Savory Drippings

It is almost universally conceded that cooked vegetables require the addition cf fat to be at their best. and that no fat seems so suitable as butter for seasoning them if on the texture of the dish and the flavor rests the decision. Many fani- lies. however, are practicing thrift in the use of food which, they purchase and are varying. the vegetable seasoning. One of the best fats for seasoning vegetable dish is sweet savory drippings.
 Not all meats supply fats that are sa- vory in the sense in which the word is employed here, but the fats from fried sausages. ham, bacon, and pork and from roast pork, veal. and chicken, may be employed alone or in combination for this
 purpose. Some fats have q flavor which comes from the seasoning as in sausage, from the smoke as in ham and bacon, and from the brown material as in roast meat
 which is agreeable to the plate. The fats skinned from the water in which poul- Ltry has been boiled and the fat skinned
 from the graviesof most roast meats may be clarified and employed also in a prepa- ration of vegetables for the table. Great
 care must be taken that all of these fats are sweet and clean and that the tempera- ture at which they are fried out shall not be so high as to impair the flavor
 Burned or scorched fat is not only un- pleasing in flavor,~ tut is a frequent cause of indigestion.
 When rendering trimmings of fat meat
 the home economies kitchen of the De partment of Agriculture recommends that a small onion or shallot (uncuD, few leaves of summer savory. and teaspoon of salt and pepper be added to make a savory dripping of pleasant flavor. This amount of seasoning is enough for hail la pirft of fat Drippings should be kept covered in cool, dry place.

COMMUNITY CLUBHOUSES

. In the c1ubhouses in smaller towns, Tn addition to the rooms mentioned, there
 are often library, reading room. for various organizations
 The clubhouses in the county seats and larger towns are more pretentious, some having special banquet rooms, gymnaN-
 ums( swimming pools, billiard rooms and offices for the county agent and for local commercial club secretaries The follow ing is a partial list of the varied uses to which these buildings are put: Lec- lures, night school classes, home talent entertainments, dances, banquets. sociais, political meetings, elections, indoor ath-
 letic games, welfare work. boys and girls club work, domestic science classes and demonstrations, agricultural society meetings, farmers institutes and CO., operative purchasing and marketing ac- tivities.
 The persons owning stock in a com munity building generally constitute themselves a community building associa- ton and frequently take out articles Of incorporation, giving them power to buy land, borrow money and erect and con trol the club building. Observation-Disclosures using the structure are associated with
 them as social members. Individuals in both groups pay dues.
 The stockholders, and m some instances the associate or social members, elect a
 board of trustees of from three to nine members who manage the building. This same body, or the board elects the usual officers, such as president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Various com
 mittees are either appointed or elected. The details of management are often dele- gated to a house secretary, a phys1cal
 director or a caretaker. 1ns a few in-'
 stances where buildings have been pre-
 sented by an individual or an industrM
 concern, control is placed in select
 board nominated by the donor and posses
 sessing power to appoint it's successors.
 Township and city buildings are man.
 aged by the usual officials.
 In the case of simpler buildings, nain-
 tenance expense range in general from
 5 to 10 per cent of the initial cost of the
 plant, the expenditures being chiefly for
 light and heat, while in the case of those involving larger maintenance costs there are added water rent, telephone and sSl- aries for secretary, physical director, caretaker or librarian. Funds for main tenance are secured through one or sev-
 eral of the following: Dues, rental fees.
 assessments, receipts from entertain-
 ments, from dances, from moving pie
 tures from pool and billiards, and in the
 case of publicly constructed buildings,
 from the public treasury.

 At the Lyric for this week end. Faulk- ner's Miniature Review" is the head line act, but the other four Keith acts vie so closely that it might be called an all-star bill. The picture play attraction is Tom Moore, in 'Tobys Bow"

LOCAL SAILOR TELLS
 OF STORM AT SEA

The story of the experiences of the crew of the American schooner Bloomington in
 a gale in the Mediterranean sea. when four men lost their lives was related in
 a. letter received yesterday by Mrs. s. E..
 Carson of Woodlagn from ner son Harry Edward Carson, member of the crew. The Bloomington, -on it's way rom Stax, a seaport town of Tunis, sighted the schooner Manuel Bampa Of Baree- lona," he said. There was an appear ance of mystery about the vessel and it was discovered that she had been aban- doned. The ship was found to have a valuable cargo aboard estimated at 50,OOl pounds. A prize crew was placed on board consisting of the chief officer, J. F. Weldon and four hands.
 The schooner was taken in tow and very soon gale, said to be the worst in fifty years by old-time sailors, sprung up, and 1t was discovered that the Manuel
 Bampa was leaking very badly. MT. Vel don decided to cut the tow rope with his
 razor and then signaled to the Blooming ton to stand by. However the signals
 were not observed, the Bloomington pro-
 ceeding on it's way. and the other schoon- CT went down, leaving the members of the crew on board to drift about in the
 water.
 "The Bloomington had gone about ten
 miles before it was discovered that the schooner had been cut loose, and we then went back to investigate. We discovered an oar sticking up out of the water and
 found MT. Weldon floating on it. so took him aboard. He was exhausted, having been in the water for several hours, while the other members of the crew were lost. It was terrible experienc and l never want to go through another like it.'
 Mir. Carson was reared in Birmingham and has many friends in this city who will be glad to learn he expects to return to this city in a few weeks.

Farm Labor Efficiency

Are the man-labor requirements of the
 productive enterprises of the farm as organized sufficient to make the best
 utilization of the time of thef regular
 men necessary to operate the farm?
 ''If on a given farm we find the num-
 Der of days necessary to do, the contract and miscellaneous day wage work and Der of days work required by all the be the number of productive days work required of the regular men of the farm. If we divide this number of produc- tive days work required of the regular men of the farm by the number of days mand, we will get number expresNins the percentage of efficiency with which lEeir time has been utilized. For example, gorup of five best farms has an average of 4.S regular men per farm. These men had total of 1 1016 days available for field work. There was a total of LISA days work fequired by the productive enterprises ~ these, 512 were cared for by contract and mis- cellaneous hired and family labor, leav- | ing 671 days for the regular men. This means PIP days available per regular man of which 140 days or 6 per cent were re quired for and utilized on productive en- terprises. <@Ths is the system used by faffn man lagement specialists of the United States
 department of agriculture in arriving al
 the percentage of efficiency attained il 1 the use of man labor.
