MRS. LEES LETTER.

MRS. LEES LETTER.
@ HE old proverb, "A man that
hath friends, must show him.
self friendly" is an easy
task for the one whose life
runs smoothly.
Take the person who feels down
and out" and has many bitter dis
appointments, such as friends
thought to be true to him and his
cause, who turn from him when
most needed.
The one who is willing to help
others but finds when he needs help
those who have accepted his help
have reasons real and imaginary for
not returning the favor.
The one who has such as this, can
not be as friendly as the person
who does not undergo sucn trials.
The person who goes through life
helping friends through that
friendly feeling" is a welcome
member of any household.
Most of us have more or less of
the cares of the every day occurran-
ces that wear one so, but if we out
weather the ordeal, generally the
afterglow makes life seem brighter
than ever.
If we could remember that each
life has it's burden and try to bright
en- others, our own lot would not
seem SO gloomy; but when we have
our troubles, generally we feel that
no one is called upon to endure
quite SO much as we-and so if we'd
look about us and remember our
true friends were made by being
friendly, we'd gain more for them
and ourselves. A. WI.

THE HUMBLE IRISH POTATO IN
NEW AND TOOTHSONIE
GUISE.


Few people are acquainted with
the possibilities of Irish potatoes
save as baked, boiled, mashed, fried
or la Lyonaise.
Here are a delightful number of
possibilities which will be enjoyed
by the entire family.
Potato croquettes are a light meal
in themselves. To prepare beat to-
gether three cups of the potatoes, a
little butter, a gill of cream, an egg,
salt and pepper to taste, and a speck
of grated nutmeg. Shape into GRO
quettes, roll in egg and bread
crumbs. then fry.
Escallop of potatoes and eggs is
another light but nourishing dish.
Four large potatoes and three hard
boiled eggs should be cut into thin
slices and placed in baking dish.
A sprinkling of pepper and salt is
added, and the whole covered with
a thin white sauce. Lastly, comes
layer of bread crumbs, which will
be brown when the dish is ready to
leave the oven
The very tiny potatoes are deli
cious prepared in this way. Boil in
their skins and allow them to become
quite cold. Then peel and toss
about in a pan, using a couple of
tablespoons of butter. Add pepper
and salt, and, when the potatoes are
a delicate brown, place on dish
and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Cold potatoes cooked with cheese
is a dish which should be better
known than it is
Make a white sauce with one
tablespoon of butter and the same
quantity of -four Use one cup of
milk with pepper and salt to taste.
Cut cold potatoes into dice and
shake them about in the sauce. But
ter a baking dish and turn the pota-
toes into it, covering with generous
Slayer of grated cheese and few
tiny Jumps of butter. Bake in the
oven until light brown.
When large potatoes that have
been baked in their skins are left
over they should not be thrown
away, because they can be used
again, as potatoes on the half shell.
The potatoes are cut in two and
the inside scooped out to be mixed
with little butter, cream, or an egg
Gall three if on HANDY and beaten
until light and lufy. Seasoning is
added and the whole put back into
the shells to be Drowned in the
oven.
Most people like cold mashed po
tatoes prepared in this way. ChoI
a small onion and few sprigs o.
parsley. Mix with two cups of the
potatoes a spoonful of cream and {
couple of teaspoons Of butter. Shape
into mounds and sprinkle will
grated cheese and bread crumbs. ADD
small Jumps of butter and brown il

HELPFUL HINTS.

To sweeten the air of sick room
for patient who is tireu of the
usual perfumes, burn a few drops of
oil of sandalwood on a shovel. Eau
de Cologne dropper on hot shovel
also gives a most agreeable odor.
If perfumes are not at hand an ad-
mirable substitute may be found in
camphor, a piece of which may be
burned by the application of hot
poker. The strong smell of the
camphor quickly disappears, taking
with it all the close and disagreed
BILE odors of the sick room.

TOWN OWNS PICTURE SHOW.
Haven Not to Be Sighted Though
She Is Small

Kansas has one of the few munich
pal moving picture shows in the coun-
try. 1t is at Haven, a little town in
Reno county. If there is another
municipality owned moving picture
show house in the country the direc-
tors of the different film companies
have no knowledge of it. An officer
of one of the largest American film
companies who was in Topeka, said
that Kansas had the only house of
the kind in the country.
Haven was so small that there were
no moving picture shows and only oc-
casionally would one be given there
by travelling company. Everyone in
the little town enjoyed the pictures.
No one was willing to risk his money
in building a moving picture house,
so all the business men of the town
''chipped" in enough to buy the ma
chine and the show was started a
month ago. 1t is a great success.
The pictures are shown in the
town hall every night. An admission
fee is charged to pay the operator and
the license on the films, which are
changed twice each week. When
the receipts are larger than the ex-
penses free shows are given until the
fund is exhausted or additional and
special films are purchased and the
show is increased and kept going with
more pictures until the fund is used
up.
The town is now building an air
dome theater. This summer the pic
ture shows will be given in the open
air and next winter they will be re-
turned to the town hall.

money with which to return to her
home at lola.

Old Suits Are Settled.

Great Bend, Kan, May 23.-All but
one of the numerous cases of the Gem
fury Investment Co. against the Eve
leigh, Straub. McLain and J. v.
Brinkman company bank over land
interests in the Cheyenne bottoms
have been settled after years of liti-
cation. The claims of the Century
Co. have been a cloud to the title of
these defendants in this large section
of Barton county since the days of
irrigation in this section. The consid-
Grafton accepted by the investment
company for releasing its claims was
10 cents per acre. In other words the
deeds cost only about s14 less per
quarter section than the land itself
and the land cost only a small frac-
ton of the attorneys fees. The Cen
fury company has refused to accept
a consideration for the release of it's
claims to the land under the Lake
Koen Navigation, Irrigation and Res
ervoir Co.'s ditch as it expects to use
the ditch in the near future and re-
vive irrigation in this region.
