- Governor Cooper has signed the F.
G. Harris measure amending the state
highway act so as to prevent any city
or town from charging an automobile
drivers license in addition to the IL
censes now required by the state high
way department, except in the case
of autos and trucks for hire. Under
an amendment paced in the bill in the
senate this amended bill does not ef-
feet cities having populations in ex-
cess OF $4,000 inhabitants, or in other
words. Columbia and Charleston. The
act also provides for meeting the fed
eral aid law of the national govern
ment by allowing counties wishing
federal aid to place funds at the dis
posal of the state highway department
Under the new federal aid law the
government grants aid only when
matched by the state or when the
funds are directly under the control Of
the state and this new act was nee
essary to meet the federal require
ments. Under the old law counties
could match federal aid under the di-
rection Of the state department but
under the new law the state must
actually have the funds at it's disposal.

The Substantials of Life

IF YOU LIVE to eat, then you want
some Of the fancy things in the grocery
line-I have them-fancy enough to
satisfy almost any taste.
II YOU EAT TO LIVE then can
supply you with the substantials OF
the grocery line--almost anything that
you might desire.
AND DID YOU EVER THINK about
it, the real substantials Of life do not
count up very fast-it doesn't take q
great deal to keep the average family
going. A sack Of flour, few pounds
of meat, lard, meal, sugar, salt, pepper,
etc-No, it doesn't require big out
lay for the substantials to keep the
family table supplied.
BUT OF COURSE every family de-
sires some Of the things that are class
ed as Fancy Groceries and they are
quite right.
BUT YOU'LL FIND both kinds here
and want to serve you. ~

PLANS FOR THE NEW
 WARDROBE

The much talked of shopping tour took place the next day, just one week after 1lona'S return to the bosom of her family.
 It was a whirlwind vent and early in the morning 1lona was awakened by the smiling Fanny and reminded that she must be down on time for breakfast, as the car would be wait ing for them punctua1ly at 9:3O.
 With a little moan Ilona stretched and yawned at. this announcement. Then she buried her fair head deep CT into the kindly pillows. Still there was no escaping it. She might as well accept things with good grace and please her well-meaning mother by conforming with her various plans outwardly if not inwardly.
 Ilona had locked up deep within herself something that was hers alone, something that she vowed to herfself the very first day at home no one should reach or destroy. With this safely locked within her heart ana breast they might go ahead with any plans for her destruction as soon and as hard as they liked No one could take this feeling, this most precious thing within her, away from her. It was. after all not diff fcut to smile and do as one was told to do with this singing" going on where one wished it to go on.
 With a gay smile to the adoring Fanny she stumbled out of bed and into her bath Then she hurried into her clothes as fast as she could arriving at the family breakfast ta- ble on the dot.

Five months ago he lost his position and while he was trying 70 secure another he had to spend great deal of the money he has saved for furniture.

 It seems to me that it would be decidedly beeter to wait six months or a year and then start married life in your own little home.

Recipes for the Day


 Shepherds Pie-The meat for this dish, which was a boiling piece, may be left from previous days dinner. The stock utilized in making the vegetable soup for luncheon.
 The meat is cut into small pieces and placed in the bottom of the dish, over which is poured some of the thickened broth. If one is fond of meat and vegetable mixtures, peas and carrots may also be added to this Then the potatoes are mashed Cleft overs answer beautifully and mixed with a bit of flour, one egg, and enough milk to make it soft and smooth. This potato mixture is then put into a pastry bag (directions for making which will be given below) and a dainty design of potato is ar ranged as a covering to the meat. It is then put into the oven and left until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the potato turned to a delicate brown. All this makes a very tasty dish, which is easily prepared. It is & good thing to serve when one is going out for the afternoon and wishes to have something that can be prepared previously and cooked in a hurry.
 The pastry bag is made from a piece of cloth about ten inches square. Two sides are stitched to- gether in such a way as to form a triangular bag. A small opening is left at the small end into which is in

Valentine Suggestion

For the Valentine party the house is, of course, decorated with paper hearts and cupids. Candy hearts may be hidden about the rooms for the guests to find. A large paper heart may be fastened to the wall, the guests provided with small bows and arrows, and a prize given to the one who sits nearest to the center of the heart. Partners may be chosen by giving slips of paper bear ing the names of famous lovers of history and fiction, Romeo and Juliet Dante and Beatrice, Anthony and Cleopatra, etc, the ladies, of course, being given the names of the hero ines an dthe men the heroes, and then matching them.
 The refreshments may consist of sandwiches, olives, ice cream, coffee and cakes, red and white candy hints. Raisin and nut sandwiches are nice, the raisins and nuts being run through the food chopper and moistoned with mayonnaise. Brick ice cream can be secured with pink heart shaped center.

 Kidney Bean Salad-It is much cheaper to buy kidney beans in bulk and cook them yourself than to buy the prepared ones. These you soak over night and boil until soft. After draining and cooling three-quarters cup of nuts are added, likewise a cup of diced celery. This is all mix ed together and covered well with a salad dressing, preferably oil. How ever, many people do not relish the oil favoring. any cream dressing will make a very palatable dish. This is then served on a lettuce leaf. One half pound of kidney beans will serve six 1avishly. There is substance enough to this salad, on account of the kidney beans, that it can take the place of an extra vegetable dish and likewise act as a salad.
