LOVELY"

ATID you enjoy the play?" ives.
LII had a lovely time" The
person who used the word
lovely in this sense did not know,
or forgot, that lovely" should be used
only To describe something which is
adapted to or worthy of being loved
that is, of inspiring the highest
esteem of which the human being is
capable. The word ~"lovely" means,
according to the Standard dictionary,
possessing mental or physical quail,
ties that inspire admiration or love
winsome, charming, lovable, as a
lovely face"
The word lovely has, therefore. q
distinct and valuable place in English
dictiOn, and should not be debased by
use In connection with common or or,
binary matters, or trifies. Instead of
lovely" In most cases some such
words as attractive, agreeable, pleas.
ant, enjoyable should be employed
Here Is correct use Of lovely: shes
adorned amply that In her husbands
eve she looks lovely"

-Four Prisoners Escape
Leave Poem Of Farewell

Sioux Falls-"Somewhere in the
.jungles," the gathering place for all
trampdom and those denizens of the
underworld who seek quiet and rest
from the too inquisitive world, four
escaped prisoners from the Canton Jail
are probably composing poems and
musing on the wonders Of nature.
Meanwhile the Jail at Canton, well
tenanted Sunday afternoon, is now
empty with only a great hole in the
ceiling of the room to show where
the men placed there for trial at the
next term Of court, once dwelled.
Sheriff Charles Kundert and a posse
of deputies have been searching the
surrounding territory for the past "a
hours but so far have been unable to
find a trace of the missing men. First
news of the Jail break at Canton was
received in Sioux Falls when Chief of
Police Charles f.. Johnston received a
telephone call from Canton telling him
that four men had escaped.
According to information from
Sheriff Kundert the Jail delivery had
been we'll planned and the prisoners
took their time in effecting their es-
cape.

But all of the city did not sleep one
evening. namely the participants in a

And the sequel to the story Is one
OF poetic justice, administered without
the aid OF judge or jury.
Let me out! Let me OUT"
That was the cry that echoed on the
midnight air at the erie hour twixt
Thursday and Friday.
And auditors outside saw a flash
light CLEAN for an instant, a heavy
blow struck, followed by others and
climaxed by the sound of a fall.
Somebody had been heavily walloped
by n mans fist, 1t was evident.
That's enough" shrilled a woman's
voice, and then silence settled down
over all.
Place no given, names not given,
but the readers. curiosity must be sat
isfied. 1t was al old story with a new
ending.
Several strangers in the city and
some who were not strangers, had
staged a little poker game, presum-
ably for the strangers benefit. And
n OF the local losers had gone home
and told his wife. Together they had
hunted up the ~ringleader of the strang

State Second In Corn
Production Per Farm

|, Pierre, Aug. 1.-The Federal corr
statistics for 1921, placed South Dako-
ia second in corn production per farm
among the states, with an average OF
1888 bushels per farm. the only state
leading being Iowa, with an average
of 2081 bushels per farm.
South Dakota was given ninth place
in corn production, with 125,632, 900
bushels, this being the actual return
on a July estimate of 116 ,000, 900 bus
hels.
The July estimate this year Is 1877
900 900 bushels, and the conditions
since the first of July have been such
in the state that the actual yield for
this year is more than likely to re-
peat the situation of a year ago, when
the estimate was exceeded by ten mil
lon bushels when the crop was gather
ed.
Iowa is given first place in total
corn production, and in production per
farm with Illinois second in total yield
and fourth in farm production. Texas
was given fourth place for last year
in total production, but stood thirteen
in farm production, and on the esti-
mates of this year that state has drop
ped to ninth in total production with
South Dakota taking the eighth place,
Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Minnesota
were the other states which were
above South Dakota in total p~roduc-
ton for last year, but all were below
this state on the farm production
showing. Kansas was below South
Dakota in total production for last
vear and was ninth in farm production
of the different states.

Train Runs Into Great
Swarm OF Grasshoppers

Belle Fourche, Aug. 15.-Grasshop-
pers have become numerous along the
railroad right of way between White
wood and Belle Fourche, and ranchers
have become somewhat alarmed.
The pilot of an incoming Northwes-
tern passenger train was covered with
grasshoppers that had been picked up
between the two towns. The entire
front of the engine was of a greenish
color from the hoppers being crushed
as the locomotive plyed its way
through the swarms.
Steps are being taken by experts to
reduce the grasshopper pest, with
the object of preventing great dam
age being done by them next season,
when. II left unmolested now, they
would have multiplied greatly from
their present numbers.

THE WHOLESOME cUsTARp.

~USTARDS Of different fiavors are
always good desserts for the chill
dfen and are usually well liked
by them. One egg to a cupful Of
milk and two tablespoonfuls of sugar
or less will make a thin custard which
will be sufficient for two small cups.
If the custard Is desired thicker, two
eggs to one cupful Of milk will make
d custard which will mold. OF course.
when food value is considered, the more
egg the more nutriment.
Cup custards are more attractive in
appearance If decorated in some form.
A dot of jelly or jelly cut In cubes, q
Candied cranberry or cherry, o. any
bright preserved fruit is always fes-
tive, and a spoonful of nuts adds to
its food value.
Care should be taken in the prepare.
ton of a custard. II baked, place the
Cust8rds In a dish Of water and watch
carefully not to Overbake as they be-
come coarse and tough. A baked III
tard has a finer flavor than boiled, and
is particularly good with tart berries.
Nutmeg, cinnamon, orange rtnd,
lemon, maple or caramel are all good
f~lavors, as well as chocolate and cocoa.
Chocolate grated we the top, or
cocoa sprinkled lightly over the Gus
tards adds TO its food value. A pinch
of salt is needed in all custards, other
wise, they are fiat I'm taste. An orange
favored custard is delicious served
with a spoonful OF orange marmalade
on top.

Caramel Custard.

Put one-half cupful Of sugar in al
omelet pan and stir well while melt,
ing; when a golden brown add one
quart of boiling hot milk, adding very
carefully a little at a time, when the
caramel is all dissolved and mixed
with the milk add five slightly beaten
eggs, a pinch Of salt. a teaspoonful OF
vanilla and strain into a mold. Chill
and serve with a caramel sauce. Four
eggs will make a rich custard, but not
so well to mold.
For the sauce brown a cupful of
sugar, add one-half cupful Of boiling
water, stir until dissolved and when
cold serve as sauce.
A cupful Of cake crumbs stirred into
a custard will often prove a good way
Of using leftover cake and making a
dainty, nourishing dish for a child's
supper or luncheon.
