SUGAR COOKIES
BY Caroline Coe.

Cream two cups of sugar and one
cup of butter or butter substitute, add
three eggs one at time and beat
thoroughly before adding another.
Add one cup of sour milk, into which
you have stirred one teaspoon of
soda, pinch of salt and dash of
cinnamon and half teaspoon of
vanilla. Stir in two cups of -four.
Now take a cupful of the dough
out of the molding board and add as
little flour as possible to keep from
sticking to hands and board Cut into
shape, place in creased pan and sprin-
kle granulated sugar on top.
These cookies may be dropped
from a teaspoon instead of being

to give real help if injustice has been

done.
The governor appears, under the
Iowa laws, to be entirely helpless in
such case. All pardon matters COM
ing before him must FIRST pass thru the
parole beard. That is the plain intent
Of the laws. Only by a stretch of the
laws could he pass over all regulations
and take matters in his own hands,
The parole board has rule, which it
has made for its own regulation, that
until one has been in prison a certain
time, it will not even consider an APP
plication for parole. A court can pa
role before commitment but does not
seem to be able to do SO afterwards, or
even to recall a commitment should the
court find it had erred. The courts
might act under certlorari or habeas
corpus, but that is expensive. Again.
by reason cf law Of the last general
assembly, it would be impossible to
bring habeas corpus proceeding di-
rectly before the supreme court, or be-
fore any court save that nearest to the
place where the applicant is confined.
The Jones case from Corning prom
ises to become of some prominence. On
the face it looks very much like a case
of hustling poor piano player off to
prsion to prevent his marriage to the
daughter Of wealthy and influential
citizen, ather than plain case of
crime. At the state house there is
hope some way may be found for hav-
ing all the facts brought out as to both
sides. unintluenced by surroundings or
the wishes of interested persons.
But just how 1t Is to be done, in view
of the fact that the victim is a poverty
stricken musician, has not been clearly
shown.
