The box supper here last Friday
evening was a grand 3dccess. Quite
a corwd was present, being largely
composed Of friends from towns and
the adjoining sections, whose liberal

was formed on a table on the ros-

one eXception) measured up fully to

in excellent spirits. and wore a
smile that was a positive encourage

this soon came off and gvae place
to serious looks as he pondered long
and patiently over propositions of

to each side an equal measure of
justice.

Judge Young explained that it
was not his intention to impose
hardships upon any one, but that
a multiplicity OF reasons and cir

Dear Editor and Sisters: have read the letters of the Social Corner so long and find them so interesting and helpful that am at last tempted to write. Although I am stranger, l hope to be welcoHRe and become one of the sisters; and if I go to the fair may I wear a yellow ribbon?
 I am the mother of little boy 27 months old, and he keeps things a. hustling. He talks over the telephone with his uncle quite often, asking questions, and does better than lots of children a great deal older.
 What has become of Ruth. I hope she has not forgotten the Corner.
 Fannie: Why don't you write and send in more recipes Doesn't your last name begin with P?
 Diana wishes recipe for drying corn I always dried it, but prefer the canned corn.
 Dried Corn-First husk and put in boiling water just long enough to set the milk, and then cut off and scrape the cobs; spread thinly in pans and put around the stove, and in a day or two put all together; when dry put in a cloth bag and put back of the stove for a week or until thoroughly dry.
 An EconomaI Cake-One cup of sa1- gar, one cup of brown sugar, two eggs, one teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and a little nutmeg, a pinch of salt one-h half cup cold coffee, one cup sour cream, three cups of pastry flour, one teaspoon baking powder, one tea spoon soda dissolved in the sour cream, one-half pound rais1ns.
 Hope that some of the sisters will try these and report later.
 Best regards to all.
