INDEPENDENCE DAY HINT.
The Housewife by Careful Planning
May Find Her Day Free From Care.

The Housewife by Careful Planning
May Find Her Day Free From Care.
1t is often true that holidays for the
family in general are not at all holi-
days for the housekeeper 10 much
food to cook, so many dishes to wash,
extra work at all times. But every
housekeeper can make the glorious
Fourth a true Independence day, free
from work and worry. even If she has
a number of guests.
Make the cleaning as easy as posi-
Bile and do 1t several days In advance,
so that the rooms need only the very
slightest brushup the day before the
holiday. Plan your menu for the six
or more meals of the week end and
market for them In the middle of the
week before the stores are crowded,
when you will get better service and
materials. AS II Is likely to be typ
ical scorching" weather, your menu
might be almost cold.
A meat loaf, a fresh ham, a veal or
chicken aspic can be made two days
In advance and should serve two meals
or more. A quart OF boiled mayor
naise and cake made either In a loaf
or in small shapes will also serve for
double meals, different vegetables be-
ing used on different days and the
same cake being iced differently. All
Of the desserts of the Bavarian cream
type a be made In advance and left
on ice until needed. A quantity Of
lemonade strip and cocoa strip can be
prepared so hat an instant beverage
will be at hand.
A dozen hard boiled eggs can be used
cold with potato salad or in delicious
supper dishes in combination with
cheese and toast. If there are many
guests 1t is really only fair to have
each make his own bed and leave his
bedroom in order, and If they are In
formal guests none of them should
mind giving a "helping hand"
Elaborate service is not necessary,
and the simpler the table the more at
tractive it may be made. Perhaps
many meals can be eaten outdoors In
true ''picnic" fashion. If almost all the
cooking is done beforehand, as suggest
ed, and paper plates and dishes used
for at least some meals the dishwash-
ing problem should hold no terrors.
1t is much better to really enter into
the spirit of a holiday than 1t is to
have everything In the house so Inn
maculately clean that much of your
time Is taken away from your guests
on the day itself. Mothers too seldom
enter into the fun of things, they are
so often wondering whether this or
that is fright" But a holiday Is just
the time to develop "chumship" with
sons who are perhaps beginning to
feel that mother doesn't know any
thing except housekeeping or with 9th
er young people TO whom you may
serve as a stimulus II you only stop
thinking OF homework and such things
long enough to enter into their play
and plans.

Chautauqua Week

The Meadville chautauqua has
been drawing the usual large crowd
since the opening last Saturday
Sunday was big day in point of

tend are thoroughly satisfied and
enjoy the splendid program. For

days, the Chicago male quartette

at the Meadville chautauqua.

An AlL-Day Meeting

The Willing Workers of the
Christian church held an all day
meeting with Mrs. W. E. Randall
on Thursday of last week, the
gathering being in honor of Mr..
and Mrs. Polly who are shortly to
leave for California. All brought
we'll filled baskets and sumptuous
dinner was served and everyone
had good time. But this did not
seem to satisfy the church assocl-
ates of Mr.. and Mrs. Polly as it
was not surprise, so they decided
to go to the Polly home that even
ing and hold sort of farewell
social. About thirty, all that
could be notified in so short time
responded, bringing ice cream and
cake, and it proved to be a COM
plete surprise, and a delightful
evening was spent. Mr.. and Mrs,
Polly are good entertainers and
with songs from the Smith Sisters
and a reading by Gladys Boomer
the evening was very much enjoyed
by all. Mr., and Mrs. Polly have
been active in church work and the
membership will feel a great loss
when they depart for their new
home.

A ROYAL Neighbor Surprise

The Royal Neighbors of Laclede
camp, with number of invited
guests, very pleasantly surprised
Miss Daisy Rankin at high noon on
Friday of last week. The plans
were we'll laid and the surprise
most complete. The company met
at the home of Mrs. A. j. Caywood
and from there, with baskets filled
with the best eatables of the land,
marched to the Rankin home, took
possession of the house and began
to arrange the rooms to suit them
selves. The kitchen and dining
room being well supplied with good
things taken from the baskets a
splendid cafeteria dinner was
served. About fifty members and
friends of the order and of the
family were present.
One of the pleasant features of
the afternoon was a shower on
Mrs. Anna Farrar, the latest and
last member of the order to annex
Mrs. to her name.
Miss Daisy Rankin is one Of La
clede's most pleasant and capable
young ladies, a teacher of enviable
reputation. Having graduated
from the Laclede school, and begun
her school work here, she taught
for number of years in Brookfeld
and now is principal of one of the
schools at Carthage, Mo.

The car of oil ordered for Laclede
streets arrived on Friday night of
last week. About a fourth of it
was distributed Saturday; the rain
delayed the work Monday but was
resumed Tuesday and completed
Wednesday noon. The 7,70O gal
Ions cover a little over a mile and
a half Of street, taking in the main
parts of town and as far out as the
cemetery. The good effects of the
oil was noticeable after the heavy
rain Monday upon the streets where
it had been applied Saturday. 1t
shed the water like a ducks back
and the oiled part of the street was
hard and dry while on the streets not
treated the mud was several inches
deep. The result of the oiling will
be watched with interest as it is
something new here. The com
mittee composed of Mayor John
ston, II. W. Lomax and NJ. P.
Benson, not only superintended
the work, but devoted their time to
it and did much of the actual work.
No committee could have done
better and they are certainly en-
titled to rich commendation from
every citizen of the town.
