Helpful Cake Making Hints

 Helpful Cake Making Hints
 Always sift four and K C Baking Powder at least three times. The more sitting, the lighter the cake. Remember thatl To cream but ter and sugar quickly, warm the sugar slightly. Beat yolks of eggs with rotary beater. Whip whites of eggs with flat spoon whip. Water makes lighter cakes; milk makes richer cakes.
 To mix a cake, first cream but ter and sugar thoroughly, then add yolks, if used. Then alternately add moisture and flour that has been sifted with baking powder and stir until smooth and glossy, adding egg whites after thoroughly mixing.

 Biscuit Helps
 Always sift four and K C Baking Powder at least three times.
 Have shortening cold and firm. Mix dough as soft as it can be handled. The softer dough goes into the oven, the lighter the biscuit when 1t comes out. It IS easier for K c Baking Powder to do its work in soft than in stiff dough. Mix biscuits very little. Dc not knead. Stir up with spoon or knife and press ill shape to roll on houred board.

A SURPRISED POSTMASTER. Postmaster Wm. M. Newell cele-
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-06-11

Business men and property owners
of Dallas may as we'll prepare for the
question of hard surface paving. 1t
is sure to come and the time of its
coming is at no distant day. Already
the sentiment in favor of placing
streets is here and it is growing rap
idly. At the present time, Dallas is
the only city of more than 1000 in
habitants on the west side of the
Willamette river that is not either
contemplating paving, or that has not
several miles of it already. Even
towns much smaller than Dallas have
adopted the improvement and in not
a single instance would the modern
streets be exchanged for the old dirt
thoroughfares. But the improvement
has not been accomplished without
objection. Far from it. In every in
stance the shortsighted ones have
declared that paving would be too
expensive, that its adoption and con-
sequent taxation of property would
amount to "confiscation. But, in the
end, the progressives have been victo-
rious and nobody has heard of any
loss of property. Once begun, it is
generally difficult to keep abreast of
the demand for paving, and property
owners clamor to have the improve
ment added to the street abutting
their property. They see desirable
tenants deserting their buildings and
occupying those in the improved dis
trict, even at increased rentals, and
they realize that they must keep up
with the procession or lose their
profits. The paved street is the badge
of progress and Dallas cannot afford
to lag behind in the "get-there" pro-
cession.

new life and begin an onward march
which will attract new people and in
crease it's population and Importance.
Tits has been demonstrated SO often
that it is well known to every stu
dent of conditions and their cause and
effect. The liveliest cities and towns
in the country today are those whose
business men believe in advertising,
and the merchants who are doing the
biggest business in those cities and
towns are those who spend the most
money for advertising. The sleepy
old fogies who will argue against
newspaper advertising and declare
that you can't get people to buy
something they don't want" or 1--WE
been here for umptysteen years and
everybody knows me-" or people
don't read advertisements anyway"
holds his share of the trade because
all others in his line are of the same
class, but, some day, a live one will
drift into that community and the
tightwad will awaken to find his busi-
ness gone and bankruptcy staring
him in the face Then he'll wonder
what's the matter. You may operate
your town as a closed corporation for
a time, but, as sure as daylight,
somebody will come along some time
and break up the combination.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-06-11
SCIENCE OF ADVERTISING.

When the advertising man of the
newspaper visits the merchant and
asks him to place an advertisement in
the columns of his paper, he is doing
that man a favor. He is trying to
help him. He knows that, if his ad-
vice be followed, and practiced con-
sistently and continually, the mer-
chants business will Increase, his
profits will grow and better times will
come along and camp on his door sill
Generally, however, the tightwads
and the inexperienced, look upon the
newspaper man as a fakir. While
they realize In a general way that the
newspapers do a certain amount of
good for the country town, and for
humanity as whole. they have no
conception Of the service the news
papers could render them IL only
given the opportunity. The tightwad
says, or thinks. that the newspaper
man is soliciting advertising and urg-
ing IL. only TO increase his own profits.
and In his short-sightedness he sees
no further. That Is the only basis /
upon which he operates his own
business and he cannot understand /
how any man can have other ideas I
than TO set all he can for as little re-
turn as possible. Certainly. the news 4
paper wants the advertising in order
TO build up profits.
But the experienced advertising
man knows that II he can only sue
ceed i'm getting the business man
launched upon a comprehensive and
extensive system Of advertising. that
he will not only increase his own
profits, but build up the merchants
trade. This viii encourage others to
adopt the same tactics and thus the
prosperity OF the entire community
win be enhanced. The sleepy. old
fashioned community viii take on

Objection to steam roller methods
convention, coming from Roosevelt
and his leaders, is in mighty poor
grace at this time. As the manipu-
lator of the roller, no man in the past
has ever equalled Roosevelt's per-
formance. He is a steam roller him
self and any man who opposes him
is effectually squelched at once. There
could possibly be no greater demon
stration of steam roller tactics than
that shown at the national conven-
tion in 1908, when Secretary Hitch
cock herded the Southern delegates
into room at Chicago and told them
few things, including what he
wanted them to do. At the instance
of Roosevelt, who was then the real
head of the Taft presidential boom,
Hitchcock told the delegates that, un-
less they promised to vote for Mr..
Taft, none of them would be seated
in the convention. OF course they
agreed to the ultimatum. They
couldn't very well refuse. This steam
roller cry contains a whole lot of
bluff. According to Mr.. Roosevelt il
is steam roller" when the delegates
oppose him, and the voice of the
people" when they announce their al
legiance to the third termer. He has
bluffed his way to the position of a
likely candidate for the presidency.
and he is now doing his best to bull |
doze the delegates by declaring. or
permitting his friends to do so. that
he will bolt if he is not nominated. |
In other words if he isn't allowed to |
play. like a spoiled child, he will do |
his best to kick over the doll house 1
and build one of his own.

WOULD WE CHANGE?

The following from the Sheridan
News is one of the best editorials that
The Observer has noticed regarding a
much -talked-of question, and is so
apt, and such clear exposition of
present conditions and their adVan-
tages over years ago, that it is reprint
ed in full:
There is much being said at the
present time of the high cost of liv-
ing and the necessity of economy to
make the earnings meet the expendi-
lures; that living expenses have never
before been so high as at present, and
a lot more of tomfoolery that is ap-
parently written to cause dissatisfac-
ton and make one believe he is mere
ly living in an oppressive age. From
an outward observation these state
ments may seem true, but as mat
ter of fact are they true or anywhere
near true? tt is true that during the
past decade purchasable mmodities
have commanded higher prices in
dollars and cents than they did rs
and 80 years ago, but the earning ca
pacity of the purchaser in dollars and
cents has more than equalled this.
Then the per capita circulation of the
country was about $13, whereas now
ii is nearer $40. Thirty-five years
ago the average wage for farm hands
in most of the states was SIS, day
laborers 81 to $3.50; now $2S to $50
is the monthly wage, while the man
working by the day receives $2.25 to
$2.75. A skilled mechanic receiving
"a day forty years ago was a most
fortunate individual, while now 81 to
$40 is not at all uncommon. In the
days of so-called cheaper living luXu-
ries We're indeed luxuries and rev
there were who possessed them; now
conditions are much different and
outside of the congested districts in
large cities, where poverty actually
prevails, nearly every one has the
means of securing some little luxury
for the family, if he is not prevented
by selfish self--indulgence. Forty |
years ago the farmer who could take |
his family to town in a double wagon |
with a team in whole harness, the
whole of the value of perhaps $400, |
was content Later a spring wagon |
was added to the outfit, possibly a
surrey costing $500, but economy was
used in securing them. Now the au-
tomobile at a cost of $500 to $500
takes the place and the rigid economy
is not necessary. We are glad to
know these things are possible; that
more favorable conditions in life are
possible without the added hardships
and deprivations but before we howl
so loudly about high cost of things
hadn't we better pause long enough to
reason out the cause and decide
whether we would remove that cause
even though We had the power"
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-06-11

Combinations among business men
calculated to keep up the price Of
everything sold and to beat down the
prices for everything bought espe-
cially from the producers, are the
worst possible assets OF any commun-
ity, and establish conditions which
merchants in other towns are quick to
take advantage Of and TO profit there
by. such tactics may win for awhile.
but a day OF reckoning is sure 70
