these were covered up and we had a
nice looking, warm and dry house.
The window in front is 3X4 feet and
is hinged SO it can be easily opened for
ventilation. At the end of the house l
made a smaller window of ten panes Of
glass These window openings are
covered on the outside with 12-inch

door of l2th, which we can close and
leave outside one open on mild days in
winter when the ground is covered
with snow and we don't want the

1t required four squares of roofing
paper to cover the entire house, which
cost us about 1915. We buy 8x10
glass by the box Of 100 panes; SO the
26 panes cost about SO cents, and the

Tie Quality of Butter.

The quality of butter depends to &
great degree upon the food and drink
Of the COW. She should have clean,
pure water and wholesome food. Much
care should be taken in the selection
of the ration. The individual cow has
much to do in this regard. But with
respect to the part that is played in
handling the product of the COW too
much carelessness is evident in the
processes of butter-making. After
churning is finished the butter and
milk mixture should remain quiet for
about ten minutes in order to let the
butter come to the surface. A cup of
cold water will hasten the process
An old recipe says:
The butter should be carefully
SKINNED off into a wooden bowl half
full Of water. The water should be
repeatedly changed until it shows no
indication Of milkiness. 1t is impor-
tant that the butter should not be
pressed or worked during the process
Of removing the milk from the butter.
After this the butter may be pressed
into mass and salt to the extent of
one-fortieth its weight worked into it.
The water should be we'll pressed out,
but the less worked The more perfect
ly its granular character is main
tanned.

J.F. Dunwoody for State Senator

In its proper place in this paper
will be found the announcement
of Hon. ]. F. Dunwoody of Jop-
lin, who is asking the Republicans
to be their candidate for state SEN
ator from the 2Sth district. Mr..
Dunwoody is no new figure in
southwest Missouri politics, having
for many years been prominent as
worker for the success Of Repub-
licanism al the polls, and he pos
sesses the confidence of the rank
and file of the party in marked
degree. Indeed this may be said
of him without any regard to par
ty lines for he expects if nominated
to bring many votes out of the
camp of the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Dunwoody has been a Jas
per county citizen since 1884, COM
ing here from Kansas where he
served in the legislature in 1881
and 1882. He has several times
been identified with public affairs
in various capacities and in posi-
tions of trust and responsibility.
He has fulfilled every trust with a
thoroughness and business beyond
reproach. He has always taken a
keen interest in politics along the
line of clean government. He has
represented the shippers of south
west at different times before the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and usually gets what he goes after.
AS the head of the Brand Dun
woody Milling Company, he is we'll
and favorably known among bust
ness men over the middle west.
If elected he will, without doubt,
represent the district with credit
to himself and the satisfaction of
his constituency.

THE JASPER NEWS
Subscription Rates.
It's the Candidates Day.

This is undeniabiy the day of
the candidate. Every zephyr brings
him smiling to shake your hand (;
every daily and weekly newspaper
is full of him, to the edifcation or
annoyance of the subscriber, as
the case may be. But whether or
not the flooding of the papers with
the published claims of the candi
dates be welcome feature to the
average reader, it is the largest
factor in deciding his vote. 1t is
the cheapest, quickest and most
effective way for the candidate to
get before the people, and it af-
fords the voter what he doesn't
otherwise get-an opportunity to-
size up" the claimants for office
at his leisure. So large an element
has it become, wherever the pri-
mary obtains, that the meeting of
the candidate in person has become
more or less an incident of the
campaign, instead of it's deciding
factor. If the man measures up
to his newspaper notices, well and
good; if not the vote will go to
whoever comes nearest to the
standard of merit the advertis-
ing has created, for logically or il
logically your American voter likes
to imagine that his candidate is a
little better than ordinary men.
And. though he would probably
not admit it, the advertising he
reads in the papers influences lis
decision SO strongly that the candi-
date who saves expense" by
staying out of public print is just
as certainly defeated as if he had
never entered the race.
