pie in an enlightened community like
this who would object to giving the

to us that some people are rude, and
others actually refuse to answer the
questions asked. In one instance, we
heard of woman who slammed the

Damage to the extent of $4,000
was done by frost to the crops in the
vicinity of Miami. 1t is very likely,
however, that many of the growers will
come again and make good money be-
fore the season is over. At the same
time, We are rather glad the people ir
this part of Florida do not largely
engage in growing such risky crops.
The slight cold, such as we are ex-
periencing, does no harm to citrus
fruits or trees, but rather benefits
them; and so our main product of
the soil is comparatively safe. Truck
ing is a gamble, and there is no place
In the United States where that IN

of damage by cold. Yet, on. the whole,
Florida farmers make money; and we

Cooking Your
'Oun Meals
BY Loretto G. Lynch,
An Authority on All Matters Per-
tainInR to Home Manage meBt.

IVIoRk is one Of the greatest
M blessings in life. And while
w can understand that there
are some women so gifted that IT is
better for the world that they do
work outside the home after mar
riage. nevertheless the place the
average married woman fills best is
that of mistress of her own home.
A woman who knits necessarily
was complaining to me about the
high cost OF living. She lives in
two-room nat with a kitchepettc.
Yet in the year she has been there,
she had never so much as lighted
the little gas range. And the child
and the husband had to go out, no
matter what the weather, to cat
restaurant meals.
! am thinking, too. OF married
woman with one child who believes
she is better off continuing to work
for $50 a week, although her hus-
band earns $50, than If she stayed
at home. 1t depends. or course,
she can use a weeks salary now
and then for a pair OF boots her
husbands salary could i'll permit
but she really keeps no home.
Every bite of food the little fam
lily eats is purchased at the res
taurant. And to the price of each
item there is, of course, added
proportionate amount of the salaries
of each of the help employed to
allow the food to come to her as it
is served.
And while restaurants may OBJ
tain lower price by buying in
quantity. nevertheless the differ
ence in the cost Of raw foodstuffs
is a negligible quantity, whether
purchased in family lots or res
taurant lots.
Have you ever thought. though,
how much labor II requires to bring
a cooked restaurant product to the
table? Among the items of expense
are tho wages of the one who Sc
lects the food. the cook, the dish
washer. the laundress. and the
waitress--not to mention such items
as the cost OF cleaning and lighting
the dining room and pantry and
kitchen, the cost of the fuel used In
cooking. brcakage, wear, and tear,
and lastly, the fact that the pro
prietor expects to make a profit on
his investment?
Yet the housewife with q deter
mination TO put down the high cost
can substitute her own services for
all the items OF expense mentioned
what difference does 1t make In
the great scheme of things whether
or not a few people whose opinions
are probably. not worth much. know
that you wear an extra fine pair of
shoes?
To found a home shows fine
spirit. And the really patriotic
thing for many OF us to do who
have been just talking about the
high cost, is to make some ringham
aprons and put aside the knitting
of those grotcsque sweaters-often
an offensc to the artistic eye.
Instead Of the expensive course in
gymnastics, a brisk walk to the
market each morning. basket on
arm, in search OF bargains. will
give some OF the needed exercise.
why. there Is real Joy In planning a
good home dinner. And then we
think of the happiness In the faces
OF these loved ones who have been
rescued from the formslity of the
restaurant, what child ever gets

An Alarming Threat.

One farmer met another farmer,
when both of them were driving In
n narrow country road in the deep
snow OF winter. Tho track was
only broken in, the center of tho
road, so that turning out was diffi-
cult When the two met, one
farmer said. with a clustering man
ner, 'if you don't turn out for me
I'll do to you what I did to the last
man who wouldn't turn out for
me-" Much alarmed. tho other
farmer pulled out in the deep snow
to let his belligerent neighbor pass.
When nc was back in tho road he
turned and said to the first farmer:
Tell me, ncighbor, what did you do
to the man who wouldn't turn out
for your" II turned out for him."
replied the hot-headed farmer.
