Almost any cook, II she has unlim-

Fathers Plan.

It was in a suburban town and the
good minister had taken his class of
boys on little picnic out in the
woods
Each was supplied with basket OF
fruit and sandwiches. and as they sat
down in a picturesque spot to appease
their sharpened appetites, the minis
ter asked:
Now, boys, what is the best and
most appropriate time to thank the
Lord?"
The boys looked at each other In
silent questioning.
What does your father do when he
sits down to his meals?"
One of the lads. little red-haired
chap, promptly answered:
"Cuss the cook"

Cuckoo Reformation.

A remarkable case of reformation
on the part of two old cuckoos is re
ported by Col. A. M. Blake from bis
estate at Welwyn, Herts, England.
The colonel states that he found
two young cuckoos with the parent
birds in faithful attendance. AS is
generally known. the regular habit OF
the cuckoo Is to lay its eggs in the
nests of other birds, leaving the rear
ing of their offspring to perfect
strangers.
This is said to be the third success.
sive year that cuckoos have brought
up their young at Welwyn.

practically all have cellars the full

for coal and one for the storage OF
fruit and vegetables. A furnace In
the cellar is In itself a splendid ven-
tilator; It keeps the cellar dry and
warm. and the heat from 1t will force
ventilation. Then, the circulation OF
air in the pipes and through the reg

Many plants use poison as a means
OF protection. The sun spurge has q
poisonous juice which kills any In
sects which approach 1t, while the
poisonous properties of the deadly
nightshade are well known. The
bracken fern has such bitter taste
that cows and sheep feeding near 1t
will not touch 1t, and the leaves of
the buttercup have bitter taste
which is much disliked by plant-eat
ing animals.

SALADS AND SANDWICHES.

The unusual always appeals to most
people. and when a combination never
before heard of is mentioned, we are
all anxious to try it. Here is one
which will at least excite remark:
Poppy Seed Salad.--Grate a little
sage cheese over some freshly
washed and web dried lettuce; add
the finishing touch ny sprinkling over
1t some freshly roasted poppy seed,
which adds an unusual flavor. Serve
with French dressing.
Olive and Celery Sandwiches
Chop in a bowl equal quantities of
tender heart celery and stuffed olives;
moisten with salad dressing to spread
easily, and spread on well buttered
bread.
Mint Cucumber Sandwiches.-Place
thinly sliced crisp cucumber dipped in
French dressing, and sprinkle with
mint finely chopped. Put together just
before serving
Salad Of Nuts and Green Peas
A delicious salad may be made by
combining green peas with English
wainuts In the proporotlon OF thiru
Of nuts to two-thirds Of peas. with any
desired salad dressing. Serve on let
tuce leaves with a slice or two Of to-
mato for garnish
Summer SaIad.-Cook a quart of
shelled Lima beans In sailed water.
When done, drain the beans and chill
them. Peel and cut into very small
dice two crisp tart apples and chop
fine two sweet green peppers, from
which the seeds and ribs have been
removed. Mix all together with may
onnaise favored with onion Juice.
Chestnuts and apples are a good
combination, as are any nuts with
good favored apple.

mill on the Mooresville and Culleoka
road just about four miles east OF
Culleoka The mill was practically a
wreck and a corn crib nearby was
badly wrecked. Many great oaks and
elms were destroyed Trees that
were from two to three feet in diam
eter at the stump were twisted as
though they were saplings. The
storm did not cover an area fifty
yards square and it's force was spen,
in a very short distance. Fortunate
ly there were few houses in that i'm.
mediate section. One man living
there stated he did not have time to
get to his storm house before the cy-
clone was over. Fortunately his house
was untouched, but several big trees in
the yard were uprooted.

RESPONSIBILITY SEEMS TO BE
FIXED ON STATED TRAIN
CREW.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 11.-For the
purpose of fixing responsibility for
the rear end collision near Franklin
Saturday night, in which Flagman
gibson was burned to death and other
members of the train crew injured, an
investigation was conducted here on
Monday by l.. & N. officials. A num-
Der of trainmen were examined at the
office of Train Master w. Brant, and
it is understood that they all gave
practically the same version of the
accident.
1t is understood that the investiga-
ton fixed the responsibility upon
members of crew IA, the stalled train,
1t being shown that no efforts were
made to protect the rear of the train,
and that no fagman was sent to warn
approaching trains of danger.
The Louisville & Nashville made
every effort to save the life of Flag
man Gibson, who was pinioned under
the wreckage and slowly Generated,
was the statement of Train Master
Brant. He stated that as soon as it
was reported that the wrecked trains
were on fire, that a special relief
train was dispatched to the scene,
and that every effort was made to res
cue the unfortunate flagman.

TURKEYS COMING
TO THE MARKET
MAURYS FAMOUS BIRDS WILL
BE NUMEROUS AND FAIRLY
LARGE.

Produce dealers have commenced
the dressing of their Thanksgiving
turkeys and are having ideal weather
for it. Thousands of birds are com.
ing to the market to all the produce
dealers Of the county. However, the
price has perceptibly weakened since
the buying for the holiday trade
commenced and dealers are offering
a cent less this week than they were
last week The market opened at
fifteen cents, an unusually good price,
but the market weakened Saturday
and there was drop of one cent. It
is not improbable that there will be
a further decline for the market is
not strong at the quotation.
For the early time of the year the
turkeys are weighing rather heavy
and the crop is numerous Several
of the dealers have bought lots of
spring turkeys that weighed around
eighteen pounds, which is considered
a big weight even for the Christmas
bird. However, the turkeys are not
overly fat this fall and in many In
stances while large are not up to the
standard for flesh. The crop of the
county is big one and many are the
Fasteners who this year will enjoy
a Maury county bird, the most delect-
able in the whole land.
