WIN HOFFMAN PRIZES

HS JuuSSS, IIOl. M. J. 1oou-
win, Prof. w. o. Hopper and
County Attorney E. w. Senff,
in the contest inaugurated by
Mr.. H. G.. Hoffman, General
Agent, in this city, of the State
Mutual Life Assurance Com
pany, of Massachusetts, among
the school children of the city
and county, awarded the first
prize, $1,000, to Miss Margaret
Eleanor Guilfoile, of the High
School; second prize. $500, to
Mr.. H. Mason Kash, of the
County High School and third
prize, $3.50, to Miss Lucille
Laughlin, of the Mt. Sterling
Graded School and the prize of
$2.5o to the teacher whose pupil
won the first prize, to Miss
Mary Lockridge.
This was a most unique and
novel contest, the subject being
why I Wish My Father Would
Talk With Hoffman and Take
Some Life Insurance" or, if the
father was already insured in
Mr.. Hoffman's Agency, "Why 1
Am Glad My Father Talked
With Hoffman And Carries
Life Insurance"
1t was the writers pleasure to
read number of these compo-
sitions and the spirit throughout
the lot was very touching. The
most of them from children of
ages from ten to fifteen years,
dwelling on the fact that in the
event that their father died with
out life insurance they would
not be able to complete their ed
ucations, or that their mothers
in order to keep them in school
and in clothes, would be forced
to work for a living.
There was considerable inter
est manifested by the pupils
throughout the county and we
join with them and the teachers
in assuring Mr.. Hoffman of our
appreciation of his interest dis
played in our young people. Mr..
Hoffman tells us that he does
not expect to use any of the
names attached to the compost
lions given him, but he does ex-
pect, at an early date to begin
publishing one of these each
week in this, Mt. Sterling's lead
ing paper, and, as stated, it hav-
ing been the pleasure of the
writer to read quite a number of
these, we are satisfied that they
will furnish to our readers, even
though in the form of an adver-
tisement, considerable food for
thought"

REJUvENATING THE
OLD ORCHARD

The farm orchard is usually
one of the most neglected spots
on the farm. For years it has
been allowed to care for itself
and as result the owner gath
ers only an inferior crop of fruit
when everyone who cares for
his orchard properly is blessed
with a bountiful supply.
The question is often asked as
to whether it will pay to rejuve-
nate these old trees. In many
cases this will pay and in some
cases it will not. 1t will not pay
to renovate an orchard where
there is very poor stand of
trees or when the trees are over
thirty years of age. Often an
orchard is located very poorly
to begin with as regards soil and
site and hence would not war
rant the care and expense nee
essary to rejuvinate it. The
fact that the varieties are not
well selected should not cause
one to consider his orchard
worthless provided the trees are
healthy and vigorous, because
in such a case they may be sue
cessfully top-grafted into more
desirable variety.
In working over an old or
chard there are four important
steps to keep in mind, viz: prun-
ing, spraying, fertilizing and
cultivation.
In pruning an old orchard the
first step will be to remove all
dead and crossing branches. An
attempt should be made to cut
back the top in order to make
the operations of spraying and
harvesting easier. The ends of
the branches should be thinned
out so as to admit plenty of air
sunlight. The operation Of
pruning should be drawn out
over a period of two or three
wears so that the trees may
have an opportunity to adjust
themselves to the new condi-
tons. After this a small an
nual pruning each year should
be given. Whenever large
limb is removed care should be
taken to make the cut at close
to the trunk as possible and to
coat the wound with an appli-
cation of lead paint.
Spraying is also necessary in
order to get the best results.
The number of applications will
depend upon the conditions in
the orchard If the trees are
badly infested with San Jose
scale an application of lime-sul-
phur should be applied in the
fall or just before the buds start
to swell in the spring. Imme-
diately after the blossoms fall it
will be necessary to use an ap-
plication of arsenate of lead in

CHARITIES PLAN
!. WHOLESALE AID
OF GIRLS :

Miss Lillian Moody, social work
expert for the Associated Charities,
has under investigation the cases of
IL Chinese, Portuguese and HawaiiaA
girls between the ages OF Is and is
years, who are attempting to secure
work in stores and homes through the
organization. Although the charities
has done considerable work along
the line of securing employment for
girls and women since its organiza-
ton, that is said to be the first time
that so large number of cases have
come up for consideration az, one
time. ~ -t5tss
Financial trouble in the home seems
to be the reason for these girls seek
ing work, according to Miss Moody
For instance, the father of two of the
girls is earning but mere pittance
each month, and has family of sew
erai children to support These con-
ditions have driven the girls to seek
work and, while working, they are
anxious to find time in which to at.
tend school. Reasons of this nature
apply to nearly all the other apph-
cants. Miss Moody was successful In
securing Homework for some girls a
short time ago, but at this time there
appears to, be no positions vacant.
She has taken the opportunity to re-
quest all business houses of private
homes in need of girls, nurses, cash.
fers or housemaids, to communicate
with her.

COOKING THE
CHEAPER CUTS

Just because the chefs Of the great
lhostelries Of the United States and
Canada would scorn to emboss upon
their menus such dishes as eFilet OF
Neck, .eianl1d Flank, and Fric-
assoc Of Brisket, sundry millions Of
housewives keep right on telephon-
ling the butcher for ribs, loln, les,
shoulder, porterhouse, tenderloin, or
upper round
And SO 1t might go on were It not
| for great awakening due to cam
lpaign of education. The lesson being
taught it: The cheap cuts are good
and easily prepared for the table. The
much despised neck contains as
much food value as the loin, and at
lone-sixth the price. The neck. flank.
plate, brisket, rump or upper chin Of
beef are all juicy cuts, rich In flavor
ling and needing only proper cooking
to be desirable foods.
Mutton nowadays is meat hard to
sell in the market, yet It Is q meat
OF big food value and easily prepared.
BY the aid OF the freless cooker, the
housewife should find the purchase
Of mutton a dividend paying invest
ment, and the same holds true In the
case Of the entire category of despis-
ed cuts of beef and sheep
/ The day is not far distant when
every kitchen, be It ever so humble,
viii be supplied with a fireless cook
er of some kind, and the expenditure
OF gas or coal will not have to be
reckoned so closely that the cheap
cuts of meat viii be avoided because
1t costs so much to cook them ten
der.
The use of the fireIess cooker does
away with the objection often heard
that the cheap meats are costly to
prepare--as far as fuel in concerned.
AS to the fiavorings added to these
meats for variety. enough OF the var
icus kinds to last an ordinary family
for a year can be purchased for dol
lar.
Meats that are to be used for soup
may be selected from the cheaper
cuts, such as neck and brisket, shin
and shank. These cuts are good be-
cause of the gelatinous material found
there. The soup meat is allowed to
stand in cold water, and is cooked be-
low the boiling point, as the object
here is to draw OUT all possible flaw

following his separation from his
wife, for some sort Of a national

that afternoon he reported for work
at the telephone company.
AS he was working in the trouble
room, the attorney stated, the tele
phone rang for him. It was his wife
Over the phone she abused him He
realized that she was drunk. Some
time in the afternoon, in moments oil
leisure, he cleaned his revolver, plac
ing in the weapon when the cleaning
work was done, eight bullets IN the
FrnagGzine and one IN the chamber Of
the gun. Again the woman telephoned
him and once more she abused him
He realized that she was intoxicated
and hung up the phone.
Then the woman came. It was
evening and he was still on duty In
the trouble room. She abused him
again; they quarre1ed; she grabbed
the revolver which lay on the table,
saying that she would kill him. In
the struggle the gun went of and the
woman was killed.
This is the summary OF the defense
which will be relied upon, stated
Larnach.
3 Several witnesses were put on foi

only one for the defense. Among the
witnesses for the former this morning
were Captain Baker of the police de

Captain Baker and Bolts testified
among other things, to statements
made by the prisoner when he was
arrested. Captain Baker testified that
the man had cried he had killed his
wife but that she had driven him to
DO it. Bolts testified to having heard
about the same statement
! The hack driver, the only witness
so far put on by the defense, gave an
account of the woman's acts during
the afternoon. He stated that she
