BACK TO SUPERVISOR PLAN
Fries Of Howard and Korff of Cedar
Will Seek to Submit Amend
ment for Change.
BUILDING AND LOAN STOCK
lrrom a SAD CorrosnonacntN

From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Jan. 1t-(Special ITO en-
able the voters of a county to change
from the commissioner form of govern
nent to township organization by nero
majority Of the votes cast on that ques-
ton is the object of a proposed consti-
Autional amendment which Representa-
lives Fries OF Howard county and Korff
of Cedar will jointly introduce in the
legislature. A bill of the same kind was
presented two years ago, but failed to get
through.
In Cedar county the people voted last
fall on the question of changing to town
ship organization. The affirmative votes
outnumbered the negative by 900, but
he proposition lost because It did not re-
-eivS a majority of all votes cast at the
election
The constitution now provides that
change from the supervisor system Gown
ship organization to the county commits
sioner plan may be made by simple
majority vote, while If a proposition is
up to change tine other way 1t must secure
4 majority of all the votes cast at the
election.
Messrs. Fries and Korff believe it ought
to be made ~ easy to change one way
as the other.
Repairs for Bridges.
Representative Regain of Platte county
has a scheme which goes further than the
present law in regard to the building and
maintaining of bridges over streams that
form the boundary between two coun-
ties. The law now provides that the
cost of such bridges shall be borne equally
by the two counties. and that if one re-
fuses to pay its share the other may
proceed with the construction or repairs
and afterward collect from the first
county one-half of the sum expended.
The Regain measure will provide that
the cost of bridges shall be divided I'm
proportion ito the assessed valuation" of
the counties.
Building and Loan stock.
Another bill which Regain has ready to
Introduce increases the limit of stock
which may be issued by a building ana
loan association to any one member.
The present limit is 5000. Regan's bill
allows $4,000 to be issued to one person
by any concern having assets of $780, OC
to 100000; $4,000 where the assets range
from $4,000 to S1,OOO 900, and $4,000 il the
assets exceed $1,000,OO0.

WORTH WHILE RECIPES
SAVORY METHODS OF PREPARING
 VARIOUS VIANDS.
Tit-Bits to Serve With Game or Cold Meat-New Ideas for Vegetables Combinations of Cheese
 and Sweets.

Here are some worth while recipes and ways of preparing food that will give a different savor to the viands;
 Take small quantity of boiled cod, flake fine, add enough mayon- naise to make spreading paste, spread on lettuce leaf between rye slices. Salmon and tunny fish may be fixed in the same way, or instead of the may onnaise add enough catchup and sea- soning to make the paste Cold boiled lobster, cold boiled shrimp may be shredded or cut fine and prepared in the same way. Many will like them with the French dressing. however, rather than the mayonnaise.
 Game.-Minced chicken, guinea fowl or turkey are good mixed with a tiny bit of chowchow, sweet pickle. current jelly or orange marmalade, as we'll as with good mayonnaise made with mustard.
 Meats.-All cold meats, thinly sliced or minced, are acceptable with any of the dressings or lightly spreading the bread with apple sauce before lay ing on the sliced meat.
 VegetabIes.-French peas that have been stewed, mashed to a paste, sea soned to taste,- lighted with a little whipped cream and a teaspoonful of chopped ham or tongue make an ex- cellent filling. The macedoine of vege- tables, drained and finely chopped, mixed with mayonnaise is good. Grated with onion with little fine ly minced cold roast beef, pepper and salt and a few drops of mustard dress ing it is quite appetizing if one likes onion.
 Cheese and Sweets.-Combinat with cream cheese which has been softened with whipped cream are nu- merous Little finely chopped pre- served ginger and a tablespoonful of the sirup mixed to a spreading paste; pures of chestnuts mixed with the cheese, orange marmalade, bar-le-duc, little of any of the preserved fruits, or finely chopped fresh fruit may be blended with the cheese If needed, a
 
 may be used to bind the paste. A little grated cheese sprinkled on tris- cults. then placed in an oven for a minute or two to melt. with another triscuit placed on it, are frail to carry out, but very nice sandwiches.
 Pumpkin Puddine.-Into a pint of stewed pumpkin beat the whipped yolks of five eggs, two pints of milk, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar and half a teaspoonful each of powdered mace, nutmeg and cinnamon. Last of all stir in lightly the stifiiy beaten whites of five eggs, turn the mixture into a buttered pudding dish and bake until set Serve hot with hard sauce.

We keep green feed such as lettuce, mustard or tender grass before them all the time, and give them bread moistened with milk, pot cheese or wet corn meal. three times a day until they are three weeks old After this we give them good feed of wet corn meal every night and morning and all the green feed they will eat until they are about seven weeks old.

What Any Cook Knows.

Never throw away cake. no matter how dry-but the next time you bake a custard slice it on top before putting into the oven This makes delicious caramel crust.
 To remove fruit stains from table cloths and serviettes apply powdered starch to the stained parts, and leave for several hours till all the discolora- tion has been absorbed by the starch
 Always put scrubbing brushes to dry with bristles face downward. This lengthens their lives considerably. as if dried the other way the moisture naturally soaks into the wood and rots the bristles.
