The Mabel team upheld the mega
tive of the question very ably. They
limited their arguments TO a few
points which they presented clear
ly and very ably, while on the other
hand the burden of proof rested on
the preparatory team. The latter
covered much wider range and pre-
sented very many arguments, in fact

harped upon and presented so ably
as those of their opponents. In de-

clearly.

c. A. Whalen, Mr.. E. E. Berg, and

Helpful Cake MAKING Hints
Always sift -four and &C Baking
Powder at least three times. The
more sitting, the lighter the cake.
Remember that! To cream but
ter and sugar quickly, warm the
sugar slightly. Beat yolks of eggs
with rotary beater. Whip whites
of eggs with fat spoon whip.
Water makes lighter cakes; milk
makes richer cakes.
To mix a cake, first cream but
ter and sugar thoroughly, then add
yolks, if used. Then alternately
add moisture and -four that has
been sifted with baking powder
and stir until smooth and glossy,
adding egg whites after thoroughly
mixing.
Alacays use x { Baking Powdey.
Biscuit Helps
Always sift -four and K c Baking
Powder at least three times.
Have shortening cold and firm.
Mix dough as soft as it can be
handled. The softer dough goes
into the oven, the lighter the
biscuit when it comes out. 1t is
easier for K G Baking Powder to
do its work in soft than in stiff
dough. Mix biscuits very little.
Do not knead. Stir up with spoon
or knife and press in shape to roll
on Toured board.
With K G Baking Powder re-
suits are sure and certain. Ask
your grocer for K G.. 40

A consignment of 100000 trout fry
was received Tuesday afternoon by
the Anglers club and planted in the
nurseries in the Bitter Root river and

all black speckled trout and were born
at the government hatchery in Boze-
man. They were taken from the train
and hurried to the streams in automo-
biles loaned by Charles Cowell Tom
Marlowe and DIR. Fuller. This season
of the year is considered a favorable
time for planting as the fry will re-
main in the nurseries until high wa
ter In the spring and then they will
be able to shift for themselves in
open water.
