ROBBERS LOOT
HARVARD SAFE
SAFE IN POSTOFFICE RIFLED AND
5000 IN CASH AND STAMPS
TAKEN
Occurred Early This M0rning-Safe
Was Unlocked And Was an
Easy Haul

| Robbers entered the postoffice at
Harvard this morning and secured
about 5000 in cash and stamps, ac-
cording to a report sent to the sheriffs
office this morning and later verified
in telephone conversation with For
rest Smith, postmaster at that place.
"The robbery occurred, l believe,
sometime between 1 and o'clock" Mr..
Smith said, giving his account to a
Star-Mirror reporter. Il have Nc
clue, and there is no one whom l sus-
pect, but it is reported that two men
who were seen here yesterday after
noon have disappeared this morning.
"The safe was not blown. The rob
bers simply entered the store with a
pass key and went into the safe, which
was unlocked. No force or violence
was necessary in making an entrance
to the safe. Evidently the robbers
locked the door after them with their
pass key, as this morning I found all
the doors of the store locked.
Some canned goods were taken
from the grocery stock in the store
where the postoffice is located, but
how much is not known. Otherwise
the robbers did no damage to the goods
in the store
Absolutely no trace or clue Of the
robbers is to be found here. The men
who were reported lettering about
town yesterday did not come near the
store, and l did not see them my

Appetitizing Dishes

The sweet potato, owing to the
large amount of starch and sugar it
contains possesses higher food va
lue than the white potato, and it
would seem at the present prices
that the sweet potato costs less. For
the stuffed sweet potato select short,
thick potatoes and parboil Is min
utes. Peel them, cut slice from
the top and remove the centers with
a sharp knife or apple corer. If the
POTATOES are large a half one will be
sufficient for one serving. Moisten a
pint of bread crumbs with cream or
milk; add a half teaspoonful each of
cloves, nutmeg and paprika, two fine
ly chopped, hard-cooked eggs, two
raw egg yolks and four tablespoon
fuls Of ham, finely chopped. This will
fill six ordinary sized potatoes. Sim
mer in a cream sauce for half an
hour or until the potatoes are tender.
Fruit Salad.-Cut a grapefruit
into quarters and remove the pulp
so as to leave the outside in shape for
serving. Mix one cupful each of
grapefruit, diced pineapple, broken
pecan meats and quartered marsh
mallow with mayonnaise, dilute with
whipped cream or beaten egg white.
Chill. Line the sections of the
grapefruit with lettuce leaves and
fill with the mixture. Garnish with
mayonnaise and candied cherries.
Feather Cake-Cream a quarter Of
cupful of butter flour tablespoon
fuls), gradually add one cupful of
sugar, half a cupful of milk, and one
and one-half cupfuls of flour, sifted
NIL ft,lr 60 olr
der; fold in the stiffly beaten whites
of two eggs and add a quarter OF
tcaspourful of vanilla. Bake 40
minutes in q moderate oven. Cover
with white frosting.
Green Peppers Stuffed With CauIi-
ficwer.- Cut a thin slice from the
stem end of large green pepper and
remove the seeds. Parboil ten min
utes and fill with creamed cauliflow-
er. Sprinkle with buttered crumbs
and bake until the pepper skins are
tender, basting with butter and wa
ter.
Apple Cornstarch.-Pare and core
half dozen apples and boil until
tender in a quart of water with a
half cupful of sugar. Strain into
this the juice of half lemon. Be-
fore the apples lose their shape, but
are cooked, lift them from the juice
and place them on a dish in which
they are to be served. Boil down the
strip which is left to half its guam
tity and thicken with a tablespoon
ful Of cornssarch moistened with a
little cold water Allow this TO cook
clear and after removing from the
fire add a teaspoonful of almond ex-
tract and pour over the apples.

WAYS With Honey

One of the advantages in the use
of honey, which is most valuable, is
that cakes made with it will keep
much longer without drying out than
cake made with butter and honey will
keep until the butter grows rancid.
Cakes made with no butter will keep
fresh for months.
The extracted honey which is now
so common on the market is reason
abbey sure to be free from adultera-
ton, as legislation has made it both
dangerous and improbable to adul-
terate it.
Nut Honey Cake.-Mix together
two cupful each of brown sugar and
honey, the yolks of six eggs and beat
thoroughly. Sift together three cup
fuls of flour, one-half teaspoonful of
cloves, three of cinnamon, a half tea
spoonful of nutmeg, and the same of
allspice, a half teaspoonful of salt and
one and half teaspoonfuls Of soda.
Combine all the ingredients; beat
well, then add one cupful of chopped
raisins, a half-ounce of citron, cut in
small pieces; half-ounce of candied
orange peel and a half-pound of al
monds, coarsely chopped. Fold in the
whites of the eggs beaten stiff. Pour
the cake mixture into tins to the
depth of an half inch and bake in
slow oven for half an hour.
Hard Honey Cake.-Take three
fourths of a cupful of honey, half
cupful of sugar, two and one-half
cupfuls of -four, one egg, fourth of
a teaspoonful of ginger and a half
teaspoonful of cinnamon, speck of
white pepper, pinch of salt, half
teaspoonful of soda and tablespoon
full of water, teaspoonful of CHINA
mon, Tablespoonful of ground
cardamon seed and two ounces of al
monds, blanched and chopped. Sift
the dry ingredients, beat the egg and

"That was a fox fur robe worth
$1,000" continued Sheldon. II left

Sympathetic clerks took down de-

soon two detectives were on the trail.
Sheldon still stood by the desk, urg-

carrying in her arms a robe.
