Soren Ladies Hold Social at L. T.
Larson Farm Home

The social given at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. L. T. Larson in forming
township Sunday afternoon and even
ing, was attended by more than
hundred Of the residents Of that dis
trict. A very enjoyable buffet lunch
con, consisting of several kinds Of
sandwiches, nearly a dozen kinds Of
cake, salads, and coffee. Mrs. Lar
son, Mrs. Mikkelson and Mrs. Pearl
Slakston were in charge of the serv-
ing.
Among those present was Rev. Mr..
Anderson, pastor of the Lutheran
church at Douglas. The social was
one of those pleasant social affairs
held at different times during the
year by the Ladies Aid of the soren
Lutheran church. Quite nice sum
was raised for the church. During
the afternoon the young folks played
games, Hans Nybakken proving that
he was one of the liveliest youngsters
in the crowd.
Everyone felt jubilant over the
wonderful crops grown in that district
this year. Mr.. Larson's home is built
on prominence overlooking a vast
district and as far as the eye can see,
there are big fields of golden grain,
practically all IN the shock. Farmers
reported to the writer that nearly all
Of the wheat had been cut and most of
it is now in the shock. Threshing of
wheat was to begin the following day
and farmers feared that the threshing
would last until snow flies. Many
fields are certain to average rs" and
80 bushels per acre. ~..,, ~

workers, telling one after another.
Nelson is as years Of age and was
in no condition for the bout, but his
early training with the gloves served
him we'll. ~,
The men weighed in at 153 pounds
each. Martin attacked Nelson early
in the fight, hoping to make quick
work of it, but Nelson side stepped
and ducked and at the opportune mo-
ment struck back some staggering
blows. Martin was ready to quit at
the end of the third round, while the
old war horse of the ring was going
stronger than ever. 1t is doubtful if
Martin could have lasted thru another
round.
Nelson has had more than 200 ring
battles during his career of IA years
as fighter He won large percent
age Of them. Sometimes he would be
outclassed, but he always took his
medicine gracefully. He always
fought clean battle. He was never
known to "throw" fight. Sometimes
he'd enter the ring with men weigh
ing so pounds more than he did, and
frequently he'd lick them. NeSon
always had the best of habits, trained
carefully, didn't drink and at nights
he'd be at home with his family. He
never dissipated.
"I'd like to meet Curley Ulrich, Kid
Lee, Eddie Gardner and a few more
of those fellows who got the better Of
me in the early days. l bet I could
beat them today. 1t Would take me
a month to get into good trim now
where it only took a week or ten days
twenty years ago." he said.

WASTE Is CAUSE
OF BIG GAS BILL
American Gas Association
Gives Hints to Housewives
on Cutting Expense.

NEW YORK, March IA list
OF hints for general housewives has
been compiled BY the American Gas
Association. which has been investi-
eating the ways manufactured gas
is used In the house.
As a result Of the investigation the
association has come to the conclu-
sion that carelssness and thought
lessness are the chief causes OF
waste and that hundreds OF thou.
sands Of dollars could be saved year
ly if household commanders would
practice economy.
The association reported that
some of the people still insist upon
using the gas range oven 10 heat
the kitchen and every now and then
a family goes TO Palm Beach or
Europe and forgets TO turn off the
light or other appliances" The en-
gineers also discovered that care
less servants who rule supreme in
the kitchen use gas with a prodig-
ity that would shame the lady OF the
house were she TO investigate condi-
tons for herself"
I'D I'LL NfNeAAAAR AE Va NNAANEA dAE " ct6ANr
the association points TO the fact
that ne old-fashioned, open-hame
burned is still being used by many
in preference 10 the efficient modern
mantle light, although the former
consumes four 10 five times as much
gas as tho latter.
The list of hints includes these
warnings:
Don't use the giant burners on
ranges when the smaller burners
serve the same purpose.
Don't heat a kettle full OF water
when a quart will do.
Don't permit the gas fame 20
overlap the sides OF a cooking
utensil.
Turn out the gas when you don't
need it-matches are cheaper than
gas.
1T takes no more gas to cook IL
potatoes than il does to cook six.
Turn off the gas before. not after
taking a cooking Utensil off the
range.
You cannot raise the temperature
of the water above PIP degrees Fab
renheit. or boiling point; therefore,
once the pot starts to boil on the
range, reduce the fame.
plan your cooking so as 10 make
one burner or one oven cook more
than one article of food at the same
time.
Give thoGght TO the selection Of
proper utensils; fat bottom utensils
with a base broader than the gas
flame are fuel savers.
Keep flame tips on range and
water heater burners about one half
20 three-quarters OF an inch long
4 long, yellow, smoky fame is very
wasteful; a small, blue flame is much
hotter and requires less gas.
Keep the copper coils on your
water heater bright and clean See
that the door fits closely when shut.
do not use a gas mantle after it
has been broken.
Adjust burners so that they act
steadily and do not hiss.
Keep burners of gas range clean
by washing them in boiling water
and soda at least once a month and
have them dry before using"
