The Destroyers' Greetings

 The destroyers send thelr greetings From a storm-tossed, wintry sea, Off the shores of France and Ireland Where we guard unceasingly. We've upheld Old Glory's honor And we've added to her fame; And we've beat the German kaiser At his dirty U-boat game. We've conveyed our troops in safety And we've landed them in France; Now beneath the starry banner They are ready to advance. And we know we'll be victorious When our German foes they'll
 meet;
 So we send to you our greetings From the whole destroyer fleet.
 From Sailor Friend.

pertaining to civic and agricultural betterment.
We want to see the surrounding country prosper
Gus In production and in agricultural development,
Our business life both present and future is 4
part and parcel Of the agricultural life Of the commune
ity.
The past season has again demonstrated that We
must not be a one-crop country. The necessity Of diver
fsided farming and crop rotation has been again clearly
demonstrated.
We are thoroughly convinced that our farmers
must come to forage crops, silos, mich cows and steers
feeding to meet the requirements Of modern farming
and to keep pace with the constantly increasing price Of
farm lands.
Alfalfa is a soil builder. It enhances land values.
Corn thrives when small grains suffer. Live stock
means q better soil and bigger profits. Mixed farm
ing means freedom from worry about backward springs,
drought, hot winds and rust.
This bank is willing to stand by its belief in more
livestock and diversified farming by rendering all pos
sible assistance to farmers who wish to get out of the
one-crop rut. We have money to loan to purchase
stock, seed and silos, and would gladly talk the matter
over with you.

tory results in shortening such things
as baking-powder biscuits. 1t is also
useful for cooking vegetables either
alone or with the addition of a little
butter.
The unpopularlty of fried food in
many families is due largely to the
fact that the fat has been burned in
cooking. Fat when heated to too high
q temperature splits up and may form
substances which have an irritating
effect on the throat and may cause
digestive disturbances. Fat in itself
is very valuable food, and if 1t is not
scorched should prove healthful
rather than an Objectionable article

Foods Rich in Iron.

Compared with most other foods,
milk contains much lime, but very lit
tie iron. Spinach and other green veg

iron. This is one reason why COM
binations of egg yolks or vegetables
with milk are good, particularly for
feeding children, for they have special
need for lime and iron.

Trying Out Suet.

Those who do not know how to rem
dor aud use suet sometimes object to
il on the ground Of its hardness and
special flavor. Fresh suet, however,
can be SO rendered as to make a soft
useful fat practically free from any
distinctive flavor or odor. The follow
ing is a simple method for trying out
suet:
Remove the skin and lean parts
from beef fat and cut 1t into small
pieces. Put 1t into a saucepan and
cover it with cold water. Place 1t on
the stove uncovered, as it Is believed
that steam carries away strong flavors.
When the water is nearly all evapo-
rated set the kettle back and let the
fat try out. When the fat has ceased
bubbling and the scraps Of skin are
shriveled, allow the scraps to settle
at the bottom of the kettle, strain the
fat through cloth, and set it away
to cool.
This fat is so valuable in cooking
that housewives will do we'll to save
all suet which is trimmed from beef
and try it out.
Suet and Leaf Lard
For those who want a mixture Of
suet and leaf lard, which is a softer
fat than rendered suet and has diff
ferout flavor, the following recipe will
be useful:
! Take two parts Of suet and one of
leaf lard, finely ground, and mix 10
gether. Render this with whole milk
In the proportion Of one-half pint tC
two pounds of the mixed suet and lard

fat Will DC quickly released from tn,
tissues, and when strained and al
lowed to cool will form a cake on tn
surface of the liquid which may b.
easily removed.
