OLD PIONEER RESIDENT
VISITING HERE
Dick Griggs Relates Inter
esting Incidents of
Pioneer Days.

Dick Griggs, an old settler of
Extra but who moved away many
years ago, is here visiting his niece,
Mrs. John l. Hensley, and family
and other relatives and friends.
Dick Griggs and his brother,
John, who now makes his home
in Audubon, were active partici-
pants in the events of Audubon
county during the 70s and well into
the Sos. During that period they
practiced law in Extra under the
firm name of Griggs & Griggs.
His home was where E. G. Will
son now lives but the house has
been torn away and a more modern
structure has taken its place.
Dick says he planted the large trees
which stand in the Wilson yard.
Miss Flora Statzell, now Mrs.
John /. Hensley, lived with her
uncle and her marriage took place
at his home.
Dick Griggs moved away from
Extra nearly thirty-fve years ago.
His home is in Kansas and we un-
derstand he is still following the
legal profession. Thirty-hve years
is long time, almost an average
lifetime, but friendships made un-
der pioneer conditions are not
easily forgotten and he is kept
busy greeting old time friends and
talking over events Of long ago.

Planning the Meals

Dinner should preferably be in
the middle of the day. An ideal
dinner should consist of soup,
meat or eggs, vegetables, bread
and butter and dessert.
Clear soups or broths have very
little nourishment. Soups for chill
dren should be made from dried
peas or beans, or with fresh vege-
tables such as potato, spinach, car
rots, peas and onions. Such soups
with the addition of rice or barley
and a small amount of milk make
very nourishing dish.
Meat should be given only once
a day, and not in great quantity
Lean beef, mutton, lamb, chicken
and such fish as cod, haddock and
hallbut but not salt or dried fish.
AS a rule cold meat should be
avoided by young children because
it is rarely chewed properly.
Vegetables should form a large
part Of the diet, especially in sum
mer. Bread and butter should al.
ways be given.
Dessert is not essential if plenty
OF bread is given. When given ii
should always be plain and simple
The wholesome desserts are cerea
puddings with fruits such as rice
oatmeal, baked Indian or breac
pudding or plain cookies or cake
and cocoa or fruit custards, Jun.
kets, ice cream OF ices, stewed dry
or fresh fruit, sliced orange or sweet
chocolate.
Highly seasoned food is usual,
preferred by the children, but simp
Ter food is much more wholesome.

OUR WEATHER EYE
A Loud Noise Needed

We may now add to the party
platforms the statements of the
presidential nominees in their ac-
ceptance speeches in our effort to
discern the true attitude of each of
the two big parties toward agricul-
ture and the people who live by it.
In the light Of these speeches,
the republicans still seem to be
standing most strongly for the
principles which are of greatest i'm
portance to farmer. As stated in
a recent article, they alone are def
nltely committed to these three
vital reforms by the terms of their
platform:
~ An end to price fixing as re-
lated to farm products.
(2) Farm representation in gov
ernmental commissions.
81 Adequate facilities for trans
porting, handling and marketing
food.
MIR. Cox has in his recent speech
subscribed to the second ana third
of these principles, though in a
manner that seems to be rather
half-hearted. In fact, the impress
sion that one gets from his discus
sion of agriculture in this speech is
that he either does not understand
the problems of the farming classes
or is not very deeply interested in
them. In this respect, the speech
is distinct disappointment though
1T contained much that is COM
mendable in connection with other
crucial problems Of the day.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hard
lng's speech seems to ring true to
the farmers interests. Journal
readers will endorse fully the words
quoted below from his discussion
OF the problems and achievements
OF the American farmer:
His helpers have yielded to the
lure Of shop and city, until, almost
alone, he has met and borne the
burden of the ONLY INSISTENT
ATTEMPTS TO FORCE DOWN
PRICES. 1t challenges both the
wisdom and the justice of artificial
drives on prices to recall that they
were effective almost SOLELY
against his products in the hands
of the producer and NEVER eff
fective against the same products
in passing to the consumer.
Journal readers have found pre-
clsely tne same view expressed IN
this column before; but 1T is re-
freshing to find presidential can
didate who not only sees the truth
but discusses it openly, leading up
finally to this promise:
"Our platform is an earnest
pledge of renewed concern for this
most essential and elemental in
dustry; and in both appreciation
and interest, we pledge effective
expression in law and practice
Our Weather Eye tells US that
the republicans have the better Of
the argument so far from the
standpoint Of the farmers, and that
if the democrats really want the
agricultural vote they should be
stirring themselves in the Middle
West and making a noise that
some of their candidates can hear.
