Ethan, :. D.-Dear Uncle Spring
time is the incest time of the year, The
first sign of approaching spring was on
the 2lst of March, In the evening |
saw some wild ducks fly northward

Wimbledon. y. D.-Dear Uncle:-
During the month of March we had
SnOwStorms and billiards.. The nth of
March the weather was nice. On the
18th it rained all day. ON the 10Th was
st. JoSeph's Day. Then l saw the
meadow lark and heard it sing and also
the swallow. The 20th | saw Il swarm
Of ducks and geese. The next day prai-
rie chickens. The rest Of that week
was mild. The 25th Of March l saw
two gopherS. Then we had nice
weather. Easter Sunday it was nice.
the sky was clear, but it was cold. Now
some more lovely birds are coming from
the South. The 10th of April the
ground was again covered with snow.
At night the sky looked so blue. as it
never died before. and the ground with
its white dress, and not a spot of dirt.
resembled the beautiful month of May
with the" Blessed Virgin Mary. The
10Th of April l beheld the first cron-
lets. 1t is Il blue flower, much like a
tulip; the trees were budding. The
oath we had another Slushy, snowy,
rainy day, but the pretty birds were
/ singing and flying around. The next
day there was quite Il bit of snow on
the ground and the water had frozen
over night. l think the .nieces and
nephews could see more pretty things
out here in the West. our pretty flow
ers first come in May. Ii is too cold for
anything before then, and Il very APP
propriate time is the month of May. 1t
it called the beautiful month of our
Virgin Mary. l saw a nice Easter lily
on Easter Sunday ut my grandma'S.
That is what W. see in the wild West.
\ Our fields all look black aud gray now.
but o they will look nice aud green,
and this not only for Il short distance.
but You have Il perfect view of miles
and miles of surrounding country. If
any of the nieceS or nephewS are in Sis
ter NJ. Miranda'S classroom at New
Vienna please give our love aud best
wishes To her from her nieceS Annette
and Isabel, She is my papa'S sister.
How happy we are that spring has
come with its loving sunshine Today
the sun is shining bright, and the biz
and shining moon at night, and the
golden stars in THE heavens look down
on us like Il twinkling diamond Your
niece, Annette Schmitz.
You also have well observed nature
in spring. Call agan-Der Onkel.

SILENCE Cloth.

Those OF us who still cling to table
cloths instead of polished wood have
often wondered at the exasperating
qualities of the canton flannel silence
cloth. Almost every hot dish placed
over 1t causes it to stick closer than
brother to the polished table and to
leave white, fuzzy rings on the wood.
Instead, make silence cloth out Of
cheesecloth or other washable mate

tween the two folds. Overcast the
edges and knot here and there, as in a

County Boards Of Com
plant, However, Are
Eliminated
RULING rs EXPLAINED
Chief Justice Nichols Declares That
Legislature May Fix Salaries For
Interim In Place OF County
Auditor And Commissioners

Columbus, Jan. 15-The decision of
the supreme court holding unconstitu-
tional and void, the Parrett-Whitte-
more tax law does not prevent asses
sors elected in 1915 from serving until
their successors are elected and quail
fed, nor is the legislature prevented
from making provision for their COM
pensation.
This explanation of the effect of the
courts ruling was made Saturday by
Chief Justice Hugh L. Nichols, who
declared that the decision stripped the
act of everything except mere skele-
ton of itself.
The court found a way by which the
legislature may fix the salaries of the
assessors by some uniform rule. The
provision of the old law was uncon-
stitutional because it delegated to the
county auditor and the county com
missioners the right to fix the compen-
sation of assessors from $3.50 to $40
a day, and made the salary but for
year, when the term was for two
years.
While the county boards of COM
plants is wholly eliminated by the de-
cision, any taxpayer who has a com
plaint may appeal to the courts for
relief. There are said to be something
like 200 complaints in the state not
yet adjusted. These will probably be
taken to the courts.

10 o'clock. Few of them are for longer
than half an hour. These engagements
run up until about II o'clock, the pres
ident always leaving the Oilice building
for the White House for luncheon not
later thun 1 o'clock.
Usually the presidents afternoons
have been given over to recreation.
or course the president played golf
but few times during the railroad
crisis. He then only did so because DIR.
Grayson thought it advisable for him
to get little outdoor exercise. On the
motor rides and at the golf matches
Mrs Wilson was always his compan-
ion,
The motor trips are usually over by
@ o'clock, so there Is ample time to pre-
pare for Z o'clock dinner. Most OF the
presidents evenings have been deyot-
| ed to work.
For the last few months there has
been great mystery about the White
House. II has to do with one of the
means which the president employs t'
relax from his presidential duties. Thi
form OF amusement is nothing mor'
than the popular game Of pool, or
speaking in more polite terms, pocke
billiards.
When the conditions are normal n
the White House the president has tw
means of ren Nution other than playln
billiards. lie takes great delight /
reading poetry aloud. The other forI
OF amusement Is the reading of detec
tive stories lie gets the latest book
OF this sort
President Wilson does not believe

Therefore the hour of IL o'clock usua

before IL o'clock that he retires. TIL

ings.

camembert Toast.

Take one can of American Camem-
bert cheese, which is wrapped in tin
foil and is crustless, therefore the most
economical to buy, and spread it thick
ly on toast rounds. Dust with cayenne
pepper and salt, set under the gas
broiler few seconds to heat and serve
at once. This is very nice with the
