The East Drowning of Sa-
yannah.

It had rained most every day
And the brooklets, creeks and rivers
Rushed in torrents on their way.
1t was on the fourth of April
In the Easter even-tide
That eleven youngsters ventured
Ger Savannah wild and wide.
(Chorus)
They have crossed, but not Savannah,
Yet beyond this veil of care
When their friends have crossed the
river,
May they find their loved mes there.
Not a dream Of lurking danger,
Not a tear stood in their eye,
Not a farewell kiss to mother,
Nor a fathers last goodbye.
Forth they went in quest of pleasure,
As so often youngsters do,
In the bloom of youth and beauty,
Brave young men and maidens true.
They had gone to Harpers' Ferry,
For they lived not far away;
And the boatman's wife was teacher
Of the district school, they say.
"Let US cross the brimmnig river"
Someone yelled in youthful glee,
"It is WELL" the others echoed
In a voice Of ecstasy.
All were on, and then the boatman
With his young and lovely bride,
When the fiat was loose from anchor,
Started for the other side.
Now the strong and goodly cable
Held the fiat boat in its place,
But the rough and angry waters
Showed that time had left its trace.
When they reached the mighty cur
rent,
Which with wondrous swiftness ran,
Then the cable post was broken;
Thus divides the work of man.
AS the fiat swung down the river,
Half restrained and partly free,
Then the air was rent with screaming
And with cries of agony.
Soon the goodly flat was sunken;
They must sleep but not to dream;
Eleven start and ten are missing
On that voyage across the stream.
One was left to tell the story,
Thomas Bradshaw was his name,
But the missing live forever
In our memory's hall of fame.
Two of them were Misses Bradshaw,
They were sisters, understand;
Mannings three, two girls and brother
And a boy named Sutherland.
Lester Waters, too, was missing,
With his young and lovely bride;
Charles Mechine and Alice, also,
Perished in that loss of life.
Easter. night was swiftly falling
AS the tragic news was borne
To the loved ones of the missing
And the friends who came to mourn.
After days of t%ireless searching,
Through the sunshine, rain OR chill,
In the bosom of Savannah
Three of them are sleeping still.
Gone are they, but not forgotten;
Change is wrought by fleeing time;
In the bloom of youth and beauty
Is the temptor's sweetest chime.
Let us heed this note of warning,
AS the path of life we plod;
Then, my precious friend, and reader
Oh, prepare to meet thy God.

into half a glass of lukewarm
water drop a small lump each of
Cnsco and any other fat. With a
spoon gradually add hot water
until Crisco melts. You will find
that few other fats melt at this
point. Food authorities say that
an easily digested fat should melt
near body heat-o8 2I5 degrees.
Cnsco, you will find, melts even
below this temperature. It melts
at 81 degrees. (This test does not
necessarily condemn the digesti-
biiity of the other fat, but it will
aid you to establish Crisco's fine
digestibikty.)

HOW to use CriscO

IN PAN FRYING as in deep frying,
Crisco has reached proper frying heat
when it browns a bread crumb in 40 Sec
onds. do not wait for Crisco 10 srnoke.)
BY straining Crisco you can use it again
and again. AS SHORTENING use rs
less of Crisco than you would of animal fats.
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1922-08-20
Avoid Smoke and
Odor!

Put into separate pans equal
amounts of Crisco and any othes
fat. Heat slowly for eight min
utes or until they reach a tenn
perature where a bread crumb
browns in 30 seconds.
Notice that the Crisco, unlike
most cooking fats, does not smoke
at this proper frying temperature.
You win find that frying with
Crisco will be very helpful in
keeping your whole house fresh
and free from the odor of cooking
fats.

Women are often kind enough
Ito tell us that their reputation as
fine cooks is based largely on their
Crisco foods. Light, tender cakes:
faky pie crusts; fried foods whose
quickly formed brown crust pre-

Common sense tells mothers that
so healthful a shortening as Crisco
must cost, in a weeks cooking, a
few cents more than do fats of
questionable digestibility.
They would no more deliberately
use a cheap unwholesome shorten

question which will probably never be

not long ago when David Wnrheid

Warfield is probably the best known

is told about him that TO prove his
point that he retained perfect control
over himself, he took a friend back

said that she always retained control

United States Appropria
ton Aids State High
way System

JACKSON, Miss, July lit is
very gratifying TO those people it,.
terested in good roads, TO learn tn al
Congress, has recently passed the
new federal aid appropriation bill
authorizing the distribution among
the states OF $190,0O0,000 for use
in the construction of highways.
This appropriation covers the next
three years, so, 100000 being au.
thorized fer 1923, $65, 100000 for
1924, and 5000, 900 for 1926. In
addition $6,500,000 has been au.
thorized for use on forest roads, for
each of the years of 1923 and 1924
OF this appropriation, Mississippi
will receive about $3,000,000
which will go a long way towards
the completion of the state high.
way system, now under construc
ton by the highway department.
The appropriation is made under
the federal act of 1916, as amended
in 1919 and '21, which provides
that the federal funds be expended
only on those roads, comprising the
Z per cent system of roads, which
system is to be maintained by the
state highway department. 1t is
also required that this per cent
be made up of interstate and inter.
county roads. In requiring this the
government is working toward the
construction of highway system,
which will not only connect every
county seat and center of population
within each state, but throughout
the entire United States.
The MississiIp pi highway depart
ment is confronted. however, by
the constitutional provision givin g
the Boards of Supervisors full con
troll over all roads, bridges and fer
ries, which gives the state no au
thority to take over federal aid
roads for maintenance as required
The last legislature seeing the me-
cessity for changing this, submitted
to the people, to be voted on at the
November ele ,tions, a constitution
al amendment, which gives the state
the authority to take over for su
pervision and maintenance those
roads designated as state highways
which roads are not to exceed 7 pei
cent OF the total mileage in the state
| Under the federal act of 1921, any
state not giving the highway de-
partment this authority withir
three years after the passage of the
act, will cease to participate in fur,
ther federal allotments.
| Under the new enactment, tn,
only change made was in the ap
preparation per mile, which canno
exceed $16,5 500 for 923 and $15, ,0o(
thereafter, it having formerly bee
$4,000. The authorization of thes
funds for three years in advance wi
be of great benefit to all the states
|, since it does away with the unael
tainty as to future federal aid which
has heretofore proved serious hin
drance to highway Departments i

ture. III is estimated that the ney
appropriation will result in-the cor

per cent of tbe proposed nations
