The Manning graded school with 1t
class banners marched upon the green
and took position behind the masons
which was quite a feature OF the dem
oDstration.
The exercises were opened witt
prayer by the acting grand chaplain
Rev. L. 3. McCord, pastor of the Man
ming Presbyterian church, followed
with music by the band and hymr
BY q specially selected choir. The
stone was placed in position by the
Grand Master aided by his fellow Off
GERS, and when this ceremony was con-
cluded Mr.. Bryan delivered an address.
The remarks Of this high official were
not only fitting and beautiful, but in
nearly every sentence there was les.
son teaching morality. We regret
that time will not y nit the writer to
even give to the readers / synopsis OF
this address.
After the open air ceremonies the
Assem- blage went into the court room TO
hear DR.. Howard Lee Jones, the orator
of the day. This portion of the exer'
cises was presided over by j. H. Leses-
ne Esq. who, in a splendid speech
pointed out the object OF the gathering,
and then introduced the speaker. Dr.
Jones is son of General Robert E
Lees staff chaplain, and the securing
of this distinguished gentleman for this
occasion was indeed fortunate. He was
thoroughly at ease with his great sub
iect, aad for over one hour he held his
hearers SPELL bound with his magnifi-
cient e]oquence Every that heard
his grand address went away feeling
themselves amply repaid for having
brayed the threatening elements.
At the conclusion of DR.. Jones'
speech, Mr.. Lesesne varied the pro-
gram by nalling upon the few veterans
present To come forward that he might
present them to the Audience, it was
indeed very thoughtful and impress

Board Of Equalization.

There was an interesting meeting ir
the court house last Saturday. called
by the Supervisor for the purpose OF
considering the matter of property
assessment, and also the laxity that
prevailed among the township asses
sors last year which caused large
amount of property to be left of the
books. The attendance was good
every member of the equalization
board was present except the repre-
sentative from Midway. After dis
cuss;ng the advisabiliSv Of having the
present law for collecting the tax re-
turns repealed. and returning back to
the old system, it was the conclusion
of the meeting to continue the present
law: it was shown there was no fault
with the law. but the fault lay with
those entrusted with its enforcement.
Those present were as follows: Full

The meeting was presided over by
Supervisor w. r. Davis, and Auditor
Burgess acted as Secretary. Senator
Applet was also present to advise with
the Board. The Auditor had prepared

agitation of this matter will do whole

AFTERNOON FR0CKS FOR

skirt, made of two circular f1ounces;
between these is a satin belt or sash

| rounding. is the usual neck finish. The
sleeveless overblouses of velvet that
are seen on the grown-up dresses are
also feature of those worn by girls of
fourteen.
They are rather like a MILDLY blouse
in shape, but not SO long, and the arm
hole is very much enlarged, so that the
foundation dress of serge shows.
Different shaped buttons not only
come in plain colors in dark modish
shades, brown, plum. blue and fawns,
but are also decorated by odd stripes
of contrasting color. Sometimes there
is only one stripe across the center,
sometimes it is the button edge that
has pencillike lines of deeper or
lighter color.
The suit coats are made both in the
long and in the short lengths. Some of
the smart models are of the redingote
type. the coat reaching the three-quar-
ter length.
Some of the lace guimpes are of en-
broidered net of the applique type of
lace. and they finish at the top with
round neck that does not come quite up
to the base of the throat

Smashing War Prices.

BILE. Rich and poor met as one woman
First, it was resolved that no person
should purchase more provisions than
the usual supply, the first thought OF
some selfish persons being to lay in as
large a stock possible. which. of course,
would be a deprivation to those whose
means would not allow them to give large
orders, because the scarcity would result
in a raise of prices. Next, the grocers
and provision dealers were called upon to
see this rule was not violated by any of
their customers.
Then, in order that the food supply
should last as long as possible it was
resolved that each housewife should use
the utmost economy in planning meals.
be watchful- of waste in every channel of
housekeeping, even to the use of candles
and soap among the villagers. With the
men at war no one knew when these
useful commodities would give out Eco
nomical cooking recipes were asked for
and exchanged, and these formed a very
interesting part Of the meeting.
Then, in view Of the fact that so many
men were gone to the war and male
help was very scarce, it was requested
that the purchasers would come in per-

the shop was closed, customers going

Another interesting resolution was to
plant every bit of available ground,
either waste or land that had already
yielded crop. The rich people gave
freely of their seed and plants to their
poorer neighbors, and just as soon as
peas or other vegetables ripened the

success this school uniform movement
will have. The uniform was adopted
as the result of desires on the part of
parents and on the part of teachers
beside. The young school girls of the
present time who dressed fashionably
were not comfortably clothed for school
activities Frocks were too elaborate,
skirts were too tight. As a result the
uniform described was taken up.
This movement seems decidedly SEN
sible to most persons who have watched
school girls in the last few years. The
styles for children are almost always
modelled on those of their elders. In
womens fashions have hardly been
those that were adaptible to young
girls clothes. And the overdressed
little girl. with tight skirted and v
necked frock. was really not comfort
ably nor appropriately clothed for
school study and play.
The mother who desires simpler
clothing for her small daughter may
yet hesitate to dress the young girl
simply because her schoolmateS dress
more deliberately. In that case. simple
clothes are not desired by the young
girl. probably. And it may even be
that the mother herself dislikeS to see
her daughter not so extensively or
deliberately dressed as her companions
Almost any school mistress would
probably welcome simpler dressing on
the part of the young girls who attend
her school. So il one mother desires
to have her daughter dress more sim
ply. and if she can get other mothers
with daughters in the same school in
sympathy with her. a petition from the
mothers to the school principal would
doubtless result in the adoption by the
school OF some sort of uniform.
In many convent schools the pupils
have worn uniforms for years. School
is rightly deemed not the place to dis
play ones clothes. but place for study
and hea1th-giving physical activity
Besides that. there is certain dem
ocracy about the most attractive
schools. The young girl who cannot
AFFORD to have a dozen new frocks a
season ought to be on a par with the
one who can afford them-so far as
school goes. If a uniform is in force,
this school democracy is furthered.

To Make Good Cake.
One of the most thorough recipe books
gives a list of rules for making cake.
which, if they are carefully followed. will
result in good cake nine times out of
ten. Good cake is matter Of careful
ness and precision. not of luck. Have
the weights and measures exact. Do not
mix the cake until The oven is entirely
ready for it to go in. Sft the flour be-
fore measuring it. If baking powder or
cream of tartar is used, sift it with the
flour.
Mix the cake in an earthen bowl with
wooden spoon. Beat the yolks and
whites of the eggs separately. Grease
the tins with lard, butter blackens.
Add a quarter of a teaspo0nful of salt
as it rises too much flour has been used.
If it rises in cone in the center the
oven is too hot Beating eggs and butter
makes them light: beating flour makes
last. In filling the pans let the mixture
he a little higher on the sides than in
the middle. When the whipped whites
are added do not stir. but turn them in
lightly, so as not to break the air cells.
The oven should be only moderately
hot at first, so that the cake can get
heated through and can rise before form
ing a crust. The heat should then be
increased SO that, when the cake has
been in the oven one-half the time re-
quired for baking. light crust will be
formed. Moving or Earring the cake be-
fore the air cells are fixed is almost sure
to cause it to fall. Do not open the oven
door for the first five minutes; after
that it may be opened and shut gently.
Cake takes from fifteen minutes to an
hour to bake. according to kind and
thickness. 1t is done when broom
straw run into it comes out clean and
smooth. Be sure the cake Is done be-
fore removing it from the oven. Let it
stand Il few minutes in the tin and it
will then come out easily.
