THE LITTLE WOODEN CROSSES.

The little wooden crosses
Upon q rocky hill,
There where the autumn leaves drift
down,
And all Is strangely still.
The old. old church that broods DER them,
Has seen no fairer sight
In all the years than these who gave
Their youth. and life. and light,
To sleep beneath the wooden cross;
Yet sweet their rest must be.
Who made themselves a sacrifice
That all men might be free.
The pain shall be to those who wait
Cross ocean mist and foam
Who'll miss their face among tue ranks
When soldier boys come home.
But this shall be their recompense,
To lift the cross they bear;
These were the gift n nation gave,
An offering and prayer.
And long as mortal tongues shall live,
Until the world growu old.
New beauty and new glory.
Their memory shall enfold.

Preserve Eggs For Winter Use

The water glass method is the
easiest and cheapest way to pre-
serve eggs for home use. Water
glass is <nsomewhat alkaline sub
stance that can be bought at a
feed or drug sotrc. When diluted
it will not injure the hands. 1t
costs about forty cents a quart
or dollar gallon provided you
furnish your own container. A
gallon will preserve from 80 to
S5 dozen eggs.
Use infertile eggs preferably.
and preserve within twenty-four
hours after laying if possible. The
fresher the egg, the better the re-
suit. Use clean eggs, but do not
wash them.
A five gallon jar will hold
about fifteen dozen eggs. Steril-
ize the jar with hot water. Mix
the water glass with water that
has been boiled and then cooled
to an ordinary temperature. Some
recipes call for one quart of wat
er glass to nine parts of water.
In Colorado proportion of one
to fourteen has been found to
be successful, and is cheaper. Be
careful to mix thoroly since fail
ure often comes from careless
mixing. Many people use an egg
beater for mixing. If the jar is
about half full of the diluted wat
er glass, few eggs may be add
ed each day until the jar is full.
Have about two inches of water
glass above the top layer. Keep
in cool, dry place like a preserve
closet.

is one of those Western pioneers who
never took a dare in his life. He is
now past sixty years of age, and near
ly half a century ago he crossed the
continent on the back of a pony. He
prospected all over the Pacific slope
and roamed the plains with Buffalo
Bill. Two years ago the old scout
gave up his pony and climbed into
a 1917 Maxwell Touring Car. Since
then he and his young son-ln-laW

gave Mr.. Stanley just before he felt
