Wright, as it is region little known

in that immediate vicinity, before the
advent of "The Shepherd of the

vacation ground. visited by thous-
ands OF tourists every year. A casual
visit there showed Mr.. Wright its
possibilities, and he remained to
write a story of present-day life in
that country. This story Is now
known in every land, and any one
who has read the book can immedi-
ately understand how wonderfully it
could be shown in pictures. The pic
tdresque and sturdy mountaineers
are faithfully portrayed. and the
scenic background is lavished in dis
play OF natures beauties in South

whole story and which is so start

OIL TALK HERE AND THERE

his report:
For several days reports have
come from Desdcmona that many
of the townslte wells are losing
rapidly in production and that some
OF them have begun TO flow salt
water and even some of the larger
wells have registered declines.
This Is, OF course, natural decline
in any field but TIE recent losses
seem to be greater than they should
be.

There was new important develop
mcnt in the Desdemona district dur

mile extension of the field 10 the

ing only a few hundred barrels daily
but when II was deepened the flow
increased to 1900 to 1900 barrels
daily. This makes the new territory
look better and also gives an in
dication that nothing to determine

at Norlaix, near Brest, the Generals
simo of the Allied Armies is living

tweeds and wearing cap, only re-
tanning his leather leggings as a re-
reminder of his uniform.

that an exception be made in favor Of
Foch, one of them adding naively
that "as he has rendered slight SER
vice to his country, in Kidding it of
the Germans he might be allowed to
deprive its woods of few par
trilgcs.'
When it became known that Foch
was going to Morlaix, the Mayor and
City Councillors a once made elab-
crate plans for the reception. They
assembled at the house of the mayor
and commenced marching down the
station when some one remarked that

had passed.

SPICE VINEGAR
GI.GS GOOD

PICKLE FLAVOR
Spiccd vinegar is used in making
pickles, for favoring gravies, potato
salad, and similar dishes For pick
ling it is especially valuable, as the
flavor from spiced vinegar is the
same all through the pickles, while if
pepper, cloves, and dill are added di.
rectly to the pickles the flavor is
more concentrated at the places
where these spices are put. The
herbs from which the spiced vinegar
is made may be used as a garnish by
mixing them in the pickle.
An excellent spiced vinegar is
made by filing a wide-mouthed bot
tie or a fruit jar to within two inches
of the top with spiced plants of diff
ferent kinds, such as slices of horse
radish and onions, umbels of dill, ripe
seed of white mustard and celery
green seed Of nasturtiums, fine stem
and leaves of tarragon, basil, anC
sweet marioram. A pod of red pep
per may also be added. The bottle
or jar is then filled with vinegar
heated to 1G0 degrees f., corked o.
sealed and left for about three
weeks. At the end of the three
weeks, strain the vinegar and fill ir
small bottles. Cork and seal with
melted paraffin or sealing wax.
