K C Potato Doughnuts

Sift three times, the -four, salt, spice and
baking Powder. Beat eggs with rotary
heater, then still using rotary heater, grad
ually add sugar, then work in the mashed
potato with spoon and alternately add milk
and -four mixture. Make soft dough, roll
into sheet, cut into rounds, pinch hole in
the center with the finger and fry in deep fat.
Fat for frying should not be hot enough
to brown the doughnut until it has risen.
When the doughnut is dropped into the fat
it sinks to the bottom. As soon as it comes
up it should be turned and turned number
OF times while cooking. This recipe is ex-
cellent as they do not take the fat in frying
and will stay moist for days.

they have announced the fact with emphasis
seemingly born Of conviction There have been

but now that the opportunity is presented. the

The people TO whom this opportunity is pre-
scented are of those who have loudly proclaimed
that prohibition does not prohibit, because liquor
could be obtained from other States There is
no sense In voting out the saloons here" they
told us, when all the topers have 10 do Is to
write letter and get ali they want am

see national prohibition law passed but these

HaSty Maria ges.

Not long ago young man and young
man of Houston. Texas, speeded to the office
of Justice Of the peace and demanded instant
marriage. They their way to a train.
The obiigine justice jumped into the car and
pronounced them and wife while the race
to the train continued. barely within speed
limits we are told The justice asked ex-
PLANTATION for the haste or the couple and none
given.
great many marriages might just as well
be performed in this irreverent manner for all
the thought that is given to them by those en-
tering upon what was universally regard
ed the sacred state of matrmony. It is easy
divorce. therefore the risk is small
such seems TO be a too prevalent way OF reason
Ing.
When the United States had plenty Of free
land, marriage was encouraged because new
communities wished to settlers. The for
malities were reduced to the minimum. But a
wholesome public sentiment and the extreme
rarity of divorce sustained wedlock against the
dangers to which the law exposed il.
That age is past The country is longer
deeply Interested in the rapid growth of it's
population. There is why it should not
return to the stricter ways of older countries
and surround marriage with such safeguards
Of formalty and publicity are found salutary
In other lands. Nor should any minister or
civil officer. authorized to perform the marriage
ceremony lend himself to a marriage farce.
The adivorce problem should be attacked
from both sides. This interest of the :
munity is not merely to deny a legal separation
to and women that badly mated, but
as far possible to prevent them from being
unsuitably mated. The interest of the COM
munity is in the home which marriage should
esta bish and which may be broken up even
without divorce.--knoxvilIe Sentinel.

A Notable Conversion
---Ex-Gov. Patterson

When In Nashville weeks ago I heard
Ex-Governor Patterson speak Prohibition.
The speaker had started when / reached the
auditorium and when / entered he was descrlb-
Ing his conversion. 1t q plain, straight
forward story. He had fallen lower and lower
until the night his enemies caught him intox-
Gated In a house Of ill-fame and he had been
arrested and Inundated in the newspapers be 3.
fore the whole country. When he could get no
help anywhere else, he turned to God for help
and God heard him and forgave his sins and
showed him the way of life and peace From
that day he had consecrated his life to fight
the liquor traffic, for he knew by awful ex-
perienCe in his own life and in the life OF his
family how terrible and damning its power.
1t most extraordinary experience to
hear this who had been the head of this
liquor forces of Tennessee, now answer the ar
eurnents which he himself had formerly used
against the temperance forces One familiar
with the history could not but wonder II the
ghost of Senator Carmack did not walk on the
platform Of the auditorium that night on the
very platform Carmack had begun his memora-
bic campaign In Tennessee, which had finally
resulted in his murder by the Coopers. who were
supposed 10 be in league with Patterson and
who were pardoned by him when convicted by
the Jury ON that platform Professor w K.
Webb had pronounced Carmacks eulogy. Now
Patterson, ON the same platform was declaring
his conversion and making a sweeping indict-
ment ~ the liquor traffic and pledging himself
10 studying warfare against ii.
4 Is The conversion genuine Is being asked
by many. very many good people and nobody
Of course can tell, except the subject OF It,
But 1t has all the marks of a genuine con-
version, and If 1t had occurred with any per-
son not in the public eye and had he not i'm
naediately taken the platform TO confound the
enemy. il is likely there would be little ques-
tioaang about it. But there is much question

the general assembly will be called upon to
choose q Supreme court judge. several Circuit

measures will be up for consideration The
question u.s. can the general assembly attend to

talk of extending the session thirty days, max

ponds very much on whether Governor stuart
will call an extra session. OF course, the mem

session but it is not often that the lawmakers
will agree to do this. Another matter that
will attract attention relates TO changing the

Attorney General Williams has put out a
lengthy statement concerning summer normals,
written in a digntfled dispaBsionate way, that
must impress favorabiy all who read It. He
takes the position that IT. was never intended
by the Legislature that teachers should be re-
CURED to pay tuition. that the system of auditing
the accounts Of the normals Is unbusnesslike,
and that the University OF Virginia got back
within hundred dollars all that II expended
on the norma1s held there last summer, --Staun-
ton Leader.
Tho legislature must have intended that
teachers should be required to pay tuition 1t
would have appropriated the money to run the
schools The system of auditing the account
Of the schools may be unbusnesslike. but 1t Is
similar to that employed by most business houses,
The University of Virginia may have got back
within hundred dollars of all that it expended
on the normal held there last summer" but the
records do not show It, The records show the
contrary. though. of course, this may be due to
the fact that the auditing system Is not
predcated on the idea that conductors Of the
normal schools forgers.
