THE BUFFERS PANTRY.

ahead undisturbed with pots. pans and
food dishes in the kitchen.
Often, however, the buffers pantry
has no sink or running water. 1t Is
then the repository for fine dishes and
for various accessories of the table.
1t is a good plan to keep vases tor
flowers in one shelf specially set aside
for this purpose. and if there is baby
in the family the buffers pantry is al
excellent place TO Keep the various
dishes and utensils needed in prepar-
ing his food. If there is shelf room
enough, it is a good trick to have all
the equipment needed for afternoon
tea in one shelf.
The buffers pantry is very often
badly planned There should be the
maximum of shelf and drawer space
with the minimum of floor space. The
buffers pantry so long and marrow
that shelves can be built only on one
side is badly planned A wider shorter
pantry with shelves on two sides is
more economical of space.

When a splinter las gone

The suction draws the hesh

There are fewer and fewer buffers
pantries in the newly built houses and
more and more breakfast hooks. so
called. At present most builders ana
architects seem to feel that the but
lers pantry is out of place in the
small house, and that the money and
space devoted TO such part OF the
house can be better expended i'll other
ways So While a good sized ana well
equipped buffers pantry used TO be
one Of the things that most house
builders looked upon as essential to
the selling house, they are more apt
now to regard the breakfast nook as
lure to prospective buyers.
Say what you will, there was and is
great comfort to be derived from
buffers pantry. The we'll equipped
buffers pantry usually had SINK
with running water for the Washing
of dishes that did not have to be car
ried to the kitchen-glaS SSes. cups ana
saucers and cleaner dishes generally.
Such an arra ngement really does give
much help in clearing up after meal,
especially if there is more than one
to do the work. One person can go
ahead with the washing of fine dishes

Clues to Character
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.
The Impulsive Eye.

Persons with wide-open eyes WIN
much white showing act upon mn

fiighty, unbalanced, erratic disposl-
ton have much white sufroohuiiS

Look into the mirror Whlie Sou'
ewes are wide open and try TO CON
centrate on some difficult prOh!en.
You will find it almost inlposslpie 10
think clearly and reason iogicailH.
Those with this kind n eye olteh
become criminals because OF thousht-
lessness. rashness and lack of appfe
citation of consequences. They are hot
logical reasoners and cannot see in
advance the consequences that VIII
follow their acts.
The disciplined. self-controheu ci''''
acters Use their eyes in far an eIeli
manner from these classes. heN
move them in a precise ana orderly
way. They do not roll them in aston

No one will deny that the eyes 40
reveal character, disposition ana
often the mental capacity of the lnd'-
yidual. We all know that love. rear

but had improved by April 1st.
Later in that month heart dis
ease developed and she had great
difficulty in breathing, it finally
causing her demise.
Rigmor Johanne Christensen,
also known by the name of Irene,
was born at Ringsted, Denmark,
on Dec. II, 1903, being % years
old on her last birthday. AS a
little girl, in 1907, she came with
her parents to America, the fami-
ly settling on a farm at Water
town, S. D., where they remained
until the spring, 1916, when they
came to Askov and have since
lived on a farm, 4 miles north
and J mile east of town. She was
the second oldest of the children,
her sister, Mrs. Jacob Jensen be-
ing the oldest, and since the
death of her mother 81 years ago,
has been like a mother to her
younger sisters and brothers. She
was a quiet and pleasant young
woman and the vacancy caused
by her departure will be greatly
felt in the family circle. Besides
her father she leaves five sisters
and three. brothers to mourn her
untimely passing.
The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon from the Danish Luth-
eran church, Rev. S. D. Rodholm
preaching the last sad rites, and
the body was given its final rest
ing place besides that of her
mother in the local cemetery.
The paHbearers were: A. J. Lar
sen, J. J. Jensen, James Krogh,
C.. P. Christensen, D. J. Adolph-
sen, and N. G.. Petersen.

Vincent Laska, a farmer west

callers in Askov Saturday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jeppe Sorensen
drove. over to Clayton, Wis.,, and
visited relatives there, from Sat-

also stopped off at Centuria and
visited old friends there. '&">.
0. R. Keller and Peter Linn
have taken a contract to build a
new house for Otto Skov, work
on same being started short
time ago; the building will be
24x30 feet. Mr.. Skov will also
build a basement barn, 32x4O #.
The foundation for same has just
been finished. H.
Martin Miller, who has been
employed at the Askov Garage
the past year, terminated his
services there Saturday. He has
now made arrangements to start
up for himself and will be ready
for business in a few days in the
garage part of the Askov Hard
ware Company building.
A number of people reported
for work at the local cemetery
Friday and Saturday, and there
were also several teams and
trucks. Much good work was &C
complished, paths dug out and
graveled, and the cemetery as a
whole now presents a very good
appearance. Good neighbors
served lunch and the two after
Moons were proftably and pleas
antly spent. A good looking
cemetery adds greatly to the ap-
pearance of any community and
makes for a place where it is
good to spend some time in medi-
tation. -

evening was vastly enjoyed by
all. Most of the success of the
evening was due to Miss Browns
careful planning and the enthu-
siasm with which the girls en-
tered into the work.
All the members of the Animal
Husbandry class went to the Uni
versity Farm last Saturday. Ru-
dolph Frokjer had arranged for
guide to show the boys around
and explain things to them. On
Saturday was held the Annual
Live Stock show of the Block and
Bride club; this is show put
on by. the students of the college
of agriculture, thus an added in
terest to the trip. The boys
went through the motor shops,
the dairy laboratories, the cream
cry and ice cream plants, the
dairy barns, the experimental
feeding barns, the veterinarian
museum, the poultry plant, the
beef cattle and hog barns, the
machinery hall and some of the
experiment plots. Many new
and wonderful things were re-
vealed to the boys; many of them
expressed a desire to spend a
winter attending the school Of
Agriculture or the college of Ag-
riculture. Aside from a flat
tire and a blowout" it was a
very profitable and pleasant day.
No doubt one or more of these
boys will some time take course
at the University Farm.

Friends and neighbors will

account of Mr.. Juhl being laid up
with blood poison in the foot.
His son, Marius, who has been
working at Pontiac, Mich, is also
i'll with blood poison. He has it
in the hand and is laid up in a
Pontiac hospital.
1t is quite common at base ball
games between small towns that
players cuss and disagree with
the rulings of the umpires. The
fans who follow the Askov team
this year will however find ex-
tremely little, if any, arguing;
for at recent meeting of the
players on the Askov team it
was decided that any player who
argues or disagrees with the UNI
pire will be fined one dollar for
the first offense, and if he enters
into second dispute he will be
taken out of the game. If other
teams in the Pine County League
will make similar rulings there
will surely be some nice clean
games.
