who read the signs of the time and
who put his talent and his money to
work to help his fellowman and to
save his section of the country from
the cyclonic disaster caused by the
boil weevil and the many weary years
of just cotton and then more cotton
and wee bit of corn, that it would
seem to be words of supererrogation
to again refer 20 him in these col
umns, in this connection.
But a truth shines none the less
by repetition. Craftsmanship has
been defined as one discerning the
spirit of the people and the exigen-
cies of the hour and bringing the
two together for the common good.
This is what Mr.. Thomas saw in the
fading economic conditions Of this
section, conditions that developed
out of the thirty years or more labor
problems and, in many respects,
playing at farming. 1t takes wisdom

1t takes wisdom to study mistakes and
to use those mistakes as lamp posts
for the future. Unquestionably the
enterprises fostered by the Grenada
Bank through it's pig clubs, its baby
beef clubs, it's poultry clubs, ETC.,
show what can be done and are the
nest eggs for future prosperity. OF
course there is much to do besides
the laying of The egg. 1t must be
carefully cared for in the incubator
and then when it is hatched, there
are yet many other ehings to be
done; so it is with these enterprises
put in motion by the Grenada Bank
and it's branches.
The counties of Grenada, Talla-
hatchie and others where the bank
has branch institutions were well ad-
vertised at the State Fair. Fairs are
object lessons Those who visited
the Fair should have gone for some
purpose not "just to see the races
or "just to be going" but to study the
farm products and other things ex-
hibited with the view of bettering
themselves at home and incidentally
helping the communities of which
they are part.

ORGANIZATION MEETING
OF LOCAL FARM BUREAU

There was a very good attendance at
the organization meeting of the local
farm bureau at Amusement hall on last
Friday. Few turned out to the morn

3. When Manganese Dfoxise is

be heated in advance to drive off most
of its impurities.
4. Zinc is another element which has
advanced in price recently and there
is no reason to believe in a fall of
prices for some time to come. Zinc for
ordinary use should be bought as spell
ter or in slabs. This can be granulat-
ed by the instructor by heating it to

CONTROLS 100 CHURCHES
Annual Session Which Closed in Mil
swaukee Tuesday Afternoon Provides
for Wide Extension of the Mission
Work Of Synod Among Indians.

Kenosha is to be the headquarters
of the Lutherans of a wide district for
the coming year as at the closing SEES
sions of the Evangelical Lutheran Syn
Cd of the Northwest in Milwaukee on
Tuesday the Rev. Carl Buenger, pastor
of the Friedens Evangelical Lutheran
Church on Ridge street, was named as
president of the great synod. The
synod over which Mr.. Buenger will
preside includes churches of the demon
ination in Wisconsin, Illinois, Mime
sofa, Michigan and Nebraska. In all
there are hundred Lutheran churches
in the synod and the membership of
these churches includes more than
fifteen thousand people. The election
of Rev. Buenger as president of this
great synod marks him as a leader
among the Lutheran ministers of the
central states. Other officers of the
synod are: First vice-president, Rev.
Henry Bergman, Milwaukee; second
vice-president, Rev. Walter Hoenecke,
Milwaukee; secretary, Rev. Henry
Gieschen, Milwaukee; treasurer
Charles Werner, Milwaukee; recording
secretary, Rev. V. Nomensen, Hustis-
ford; auditing committee, Rev. Emil
Schulz, chairman, F. Saxman, Emil
Hass and Prof. e. Sampe.
The division of the synod into three
districts was effected at the Monday
afternoon session. The districts will
be known as the northern, western, and
southwestern. Milwaukee congrega-
tions are included in the district of the
southwest.
"The most interesting matter taken
up at the session of the synod lust
closed was provision for wide exten-
sion of the mission work among the
Indians in Arizona,' said President
Buenger this morning. EEThe work in
these missions was outlined by the
Rev. Edgar Guenther who made the
trip In Ford automobile The work

CONCERT FOR PATIENTS.

Happiness is the rule at the Willow
brook Sanatorium, but there was
double dose of it Monday night when
fthe patients were entertained by
concert by Alfred Miller and Miss
Florence Miller of Chicago. The
former is violinist of marked ability
as was shown by the way in which he
swayed his listeners by the magic of
has melodies, Miss Miller, who is a
sister of the violinist, is a rare pianist
and especially pleased the listeners
with her rendtions of compositions Of
Chopin. The program of classical
music was intarspersed with renditions
of old melodies, all of which appealed
an an exceptional way to the musical
appreciation of the guests. Miss
f5techel, the -Kenosha county visiting
nurse, was responsible for this treat
for Willowbrook, inasmuch as Pro-
fessor and Miss Miller came to Keno
Sha at her invitation

PATH OF GOLD.

A path of gold oh, build it quick
and straight
For mercy's feet to treadl
There is no time to wait
Each minute pulses red
From Freedom s wounded heart.
Make haste to do your partl
Swift as they are, your gifts will
be too late
To help the dead.
But there are those who live, whom
you can spare
A little of the agony they bear
For you-that's true; have you not
thought how trues So
For you.
These, who have learned how much
body and soul endure,
Their church-bells were as sweet as
ours,
Their gardens were as glad with
flowers,
Their women were as pure,
Their children sang and laughed and
played
As merry and as unafraid-
Q little heads bowed on the desks as
though
The lesson being hard, you fell
asleep!
We shudder and we weep - but
tears are cheap.
More, more than tears must pay the
debt we owe
To those whose bleeding breasts
have been our shield,
a wall that viii not yield.
God knows this moment is too deep
for hate.
The hour is great, it calls US to be
great.
Our hand shall comfort him whom it
must strike
For wounded friend and wounded
foe alike

was shown to be so deserving that it
was decided to send three more men to
represent the Lutheran churches of this
territory in this mission work. !"
No action was taken at the synod in
regard to the existing political and
war questions.
We Lutherans," declared President
Buenger this morning, "have an I'M
derstanding that nothing relating to
the secular life or the political activi-
ties of the nation shall be taken up at
the regular sessions of the synod and
for this reason nothing was done in re-
gard to the passage of any resolutions
along this line
The coming of the headquarters of
this, one of the largest Lutheran syn
DDS in the country, to Kenosha will be
of greatest interest to all Lutherans
and Mr.. Buenger was busy today re-
ceiving the congratulations of the
members of his parish and men asso-
ciated with him in church work in the
city.
The election of Mr.. Buenger to so
high position in the church will not
in any way interfere with his contin-
ued work with the Kenosha congrega-
ton or with his work as chairman of
the Board of Park Commissioners in
Kenosha.

those who think no meal is complete
without it lack a certain kind Of educa-
ton in gastronomy. IF meat substi-
tutes are despised it is usually because
those who have cooked them have not
understood how to compound and sea-
son them. Fish of all kinds should
have an honored post on the table meat
has evacuated; vegetables, especially
in this season, should be plentifully en-
ployed and combined with little meat,
to- give sovoriness, or with cheese, or
with eggs or served in salads. We have
not begun to comprehend what can be
done with vegetables or to learn how
easily we can become accustomed to a
dish of these or of cheese fondu or
cheese souffle or cheese pudding, or
cheese sandwiches or any one of half
a dozen preparations in which cheese
is served as a flavoring and a nutri-
mnt instead Of the inevitable roast,
boiled, stewed broiled or fried animal
food.
wish all of us could lay aside our
prejudiees and make an essay in this
unfamiliar field before we utter a de-
cisive judgment as to the shortcom-
ings of such meat substitutes.
When we arrive at the sweets there
is another station at which we can Of
fer plea as to the excellence Of the
less costly kinds. With ripe fruit,
either fresh or stewed, in abundance,
as it should be for months to come,
the question of desserts seems one of
minor Importance. Yet even here we
can offer trifles, custards, Floats,
blanc-manges, jellies, delicate buildings
and puffs which are no whit inferior
in taste to heavy, rich sweets, such as
pies and tarts and are far more whole
some. Their good qualities ought to
offset, even with critics, the fact that
they cost less than the substantial com
pounds I deprecate. I incline to fancy
that those who include all inexpensive
sweets along with meat substitutes in
one sweeping condemnation lack expert
ence of what can be done with good
will, good appetite, good skill and sim
pie materials.
It would be interesting to give the
experiment a fair trial.

PLANNING BIG OUTING.
Kenosha Retailers Association t,
Make Gathering at silverlake
Next Month Big Occasion.

Chairman Harry A. Bruner and the
committee of the Kenosha Retailers
Association in charge of the annual
outing of the association to be held
at Silverlake on August 9th, are plan
ming the biggest day in the history of
the pleasant association of Kenosha
merchants The program is to be one
worth while and there will be amuse-
ment for every one from the smallest
child to the oldest-but the real mem
bers of this association never get into
the oldest class 1t is to be in the
nature of a basket picnic and it is not
going to be for the Kenosha merchants
and their families alone. Of course,
the stores in Kenoslla are going to
close for all day and lot of people
are going out in automobiles and on
the train, but Secretary Maddox is
going to make this the biggest get
together meeting for the town and the
country that Kenosha county has ever
known. Every farmer in Kenosha
county, every person living in the vii
lagos of the county is going to be in
vited to come and bring the folks. =
The individual parties will be expected
to take lunch for the picnic, but there
will also be dinners served at the hotel
and an abundance of hot coffee will be
provided for all at the hotel. Special
accommodation will be provided on the
trains west from Kenosha to take
care of the big crowds certain to at
tend the annual outing.

to make the soup also utilized and
even then they are rather beyond the
purse or the inclination of most of US.
But is their departure real loss to our
palate7 Are we not as well fed with
purees of different kinds, with the
boundless number of vegetable soups,
either clear or cream, with soups that
have fish or a milk foundation as
with the consomme of any order?
Of course the meat course is the crux

grant that there are few persons who
decline any cuts of meat save those
that are tender enough to be roasted or
broiled, but even before the late strin-
gency / fancy there were not many who
could indulge this preference. Most
OF us have had to depend upon the less
expensive portions and tried to make
up by care in cookery and seasoning
for the defects in flavor and juices. If

meat richest in nourishing qualities
