THE CAR HEAVILY LADEN
But pr. C. A. Campbell and Family of
 Ten Arrived 0. K.

Dr. c. A. Campbell, who recently bought the fine old D. H. Hopkins farm at Bethesda Springs, reached his home Wednesday evening, May 5, &C., companied by Mrs. Campbell and their nine sons and daughters, rang ing in ages from 16 years down. They came from Center Point, Howard county, and in the coming is story.
 When they planned to move it was expected to hire teams and wagons to bring their household goods, but found difficulty in securing such assistance, with the result that most of these were loaded at Nashville and came by local freight It then was decided to put flew things" on the family car, new Overland 4, and drive thru, the older boys taking turns driving three valuable cows. A blacksmith provided irons and attached a big box where the spare tire was supposed to hang. This was filled with necessities, and a washtub for foodstuffs strapped on top. Then the space between the seats was packed with grips and pack ages, bale of hay attached to one running board and sack of chops to the other. and the father and children and seven children piled on top. The springs fiattened out, but held. The estimated weight of the "dunnage" was 1000 pounds, and of the live freight-well there was load of nine, headed by the doctor, who prob ably weighs 200 pounds, and readers can guess the rest.
 And the car and it's burden came thru without a slip or even puncture, and when unloaled the springs came back to original shape and the car was being driven about town as chipper as ever Thursday.

to put it away in the refrigerator.
Now that sounds all plausible enough.
No one would dispute the fact that
refrigerator in which the food has
all been put away on special white
enamel dishes would be a better kept
refrigerator than one in which there
was a half-consumed mold of jelly
put away on the cut-glass dish in
which it was served and in which
meat that had come from the market
was put away on a nicked platter that
had been discarded from dining room
use and in which various sorts of
kitchen plates. saucers and bowls
served as the containers for the other
food therein stored.
But-somehow there is usually a

us by some housewifery experts who
work out most of their theories in a

find time to put every little leftover
on a special dish and moreover as in

there. but If he was there something
dreadful would surely happen. Chat
terer climbed I'D the nearest tree
and then hurried through the tree tops
after that hunter and all the time his
tongue was going as fast as he could
make it 60.
Hunter! Hunter" he shrieked.

Now. everybody in the Green Forest
knows that warning cry Of Chatterer's.
Even the hunter knew what it meant,
though, of course. he didn't understand

maker" growled the hunter. He 10

Rusty did run. The hunter saw him
and just as Rusty sprang to the trunk
of big tree and whisked around to the
other side the terrible gun roared. and
Chatterer saw bits Of bark fly from that
tree Then, with a feeling Of wonder
full relief, he saw what the hunter failed
to see, Rusty slip into hole high up
in the trunk Of that tree. But his
quick eyes saw. too, something that

C0RNMEAL WISDOM.

To almost all Europeans coming to
this country cornmeal dishes Of va
rious sorts stand out as so different
from anything they have in their ma
tional dietary that they are inclined
to think Of cornmeal as the great
American food. The Italian is per-
haps the one exception. for he has
long been acquainted with the cult
nary possibilities Of the meal of In
dian corn; in fact, polenta, which
really does not differ very much from
New England hasty pudding, is usual
ly looked upon as the national dish
OF the Italian-at least of the lower
class Italian. who can afford little
meat, and has small variety In vege-
tables.
The very quality Of cornmeal that
makes it less desirable for summer,
makes it especially desirable for win
ter. It Is a warmth-giving food. ad-
mirably adapted for a winter morn
ing's breakfast. You yourself may
ind the flavor Of simple cornmeal
like it, and il it 10 very thoroughly
cooked. it is as wholesome as any
other cooked cereal.
1t 10 pointed out by an authority Of
the Department Of Agriculture that
most of the well known dishes made
largely from cornmeal. such as scrap
pie, hasty pudding. STAMP and CO."
and polenta, had their origin in
times when life was much simpler
than 1t is at present, and when fewer
dishes were served at q meal"
But these dishes have toothsome-
ness that recommends them to US
still. and though we would soon tire
Of a diet consisting az largely Of
cornmeal as was som times neces-
sary In pioneer or colonial days. there
10 hardly an American family in which
more cornmeal could not be added to
tho winter dietary to advantage.

Can you make gruel?" she snapped.
"Oh, yes, that's one thing 1 can

"Tll make some cruel for you

sagged into a chair and smiled lit
tle-a thing she seldom did.
How does your mother make
gruel?" she said.
"Oh. it takes a lot Of cooking" said
the child. I'VE put a pint of water
in kettle. and salt it little and put
one big heaping spoonful of rolled
oats into it when it is boiling. And

The Real Chatterer.

Some good folks want the world to know II
While some are good but hate to show 1t.
-Chatterer the Red Squirrel
Chatterer the Red Squirrel is noisy, a
mlschief-maker. quick tempered. delights
to make trouble for others and at times
seems to have no good in him. He seems
to delight in appearing to be as bad as
possible. But. like good many other
people, he has more good than bad in
him. He simply doesn't like to show
it. You will find many people are like
that
AS he watched the hunter with the
terrible gun slowly walking toward the
hickory tree where Rusty the Fox
Squirrel probably was busy laying in
supplies for the winter. Chatterer lis
tened to the tempter and kept his tongue
still. He knew that il that hunter
should find Rusty there it would prob
ably be the end of Rusty, and he tried
to make himself believe that he would
be glad. Yes, sir he tried to make
himself believe that he hated Rusty and
would be glad If he were killed.
So he kept his tongue still and
watched the hunter. In a few minutes
the hunter would be where he could see
that hickory tree. Chatterer could
