 Bread and butter grows monotonous but when sprinkled with bit of grated maple sugar or layer of bright jelly, it is seldom refused.
 Baked apples, baked pears, baked bananas, as well as baked potatoes, are all good food.

 Plain bread and butter cut in fancy shapes with cookie cutters and gar nished in various ways.
 Baked custards, favored with cara mel, tapioca with apple, rice with dates.

The budget plan is a sort of blue print of what one proposes to do with the funds at command. The builder can do his work properly only with suitable plans before him. The differ ence between the structure erected with plan and that erected without one is great. The difference between the results of an income administered according to system and those spent at random is one of just about the same degree. To attempt to work without a we1l-formulated plan, means a haphazard and unsatisfactory result

They ate from plates of white enameled ware, on a hoard table covered with oil cloth, but the food was appetiZing, and the man. her of serving it much more to Riles liking than that to which he had been subjected for some days. The meat was fresh and tasty; and the bread and butter were all that could be de- sired, and the strong, hot tea. with out milk but thick with sugar, com pleted meal that was in every way satisfactory.
 Riles' eyes. when not on his plate, were busy taking in the surroundings. The log walls were hung With memen- tOes some of earlier days and some of other lands, and throughout the big room was strange mixture of ele- gance and plainness. At one end were rows of shelves, with more books than Rlles had ever seen, and above stood a small piece of statuary worth the price of many bushels of wheat.
 After the meal Gardiner drew a couple of chairs up to the table, opened a drawer, and produced writing mate rials. '"We can't get letter away to Harris any too soon. So hitch your self to that pen there and let us see what kind of a hand you are at fic- tion."

 Gardiner read the letter carefully, suppressing his amusement over Riles' wrestlings with the language, and finally gave his approval.
 Now, you must make copy of it." he said. Its only business to have a copy. That was fine touch of yours about going back to sell your own farm. I believe you have some inn agination after all, if it only had chance to sprout."
 Rifles protested about the labor of making a copy, but Gardiner insisted. and at last the work was completed. The sound of galloping hoofs was heard outside, and a cowboy from a neighboring ranch called at the door to ask if there was anything wanted from town. Here's your chance to mail your letter." Gardiner called to Riles with unnecessary lOudness. "Nfr. Rifles dropped in here to write let ter" he explained to the rider.
 Having with much difficulty folded his epistle until 1t could be crumpIed into an envelope, Rifles sealed. stamped. and addressed it, and moment later the dust was rising down the trail as the cowboy bore the fatal missive to town.

The Horse of Thirty-FiVe.

Study of the relation between the to- tai length of life and the time required to reach maturity has brought out an interesting comparison between men and horses. A horse at five years old Is said to be. comparatively. as old as man at twenty, and doubtless may be expected to behave. according to equine standards, after the manner of the average college student following human standards. A ten-year-old horse resembles, so far as age and ex- perience go. man of forty, while horse that has attained the ripe age of thirty-five is comparable with man of ninety-New York Evening Post.

Prices Steady
I'm Dull Market:
Trade Slower
Volume of Transactions De-
ciines as Covering Move
nent Ends; Moderate
X act ION i'm Stocks

Despite the shrlnkage in volume OF
activity and the diminution of the i'm.
| pulses making for an upward movement
OF quotations yesterday. compared with
Tuesday, prices remained steady. With
the market largely under the sway OF
professional spectators the changed
/ tone OF the marketplace indicated that
/ the covering efforts of the previous day
had for the time being spent their
force.
/ Although there was less avid bidding
! for securities there was no important
change perceptible in the psychological
background of the trading public. After
the squirt on the two previous days
this week the average of twenty rail
road shares reacted moderately from
$500 to 6275, and the mean price of
thirty industrial bonds fell from 6S.4S
to $3.50. Transactions were scarcely
two-thirds as large as on Tuesday.
Sentiment regarding the railroad
crisis changed slightly, with the execu-
tives apparently unwilling to adjust
their program, and with the nature of
the first days hearing before the Rail-
road Labor Board inconclusive. OBJ
servers are still focusing attention on
the sessions Of the Chicago board and
if that body fails to bring about can
collation. of the strike order, will turn
their eyes to Washington for leader
ship. There was an intimation in rail-
road banking quarters that the Ad-
ministration would not intervene except
through the Labor Board. The steadi-
ness of stocks indicated no fear as to
the outcome of the dispute between
railroad labor and management, but
there was a tendency to focus ewes on
the proceedings rather than INDULGE in
predictions. The statement Of the Labor
Board that the docket was so full that
requests for new wage cuts could not
be taken up until next July, was dis
turbing to some, who deem further
downward readjustments Immediately
necessary.
There were moderate reactions in
the foreign exchange and commodity
markets, also. Sterling cables closed
at s3.94A, off q, and the Continental
exchanges were easier. Notwithstand-
ing the ginning report, which seemed
favorable to prices, cotton quotations,
rejecting an absence of trade or specu-
lative buying, declined 41 to Sc points.

u. S. Steel's Report

Needless to say that the report of
the Steel Corporation for the Septem-
Der quarter was a pleasant surprise to
the Street, because of the fact that
the net earnings were larger than had
been generally expected. With the com
pany able to show nearly $4,000, 900
of earnings in face of the severe de-
preston that was felt in July and the
early part of August, the consensus
was that income for the last quarter
will show up to much better advantage
in view of the improvement in opera
tions. The corporations subsidiaries
are now operating at an average of SO
per cent of capacity, the highest rate
since last spring. In July the rate
dropped to 20 per cent, and an average
of about 27 per cent for the third quar-
ter. New business is said to be COM
ing in at the rate Of u 900 to $4,000
tons a day, the highest rate since last
winter. 1t was said yesterday that
since the reduction in the price of steel
rails, from SAT TO $40 a ton, the cor
poration's subsidiaries have secured
orders for between $4,000 and 100000
tons of rails from Southern and South
western roads for 1922 delivery. Fur
ther large orders are expected soon.
Export business is also improving. One
order recently taken by the United
States Steel Products Company calls
for 1000 tons of rails for the Far East.

Coco Cola Dividend Talk

Although the general list was sub
jected to considerable profit taking
and new short selling in the final hour
of yesterdays trading, Coco Cola was
one of the issues that held most of its
early advance. There has been bulky
short interest in this stock, and talk
that by December the company may be
ready to resume dividend payments
caused a good many to cover before
the day was over. In April, 1920, a
dividend of 81 quarterly was paid on
Coco Cola common, and another at the
same rate was paid in the subsequent
quarter. Last spring, when the COM
pany had to make heavy write-of
against high priced sugar on hand, div
idends on the preferred were deferred,
but were resumed few weeks ago
with the declaration of semi-annual
disbursements of $3.50 share. 1t is
said that the company will be all out
out of its high priced sugar next
month.

Rumored Anglo.American Deal

The Anglo-American Oil Company
the Standard Oil marketing organiza-
ton in Great Britain, has secured
control of the Export Oil Corpora
tion, according to reports yesterday
The latter concern markets abroad the
output of numerous rehners in the
mid-continent field, and, according to
dispatches from Chicago, is now max
ing an inventory. Control of the Ex-
port Oil Corporation would mean an
extension of the Anglo-American's &C
tivities, which have been confined
chiefly to Great Britain, to France,
England and Belgium. The Export
Oil Corporation has been controlled
by q group headed by Eugene Con-
stain and Elmer E. Schock, presidents
of the Constantin Refining Company
and the Indiahoma Refining Company,
respectively. A one-third interest in
the company is owned by the Pure
Oil Company.
