administration Of the law and not in
the principle.
That the country should support
the poor is perfectly right and tax
for that purpose spread lightly over
the country is the only means of rails
ing funds for that purpose. That 1t
costs more to give it away than is Civ
en-, is radically wrong and the rate
payers are themselves to blame in
this matter.
1t has gradually grown to its present
cost, the high salaries paid, the pen
sioEs to Relieving Onicers and the
huge palutial buildings to be kept up,
the high grade of material used, paper,
books, coal, etc, the giving of con-
tracts to favored parties and the high
price asked, handing positions out to
municipal favoritcs, al! combine TO

Selection and Preparation of Meat

Probably no part of the daily en-
pcnditurc for food requires as much
thought as the purchase OF meat, for
meat is expensive, and the difference
in price of the different cuts is not
always IA guide to the difference in
food values. Every housekeeper
should make a careful study of good
the various cuts.
Meat is the name applied TO the
flesh of all animals used for food.
Beef is the meat of the steer or
COW, and is the most largely consumed
Of all animal foods.
Veal is the meat obtained from the
young calf. Veal should be thorough
ly cooked. 1t is deficient in fat, and
has not much flavor: therefore, it is
advisable to season it well and to add
salt pork while cooking. Good veal
is pink in color and has white fat.
Beef is digested easily, and
healthy stomach will digest it with
out any trouble.
Meat is comprised of fat, mineral
matter. water, and protein. There is
about four times as much protein in a
pound of meat as there is in pound
of milk. The color of meat comes
from the matter which is found in the
red corpusccs of the blood.
The most expensive cuts of meat
come from the parts of the animal
where the muscles are little used.
These cuts are tender, fine grained
and of good flavor On the other
hand, those parts much used produce
tougher cuts, but they are often very
Juicy and of fine flayor II properly
cooked. The tough meat forms more
tlian half the ANIMAL but is just as
nutritious as tender meat. While, in
many cases, the tender cuts are de-
sirable and preferable for people who
have large income, the cheaper cuts
may be used to better advantage il
well cooked.
At the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, the students are shown how to
cook a cheap piece of meat so that it
is nutritious, palatable and attractive
enough To put on the rich mans table.

While the year is getting old and
our National festival is coming on it
Is a good time to take stock and see
where we stand, and s0hy we stand.
Let's forget our failures after they
are fully realized and the cause illum-
mated, and begin 1910 with new
heart. Never have we at Ordway so
much to encourage us for a banner
year Of 1910. Mountains already full
Of snow, lakes and reservoirs over
flowing and the soil already soaked up
most thoroughly. Added to this are
the booming markets-alfalfa $500 in
tield!-$40. per acre with no plowiup
or seeding; ground growing richer
every ycar--a crop that hail or frost
can not destroy; a sure profit; a clear
10 per Cent interest every year on $500
per acre, and no one prophcsies fall
ing market for years to come. Why
should not the farmer hold his head
erect, shave every week, have clean
pair of overalls every month and take
a bath every Saturday night?
Seriously speaking, we are too SOL
emn as class. We get too little out
of life. All of us expect some time to
make the competence and then begin
real enjoyment-the old story of the
deccitful Devil. If there is no enjoy
ment in the pursuit, certainly there
will be none in the possession.
Thorough work done in thoroughly
good natured way, will surely bring us
all the riches of true enjoyment.
The only loss have to record since
last "notes,"is that of two thoroughly
good neighbors and citizens-Brothers
