DEPENDED ON THE HUSBANDS
Lady Book Agent Found It the Same
With Both Wife and
Widow.

The Tired Lady Book Agent was
having a very poor day. She had rung
innumerable door bells and talked till
she was hoarse to all kinds of people.
She had in every case been invited in,
which was a good beginning. She had
told her story, gone into details of
half-calf, morocco, and plain cloth
bindings, but no sale had been made.
Young women and old had given the
same excuse for not subscribing then
and there.
Eyes, l like it very, very much, but
| must consult my husband"
Surely" the Book Agent thought,
mo one can say that women disregard
their husbands wishes even In these
Votes-for-Women days"
Finally, late in the afternoon the
last house was reached.
Hal" said the Book Agent, glee-
fully. Here's where I get a sale.
She's a widow, and she won't have to
consult her husband"
So she rang the bell hopefully and
was received by the Widow, who lis
tened with great interest to the story
of the merits of the books.
Just as the Book Agent was begin
ming to think she was making a sale
the Widow sighed and said:
mo. l can't take it today. If only
my dear husband were alive, I
wouldn't hesitate a minute"

Where is he?" the apple trees say it
In all the new JOY OF their bloom.
The breeze come laughing, and sway 1t
Along Will the clinging perfume;
The grass that is greener and cleaner
Than any the meadow has known.
Is asking it. missing the CLEANER
OF clover by summer winds blown.
Where is hep" the brooklet is singing
As gayly 1t chatters along;
Where is he?" the birds that are wing
Have blent in the Tilt of their song:
The path up the hillside is dumbly
Inquiring for his little feet
His feet that were shapely and comely.
That trudged through the grass and the
wheat.
The roses that budde this morning
Are asking the question with all,
They mind how his wee fingers scorning
The thorns. at the branches would haul
Until the could reach to the rarest
And reddest rose. dripping with dew.
And claim It because 1t was fairest
or all OF the roses that grew.
They miss him.. and miss him, and miss
him;
The breeze Of the morning is sad
Because it no longer may kiss him
And shake with his laugh that was
glad;
The orchard is solemnly quiet,
So quiet, indeed, that the bees
In wonder go hurriedly by-tt
And seek in the faraway trees.
"where is hep A hush on the hillside,
A silence all day in the field,
An untrodden path by the Hillside
And then is the answer revealed.
A myrtle Is lovingly creeping.
A cypress bends down to be near
The low little mound where he's sleeping
And each OF them answers us: Here"

man; or to degrade herself by a shameful regularity
Vote only for the legislators who pledge to vote in the
legislature for Borah for Senator.

1t is understood that a democratic campaign on an econ
omy' platform is to be instituted in this county. Goodness
knows we need economy: the Recorder needs it as badly as
any Jackson or Bryan democrat; and we join in the demand.
But the cutting up of this prideful big county is one of the
ways to accomplish it, by taking the government miles and
miles closer to the people who pay the bills. The present of
fccrs are working under geographical conditions which Meth
err they or any others could control. A change to democracy
couldn't help it: indeed, the Recorder is finding some aston
ishing figures that point out past and probable future disaster
through this remedy. AS a cure, it would be about like the
big railroad inanciers who deliberately started the panic of
1907 to head Roosevelt off from a lot of railroad prosecutions
which he was starting. 1t worked--but it almost brought
the nation to bankruptcy because it worked too well and they
couldnt stop it. Some of these local reasons why the coun-
ty should refuse to take this croton-ol economy remedy will
be given during the campaign.

Last spring you said you had to
charge high prices for butter because
the new pasturage made a difference
in its quality" said the lady.
Yes, num-" confessed the market

But this fall you charge the same
high price, and say it is because of
the scarcity of p~asturage.'

Did you know that Borah was the primary nominee of
both the republican and the democratic parties--of the latter
because the democratic leadeIs could not agree on any man
to run against him on his record for Idaho, without weaken
ing their whole ticket? Also, he was the unanimous choice
of the Progressives. He is the choice of all Idaho. BUT
to elect him you MUST vote for the Republican legislative
ticket; in this county, Messrs. Borden, Adams and Evans.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1912-09-19

To vote for Borah for Senator, you MUST vote for the
legislative ticket Borden, Adams and Evans in
Lincoln county--but the Republican ticket in every county.

POT ROAST.


A pot roast is inexpensive, and may
look very smart if it is garnished with
buttered green peas, %parboiled ~raisins,
turnips and parsley. Raisins are par
ticularly appetizing with beef. The
turnips are pared, sliced and shaped
with a French vegetable-cutter. Try
out three thin slices of fat salt pork
in an iron frying pan. Wipe a four
pound piece of beef, cut from the lower
part of round or face of rump), sprin-
kle with salt and pepper, and dredge
thoroughly with fiour. Brown entire
surface in the pork fat. When turn
ing meat avoid piercing with fork or
skewer, which allows the inner juices
to escape. Place on trivet in stewpan.
add one cupful of boiling water, cover,
set ON back of range and let cook
slowly until tender, the time required
being about four hours. Add more
water as necessary. but in small
quantities. There should be but one
cupful when the meat is done. For the
gravy melt three ~tablespoonfuls of but
ter, d three tablespoonful of flour
and stir until well blended; then pour
on gradually. while stirring constantly,
the n cupful of liquor left in a and
one-half cupful of boiling water. Bring
to the boiling point, season with salt
and pepper and strain.

The Care of Goldfish.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly give me some hints
about the care of goldfish? f. X. NJ.
If you have a fresh water aquarium
the following hints will be worth re-
Numbering, and worth repeating If you
already know them. Keep it free from
the poison of paints by covering ii with
Portland cement, or with three coats
of shellac varnish applied separately.
Keep it in the sunlight, shielding it
from the hottest sun by a blue paper
covering. Decomposition of food or
unusual heat will so affect the water
that the fish will keep at the surface,
happens change the water. Twice a
week remove all sediments by means
of a small syphon or lifting tube. In
fitting up an aquarium or fish globe
you should initiate nature as nearly as
possible. In addition to the sand in
the bottom of the globe or aquarium,
place in the centre some ornamental
rock work. also fresh water plants.
Fish, like other living beings, require
oxygen. which freshens ~their blood.
Keep the aquarium in a cool place,
not too near the artificial heat. with
plenty of light and little sui Fish
should be fed two or three times a
week. Never use bread crumbs or
animal food, as these cause the water
10 %stagnate and then kill the fish.

Dinner Etiquette.

Dear Miss Doom:
am a constant reader OF the STAR and
would like you to answer a few questions
for me, and by so doing you will greatly
oblige Miss Helen X. Will you please pub
lisb n few hints on how a young girl is to
conduct herself when taken out to dinner
by a young man? l would Hike to know
mostly how to order, and If 1t is wrong
for a girl to refuse to order. Anything
you can suggest will be greatly appre-
ciated. | would like to know by Satur-
day evening or sooner, II possible. Very
truly yours. MISS HELEN X.
II a table d'hote dinner is served at
the hotel or restaurant at which you
are dining the matter will be simpli-
fed for you. Your escort will then
hand you the menu and you will choose
according to your taste oysters or
CLAIMS, soup, fish, meat, vegetables,
salad, desert, coffee, etc. If it is a la
carte, if there is no special dim
ner menu and you have to make
your selection from everything the
place has to offer, the matter will be
more difficult. 1t will be perfectly
proper for you not to refuse to order
but to express your preference that
your escort do the ordering, If he does
this he will probably consult your
taste in each course. If he, on the
other hand, wishes you to order the
dinner dc not argue about ii, and do
not get nervous 1t isn't such a diff
cult problem after all. If the mar is
in moderate circumstances let the din
ner be simple, but on the other hand
not so simple that he will feel you are
eoonomizing out Of consideration for
his purse. The latter course will make
him feel uncomfortable. If you care
for CLAIMS or oysters start the dinner
with them, then order soup, meat
0amb, chicken, or roast beef, etc.),
two vegetables, salad, dessert and
coffee. 1t is wise for a young girl to
avoid drinking intoXicants in a public
place. Although there may be no harm
in it for her it does not look well and
may give ler companion a wrong i'm
preston of her character.
Above all things do not be self-con-
scious. Treat the dinner as a matter

An Unsuitable curiosity to know
things accounts for my being in the

My being a student came about acci-

in Racine, Wis, to visit some friends
at Columbus. When there I awaited
myself of the chance to hear professors
discuss psychological topics. After a
lecture I told Professor Lowdon of
my ambition, which was to know all
l could of the subject. He asked me
why I did not enter college. I was sur
prised that he thought of It, for I only
had a "log-school" education, followed
by a life of varied experience. L took
him at his word ana the next day I
registered.

siderable dynamic force; storing my
impressions in my subconscious and L

Often I take exceptions to the state
ments that the professors make, when
they conflict with my opinions. This
is especially true In classes where child
psychology is dealt with, They gradu-
ally come to my way of thinking, for
they know that my knowledge is based
upon years of experience with my own
children and grandchildren. as we'll as
with hundreds of others who have
come under my care. There is much
