A LIVELY LETTER FROM CRIMSON
RAMBLER.

Editor Social Corner. Will you
kindly permit very much interested
reader to have a little space in your
very interesting corner? [ have been
a silent reader for a long time and
wait patiently for Saturday to come to
read the letters. If 1 am granted lit
tie space I'll try and come again.
Ma: Your really interesting story
was very charming, many of my
neighbors enjoyed it as much as I did.
1t seemed just like boys
l agree with Ready to become a
member of Social Corner to cure the
blues. I think it a good cure myself.
Clara of Canterbury: You are all
right. Hope you will keep things go
ing as your letters are very cheerful.
Janet: You and l must both have
the same recipe, for l make my apple
tainly have fine luck. One of my
friends tells me I am a Cracker jack
at jellies and pickles.
I am watching with much interest.
Only One and Housewife and Another
Normalite, just to see how they come
its lots Of fun to watch for anything
like that.
I told a friend of mine I was going
10 write to the Social Corner. She
asked under what name, but I did not
tell her. She told me she was going to
Jul L nave not seen her letter as yet.
I think 1.-The Editors Visitor was
very good. Come again. Dreamer
I would like to see Clara of Canter-
bury's recipe book. 1t must be a book
composed of very choice things.
Sweet Sixteen: I should love to get
just one little peep into that newly
furnished room of yours.
/ wonder who Gertrude of Ledyard
is 1 can't live many miles away from
her. I can look from my home into
some parts of that town. Is Gertrude
your own name? will you kindly tell
me in your next letter? Your letter
was all right. Hope to hear from you
again.
I have often wondered why there
were no letters from this section, for
everyb body round here has The Bulle-
tin.
I had to laugh when I read that
Faye Verna never saw any white
birches or any OK teams until she came
to Connecticut Out our way she
would see enough of them. for there
are lots of both now at the present
time. One of our neighbors goes
everywhere in his Ok team He is IAN
old bach" and has a lady for his
housekeeper; and it looks comica1 at
times to see them out riding. Only
wish Faye Verna could see them. No
automobiles for them.

while the children wait.
Quick Made Cookies-One cup of
sugar, one-half cup of butter, one egg,
two tablespoonsful of sweet milk. and
two cups of flour into which has been
sifted two spoonsful of baking powder.
Drop on well creased pans by small
spoonsful and bake in a hot oven. Lard
may be used and then flavor with va
nilla, lemon or orange Cocoanut may
be sprinkled on the top for variety.
This recipe makes one dozen and a
half Of cookies.
Dear Janet: I love to make jelly
and make many different kinds, hav-
ing good luck with all. Let me tell
you and other sisters interested how I
make A Very Economical Peach Syrup
that we enjoy eating on hot cakes in
the winter time. When l am canning
peaches l make sure that all fruit is
perfectly clean then l save the peel
ings and kernels. If there are bad
places in the fruit they should be re-
moved to another pan. Put the peel
ings and kernels in a kettle on the
back of the stove and add sufficient
water to cover. Let stand for some
time while cooking and canning the
fruit then place over the fire and al
low it to boil a few moments. Remove
from the fire and strain adding about
one-half as much sugar as liquid.
Place over the fire and boil until the
proper consistency for table use. /
put this in screw cup jars such as the
fruit compounds are purchased in.
Now 1 want to tell you all how to
make two kinds of jelly in one kettle.
Follow your usual recipe if you please
for making apply jelly. l make mine
the same as Janet, only I don't use
quite pound for pound as we prefer
the stronger fruit flavor that comes
from boiling down a little more. When
the apple jelly is ready to can you
may proceed to can one-half then
place the remainder on the back of the
range. Stir into this with care suffi-
cient pineapple syrup or extract to
make a nice pineapple flavor. 1t is
difficult to tell the exact quantity be-
cause the strength of the extracts vary
so much. Flavor to suit your own
taste.
This is our favorite jelly; and pre-

SUGGESTIONS AND CHAT FROM
FRANK.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:
/ send few hints which l hope some
sister will find useful:
To make pie plant produce double
Crop, pull all the old stalks in August,
give a heavy top-dressing after having
thoroughly stirred the soil around it.
The rhubarb will grow rank and ten
der as in the spring and will make the
best of jelly and marmalade for winter
before frost
When cooking beet-Ieaf greens try
adding one-third lettuce leaves. They
will make a pleasant change in the
flavor.
Dear Ma. the prescribed dry place
in your last letter as being good for
rheumatism was all right. l am no
last springs chicken; but feel ten
derer than a healthy one. l thank you,
realizing that a Ma would give good
care.
Dear Sister Ready: Thanks to you
for your expressed willingness to lend
helping hand.
1t does one good to read the many
interesting letters in the Social Corner
from such lively, good-hearted sisters.
l must drop my pen-don't know for
how long. Best wishes to all in this
home band. FRANK.

A WORD ABOUT RECIPES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:
We are determined that we will have
the recipes in this department just as
care we have had the best of luck;
but last week unusual errors crept in
much to our annoyance, and upon in
vestigation we found an abbreviating
system had been largely the cause.
II t." or II c." might mean to a
printer one tank or one chest, and to
. cook the first might mean a tea
tablespoon, or the reverse. An Id. that
cannot be told from tb. is as likely
to get set tub as pound; and because
of this careless abbreviating we have
resolved to mark out this sort of work
in future. We cannot afford to have
the Sisters losing material because Of
such mistakes in this department. 1t
calls for carefulness on the part of all,
and the strictest watchfulness on our
part, which we try to give.
We think the song from r. Duane
Bromley this week, entitled Danish
That Frown," will afford our readers
much pleasure; and we feel sure it is
sweet enough to be set to music.
The Social Corner Story by Mrs. E.
c. T., entitled "A Mix-Up in Sugar."
which will appear next week will be
amusing to our readers.
We have story by Ruth which will
conclude the series; and should the
Sisters desire another series of stories
in September will make the announce
ment and by offering special prizes
again invite contributions. This is not
the season for such work.
Our last competition was a great
success; and we have no doubt of our
ability to do as we'll again, or even
better-SOCIAL CORNER EDITOR.

A Social Corner Song
DANISH THAT FROWN

Did something go wrong, my friend, today?
That you wear frown your homeward way
Smooth out the wrinkles, and wear a smile
Perhaps there dear ones waiting there
gray-haired mother, or kind sisters fair
Or loving wife, with welcome true;
And prattling children awaiting for you.
Don't take that frown to your freside bright,
Where, perchance, dear, loving hand tonight
Has placed your slippers and easy char-
Don't bring cloud the sunshine there!
Don't let your words cause grief and sorrow
Smooth out the wrinkles and wear smile,
You'll enter home in a little while.
Maybe while absent the true heart there,
Of anxious trials has had more than its share;-
Is waiting your coming patiently
Longing for few words of sympathy
Or little heart bereft of Joy,
With tear-stained face and broken toy,
Is waiting for you to fix it right
Do not take that frown to your home tonight!
Home! How much this blessed word implies:
You fill home with gladness, with sighs
You can hush the sound of childish nlirth
Or cheer the loving hearts around the hearth;
You check Old Times deep line of care,
Or help him to silver the locks now fair.
Oh! Danish that frown, and in its place,
Whene 'er in your home, smiling face!

ported to be a former naval vessel
and fully armed. The navy DEPART

that the mysterious craft does MT

cablegrams have been sent to the
commander of the fifth division at
Guantanamo and to the vessels on
special service in the West Indies to
look out for Castros warship. The
undertaking of Castro is within the
international prohibition of an armed
expedition, and as he is flying no flag

ADDRESS MADE BY ID. A. UTTER
At the IntermOuntain Good Roads
Meet, at POcatellO, Idaho

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen OF
this Conventional is with great
pleasure that meet with you at
this place, once the gate city
of the great undeveloped intermoun-
tain region lying beyond, now nearly
the center of the magnificent agricul-
tural belt of southern Idaho, COM
prising one of the largest irrigated
areas en- the globe.
The subject assigned to me at this
meeting -Government Aid for Public
Highways in the Vests one that
should receive our most careful at
tention.

after deducting reasonable per cent
for administrative purposes and in
cidentals would leave $500 per mile
for this system. The system chosen
by the commissioners would be more
practicable and probably less expen-
sive. In case the entire amount was
not used other lines could be pro-
jected as they might appear necess-
airy. A joint commission of this char
acter would dispose of the possibility
of local influence in determining the
location of the highways and should
make it impartial in every sense. BY
looking at the figures on the map
you can see that the engineer who
plans and builds roads in this part of
the country encounters natural obsta-
cles that are not found in the East.
and we, it's citizens, will be called
upon to bear heavier burden to
make and maintain them.
A plan of roads as outlined on the
map in color would make it possible
for the Eastern tourist to see the
West instead of France, Germany,
Switzerland and Norway, and there Is
no doubt in my mind but what the
good roads of those countries are the
magnet that draws him there more
than their natural wonders. With
these or similar trunk lines construct
led, our citizens would soon have q
network of branches running to every
large settlement, and in their work
on the road built by the Government
many expert road builders would be
developed, so that every community
would be able to build intelligently
and WE'LL The time is ripe for action
of this kind; the states are in great
need of better highways; thousands
of men who have settled on new
farms would gladly hail an opportun-

port their families while passing
the pioneer stage in agriculture, and
other thousands would leave their
money with their less favored bro
theirs instead of foreigners.
The automobile is becoming more
popular each year; what would be
the result if man from Chicago or
even New York could find a macadam
road reaching from the foot of the
Rockies to the 'Pacifi', stretching in
"a network of lines to al of our scenic
wonders? Would he come and after
seeing in leisurely way our noun
tains, canyons, rivers and lakes, our
forests, mines, orchards and farms,
do you think he would return until
he owned little of the West? And
do you think that with such an oppor-
tunity at his door he will allow OPP
position to request like ours that
will conserve our resources by legi-
innate use? | shall answer for you;
NO!
Some other plan might be found
that would be much better than the
one here presented, but l sincerely
hope some action will be taken before
the close of this meeting that will
bring results.

advice determine the proper plan and
materials for their purpose; that they
be authorized to employ the necessary
clerical and skilled assistants and be
held under bond for the faithful per-
Torrance of their duties, receiving a
reasonable salary therefor; that in the
granting of lands certain portion
of the grant in each state should be
taken from the forest reserve and af-
ter the commissioners sell the timber,
the land should remain part of the
reserve as i'm the case when timber is
sold by forest officials. This could
be economically done in Idaho on ac-
count of the large burned area in
which the timber will spoil If not
manufactured at an early date. The
moneys received for land and timber
in each state should be held and ex-
pended there, thus aiding its devel-
opment by creating market for the
labor of settlers.
