CORN BREAD AND SUGAR.

The Hugo News notes that recently
q theoretical cook who makes a living
by writing rather than cooking, pub
lished a formula for a new kind Of
cornbread. Commenting upon the
recipe, Col. George Bailey, leading man
on the editorial page Of the Houston
Post said with some heat: About that
cornbread recipe which includes three
fourths Of a cup Of sugar. Tell them
not to do It. Sugar in cornbread is
an abomination. It ought to be made
a crime. II violates every tradition Of
the south. It insults the palate. It
mocks the culinary art. When the
Lord made corn. He put all the sugar

Col. Henry Watterson, in retirement
near Louisville, saw this attack by
Bailey upon the newest vice, and
though more than so years Of age. the
intrepid colonel rushed to the side OF
the Texas CO )nel TO strengthen his
arm in the attack.
In a letter tc the Courler-Journal,
the Kentucky colonel, after quoting the
Texas colonel, says:

PULLMAN SHOP MEN MAY
GO ON GENERAL STRIKE

Washington, June IA strike ballot
by Pullman shop employees to be re-
turned next Friday morning, will decide
whether some 1900 men will quit
work, and possibly whether the sleep
ing car traffic Of the national will be
interrupted.
Harry Smith, chairman of the Pull
man system federation, today announc-
ed that such ballot was being taken,
and that tieup of the sleeping car
service was imminent. The ST. Louis
shops are already out, he said.
THE strike ballot was ordered" said
Mr.. Smith, because the Pullman COM
pany would not obey the decision of
the railroad labor board which order
ed the company and the employees to
confer with a view to an agreement on
rules and working conditions"
Mr., Smith in his statement accused
the labor board of holding up its de-
cision, until the company could smash
its labor organization"

FIFTEEN-YEAR OLD GIRL
TELLS OF MANNER SHE WAS

Cleveland, Ohio, June Hazel Shir-

Park, Michigan, reported kidnaped,
was located here by the police last
night at the home Of a relative of a
school chum.
The girl said she was approached by
a man while on her way from school
Thursday, who told her that unless she
accompanied him, her father who had
been involved in an unlawful transac-
tion, would be sent to Jail. After draw
ing some money from a bank, Hazel
accompanied the man to Cleveland on
the night boat.
The man left the girl on a downtown
corner and when he failed TO return
in few minutes, she communicated
with her friends, who notified her par

A LITTLE STRAIGHT, PLEASE.

We wish that all readers Of The
Daily Ardmoreite would carefully and
prayerfully peruse the editorial re-
marks Of Col. Henry Watterson rela-
tive to sugar in corn bread, an idea
which, he says is an abomination
fostered in fanatical New England
Colonel Wattrson belongs to the
old school of astronomical experts
He knows that there are gone things
which sugar improves, and other
things which sugar ruins. Corn bread
is one of the latter.
And, as Colonel Watterson could
doubtless tell you, there are other
things than cornbread which may be
helped by the addition of sugar only
when some other thing is also added
a sprig Of mint, for instance.
Now, even in this dry climate that
dryness aided and abetted and inten-
sified by the Volstead act, we cannot
see that taking sugar in it, unless a
little crushed mint is added, adds to
the enjoyment Of the tipple, or materi-
ally heightens the ticklings of the
palate.
In fact, we are told, taking sugar
in It Injuries the digestion and affects
the eyes, besides making the gait UNI
steady through its deleterious action
upon the locomotor organism.
We have frequently, in olden times,
seen two men standing where only
one should have been founded, after
having added only a spoonful Of sugar
to each of about a dozen and a half
drinks. Taken without sugar, straight,
if you please, we would have no diff
ficulty in counting three or maybe
four men in place of two, while as
much as a spoon and a half of sugar
with each drink, mint eliminated, has
produced a most annoying paralytic
effect 10 our legs, causing them to
wobble and refuse to track.
We suppose, therefore, that Colonel
Watterson is right about the addition
of sugar spelling corn bread. We know
that it spoils corn juice.

Caesar Misch Store
 Observes Anniversary

Twenty-nine years ago this month in October, 1S92-Caesar Misch opened up his first cheerful credit store. Today-in commemoration of the event-the local Caesar Misch store makes ready to celebrate the occasion in a most fitting manner, by an Anniversary Sale.
 When Caesar. Misch opened his first store in this city, he little dreamed that this was only the first cog in a wheel of stores that would take in the principal cities of New England. The following year-in 1S93-a second store was opened and in but a year or so ten thriving Caesar Misch stores were being operated in ten of the leading cities in Connecticut, Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
 The success that has ever remained with Mr. Misch's first venture in this city has been conspicuous and spec tacular. After being located in sev- era1 different ideal spots on Main street-a few years ago the firm pur- chased the entire holdings of Moss & Krieger, the largest competing busi-. ness to the Misch interests and the combined businesses were moved to

COUNTRYSIDE STIRRED BY FIRE
 AND BOMBlNGS
Pennsylvania County Fears Recurrence of Operations By the Black Hand.

Newcastle, Pa. Oct 7-Lawrence county authorities and the State Po- lice are investigating the incendiary destruction of the school house at Quaker Falls, near Hillsville, yester- day morning, fearing a season of ter rorism has begun in the HilIsville district. Two days ago dynamite was exploded on the front torches of the homes of Frank Cu1ucci and Mrs. Navarro in Hillsville and the dwell ings were partially destroyed. The entire town was aroused by the deto- nations. There was apparently no motive.
 The destruction of the school house this morning marks another crime in the same district. There was no fire in the school yesterday, so there is no doubt of incendiarism. The police theory is that the work has been done as a preliminary to demands by Black Hand bands.
 Hillsville, eight or ten years ago, was the seat of extensive Black Hand activities among employees of the quarries. At that time scores of ar rests were made. and many were sen fenced to prison before the Black Flanders were finally driven away.
