"Jedge. las Wednesday night as

Blanche Schools, who was COM
planning against Ralph Garner.

I'm what doan agree wild her en- has
bad dreams. All sweah afore Gawd
All neber had no razzer. All was
in my own little bed sound asleep"
1t is true that Blanche had eaten
some Goldfish cakes and ice cream
that night. But as far as we know
she is not troubled with either
nightmares or indigestion.
"Ah didn't hab no dream, Jedge,"
persisted Blanche, dat was a sure
enough man standin' ober me tell
in me dat nah time was come"
The court gave Ralph the bene-
fit of the doubt. He had no oc-
casion, it turned out. to hurt or
threaten Blanche.

MRS. WINDELL GIVES A
HELPFUL DEMONSTRATION

Mrs. Wendell held a meeting We'd
uesday with the Housewives League
of Dixon Springs. She demonstrated
the drying of fruits and vegetables,
and the work was most entertaining,
being done quickly and well. Simple
trays were made in the house and
the heat from an ordinary cooking
stove was used. This work may be
done during the preparation of meals,
thus saving time and fuel. The pro-
ducts chosen were corn, okra string
beans and apples, and we had excel
lent results with them all. This
method is especially adapted to the
saving of the late corn, which will not
mature before frost and would 9TH
erwise be wasted. Accurate instruc-
tions were distributed, but the easiest
and decidedly the most pleasant way
to learn these processes is to attend
keepers should get busy. Delay and
the season is past. Are we going to
fail our brave boys on the eve of vic
tory? The thrifty German house
wife has not been idle, and food is
the magic which will open the door
of peace, and the American woman
must be the fairy who waves that
wand.
