ROAD REPAIRING

Europe, generally speaking, is ahead
Of the United States IN the matter Of

than 2.l40 separate authorities, who
between them administer 1T5,4s7 miles
of roads, or an average of only eighty
two miles apiece. In Scotland, apart
from the big cities, there are over 200
burghs, one-h half OF which have but ten

Needless to say such minute mile

4 BUSINESS CHANGE

Frank ID. Mcclure, who has been
associated with o. u. Coy under the
firm name Of Coy & Mcclure for
many years, has retired from the firm
and his place taken by his brother
John A. Mcclure, who is well and fav-
orably known TO the patrons Of the
store through his connection with
them at different times.
Frank ID. Mcclure has associated
himself with +. II. Meyer in the cream
business. They are buying and ship
ping cream to New York City. This
is business which has the prospects
Of working out big. At present they
are shipping in small way but in
creasing as they may make contracts
with the various farmers for their
supply Of cream. They ship on the
evening train by express and It is
delivered in New York the next morn
ing early
This is matter Of much interest to
the farmers Of this vicinity as it will
give them the skim milk for the rails
ing Of stock and keeps the money in
at home.

Ing about cooking finds It very difficult
to make ends meet at times, while thu

II there is nothing but scraps In the
house.
To the housewife whose only knowl-
edge Of cooking Ia how to broil and
roast meat and boil and bake potatoes
and a few other vegeta bles-to this
woman scraps seem at for nothing but
the rubbish heap. The idea that these
scraps may be used would probably
never occur to her, while the sugges-
ton that not only might they be used
but that they might be made quite de
licious. would seem preposterous.
One way to save the ieftoyers is to
make them into good soup. When
there is good butchers bone for a
solid foundation great many Of the
scraps can be put into the soup pot for
Havoring. The bones left over from
roasts Of lambs, veal or chicken can be
made into fine soups with the aid Of

GOOD ROADS IN ARIZONA.
