which the English maintained their
independence upon many battlefield
before the final development of the

The family name Arsmith IS simply
a contraction OF 'arrowsmith." The
arrowsmith was he who made his
living by fashioninG arrow heads
The Settlers were those who set the
heads upon the arrow shafts.
Tippers were craftsmen who sharp
ened the points after they had been
set.
The Fletchers Gt was also spelled

who affixed the feathers or hedges
(from the same word root whic!, gives
us both leather and "Aedgcling')
to the shafts. This was probably the
process which required the greatest
finasse, for the true flight OF the ar
row in those long shots for which the
archers of old England were famous
depended as much on the feather as
anything. The term fletcher also
was used in the moro general sense
as embracing the entire craft of arrow
makers. ''Flo" was a familiar name
for tho arrow in those days, whence
comes the name Flower"

The first child has the worst rec

by DR.. r. H. Vercoe among the school

Baked Tomatoes.

Most Of the recipes put in books
are for people who have means TO buy
all the many necessary ingredients.
while tomatoes arc very largely used
by people without means, and / think
are rarely prepared in such way as
to mako them the delicious dish they
can be. Here is my recipe for baking
tomatoes:
Peel and cut in pieces an ordinary
baking dish full OF ripe tomatoes.
Add two slices OF stale bread broken
up in small pieces, but not crumbed /:
one level tablespoonful of salt. one
level tablespoonful Of lard or butter.
half cup Of sugar and little pepper.
Mix all together and bake long
time. 1t is not nice unless well
cooked. Canned tomatoes may be
used.
