But this doesn't mean that only

The chances are that her interest
will head her that way without urg-

cook at least simple foods; they
may be led m this direction by
pointing out that the Boy Scouts
encourage camp cooking. Or you

Union
(Near Lincoln)

Children's Day services were very
beautifully rendered at Union Sun
day evening last. Those of the COM
mittee and those who took a part in
the speaking and singing deserve a
great deal of credit; also the young
ladies who gave such a lovely drill.
1t was called Drift of the Sunrays." ."
1t was one of the best Children's
services we ever attended, and sur
passed some of the programs given
in larger churches. The collection
amounted to ten dollars.
When the folks of Union fully
make up their minds to do a thing
for the church and Gods work, they
put forth their best efforts, and
they now have a Sunday School that
is interesting those who attend.

The rain on Wednesday surely did
a great deal of good. 1t made pos

Yes, we are encouraged by the in
creased attendance, although it is
not what it should be yet. Several
requests have come to us from par
ents of children in this community
for a Children's Day service. If
these same parents and others
would send their children to this
church on Sunday afternoon we
would be very glad to organize a
Sunday School and see to it that a
competent teacher was put over the
classes to give all grades an ade-
quate understanding of the Bible.
Then Sunday School routine could
properly and proftably be followed,
but we will take this opportunity to
announce that if the parents of these
children and others will come out
next Sunday night and express their
desire in the matter, we will all
work together to put across a
worthwhile Children's Day service.
Endeavor at the usual hour, fol-
lowed by preaching. Everybody
welcome.

EVERYONE must eat to live,
and the majority of people be-
4 feve firmly that It is advisable
tc cook before eating. So what are
you doing, Mrs Housewife, to teach
your children this. ancient and hon
orable craft? Here's hoping THAT
you aren't the kind who brusqueiy
says when her little girl wants to
help: "Run away. You're too slow.
Pm in a hurry"
Of course it's generally quite true,
but isn't it a truth that hurtsl And
how can the child ever learn to cook
if she doesn't begin now? Good
cooks rise from homeiy tasks.
Spread It and Do Il
Even II the child is small, there
are things which she can do. For
instance, the little girl-or boy-ot
four is equal to spreading frosting
on cookies, and, if they happen to
be animal cookies, she can place the
eyes in approximately the right
places. By the time she is seven or
eight, she will be able to master
the whole process.
However, anything to do with the
oven is always more or less danger
Gus, so probably it is best to start
the child out on something simpler.
"A gelatin dessert Is always good
Soaking the gelatin, disSolvfng it In

taking little time. After that there
can be pause for play. Then, later,
comes the arrangement of the pieces

child to arrange, and, if they are

Tomato Dishes Make
A Red Letter D0v

TN spite of the fact that this
~ last seasons tomato crop is
smaller by about a third than
that of 1927, we can still make any
meal a red-1etter day by the simple
expedient of serving tomatoes.
Probably the value of their cheer
full, gay color has much to do with
their popularity. And of course no
one could ever forget the cool, clean
favor of this fruit which masque-
rades as a vegetable.
The Tastes the Thing
Aside from being pretty to look
at. and good to eat, the tomato is
good for one. Its large content of
vitamin C which protects against
scurvy, presents an added reason for
its inclusion in the diet, either raw
Or canned.
But after all, the taste is the real
reason why we cat tomatoes, so here

BOOK COVERS

Soiled book covers are "eye sores"
in any home, and in any library. The
favorite old book bound in a mater

wear and tear of years is disap-
pointment which all book lovers are
familiar with. The public libraries
have switched very largely to fabri-
koid as something better than cloth,
and which has the further advantage
that it is washable. The material is

FEEDING DIR CHILDREN

If your children did not come

shape, the trouble is not always be-
cause they studied too hard. Per-
haps they did not have the right
kind of food.
The Bureau of Home Economics
OF the u. S. Agriculture department
remarks that the lunches given to
school children are apt to be about
the same thing day after day, thus
failing to stimulate their appetite.
Many schools get over this difficulty
by furnishing appetizing lunches
themselves. If children are going to
carry their own lunches to their
schools, a good deal of thought and
planning needs to go into that little
1unchbox. Give the youngsters
little variety so it will taste good
to them.

lilly FOURTH

When Thomas Jefferson wrote his
epitaph one of the few achievements
he wished noted was that he was
the writer of the Declaration of
independence. This was momen-
tous document, packed with destiny.
1t was no statement of unbalanced
radicalism, startling as it was. 1t
was the calm decision of group
of men who had reached the con-
clusion that old ties must be broken.
1t is interesting to speculate
what might have happened had not
the colonists declared their indie
pendence, and union with the moth
er country had continued. But
events have proved the wisdom of
the event, and that those brave men
who felt that the time had come to
establish a new government and
venture on uncharted seas had a
true vision.
Freedom is costly. Sometimes
the word is used carelessly and
suggests a certain irresponsibility.
But the freedom of the patriots of
those days was thing of laborious
days and nights, of warfare with
a power many times their superior
in numbers and experience. We
know we'll the sufferings of Valley
Forge, we know the problems that
an uniformed government
but slightly held together. We read
of the countless problems that
were to be met by a nation who had
to make its own precedents, try out
new ways and balance the interests
of the separate states, while at the
same time establishing union that
would be sound and able to take its
place among the nations Of the
earth.
This was the freedom of maturity,
the right to assume responsibility
and give over reliance upon an older
and stabler form of government. 1t
required strenuous thinking. The
story of our country may we'll have
a thrilling interest for us and pro-
vide material of which great epics
are made.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1872
THE FOuRTH OF july

There is no date so appealing to
the American people as July Fourth.
When those 81 valiant men signed
the Declaration of independence
our country entered upon its life as
a nation. How young we are COM
nared with the hoary nations of the
world! And let us glory in the
strength of youth which is always
looking to the forward step.
Twice before efforts had been
made in that direction; at Mendon,
Mass, in 1878, and at Mecklenburg'
N c.. in 1775. But the final docu-
ment drawn up by Thomas Jefferson
at philadelphia had the sanction Of
sieners from the thirteen colonies
and ranging in age from Benjamin
Franklin with his seventy years to
Edward Rutledge, of Charleston
not yet 27.
It is fitting that bells should peal'
that fireworks should tell the story
in the skies. We also need to re-
fresh our memories and quicken
our enthusiasm by public demon
stration and by the stirring notes
of hand music. 1t should be JOY
ous family day when father guides
the young patriots as they cele-
brate. A day for picnics when the
beauty of midsummer helps IN tne
spirit of festivity.
Let it be constructive day when
the older ones will do some think
ing and pass on high ideals OF pat
riotism. Let us remember with re-
verence those courageous souls as
thew took this step to insure to the
colonists the right to Life, Liberty
and the Pursuit of Happiness. What
are we doing to help promote among
our fellowmen these rights? Are we
considering the rights of our neigh
bor to self expression when we let
our own claims outweigh his?
Those men of the past sealed the
great pact with a pledge to eacn
other of lives, fortunes, and sacred
honor; a fitting expression OF 10y
atty which we may well emulate.
