 Acting as spokesman for Mir. Baird. who recently succeeded Will liam Nurdock as prohibition admin- js.rator for this district, Captain Yates D.

The Rhyming
Optimist
Lure of Home
BY Aline Michaens

Some go seeking the distant places
where an argent star CLEANS high,
they are lured by the silent spaces and
the light of wind-swept sky. They
are dreaming. forever dreaming,
dreaming Of a promised land to gain,
Of continent fairer seeming where
the summer knows no wane. But for
Inc, there's goa that is nearer,
though as bright to my happy eyes,
and for me there's a pathway dearer
than the highways the world may
prize. Few can measure the depths
of longing by the things which are
real, not seen, and from out earth's
great masses, thronging, few can grasp
at the truth / mean. But enough
that a child's shrill laughter browns
call that might bid me roam and a
woman's kiss waits thereafter,
there's no lure like the lure of home!

Clinging vines may have gone out

Many Forms
of Apples
By Hannah Wing

Although there are numberless ways
OF using apples in cookery, the fresh
apple itself should be used occasional
ly. AS much care should be taken in
preparing it is canteloupe, grapefruit
or any other fruit. 1t is best slightly
chilled, which gives it crispness.
APPLE SNOW DRIFT.
Three-fourths cup sour apple pulp,
sugar, lemon juice and three egg
whites.
Pare, quarter and crate enough APP
pies to make the required amount Of
apple pulp. Add sugar and lemon
juice to taste and fold into stiffly beat
en- whites very gradually. Pile on q
glass dish, chill and serve with Gus
tard sauce or cream.
Salads always give an opportunity
Of using fresh apples and many OF
these salads are among the finest Of
the winter season. One of the most
refreshing apple salads is made with
freshly chopped mint and celery.
APPLE AND MINT SALAD.
One and one-half cups apple, diced I:
IL cups celery cut in pieces, IA
teaspoon salt, IL teaspoons finely
chopped mint.
Combine apple and celery with salt
and enough mayonnaise dressing to
hold them together. Arrange on crisp
tender leaves of romaine and sprinkle
with the chopped mint. Serve with
extra mayonnaise dressing.
Cocnnut gives delightful combi-
nation of nut and apple flavor to sal
ads and it is always ready to use and
so saves the time required to shell,
blanch and cut other nuts. Here is a
real company" recipe:
One and one-half cups mixed diced
tart apples and celery, IL cup Shred
ded cocoanut, tablespoon lemon juice
tablespoons oil, 4 tablespoons orange
juice, salt, paprika. lettuce leaves.
currant or plum jelly.
Mix the apples, celery and cocoanut,
Sprinkle with the lemon juice. Add q
French dressing made from the oil and
orange juice, with salt and paprika
TO taste. Line salad bowl with let-
tuce leaves and pile chilled salad in
center. Dot with currant or plum
jelly.

ease themselves by blaming the other
chap. They cannot lean ON other peo-
pie nor let other people shape their
lives. They cannot make excuses 10
themselves nor expect others to xcuse
them.
They must stand alone and they
must face the terrible loneliness that
is the price of freedom and power.
That's how people get to be Some

Not by talent or luck, but by ever
lastingly riding hard on themselves.
And there's nothing thrilling in that.
Which is why there are so few

For the Melodies won't pay the

Meditations of
a Wife
Fathers Day.
BY Helen Rowland

/
What is this in my Beloved's eye,
that maketh it to glow as brightly as
a California sunrise?
Yea. what is THIS in my Beloved's
eye that maketh it to shine with
vanity when he catcheth sight of his
image in the slot-machine mirror?
What Is this in my Beloved's eye
that causeth it to sparkle with delight
when he examineth his golf-clubs and
appraiseth the weather?
What Is this in my Beloved's eye
that maketh it to glitter with covet-
business, when he gazeth upon the
rainbow-hued temptations of the haber-
dasher's window and with longing upon
scarlet neckties and purple socks?
What is this in my Beloved's eye
that causeth him to linger upon street
corners, where he may behold the fem
mime parade pass by and to appraise
every damsel as jury in a beauty
contest?
What is this in my + loved's eye
that maketh it to light up at the APP
proach Of every passing flapper, and
to follow wistfully after blondes and
brunettes alike?
What is this in my Beloved's eye
that causeth it to glow with sacret
admiration, at his own reflection in
the shop-window, while he adjustc.h
his cravat, and tippeth his hat more
jauntily over one ear?
What Is this in my Beloveds eve,
that causeth it to linger thoughtfully
upon the florists window and to pause
before the confectioner's window in
meditation?
What is this in my Beloved's eye
that maketh it to glisten with joyful
anticipation, even as the eye of
small boy that beholdeth his first
Christmas tree?
Behold. Il is that SATURDAY
AFTERNOON-LOOK!"
And who shall mistake It?
For verify, verify, upon five days of
the week a man doeth his labors and
gazeth soberly out upon the world,
seeing naught therein to delight him.
But upon the Sixth Day, he fareth
forth in search of diversion and adj
venture.
Yea, he is as a schoolboy that
playeth hockey and goeth fishing.
And all the world looketh GOOD to
him!
For this is Fathers Day-0ff!
