 GO ON WITH THE STORY
 Stage, as the layman understands that term, there was none; but the floor space as a whole was rather elaborately cluttered with what Lu- cinda was to learn were technically known as "sets" in various stages of completion and demolition; a set being anything set up to be photo graphed, from single "side" or fiat" with simple window or door, or an "angle" formed of two such sides joine Ito show the corner of room, up to the solid and pretentious piece of construction which occupied fully one half of the left and repro duced the Palm Room at the Ritz Carlton.
 At the far end of the room a sub stanttal set represented a living room, a good part of it was masked from Lucinda's view by number of massive but portable metal screens or stands arranged in two coverging ranks. at whose apex stood a heavy tripod supporting small black box. To these stands lines of insulated cable wandered over the floor from every quarter of the room.
 An atmosphere of apathy pervaded the place, as if nothing of moment was happening or expected to happen. An effect to which considerable con- tribution was made by the lugubrious strains of a three-piece orchestra, plano, violin, and cello, stationed to one side of the living-room set.
 This trio intrigued Lucinda's in terest. Its presence seemed unac- countable, but not more so than it's rendition of plaintive melodies, tunes which one more familiar with the cant of the theater would unhesitat- ingly have classified as "sob stuff"
 Guided by Mir. Lane, the exotics gingerly picked their way across the coils of. electric cable that ran in snaky confusion all over the floor, like exposed viscera of the cinema; and Luncinda presently found herself on the side lines of the living room between it and the dogged orchestra, and well out of range of the camera She could now see three people on the set, two men with girl whom, thanks to the wide circulation of the ladys photographs, she had no diff culty as identifying as Alma Daley herself-a prepossessing young per son with bobbed hair. boldly fea- tured face, comedy in the flesh rather than pretty, and a slight little body which she used with a rather fetch-

We do believe that the cotton grower
will sooner or later conquer the pest
and that when that is done he will
lock upon it as a great blessing that
the weevil came.
Even now some farmers are max
ing fine cotton crops while the farm
er Just across the highway has no
cotton worth while. The thing to do
we believe is not to plant so large an
acreage and to york it fast. and to
fertilize it high, and use little OF

them. that you will make crop OF
cotton. We need TO plant less acre

Mesho4 Of Treatment With Formal

The treatment OF oats for smut Is
very simple and inexpensive. Use one
pint o. pound of forn1aldehyde 10 81
gallons Of water, making a solution.
One convenient way to apply the So
luton is to fill good s:zed barrel

and having your oa.: il two oushel
sackS. Just dip the sci: il the barrel
aal let remain 10 to 5 minutes.
Then, if you wish to run them
through a drill it will be necessary to
dry them. Otherwise you can SOW
them wet. Another method IS to
place the oats or a tight floor in a
barn and sprinkle the solution over
them. keeping them thoroughly stir
red till every grain has been wet with
the solution. Then cover with sacks
o. cloths for about "a hours. The
grain then can be dried for sowing If
necessary. The above treatment
will prevent smut and will pay you

The Gafnev Ledger says the news

The Gafney Ledger says the news
papers should not paoiish so much
scandal. Well, Old sport, we think
you are entirely correct, and we have
tried not to publish very much, and
we nave also made the rule not to
publish SO much crime Of any kind,
except where it was really news IN
the immediate locality, and yet we
must plead guilty in many instances
of publishing things that we should
not have published, and after they
have been writ in the files have wish
ed that we could take them out.
There is great responsibility rest
ing On the newspapers. but they are
like the rest of the people who have
something to sell, they feel often that
they should sell that which the pub
lie wants to buy, and somehow the
public likes scandal and likes TO read
about crime. May be TIE newspapers
should educate a different taste IN
the people, but it would cost some
thing to do it and the payroll must be
met.

SCOUT NEWS

Friday night Troop held its regu-
lar meeting at headquarters in the
American Legion hall. The troop
was assembled and our flag ceremony
held, after which the business was at
tended to. The roll was called and
the dues collected, the scribe and
treasurer making their reports. AT
the conclusion of the routine business
Dr.. Babb, who was an honor guest at
this meeting, made US splendid talk,
basing his remarks upon the first and
second scout laws: ga scout is trust
worthy" and "a scout is loyal" His
remarks were most fortunate, and
were thoroughly enjoyed by all. At
ter this talk, we discussed the pro-
grams for our future meetings. Mr..
Martin, who was our other honor
guest, offered us his assistance in the
making of museum, in that ne
would assist us by identifying specl-
mems of our native trees. We are
very glad to have the assistance of
an authority like Mr.. Martin, and we
shall be happy to go on nature hike
under his guidance. After making
some few arrangements, we played
some games. having big fun. At the
end OF the games the troop was as
sembled, and scout retreat held.

Low Melting Point
Easy Digestibility!

Into half a glass of lukewarm
water drop a small lump each of
Crisco and any other shortening.
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 2/5 degrees.
Crisco, you will find, melts even
below this temperature. 1t melts
at 81 degrees. (This test does not
necessarily condemn the digesti-
bility of the other fat, but it wiu
aid you to establish Crisco's fine
digestibility.)

7uo simple home tests
Avoid Smoke and
Odor!

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

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 seconds. do not wait for
Crisco to SMOKEY By straining Crisco you can
use it again and again. AS SHORTENING
use & less of Crisco than you would Of
animal fats.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-10-22

For in Crisco she has a truly digest;ble
shortening-a vegetable shortening.
And what fine satisfaction thought
fulmothers find in cooking with Criscol
In most homes the mere assurance Of
~healthfulness in fried foods is enough
to make Crisco a priced kitchen COM
panion. But Crisco is a versatile
shortening-it gives wholesomeness to
foods but it assures, also, as delicious
cakes, pies and cookies as you ever
tasted.
Two things, then, to remember:
Crisco is a vegetable shortening.
Crisco imparts healthfulness and easy
dieestibniaty to family foods.
You will appreciate, now, why Crisco
must cost, during a weeks cooking, a
little more than do shortcomings which
can have no pridein their origin. These
extra pennies are gladly spent by in
formed mothers as insurance against
risk to young digestions.
Grocers may we'll take satisfaction
in selling a food ingredient like Crisco
whose hea1thfulness is so certain.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-10-22

VOU may anticipate digestible, fne-favored
foods when you find a bakery or restaurant
which uses Crisco.
These proprietors, of course, pay considerably
more for Crisco than they need pay for average"
shortcomings. But thoughtful owners, wide awake
to their customers interests, seldom hesitate
over these few extra pennies. For Crisco, they
have learned, assures to their foods healthful
digestibility.
