Use Wild Crab Apples.

Perhaps you have shifted the elus-
i've. spicy gusts of fragrance from wild
c%rab-apple blossoms in the spring OF
year: but you may not yet have dis
covered the value Of those blossoms
when by autumn they rave turned in-
to ripe little crab apples, says the
Woman's Home Companion. They
have excellent jellying properties,
which make The fruit valuable not
only by itself alone. but particularly
i'm combination with fruits which
would not make jelly Of themselves.
Moreover. they add ZeSt II flavor
to insipid fruits. The Wild crabs
cook up very soft but do not get
mushy. and though the skins are
tough. they are easily removed.
It would be a patriotic duty for the
housewife 10 make use Of these wild
native fruits and so justify their pres
%ervatiOn. for at present they are too
widely being cut down as worthless.

MILLARD FOSTERS RESIDENCE
RAlDED BY LOCAL OFFICIALS
and QUANTITY BOOZE FOUND

gallon jug, nearly filled with liquor,
was found; nearby was glass
pitcher and the ''bar glass; the
pitcher apparently being for use in
serving the drinks.
Mrs. Foster dsclaimed any know
ledge of the fact that liquor was
being kept in the house and, in
the opinion Of the officers, the
woman was innocent of any associa-
ton with the stuff After question:
ing the woman, the officers took
charge of the liquor and brought
it to the city and locked It up in
the county Jail, as evidence against
Foster.
According to one of the raiding
party. the house in which Foster
resides has been under surveillance
for several days. 1t Ia said that
strong suspicion of law violation
being committed in the residence
had been pointing to the place, for
sometime and when it was planned
to conduct the search yesterday
afternoon it was concluded that
Foster was at home. But he wasn't.
They were told that he was out
cutting timber The officers said
that while they were at the house,
and during the progress Of the
raid. visitors called at the home,
presumably for the purpose of hav-
ing a private consultation" with
the glass pitcher
Mr.. Foster, apparently, is conf
dent of his ability to prove him
self innocent of the charge against
him, when he is arraigned for
trial. The specific charge lodged
against the accused is for selling
liquor and having liquor in his
possession, according to informa-
tion supplied this newspaper by
Sheriff Stepp this morning.

here when he fell in front of the
eastbound Cotton Belt passenger
train as 1t was pulling out OF the
local yards. His head was severed
from the body. Mr.. Hayley was one
of the best known truck and fruit
growers in this section of the state.
The tragedy is believed to have
occurred when Mr. Hayley stepped
from behind gondalo standing
near street crossing and quick

get across the tracks. AS he crossed
the tracks, he evidently stumbled
and fell with his head across the
north rail.
The unfortunate man had come
into town to sell a load of pears
from his orchard.
Mr.. Hayley is survived by a
large family
