JNO. p. GORDON CANDI-
DATE FOR REELECTION
His Record Unsurpassed. Should
be Nominated Without OPP
position.


Word has come to Lexington
that John P. Gordon, who has
been talked of quite a little over
the State as a probable candi-
date for Governor in 1916, will
not be a candidate for that office
but has decided to be candidate
for reelection to the Office of
State Auditor.
The people all over the State
should be glad to know of this
decision. The administration of
JnO. P. Gordon as Auditor OF this
State probably has never been
equalled by any former Auditor
and certainly has never been sur
passed. He has been constantly
on the Job, looking after the in
terests of the people. The State
Auditors office is one of the
most important office in the State
to the tax payers; it is the fl
Rancial Office where the collection
and disbursement of public
funds is looked after. During
the six years he has held that of
flee, every account has been care
fully scrutinized and nothing
gets by the watchful eye of this
Splendid Watchdog of the Treas
ury, During the time he has
been in Office he has refused the
payment Of illegal and padded
expense accounts of more than
$5O,000.00. This amount he
has saved to the taxpayers of
the State. He is the State Off
cial, who led the fight in 1909,
against Hadley's effort to raise
taxes of the State, by which act
the farmers of Missouri certainly
owe Gordon a debt Of gratitude.
K Hadley's tax propaganda had
gone through, it would have cost
the tax payers of this State hun
dreds of thousands of dollars
every year. There is no way of
measuring the amount that has
been saved 10 the people Of Mis-
'Cuu 10y Gordon'5 stand against
an increase In taxes. H. the col
lection Of Collateral Inheritance
Tax, he has saved over $750,00O
since he has been in office more
than his predecessor, in the same
length of time.
For the many fearless and
victorious fights he has waged in
the interest of all the people of
this State, John Gordon should
be re-nominated and doubtless
will be, without opposition, and
will be triumphantly elected in
the November election. He is
probably one of the best cam
paigners in the State, and will
add great strength to the ticket.
He is in the prime of life, and we
believe there is no man in Mis-
souri, who could fill the office as
acceptably to the people as he.

Preserving Peaches.

To remove the skin easily, place them
in wire basket and plunge for mo-
menr into boiling lye. The lye is made
by adding two cups of wood ashes to
four quarts of water. After they have
been dipped in this. rinse the fruit
several times in cold water and the
skin will rub off, leaving a smooth
surface.
Cut each peach in two and place
again in cold water until ready to use.
Place in a porcelain-lined kettle
three ee-quarters the weight of sugar you
have of fruit. Add enough water to
dissolve the sugar and let boil a min
ute, taking off any scum that rises.
Then add as much fruit as will float
without crowding and let it cook until
it is transparent. but not until it loses
shape.
Remove each piece as soon as it is
cooked. When ready to fill the jars,
place them together with their tops in
a pan of boiling water. If any of the
fruit has become cool, dip it again in
the hot syrup before putting into the
jars.
Add enough sirup to fill them to over
flowing and adjust the top on each jar
soon as it is filled.
If the peaches are put up in tins, a
quarter of pound of sugar to pound
of fruit is the rule, and the easier
method is to cook them in the cans.
Pack the cans with fruit, cover with
syrup ana pldce tnem IN a boiler, half
covering them with water Raise them
off the bottom by standing them on
muffin rings or wood; cover the boiler
and let them cook. When the fruit
falls in the boiling, be sure and keep
the jars well filled with syrup.
For brandying, cook the fruit as di-
rected for preserving, splitting the
peaches and figs or not. as desired. Fill
the jars with the cooked fruit: boil
down the syrup until very thick and
fo ,of, IL
brandy. Pour it over the fruit and
seal.

Household Hints.

To make apples tender and give
them a better flavor. add a pinch OF
salt when cooking them.
To preserve meat on warm days
wash it over with water containing
9 little vinegar-a very weak solution
and then cover with slices of raw
onion. Before cooking remove the
onion and rinse the meat in clear, cold
water.
To make an ideal bread pudding line
the dish or tin with thin paste, put in
the bread pudding, then cover with
paste and bake in a slow oven This
is a great improvement over the usual
way.
To clean wire screens dampen cotton
cloth with kerosene and rub both
sides. This also preserves the wire
and keeps the flies away, as they dc
not like the odor.
To prevent dark ring appearing
around the yolls Of hard boiled eggs
plunge them into cold water as soon
as they are boiled enough.

BLOOMING PLANTS
AS CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Late in September is the time to start
the bulbs for the plants YOU want to
bloom TO-. Christmas gifts, especially
hyacinths, narcissi ard lilies. No plants
are sure- 20 bloom in amateur hands
and under very ordirar: conditions In
no other line OF Horticulture caa so
at SO small an outlay of time and
money.
1t is true economy to buy the best
for the house. They are easily brought
into flower for Christmas if potted late
in September or early in October.
The Potted Hyacinth.
Hyacinths, on account of their ex-
tremely simple culture and certainty
to bloom, are extremely satisfactory
for house culture. A four-inch pot
serves for Il large sized bulb, if not
permitted to dry out Two strong bulbs
may be planted in five-inch pot and
three in a siN-inch size. If you do not
group bulbs of q single color, select
the different colo-s with an eye to har-
mony. if You would have fine effects.
Roman hyacinths are probably the
most popular for blooming in the
home.
Any garden soil, with one-fourth OF
coarse sand added will grow good hya-
cinths, but the best soil is fibrous
loan, with the addition of one-fourth
of coarse sand. Add no manure, as it
tends to decay the bulb When only
heavy, sticky soil is availa BILE, tighten
it by adding onc-third of coarse sand
and some florists moss (Sphagnum)
rubbed fine. Rotted sod, with sand
added, is excellent-it makes soil like
that OF Holland, where the finest bulbs
are produced.

Baked Stuffed Tomatoes.

and generally we'll liked.
