HOW TO MAKE A KITCHEN CAB.
 NET.

Dear Cornerites. I am sending di-
 rections for making a kitchen cabinet
 Every women wants one. and all can't
 afford to buy one. I made one for my
 summer camp, a copy of my Hoo
 sief'' at home
 took an ordinary kitchen table
 3x2 feet and covered the top with
 a piece, of zine little more than half
 way back. Then I got a large box
 at the grocers 2. feet long. 2 feet wide
 and foot deep. Lined it with white
 oiscloth. after inserting shelf
 through the middle of the box
 nailed this down on it's side so it
 covered the edge of the zinc I put
 an olicloth covering on the shelf then
 painted the outside of the box light
 brown: nailed two little triangular
 pieces of wood Gas a rest for my roll
 ing pin). to the back part of the box
 inside; below this I screwed a
 fiat piece of wood, l foot by 1 inch
 wide, with round, flat piece of rub
 Der at each end between the wood and
 the box, leaving a slit of one quarter
 of an inch. just large enough to
 stick my pairing knives and butcher knives through.
 I bought; at the ten cent store glass jars a large one for coffee and small CT ones for tea, salt, pepper. baking powder. soda cinnamon and allspice, and I made little rack for these, by mailing two pieces of wood against the side of the box and long straight piece of wood across the front This held the jars in. except the one for coffee. which I kept by itself as it was larger, I put little brass hooks up. for egg beater. nutmeg -grater and potato masher.
 Then I took a wooden box. 12x1S inches knocked ont one end and fastened it to the under and right 1 side of the table.
 l found a box title smaller. put a knob on the end and partition in 1 the middle lengthwise, and put it in the larger box. for drawer Here kept my knives. forks and spoons | for the table.
 i I got two larger boxes and did the same on the other side of the small boxes so that I had two handy | drawers at the front
 l The sides and front of the boxes were painted. I kept table cloth, nap l kfns and extra towels in this drawer i This cabinet is the handiest article ina ginaible- and although rude and l rough it answers the purpose and is great help and saves lots of steps Regards to ail

 each Farmer is received it is marked, holed and fastened in place. The above merely preserves the FArmer, but make 1t the basis for keeping articles wish to re-read, not only those pub lished in the Farmer. but others found cations.
 As an illustration. turn to the issue of The Bulletin for Saturday, May zs. 1914, and of the Connecticut Farmer for the same date (the Connecticut Farmer does not make a good skeleton foundation, being too thin. and 1t cuts up much better).
 Using only one page of each Ieaf, l find page g of the Farmer has one hall page single column and one-haf page double column advertising which l can cover without losing any reading On page 14 of The Bulletin there is snort article on Planting Gladiolus. cut II out and as much of the A Bit or Pure Philosophy as will make good stub say all that about Lightning cake l, This stub Is pasted on the back and then fastened to the pag6 of the Farmer just below the picture Of the rug in the single column ad-that IS, just so the name Joseph Doe will form the edge of the bottom of the skeleton page and cover a part of, right hand column of the Farmer of the piece had been longer I should have folded the last part of it up on itself).
 Having subscribed to two of The Bulletins on purpose to cover the cut ting, now from the other copy cut out the two parts of ''Old and Young Lv- ing Together" using the margin as a stub for the last part and the last para graph of the piece about gladiolus as stub for the first part. The seconc part is fastened to the Farmer page st the letters "J F." correspond with tht bottom of the Farmer page and the stub covers the picture and upper pari of the rug ad. The first part is now fastened by it's stub just above and 1T line with the second part All the artl' cles now fastened in are in line witt and cover the right hand column of the 9th page of the Farmer. There is now a fine chance for a two column article |-before turning to page of the Farmer -or more single column articles Thus one can add to the value of any sucf paper as the Connecticut Farmer ant never destroy anything in it Of any value.
 If at any time another article or kthe topic is found I like better than tilt one pasted in, I remove the first one and substitute the other, or keep both How I am able to refer quickly to any article. in the many lap books thus formed must be told at another time Have made it plain2

stick cinnamon. Boil the sirup until the scum rises, lay in the fruit and let simmer an hour, or until they look clear, place the pickles in a jar and pour the hot sirup over them.
 Picked Cabbage off the out side leaves of the cabbage. wash. quar- ter. then halve the quarters. Let 1t soak ten or fifteen minutes. in clear water Boil 20 minutes, then place in cold vinegar, seasoned to taste with spices and a little sugar.
 A good way to keep cucuhnbers, peppers and green tomatoes: Take a good sized jar wash them all clean, place layer of salt in first then d layer of the pickles. Then another layer of salts and alternate that way until the jar is filled. Do not put m any water. as what drains off of them is sufficient to make the pickles. I have some I put down two years ago and they are in fine condition now. (When wanted soak 2i hours)

Games OF various kinds were indulg-

were served during the evening and
in this service the entertainers were

Oil Developers
Have Meeting

An informal meeting OF Montrose
and Delta men interested in local oil
prospecting, was held Tuesday after
noon at Elk's Hall.
Messrs. Galloway, Dawson, Wymer
and Warden came down from Mont
rose with a proposition to our people
to Join them in a company to sink
well to the depth of 5000 feet on lease
holdings they have taken near that
city
They represented that they had
$500 acres of oil land (as laid down
in Hayden's map) leased, and now
had $1,000 out of total Of $4,000,
which latter amount they thought
would be sufficient already sub
scribed
The Delta men present discussed the
matter at some length and finally
elected W. E. Obert, James Zaninnetti
and Lionel R. Wigram a committee
to see what could be done in further
ance of the proposition.
The general feeling was that Mont
rose ought to be able to carry out
its own project of sinking a well near
that city. and that Delta county peo-
pie should be encouraged to do a like
amount of oil prospecting nearer
home Mr.. Warden. an expert. de
clared it his opinion that there should
be no question about results in this
valley. that oil and gas could be prac-
tically guaranteed. Said that if our
people knew what he knew of the 10
cation. they would be willing to mort
gage their clothes to put down a well.

Road to Lakes
Nearly Completed

The auto road to Grand mesa lakes
lacks but two miles or less of COM
pletion. This will make, when the
road is once in good shape. one of
the finest drives anywhere to be found
in Colorado. with good fishing in the
nearly score of lakes at its terminal
in the cooling atmosphere of between
5000 and 10000 feet above sea level.
There is scarcely prettier camping
ground in the United States than
ahmong the cluster of lakes at the
summit of Grand mesa, and in these
lakes are to be found natives, rain
bow and brook trout, awaiting to be
caught
In past years hundreds of people
have braved tedious wagon trip to
these lakes in summer time, many
camping for weeks. The new auto
road will be shorter and will greatly
increase the number of visitors.

One Who Helped
Build Mesa Dead

Word has just been received in this
city that Samuel Pike. travelling sales
man for the Selz-Schwab Shoe com
pany of Chicago, who made this terri
tory for many years before retiring
from business, had died at his home
in Chicago after a few weeks serious
illness.
Mr. Pike is well known in this city
and at Hotchkiss. Many years ago he
became associated with George Duke
in the construction and maintenance
of the Overland ditch which was 20
reclaim what is now known as Payne's
mesa, one of the good farm and fruit
growing sections of Delta county. 1t
is said that Messrs. Duke and Pike
had a hard struggle in completing
their irrigation project, but it was
eventually brought into use and has
been the means of extensive agricul-
tural development n that district.
When Mr.. Pike was in Colorado on
business for his company, he always
came to this county and would spend
from two to three weeks here looking
after farm and irrigation matters in
which he was personally interested.
