VERY LITTLE RAIN
 FELL 0N WATERSHED

Reports to the local weather bureau show that the high winds of Sunday night were followed by light rainfall on the watershed. But precipitation to dLate is below normal and the re- plenishing of the water supply in Roosevelt lake from this source is not dependable.
 In view of this fact and the increased acreage under irrigation. Superintend- ent Elliott of the Water Users asso- citation. has been urging that water users take especial care in distributing water to the proper crops. Specific mention was made of the advisa biity of giving more, water to cotton at the expense Of alfalfa, where farmer raised both crops.

FIRE DOES LITTLE DAMAGE

fire on the roof of the Noll build ing last evening caused a little eX- citement on the streets as the report spread that the Noll building was burning. The blaze was confined to an old cot and other articles on the roof and did not have an opportunity to spread to the inside. The things burned were of little or no value and had been discarded by the Arizona club, which occupies the fourth floor of the building. The origin of the fire was not ascertained

The newest thing in fashions is the frock made of sateen, that old de- spised fabric. It is really stunning too. Here is a sateen dress for the junior miss which is very attractive. It is a warm yellow color embroid- cred in brown and tan. The ribbons are blue. Such frock is worn any place that linen would have been worn last year.

Fine Points On Cake and
Pastry Making for All
Who Have Failed

Since prohibition has come upon
Us the men of the family seem to
crave sweets of all kinds and to en-
joy afternoon tea as never before.
1t is indeed the part of wisdom for
wives and sweethearts to encourage
this very harmless taste by every
means in their power. ,.t
It is = mistaken idea to regard
cake making as difficult art or for
4 beginner to lose heart because of
few failures. Great experience is
not necessary, only the memorizing
of few good rules and little prac-
tice, first with simple recipes, before
tackling the more difficult ones.
Bakery cakes, often attractive ex-
teriorly, seldom approach the home
product in excellence and whole
someness and are vastly more ex-
pensive. But many women prefer to
buy them because they hopelessly
declare that they cannot make good
cake. Where there's a will there's
way" and think of the pride and
pleasure a housewife takes in being
famous for her cakes and pastries.
A little patience and perseverance
in experimenting will amply repay in
results, even if at first materials are
wasted. Do not be discouraged.
You can always cut off the burnt
edges and find some small boy near
at hand who will be grateful to have
what you would hesitate to put on
the tea table. Or if a first cake
turns out too heavy to risk "hub-
by's" laughter it need not be wasted

but turned into an excellent desser
by slicing thin, spreading with jan
or jelly and serving with a custarc
sauce poured over it.
Best OF Materials.
The most essential thing to re-
member in making cake is to use
only the best materials. If you can
not afford to buy good wheat -four
white sugar, table butter and the
first quality Of eggs you cannot af-
ford to make cake nor hope to have
it worth the making. 1t is for this
very reason that the home product
so far excels the bought is not
made of Substitutes" or inferior ar
ticles. There is no intermediate de-
gree in the quality OF eggs and but
ter. Cake made of good butter will
not get stale quickly but keeps
moist and fresh twice as long.
Before starting to work clear the
kitchen table of all but essentials
and take out and measure each in
gredient to be used in the recipe,
having everything needed ready at
hand before beginning.
Another important point to re-
member is that cakes often fall be-
cause the sugar and butter are not
we'll creamed together. In fact, you
should beat them as faithfully as
you do your eggs. Cake mixtures
70 be light, should be we'll beaten
before the -four goes in, and then
mixed as little as possible after
wards.
For all recipes the yolks and
whites must be whipped separately,
preferably in an earthenware bowl,
cool, but not cold, using a Dover
egg beaten. Break the eggs care
fully so that no particles of the vel
low fall into whites, and do not try
to whip them in warm room. The
yolks should be whipped until they
cease to froth and thicken as if
mixed with -four, and the whites I'M
til of such consistency that you can
cut them with a knife and leave an
incision as you would in a solid sub
stance.

ing fresh and stale milk in the same
cake, for sour milk makes a cake

ing fresh and stale milk in the same
cake, for sour milk makes a cake
spongy and sweet closer in grain.
Many cakes fall because the ingre-
dents are not measured, but guessed
at: therefore, it is we'll to have on
hand those convenient little spoons
that come in quarter, half and whole
teaspoon sizes, and also to have a
graded glass half pint cup for meas
uring milk and sugar, and a graded
half pint lineup for -four. 1t is far
better to measure ingredients than
to weigh them, for most household
scales are unreliable, and if your rec
ipes call for pounds and ha. pounds
it is easy to change them, remember
ing the good old rule that a pint is
a pound. This holds true for prac-
tically everything a cake batter re-
quires except that one pound of con-
fectioner's sugar measures three and
one-half cupfLls.
All recipes call for level measure
ments, and knife should be used
to level your cupful of -four and tea
spoonful of baking powder. The up
to-date cookery books no longer say
"a hea ping teaspoonful" or "a scant
cupful," Exact measurements are
given-a cupful meaning always
half-pint, and spoonfuls leveled.
Flour should invariably be sifted
before measuring land after, too),
and it must not be allowed to pack,
but be filled in lightly in the cup
with scoop or spoon.
Batter requires light and deli
cate hand, stirring only one way.
The order of mixing is as follows,
no matter what the recipe used may
be-
Cream together the butter and
sugar beating lightly, add the yolks
of eggs, previously whipped, then
the milk; sift in the -four into which
the baking powder has been stirred;
lastly fold in the stif1y beaten
whites of eggs. In making a fruit
or nut cake, -four them well to pre-
vent them from sticking together
and sticking to the bottom OF the
pan.
After a sponge cake is baked
brush over all the outside with a
pastry brush dipped in vanilla. The
favor will be much better than if
the essence were cooked in the bat
ter.
The older your cake pans the
luckier you are, as usage but in
creases their value. In any case do
not be sparing when greasing the
pans or you will have vexatious mo-
ments when removing the cakes.
Lard is far better than butter in
keeping the cakes from sticking; ap-
ply literally with a pastry brush.
You must study your ovens care

Helpful Hints,

Lettuce for sandwiches should be
thoroughly washed and only the
small leaves selected.
Varnish shelves and the inside OF
pantry drawers after cleaning. They
will clean easier.
Grease can be removed from wall
paper by rubbing with a flannel
moistened with alcohol
When a flower vase is too deep
twist some paper in loose roll and
stuff in the bottom.
Add a cupful of vinegar to water
in which colored clothes are washed
This prevents running.
