More of Efficiency.

No argument can successfully re-
flute the fact that efficiency is the
prime factor in any business es-
adjustment, any tribunal and all
courts. Year after year the body
polite is demanding more and more
of efficiencv-they are demanding
men that are efficient to do their
work.
Efficiency comes from experience
and ability. The very existence of
our forebears depended upon the
exercise of their prowess as hunters
and their skill in killing. Indeed
this is true of today. The safety of
our State and nation, the public's
general welfare, depends upon the
selection of men experienced and
able. The voters of Missouri will
select judges for the Supreme Court
at the primary in August Will the
people decide to their benefit by de-
Gliding upon the men best fitted?
If so, they will welcome the oppor-
tunity to select Hon. James 7. Blair
because he is able and experienced.
The one map among all that has
been writing opinions, and opinions
that have met with favor by the
Judges of the Supreme Court and
his associates. Indeed it should be
a welcome privilege to vote for
Hon. James T. Blair in August; it
speaks for efficiency because he has
been tried and found able aud cap
able.-Webb City Register,

Grass.

Eloquent John J. Ingalls,, of Kan.
sas once paid the following beauti-
full tribute to Grass:
Lying in the sunshine among
the buttercups and the dandelions
of May, scarcely higher in intelIi
gence than the minute tenants of
that mimic wilderness our earliest
recOllectiOnS are of grass; when the
fitful fever is ended and the foolish
wrangle of the market and the
forum is closed, grass heals over
the scar that our descent into the
bosom of the earth has made, and
the carpet of the infant becomes
the blanket of the dead-Grass is
the forgiveness of nature her con-
siStent benediCtion. Fields tram
Piled with battle, saturated with
blood, torn with the rutS of can
non, grow green again with grass
and carnage is forgotten. Streets
abandoned by traffic become grass
grown like rural lanes and are ob-
liberated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is
immortal. Beleagured by the sui.
len hosts of winter it withdraws
into the impregnable fortress of its
Subterranean vitality and emerges
upon the first solicitation of spring
SOwn by the winds, the wandering
birds, prOpagated by the subtle ~
riculture of the elements which are
its ministers and servants, it soft
ems the rude outline of the world.
1t bears no blazonry bloom to
charm the sense with fragrance or
SplendOr, but its hOmely hue is
more enchanting than the lily or
rose 1t yields no fruit in earth
or air, and yet should its harveStS
fail for single year, famine would
depopulate the world"

Cooking Recipes.

Cream Pie-Pour a pint of cream
upon a cup and half of powder
ed sugar; let stand until the whites
of three eggs have been beaten TO a
stiff froth; add this to the cream
and beat up thoroughly; crate a
little nutmeg over the mixture and
bake in two pies without upper
Gusts.
Delicate Cake-Three cups of
flour, two of sugar, three, fourthS
cups of sweet milk. whites of six
eggs, half cup of butter, teaspoon
cream tartar, half teaspoon of soda;
flavor with lemon.
White Mountain Cake One cup
of sugar, one-half cup of butter, half
cup of sweet milk, one-half cup
cornstar Oh, one cup flour, whites of
live eggs, one teaspoonful of vanilla
two teaspoonfuls baking powder;
bake in layers
Frosting for Above Whites of
four eggs, beaten very light; six
tablespoonful of sifted sugar, a lit
tie vanilla; spread between layers
and outside of cake.
Custard Pie-Make a custard of
three eggs, with milk: season with
nutmeg to the taste; bake in ordi-
nary crust; put in quick oven,
that the crust may not be heavy,
and as soon as this is heated re-
move it to place in the oven of
more moderate heat, that the Gus
tard may bake slowly and not cur
die; when done beat the whites of
three eggs to froth; add sugar and
spread over the top and return to
the oven to brown slightly; small
pinch of salt added to a custard
heightens the flavor; little soda in
the crust prevents it from being
heavy. Very nice.-Mrs. A. G.
