Riddle to look after"
That night a sweet-faced wom-

nice. I really enjoyed their visit.

economies they had practiced to

he looked, and tried to change the

the MARKETS


New York, July 15.-The stock
exchange today experienced an
other lifeless session. with signifi-

Fully two-th1rds of the trading
embraced oils, steels, equipments,
motors, shippings and food shares.
Rails were unusually stagnant.
Pressure was most apparent

Bearish sentiment increased on
indications of further curtailment
of operations in the steel trade,
with q suggestion of more cutting
prices and wages in leading lines
of manufactures. British exchange

and then he took from the cup
board the jammer, or masher, and
got ready to crush the potatoes
up fine with some butter and milk.
The bunny gentleman was Just

all of sudden, into the bunga-

"Oh, ho!" howled the Wolf

the floor.
"Herev' barked the Fox to the
Wolf. "You come and hold this
pot from slipping. AS soon as l
have damned the potatoes, Wen

The Wolf let go of Uncle Wig
gily to hold the pot for the Fox.
The Fox raised the potato masher
and brought it down hard. But
instead of hitting the potatoes he
hit the Wolf on the paws.
Here! Look out what you're
doing!" howled the Wolf.
II didn't do it on purpose"
whined the Fox.
Once more he damned away,
but again he smashed the paw of
the Wolf who held the pot.
"Here!" snarled the Wolf, "you
don't know how to mash potatoes!
Let me do it while you hold the
pot"
So they changed places, but the
Wolf was no better. He let the
heavy club Of masher slip and
hit the Fox.
"Oh. wow!" howled the Fox.
why are you tanning me?"
II didn't do it on purpose!" said
the wolf.
Eyes you did," howled the Fox.
You want to make me run away
so you'll have both Uncle Wig
gily's ears for yourself. / know
you! Take that" and he threw
a ball of potatoes IN the eyes of
the Wolf.
well, you take that" growled
the Wolf, and he threw the potato
masher at the Fox. And Their
these two bad animals began to
fight and scratch and bite, and
they rolled over and ever out of
the bungalow, leaving Uncle Wig
gily safe and sound. The Wolf
chased the Fox far, far off, and
when they were gone the bunny
locked the door. Then he cleaned
up the potatoes off the floor,
mashed those in the pot and ate
them for dinner. And Nurse Jane
said he was very smart.
So this teaches us that it is
sometimes good to have mashed
potatoes for dinner. And if the
chairs will only stop chasing the
napkins around the dining room
table and tickling it's legs, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily and
the chocolate candy.

HELPFUL HINTS FROM

Young Wife complained mat her
pie crust would rise While it was
being baked, before the filling was
put in. Here is my way Of cbviat-

beans into the crust before baking
in: then, when it is done, I simply
take out the beans and fill the
crust. The beans weight down the
pastry so that it cannot rise"

query from one of your readers
about making light weight bread

time of mixing the bread stiff. She
used about one quart of cornmeal
mush for eight loaves of bread.

VERSE OF TODAY
A MIDSUMMER PICTURE.

Gray sky which bends above the bue-gray hills
And curtains them in filmy clouds of rain;
Soft winds which rise and fall, to rise again
Scented with clover blooms; the cool air thrills
To hidden harmonies; a bird note fills
Ethereal vstas where ones feet would fain
Explore, and exploring there remain
To wander on amid the fields and rs.
Mdsummers gentle spirit broods anew
over the silvery reaches stretching far,
And ere day passes like soft caress
Comes twilight with it's touch of tenderness
Turning the clouds to roses one clear star,
A golden love-light shines from out the blue!
