A noted book by a noted man
Is "The Brown Mouse" by Her
bert Quick. It's a story of the
fascination that lies both in
farming and teaching-if you
look for 1T the right way. It's
read everywhere because it's a
charming story, yet it's so
practical that it's come to be a
sort of text book. It's ideas
have been adopted far and wide
as a part of the legitimate adj
vancement of the sciences of
farming and teaching.
A Scotch scientist crossed the
japanese Waiting mouse on the
common white NOUS and got a
brown mouse which was different
from any other mouse in the
world. Well, young Jim Irwin is
the brown mouse. He's a field
hand-and a latent genius. Jen-
ME Woodruff likes him, but can't
see a husband in him. A a
teal joke results in Jim becom-
Ing the village school teacher.
Thereupon Jim proceeds to rock
the boat so hard that the waves
scare the community and the
ripples run state wide.
Experience is a great teacher.
Herbert Quick has been farmer,
schoolmaster, lawyer, editor, pub
lie servant, social worker. war
worker and several other things.
Now he's probably more novelist
than anything else, with a dozen
good books to his credit and the
output getting better and bet

huge success and THE Hawkeye."

successful. You see, Herbert
Quick knows what he's writing
about.

USE MILK IN DREAMED DISHES
Various Ways Outlined Of Adding Real
Food VaIue-Amount OF Salt
Will Vary.

Milk toast, cream soups, creamed
vegetables, creamed fish and scalloped
dishes are all good ways OF putting
more milk into the daily food Of the
family. The milk for all of those is
thickened into a sauce, thick or thin.
The amOunt of salt needed depends
to a certain extent on the material
with which the sauce Is served. Pota-
toes, for example, would need plenty
OF salt, while a thin milk soup might
not require so much. The following
directions are given by the United
States Department Of Agriculture:
To make the sauces, melt the fat,
stir In the flour, add the milk gradu-
ally and cook until thickened, stirring
constantly unless you use a double
boiler.

medium sauce. The chief use for the
thick sauce is as a binding material
in croquettes and loaves.

WHY IS THE SENATE

Communication to the Editor of the
 Washington Postl
 We have been working on the fol lowing conundrum: "Why is the Sen ate like marriage?" Some of the an swers are as follows:
 Because it repents at leisure" Because 1t is bossed by a noisy weaker element."
 Because it is ashamed of its poor relations in another House"
 Because all it's quarrels are not be- hind closed doors.
 Because it licks the platter clean. "Because it's talk runs over into night sessions"
 Because it is smothered with bad bills"
 Because each party suspects the other"
 Because sometimes it takes force to bring a man into t"
 Because it is always facing de ficit.
 Because t must make the best of q bad bargain
