LAMB AND MUTTON.

The difference of a few cents in the
cost OF pound of meat frequently
determines whether that meat appears
on the table in many households. Yet
that difference of few cents just as
frequently is caused by the limited
knowledge OF the housewife of the meat
which she desires.
Take the cost of mutton and lamb;
it is regarded as high. But the average
housewife who so regards it speaks only
in terms of chops and hind quarters.
The fore-quarter Of mutton is just as
dainty, just as full Of flavor, just as
eatable in every way if it is properly
prepared. 1t is also many cents cheaper
per pound. Ss
s8 4 Your butcher, if he is up-to-date,
knows how to bone and roll a shoulder
Of lamb or mutton so that it may be cut
into Saratoga chops or made into a roast
Of unusual sweetness.
II Breeders Of sheep have paid more
attention to raising a better Favored
meat in the last few years, and their
efforts show clearly in the resulting
product.
Some objectors to lamb and mutton tor
say that they cannot eat it because OF
the woolly taste, and that they know OF Of
no way to remove it. That is merely

THRIFT PLANS PERFECTED.

A movement has been started by the.
government to encourage saving among
the people of this country In the
campaign to be launched the people
are to be taught that it is wrong to com
NIT waste of any kind. The nation as
whole has been wasteful and has given
no thought for the future and the time
has come when it seems imperative
that the father, the mother and the boys
and girls must be taught the necessity
of saving.
It is planned to sell thrift and $500
war savings stamps that will draw 4 per
cent interest, compounded monthly.
These are to be place on sale in every
post Office in the United States. eth
scheme is to work like the thrift and
war savings stamps were sold last year,
with this exception that there will be
no drive, but a continual campaign of
education in which the saving idea is to
be emphasized all the year round.
Last Tuesday morning meeting was
held at Sleepy Eye for the purpose of
organizing the campaign in Brown
County. Frank R. Lobdell of Mime
apolis, representative of the Treasury
was present and presented the pro-
position and explained at length the
aims of the government.
An organization was perfected for
Brown County with Rev. F. P. Werner
as County Chairman and Hans Mo as
Vice Chairman. The following will

where he was considered the official
barber of the city.
Many of the old time BARRIERS of this
part Of. the state owe their early training
in the art of handling razor to Mark
Cain. One of these apprentices was Dr.
Vogelpohl Of Mankato, considered the
dean Of Minnesota BARRIERS. Since then
the doctor has acquired a magnificent
vocabulary and a general knowledge of
affairs that rivals that of most county
seat politicians. But in the days of his
youth, Doc was quiet and unassuming.
The story is told Of how Mark Cain had
him perched on the detached foot rest
Of barber chair one day for the pur-
pose of observing. Vogelpohl dropped
into peaceful sleep and fell to the floor.
This is, undoubtedly the only time that
the Mankato barber ever went to sleep
on the. job.
Gradually improving in ability and
taste, Cain finally removed from New
Ulni to Sleepy Eye, where he opened
shop in the rear Of the building now
occupied by Henry Gehrke. During
his regime here, Jack Kiefer was one
of his assistants.
When Mark Cain was here thirty
years ago he couldn't read or write his
own name. But in his letter to Mr.
Pickle the other day he said he had since
learned to write.
'"This is my own handwriting" he
wrote mark Cain. y - Sleepy Eye Herald

CONCERT SET FOR APRIL :


The spring concert of the Hofmeister
band will be held Wednesday, April so, at
the armory, according to an announce
ment made yesterday. It has been
decided to add some vocal selections
to the program of the band, which
undoubtedly will prove a special attract
ion for the music lovers of New Ulm.
The concert will be followed by dance.
The business men of Redwood Falls
have decided to raise :$1,800 for a
band leader, 81, 500 already having been
subscribed. The people at Redwood
Falls apparently know what good band
means to the town and act accordingly.
Dr.. Otto Seifert, recently elevated
to the rank Of Major in the A. E. F.
and who is still in charge of an American
hospital train, intends to remain in
France for while and study at the
University of Paris before he returns

in a letter received by his parents,
