THE SAND MAN PLAY

Come here, little boy; let us write a fine play. The twilight announces the close of the day. Come here to my arms and we'll work out a plot, and you'll be the star of the play, lit tie tot. The first act shows baby at supper, my dear. He finishes soon and 'tis then that we hear: "I want to dit down, muyver; help me-I'm fru." She does and he gives her a kiss, maybe two. The next act is on the hero comes in. His name is Joe Sandman; he's neat as a pin. He stops up to baby just as the day dies and smiles as he sprinkles some sand in his eyes. Then six tiny elves all dressed In sober deep gray take baby and carry him down to the bay. Upon a wee ship he is placed by the band and soon he is sailing for Dream away Land. There's just one more act to play, little one. The hero stays near till faint ray of sun comes creeping along as the herald of dawn Then mother appears and the hero is gone. She picks up her boy and the ship brings them back as daylight is fading the nights inky black. Then two big, blue eyes start to blink and to peep. Here, here. MT. Playwright! Whats this-fast asleep?

''Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom"
 Matthew, xvi, 2S.
 The legends of the Wandering Jew are numerous and varied,s but the germs out of which they have all been developed are the words of the Saviour on the cross, as quoted above or an almost identical sentence from Mark ix., 1.
 The earliest mention of the Wan dering Jew is found in a book of chronicles of the Abbey of St. AL bans. How old these chronicles are nobody knows. They were first brought to light in 1928.
 The best known tale of the Wan dering Jew is that Of Eugene Sue, but by far the most interesting is that of Lew Wallace, the author of is coughing and we are worried; and tell Uncle Henry how bad business is and how everybody is complaining g and that you hope your salary won't be reduced the first of the year.
 But at this season of the year one should write to make others happy faltered MT. Jarr.
 Huh! Do you think you'd make friend or relative happy by telling him you are well and properous?' retorted Mrs. Jarr.
 q guess you're right" said MT. Jarr.

 That is a very good idea, little Weekly" Raggedy Ann said "I will make the balloon out of cream puff dough so that it will be light and fluffy and sail through the air" So Raggedy Ann asked all the others to help her and everyone rolled up their sleeves and soon were busy.

CHRISTMAS GOOSE

Goose Is the accepted bird for the Christmas dinner and if carefully prepared a young goose is delicious. A goose must be more thoroughly cleaned than any other poultry. After singeing and removing pin feathers, scrub the goose in hot soap suds Remove the insides and thoroughly rinse the bird both inside and out side with cold water. Wipe dry be- fore stuffing. Bake in hot oven. If you have no double pan baste every fifteen minutes. During first hour of baking keep the breast covered with buttered paper. An eight-pound goose will cook in three hours.
 Dressing.
 Two small onions chopped fine and fried in a little butter, two cupfuls mashed potatoes, well seasoned, one cup bread crumbs salt, pepper and powdered sage to taste. Mix thor oughly. If the onion dressing is preferred, peel a dozen onions and cook tender in boiling salted water. To minimize the strong odor and taste the water should be poured off after ten minutes cooking and fresh boiling water poured over them. When onions are cooked, drain and chop fine, add one an a half cupfuls stale bread crumbs. one tea spoonful powdered sage and salt and pepper to taste.
 O O O
 Crowned Apples.
 Apples are the general accom- paniment to roast goose. Usually they are served in the form of apple sauce. but for change pare as many apples as required and brown them in a mixture of equal portions ? of butter and sugar. When nicely Drowned. stew in sufficient broth to barely cover. Remove apples as soon as tender, boil the broth to glaze and roll the apples in it. If you prefer, the apples can be fried. Cut tart apples into quarters and fry in butter, sprinkled with sugar until tender and nicely browned Some cooks fill the goose with ap- ples instead of mixed dressing.

 "No, sirP Raggedy Andy sadly replied, T got a kind honey bee to carry the thread up to the top window in Hookie, the Collins house.

THE PEOPLES
CANAL CD,
ELECT BOARD
W. o. COTTON TELLS OF THE BEN.
EFITS THE WATER USERS DE.
RIVE THROUGH ORGANIZATION.
PEOPLES CANAL GET 3,56S MORE
ACRE-FEET OF WATER IN 199sA
WITH LESS In RIVER.

The Peoples Canal Company held
their annual Stockholders meeting
Monday afternoon in the meeting
house at oMreland. W. o. Cotton was
present and addressed the stockhold-
ers on the benefits derived from the
Upper Snake River Water Users Un-
ion. The following are some of Mr..
Cotton's remarks as to the benefits
for the Peoples Canal last year:
Canals were not cut to their decreed
rights as early in 1922 as In 1891
with even less water passing Heise.
This gave the Peoples Canal $50 acre
feet of extra flood water in July.
Decreed rights were not cut deep
in 1922 as in 1921, also with less water
passing Heise. This gave the Peoples
Canal 1858 acre feet over 1921, early
in August.
The Peoples Canal decree was cut
August 1921 and the gates shut
down. August 1, 1922 we were run
ming full head unmolested, with 346
second feet (or 1880 miners in.)
less water passing Heise. In addi-
tion the ringfield-Aberdeen and
Harrison Canals were drawing a full
head, (both later DEGREES than the
Peoples,) aggregating 1900 second feet
Tor $4,000 miners in.) giving thsse
canals an advantage over 1921-1S45
second feet (or 92,250 miners in.)
Data has been gathered to support
claims to supplement DEGREES; foun-
dation has been laid for adjustment
OF losses at Jackson Lake and on the
transmission of storage water in
Snake river Some of our gains for
1922 are-Better knowledge of affairs
on the river, use of $50 acre feet flood
water, 26SS acre feet early in August.
1868 acre feet of water. The recla-
nation lease their water in Jackson
Lake at $1.00 per acre foot This
alone has given us gain Of $3,56S.00
We will also get our share of future
adjustments.
The matter of agreeing on a sys-
tenn Of delivery and distribution Of all
water Of Snake river will be settled
for 1928 at the annual election of
water master which will be held at
Twin Falls on the first Monday in
March and since this agreement in
wolves tremendous amount of aur
property it would seem only proper
that this matter be given some time
and attention preceding the election
rather than undertake to settle such
In important matter on the spur OF
he moment
The annual election followed Mr..
