SERVING CORN ON THE COB
Typical American Dish Requires Some
Care in Its Proper Preparation
for the Table.

There is no vegetable of which so
much can be made as the typically
American sweet green corn. Some
persons insist that no dish is more de-
licious than corn on the cob but there
is certain art which must be mas
tered If even this simple dish is to be
well prepared. One way to boil it is
to select thick, short ears and remove
all of the husk excepting the inner
layer. Strip that down and take of
all the silk and cut out the grains that
are dried or discolored Tie the husk
over the ear again and boil 1t 20 min
utes in deep covered pot or 15 min
utes If the ears are small. Then re-
move the string which holds the husk
in place and serve either in the husk3
or without the husks on a folded nap
kin.
Another way to prepare corn on tho
cob is to remove the outer leaves and
silk from six young ears and put them
in a saucepan with just enough water
to cover them. Add half cupful of
milk, half an ounce of butter and a
pinch of salt. Cook for 20 minutes,
covered tightly, and then serve. Re-
member that the sweetest ears are the
freshest.

large part of the pantry crockery.
Most of the improvised receptacles
lack covers, yet it is important to pro-
tect the contents. Paper covers will
DO the work. They are light, clean
and convenient, and once the knack
s acquired are easy to make. Filter
paper. such as chemists use. is the
best for the purpose. It's inexpensive
and SO soft and tough that it can be
'olded several times without breaking.
Cut out square piece twice the

ners; then, with your left hand. hold
The octagonal piece in place upon the

the paper inward and upward and
press them against the outside OF the
tumbler or dish.
If you have made the cap correctly.
you can easily remove 1t from any
smooth-edged receptacle, such as a
tumbler. and use 1t again and again.

The SUGAR Beet CROP
l o N M oNT'S HARVEST WILL
ECLIPSE PREVIOUS RECORDS.
Yield is Estimated at 100000 Tons
Digging Begins and Factory
Opens Sept. IS.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Longmont, Colo.-The digging of
beets in this section has commenced
and 1t is expected that the factory will
begin operations Monday. The crop
Is the largest ever raised in the Long
mont section. Seventeen thousand
acres are to be harvested, which will
yield upwards of 100000 tons.
Reports from all-sections are to the
effect that the beet crop was never
better. The tonnage will be heavy
and the sugar content high. 1t is esti-
mated that the money value will
amount to S1,500,00U.
Besides hundreds who will be EN-.
ployed at the factory, it will take an
army of workers to get the big crop
out of the ground, and it is feared that
trouble will be experienced in secur-
Ing sufficient help.
AS a result of the raising of beets
on such large scale, over $4,000 cat
tie will be fed on the farms around
Longmont, beet pulp and tops being
used as feed, which will furnish en-
ployment for another large number of
men throughout the winter.

berries and simmer gently until the
berries break; then turn into a jelly

For Kitchen Shelves.

Instead of continually buying lace
shelf paper, you will find 1t much
cheaper in the end to buy coarse tor
chon lace the desired width, sew on u
piece of tape. and tack to the shelf
with small tacks. Whenever dirty.
take off, wash and iron. This will last
for years. and your pantry will always
be fresh and attractive.
Shelves for precious china and glass
ware should have pads of felt to pre-
vent chipping. When fragile plates
must be piled one on another, round
piece of blotting paper placed between
will save breakage.

Fort Collins.-On the third day of

"Billie" Baker was dangerously in
jured while attempting to bulldog" a
steer. AS he was racing down the

swerved just as he was about to throw
himself on the steers horns and in
stead of catching the horns with his
hands, he was thrown bodily on them
and one of the sharp points ripped a

Testino Brooms.

Very few housewives know how to
tell a good broom from a bad one.
When a new broom wears out quick
ly they blame the grocer and often
refuse to buy another broom at the
same store.
If, when they were buying one, they
would test it. they would have no one
but themselves to blame for a poor
broom.
1t should be tested by pressing 1t to
the floor. If the straws spread out
and bend 1t is a poor broom. If they
remain solid 1t is a good one.
