the judges, selected Lucille Weston the

Graduation from a highschool is an
important event in the lives of young
people, and in ordinary times any reas-
enable expenditures in connection
Herewith are legitimate and should
not be objected to. But these are not
ordinary times. We are engaged in the
greatest war of all histOry-in a life
and death struggle between militaristic
aut6cracy and democratic freedom, in
which the fate of our country is in
vOlved. The cost in money is already
great and will be much greater before
it is ended. The superintendent is there
fore taking the liberty of suggesting
to parents aid friends of the prospect
i've graduates to avoid all unnecessary
expenses during the approaching sea
son and to invest the amount saved in
Thrift and War Saving stamps. Let
patriotism represented by economy

Happy Jack Has a Shock.

Why many Of the chestnut trees
were dead and others were dying
Happy Jack hadn't the slightest idea-
He simply knew that trees which were
old when his grandfather was little,
and which had seemed 50 big and
strong that they would live forever.
were now dead That they hadn't died
of old age he was sure. because young
trees had died in just the same way
and others were sick, 30 that they
probably would die too. It was sick
ness which spread from one tree to
another.
One day Happy Jack had stopped to
rest on a branch Of a big chestnut
tree which was dead at the top and
which he felt sure would be wholly
dead in another year. AS he sat there

blight meant, but he guessed, and he
guessed right. 1t was the disease or
sickness which was killing the trees
1t gave Happy Jack very much of
shock to hear them propose to cut out
all the chestnut trees, but something
he heard few minutes later gave him
a still greater shock.
Its queer how this blight spreads
from tree to tree" said Farmer
Browns Boy you know they say

PUMPKIN PIE DE LUKE.

Don't forget that there are many
versions Of the good old-fashioneo
pumpkin pie and If you have as yet
not cultivated much enthusiasm TOT
this great American dessert perhaps
1t is because you never had Just tho
sort that best suits your palate. II
you do not like the pie perhaps you
will like the tart. This is made oy
lining muffin tins with the thinnest OF
pastry and then pouring the pumpkin
mixture in these crusts ana oaklng
them. To be sure 1t is the same Dough
and the same mixture but tney appear
to many persons who wouldn't dream
Of eating the old-fashioned sector OF
the pumpkin circle.
Here are some ways Of making the
mixture:
Rich Mixtures.
Here is a rule that calls for nine
eggs, two quarts of milk, teaspoon
of cinnamon, teaspoon cf mace a
cupful and a half of sugar, a taS.c-
spoon Of sherry and a quart of mashed
stewed pumpkin and a pinch of salt. II
you have not been saving sugar for
your Thanksgiving feast you can
sweeten by adding half sugar and half
corn sirup to taste.
Another calls for five cups of fairly
dry stewed strained pumpkin, spoon
of salt, half a grated nutmeg. two tea
spoons of ginger and two of mace and
a cup of sugar. Add a quart OF rich
milk and half cup of cream and four
or five beaten eggs.
It was not in the original Thanks
giving dinner. but to many modern
dinner pumpkin pie is made more
than merely palatable if It is served
with a topping of freshly whipped
cream that has been slightly sweet
ened.
Simple Rules.
This is Just enough for one good
sized pie: One and one-half GUYS of
stewed, strained pumpkin, one aud a
half cups of milk. one egg and from
a half to three-Quarters Of q cup OF
and one and a half teaspoons Of salt
and one teaspoon of cinnamon.

To Lend Variety.

The question of wine in pumpkin pie
ia one entirely of taste-combined no
doubt this year with the question Of
economy. The question of spices is
entirely one of personal preference
and the old-fashioned cook usually
literally seasoned to taste" Among
the seasonings that may be USED are
ginger. cinnamon, allspice, mace, nut
meg. However, it would not be well
to use all these spices at once, better
results being gained when ginger,
cinnamon and one other are USED.
