or stalks of celery chopped with the cab
bage is a great Improvement.
Do the members all know that celery
leaves dried in the season when celery is
plentiful and cheap may be pulverized and
used to flavor salads and soups when the
fresh celery is scarce and expensive?

A member to whom we owe sundry good
things, and from whom we are always
happy to hear One need not wait for the
height of the celery season to begin drying
the refuse leaves. Every time we prepare
the blanched stalks for the table we clip
of the coarser leaves. These may be dried
for a couple of days in the kitchen window
and then more thoroughly by laying them
IN the open oven of the range.

Recipe for Italian Spoghetti.


ALLOW me to submit a fine recipe of my
own composition. I don't know what to
call it unless we dub 1t
ITALIAN SPAGHETTI-Put about a
quarter of a pound of butter into a deep
pot; as it heats lay in two pounds of lean
beef or veal cut in slices from the rump.
Let the meat brown on both sides, then add
a quart can of tomatoes six onions sliced
thin, a stalk of celery. and a quarter OF a
green pepper from which the seeds have
been taken; a piece of garlic the size of
navy bean. half a teaspoonful of CHINA
mon, salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
Let all simmer together from two and a
half to three hours
Meanwhile cook soft a package of spa
ghetti in sailed water. When it Is tender,
but not broken. drain and keep hot. Just
before serving take three soup ladies of
liquor from the pot and pour over the
spaghetti Heat a can OF French mush-
rooms and pour over the meat upon the
platter after dishing the contents OF the
pot
50 This Is enough for six persons.
Mrs. G. F. d. W.
You do not say definitely how the spa
ghetu is to be served Will you let US
know If 1t goes to the table in a separate
dish from the meat, tomato. and mush-
rooms. or If it too is poured over the meat?
Your " composition " has the true Italian
flavor. and the quantity should serve more
than six persons-unless four of the half
dozen are schoolboys and proverbially hol-
low down to the heels.

An Ideal Sunday Newspaper.

Recent issues of the THE SUN
DAY RECORD HERALD re-
mind one that Chicago may fairly
lay claim to producing the best
newspapers in the world, not ex-
cepting those of New York. THE
SUNDAY RECORD-HERALD,
in foreign news alone, has its own
special cable service in addition to
those of the New York Herald,
World, Journal of Commerce and
Associated Press. This lisa fair exam
pie Of the completeness of the paper
in every department.
Aside from the regular news feat
ures, there is something in the
SUNDAY RECORD-HERALD
for every member of the family.
The sporting pages, both paily
and Sunday, give the latest autfeh-
tic news in every line of sport.
The womans section is filled with
illustrated articles on the newest
wrinkles in fashion and domestic
science, with Marion Harland as a
regular contributor and Dame Curt
sey's Novelties in entertainment"
as valued feature. The dramat-
ic and musical pages, written by
James O'Donnel Bennett and Felix
Borowski, are admittedly without
their equal in the West. The ar
ray of splendid special articles by
skilled writer's. finely illustrated,
also is typical of the high literary
quality of THE RECORD HER
AID. In the way of humor there
is the comic colored supplement
for children, besides S. E. Kiser's
delightful Alternating Currents
for everybody.
But the thing that lifts THE
SUNDAY RECORD-HERALD
most emphatically above al its
rivals is its magazine sectional
real magazine. full of stories and
articles by the most famous writ
ers of our day, illustrated by Gel
ebrated artists. This year its
$1o, 900 prize contest is filling its
pages from week to week with
some of the best short stories in
our language. No wonder the
RECORD-HERALDi is regarded
as the ideal Sunday newspaper.

THE SEED GRAIN SIT
UATION.

To the Homesteaders living
tributary to Timber Lake:
YOU probably all know by this
time that the railroad company
suddenly turned down all the
counties on the free seed rate prop
osition. The board of county
commissioners met on the 27th to
take some action in the matter.
A large and representative body
of homesteaders were present be-
fore the board. The question
then came up as to which would be
the best wav to handle the seed in
order to save everyone as much
as possible and at the same time
get the best seed obtainable. A
thorough discussion was entered
into by all present and l took the
stand that the commissioners as
sumo the responsibility and act as
a committee for the people and
handle it in the same manner as
the feed and coal was handled dur
ing the fall and winter. In TAX
ing a vote of the tax payers on
the matter it was unanimously de-
cided. with the exception of one
man from Isabel, that the commits
sioners buy and distribute seed.
This was the sentiment of the peo-
pie but in putting the motion to
the board it was voted down and
lost.
Realizing the short time left be-
fore seeding and that a majority
of the farmers have been depend
ing on the commissioners to get
this seed, | feel it my duty both as
a business man and commissioner
tostake the situation into my hands
and get you the seed in exactly
the same manner as the county,
the only difference being that it
will not cost the county anything.
| know that | can serve you all
the way from IS to 50 cents per
bushel on the different kinds of
of seed and the more seed you can
get for your money the bigger
acreage you will have. The prices
received on the different kinds
will only stand..open for few days
and you who have not got your
orders in and wish to take advan-
tage of these prices get them in
before next Wednesday.

gained courage to tell Sarah Ann
that she was taking up too much Of
his time, and that she was subiecting
them both to gossip.
Sarah Ann promptly tainted away.
It was one of her old style faints,
but the minister had not the knowl-
edge of Hiram and was scared half
to death. He didn't beseech her to
live for his sake, however. She was
perfectly conscious and would have
heard his words. In due time she
was revived and managed to crawl
home, and she had to admit that she
had failed. She sat down and wrote
poem about maiden who drowned
herself when she found that her low
ar scorned her love, and it was left
On the kitchen table as guide to
brother Hiram. When he came in
to dinner at noon there was no din
ncr. There was no Sarah Ann.
There was nothing but the broken
hearted poem. He read it and then
went out to make inquiries. He
learned that Sarah had been seen
walking in the direction Of the river.
He followed after, while others took
other directions.
Sarah was down there on the
banks of the romantic river, hiding
among the willows. Some were
weeping willows, and some on the
hilarious order, but they offered her
shelter. Hiram's sharp eyes soon
found her out, however. She started
on one of her old faints as he
drew near and she saw that his jaw
was set, but he had a duty to per-
form and he performed it. He
picked her up and flung her into
the river. Then he hauled her ashore
and repeated the performance. She
gasped and gurglcd and shrieked,
but in she went again. When she
had been flung in and hauled out
about a dozen times she really lost
consciousness. 1t was perhaps better
that she did. Hiram finally desisted
from the water cure to shoulder his
unconscious and dripping burden
and bear it through the streets to his
home and deposit it on the kitchen
floor with an "Um!" After half an
hour it revived and crept upstairs to
bed. After two days it crept down.
stairs to get the regular meals as
before, and the only greeting Hiram
had was:
eff you hain't had enough of it
we'll go down to the river again."
"Have some more 'tater, Hiram ?"
was the humble and contritc query
in reply; and then the brother went
ont ard chalked down on the barn
door the sure cure for gossiping old
maids: "Duck 'em."
