Cover Five Miles in Thirty Davs.

Just as the argument of economic
necessity may be used by Belgium
in advancement of her claims for the
Scheldt. just so can they do the same
in claiming control of the Terneuzen-
Ghent canal, part of which goes
through Dutch territory with the re-
suit that. the Belgians claim, they are
forced to undergo great handicaps
in commerce to and from Ghent. The
Liege-Antwerp canal also runs
through Dutch territory at Meas

able to exercise unfair advantage
over this important trade route. 1t
is declared that owing to certain

my slumbers by cherry voice under
my window which " me PLAINLY SAID

repeated over and over again as my
drowsy intellect slowly aroused At

1t during the nIght snd shook OF the
"cowbebs" when had gathered. When
/ became a4ert to what was going
on about me realized with Joy that
the sweet singer was Jenny Wren
and that she was telling me clearly
that sne was going to stay with me
is the same Gear saucy little bird
that 1 had entreated TO stay here
some time ago. ! was almost sure
she was going to stay for every day
and almost every hour since inNt-
ed her to stay have heard her cher
ry song from the trees and shrub
berry. She didn't inform me. this
morning, however, just where she had
located herself but seemed to think
that | should be satisfied with mere
ly knowing that she was staying.
Another member of my household
tried to disilluslon me by saying that
tho dear little wren had said stay
There; Stay There" instead. of stay
Here" and tried to use this as an
excuse TO slumber longer. but 1 be-
lieve 1 interpreted my little frAad
right.
These little wrens arc among tho
tiniest of our native birds and their
song is one of the most melodious,
being sweet. clear and varied. They
are spunky little fellows too ami
hold their own when molested by tn
larger birds. Certain species of the
wren family winter in this section
and ang time during the coolest wea-
ther you can hear their songs. They
are friendly and prefer to build close
TO the house under the caves or be
meath porch roofs. They are said to
often build in tin cans hung on fence
rails or in sheds and out houses.

in recent years for candy kisses so
strong was the longing within me for
a taste Of these goodies.
They were the sugar coated kind
with a hard shiny substance in the
center which when was q child 1
was wont to place upon my finger
for ring setting so closely did they
resemble the topaz stone commonly
used as a ring set. The only thing
disappointing about them however
was the fact that they did NOT con-
tain the sentimental couplets that
they did when l used to delight in
devouring them. Such verses as
Sugars Sweet and SO are you" "it
you love me as love you no knife
can cut our love in two" and many
similar sentiments were printed on
strips and placed inside these wrap
pers. Sometimes an especially ten
der sentiment was cut in two probably
due to careless shipping with the
scissors by those employed to insert
the sentimental couplets.

Peach cobbIer.

Did you ever eat an old fashioned
peach cobbler? Well II you never did
/ hope that treat is yet in store for
you, for tfSre Is no concoction in my
estimation can rival it not even the
favorite strawberry shortcake. Now
adays expert cooks make what they
call peach cake" These are made
by sinking peaches cut in half into
rich cake batter prepared for their
reception and baking much as you
would real cake. They are then
served with cream whipped to a stiff
froth and they're delicious too, but
fashioned peach cobbler.
These cobblers which our mothers
were taught to make by their mothers
are made by rolling out good rich
pie dough and lining a deep tin pan
with it. then placing in this pastry
lined pan, ripe peaches, then another
layer of pastry is placed over the
top OF the pan pressed down, cut and
slashed on the top in order that su-
perfluous steam may escape and bak-
ed in hot even. When done It Is
eaten with cream.
remember when a child that I
paid a visit to a relative not far dis

famous for her peach cobblers and in
