recipes.
II you are wise you will not use
.,your last bit of sugar, hoping to
get more when the present supply
IS gone, but will avoid the possi-
bility OF totally sugarless days by
making your small supply go as far
as possible.
Turn to your war conservation
cookbooks and refresh your mem
ory on ways to use the sugar sub
stitutes. You will find many recipes
for cakes but most of them were
built TO save wheat as well as sugar
I'VE have this cause for rejoicing
at least; though we must cut down
our use OF sugar we still have
wheat for cake-making and our old
stand-bys in time of sugar strin-
gency-molasses. corn syrup, and
honey-are still procurabie.
The cakes made with syrup are
not just like those made with sugar.
In most cases they are less sweet.
They do NIL an emergency need for
cakes. however. The following reci-
pes use but little sugar:

Cream the fat and sugar. add the
egg yolks. syrup, and melted choco-
late, and beat well. Sift the dry
ingredients together and add alter
nstely with the milk. Add vanilla
and fold in the stiffly beaten whites.
Bake in loaf or layers in a moderate
oven.
For frosting-cook one-half cup
corn syrup until II forms a long
thread when dropped from a spoon.

TURNS TO PANHANDLE
OIL LEASE.

Fort Worth.-Texas oil interests
have swung to the Panhandle with a
rush of enthusiasm in the last few
days and 4 high state of excitement
is developing there. A score of COM

are attempting the exploitation of
this rich and virgin territory.

1900 feet as a six million foot gasser
and the Palo Pinto we'll is reported

the 400 foot level. Both of these wells
are in Potter County.
Skillful oil men are quietly moving
into the Panhandle and the big COM
panies are acquiring acreage and pre-
pairing to exploit the new territory
to the limit. 1t would require more
space than this paper affords to list

MRS. GODDARD WILL GO ID WELFARE MEETING

Mrs. J. r. Goddard, president of the Harmony club. was yesterday named hH Governor Campbell as Arizonas representative at the national child welfare conference to be held in Kan sas City May to 10.
 The appointment of Mrs. Goddard does not come as a surprise to those who are familiar with her work along child welfare lines. As head of club that devOtes a large amount of it's time and gives practically all it's funds 10 charitable causes, Mrs. Goddard has personally investigated many of the cases. Children have particularly benefited by the activities of the club and this fact unquestionably received the recognition of the governor to the clubs charmau as demonstrated by his appointment.
 Mrs. Goddard stated last evening that she would make every effort to attend the conference. Mrs. J. C. Norton. president of the Arizona Con gress of Mothers will be among the delegates in attendance, representing the congress and parent teacher as sociations of the state.
