window and wandered to his barn
about 7 O'Clock in the evening.
His family missed him shortly
afterwards and a search located

Christmas Dinner

The best of Christmas dinners
may be secured without two great
expense this year for simplicity and
science agree that it is useless to
stuff the diner with three or four
dishes of the same food value, ac-
cording to Miss Bah Bell of Mis-
souri, college Of agriculture. If the
dinner is to be served in the country,
homegrown fruits. vegetables, and
fowls and fresh eggs, butter, and
milk give the housewife a great
advantage, and such simple things
as buckberries from the roadside,
or a geranium from the windowsill
add to the attractiveness of the
table. A few evergreen wreaths
and some autumn leaves will help
greatly.
In order that nothing may be
forgotten, and a hig rush on
Christmas morning may be avoided,
preparation should begin several
days before Christmas. The chick
en-, turkey or goose may be dressed
and kept in cool place, crumbe
for the dressing prepared and
seasoned, lettuce washed for the
salad, and mayonnaise made ready.
Mince pies may be baked and kept
ready for reheating, cranberry jelly
be kept on hand for several days
and cakes baked and mints pre-
pared. With all these things
ready, the hostess will have much
more of the Christmas spirit. and
be able to entertain her guests
much better.
The feast is tasted with the eye
before it reaches the palate and a
very simple meal may be made de-
lieious when served on spotless
linen and well decorated table.
Flowers, ferns, large dish of fruit,
or something else Of that kind will
be available in every house. The
food itself helps to decorate the
table. The brown fowl is always
in pleasing harmony with the
green of parsley, or cress, and the
red of cranberry sauce. A great
difference in the taste of the baked
potato is made by two slashes made
10 hold butter and little parsley.
A large share of the JOY of Christ.

mings.

UNABLE ID GUST ITALIAN FORCES Austrian Troops Repulsed In Attacks On Monte
 Nero Ridge

Udine, Italy, June 4--(Via Paris, $50 D. m.)-Austrian troops have made re- peated efforts to dislodge the Italian forces which have succeeded in estab- fishing themselves on Monte Nero ridge. across the Isonzo river, along the front north of the Gulf of Triest. Advices re- ceived here today say that the Italians are still holding the ridge.
 The Italian advance across the Isonzo was in the face of unusual difficulties. Heavy rains made it impossible to ford the Isonzo except for detachments of cavalry. whose horses swan across the river. Enginers, protected by artillery, constructed pontoon bridges for the in- fantry.
 The troops once over, still greater diff faculties were encountered. The rain had transformed the mountain paths into beds of swift streams. The few mountain bridges left by the Austrians were car ried away by the floods. Rest for the troops was impossible as the rocky noun tain sides were too exposed. Thick fog hung over the whole region. Progress was slow but the invaders made their them heavy artillery. ammunition and supplies. They occupied several villages below Monte Nero and finally obtained possession of the ridge.
 Regular communication with the base
 on the right bank of the Isonzo has been maintained Monte Nero dominates the whole Friuli valley. It's possession enables the Italians to menace Tolmino
 from the rear. This town, together with the batteries recently constructed on Santa Maria and Santa Lucia hills pre- sents one of the most formidable ob- stacles to an Italian advance across the Isonzo at that point.
 Monte Nero also commands the valleys leading to the northeastern part of the Isonzo-Plezzo district. having on It's north Predil pass which, strongly fortified, pro- tects the road to Tarvis. The Italian oc- cupation of this ridge is thus connected ] with the action which. from the Racco- lana and Dogma valleys, threaten the See | bach valley leading to Predil

 To explain on paper just by what method of calculation or mechanical skill it was possible to push such tre mendous weight out into space anC connect with the solid foundation or the California side will forever remain mystery to the multitude who saw it, and the glorious fact remains that the feat is accomplished-and Yuma is justly proud.

 AS CHIEF OF POLICE

George w. Harding makes his bow to the public as candidate for the office of chief of police of the city of Yuma. MT. Harding needs no introduc- tion to the people of Yuma.

He is married, has fam fly, all of his interests are i'll Yuma, and is a competent and worthy citizen in every way. If nominated and elect ed he will make an official worthy of the name. About the worst that ever was said of George Harding is that
 he is always on the job
