TOO BUSY TO BAKE FOR TAF1
Iowa's Champion Bread Baker Was
Afraid Her Product Would Make
President Fat.

I'm just so busy seeing the sights
of Washington that | won't be able to
bake any bread for President Taft
said little Miss Lois Edmunds, the
champion bread baker of Iowa Lois
is only in her twelfth year, yet she
has been doing baking for her par.
ents and friends in Clarinda, Page
county, for three years Because OF
her skill she won prize trip tc
Washington.
Lois was asked to explain hel
method of baking.
Il just take a lot of -four, some milk
salt, sugar and yeast and mix them to
gether thoroughly. / don't measure
anything l put in my bread. so l cans
give you the proportions of each.
can tell with my eye when / have
enough of each ingredient. Then
put the dough formed into hot oven
and bake probably half an hour.
Just let the bread remain in the oven
until it's done. The mixing and bak
ing I do on the same day. / don't lei
my bread rise over night as some
cooks do. l get much better results
the other way.
81 should like to bake some bread
for Mr.. Taft, but know he has better
cooks than I am. The bread he eats
must be the finest in the world, for
think he's the finest man in the world
and ought to have the very best
bread. I Ed afraid my bread would
make him too fat, for It's made my
daddy awful fat

SHADOW FIFTY MILES LONG

The peak of Teneriffe projects a
huge shadow stretching upwards of
fifty miles across the deep, and partly
eclipsing the adjoining islands. Ex-
aggerated shadows of immense size
are commonly seen in many other
places. On the Harz mountains the
so-called Spectre of the Broken
throws gigantic shadows of mountain
climbers into the sky, repeating every
movement made by them. The same
occurs on the summit of Pambamarca,
in Peru.

Man the Prime Necessity.

The thing needed is not plans, but
men. A well-thought-out plan without
a man to execute it is 8 waste OF
money: and as rule, the more COM
paratively the details have been
thought out by man who is not go
ing to execute them himself, the larger
will be the amount of money wasted
Get man with a plan, and the more
money he has the greater Is his
chance of doing large work; but q
plan without man is as bad as Q

the more he wastes,-Arthur 7. Had

"DRUMMER BOY" TO RETIRE

A bill was introduced recently in the
lower house of Congress by Mr.. Ash
worth of Ohio to retire with the rank
of major general three of the best
known officers in the United States
army In the memorandum attached
to the bill it Is stated that these three
men, with single exception, form the
last remnant of that army of million
and a half men who fought for the
preservation of the Union.
The exception referred to is Maj.
Daniel w. Arnold of the quartermas-
ter's department, who also retires by
age limit next summer. However, he
does not figure in the bin because of
the fact that it was not until SO years
after Appomattox that he came into
the army as an officer from civil life.
The three whose names are men
toned in Congressman Ashworth's bill
and the combined total of whose serv-
ices in the army add up to more than
$50 years are Brig. Gen. Daniel H.
Brush, commanding the department Of

MAYOR QUALITIES AS A COOK

Descendants Of Mayor Carter. Har-
rison will be able to boast reminiscent
ly of the biscuits father used to-
make and no one shall say them nay
for his honor the mayor is cuiin-
airy expert. He does not have to prove
it; he admits it himself.
Mayor Harrison's skill with the skill
let runs through a wide repertory
from boiled eggs to reflector oven bis
cuits-in fact, there is no end to
this mans cleverness until he essays
jelly, then he meets the fate of all
overly ambitious persons, disaster.
Mrs. Harrison is responsible for the
statement that the moyoral jelly is not
all that could be desired.
The question as to Mayor Harrison's
qualifications as cook arose the 9TH

routine in which Mayor Gaynor's I'M

cooking in New York's public schools

SUPPLY. OF WATER

In the whole world there are only
about 1900. 100000 people. An inch of
rain on our watershed normally would
give two gallons of water for every
man. woman and child on the surface
OF the earth. Put it another way: If
every man, woman and child on the
face of the earth should walk up to
the lakes, reservoir. ETC.. which hold
New York citys water supply and
each pour in two gallons OF water II

strongest financial the backing of the
interests of the national capital, an
nounce they are ready to begin work,
and only few months separates the
old Arlington from it's fate. Actual
work of demolition will begin in June.
Such delay as has been experienced
in getting the new project under way
has been due more to the cherished
recollections Of the old structure, with
its political, romantic and social his
tory, than to any thought Of what con-
veniences the new hotel will offer.
Patrons of the new hotel before
they promise their support want to be
sure that the rare massive old furni-
ture, the unique mantlepieces and stat
uary which money cannot buy will not
be sold or given away.
Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan on one of
his visits here said he would only corr
tinue to make the Arlington his head
quarters when in Washington provid-
ed he could have his suite OF rooms
exactly duplicated in the new build
ing-same furniture, same paintings,
same everything-otherwi he would
prefer to go somewhere else The ap-
peal that the name Arlington" be con-
served has been unanimous. Indeed,
the new hotel must be sort of COM
promise between the historic Airing
ton that has stood so long and a mod
ern structure or come in for the scorn
OF those who revere historic recollec-
ton.
The Arlington hotel and It's site
have been identified with the history
Of the country since President Wash
ington defined the boundaries Of La
fayette Park, on which it stands, when
he selected the site for the executive
mansion in 1890.
At the time of the American Revo-
luton the site of the hotel was a part
of David Burns farm. 1t was destined
early to be the place of residence of
the most famous leaders in war and
diplomacy who built their homes upon
the border of the park which Wash
ington had named for Lafayette.
Where the main body of the Airing
ton hotel now stands there were three
stately residences. One was occupied
by William L. Marcy, secretary of
war under PresidSFt Polk and secre-
tary of state under President Pierce.
When he retired he was succeeded in
this and the adjoining house by the
secretary of state under Buchanan,
Lewis Cass, who, like Marcy, had pre-
viously held the war portfolio In the
third mansion, recently superseded by
the extension Of the Arlington hotel
up Vermont avenue, dwelt Reverdy
Johnson, minister to England.
1t was here that Presidents Buchan-
an and Harrison were entertained
prior to their Inauguration. The H
street front of the hotel consists of a
union of the former residences of
Charles Sumner and Senator Pomeroy,
the windows looking directly upon the
White House President Cleveland
went from these rooms to his inaugu-
ration Close by was the large double
mansion which was the home of the
British legation. Here lived Sir Bull.

trust that school officers will let
me know when they have secured
their teachers, for l have numerous
injuries from teachers concerning
vacancies: some from our local
teachers, some from outside teachers.
If you have secured your teachers, l
need not refer any teacher to you. If
YOU are in need of teacher and will
notify me of the fact, the kind of
teacher preferred the salary you ex-
pect to pay, etc. may be able to
assist you in securing the right kind
of teacher.
Teachers and school officers should
bear in mind that a valid contract
can not be entered into by the teacher
until the teachers certificate has been
registered for the year, beginning
Junle Z. And teachers should re-
member that the reading circle work
must be done before the superinten-
dent can register your certificate. If
you have not completed the reading
circle work, you should use part Of
your vacation for that purpose.
School boards having employed
teachers from other States, should re-
quest such teachers to find out at once
from the State Superintendent or the
county superintendent what is neoes-
sary to be done in order to put their
certificates in proper form to sustain a
valid contract. If they wait until
they are ready to open school there
may be delay and additional expense.
