 Mrs. C. F. Perkins is in receipt of two recipes from a friend in Chicago for making war bread" which have been used with excellent results in that city It is claimed that making bread by these recipes means say ing of 30 to 40 per cent of the wheat Try these They are as follows:
 WHITE CORN MEAL BREAD (with white flour and potatoes) )-Four cups of water, two cups white corn
 meal, one cup mashed potatoes, one yeast cake,+ one tablespoonful of lard, one teaspoonful salt, and one of su- gar, white flour Bring the water to a boil, add sugar and salt, sift in the corn meal, and the potatoes, cook slowly for ten minutes, add the lard, and when cool enough, the yeast cake dissolved in water When this Is light make into a large loaf with white flour, let it rise, divide into four loaves, and when these have doubled in size, bake one hour in moderate oven.
 HOMINY BREAD (with white flour and potatoesl- Take two large pota- toes and three cups of cooked hominy, boil until the potatoes are tender, and sift through colander or potato ric- CT.

The News regrets that the members of the county levying court could not see their way clear to making an ap- propriation for the proposed north and south road through the county. Such a road would have been worth much more than it's cost to the county. We will never have any real roads in the county as long as we follow the old piece-meal method so long in vogue.

Brown yesterday. Brown is special
agent in the employ Of the Immigration

question of flooding this country with

'The fact that from now on, all inn
migrants will be forced to know how to
read and write some language or dia-
lect, including Hebrew or Yiddish, will
stop 25 FER cent of the immigrants

plus of labor in this country at the
