Took a Sudden Drop

Referring at recent dinner to the
occasional collapse Of fond opinions,
Congressman Arthur B. Rouse of
Kentucky, told of Cousin Hiram's visit
to a prominent astronomer.
Cousin Hiram had heard of the
wonders of the telescope, and wishing
to see through one, he called on the
astronomer to that end.
"They say" said he to the astrono-
mer, "that ye kin see the moon through
that telescope o. yourn. Would ye
mind givin ME a look.
Nothing would give me greater
pleasure" was the response of the
astronomer. "tCome around tonight
at any time after eight o'clock"
"Ternight!" wonderingly responded
Cousin Hiram. Whats the matter
with lookin' at 1t now?"
"That's impossible smiled the as
tronomer "You wouldn't be able to
see 1t in the daytime"
"That's jest what thought" re-
marked Cousin Hiram, turning away.
"When night comes kin see the moon
without telescope"

cover tightly and leave until next
morning, when remove cans to cool,
dark place, where they will keep per-
fectly and have the flavor and color
of fresh berries for shortcake or to
use as fruit in any way.
Canning Fruit-Housekeepers who
have not been successful in their at
tempts at this work will find the fol-
lowing a most excellent recipe: Place
the fruit in granite, iron or porcelain
kettle; never use common iron, brass
or tin for this purpose. Let it boil
about five minutes. Have the jars in
readiness and standing in a vessel of
warm water, so they may be heated
gradually. Just before filling the jar
with fruit, dip a towel in boiling
water and wrap it around the jar,
and tuck the corners under the bot
tom for the jar to rest upon. Fill
the jar quickly; when full, thrust a
knife to the bottom and stir it around
several times, and the air bubbles
will rise to the top. Seal as tight as
possible, and stand the jar upside
down in c moderately cool place. In
a few hours turn the jar up and try
to seat it tighter, standing it again
upside down. Continue this several
times, or until the cover is tightly
screwed on. Stand the jars in a
cool, dark place in the cellar, looking
at them occasionally for few days.

THE TABLE.

Mustard Dressing for Roasts-
Heat vinegar to which has been add
ed a finely chopped or grated onion,
to the boiling point, then mix with
dry mustard in the usual manner,
adding teaspoon of granulated sug-
ar. This preparation will keep for
several days, but if you wish to make
quantity to keep, as any prepared
mustard, strain vinegar through a
strainer or piece of cheeseclotll, tax
ing out the onions. The mixture will
still have the onion flavor and will
keep indefinitely, since the onions
themselves are the only part of the
combination which will spoil.

THAT HE LEFT MONEY
 ALL IN THE STATE
Probable Defense of Morris, Charged
 with Defrauding Creditors

The trial of George Morris. alleged to have removed property out of the state to defraud creditors, was begun in the superior court yester- day, County Attorney Clyde Candy and Assistant Attorney Leon s. Ja- cobs. representing the state and A :. Hawkins and George r. Stovall the defendant
 What the state hopes to prove was covered in the county attorneys opening statement He said that hy the evidence he would endeavOr to show that the defendant was en- gagged in building houses in district G. Morris he said, had a partner. but all the business was conducted by tEe defendant. They had com pleted one school building and settled all the business and the secohd, while completed. Morris and his partner owed vAious amounts for building materials to different concerns. one of which was the J. D. Halstead Lumber company for nearly S2.000. and another the Valley Hardware company for S200 or $500. Some time about June the defendant was es- peciaIly keen about closing the af fairs and making a settlement with
 
 Lescher to hurry his final inspecting, and. though the architect generally has charge of the settlement. Morris l looked after this end, said the county attorney On the eighth of June the defendant went to F. A James of the 1 Valley Hardware company and said he had to have a receipt in full to take to the school board and he would come bcak and settle. He I went to the Halstead company with ! the same proposition. Morris then | told Mir Lescher he had arranged ' with the school board and made final i adjustments He received vouchers ] from the board. one for S1.915 and | the other for SSI, and went to J. A.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
sALE oE CENTRAL SCHOOL BLOCK

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir: From the tone of your recent editorial I gather that you oppose the adoption of the proposed plan to give to our school trustees the permission to sell the Central school block at the minimum figure of S2O000O.
 It seems to me, that considered from almost every viewpoint the proposed plan is good public policy.
 In the first place, your main reason for opposing the plan seems to be that the Civic Center idea would then not bc possible to carry out which is not the case. The city and county would have the same opportunity to buy from the trustees as anyone else, probably a better chance. for it is certain that the trustees would give preference to the city and county if they desired to buy
 However. the block was offered to the city and county about four years ago and no steps were taken by them to purchase. as it was early seen that it would be impossible to carry out the plan. chiefly because the people of the county would not favor the idea be- cause of the great cost of the proposed
 plan.
 We are now confronted with the necessity of raising more money for a new school house to take the place of
 the Central school which has been con- demned. In their present mood, with the present high taxes staring them in
 the face. it is certain that the taXpay- CTS will not vote more bonds. But il is very probable that those bonds would be voted if there was some as suranCe that the idle. unprOductive property owned by the district would he disposed of and the funds used tC offset the bonds. Or if the property | would be sold for cash. no bonds would | need to be voted. The postponement oi ] the issue simply means that the dis | trict shall hold the property without i income until such time as the county | and city want it and that time may
 never come
 l The permission to sell has been ob- l iected to also because of lhe mentioned 1 price, $20O GOO. II must be borne il ! mind that this is minimum price afC surely our trustees will get hiehes l figures obtainable. If the block hat been sold at S2O0,O0O five years az,
 the school district would have today ] been richer Dy S50. 900 for the interes

on the amount added to the taxes that would have been received would equal S50,O00. In other words, now is as good a. price as S250,0O0 five years hence. l understand that the trustees eX- pect to sell only $1OO.0O0 worth of the lots at the present time, as that is all the money they need. Just as soon as the property is improved by building. just as soon will the rest become more valuable. It certainly can not become very much more valuable as vacant ground
 For thesc reasons I think there should he no doubt of the wisdom of permitting the trustees to ask for bids on the property The matter should be decided now. If we are to have d civic center on the property, let's do it now. But in no event should the property be left idle and unproductive any longer while the taxpayers foot the bill.
