The old-timers say they never saw
June so phenomenal in its behavior
as this, when the weather has contln-
ued so cold, dry and windy. June is
usually the hottest month Of the year,
in which the highest temperatures are
recorded. However, this year in Pitt
man Valley the temperature has crept
down below freezing almost every
night of the month Jack Frost is ex-
ercising eternal vigilance and is keep
ing right on the job. The coldest
night, on which occurred the big
frost, was the morning of June 18th,
when it was Is degrees below freezing
and Ia degrees above zero. The frost
nipped about 100 acres of beans in
Red Lake, which are not being plant
ed over again. Tom Wagner thinks
the North Pole is hid somewhere
around Pittman Valley. If he ever
finds It, he is going to haul it off and
dump it in Sycamore Canyon, so that
the weather will warm up, and that
we may enjoy a little summer before
fail sets in.
+ The weather will warm up and there
will be doings worth while at the Il.
X. Gleason ranch, In Plttman Valley,
on the 4tt July. The big commun-
ity dinng will be at 2 o'clock. There
will be sports for the young and old,
and an entertainment by the school
children. In the evening viii be the
big dance on the new dance platform.
Bring your baskets, well filled, and
join in the good time in Pittman Vail
10y this Fourth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Patten, who live
at Davenport Lake, have a nice baby
wild cat. The little fellow at first
didn't like the idea Of being domes-
ticated into just an old house cat, and
left. He was gone several days, and
then returned, ravenously hungry, and
glad to get back. The little wild cat
is now again enjoying his meals OF
warm milk and seems thankful to
have a good home. He will be play
mate for the pet deer that the Plat
tens have.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY
WHEN SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
90. 1892, Harland H. Allen)
"BRINGING HOME THE
BACON"

You can usually select between at
least three grades of bacon at the
market There is a fancy breakfast
bacon, a medium, and standard or
fair grade, besides the dry-salt and
sweet-pickle bellies. The price of the
cheapest grade is about half that of
the fancy breakfast bacon.
1t may be purchased very lean, me
dium, or fat, according to taste. a
good quality is about half fat The
cheaper grades have larger proper
ton of fat. Other points which infiu-
ence grade are the texture, firmness
and color of the meat, size of cuts, and
the arrangement of lean and fat. The
frnciest bacon has several strips of
lean interspersed with thin layers Of
fat, while the fat in the cheaper grades
lies near one edge of the meat.
Because bacon is cured meat. it is
often kept too carelessly, especially in
tie home. BY wrapping tightly in
heavy paper bacon can be kept reason
ably safe from mold. And If the pa
per is changed frequently it will not
faint other food in the refrigerator.
The great popularity of bacon ia
doubtless due to its fine flavor, but
it is also very nutritious, and the fat
in bacon is said to be the most easily
digested Of all fats except butter.
II you can buy meat in some guam
tity, and are equipped to ''siice your
\, III I,A
way. Bacon cuts up best when very
cold. Slice down to the rind until you
have enough, then slip the knife be-
tween rind and fat.
Many housewives think of bacon as
ar expensive meat, but only, | think,
because fancy breakfast bacon is or
dered for any and every purpose.
Some people would really prefer the
fatter grades and could reduce the cost
that way. Then when the use is for
seasoning, or cooking with vegetables,
the lower priced grades are often quite
as good. For dipping in flour to fry,
the pure white unsmoked salt pork
makes a very delicious dish, and is
the cheapest of all.
Bacon lends itself to economies
quite as much as any meat. Most
every shop has 'bacon ends. too short
to run in the slicer, which are sold at
a reduction. And nearly every pack
ing house puts out a special cheap cut
like the squares from the iowl, which
are very useful in the proper place.

and all seemed to be succeeding III
making extra money by this work.
In another part Of the state an old,
loom, brought over from England 150
years ago, was seen. The woman who
owned it NOT only used it to weave
rugs but also made beautiful woven
wool coverlets Of unusual designs,
showing not little ingenuity in max
ing up new patterns. She, too, was
teaching others in her community to
make rugs and coverlets
In addition to pulled and woven
rugs. many Of the popular rag rugs
are made, including the braided and
crocheted types. Crazy quilts" and

MAKING A LIVING

Mt. States Monitor:-
II is a fascinating business-Mak-
ing a living. None more so. And
there are SO many people engaged in
it and SO many ways of doing it.
Ii some ancestor with thrifty FORE
thought did not provide US with a
ready made living, or someone is not
now providing out Of his largess for
us-and these cases are exceedingly
rare-it becomes rather necessary
that we get out and hustle for our
selves. And this is very often the
very best thing that could happen TO
us-up to q certain point, at least,
where we have done our bit and
should rest.
We are apt to lose sight Of the
fact that making living isn't all of
it. Such marvellous things are be-
ing achieved-such great accomplish
ments are wrought while the children
of men are making living. They
hit the lire Of hard resistance often
times because they must; stern neces-
sity is right back Of them with q
sharp spur. So obstacles give way
and they 90 on TO surmount other
obstacles still more formidable. Great
inventions are thot out and planned,
while some obscure human is strug-
Cling for q living. Books that will
live thru the ages were written be-
cause their authors had to make q
living.
And, in the joy of well-tried
strength these children of men pursu-
ing their destiny, come in time to
forget that it is q matter Of making
q living, It becomes a matter Of &C
complement, of achievement, of SER
vice, of being worth while, not .
cumberer of the ground during our
sojourn in a world where there -
work for every brain and every pair
of hands.

Were you ever in the mountains
On a moonlit summer night,
With the creek 4 whispering gently.
And the stars a-gleaming bright ,
When the pines were softly talking,
To the silvery aspen trees,
And you felt the cool, caressing touch
OF fragrant little breeze! '
Did you ever think on such a night,
That the stars seem very near
That you could reach and gather some
For An earthly chandelier?
Oh. the glory Of the mountains
On such . night n this
Is beyond the futile utterances-
Is the height Of earthly bliss.
There is something in the beauty
o. summer night so fair,
Makes me feel the vigilant presence
OF God is with me there.

Agricultural College News Notes.
For many years cod-liver oil bore
the reputation Of being a tonic par
excellence but no one knew just why.
Now It is known that this oil is re-
markably rich in vitamin A, which
probably constitutes its chief value as
a tonic. The origin of vitamin in
cod-liver oil is discussed in Nature,
NOV. 1929 and may be summarized
as follows: Recent Investigations in
dictate that marine diatomes or algae
synthesize the vitamin, and II Is
transferred to the tissues of minute
animals, which live upon the unicel-
are eaten by small fish, which in turn
are eaten by large ones, such as the
cod. Thus the vitamin finally comes
to be stored in the liver Of the cod
and serves as a blessing, no longer in
disguise.

There were not so many Gunnison

1t spoiled the holiday and likewise
her brother, Toms wedding. He and
Carrie Meeks were married day be-

Oh, yes, we were right, Joe Riley
and Miss Lenora Rogers were mar
ried last week. The wedding was at

Mrs. Murray and daughters, Grace
and Maud, came over for her BROTH
er's wedding. but had to go. back the
next night 70 Salida, as a telegram
was sent her, stating Mr.. Murray was
very i'll.
Jack and l had quite visit at the
springs. He is quite in love with
Whitepine. He says that w. J. Rattle
of Cleveland, Ohio, is out ut the camp,
looking over the Akron mine, in which
he is heavily interested and also is
consulting engineer.
Two state agents Of the Financial
Contract company, p. A. Westrope
and NJ. Crabbe, spent the week out
there. They are travelling over the
country on bycicles, and claim it beats
railroad travel.
B.W. Lewis was also at the springs,
going on to Whitepine with Jack. Mr.
Lewis owns several hundred acres in
the vicinity of some rich iron deposits
at Whitepine, and 1t is rumored that
the Rio Grande is planning on build
ing thru them.
Jack says that Mrs. Richard Yates,
mother of Dick Yates, went back to
Victor for the summer. Whitepine
was too high for her.
Helen has gone to another party
this evening. Mrs. Robert Hards il
