MANY USES FOR LEMONS.


AS it is said that "our blessings
IA brighten as they disappear" we
had best enjoy lemon dishes
while there are still plenty, for, owing
to the war, our prodigal supply may
be somewhat diminished. Lemon pie.
always Il favorite, is fairly good at all
places where it is served, and most at
home cooks have their own special
ways of making 1t. Here is recipe
from Baltimore which is a veritable
lemon dream; but, like other good
things, it calls for the best ingredients:
Lemon Pie.
Line the pie dish deep with good pun
paste. Beat the yolks Of three eggs
with one cupful Of sugar and add the
juice Of one large lemon and little Of
the grated peel. Don't fail to wash
the lemon before grating. TO one tn
bespOonful Of flour add one cupful Of
light cream. Mix as smooth as posi-
bic and then strain into the other in
gradients; mix and turn into the crust.
Bake the pie I'm a moderate oven thirty
minutes. Beat the whites stiff with
about four heaping teaspoonfuls OF
powdered sugar and spread the me-
ringue on plain, or through a pastry
bag return TO the oven for a couple OF
minutes to brown. watching It careful
ly so it does not scorch.
Lemon sherbet.
Take the Juice of two large lemons
and a pound of sugar; warm enough
to melt the sugar. then put into the
freezer and freeze ten minutes. Add
n quart Of rich milk or part cream and
milk. n little of the grated peel and
the white Of one egg stifiy beaten with
teaspoonful OF sugar. Freeze until a
Rttle bit sitter than mousse. Serve
with macaroons. and put a green cher
~ on top Of each portion. with just a
sprinkllng Of powdered macaroon.
Lemon Pudding.
To one pint Of bread crumbs add the
juice and grated rlnd Of lemon: add
cupfu Of sugar and the yolks OF
three eggs beaten I'm q quart Of good
milk. When baked cover with layer
Of lemon or wine jelly. then add the
meringue made OF the whites beaten
with three teaspoonfus OF powdered
sugar: lightly brown in the oven This
may be eaten warm. but IS very good
chilled. Whipped cream may be served
with 1t or not as preferred.

formation of the measure, prin-
ciple or proposition to be voted
upon.
Plaintiffs further complain and
say that they are informed and
believe that it is the intention of
the board of directors to locate
said High School at Grantsville,
with the intention of makins
said school a local one, to be used
for the sole and exclusive benefit
of persons living in and near
Grantsville at the expense of the
whole county.
While many of the reasons for
the injunction are undoubtedly
flimsy, it possible that there will
be sufficient errors found in the
act creating the high school and
in the procedure of the County
Court to cause the injunction to
be perpetuated. While the mat
ter is before the count and until
some final judgment is rendered
it would be improper and unbe-
coming for the Chronicle to give
any opinion upon the merits of
the case.
Whether or not the board will
ask for a hearing before the
August term of court has not
been decided, but it is probable
that the matter will go over un-
til then. At any rate the levy
for this year will not be laid and
the erection of the High School
will have to be postponed for an
other year at least.

SpeakeaSieS Said 10 be Running

Word was received here the
latter part of last week that sew
eral speakeasies were being op-
Grated in the southeastern part
OF the county, near the BraXton
and Gilmer lines where the mills
Of the Interstate Cooperage Co.
are running. 1t is reported that
whiskey is being illicitly sold and
that the vendors are not taking
much pains to conceal their bust
ness.
Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue G. Warren Hays, of
Parkersburg. accompanied by
TWO deputy marshals, went into
that section the latter part of
last week to endeavor to capture
the lawbreakers, but we have
not yet heard what success
crowned their efforts. Because
the illicit retailers have no gov
eminent license their acts are
violations of the federal law. and
1T will likely go hard with them
If they are caught.

Harry Thaw is Free at Last

New York, July 16. Harry
X. Thaw, adjudged sane last
Wednesday by a jury, was given
his freedom today by supreme
court Justice Peter A. Hendrick,
who announced that he adopted
the jury's verdict.
The state immediately served
notice of appeal and Justice Hen
drick' fixed Thaw's bail at $35. :
900 to insure his presence at fu-
ture proceedings. A surety COM
pany was prepared to give bond
and ThaW was taken from the
court house to the judges cham
Der so that details might be ar
ranged.
A crowd that numbered thous-
andS lined the sidewalks and
overlooked into the streets around
the court house steps.
In announcing his decision
Justice Hendrick took occasion
to comment unfavorably on the
action of alienists who have as
sisted the state in preparing the
case and then appeared as ex-
pert witnesses in court.
i have reached a decision in
this case" Justice Heedrick
said, and it is based on my own
mind, fortified by the action Of
the jury"
Thaw, sitting comfortably in
his char, his counsel on each
side, showed his pleasure and
anticipated the courts decision
with broad smile.
Atlantic City, N. j., July &c.
Harry Thaw who was given his
freedom today in New York ar
rived here by auto shortly before
midnight. Before leaving the
Metropolis Thaw had announced
that he intended to motor to
Philadelphia and go from there
by train to Pittsburgh, but, out
side of Newark, he changed his
mind and came here by way of
Lakewood. He registered at a
Beach Front hotel and refused to
be interviewed.

EARTH ROADS.

The earth roads are important
channels for the commerce OF the
country. are large factors In the
social and church life of rural
communities and are of vital
Importance to the present rural
educational interests and the fu-
ture industrial developments OF
agriculture. The very life, credit
and prosperity of our country re-
quire that the rural community
shall have the highest possible
development, and the quality OF
the road from the farm to the
village and the town may aid or
retard this development. On one
hand, the earth roads should not
be improved at such expense
that the cost will be a real bur-
den upon the community. and, on
the other hand, the roads must
not be so poor as to be a bar to
the highest reasonable develop
ment Of the community. In near
ly every case the earth roads can
be greatly improved without APP
preciable expense and with much
advantage To- the local commu-
nifty and to the entire country

Willie Bell Made Lucky Decision

There are those among us here
in Spencer who believe sincerely
In premonition. To such the fol-
lowing will strongly appeal.
There was a severe storm Wis
iting the Middle West Thursday
of last week, centering about
Cincinnati, where more than
thirty people lost their lives and
much damage was done to prop
erty. Among the missing were
six members of the crew of the
tow boat Convoy, which was
sunk by being driven against a
pier.
MY son is an employee on the
Convoy" said Attorney S. P.
Bell Saturday. Last Monday
he said he was not feeling any
too well and he decided to stay
at home for the week and next
week to go over into Calhoun
county on a visit. He probably
owes his life to this decision.
1t is not necessary to say that
the father is proud of the sons
