Town Board May
Buy Lodge Property

The Town Board met in regu-
lar session Monday evening with
all present but f. C. Murchison
and transacted the regular
grist of business, which consist
ed principally of paying the
monthly bills and the discussion
of n few matters that require
the attention of the Board.
The most important transac-
tion however, was the PROPOSE
ton made the Odd Fellows to
purchase the building and ground
now occupied by the Board as a
monthly meeting place. C. M.
Lawrence, was present as rep
resentative Of the Odd Fellows
and presented a request for the
Board to make the Odd Fellows
an offer.
MIR, Buck made motion that
the Town Board buy the proper
ty which includes the buildings
and 5OXl25 feet of ground at
81 500, $500 cash, $500 at one
year and $500 in two years, de-
ferred payments to draw inter-
est at the rate of 6per cent. Mr..
| Lawrence said he would present
the proposition to the orgauiza-
tjon Monday highland If ii is ac-
cepted, the deal will probably be
closed in special meeting that
night, as the Board is anxious to
stop paying rent The property
is probably worth all that is Of
fered and the location is as good
us could be found for perman-
ent city building which we all
hope to see some day
The Board also decided to fur
nish a skating rink for the ch:ld-
rem this winter on the vacant
lots of A. II. Barth, who kindly
offered the free use Of th-m %
the city. The lots are located at
Ralston and WadsWorth. They
will be leveled Off and flooded.
1t was thought to be a good idea
in lieg of allowing the children
TO go to some reservoir where
their is danger Of being drown
ed.
While the Town Board was in
session Night Marshal August
Bsehner brought in four boys
whom he caught prowling the
streets after eight o'clock. Sew
eraI bridges across the irrigating
ditches, and sidewalks had been
torn up between G:3O and that
hour and the boys had been seen
in the vicinity of these depreda-
tions and were naturally under
suspicion. Attorney Campbell
gave the boys q heart to heart
talk and although they denied
any know edge Of the misdemean-
ors they were made 10 promise
| they would get in at curfcw hour
hereafter and let 20.

done in the past, when l have things to
give away. I have some doll clothes and
patterns for some little girl who cannot
afford to buy material and who likes to
have her dolly look nice. Perhaps some
shut-in who would care to earn something
by making doll clothes might like them.

most people nowadays use rugs, but even

HONORED IN LIVINGSTON

Miss Selene Rountre, who is a member
of house party given in Livingston by
Miss Elizabeth Brockway, has been one
of tse honorees at a number of lovely
parties. A Livingston exchange makes
note of an especially pleasant courtesy ex-
tended by Miss Elizabeth Brockway,
stating that Mkss Elizabeth Broekway

home on Chapman street. The occasion
was in compliment to her house party

Birmingham and Miss Marguerite Calla-
way of McConnel's.
The young people when they arrived

bunco. At this game Miss Julia Law
renee was successful, winning a box of
stationary as a prize.
After the games partners were chosen,
and dancing was enjoyed for the remain

Anybody can save things" she con-

that every woman who would be called a
thrifty housewife must learn"
For instance" she cited IF there is
a bit of fish left from dinner it doesn't
require any brain matter to store the
fragments in the ice box, but then what
happens? The next morning the butter
tastes like fish, the milk that was intend
ed to make the waffles up with reeks
of fish, the bowf>of custard that had been
made for luncheon the next day Is so
saturated with the fishy odor that 1t can't
be used, while the mashed potatoes that
were left, which could have been used
for croquettes or spuds at lunch are
spoiled by the fish completely. The garb-
age can is the only thing that profits by
this would-be economy, all on account of
a little dab of fish being stuck away in
the refrigerator. If the housewife wants

THE ENDING OF THE
SUMMER SEASON
Entertainments in Other
Cities for Local Women
THE DAYS EVENTS
The Qui Vive Club Issues Its Calen-
dar-Miss Norma Scholar to
Sing in This City-Affairs
for Club Members
by MYRTLE MILES

Mrs Ioui II. Dent of this city, who mas
been visiting in Jackson, Miss. for sew
eral weeks, was one of the honorees at
a reception given this week by Mrs. T. j.
Hargrave, notice of which appears in this
Clipping from a jackson paper:
"A pretty event was that on Wednes-
dav afternoon, when Mrs. r. j Har-
grave. at her attractive home in Crystal
Springs, entertained at a reception hon
oring her sisters, Mrs. j. l. Hoye of Me-
ridian and Miss Anna Crisler of jackson,
and her friend, Mrs. L. II. Dent of Bir-
mingham. The lovely rooms and spacious
halls and galleries were most inviting in
their adornment of ferns and palms, love-
Iy white cematis bloom being used in
most effective decorative effect.
Mrs Hargrave had standing with her
the honorees, Mrs. l.. II. Dent, Mrs. M.
j. i. Hoye and Miss Anna crisler, the
others of the party being Miss Bessie
Dunning, Mrs. C. E. Saunders, Mrs. r.
Howell, Mrs. Y. Bennett. Mrs. Dent was
.becomingly gowned in an exquisite white
crepe meteor with trimmings of rich
shadow lace. her wealth of hair adorned
with handsome ornament. The others
of the receiving party were handsomely
gowned, thus making a striking picture
against the background of flowers and
ferns.
From the dining room Mrs. James
Owens and Mrs. c. f. England ushered
the guests from series of beautiful
scenes as the notes of lovely rendtions on
the piano by Miss Lillian Follles seemed
TO whisper to them of the passing of one
OF the most beautiful social affairs ever
given in that little city.
Mrs. Dent was Miss Genevieve Lock
wood, and one of the loveliest of the many
happy brides who left to make their
homes in other cities, and Mrs. Moye was
Miss Ella Crisler, this being her first
visit since she left Crystal Springs as a
bride. thus this occasion was a happy one
to both honorees and guests"

Canned Green Sweet Peppers

Cut the blossom ends from fine sweet
pepper sand carefully extract the seeds,
using small silver knife or stick, to
avoid touching the seeds with your fingers.
Precautions must be taken to draw out
the seeds without letting them come in
contact with the sides of the peppers. The
pungency of the peppers lies. in great
part, in the seeds. Throw them away,
slice the peppers into rounds half an inch
thick and lay them in scalding water for
10 minutes. Drain and put them, without
breaking the slices, into a pot of boiling
water slightly salted. Cover the pot ana
simmer for 10 minutes after the boil be-
gins. Have jars. covers, and rubbers
ready, lift the sliced peppers gently ana
pack into the jars. Fill with the boiling
water from the kettle and fit on the
covers. I have heard of canning peppers
whole, but 1 never have seen it done.
