Are Always Chaperoned.

Just too bad. it is, and not bit
interesting for the fair maidens who
really thought that being a bigger
place the chances for good times were
vastly increased. But. alas, the rules
are so stringent that a student
"nursie" has to have a chaperon al
most everywhere she goes.
And they are such pretty girls. 1t is
wonder that the hard" heart of
Lieut.. Col. Kefauver does not melt
and grant them privileges for which
they crave. Their smiling faces are
so coQuettish end their ways SO at
tractive that his mind must at least
be wavering. There may still be a
chance.
The only solution is for the girls to
lose their hearts In their work. After
all, they are very young and wooing
can come later.

This investment of $65O,OOOyOOO had grown sn
value until in 1910 it was said to be worth s2.Oo0.-
100000.
Damage claims aggregating $500, 10000 are said
to be filed with the American state department. In
this are included legitimate claims for additional
losses due to the following causes:
Destruction Of new values created by the Amer
lean energy which has now been driven out.
Destruction OF business through confscaaarg
taxes and uncurbed banditry, making operations
impossible.
Destruction Of original values through unstable
government.

HALF OF FOOD
VALUE YOU NEED
LIES IN CEREALS

When it is necessary to supply
large quantity of food at low cost,
dietitians have ascertained that
about half the nutriment. needed by
the average person can be supplied
by cereals alone. The qualities in
which cereals may be deficient are
supplied by milk, fruit and vege-
tables.
When cereals form large portion
of the diet, it is especially impor-
tant that they should be perfectly
cooked and Favored to render them
palatable. A fireless cooker, which
permits thorough steaming over
of cooking cereals. Various sorts of
cereal require different periods of
cooking. Here is a table for the
most familiar sorts:
Cook oatmeal, cupfuls. of water
Rolled oats, IL cupfuls of wa
ter to 1 cupful of cereal. 2 hours.
Rice, 8 .cupfuls water to 1 cuptul
cereal, IL hour
ter to / cupful cereal, hour,
wheat (granulated), ga cupful of
water to 1 cupful cereal. 1 to 3
hours.
cornmeal, :, cypffulss waite, water to 1
Hominy, 4 cupfuls water to 1
cupful cereal, to hours. ,
When cereals are cooked on top Of
| the stove, over direct heat. they
should be cooked in a double boiler.
Salt the water, allowing 1 tea
spoonful salt to each quart. When
the water boils. stir the cereal in
| slowly. Boil hard five minutes over
direct heat. Finish cooking in dou-
| BILE boiler without stirring. When
done. all the water should be alb
sorbed.
Cereals cooked in a fireless cooker
should be prepared as for the stove
but one-sixth less water should be
used. Boil over direct fire for ten
minutes. allowing fifteen minutes
for coarser cereals. Put in the cook
err when at boiling temperature, and
| leave overnight.
To add variety to plain cereal,
slices Of dried fruit, or dates raj
sins or figs may be added while
cooking. Fresh fruit NAV be added
during the last thirty minutes.
Leftover cereal NAV be nodded in
oil pans or bowls, sliced cold. dip.
ped in egg and cornmeal end fried
and served with syrup. IF nodded
in individual molds, it may be serv-
ed cold with cream and sugar, or
with whipped cream.
| If cooked with SCUM stock or bits

Homestead land in many districts
Of the west awaits the coming of
the woman settler, providing she can
stand the hardships of frontier life.
So says Mrs. Grace B. Caukin, re-
ceiver of the United States land office
of the Pacific district, with offices at
San Francisco.
"The woman settler" she says,
must be willing to forego life of
ease with it's luxuries and it's tinsel.
"She must be willing to endure the
hardships incident to wrestling
home from barren wastes.
''She will have to work hard.
"She will have to do much of So

"Red Cross nurses have the same
rights to land as soldiers, under the
homestead law" explains Mrs. Cauk-
ms "a nurses months of war serv-

"She is entitled to 100 acres. Seven
months out of each year. for three
years, must be spent in residence on
the claim.

in the service, only a seven months
residence on the land is needed be-
fore she can make final PROOF.

thaF one home is enough; so that a
homestead application may only be
filed under the husbands name.''

Go to Your County Meeting---
Sign the Pledge

you will be asked to sign pledge to
reduce your cotton acreage one-third
sign it. Help keep the South pros
porous. Remember that small cot
ton crop is easier to handle. Labor
is scarce and hard to get. Do not
raise cotton to leave it in the fields.
On small crops the fertilizer will cost
you less and the cotton will be picked
better and you get better grade, and,
consequently, a higher price. Above
all, you are playing safe. Sign the
