German Coffee Cake


By Mrs. Janet Mckenzie Hill, Editor Of
the Boston Cooking School Magazine.
There is no warm bread quite as appro-
PIRATE for Sunday morning breakfast as
German Coffee Cake, yet it is seldom made
by housewives who do not bake their own
bread. If K c double raise Baking Powder
is used It will be just as good as if raised
with yeast and it will have the further adj
vantage of being fresh and warm. Save
this recipe and try it next Sunday.

test. The school boys of the

TRAINING IN
FARM MATTERS

Fulton, Mo-, Dec. 25.-J. Kelly
Wright of Columbia, former Su-
perintendent of Schools in Boone
county now a lecturer for the
State Bureau of Agriculture, be-
fore the Galloway County Farm
ers Institute yesterday referred
to the present system OF rural
schools as a relic of the Mediaeval
period in so far as to prepare the
boys and girls for the practical
work.
"What we want" said Mr..
Wright, is more about the farm
how to raise corn, wheat and
oats; how to fatten hogs and cat
tie; how to preserve the fertility
of the soil and the many kindred
arts, that go to make a successful
farmer.
"We do not give enough voca-
tional training in the rural
schools. Only about Is per cent
of the pupils go any further than
the district schools, yet all of
them are trained in preparation
for entering higher education in
studies instead of being trained
in matters of the farm"

for good in all the world. But,
really, don't you think five or six
churches are too many for most

to learn something from the com
mercial world-do some combing,
too, unite with each other, get a
little more together. That opti-
mistic prophet was evidently
looking forward to such a day
when he said, "They shall not
kill nor hurt anymore in all my
