George B. Winship, for 80 years own
er of the Grand Forks Herald, which he
established as weekly paper in the

the Herald, his retirement from the

This announcement came as the fore

taking over of these two papers by a
new corporation, the organization of
which has not been completed, but
which is backed by Grand Forks CAPT.

Mr.. Winship's retirement from the

has long been prominent in the work.

HOW TO. COOK. MUSHROOMS
Variety Of Combinations Can Be

A Philadelphia hostess noted for

for various combinations that have

says What the reason none of. her

supper is that she always has fresh:
mushrooms, never the canned Or
bottled sort, and always has them
cooked for ten minutes or so before
adding the various tid-bits that 60 to
make up the delectable whole. Mush-
rooms require more. cooking than
most persons think, and should be
thoroughly done before they are
served, no matter how much the I'M
patient ones may say, ooh, they are
cooked enough; they will not harm
me-" as. every. chatting dish cook has
heard them say at times. An Italian
dish which this hostess has discov.
cred consists of oysters scalloped
with macaroni and served with a
mushroom sauce. Cheese is omitted
and paprika takes the place Of cay
enne to make the flavor more delf-
cate, otherwise the oysters and maca-
roni alternate and are fecked with
butter, as in other ways of scaTloping,
and the dish is one for the gods. 49,.
