A HAM SANDWICH

There are some persons who will
tell you that ham sandwich to be
at it's best should be. briefiy-a ham
sandwich, slices of boiled ham laid
between slices of buttered bread with
possibly a dash of mustard. The
crusts of the bread should not be
trimmed, it should not be cut in
cobes or triangles, the ham should
not be minced, there should be no let
tuce. To do such things would be
painting the lily, and thereby spoil.
ing it.
But there are others who like va.
riety. They find the ordinary old.
fashioned ham sandwich all very well
and good when appetite is keen after
country hike or morning at golf
or several hours in the saddle. But
for ordinary purposes the embellish'
ed ham sandwich seems more inter-
esting.
Here are some variations on the
old theme:
Jelly and Ham Sandwich-Cut the
ham as thin as possible, spread two
slices of bread with butter and spread
one of these with currant jelly. Add
slices of ham and make into sand
wiches.
Ham and Egg Sandwich-This calls
for finely minced ham and finely
chopped hard-boiled eggs. To a cup
of the ham use three boiled eggs and
mix them thoroughly. making a paste.
Add little mustard and some may
onnaise. Cut thin slices of bread and
spread with the mixture.
Ham and Pickle Sandwiches-Ham
and pickle sandwiches are appetizing.
Chop cold-boiled ham quite fine, mix
with a little melted butter and made
mustard, add some finely chopped
cucumber pickles and spread between
thin slices of bread and butter.

SCHOOL FRAUD CASE DISMISSED

The warrant against Irwin Bullock,

to have secured state teachers exam

them to Richmond last June, has been

be found to convict Bullock, it was

Bullock, who was a teacher and ex-

ELECTRICITY A NECESSITY?

Electricity, which plays so large a
part in making our great cities, may
also unmake the metropolis by TAX
ing the comforts and conveniences
to the country, is the prophecy of the
Newark IN. j. Star-Eagle.
"A city like modern New York
would be impossible without electric
ity," this paper says. "Skyscrapers
with no electricity would be incred-
ible and the city would never have
progressed beyond a sort of collec'
ton of neighborhoods where a mans
activity was confined to his own To-
cality.
There seems to be more founda'
ton for the forecast that electricity
win unmake the metropolis than for
an assumption that II was made by
electricity In the beginning.
electricity has taken Broadway TO
the outlands. II has taken the ach-
ing back and a lot of perspiration
orfm farming The telephone makes
the ruralite a neighbor of the man
in town. II is interesting TO speculate
about its effect on the movement OF
populations We may be faced some
day with the problem of keeping the
city at his desk and finding enough
men to run lathes and drives street
cars"

this one, because il tends to increase
industrial costs when there still is
need TO reduce them. II is not a
good sign TO have iron advancing
when wheat and corn are declining.
The chief cause of depression during
the past year was the unbalanced
state OF industry, great numbers Of
would-be consumers being unable 10

unbalanced situation still exists, and
this move in the steel industry, while
it may be toward readjussment on the
basis of coaf mining, is not toward
general readjustment.
Balanced Situation Needed
1t cannot be too plainly stated that
what is wanted 10 give the best gen
eral result is balanced situation
among the industries with full and
steady employment and ready sale
for products at fair prices all around.
Somebody has TO pay for abnormally
high prices, and unless the pay of all
classes rises or falls together, CON

is checked.

highest ever known, despite the ef-

THE good crops are an outstand-
Il ing feature in the business situa-
ton. Corn has been hurt in some
states by drought, but the yield on
the whole is a good one, and the
other grains have done well. All food
stuffs are in abundant supply. The
farmer has done his work faithfully,
and will feed the town populations
during the coming year at as low a
price level as in the past year, and il
may be little lower.
The cotton crop again faces below
the amount required for years con-
sumption, owing to drought and boil
weevil. The carry-over August ],
1921, was over 100000 bales and
August ], 1922, was only about one

Steel Industry Wage Advance
The most notable development in
fhe labor market since the depression
began has been the advance of 20 per
cent. in the wages of common day
hbor announced by the United States
Steel Corporation, followed by the
other steel companies. II took the
country by surprise, and may be taken
o. proof that involuntary unemploy-
ment for the present at least is al
N erd.
The explanation is that the steel
industry during the war was largely
devoted to the war. In some lines
equipment and construction fell be-
hind the needs of the country, and
the general slump IN business hst
year cut down the production Of IRON
and steel before the shortage was
made good. This has been particu-
hrly true of railroad needs. The
demand has been increasing since
ssriy spring and the companies havs
lad difficulty in recruiting thcif

FRIENDS

Friends are something we all have,
Perhaps some have more than
others,
But the kind of friends we want
Are friends that stick like brothers.
l may not have many friends,
But what | have, l hope, are true,
For fake" friend is a mean thing
And thing that will give you the
blues.
If you've had friend that didn't
stick,
Just wish him every joy,
For to ever revenge friend
Is worse than breaking a child's
toy.
A friend that sticks to you
Through all your trouble and sor-
row
Is the kind of friend that counts
And is one that you can trust to-
morrow.
A true friend is a priceless joy,
A gem in the crown of life;
For what can we do without friends
Among all this toll and strife?
True friends are what Mt Sterling
yields,
True friends, and plenty;
Isn't that just like the town.
It's as If you had friends rented.
A town, like its people,
Blithe, good and gay;
wouldn't trade my Mt. Sterling
friends
For a million dollars,'if if could, to-
day.
The only way to have a friend
Is simply just to be one;
The only way to keep a friend
Is just TO keep on being one.
Just try to keep what friends you
have,
For they're the greatest things on
earth;
A true friend doesn't come every da
Can you say what true friend is
worth?

FOUR TEAMS ADVANCE TO sEMI.EINALS AT FOREST HILLS

Forest Hills, Aug. Flour teams advanced to the semi finals round in the women's national doubles tennis championship on the turf of the West Side club today.
 Through today's victories the team of Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory of New York and Miss Edith Sigourney of Boston. will meet the team of Miss Clare Cassel, Elberon, N. J. and Miss Marie Wagner, New York, and the team of Mrs Marion Z Jessup of Will n1ington, Del, and Miss Helen Wills. San Francisco, will meet the team of Mrs. Bundy, Los Angeles, and Miss Helen Hooker, Greenwich, Conn.,, to- morrow.
 Mrs. Bundy and Miss Hooker had a difficult time today overcoming Miss Gladys c. Hutchins, Bermuda, champion, and Miss Katherine Gard ner, Boston in a three-set match, 6-3, 7-9, 6-4, but Mrs. Bundy's su- perior all-round game was too much for the less experienced combination. The play of the California was spec tacular in the last set, when she dashed all over her side of the court, smashing unreturnable placements. ;
 In their match against Mrs. Harry Bickle, of Toronto. and Mrs. Frank Godfrey, Boston, Mrs. Molla B. Nal l lory and Miss Edith Sigourney had an easier time, but were hard put i'll the second set. The score was 62, 6-4. i Mrs. Bickle particularly played well, l leaping high in the air for hot drives from Mrs. Mallory and playing a net game that rivalled that of Miss Sig ourney. The Boston girl played a eau tious game but outvollied the hard hitting Mrs. Godfrey.
 Miss Cassel and Miss Wagner sprung surprise by defeating the combination of Miss Leslie Bancroft West Newton, Mass, and Miss Mar tha Bayard, Short Hills, N. J., 6-4 6-3. The winners came from behind in the first set, out-driving their op- l ponents,. who lost mainly on theil errors.
 The victory of Mrs Jessup and hel youthful partner, Miss Willis, over Mrs. George L. Chapman and hel daughter Miss Marion Chapman, boti of Nyack, N. Y, was tame affair The victoTs were hardly troubled fl taking both sets 6-2, 6-3. Miss Will played brilliantly and better than il her previous matches of this tourna ment
 The outstanding players of the da, were Miss Wills, Mrs. Mallory, ant Mrs. Bundy. Mrs. Bundy howed un uua stamina in winning a number o long rallies, and by her dashing at tack. She and Miss Hooker. won fiv straight games in their first sci through simple strategy. Mrs. Nal
 lory's hard driving was up to he
 ordinary standard, but her genera play lacked it's usual vigor. Severa times the national champion brough applause by returning balls hard driv en, that had bounced past the bas
 line. The feature of Miss Wills wer
 was her steadiness under pressure.
