Pinto Beans.

Pinto bean seed is available at 8
;ents a pound. The food administra-
tion informs us that licensed shippers
will sell seed to growers at 9 cents,
recleaned. Seed should be bought in
100 pound lots whenever possible to
avoid extra cost of sacks when beans
ire purchased in smaller lots. The
bean division has selected large
amount of seed and placed it at central
points. This is selected seed and it
fixes the 9 cent price.
Growers are still holding beans in
some cases. We are definitely in
formed that there will be no higher
price. Get in before the car lot ship
ments are all made. The food admin
istration is taking all possible pre-
cautions against any chance Of specu-
lation. 1t must be understood that
they control the pinto bean situation
as far as the 1917 crop is concerned.

Cornstarch is useful in making Gus

in cake baking. Corn grits fried like

be used in baking corn bread. Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por-
ridge or In oatmeal cookies or in

Buckwheat flour may be used in
bread making forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter OF the

the form of buckwheat cakes for

d prominent young man Of Richmond,

for the murder of his wife on the Mid
lothian turnpike of Virginia, on the
night of July IS. 1911.
The object Of the curious eyes Of
thousands wherever she went, Miss
Binford faced about few weeks after
the murderer, her sweetheart, had been
put to death, and declared she would
show to the world that if in a girls
heart there was a desire to be honest
and good, there was no power that
could keep her from winning. For
seven years she has been travelling
straight road, spurning offers to
capitalize her notoriety on the stage
and the screen.
Now she Is on her way to serve
where most needed. True, no one
knows her as Beulah Binford, for she
is using an assumed name, so it will
not be so difficult for her to make
her way. All she desires now, she
stated when about to sail, is that
when she returns from the battle front
the world will look upon her and adj
nit the things that she is striving to
prove-that Beulah Binford, once the
talk of the nation. has made good.
