POLUHNFS ENTERTAINMENTS

Thursday afternoon curious
crowd gathered in front of the post
office to witness Poluhni's wonder
full auto.driving feat. An automo-
bile was ready, and two girls and
the driver Of the car rode to the
vacant lot north of the Red Cross
garage. A note consisting of dozen
words was then written on one of
the soldiers writing kits from The
Republican office, and hiden beneath
a large stone in the lot.
The three persons drove back to
the post office, and Poluhni, with his
eyes completely blind-folded seated
himself at the wheel, with the other
occupants of the car. He then steer
ed the automobile to the spot,
alighted, and took the letter from
under the rock. Immediately the
note was given to the girl in the car,
and with his eyes still covered, Po-
luhni drove back to the post. office.
The magician got out of the car,
and standing several feet from the
girl, gave the contents Of the letter,
almost verbatim.
In the evening large and appre-
ciative audience enjoyed his enter
tainment in the high school auditor
ium. His tricks were the very new
est and Poluhni kept the audience

HOUSE WIVES WRITE 1T

J Housekeepers are invited to send
us suggestions for economy in the
management of the home, whether
He -appffes to cooking;~Mashfhg, cloth
ing or whatever it may be that will
help solve the problems of the great
economic changes confronting us.
Our office force find it hard to
keep up their work and have prac-
teal things for the home economics
department that do not become mo-
notonous, and that do not border
too much on the impractical. Most
of the recipes for cooking deal with
things found in the kitchens and
larders of city homes rather than
homes in the country or little towns,
and again, the present situation re-
lating to foodstuffs calls for compil-
ing recipes emitting the use of
things that are to be tabooed be-
cause of the desire of the food COM
mission to cut down their use.
If you have an idea to contribute
to the rest of the population of the
county, please send it in. II
