LEE county should join its neigh
boring counties il securing whole
some publicity for the affairs 81 the
county. Most Of the counties in this
state have the minutes Of the meet
ings Of ths county commissioners
printed in the county paper after
each meeting Of the commissioners
IN this manner the action taken BY
the commissioners on the matters
that come before them are made
known TO the people without the
necessity Of each person who wishes
knowledge Of these meetings having
Is 60 to the minutes kept by the
clerk to find out what is done.
There are many goodreasons why
these minutes should be printed.
There are people throughout the
county who are interested in what
the commissioners are doing. These
people should know what is done by
the commissioners. The minutes
Of each meeting should be published.
1t takes the people into the con
fdence Of the county officers SO that
the people may know exactly what
the commissioners are doing. This
is an important part Of the work Of
the eommi sioners, for they want
the people to know what they are
doing. In no better way and in no
other way can the confidence Of the
people be gained.
1t should be gratifying to the peo-
pie Of Lee county to know that the
system If buying supplies for the
county is concluded better here than
in many other counties. In one
neighb9ring county Of Lee a secre-
tary and treasurer Of the county
commissioners has been appointed,
who is empowered practically to
make all the purchases for the coun-
ty.
The weakness Of such a system is
manifest. No honest man should
want to have this responsibility
placed upon, and no county COM
missioners should gain their consent
to delegate such power to an in
dividual. In Lee county no such
system is used, but county purchases
are made by the commissioners as a
body after bids have been asked for.
This is a safe and businesslike sys-
tenn.
But in the same county referred
to in the foregoing paragraph the
county commissioners have printed
after each meeting the minutes 0
all the matters that came before
that meeting. That is where Lee
county is lacking. No minutes Of
these meetings are printed in Lee
county. But they should be printed.
The county commissioners Of Lee
county owe it to themselves and to
the people who put them into Office
to let them know what is done at
each meeting as a matter Of busi-
ness procedure.
There is no attack on the county
commissioners of Lee county. 1t is,
moreover, a commentator Of their
methods and work with the excep-
ton Of their failure to give to the
public the minutes Of their meet
ings, as is done in most counties, |
especially counties as large as Lee.
Would it not be good thing for
the PEOPLE Of Lee county and the
commissioners, too, for the commits
sioRers to print these minutes? viii
not the next grand jury authorize
such publication Of the minutes as
a matter Of plain business and COM

GOT A WRONG IMPRESSION
Minister Seeking Material for Sermon
Made Mistake In Superficial
Reading.

A reform wave was in progress. A
noted divine, wishing to get local color
for his next Sundays scathing attack
on vice, took trip through the se-
gregated district. He had gone only a
few blocks when he came upon a sign
which read mo Further Use for
Mother"
Horfified beyond expression, he con-
cluded that this was all the material
he needed, and he went home to write
his sermon on the utter degradation
of q society that would throw moth.
ers on the rubbish heap.
At the close Of his denunciation the
next Sunday, when he was receiving
the congratulations of his parishoners,
q friend came up to him and said:
"That was q fine sermon you preached.
only you didn't see one thing when
you read your sign"
II saw everything there was on It."

WORKS ON SCHEDULE.
WOMAN's EXCELLENT ARRANGE
MENT FOR THE "DoG DAYS."
Cooking for the Week, by Her Method,
Practically Confined to One Day
Means Ease and Rest for
the Other Six.

Following is the way one house
mother arranges the meat courses In
her home during the dog days." She
Is blessed, fortunately, with family
that value her highly enough to insist
on easy work In hot weather.
She uses her coal stove only once a
week, on Saturday, when she does all
her baking. On other days she uses
the fireless cooker for the preparation
of vegetables and other foodstuffs
which do not require quick cooking or
much heat. She uses an oil stove for
making coffee and tea, and cooking
such vegetables and other foodstuffs
as require but short time.
On Saturday she bakes enough cake,
bread and pie to last through most Of
the week to come, and she also roasts
big piece of meat. On Sunday the
roast is served cold. with special
acid jelly Of chill sauce. On Monday
the meat is chopped fine and nodded
In aspic Jelly, which is made from
stock prepared by boiling the bones
of the roast. On Tuesday meat enough
for two days is cooked In the fireless
cooker, and what is left over by
Wednesday is turned into loaf Of
pressed beef. On Thursday chops or
outlets are used, and on Friday fish is
served.
Two pies, each Of different variety,
and often pudding are baked on Sat
nrdQv 0na nf ha rfao 10 ttdnI fnr
Saturdays dinner. and the pudding or
an Ice Is served on Sunday. The other
pie is reserved for Monday or Tues
day. On the other days the desserts
are 1ellies, Bavarian cream or chilled
desserts, or something that requires
no hot fire to prepare. Two loaves of
cake are also baked on Saturday, one
that Is Of the kind that improves with
keeping few days. While the oven Ia
being used the top Of the stove Is put
to good purpose.
A whole ham and beef tongue are
boiled on Saturday to use throughout
the week at luncheons. Enough boiled
salad dressing to last through the
week Is prepared and placed in the re-
frigerator. II Saturday happens to be
mercury record-breaker the baking
Is done on Monday or Tuesday. With
plenty Of fruits. vegetables, cheese,
eggs, salad and herbs an excellent
table Is set throughout the summer.
OF course 1t requires some hard
work and much Judgment and exceu.
tive ability to do the bulk of the
weeks cooking on one day. but the
housewife has an excellent rest for the
other six days. There is little or no
heat from the kitchen during the
week, and much oil and coal are saved

CHAPTER w.
Europe.

Europe.
The Zugspitze Is the highest peak
IN Germany; 1t belongs to the Alps
and panorama can be seen from the
perpetually snow-coyered summit that
is worth while At the foot of this
giant is the town of Partenkirchen, a
great place for tourists, but since the
isolation of the American continent
the number Of visitors has dimin-
ished somewhat.
One crisp December morning tall
young man on skis slid down from
one Of the snow-covered side hills Of
the Zugspitze. He wore an Alpine cos
tune and carried on his back the
usual satchel Of the mountain climber.
The sack evidently was heavy, yet he
carried it easily
The early sportsman stopped for a
second or two just about the Tirolean
and Bavarian border. After a short
meditation, he started forward, and
with the agility of master of the
sport slid downward, jumping down
steep slopes, and soon landed in the
valley. He took peculiar field glass
from his knapsack and directed 1t
toward the great peak, moving 1t un.
til he found spot that looked to the
unaided eye like red dot on the
mountain side. 1t was the deserted
castle Of the great Prince Luipold,
once reigning prince Of the kingdom
Of Bavaria.
When he had focused the glass, he
saw round, ruddy checked man rub
bling his hands vigorously.
1T must be somewhat cool there"
smiled the sportsman.
He drew red handkerchief and
made some circular movements In the
air with the fluttering linen. always
watching through his glass. Then,

SYNOPSIS.

For fifty years the continent of North
America had been isolated from the rest
OF the world by the use Of Trays, Won
derful invention of Hannibal Prudent.
The invention had saved the country
from foreign invasion. and the continent
had been united under one government
with Prudent as president. For. half a
century peace and prosperity reigned In
this part of the world. The story opens
with President Prudent critically Ill. His
death Is hastened by the receipt OF a
message from Count Won Werdenstein of
Germany that he has at last succeeded In
penetrating the rays. Dying. he warns
his daughter Astra that this means for
eign invasion. He tells her to hurry to
the Island of Cirynith, but dies before he
can tell the location of the place. Astra
