this morning. Instinctively she
felt that her mother. with all her

for him il she set out to coerce

been tried on him before.
How would Satterly feel about
marrying her, anyway? He wasn't
the marrying kind. Still there
had been time when. with little

something. She could take adj

she wished, Afrerward they'd hate

And Ted was determined on

he'd do, once thoroughly aroused.

HOUSEHOLD
HINTS
Tins Aid Tidiness

AHAS EAtu AAu1hNSS
IN these days OF limited space,
4 especially in regard to the
kitchen, 1t is absolutely essential,
II you would be a successful
housewife, to utilize every inch
Of space to the best advantage.
This can only DO done, however,
by enforcing the rule of tidiness.
1t is impossible to make space
and keep it If shelves and cup
boards are constantly Uttered with
half-empty packages.
II your kitchen space is limited,
turn out your shelves and cup
boards and see what you can do
without in the shape OF half
used grocery bags and the like.
and adopt the system of using
tins, which take up half the
space and keep the food cleaner.
You may then find room to
have two or three small shelves
put up. A small space between
two windows will often be wide
enough for three small shelves to
hold small tins.
Try as far as possible to in
troduce this method OF keeping
everything In tins. 1t is the
most hygienic and tidiest method
* storing things, besides saving
space. 81. 20
Then, too, It is much easier to
turn out cupboard of tins than
a heap of parcels and packets
that are perilously near leaking.
1t is impossible to keep a cup
board really tidy this way.
Cooking an Omelette
The reason why a. omelette is
is often tough is because it was
not cooked sharply enough, or
because the pan was too large.
The smallest sized pan available
is suitable for an omelette con-

String of Defeats by Win Over
Buhl. Score % to Is.
BY playing determined, yet
clever brand of basketball the Ely
Five completely routed the invad-
ing quint and scored a long delayed
victory. Buhl played fast game
but uneir efforts were unable to
cope with the shooting accuracy and
fight of the home team. The shoot
ing of Strukel, the Ely center, was
uncanny; fifteen of the teams
twenty-three points being scored by
him alone.
The game was only a minute old
when Strukel sent the ball through
the hoop for two baskets, thereby
giving the anxious audience an ex-
cellent chance to use their vocal
talent. Buhl called time out. Soon
after play was resumed. the visitors
connected with the basket for two
field goals to tie the score, however
Strukel found the basket twice
more with soaring long shots from
the center of the floor, while Banks
fooled the Buhl defense for a field
goal, and young Pucel made good
a free throw. This completed Ely's
scoring for the first half. Bull
secured only three points during the
entire second quarter.
Both teams fought on even terms
during the first part of the half un-
til Strukel and Banks again acquired
the shooting range and began pop

whenever Buhl threatened to rally.
Bull could not pierce the defense
Of the local five for close-in shots,
but were forced to shoot from the

finding the netting during the en-

points on free throws near the end

William Sulzer, former governor
of the state of New York, dis
courses as follows on the mining
industry in general:
Political economists tell us that
mining, next to agriculture, is the
greatest industry in our country.
''This is true from the viewpoint
that if or soil were untitled there
would be little to eat, and famine
would stalk the land
"From a financial, or monetary
standpoint, however, to say nothing
about relativity, and every COM
modify is relative to the product of
the mines, the mining industry is
the greatest in the world. The
truth of this assertion becomes APP
parent when it is visualized that
mining gives us the standard of
value, by which the price of almost
everything produced by the brain

Here more real profit has been
made by investments in mining
securities during the past century
than from any other American in
dustry.
"rhe mines have offered the
rank and file of investors an oppor-
tunity to acquire stock at ridiculous
ly low prices, many of which subse-
quently appreciated in value well
above the $100 mark.
Investment statistics show that
profit as Investment from mines is
about 1856 per cent-more than six
times the percentage of any other

GOOD ADVICE IN VERSE.

When business is little dull,
And in midwinter there's a little
lull-
When buyers are trifie slow,
AS sometimes is the case, you
Then advertise.
Why let your merchandise grow stale
For want of quick and ready sale;
When printers ink will do the trick
And bring the buyers fast and thick,
Then advertise!
When sales are good, then make
them better,
Show yourself a real go-getter!
Use printers ink, and let it shout
To all the country round about.
Advertise!
