wv INTER is an excellent time
w to think of luscious frozen

NV INTER is an excellent time
w to think of luscious frozen
desserts, since most people
eat more rich foods during the cold
weather than at any other time
heavy roast meats, rich dressings,
candy, cake and whatnot, and the
housewife who uses forethought
will have on her menu lists some
light desserts, easy to prepare, but
tempting and attractive. Frozen
desserts are especially good.
From the eternal summertime
of Hawaii comes pineapple, to add
it's golden color and its tropical
flavor to these iced delicacies. Ha-
waiian pineapple is especially
adapted for desserts because its
rich juice contains digestive
property which aids in the diges-
tion of meats.
Frozen Pineapple Bisque is a
delicate but delicious dessert sim
pie to prepare. Boil fifteen min
utes, two cups water and one cup
sugar. Add the syrup drained
from a medium can of crushed Ha-
waiian pineapple and freeze. Be-
fore the mixture has frozen hard,
fold in the crushed pineapple, from
which the syrup has been drained,
and one cup whipped cream. Pack
and allow to stand one hour before
serving.
Pineapple Frapp6 Hawaiian
combines crushed with sliced pine
apple in novel and pleasing way.
Mix one cup sugar and two cups
water. Boil for twelve minutes.

WHAT CAUSES FLOODS?

The rainfall of this year of our
Lord is perhaps little different from
the rainfall sixty years ago. In the
past, forsets held back the flood
waters. Marsh lands and lakes stored
them up and let the water seep away
gradually to the sea.
Today heavy rainfall means a
flood. There is nothing to check the
waters. The forests are gone. Creeks
and rivers have been Strengthened to
save few acres here or there. And
still the ditchers are working, laying
the way for more floods in the future.
Their one plea is more land for agri-
culture. Look up the figures on the
idle farm lands in this country today

carry a rabbit foot. l amt hitting
any too well"
"Sure it would. But it's got to be
the left hind foot, and you've got to
get it in cemetery at midnight"
ugh! l couldn't do that" James
shuddered.
It'd mean fifty points onto your
average"
isn't there something else that
would help?"
well, when you see load of
empty barrels on your way to the
park, you must get out of the taxi and
walk to the park. Otherwise you'll
have bad day."
81 don't believe that" James de-
clared.
"It's true"
What other jokes do you do?"
They're not jokes. For instance, if
cripple with his right leg missing
begs from you in the morning, you
won't be able to hit right-handed
pitching. And"
II want to think this over" James
blurted. He located Doc.
"Can you get a load of empty bar
rels to meet our cab this afternoon?''
"Sure. Are you on the right track? q
yep"
James and Augie rode away toward
the ball park after lunch in company
with Duke and Galloway. Before long
Augie losed a roar. Look! Empty
barrels! Now We'll have to walk" He
signalled to the driver.

What's the big idea?" Galloway de-
manded.
James cut in. bad luck to see bar

don't mean anything, let's go on, and
see if we lose today"
.Never! I have the teams interest

Come on, get out of here"

still, and tell the driver to be on his
way. You won't have bad luck; there
amt no such animal"
"No, because I'm going to walk. Il
you fellows want to lose the game
that's your business. But it's toe
bad" He stood up as James gave the
driver the order to go ahead. With {
wild snort Augie tore open the door
and landed on pile of sand along the
curb.
Hell credit that to something,
Galloway laughed. We've got tt
play like fools today, fellows"
But-this is queer old world. TIL,

Good Showing on Farm Island

". A. Swenson was in town the first of the week from his home stead on Farm Island. MT. Sven son is an experienced gardener and is doing some splendid work on his ranch adapting the principles of gardening to the soil and climate of this section.
 He has about an acre and a half in root vegetables, rutabagas, car rots and parsnips which are about ready for digging. For the past five seasons he has been developing variety of potato in one of his experimental plats which he will plant next year for the market.
 MT. SWenson brought in a bunch of barley that cannot be exeelled anywhere for full, heavy heads. He has 215 acres of barley and in order to harvest it, had to resort to the primitive methods of our grandfather day,
 He procured an oldfashioned grass seythe, with a handle four or five feet long, then got suitable piece of oak from one of the local boat shops and most ingeniously fash toned an oldtime cradle with which he cut the barley He has also made a fail and will shortly get busy on muscle power and thresh out the grain.
 Most unfortunately theranchers on Farm Island did not know of the change in date for the Com munity Fair and their fine products were not entered.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The cot

Moderate declines were sustained
in the early period on southern com

of the October position. The latter
was due to the issuance OF October

able. Cables from Liverpool we're
