 Tn this way" said Mr. Harris: Before leaving Tuxpan for the canton (country) company that if any trouble came ur they were to wire me at Papantle, so l could arrange to get out. After being at Papantle for seven or eight days mak- ing leases for the company, I received a telegram from headquarters telling me to come at once to Tuxpan. I got the message at 4 in the afternoon, and at 430 tfAe jeffe politico (the mayor) also re- ceived \ telegram His was from Vera Cruz, sa1jng that the American troops had landed there and they had killed sev- eral hundred Mexicans and 1t was time that every Mexican should rise up in arms and defend his country

Miss Jennie Hopkins marriage tot MT. Lucius Colmant was solemnized yesterday morning at o'clock at St. Andrew s Episcopal church in the presence of a large number of friends of the popular young people. Palms and ferns banked within the chancel and forming luxu- riant mass of green about the altar made a lovely background for the bridal party as they advanced to receive the vows ad- ministered by the Rev. Willis G. Clark. Interspersed in artistic fashion among the green were clusters of sweet peas and roses which gave a bright touch of color.
 The nuptial music was in charge of Mrs. Flournoy Rivers, who played a beautifully chosen programme, merging into the bridal professional. MT. John B. Floyd and MT. Leroy Hopkins, the ushers, led the way to the altar. Miss Mary Philip Hopkins, her sisters maid of honor, entered next, looking very girlish and sweet in white crepe gown made with a broad girdle of pink velvet. and wear ing a Panama hat crowned with pink roses She carried an arm cluster of Kil- larneys.
 The bride entered with her father, MT. F. ". Hopkins, who gave her in mar riage, MT. Colmant with his best man, MT. James Hughes, meeting her at the altar A blue taffeta tailored suit of graceful design and becoming shade was worn as a going-away toillete by the bride, whose modish chapeau matched it in color. Her bouquet was made of white roses and orchids
 Mr. and Mrs. Colmant left shortly after the ceremony to spend several weeks on the, southern coast. When they return they will be in Birmingham for short time before going to his plantation for fha sl1n1rf1ar

Putting Up Olives

''1 see a request for putting up olives I send recipe which l know to be good A large, wooden bucket or keg with q hole near the bottom into which a cork is fitted is the most convenient vessel for about 30 pounds of olives. Take one can Of concentrated lye and sufficient water to cover the olives. Let it stand until when you break open an olive, the pit comes out freely. That will be from 24 to S5 hours, Drain off the lye and wash in clear water. Cover with water and change often until the lye is all drawn off (which will be several days). They are then ready for the brine. Here is sure sim pie and harmless recipe for warts. Wet once day with castor oil. I have taken off several moles with this same treat ment. If this escapes the waste basket l may come again. MRS. M. M"
 The contribution from this member is in reply to request published some- time ago for a recipe for putting up olives It may be relied upon as excel lent. I wish one of our contingent would let us have a recipe for putting up black that is, ripe-olives. To my taste they are far more palatable than the green and more digestible. l wonder they have not entirely superseded the tougher, hard CT. green olive of commerce. And will the housewife who has been successful in putting up green plums as mock olives" favor us with the formula?

Hard Soap Without Boiling

For the economical housekeeper who asks for a hard soap recipe, one made without boiling, I give mine, which I have whittled down until 1t works per- fectly for me. First, I have an iron kettle which I keep for this purpose and shall low wooden bucket Ca box will dol. Lye ruins everything but wood or iron. l save all grease except bacon fryings the salt seems to settle in the bottom of cans. I use tomato cans. l also save fats from boiled meats and do not waste bit. l weigh the grease-six pounds. Put 1t into the kettle until it dissolves. then pour two and one-half pints of cold water in a gallon jar. You may add some sal soda or borax if you like. but it isn't neces- sary. Put a 12-ounce can of lye into the water, stir with a stick till dissolved, and let 1t cool Have the grease just warm enough to stir, then slowly pour the I've into the kettle of grease. stirring with a stick or an old spoon until thoroughly mixed; then let it stand until it com mences to thicken. Before it gets too hard put a stout old piece of cloth In your bucket or box. This keeps the soap from sticking and being so hard to get out. Pour in the soap and set away Tor few days to get hard. l then cut 't eP ihto Ditcts dIQ put tnein Into an old basket to dry. 1t will be nearly white and floats fine to use in a boiler of clothes, l have never failed and I only wait until l have six pounds of grease to make more of it. If this formula is fol- lowed exactly there can be no failure should like to know how to make ribbon roses. Can you tell me where I can get directions how to make them?
 "C. G. C."
 Your letter seemed to me too long for our limits. Upon reading it I found that we cannot do without it. Home made soap is coming fast into favor. Soap made after the friendly, chatty conditions above given is honest stuff. Let it get ripe and you need not fear infiamed hands or rotten clothes. To read the formula is like sitting down in the clean kitchen and hearing the canny housemother talk 1t out hope somebody can tell her how to make ribbon roses. l would if I could
