PLAN CONCRETE ROAD
FROM PELLA WEST

Knoxville, Dec. ia movement
was started in way, at the CONNER
cial association last week to build
concrete highway from Pella to Des
Moines river bridge. This certainly
would be a grand thing, and if move.
ment could then be taken up and a
concrete road be built from the bridge
at Knoxville, the citizens would have
accomplished something worth while.
A committee will be appointed to as
certain the probable cost of the road,
and then the work of raising funds will
be commenced. The proposition is
worthy Of the consideration of our
people, and if it can be carried
through, it would certainly be grand
thing. It would bring the Wabash
road right up to Pella, as motor
trucl line could be established be.
tween that railroad and Pella. There
are plenty of business houses in the
cities that haul their freight three or
four miles and think nothing of 1T.

MAKES AN EARLY START

Dear Editor and Sisters: have wanted to write to The Corner these many days, but I seemed to have no idle moments. and Samantha's letter made me enthusiastic enough to be writing between four and five o'clock this fine morning. before I "get busy"
 Mas story was thoroughly enjoyed. What big bump of humor she must haveI I don't wonder Pa has such a jovial look, as she must keep him srnil- ing so much his face has grown that way, and he can't get it back. Life must be "one long sweet dream with such a good natured looking part ner. It does one good to look at a face brinining over with mirth and happiness, and was pleased to meet him. Thanks ever so much for the card You can double that number now
 Black Pansy: I was very much dis appointed in not meeting you that day :; that was not the first disappointment, as I found out, too late, that Aunty was depending on me to help her find the place where we could find a Black Pansy. I am living in hopes I shall meet you before long. I had a fine

THE SIMPLE LIFE FOR FRANK.

Hello, One and All Ye Social Cor .ner Folks: Just 8 ring-up for a chat We've had cool breeze nights and mornings and it's getting very dry and dusty and the vegetables are not com ing up very good in our section; and the insect pests for plants and the caterpillars and even the qborers for the more this season as well as the cut worm.
 In transplanting plants wrap piece of thickish paper around the stem an inch above and below the soil.
 Black Pansy: used soapy water for the green lice on plants. They are free now.
 I hope to give a good report later: can't count chicks before matched.
 Fairy Godmother: The Frank child is able to be around somewhat, thank you. Did I not see you standing in the open doorway of the veranda? It is a pleasing view of you in the new home The birthday card was re- ceived, thank you
 Bon Ami and Lucy Acorn, don't get discouraged. I am to send you the cards some day and to others if noth- ing new takes place.
 Aunt Mehitable: The Fourth of July parade creates such an appetite for me for all the matted milk tablets I sat myself down to those Social Corner Johnny-ca and codfish balls and horseradish of our own mix up. Wish you all might walk in and make our acquaintance.
 Simon's Wife and An Interested Readers letters are so smooth-they run like a new honeymoon. The sim pie life is the style for me.

FEW EASILY PREPARED SANDWICHES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The sandwich is so popular as lunch that a few recipes for easily made ones may be found to be convenient for those who are fond of them or have occasion to provide them:
 A Banana Sandwich-Bread at least two days old is best-cut off crust and butter end of loaf; shave off a slice IS inch thick, spread with mayonnaise and add thin slices of banana; cover with a second slice of bread
 A Fla Sandwich-Mince fine six figs and 12 good fresh raisins and spread on well buttered bread.
 A Peanut Sandwich-Grind one cup of freshly roasted peanuts and mix with tablespoon of French dressing i; butter well the bread and spread be- tween the slices.
 A Walnut Sandwich-Grind a cup of English walnut meats and mix with mayonnaise dressing. Spread between slices of well buttered bread.
 A Brownbread Sand~ich-Place a thin slice Of cream cheese between thin slices of buttered brownbread.
 A Sardine Sandwch-Take contents of 1-2 pound box of sardines. remove skin and bones and shop fine, add two hard boiled eggs, chopped and season ed with a half teaspoon of French mustard and a half teaspoon grated horseradish; mix well together and spread between well buttered slices of bread or cold biscuits.
 These recipes may help some Sister in getting together something new for the lunch basket, or a to be quickly served meal. DELICE.

FOUR WAYS TO SERVE CUcUM-
 RERS.

Editor of the Social Corner: The American people eat cucumbers green and most of them do not know that if washed in cold water until they make no froth and then soaked in salt and water for half hour or more they may be eaten without danger of dis treSSing one.
 Cooked cucumbers are rarity in most American families. They may be baked, friend or stewed:
 Baked Cucumber-Peel good sized cucumbers, cut in two 1engthWise and remove seeds and soft parts and keep the form. To three cucunbers take S-4 of a cup of soft bread crumbs and rub them in butter the size of a small egg; add teaspoon of finely chopped onion; season with a large saltspOon of salt and a good dash of cayenne. Sprinkle a sa1tspoon of salt over them, fill with seasoned bread crumbs and bake until the cucumbers are soft and the filling a light brown.
 Cucumber SaIad-Cut cucumbers in thin slices and soak in cold water an hour; two good sized ones will do. Cut some cold, we'll salted potatoes in thin slices. using about half the quan- tity of potatoes that you use of cu cumbers. Mix them together and pour over mayonnaise dressing.
 Cucumber Fritters-Peel and grate three cucumbers; press all juice from the pulp and add one-half cup of cream to two cups of pulp, cup of flour, one tablespoon of melted butter, a level teaspoon of salt, and a half tea spoon of white pepper; beat four eggs, yolks and whites separately, very light and add to the batter, which should be very thick. Have ready a kettle of hot fat and drop in a large spoonful at a time, removing as soon as crisp and brown. Serve as you would friend oys- ters, which they resemble.
 Stuffed Cucumbers-Pare six cucum- bers of medium size. cut off the end and with a spoon remove all seeds; let the sukes stand for ten minutes in water containing a little vinegar, and then parboil for three minutes in boil ing water: drain and lay in cold water; drain again and fill the inside with good chicken forcemeat; line pan with thin slices of pork. lay on the GU 7 cumbers, season with salt, pepper and minced herbs; baste with melted but ter and roast, covered with buttered paper Lift from the pan and pour a brown sauce around.
 Served in either of these ways, eu- cumbers make most appetizing dish.

FLORA HAS THE FLOOR

slab received on the bare flesh made me quickly swinm for the shore, and shall always be doubting Thomas when water is said to be non-con- ductor. Twice I have driven 2e miles to Brockway's Landing on the Con- nectcut River to see the giant water lilies in Selden's Cove. The leaves big as the top of "a water-pa1L will hold up rail and quebs and the blossoms approach Victoria-regia Fms most wonderful native lily is found wild nowhere else in the world except in a corner of one of the Great Lakes. Little wonder then that the Selden family say Taboo, Hands Off, from their unique Nymphoea maxima.
 From a bog at Brewster's Neck, have sent a bushel of bulbs of our wild calIa lily to Bushnell Park, Hart ford. The queerest spell of all our flowers the pitcher plant is all over this boz green heron have always bred here, and a codony of night heron have lately placed their platform nests in the eedars. Exquisite nests of the blue yellow back ichen. An Irish bog the hanging licken. An Irish bog trotter might love this bog. for under it I am told are deposits of real peat.
 Like other tenderfeet. on my frst visit south. I was surprised at the in conspicuous blossoms of the much touted orange and magnolia trees, we got our ideas of them too high rom the spring dooryard magnoiias at the north, and the trees seen now and then at the North called magnoiias with blossom large as a saucer. The most fragrant magnolia is the tiny magnolia fischata. of which l broug&8 a potted specimen from the extreme south. Though there may be a doubt whether man has improved on nature in the towering cherry, towering al- mond, Towering dogwood, and flower, ing quince, there can be no questioH; in my mind but that, the fowerin@ peach, with Its masses of deepest car- mine, is the showiest ornamental tree in the wide world.
 I cannot here record the many punches of Spectabilis or showy or enid I have picked at Yantic, Hearth- stone and Ayers mountain nor now dwell on flowers of speech. flowers ot rhetoric, snow and frost flowers. But must not forget to tell you, in your auto and trolley trips this week, td Gardens Boston And in July and August be sure and visit the wonder. full buds of red, blue, yellow, and white water lilies and South American and Egyptian lotus at the Vavrnum addi- tion to Forest Hill Park, Springfield - a vision of aquatic loveliness almost beyond comparison, in the dominion of Flora.
 The so-called language of our com mon flowers is pretty simple. but who has tried to express the hidden mean ing of Rafflesia Arnold-the largest flower in the world. When Flora has given her message of peace to the sons of men. and her warning is heed ed. then indeed will the millennium be at hand and then there will be no more wars or rumors of war
