The proper and up-to-date caper in

days Is to buy developing outfit and
upset the household from pit to dome
while you are squeezing out pictures
of every dearly beloved friend that
crosses your pathway.
Friend wife selected spare room
on the top floor of Uncle Peters home
where she could await developments.
A half hour later CHASTITY noises be-

ferrous whisperings fell out of the
window and bumped over the lawn.

Not an Industrious Lad.

Young Henry Biggs. the miller's
son, who had been apprenticed to
Farmer Grubbins, had not proved what
might be described as conspicuous
success. And SO, when old Biggs came
along one day to ask what progress
the lad was making, there came a GER
tain dubious expression into the old
farmers eye.
WELL" he drawled, "'tisn't that I
wish to discourage you nor your son
neither. 'Tisn't that wish to be grum-
blin' at him one bit. He don't do moth.

Harry had another hand, he'd want
another pocket to put It in."--London

She handed me the picture, but all
could see was a woodshed with the
door wide open.

"A woodshed!" exclaimed friend
wife. "Why, that is your face, John.
And where you think the door is open
Is only your mouth"

looked at the picture again, but my
better nature asserted itself and
made no attempt to strike this de-

Dairy products, like everything else,

now as never before an increasing de-

consider a few of her performances
we will find that in single year she

RESTED WITH PAT
Lawyer Got Decidedly the Worst OF
Verbal Combat With Irish n

An Irish jockey was called as a wit
ness In trial, and the opposing coun-
sci was doing all he could to invali-
date his testimony.
What are your" he began In a
bullying tone.
Sure, I'm a Jockey, same as my
father was before!" was the reply.
"Ah!" said the barrister, thrusting
his hands into his pockets and prepar-
ing to enjoy himself hugely with the
witness, "and ! suppose your father
did little cheating in his time, like
the rest Of the fraternity"
"Troth, and / suppose he did now
an thin" was the quiet response.
"And where do you suppose he is
now?"
lin heaven, hope, rest his SOUL"
And what should such fellows as
Jockeys do there, I should like to
know" inquired the barrister, in a
voice of thunder. 4
Paddy scratched his head. Then,
with sly grin, he replied
Train bosses for the angels, per-
haps."
And cheat them as they did their
fellow mortals?"
Maybe So" replied the Jockey, still
unabashed.
"Ah! they would be prosecuted
then" exclaimed the barrister, tri-
umphantly.
"Sorra Bit" answered the witness
"And why?"
Because they might search over
and over again, and no lawyer would
they find there"

wHEAT-coRN YEAST BREAD.

! Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious
alone. Thousands of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed -four
bread, and In so doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat -four
for the allies. Here's tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and a half
cups of milk, water or a mixture Of
the two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat II desired, one cup cornmeal
and two cups wheat flour.
| Put one and half cups of water,
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat III
used) into a double boiler and cook
! twenty minutes. The water Is suffi-
Client only to soften the meal little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
Temperature of the room and add the
flour and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place In pan Of stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake As or 90 min
,utes. 1t is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage Of cornmeal than
this even In emergencies, for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and In sucn case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
1t is possible to make yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
.cornmeal. In this case not more than
one cupful of meal should be used to
four cupfuls Of -four. In other re-
spects the bread is mixed and baked
as in the above recipe.

THE JOB HE LEFT BEHIND !

Many expedicnts have been suggested as to
what is the best thing can do to make places for
returning soldiers and sailors.
Reclaiming land by clearing stumps, reclaim
ation irrigation, drainage, etc, are sought to be
made popular undertakings.
Allowing for the restless and unsettled frame
Of mind produced in many by war, most Of
them will want to return to their jobs
Unemployment is ruthless enemy, and what
any man wants first of all who works for living
isa job, upon his return to civil life.
The first thing for our returning millions Of
men is good times with business and industry in
vigorous, uplooking condition.
The worst thing for our boys who are coming
home is to find industry slack, business slow and
prosperity minus article.

OUTLOOK FOR BUILDING GOOD.

The prospects for the lumber industry and
the bmidng trades TOR 1919 are better than at any
time the past year.
ALI over the country comes news OF increased
building activities as restrictions are removed
industrial and residence building programs
for the coming year will make an increasing de-
lnahd for lumber.
1Ae movement will be slower in the small
towns and cities and the country than in the larg
er centers of industry.
Labor will be more plentiful as it returns
from the shipyards and munition works and will
have to be employed.
1t is doubtful if lumber and building material
will be any cheaper, but building hardware and
metal will come down.
Good building lots are certain to advance in
price and with foreign demand for lumber opening
up it will not fall in value
1t is patriotic duty for all who plan business
or residence building in 1919 to make immediate
preparations.
It will help keep city and country prosperous
and that is the best guaranty for industries and
encouragement to returning fighting men.

RESCUE CREW OF
 SCOTIA QUEEN

Beverly, Mass, Dec. 23-The loss of the Danish schooner Scotia Queen off Cape Hatteras on Dec. 19, and the rescue of Captain Richards of New York, and his crew of six by the steamer Gulfland, of the Gulf Refin- ing Co.'s fleet, became known today upon the arrival of the steamer.
 The crew of the schooner had been clinging to the rigging of their waterlogged craft for eighteen hours when they were seen by the lookout on the Gulfland. Oil was pumped from the Gulfland's tanks to smooth the high waves and after several fruitless attempts the dory, which was in charge of Third Officer c. E. Wheeler, of Philadelphia, was brought under the lee of the schoon- CT until all the men of the Scotia had jumped into it.
 The Scotia Queen was bound from Jacksonville, Fla, for NorwaIk, Conn. with lumber. She ran into heavy gales on Dec. r, and leaked so bad ly that the pumps made no headway against the thrush of water
