Then put through a po- tato ricer, add two tablespoonfuls of butter, salt to taste, a dash of tobas- co or any very hot sauce, and a pinch of thyme is beaten into the pulp. If too stiff, lnofsten with beaten egg, Form the mixture into small sausage shapes, dip in beaten egg and flour and fry until a nice brown onrall sides.

HELPFUL wRINKLEs

J
 Editor of The Social Corner: I see by last weeks Bulletin Brown Bee is having trouble with covered buttons on her white skirt. I will send her and the other Sisters a little wrin- lIe that I have originated: When cow ering them make a small loop on the under side and pin them on with small safety pins; if soiled. clean with gasoline; this makes 1t easy to re- move them when the skirt is washed, and to replace them later.
 This is also a nice way to use the old fashioned pearl buttons that have shank
 Also another little wrinkle I have found is, if the knob comes off tea- kettle cover or other article, replace it with q white picture knob fastened on the. under side with good sized cork, or better still, use the cork on the upper side fastened with large screw eye. The cork will last longer and never get hot, but it doesn't lool quite as well.

OLD FASHIONED INDIAN MEAL
 DuMPLINos.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It does not look as if we could set out our house plants preparatory for the spring cleaning with such cold nights. But everything comes to those who wait.
 Hopeful wished for a recipe for old fashioned Indian meal dunplings such ac grandmother used to make. How well remember them. I used to go with my father-to visit his people, who were Rhode Island people, and how I enjoyed what they called butchering time Grandmother would make those dumplings to go with the pigs liver pluck as they called it-with plenty of good gravy to cover them. They looked like a plate of snowballs, for you could not get Rhode Islander to use yellow meal--horse meal, they call ca that. They always grew white corn for table use, and no one can beat the women of Little Rhody for good things to eat especially Indian meal dump lings and johnny cakes. They never would think of making a soup without them. I send my recipe:
 Indian Meal Dumplings-Two cups neal salt one-half teaspoon soda have water boiling; wet the meal thoroughly: have 1t thick enough when cool to ball up, after dipping the hands in cold water to keep from sticking have them the size of a large egg and boil them 20 minutes with cover to kettle left a little to one side. If COW cred close. will crack open. The water must be boiling when dumplings are dropped In.
 make my johnny cakes the same way only thin them down to a batter with milk, which makes them nice and brown: bake them upon top of stove
 J think I should have taken some meal along and made some upon thai new gas stove at the hall on Valley street Wednesday, and let the Sisters see how good they are.
 If you try them, Hopeful, let m, lxn0w If you had good luck. and how you like them.

Japan is becoming interested in sheep raising. The imperial stock farm at Hokakaido has purchased an- imals in Australia

A CHANGE FOR PIN MONEY.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I read your letters with interest week by week so thought I would add my mite.
 pennies lie around you in the shape of old papers and magazines which bring good price now, if sold to the rag man. Look up in your attic, and if you find papers which have accu- mulater for years, as I did, you will realize quite little pin money if sold at once. Old books will also be taken if the covers are removed. As this is the housekeeping season it is well to get rid of these old things and make room for later ones
 Best wishes for all the Sisters.

Work of County Agriculturist

A considerable portion of last week
was spent outside of the county. Cow
Testing Association affairs and con-
ference Of County Agents at East
Lansing occupied the first three days.
The two main subjects discussed were
Marketing" and Farmers Institutes" F"
While there the agents had the privi-
lege of hearing lectures on the selling
of farm products by DR.. Canoe of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College
and Mr.. Bassett of the United States
Department of Agriculture. That this
question is rapidly coming to be an
important one in county agent work
was realized by all who took part in
the discussion, and the need of CO.
operative organization, together with
the improvement of quality, was es-
pecially emphasized by the lecturers.
While at the College arrangements
were also made with field agents for
further demonstrations in the county.
e. B. Cook, Assistant State Leader, is
with us the present week assisting
with drainage problems. During the
week beginning with July 18th, Mr., j.
II. Carmody will give some thinning
and spraying demonstrations.
{. w. Waid, Extension Potato Spec
ialist, will be here about the middle Of
August to assist with the potato in
spection.
During the early part of September
Mr.. q. L. Reed will work in st. Clair
county taking a farm management
survey. This work is being done in
answer to a number Of requests for as
sistance in the analysis Of the farm
business, and 1t is expected that IL will
point out the main lines along which
the county agent should direct his
efforts.
While at East Lansing, too, the mat
ter of securing man TO take Mr..
Hale's place as tester for the Cow Test
ing Association was given attention,
and Mr.. Wesley MoultOn of Glen Ellyn
Illinois, has been hired for the remain
der of the year. Mr.. Moulton is a
graduate of the Missouri Agricultural
College, which has one of the best
courses in dairying In the United States
and 1t is felt that we are especially for
tunate in obtaining a man OF this
calibre for the work.

YALE WINS GAME
Tuesday Was Ideal for Game and
Contest Was Exciting.

Both the weather man and luck were
on the side of the Yale Boosters last
Tuesday p. m. and they were able to
snatch victory from the fast playing
Anker- Holth team from the Tunnel
city. The ideal weather and the big
picnic were instrumental in bringing
one Of the largest crowds that ever at
tended base ball game at City park,
and the teams were appreciative enough
to treat the spectators to hard fought
contest. The score was by no means
small, yet it was kept so close that 1t
was nobody's game till the winning
run was made by Yale in the last half
of the ninth.
The way the visiting team started
out in the first ii sure looked as though
the Boosters had run up against snag.
But this feeling was only short lived,
for in their half Of the same frame our
boys came back and went the visitors
a few better. The fray closely resem-
bled the battle of Verdun in many re-
spects. Both armies" claimed the
victory, and it was too bad that both
teams couldn't win. The score was
tied number of times, and lovers of
the game were on the anxious seat
from start to finish.
Enright and Goshneck were the bat.
terry for the visitors and they received
excellent support from their team
mates. Hallman, Johnston and Allen
attended to the mound work for the
Boosters and the trio did very well,
thank you, The entire team played
real fast base ball.
The game was finished early in the
last half of the ninth when Yale got a
run, the score being 9 toS.

Daykin Sells Stock to Cooper

Glenn Daykin, who purchased the j.
M. Smith stock of general merchandise
in the Masonic block, corner Main and
North streets last October, sold to
Emerson Cooper, of Richmond, this
week, but Mr.. Cooper will not take
possession for two weeks, as he is now
temporary manager of the Richmond
Supply Co.'s store.
Mr.. Daykin during his short stay in
Yale has made many warm friends
through his thorough business princi.
Piles, courteous treatment, square deal
Ing and congenial disposition. He has
commanded large trade which Mr..
Cooper will no doubt hold for Emerson
has wide acquaintance in and around
Yale, having made his home here for
many years.
While we regret to lose Mr.. Daykin
from the business and social life of
Yale IL is our earnest wish that he
prospers wherever he may locate. We
understand that for time at least he
will look after his farm near Jonesville
