How to Prepare These Delicious Vese.
tables For Table.
The eggplant is one Of the most
delicious vegetables that can be grown
in the home garden. The plants should
be started in the hotbed or in the
house the same as tomato plants. The
subsequent transplanting to the cold
frame and finally to the garden out
side should be the same as for toma-
toes. They should not be set out in
the garden until settled warm weather.
as the plants are very tender. About
three feet each way is the best dis
tance for planting. The soil should
be kept we'll stirred and free from
weeds. The potato bug sometimes
attacks the eggplants, often with ia
tai results to the young plants. The
best remedy is the paris green-bor-
deauX mixture.
The domestic economy department
of the Iowa State college gives the
following recipes for cooking egg
plants:

Council Meeting.

At the council meeting on Tuesday
evening, the usual bunch of sidewalks
to be condemned and replaced with
cement walks were up for considera-
ton. Among the sidewalks ordered
were one of the westerly side of At
lantic avenue to the Great Northern
depot.
L. G. Spooner asked permission to
build an eight foot walk with four
foot boulevard on Pacific avenue,
which was granted.
The bid of Peterson & burst to do
the sprinkling at $50 a month and pay
tho city $25 month for water was
accested. They were the only bidders.
A plumbers license was granted to
J. Il. Peterson.
Paul Spooner appeared before the
council and asked to have water
main extended to the barn on the
northerly. end of Atlantic avenue and
also to the barn on the end of West
Seventh street, and offered to pay the
initial cost and receive credit in water
rents. The proposition was accepted.
f. J. Jones appeared before the
council on behalf Of the Improvement
Union and asked that the money ap-
propriated to the Union for road pur-
poses be paid to them to be paid out
on the check of Engineer Cole. Such
an arrangement was accordingly
made.
On behalf of the Stevens County
Fair Association, Mr.. Putnam asked
for an appropriation to assist in de-
fraying the cost of new building.
The councilmen all expressed them
selves as favorable to the fair, but
knew of no way they could legally
make the appropriation, and the mat
ter was laid over.

Maguire's Corn Contest.

Furthering considering the plan
best to be adopted in starting The
Stevens County Corn Growers Asso-
citation, desire to say that the fol-
lowing changes will be made-nameIy.
1t is to stand that each member will
exhibit five bushels of corn at least at
The Stevens County Fair this fall and
the same shall be sold at auction on
the last day of the Fair and I will
make the opening bid of one dollar
per busheI and then the exhibitors
shall enjoy the prices offered above
the bid make as above stated. This
corn will be the very best of seed and
should sell at good figures and will
pay the boys and girls for the effort
made in the first years work of this
organization.
I am waiting for you to hand in
your names. So far I have only Is
names, we should have 100 but we
will start delivering the seed and Civ
ing instructions best calculated to
grow good corn as soon as 25 names
are received. DON'T forget that good
liberal cash premiums will also be
given as stated last week. Again
urging the boys and girls as we'll as
the parents to take hold of this in
good earnest I am,
Truly Yours,

Let The Water Off.

In hundreds of cases where drainage
is desirable it is not necessary to en-
ploy an engineer to lay out the work,
nor to use expensive systems of ex-
cavation. Much of the work can be
done by the farmer himself after the
exercise of little thoughtfulness
When the snow melts in the spring,
Or after heavy rain in summer-any-
time when there is standing water on
the field-let the farmer go over his
land and determine if the water, at
its height, seeks natural runway. 1t
is easy to see where water would es-
cape if few pla ces are leveIed down
to point below the water above
them. Place stakes at these high
places, and as soon as the ground will
permit of working, get busy with a
team, plow and scraper and cut down
these high places. When another
rain comes see if the water flows off.
If not, observe where the high places
are and again go over them with team
and scraper. Begin work at the lower
end of the natural water course and
work up towards the sloughs. There
may be places where greater excava-
ton may be required, and this can
often be done with a spade at seasons
of the year when there is a lull in
other work. Open ditch work of this
character for a few years will relieve
many fields of wet and unproductive
places now existing, and the farmer
will scarcely realize the cost, while
the expense Of cultivating the entire
field will be reduced and its produc-
tiYeness increased

Around the Garage

Since the members of the auto
mobile club have decided to punish
each other for ngentlemanly conduct
on the road. it is we'll to have an
understanding with road users. Every
highway user has certain rights on
the road-the driver Of an OK team
the same as the driver Of an auto or
threshing outfit except only as the
conditions warrant changes. When
al automobilist meets or overtakes
a rig of any kind, he blows his horn to
let you know he is coming. He never
blows his horn for fear of exciting
your horses if he reasonably believes
you know he is coming. You know
your horses, the motorist does not
and comes steadily on unless he gets
your signal. Now, Mr.. driver of the
team, if you are caught in close
place, have ladies Or children with
you Or for any reason are afriad to
pass or be passed, all you have to do
is to raise hand. The law requires
an autoist to stop his car and if neces-
sary stop his engine. And no mem
ber of the Stevens County Automobile
Club but will be glad to render you
every assistance in his power to help
you out. But don't blame the car
driver for rushing by you if you have
not signalled him. If your horses are
nervous we will gladly assist you in

it brown on both sides and serve hot.
Fried Eggplant.-Pare an eggplant
cut in one-fourth inch slices and soak
overnight in salted water. Drain, let
stand in cold water one-half hour;
drain again and dry between towels.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, dip in
batter or in flour, egg and crumbs and
fry in deep fat.
Eggplant Fried in Batter.-Peel, slice
and salt the eggplant as directed in
the recipe for eggplant fried in but
ter. Have ready the frying kettle
half full Of hot fat. When ready to
fry, dry slices of eggplant between
towels, dip in batter and fry in the
hot fat until brown. Drain them on
brown paper and serve hot.

DON'T empty and refill your radiator
too often with hard water. Arrang-
ments have been made with the cleo
trio light station to catch and save
some distilled water for auto cooling
purposes. It's ideal and a small tip
will make the boys that take the
trouble glad to let you have it.

Pedestrians should look up and
down the streets before crossing. II
in crossing a street you do see a car
coming, don't stop, and run back.
Don't run across, but keep on the
even tenor of your way as tho you
had not seen the car. The driver has
seen you and has figured on getting
by you without harm. The closer the
car is to you the more important these
instructions, for the driver can't fig
ure on you stopping or running either
way and will not run you down I'M
less you do some fool thing.

scientiously to observe the State
Automobile Law according to the
letter and the spirit thereof and to re-

''It is our intention to join the State
Association of Automobile Clubs so as
to derive all the benefits which come
from membership in that association
too numerous to mention here. The
purposes of the Automobile Club are
social as we'll as to advance and pro-
tect the interests of the automobile
owners. We expect to stand for the
strict observance of the State auto
mobile laws, for respect for the rights
of the pedestrian and the farmer and |
others who drive horses, for good |
roads thruout the County and for the
of this County and its |
We hope to hold meet
ings at Donnelly, Hancock, Chokio
and other points in the County as
well as at Morris and to make such
meetings in the nature of picnics
which will be enjoyable to all.
"And lastly, and most important of
all, we want the Automobile Club to
be County-not a Morris-organiza-
ton. To that end we want all the
owners and drivers in the County to |
join and become active members and
so we ask you to join US in our COM
mon cause" |

the education of them to the fact that
the auto is harmless to them. There
are about forty cars in our county
now and if your horses are afraid it is
necessary to accustom them to the
sight of them as they will be pretty
sure to see autos on any extended
drive.

A half gallon of denatured or wood
alcohol in your radiator will protect
you from freeze-up down to about

cents and you can leave your car any
place during this spring weather with

freeze up.

Many women who have never worn
mourning are at loss to know what
