THE HOWARD ANNUAL.

The students at Howard college are preparing to issue an attractive publi- cation this year in their annual. There has never been an annual at Howard The students have published magazine. the "Howard Collegian," which appeared monthly, but that did not meet the need, so the senior class, with the assistance of the faculty, student body and alumni and friends proposes to issue an annual. The board of editors has been appoint ed by the faculty and committees from the two literary societies who have here tofore issued "The Collegian." Professor Fowler, who has the chair of English. is giving very valuable assistance. and MT. J. c. Hutto, graduate student and in- structor in the academy, is editor in chief The associate editors are Messrs. H. c. Grant, J. D. Jackson, E. M. Haggard. w. D. Ogletree, J. R. Hudnall, D. H. Doherty and D. l.. Barlow. The busi- ness manager Is w. H. Carson and the assistant business manager is Richard B. Kelly, Jr. They propose to issue an annual that will in every way reach the high standards set by the leading col leges and universities of the country. It will be profusely illustrated with photo graphs of the buildings, campus, faculty and officers, students, students organiza tions and sponsors, and with sketches drawn by various artists in the college, the city and over the state.
 It is the purpose of the board to en- body in permanent, concrete form the in- visible. intangible college life and spirit.
 Editors are now looking for name. which will be decided upon by the board from tho suggestions that are made to them. They have offered a copy of the annual to the person sending in the best suggestion to MT. Hutto. Howard has had quite an awakening in athletics and this in turn Is rousing a strong latent college spirit among the students so that

C0EU MBUS FAIR IS 
 GREAT SUCCESS

Columbus. Miss. October 22.-(Special.)- Four thousand or more paid admissions into the grounds of the Mississippi and West Alabama Fair association is the record for today. the closing day of the most successful ninth annual fair in the history of the organization.
 The place was packed this afternoon as it never has been before. The students from the Industrial Institute and College, numbering 800 young ladies; all the stu dents from the Agricultural and Mechan- ical college at Starkvile who came over on a special train this noon. and over 2000 townspeople overfowed the grand stands, packed the field and lined all up and down on the fences After the foot ball game the side shows did land office business. Tonight the shows are being equally as well patronized
 The final night of the horse show was not attended by a very large society crowd on account of the strong competi- ton the local downtown theatre offered, The show, however, was none the less in- teresting on account of the crowds
 This afternoon was the first time this school session that the young women of the state college have enjoyed such an outing. President Whitfield gave a half
 
 The shows reaped a good harvest for them. The candy wheels came in for their share, and on every turn the girls in blue were holding little paddles trying their luck
 The fair was complete success Noth- ing marred it's programmes except the second night, and then the rain only af- forded a doubly strong bill for the next evening and afternoon. All the officers of the association, especially Secretary John Oliver, are due praise for their work. This gentleman labored faithfully to have the fair a great one, and the results speak for themselves.
 It Is also due Mrs. John Oliver and Mrs. Jack Morgan that they be mentioned in connection with the wonderful success of the horse shows and the society feat ures. Their work has been voluntary. just endeavoring to show the people what Co., lumbus can do when the people want to. and with their preparation and guidance nothing more could have been added

One Of 7he Main ReqUgltes Of
 Housekeeping 4 To Dlake G0Od Bread
Difficult Task, When Once Learned Every Effort Expended
 Is Repaid-Quick and Slow Methods.
BY DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

Since the lessons in breadmaking which were witnessed daily in the woman's de- partment at the recent State Fair by large numbers of women, there has been no little discussion on the subject of good bread and the best methods of ac- complaining results.
 Various demonstrations were given and the most up-to-date Ideas promulgated, and 1t was really a very good thing for practical housekeepers whd are anxious to improve their culinary talents and who take advantage of every opportunity to learn something to their interest.
 Two of the best housekehpers 1 know were talking about this innovation at the fair yesterday, when one of them said:
 Next to the housekeeper who can brew good pot of coffee, or cup of tea, the one who knows how to bake light whole some, nutritious bread, stands first in my esteem"
 Tt seems to me-" replied the other, that if you weer to reverse the circum- stances and put breadmaking before cof- fee or tea making that you would be
 
 is much harder to bake good bread than to make good coffee. And besides, bread being the staff of life, it should be given first place in our daily habits, for cer- tainly no meal can be properly enjoyed, unless we have this most necessary re- quirement
 You are quite right said the first speaker and l have often said. with many others, that If I could only get wholesome bread and a decent cup of coffee I could put up with all sorts of poor cooking"
 T think nearly everybody thinks that way" said the other, ana for my part the two form such an important item in my regime that l am almost a crank on the subject"
 The two then launched forth into a long symposium on the subject of bread baking and when l asked for their recipes for making breads of various description I was recommended two processes which the good housewife designates as the quick and the slow method" I eagerly grasped the chance to give my readers the benefit of what these practical women had learned after long years of experi- ence
 For the slow process, take one-quarter of an yeast cake. one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar, the same quantity of butter, one cupful of boil ing water and three cupfuls of flour. These quantities will make one loaf
 Add the salt, sugar and butter to the water and stir until dissolved. Break the yeast cake in small pieces and when the liquid mixture is lukewarm add the yeast to-it and stir until it Is dissolved. Add one-half the flour and beat thor oughly. Set to rise in ordinary room temperature, covered with a towel, for

six or eight hours; then add enough Of the rest Of the flour to make a dough which will not stick to the hands. knead 15 minutes. Put the loaf into greased pan and set to rise again In a warm place, covered. until the loaf doubles it's size. Bake h q hot oven 50 or 60 minutes until well-browned on all sides Remove the loaf from the pan and place it until cool where the air will reach 1t on all sides.
 The same ingredients are used to make bread according to the practical house. wife's 'quiclk" process as for her "slow" with one exception and that 1t that a whole yeast cake Is used instead of the quarter cake As to the method: For the first rising tho bread should be set in pan of hot water hot enough to bear the hand comfortably For the second ris- ing it is set in a warm place.
 ITO discover whether the oven is warm enough to put the bread into It. advises she. take a piece of ordinary writing paper and put it into the oven. If it turns dark brown In six minutes the oven is ready for your bread"
 ''It all sounds very easy" I said as listened attentively to the two processes "and now there Is another thing I want you to tell me about, and that Is your brown bread, which Is the most delicious l ever ate. It is so different from the Boston brown. bread although that is very nice"
 'T make it in this way" she replied 'T take one bowlful of Indian meal, one bowlful of rye meal. one bowlful of sour milk, one large cupful of molasses and one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in the sour milk and one tablespoonful of salt Grease a two-quart lard pail, turn In the mixture, put the cover on and set it in 10-pound lard pail, with little hot water in 1t. Then put the cover on this and place it in the oven.'
 And then she went on to tell me that she usually mixed the bread about noon and never looked at 1t again until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when she takes 1t from the pail of water and lets 1t dry off in the oven until dinner Is ready
 And then" she added, If you want a real old fashioned accompaniment to this recipe for brown bread you can take q large squash and after soaking, split down the back and place it in the cen- ter of your bean pot when the beans are half done and you will have a dish that would satisfy an epicure of the epi- cureans."
 That sounds to me like 1t would de mand corn pone, rather than brown bread" I said as she told me of this recipe
 q will give you the recipe that use for corn pone if you wish it'' said the practical housewife, which is from the book of Colonial Recipes.' and this par ticular one was used at The Rocks,' an old Virginia manor, many, many years ago. You take one-half pint corn meal (white), two-thirds of a cupful of sweet milk, two-thirds of a cupful of sour milk, one teaspoonful of soda, three eggs and a piece of lard one-half the size of an egg. Melt the lard, beat the eggs very light before using and bake in pans"
