RECORD IN PLUM PUDDINcs
King of Them All Was That Turned
Out in English Town, Weighing
Nine Hundred Pounds. /,

The plum pudding is essentially a
British dish, and it is deservedly a
very popular article of the menu
Hence it comes about, probably, that
we read occasionally of really Brob-,
dingnagian buildings being put into
circulation, and there are several on
record the very mention of which will
be quite sufficient to make the aver
age schoolboy's mouth water.
For instance, early in the last cen
fury n was made, for distribution,
among the poor of Paignton, which.
weighed 900 pounds. The ingredients.
included u very large number of eggs,
120 pounds of suet, q like weight Of
raisins, and 4 hundredweight of flour.
1t was kept boiling from Saturday
morning to Tuesday evening, and when,
those in charge thought it sufficiently
cooked, it was drawn by three horses,
to the village green, and there served
out to the large assembly. !
In this case, however, the cooks had;
been too precipitate, and three days.
boiling was not sufficient, for the gi-,
gantic lump was not ready in the CEN.
ter, and only the outside was really,
fit to be eaten.
The dainty morsel was the outcome,
of an. old charter which prescribed
that the inhabitants Of the place should
distribute a big plum pudding among
the poor every fifty years. :

The immense cost of Henry Ford's
peace propaganda led DR.. Lawrence
Carr Winthrop of the League to En-
force Peace to say in Boston:
Ford, at any rate, Is universally &c.
knowledged to be a mighty generous,
open-handed man. I heard a story the
other day that shows how thoroughly
Ford's generosity has sunk into the

The controversy nvrr the location of
the new school building for the Lo,.::
Hill school districr has brought to
light some interesting history in con-
nection with the building of the East

it is still used shows with what care
the building was erected. The build.

stone, a rather unusual feature. 1t is
interesting to recall, in connection with
tlae school, shat John F. Cooke, one of
the members of John Browns raidin-

him, once taught in this school. He

Last October a new Ford car
was stolen near Owatonna, MINI.
Soon after that q young man sold
the car in Yankton for 5000 90, the
purchaser reselling it to another
Yankton man and he in turn trad
cd it as part payment for a Buick.
The new owner then sold the ma
chine to a farmer six miles south
Of Tyndall, who has kept it until
last week when the sheriff of
Owatonna county appeared and
claimed the car, taking the ma.
chine back with him and restoring
It to the original owner. The out
come of the deal is that the origin
III purchaser In Yankton will have
to stand the loss, as the Bon
Homme county farmer can come
back onto the man in Yankton
from whom he purchased it and so
on until he who purchased the car
from the thief is reached. It has
developed that the boy who stole
the car not long ago stole q second
car from Albert Lee, Mimi, and
drove it to Oklahoma, where it was
disposed Of and where be was
caught and is now serving time in
the penitentiary at st. Cloud, MINI.
The incident should serve az q
warning to men to be careful about
buying cars, or anything else for
that matter, from strangers.

! American mills, again. are handi-
capped in competition with English
mills by reason of the fact that in
the latter the spinning of the yarns
| is rigidly separated from the weav-

there. One man is a spinner; that is,
his mill spins yarns only, and even
here, instead of undertaking to make
large variety of counts or sizes of
yarns, he confines himself to a very

ing the purchaser to a f1eighboring

The same is true to great extent
