Indications on the surface here are
10 the effect that the resignation Of
Maj. David c. Peyton. superintend-

forced and not voluntary. as the
public would have been led 20 sus-
pect from the statements given out
by Peyton and the manner in which
the news OF the resi- gnatiOn was

Rumors here also are 70 the effect

hand Of politics. II is reported among
democrats here. VINO have expected

Politics Apparent.
The outstanding political fact In
the reformatory situation IS that

and g. A. r. Shideler. superintend-

sarily leaves another place vacant in

How TO Make Apple Butter With
Cider.
Almost all varieties OF apples will
make good apple butter. but those OF
distinctive flavor and of good cook
ing quality are most satisfactory.
Overripe apples are not desirable.
but sweet apples sometimes are
mixed with tart ones.
Here is a recipe for cider apple
butter. Boil FIVE gallons of fresh
sweet cider down TO two and one
half gallons. Prepare FIVE gallons
Of peeled and sliced apples. Either
add these apples raw TO the boiled
cider and cook down, or first make
them into apple sause and then add
70 the cider and cook TO the right
consistency. The butter should be
cooked until the apple pulp and
cider do not separate. Sugar is not
absolutely necessary. When sugar
is plentiful a pound of white or
brown sugar per gallon OF apple
butter is the ordinary proportion.
The sugar is added after the cook
ing is about two-thirds done AS the
product is spiced. various syrups.
such as cane or sorghum or mo-
lasses or maple syrup. could be used
instead OF sugar if on test the new
flavor proved satisfactory 10 the par
ticular home.
Apple butter is spiced according to
personal taste. A half teaspoonful
each OF ground cinnamon. cloves
and allspice per gallon is a common
mixture. The spices are stirred in
when the cooking is finished.
Apple Butter Without Cider.
Good apple butter is often made
without the use of cider. Enough
water is added TO the peeled and
sliced apples TO make a thin apple
sauce, and this is allowed 10 cook
very slowly, or simmer, over a low
fire for three or four hours. 1t must
be stirred often 10 prevent burning

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

Dear Social Cornerites: These are things which are likely to be of use in domestic work:
 To strengthen stockings when knit ting take reel of thread and knit with the wool for the heels and toes. They are just as comfortable and last three times as long as those done with the wool alone.
 If lamp wick IS getting short, sew a piece of flannel to the end of it, the oil will feed up all right. You can lengthen your oil heating wicks in the same way. I've tried it often and it works beautifully. Just now wicks are scarce and high.
 Pure gelatine will take the place of whites of eggs in any recipe calling for whites only. One tablespoon of the dry gelatine equals three eggs First soak the gelatine in a small quantity of cold water for short time, after which add boiling water, making in all one teacupful When cold, whip with egg beater until light.
 When opening a tin of corned beef, always open the tin at the largest end, after making puncture with the tin opener at the smaller end. The beef can then be shaken out without break ( ing 1t. And be sure that you do not leave the beef in the can five minutes after it is opened. Never leave either meat, fish or fruit in a tin after open- ing; to do this not only spells the taste but causes a risk of ptomaine poison- ing. As soon as a tin is opened empty the contents into a china dish.

OLD TIME SEEMS BEST.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: For one am glad to have the good old stand ard time once mora. sSome way cur mornings seem to have been very snort. Our man would not rise by the new time and so our forenoons were snort. He made it right at the end of the day; but unless one gets a good mornings work done the work of the day doNt seem satisfactory.
 Then one had to wait for vines and plants to dry off so time w/nt I think 1t all right for professional men to rise earlier. but I don't think it right for those who rise at five and six o'clock 10 rise regularly an hour earlier .sa ch day.
 l hope now that the summer and fall rush is over that both the old and new writers will take opportunity and write often for our dear old Corner.
 We have a new mail carrier and my Oct Sth paper has been lost or car ried elsewhere so have not seen it. I feel as if had lost good deal in not reading those letters, but hope it will never occur again
 l hope none of you have had the spanish influenza. If you have I trust you are on the road to recovery. l. seems nice, after four weeks, to see the school children vending their way tc school again.
 l presume you will all be meeting in the halls as the time for out of door gatherings is over

TO SERVE SWEET POTATOES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: These recipes may somewhere find favor:
 Baked Sweet Potatoes: Wash the potatoes and bake the same as white potatoes. Small ones will bake in half an hour, while very large ones will require an hour or more. If the potatoes are liked very moist and sweet, bake from an hour to two hours, depending on size
 Crowned Sweet Potatoes: Boil me dium sized sweet potatoes 45 minutes Put them in a baking pan and haste with savory drippings, and season with salt. Cook them in a hot oven for 20 minutes.
 Fried Sweet Potatoes: Cut the boil ed potatoes in slices and fry brown in savory 'drippings. Or the potatoes may be cut in four parts 1engthwise, put in a frying basket and be cooked for ten minutes in smoking hot fat. The fat must be deep enough to cover the potatoes.
 Candied Sweet Potatoes: Candied sweet potatoes are very popular on southern tables, and are extremely palatabIe when well prepared. Cut boiled sweet potatoes into long slices, ! place in an earthen dish, put Jumps of butter on each slice, and sprinkle witk

FINE BREAKFAST CAKES.

Dear Social Corner Friends: As the cool mornings begin to come do YOU like myself enjoy some kind of warm cakes for breakfast? If so, will YOU try these:
 Dat Meal GriddIe Cakes: Two cups oat meal. or Quaker Oats, two cups sour milk; soak over night. In the morning add one teaspoon soda, dis solved in one half cup hot water, one egg, one teaspoon salt, one tablespoon sugar or syrup, one teaspoon baking powder in one and one-haif cups sift- ed flour, then sift again. Beat all well and bake on hot grfddle. I find that instead of using an egg that one ta- blespoon of corn starch in it's place gives the same result. This makes a large quantitys where there are only two in family; but I set what is left in cold place and it is just as good the second and third mornings as the first. so l make three breakfasts for us out of one batch.

THE THAMES IN OCTOBER.

Dear Sisters of the Social sCorner: Autumn's gaudy colorings have again transformed the winding courses of the Thames river into a pathway of light and beauty. The mellow tints of early fall have been superseded by flaming torches of scarlet and brown that soon will fade into the neutral shades of mourning.
 On this October afternoon, through the dim haze of the wavering sun shine, the gorgeous masses of foliage shone and glittered and reflected their rainbow colorings in the waters, even more radiantly than in days of old.
 Each jutting point and inlet bore witness to Natures fantasial touches. Every boulder was festooned and fringed with scarlet runners in deftly woven patterns that defied human de- sCription.
 The quaint settlement of Gales Ferry under the overshadOwing reaches of Decatur mountain was shimmering with light while the eye followed the long line of brilliant scarlets and rus sets until lost in the purple clouds that met the mountains summit
 Allyn's Point was lurid in fall tints, the white stones of the little cemetery at the point startling amid all this maze of color. and the dark ridges Of the houses along the shore, and the dark line of the drawbridge that crosses POquetanuCk cove, making foreground that only enhanced the effect cast by the slanting shadows of the surrounding hills.
 The uplands along the border of Poquetanuck cove even to the point where the cove makes up, were dec orated in all the thousand hues of au- tumn, the clumps of laurel and hem lock standing yividly green among all this witching array of color. The branches of the hemlocks were bunch ed with stained foliage, while the fall l ing f1uttering leaves weer gathering in ridges at their feet.
 Haughtons Cove, TSading Cove and 1 the long ranges of hills that encircle their sides, seemed to be wing with each other in the flushed stre2ks of glowing shades that foreshadow win l ter's advent
 Montville, Kitemaug and the occa- i sional homestead that mark the shore, i in the distance so still and calm, were 1 enveloped in lingering circles of drift ing leaves, cheerfully awaiting the | tyranny of winter, while the overlap l ping heights were royal in the splen- i dor of autumn imageries that glorify the fall of the year.
 But the river like a silvery trail speeds onward between banks dyed with the Haunting farewells of sum mer, broadening and deepening, lead 1 ing down to the far open sea, then away and lost in the tumultuous be- yond.
