A Sensational Record

Jones Bros. of THE Oaks" this
week finished a private seven day
test of the Holstein COW, Beatrice
Konig Lyons 69248, which proves
to be an excellent record. She
gave approximately 9 gallons or
1928 pounds of milk per day.
The average butter fat test was 3.5
per cent, and the total amount of
butter for the seven days was
22.81 pounds, or over 3 pounds per
day. If the test had been made
while she was yet drawing on her
body fat, it would have been high
er. This COW has good blood lines,
being the daughter of Blanche Kon-
ing lines-the only sire in the
world having two 34-pound daugh-
ters.
She was MIXED three times a
day, at 5 a. M, l p. m. and 9 p.
M, and received as her feed about
so pounds of silage per day, all the
cowpea hay she would eat and a
balanced grain ration of corn and
cob meal, ground oats, bran and
oil meal fed at the rate of l pound
grain to 3 pounds milk. At the
conclusion of the seven day test she
is improving slightly and is now
making the thirty-day test.

From COffeYViIIe, Kansas

1t is always a pleasure to receive
letters from old friends, and herr
is one from Mr.. and Mrs. j.. J
Clough of 8O2 West 10th st..
Coffeyville, Kansas, who lived many
years in Laclede, that our readers
will find very interesting:
I'VE are having a nice winter,
warm and dry; in fact, too dry,
for water is getting very scarce in
the country for stock. Have had
two cold days. above one day
and 4 below the other.
we spent Christmas week
among some of the Laclede colony
at Walnut and had a royal good
time. They were all we'll and
are greatly pleased with their To-
cations, and well they may be, for
it is a fine country; in fact, I don't
believe it can be beaten anywhere
for the prices.
We'll, our town is going ahead
all the time with a steady growth.
Quite a number of houses under
construction at this time.
I'VE are both we'll and enjoy
this nice winter weather, and :, ,hoye
all, the best is our natural gas for
fuel and lights. There is nothing
that can equal it for fuel and never
will be. Will close by extending a
cordial invitation to you and yours
and all the old friends of Laclede
and vicinity to come down and see
US, for the latch string will be on
the outside of the door all the
time"

NJ. E. Church Notes

Notwithstanding the icy con-
dition of the streets, there were 136
in Sunday school Sunday morning.
Uncle Seth Samson of Baldwin,
Kansas, a local preacher in the
Methodist church, gave the school
a nice talk, reminding them of the
privileges they enjoy in these times
in contrast to his own early life.
His church was a log structure
with CREASED paper for windows;
split logs with the smooth side up
for seats, and a place left in the
center of the room where they built
fire to keep warm. Uncle Seth
is a great uncle of Mrs. w. H.
Woods.
The quarterly conference author
lied the pastor to employ Miss Mae
Phillips to assist in the special SER
vices to be held about the first of
March. Miss Phillips is we'll known
in the conference and is lady of
culture and a strong gospel preach
er. She has held some of the most
successful meetings ever held in
North Missouri.
Bro. H. F. Englehart is still
confined to the house from the
operation performed on his foot

WINTER HAS REALLY ARRIVED
Heavy Coat Of Ice Does Much Damage, But It
Was Much Worse Elsewhere

The worst storm of the season
began Thursday night of last week
and continued through Friday,
Rain, freezing as it fell and mixed
with sleet, made the streets and
roads very slippery and did much
damage to telegraph and telephone
wires and poles, and trees are still
loaded with all the ice they can
bear. The telegraph poles for a
mile east of town all went down
Sunday morning and a big gang
worked all day Monday repairing
the damage. Telephone service
has been badly crippled all week
and there is much to be done yet
before the lines will all be in work
ing order again. While some orna-
mental shade trees and fruit trees
have been broken down by the
weight of the ice, the damage along
this line has not been very great as
yet, but heavy wind would still do
untold harm. A light snow Mon
day night made the walks less slip
perry, but it is still hard to get
around. The damage done here is
much less than at most of the near
by towns, especially those north of
Laclede.

Some Evening ReVeries.

Accomplishments" :" We like
such sentiment, and we like, too, a
spirit that dares speak out for the
right in this over-accomplished
age. A woman who fails in her
home fails in all. Home is wo-
mans realm, given into her hands
to regulate, govern and beautify.
If she fails here she may look in
vain for another kingdom, for she
has failed in the only spot where
she could have ultimately succeed
ed. She has laid down the jewels
which God gave her to brighten
and polish, and in their place finds
nothing but dust and ashes. It is
a conceded fact that there is no
evil without a remedy, and it be-
comes us to inquire, where is the
evil and what is the care?
A. young girl loves devotedly.
She takes the sacred name of wife,
thoughtless of the responsibilities
which her position involves. She
marries with an honest desire to
make her home happy one but,
not being clad in the armor of a
well-drilled housekeeper, she fails.
Her accomplishments lose their
power; day by day she feels her
utter unfitness for her station, un-
til at last she despairs Of ever max
ing a cheerful home for her hus-
band.
Is the young wife to blame? We
think the fault is further back.
Just as the twig is bent the tree
is Inclined" but the twig cannot
bend itself. If it inclines in the
wrong direction, the fault must be
in the hand which bends it.
Every mother should teach her
daugher just as she would desire
some other mothers daughter
taught that is to become the wife
of her son. Give her, if you can,
a knowledge of music, and other
accomplishments within your reach,
but with them give practical
knowledge of housekeeping. Let
her own hands knead the bread,
make the butter, wash, iron and |
mend, make beds and sweep, dress
jhe children, prepare breakfast,
dinner and supper; and then you
need not be ashamed to give her to
he very best in the land. She is
tilted for life; she will succeed;
ind if the future should find you
lone in the world her husband will
gladly welcome you to a home
which you taught your daughter to
make for him the dearest spot on
arth. "

EMBROIDERED STOCKINGS
ARE NOT EXPENSIVE
WHEN MADE AT HOME

The girl who affects individuality in
dress will have several pairs of embroi-
dered stockings to match her dainty
gowns.
These are quite expensive when
bought and are not difficult to do at
home; the only requisites are a knowl-
edge of the satin stitch, short embroid-
cry needles and enough flo silk to work
the design.
Select a good grade of silk stockings
black or colors to match your gowns.
Dainty designs can be bought that are
easily transferred to the stockings; they
come in perforated patterns and are
very inexpensive. The most convenient
way to work is over a darning egg. Use
one thread of silk II the stocking be
light weight, but II heavy a double
thread is used. Cut the skein of silk
twice, as a longer thread Is likely TO
knot and cannot be easily Strengthened
out on a stocking. The smartest stock
ings are embroidered in self-tones-
black upon black, white upon white, &c.
Flowers are still popular, and If the
color contrast is not too startling they
are dainty. The flowers should be very
small and well scattered over the front
of the stocking. Any small conventional
design is pretty, and clocks, too, can be
worked as an added charm to the stock
ings -..

II you haven't a picture of the baby you

Who was it who said that a babe in

1t seems to me that is the way the
quotation runs, but whether 1 have it
exactly right or not, know that have
the sense of it and that whoever wrote
1t was a truth sayer.
A long time ago 1 read a poem about
a family with many little ones and the
mother was told that a good home would
be provided for one of them II she would
part with ii. So she looked at each of
her babies while they were asleep in
their beds and tried to determine which
one she could spare. You can imagine
the end the story. She kept them all.
1t meant more hardship and self-deniaI
and privation for her, but she felt that
she could better endure all these than
part with one of her little ones.

AS the pictures of the babies in the

COFFEE SHOULD HAVE
A PERFECT FLAVOR

Coffee is to France what tea is to
England, and it is strange that the Eng
Iish cannot make coffee any better than
the French can make tea. Yet the sue
cess of both rests on the same principle
to thoroughly warm the utensil in which
either beverage is made.
Provided that one uses coffee in berries,
as the French always do, there is no
reason why coffee shoufd not have per-
feet favor anywhere. When making tea
all the hot water should be poured on at
once TO bring out the flavor. In the case
of -coffee one should set about 1t a little
differently.
