sumner taking advantage o. the parcel
post and the country producer has
likewise received a much higher price
for his goods.
One reason why farm butter COM
mands such a low figure on the open
market is because the quality is not
uniform. One lot will be over-colored,
while another lot will be under-col-
ored. Notifies and white streaks in
butter are very common. The salt in
many cases is too high and in IN un-
dissolved condition, while again it will
be lacking. Poor flavor and greasi-
ness are not uncommon.
Print the butter in ~one-pound or
%two-pound cakes with wooden print
ers. Wrap in parchment paper and
put in p~astehoard boxes or cartons. A
neatly wrapped package containing a
medium uniformly-colored butter of
firm texture and we'll dissolved salt is
in demand and will command a good
price. Such butter when sold in five
pound lots car he sent by parcel post
$50 miles for 9 cents, which, when 5
cents riore is added, viii insure it's
safe delivery. This means a cost Of
about 3 cents a pound for mailing.
This butter will sell for about 80
cents q pound, when the present price
OF butter fat is about % cents.

tern is embroidered on the usual shade

to the accepted method, the pattern is
not worked. The background is filed
In with the cross-stitch, leaving the
flower and its leaf formations in re-
lief.
The effect is charming and the labor
much less tedious than the old way.
For towel and pillow Ease borders. or
even for table scarf runner bordes.
this method Of woking crossstitch
patterns is especially commended.

EMBARRASSING for Rector.

A rector of a certain English church

up and begged!

Jefferson City,-Presiding Justice
R, F. Walker, in an opinion concurred
in by Judge John G. Brown, Judge c..
b. Fari9 not sitting in this case, de-
clared unconstitutional the sections
of the game aid fish law %forbidding
the possession or handling of dyna-
mite or other explosives without a
permit issued by the county clerk.
Judge Walker declares these sec
lions invalid for the reason that the
title of the act carrying them con-
tains no reference to them.
The rest Of the act relative to the
protection of game and fish is de-
clared to be valid, as the title under
which it was passed indicates the
character Of the provisions.
