Ounces.

Perhaps you have a ounce bush in
your back yard. If so, you are lucky
for ounces are used for all sort of
delicious sweets. Canned they make
quite as good salads as pineapples or
pears. Many people like them for
sauce
And ounce honey rivals the real
product and makes the bees look to
their laurels.
Ounce chips are a homely sweet
meat that were much favored in the
"Mid-Victorian" period. But ounces
are not a delicately favored fruit and
require some care in working up.
Ounce Honey.
Pare and core ounces. Crate or
put through the fine knife Of the food
chopper. To three cups of grated
ounce add one cup of water and cook
until tender. Add four cups of grann-
lated sugar and cook Is minutes. Pour
into jars and seal while hot.
Ounce Chips.
Six pounds ounces. 10 cups sugar,
1-3 pound crystallized ginger, 3 lem
Ons.
Pare and cut ounces in very thin
slices. Wash lemons and cut in very
thin slices. Remove seeds and as
much Of the skin-like intersections
as possible. Cut ginger in paper-thin
slices. Cover ounce slices with water
and cook until water is eyaporated.

LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO
MIR. JOSEPH GRAVES
HAMILTON
MY DEAR HUSBAND:

MY DEAR HUSBAND:
The Queerest thing possible has
happened, Joe dear, and it seems 20
me as if it were a direct interpoSi-
ton of Providence.
You remember when you were here
last, we talked over the feasibility of
bringing a baby TO Leslie and seeing
IL We could not interest her in it.
The night before last Leslie did not
seem as well as usual. Kept moaning
even in her sleep. Yesterday morn
ing, much the surprise of every one.
she called as soon as she awoke for
Jack. And when he came she said.
Il want TO go home.
Jack seemed 10 think that she want
ed TO come 10 our home snd be sent
for me post haste. However, before
/ was dressed and had gotten TO her
room. she explained TO Jack that she
meant their own apartment.
OF course every one. including the
doctor. was perfectly delighted to hear
her make some request. and within an
hour We had her hack in her own
bedroom. and l again had taken the
apartment across the hall for myself
and the nurses.
For 8 little time she seemed much
brighter yesterday morning. although
the ride and the settling Of her in
her home tired her greatly. About
noon she went 70 sleep and slept IN
I'll late in the afternoon. When she
awoke she esked. Where is my baby:
Bring hin 70 ne.
No one dared answer. She seemed
10 have forgotten all about her acct
dent and her long illness and 10 think
only that We were keeping her ba5y
from her. She was quite delirioUs
and only sank 70 Sleef after the
doctor had give. her s narcotic.
! confess We were al very much
worried jock thought that she would
never recover hs- normal mind again.
i found hin about half past nine in
his room whore be had thrown him
self across his bed. sobbing.
Its q terrible thing. Joe. TO see 4
man give up and weep. And Jack
has been SO splendid and SO strong
through it all. l thought. however.
at one time. he too. was losing his
mind. for he seemed 10 think that
all OF Leslie's trouble was a punish
ment to him. I tried TO tell him that
he had been devotion itself to Leslie;
that / would not ask my own son 20
be sweeter to the girl he had married
than he had been to my daughter
And he made very queer remark to
me, Joe. He said, "Oh, Mother Ham
ilton, you do not know-you do not
know"

Have New Exhibit Halls.
Horse Races a Feature.
Fireworks Will Be Good.
Carnival Is Best in Years.

Seguin, Tex, Sept. 2O.-The sew
enth annual Guadalupe County fair
TO be held at Seguin on September %
%, ~, rs and 20. gives promise OF
surprising all previous efforts of the
association of Guadalupe county cit,
zens who have charge of this annual
affair.
The addition of another day in the
length of the event will add to the in,
terest of the general public, prevent
excessive crowding and afford oppor
tunity for the attendance of all.
New Exhibit Halls.
Two new buildings have been added
to the grounds. The largest of these,
the livestock building, covers a space
of S0x200 feet, and the entries already
announced give promise of overflow
ing the structure. Entries of live
stock have been listed by Secretary
George j. Kempen from all points of
the state and the dairy interest in the
fair is keen.
The other new structure added t0
the grounds is the automobile build
ing, a structure 66x75 feet. Space in
this building has already been ell.
gagged up to its capacity, and the
automobile show will surely be a big
feature.
A Carnival Show.
The Loos Carnival Shows have been
engaged and the company promises all
of the former big events, with several
new features added to their roster
This is the same company that ex-
hibited in Seguin at previous fairs,
and their interest and popularity can
be attested by the large attendance at
former events, both in SegIin and in
other sections of Southwest Texas.

Lamp Wicks.
Wipe lamp wicks with soft pa.

straighter wick than to cut with scis-

Tissue Paper.
Save the odd pieces of tissue paper
which come to the house. They make
excellent window wipers and are
valuable for packing and padding.
Gasoline OdOrs.
Pressing with warm iron will

Makes Success of Annual Farm Show

Carthage, Mo-, Sept. 2O.-"It's a
mistake to believe that farmers want,
TO see rlsque shows and gamble at
fairs. They prefer to see good live
stock
Running q fair is a business and
an all-year job even though the fair
lasts only four or five days of the
year"
a woman can run a fair as well
as a man if she puts the same amount
OF fight and energy into her work"
These are the declarations of Miss
Emma r. Knell, for 30 years secre-
tary and manager of the Southwest
Missouri Fair held here annually.
In this part of Missouri almost
everyone calls it Miss Emma's
fair" That is tribute to a womans
efficient management of the institu-
ton.
Until recently Miss Knell was the
only woman secretary of fair in
the country. Now there are three
or four others, she says.
Inherits Business.
A quarter of a century age Miss
Knell's father, Edward Knell, start
ed the Southwest Missouri fair
mostly because of his love of race
horses and fine stock.
From her father Miss Knell in
herited that same love of fine ami
mails. From the day she took charge.

Judge l. C.. Davies Tells of
Two Kinds in North
Dakota

At the noon day luncheon of the
Lions club at the Grand Pacific
hotel today Judge I. c. Davies ex-
planned the two kinds cf wills, the
Geographic and statutory, and the
proceedings in handling an es-
tate of q deceased person.
He explained that the Geographic
was one drawn up by the person
himself in his own handwriting
and to which there were no wit
nesses. In this he said there " re
no formalities in the execution
The Statutory will, it was ex-
planned, was enc drawn up by
someone else but singned by the
maker in the presence of two wit
nesses who were told that the
document they were signing was
the will of the maker, and in turn
signed by the witnesses in the
presence of each other and of the
maker,
Judge Davies said that it was
always best to have a will Writ
ten in simple language, for not
infrequently when complicated it
defeated the purpose at which the
maker aimed.
After explaining the kinds of
will to be made in the state ct
North Dakota, Judge Davies dis
cussed the subject Of guardianship
and ward in connection with the

He distinguished between admin
istrators who were appointed by

tors. who were appointed to take
charge of the estate of a person
leaving i will. The fact that all
