EVERYDAY FOODS.

A NICE way to cook pork chops
"A for busy day is to place them
over a pan of thnly sliced potatoes,
seasoning well with salt and pepper,
bake until the chops are well done,
and serve from the baking dish. The
moisture in the potatoes and the fat
in the pork will be sufficient to make
the dish of the right consistency.
Even small family may enjoy a
dish of sauerkraut by covering a
quart of kraut with slice of nice
pork steak; usually there is very lit
tie salt needed; bake until the steak
and kraut are well cooked. Long, slow
cooking of at least three hours makes
a fine we'll seasoned dish. Another
way of cooking kraut is TO roll a nice
spare rib around it and bake long and
slowly, adding salt if needed, and
pepper to taste.

BOOKSELLING

me of the best known and most
in this country went on record recent
ly, In a speech made before the Wom-
ems National BOokselling association,
as believing that an era of great ex-
pansion for the small bookshOp is at
hand, and he added that he thought
women were particularly suited to
take large part in this expansion.
~ think that many women who have
worked as librarians would make first
class booksellers and l think that Il
good business woman could not do
better than put her money into a
small book shop in any of the thou
sands of towns throughout America
where there is no such shop at pres
ent." He added that there was al
ways better chance of succeeding
with a bookstore in a town that had
a public library, than in one where
there was no such institution.
Yet it is possible for a clever woman
to so arrange things that her little
store will become an attraction even
in a neighborhOod that has not yet
acquired taste for reading. Special
programs and lectures could be ar
ranged for in the shop; there should
be a carefully thought out plan by
which to attract the children; there
might be poster displays that would
strike the popular fancy. The thing
to do is to get people to come to the
store i'm the first place, by any means
that will seem effective. The actual
buying of books would come later, but
it would come.
Let the women get in now" said
the speaker, "for we are at the begin
ming of an important and interesting
expansion of retail booksell'ng. The
more bookstores there are, the better
each will do, for book buying is a
progressive disease. Once you catch
II. you can never shake it Off The
field is tremendous, and there isn't
more interesting profession in the
world"
The line forms at tho right-don't
crowd, please.

THE WOODS
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
BACK ON THE JOB.

THIS is the time of the bust-up,
l. This is the end of the trail;
Though your icin' you do,
Still the ground will come through
An your icin' an cussin' will fail.
The caves are a-drippin' at midnight
An out of the south comes sob
You kin talk about loss
All you like, Mister Boss,
But Spring has got back on the job.
You kin rave all you like of the timber
Tibet lays In the woods at the stump,
You kin swear, you will haul
Evry stick of 1t all
To the road an the bank an the
dump,
But she's got all creation ag'in you,
The sun an the wind an all that,
An she'll bust ev'ry road
An she'll stand ev'ry load
An your timber will stay where
It's at.
You ought to know somethin' Of
woman
You've seen her both single an wed |;
You know you can't stir
Any notion in her
When once 1t gifts into her head.
But, of all of the contrary women,
Miss Spring is the worst Of the lot {;
When you want her to freeze
She will thaw, If you please
An she'll freeze when you're wantin'
it hot.
No use to dispute with heifer
Err argue case with a skirt;
If Spring wants to thaw,
Neither reason ner law
VIII keep her from dom you dirt.
It's will er it's won't with woman
She says when she won't er she will
You kin talk till you're black
In the face, but the shack
VIII be bossed by the petticoats still
We think we're her lord an her
master,
She swears she will love an obey,
We think we're the head
OF the house, as she said
We would be when we bore hei
away.
But a month or so after the weddin'
When honeymoon season is flown,
She quits sayin' dear
An she gifts on her ear
An she kicks us plumb off of the
throne.
It's likewise up here in the timber;
We think We are runnin' the thing
We're falling the trees
An we're maxim il freeze
But all Of sudden it's Spring.
Then it's mix up walk fer tn,

An can the whole mackinaw mob
No use fer the boss

OBITUARY

Portland, Ore-The funeral of
Ernest Stenberg, youngest son of
Mrs. John Okerson, was held in this
city July ~, 1921. Ernest was born
in Kensington, Mimi, January 20,
1895, and passed away July 1891.
He leaves mother in Portland,
two brothers, Victor of Denver, Colo,
and Nels OF Lebanon, Ore. He, with
his mother, came to Portland in jan
uary 1920, hoping the low altitude
would be benefit to his health, bu.
heart disease had progressed too Ear
and he gradually grew worse. Nine
days before his death his right side
became paralized, and he was unable
to speak after that His sufferings
increased as death drew nearer. He
was unusually blessed by having so
many relatives and friends with him.
His aunt, Mrs. Nels Trulson, who
his brother, Emil, was here to be
with his mother In caring for Ernest.
Relatives in attendance at his funer-
al were Mr.. and Mrs. Nels Trulson
OF Browns Valley, Mimi, Nels Stem
berg OF Lebanon, Ore, Mrs. Emil
Stenberg and son of Denver, Coo,
and Mr.. and Mrs August Halberg Of
Portland.
Though almost stranger here he
had faithful friends who were with
him constantly to the last. and casket
and grave were covered with beauti-
full floral pieces from friends in
Denver and those present at the flu
neral. Two beautiful solos were
rendered, ..The House Not Made
with Hands, and "Asleep in Jesus. .
Many friends sympathise with his
mother in her great sorrow. Inter-
ment in Rose City cemetery.-Con-

FORD PLANT BUILDS 1os,oe2
IN JUNE

Demand Exceeds Output as Ford
Breaks All Previous Records
During the month of June, the
Ford Motor Company, thru its De-
.roit factories and % assembly plants
throughout the country, reached the
production OF 10S,962 Ford cars and
trucks, setting up new high record
FOR one month.
Production of Ford cars ami
trucks has been steadily increasing
since early spring, and shows sub
stantial gains over the same period
last year. The second quarter of
1921, viz, April, May and June,
shows an output OF 301,796 Ford
cars and trucks against 22O,S7S for
the same three months of last year,
or net increase of SO,9ls.
Despite the fact, however, that the
Ford Plants have been running a.
maximum capacity, the demand for
Ford cars and trucks is not being
met, and at the present time, many
thousand untitled orders have been
piled up ahead SO that Ford sales are
still limited by manufacturing facil-
tiles rather than marketing POSSIBLE
tiles. Particularly is this true with
respect to enclosed cars, for which
the demand has been unusually
heavy.
One reason cited by Ford Oficia,s
for the unprecedented demand cor
Ford cars is the present tendency TO-
ward economy. Many Of those whose
names have been added to the long
list Of buyers might we'll have af-
forded larger and more costly cars
than the Ford, but it is the belief
that most prospective motor car
buyers are investigating all of the
costs incident to motoring much
more carefully than at any period
during the past five years.
The estimated output OF the Ford
Factories for July calls for 100000
cars and trucks, or a production Of
1850 day for 25 days. Since the
assembling Of cars is being handled
during an eight hour work day only,
the hourly output will be 545 cars.
In other words, one Ford car or
truck leaves the assembly line every
6 1-2 second. $50.

Railroad commissioners Of eleven
northwestern states are meeting i'll
Chicago this week to discuss freight
rates on grain. According to the
rate expert of the Minnesota railroad
and warehouse commission, the
freight rates on grains have advanced
from IS to 80 per cent, in period
in which farm product prices have
shrunk as much as 60 per cent. IN
other words, on the basis OF dollar
freight rates have gone upto $1.75,
while the average of grain prices has
gone down from $1.0O to as low as
40 cents. That alone is enough to
show why the railroad business is
not prospecting. The railroads must
get their rates down enough so that
shippers can afford to use them

RosHOLT COUPLE MARRIED
HERE "WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

Mr.. Cassius F. Shoemaker and
Miss Elvira England of Rosholt were
married by Justice Prindiville here
Wednesday afternoon, H. E. Axness
and Mrs. Mary NJ. Prindiville acting
as witnesses.
The groom is a young man Of
admirable qualities, and has many
friends in Sisseton, having played
ball last season with the local team.
He left here last summer and took
a similar position with the Rosho!t
team, and has since resided at that
place.
The bride is one Of Rosholt's
most popular young ladies, and while
we have not been favored to the ex
tent Of making the personal ac-
quaintance of the young lady, yet
we are certain that she is capable of
good choosing when it comes to Sc
lecting life partner.
We did not learn, but We suppose
the young couple will make their
home for the present at Rosholt.
The Standard joins their many
friends in wishing them every Joy
and happiness.

relating his experience with the
medicine.
For a good many years l had
such bad case of stomach trouble,
and was in such fear and dread my
food wouldn't agree with me that
couldn't enjoy meal. l suffered SO
from indigestion and bloating and
had such terrible pains up through
my chest that many times would
have given anything l possessed for
relief. Why, if 1 hadn't gotten hold
of Tanlac l believe would have been
goner altogether by now.
"Tanlac just keeps me going, for
it has not only fixed up my stomach
but it has given me good appetite
also. keep Tanlac on hand all the
time, and whenever feel myself
slipping it doesn't take the medicine
long to straighten me out again. 1t
keeps up my strength and weight.
and I'm now feeling better and look
ing better than 1 have in a long
time. Tanlac is the only medicine
that ever gave me relief, and I am
certainly lucky to have run across
lit. for it saves me all the suffering
and misery l had to endure before

MOTOR VS.. RAILROADS

Some time ago we told a little
story about how the railroads lost
100000 in freights because the on
ion farmers Of Taxes found that the
hauling charges by boat from Gal
weston, Texas to New York City werQ
about half what the railroads were
charging under their present uncon-
scionably high rates. The onions
just floated into New York. The
TEXAS farmers saved q lot OF money
and the railroads loss 100000 even
II they had only charged the boat
freight rate. "a. $1,000 4A.aiR~

ct Pineville, New York. 40 miles
from Kingston. and buys his goods
at Kingston. The railroad station
at Pineville is mile up hill from
Mr.. Hills store. The railroad charges
80 cents hundred for freight from
Kingston to Pineville and after that
there is the cost Of loading end haul
ing down that mile to the store. A
motor trucking concern now brings
Mr.. Hills goods from Kingston at
80 cents hundred and DELIVERS

country over and there will be more.
II the railroads don't wake up pretty
soon, the motor will take all the
profit there possibly can be in rail-
reading.
And 1t isn't rates alone that show
the backwardness Of railroad man
agement today. Not only are their
methods wasteful, but their very
fundamentals are unduly expensive.
