LEMON ICE

Lemon ice is much better when sweetened with sugar syrup. A very practical way in preparing ices is to make a syrup of 32 degrees. Add enough juice to dilute it to 20 degrees. Freeze and pack in salt and ice. Ices do not freeze as hard as creams.
 If one does not wish to prepare the syrup, the following recipe may be used:
 Add three cups of sugar to one quart of water. Boil ten minutes and add the juice of five lemons and two oranges.

6SSonUlaI UnaC we advance.
As | said we are citizens of the
same county, therefore our aim
should be one, viz, the better
ment of our county. l am proud
of our county. 1t has a greatfu
ture, there are wonderful means
of development at our door,
| am proud of our force of teach
ers, they are recognized as men
and women of ability all over
the state. l am proud of every
farmer who has made two blades
of grass, two stalks of corn grow
where one did. am proud Of
the fact that our mountain
streams which finally flow into
the great rivers contribute to the
commerce of the world. am
proud of every thing that is pro-
duced by our citizens which con-
tributes toward the happiness of
mankind. Then how can we bet
ter our county? First, we must
recognize that farming is the
hope of our county and build our
superstructure upon this. Inten-
siye not extensive farming must
be resorted to modern applicat-
ions should be applied. Farmers
Institutes should be attended.
Exhibits should be made at coun-
ty and state fairs. Fruit grow
ing and stock raising should COM
mand greater attention. We
have an ideal location for both.
Means of preserving the native
fertility of the soil, and putting
Z
more on the soil every year than
is taken off should receive up
most attention.
Secondly, our schools must be
built up. We must have longer
terms, and instead of shortening
the term each year it should be
heightened until we have a nine
months public school all over
the county. The county court
vt its last session voted to de-
cree the tax our public schools
10 cents on the $1.0O. This
means that next year we'll have
three months public school.
Are you willing to see it done?
# not, speak with the members
If the county court and urge
hem to restore the tax at the
July term of County Court. 1t
s not too late to act, but it must
)e done at once.
We have the Elementary and
High School. The old secondary
chool can't legally exist today.
We have no high school for the
benefit of the school boys and
Urls consequently those who de-
ire further training must be
ent away. Thousands of dollars
ire sent to other counties every
vear which should remain in our
'wn county. We haven 'tappre-
lated our benefactor the state.
We haven't received the aid Of
Ter counties are getting from

lines and enable the boys and
iris of our county to be able to

VIII lead to better ROADS, DeCber
farms and means of farming, bet
ter schools and consolidated
schools, better boys and girls who
will be more efficient when they
become men and women.
/ Thirdly, activities for boys and
girls should be promoted. Every
boy on the farm should survey
an acre of land and tend to it
| himself. He should follow the
rules required by the state Off
Gals. He will then be entitled
to participate in such movements
for their benefit and win prize.
An exhibit should be made at the
State Fair, and all the boys in
club should be given a free trip
] to this Fair. At present, there
is no one who is enthusiastic ov-
er the matter. Our Co., Supt.
hasn' t advocated the cause. He
is the one who should lead these
boys. If he knows that there
are farmers boys who want to
plant their acre, and compete for
the prize, l believe he will gladly
assist them | am a friend to
every boy and girl in the county
and will gladly answer any ques-
ton or do anything for you.
Write me and see. The girls
tomato club should be built up.
A leader should be found. All
the work should be done by the
girls and prizes should beaward-
ed.
The Boy Scout Club should be
organized in every town, village
and nook of the county. 1t is
the best movement in America
for the betterment of the boys
at the most impresslble age;
from II to Is. Manhood, self
respect, and efficiency are deve-
loped. Every boy is developed
physically, and physical prepar-
.edness is the essential thing to-
day. "A good turn" isdone every
day by a scout, and the motto,
BE prepared" is motto for
everyday life. | will assist any
man who will organize the Boy
Scouts IN his town, or if there
aren't s boys who want to join
III assist any boy who wants to
become scout, and be better
boy. There is great deal to be
said aboutit, and | will answer
any letter in regard to the scout
movement. | will aid in organ
izing the girls into the Girl Pho
neers which is an exeellentmove-
ment.
Lastly, complete cooperation
should exist in the county. All
party hatred should be put aside |
all bias should be forgotten. |
Religions and political differen-
ces should not be in our schools !
and all differences either in poll
tics or religion should be eradi- /
icated forever from our school !
system. Peace and harmony

hood should prevail. We should !
all work together with one end |
in view, the betterment of our
county. | have no axe to grind .
and those who SAID / advocated
the Third Glass High School be-
cause | would receive some bene-
tit from it told falsehood. Ii
pity their short sightedness, and
hope they will soon be broader
minded. Let us all work to-
gether and benefit our county.
