NEW SCHOOL
School Board Will Call Meeting Of
Voters Very Soon.

Supt- A. F. Schultz of the Alma
public schools told the Alma Record
reporter yesterday, that the school
board would hold a meeting this week,
at which time it was expected that the
board would call meeting at which
time the proposition of new school
for the city of Alma would be taken
up
He also said that at the end Of De
cember the enrolment of the local
schools had reached within three of
500 and that since that time over
twenty new students have entered the
public schools. giving the largest en-
rollment in the history Of the schools,
and also indicating that the city Of
Alma is continuing its stride TO the
front
Regarding q new school he said that
if the propo sition was taken up at
once, that there would not be any too
much time in which to get a building
under way and completed before the
schools open again next September.
when a new building will be positive
necessity.
According 10 the present ideas, it is
gathered that the plan is to construct
an eight room school house in the
eastern end of the city, of n perma-
nent nature, probably on the Elmwood
subdivision site at the corner Of Re
public and Eastward streets.
1t is expected that the date Of the
meeting of the voters Of the school
district, at which the matter will be
taken up, will be given out next week.

there must not he mysteries in

we call your mind to a fact

God says there is nothing GOV

And whatever Christ said to
them in darkness they were to

we see that there was not anv

He has said again.
"Teacbing thcm to observe al

Bible Socialism

1 Bible Socialism is not only for
the individual, the Family, the
County, State or States. But it
should be tolerated and practiced
by all nations. Bible Socialism
4 is the Democracy that all people
should practice. Christ Jesus the
lord, when he was here on earth
He gave bis people a law to 60

land that Law specifies. our walk
with one another in this manner.
Finally. brethren, farewell.
Be perfect, be of good comfort,
be of one mind, live in peace; and
the God of love and peace be
with you. u Cor. 13-1)
The law of the spirit says be
perfect. be of good comfort, be
of one mind-Live in peace then
the God of love, and peace shall
be with you. There is no room
here for strife or contention of
any kind no room for war in
Bible Socialism peace must
reign. For the example set for
|us in the Apostolic age was this.
!; And the multitude of them
that believed were Of one heart
and OF one soul: neither said any
OF them that aught OF the things
which be possessed was his own
but they had all things common.
Neither was there any among
them that lacked: for as many as
were possessors of lands or
houses sold them and brought
the prices OF the thing that were
sold.
And laid them down at the
/ apostles feet, and distribution
was made unto every mau
according as he bad need''
The. Acts. 4. -32*- 34-35]
Here is plain Bible Socialism

November Dinners Planned for Four
Skilful Shopping for the Dinner Pail

away by the fact that, granted the meat
was Of the same grade, his was hung in
the refrigerator until it reached the
very acme of tenderness, while the other
butcher sold his as he received it from
the wholesale house. Taking this fact
into consideration, the more than courte-
Gus treatment one met with at the high
err priced shop, the automobile delivery
and the expert dressing Of the meat by
skilled workmen, and I think the extra
charge was justifable if one cared to
pay for these refnements.
The prices given for the different din
ners were selected from markets OF
about the average grade. For the prin
cipal courses Of the menus, one pound
of round steak, two dozen oysters, four
eggs, one pound and u quarter of lambs
liver, two slices of salt pork (Ior the
chowder), one pair Of young rabbits and
"A pound and half of weakfsh will be
required.
One small butter ball is allowed in
the estimate for each person, although
when sauce is served and the vege-
tables dressed with oleo it is just as we'll
to omit the butter, as extra fat is not
necessary.
The following prices may prove help
fui in planning the menus: Fresh West

General Principles
Of Fish Cookery

Decide when you order fish how you
Will cook It, The fish dealer can prepare
it for plansing or broiling better than
you can. The cheapest fish is not always
the most economical. Five pounds of
cod will contain about two pounds of
waste in the shape of skin, head, tail
and bone, while two pounds of halibut
is solid fish with scarcely an ounce OF
waste.
The cooking of fish depends very
largely OH taste, for various methods
frequently apply most appetizingly to
the same fish. Halibut, for instance: it
may be baked, broiled, fried or boiled,
and be quite as delicious in one way as
another. This is also true of cod had
dock and nearly every kind of white
ieshed fish. What a cook or a fish
dealer calls dark fish (bluefsh, mackerel,
herring. salmon, eels and shady are best
suited for baking, broiling or planking.
They contain SO much oil distributed
through the flesh that it requires drv.
intense heat to make them palatable
Salmon is an exception to this rule,
beng at Its best when boiled. An old
saying, Small fish should swim twice
-once in water, once in OIL" is good
proverb for the cook to remember, be-
cause it is true of all tiny fish such
as smeits, trout, perch, sunfsh, catfish
and whitehall. Sometimes these small
fish are sauted, but they are not 50 good
as when they Swim in OIL"
An oily fish, such as mackere! Or blue
fish, needs no enrichment of fat before
hroiling; a white-heshed fish does. 1t
it is cut in steaks saturate it with Of.
or melted butter (bacon grease is excel
lent) and a good seasoning of pepper
and salt, then put between the wires Of
the broiler. Lay the thckest end in the
centre of the broier over the hottest part
Of the fire, skin side up. Let it get per-
fectly crisp and brown on the flesh side
