ABOUT THAT FLAG

Rev. C. G. Holm says,a story has been
floating around the city for the past
few days, to the effect that the large
flag purchased by the church, and
dedicated at largely attended meeting,
on the evening of July 20, had been
torn down by himself. This is absolute
ly false. The Rev. Mr.. Holm says the
flag, which is nine by sixteen feet in
size, was found to be too large for the
space it occupied at the rear of the
pulpit, it hiding the choir from the
audience. For that reason the large
flag has been replaced with a smaller
one. The large flag, he says, is priced
very highly by the church people, and
the change was made only for the
reasons given. At the dedication of the
flag on July 29, there were some 500
people present, at which time appro-
pirate addresses were made by Rev.
p. F. Wheeler of the Congregational
church; the late Rev. T. L. Griffith,
formerly pastor Of the Congregational
church at Cambria, whose death oc-
Cured in Minneapolis last week, and by
Attorney George Erickson. The Rev.
Mr.. Holm regrets the circulation of the
story, and feels that statement of the
facts in the case is due him.

DISAGREEABLE WEATHER
DAMPENS LOYALTY MEET

The loyalty meeting at Sleepy Eye
was not so largely attended as had been
expected. This was partly due to the cold
and disagreeable weather, and partly
to the fact that many people refused
to 60 when it was announced that Mike
bowling Of Olivia was. to be one Of the
speakers.
There were a number of bands, in
Guiding Hofmeister's of this city, the
Sleepy Eye and Springfield musical or
CARNATIONS.
The parade was also disappointment,
and this Of course, was due mostly to
the inclement weather.
The meeting was held in the South
Side park, where several speakers ad-
dressed to audience DR.. Hollister

welcome.
Hon. Frank Clague Of Redwood

LEY GOOD SUBSTITUTES FOR
FLOUR

Bread-making experts of the agri-
cultural college of the University Of
Minnesota are planning ways to save
wheat -four. In their efforts they have
perfected several different kinds of
loaves. Each loaf saves from 20 to 35
per cent of wheat flour.
They have provided a corn meal
yeast bread. Here are the proper
proportions for one loaf:
Add Bread Loaves to svae more four
/ IA cups milk and water, or water
tablespoons sugar.
/ tablespoon fat:
2 teaspoons salt.
2-3 cup cornmeal.
1-3 cups flour.
IL cake compressed yeast.
IA cup warm water.
Add sugar, fat and salt to liquid and
bring to boiling point. Add cornmeal
slowly, stirring constantly until all is
added. Remove from fire, cool mixture,
and add compressed yeast, softened in
IA cup warm water. Add -four and knead.
Let rise until about double its bulk,
knead again and put in pan.. When
light, bake in moderate oven for at least
an hour.

Crone Bros. Have Engaged tn.
Ruby Theatre for a Special
Matinee.

TLere have been many reels of moving
pictures exhibited in New Ulm, but
none to compare with the one Crone
Bros. will show at the Ruby Theater
on Thursday, September 20, at 8 o'clock
p. m. We have seen train wrecks.
battle scenes, submarine views, horses
plunging from cliffs, nobility at play,
whaling crews in the Arctic, lion hunting
in the African jungles, ETC., but this
newest product Of the silent drama is
the showing of front lacing corsets on
living models. The theatre has been
engaged for special matinee, and only
Women Will be in attendance. Many
male patrons will be disappointed at
learning that they are to be excluded
from this theater on the afternoon
mentioned, but as the seating capacity
will be taxed, and as the film is of direct
interest to women only, the men will have
to content themselves with meager
descriptions of those parts Of the scenario
that the women think might interest
mere man.
A dozen models Of varying types are
employed in this picture and the actual
fitting of Gossard corsets is shown.
Thru clever manipulation of the molten
picture camera it is possible, at the same
time, to see two ikenesses Of each model
advancing on the screen. In this way
the contrast between the uncorseted
and correctly corseted figure Of each
model is clearly shown. Around the
fitting and model promenade, there has
been written a very interesting story
entitled, .sThe Social Key The Crone
Bros. store is to be congratulated on their
ability to secure an early run on film
in such great demand.
i Complimentary passes are. being IL

Oatmeal Good Substitute.

Scald liquid and pour it over the
rolled oats, sugar, salt and fat. Let
stand about half hour, until luke warm.
Add yeast, softened in the warm water.
Add flour and knead. Let. rise until
double it's bulk. Knead again and place
in pan. When light, bake in moderate
oven frcm As to 80 minutes.
Barley Yeast Bread.
Barley flour as an adult human food
has been little known, altho it has all
the properties to recommend it to the
family larder. Barley yeast bread is
new and good and made by using:
cup milk and water.
1 tablespoon sugar.
tablespoon fat.
l teaspoon salt.
IL cake compressed yeast.
1-6 cups barley -four.
2 1-3 cups wheat flour.
Soften the yeast in part of the liquid.
Combine ingredients. Mix into dough.
Knead and let rise to double original
bulk. Knead again and put in pan.
When once more doubled in bulk bake
about As minutes.
A Different Rye Bread.
Rye, also generally grown, is less
pleasing, to the majority of people, in
breads, but here is rye yeast bread for
variety:
cup milk and water.
2 tablespoons sugar.
tablespoon fat.
teaspoon salt.
IL cake compressed yeast, softened in
tablespoons water.
2 IA cups rye flour.
IA cups wheat flour.
Combine ingredients. Mix into dough
and knead. Let rise until double original
bulk, Knead again. When again double
in bulk, bake about As minutes.
Potatoes Used, Too.
The modern conservationist makes
three loaves of potato yeast bread in this
fashion.
1-2 cup milk and water.
4 tablespoons sugar.
tablespoons fat.
1-2 teaspoons salt.
1-2 cake compressed yeast softened in
Ia cup water.
cups boiled potatoes.
cups flour.
Combine ingredients, Mix into dough
with about cups of the -four and knead.
Let rise until double original bulk.
Knead and add remainder of flour.
When again double in bulk, bake about
l hour.
Rice Another Substitute.
A recipe for the rice yeast bread pro-
duces two loaves. The rice used should
be boiled in large quantity of water,
some eight or ten times as much water
as rice. This gives dry rice which is
an important factor in the making Of the
bread after the following directions:
cup milk.
tablespoons sugar.
tablespoons fat.
l 1-2 teaspoons salt.
1-2 cake compressed yeast softened in
Ia cup liquid.
8 cups boiled rice.
Soups -four.
