Pigeon or Rabbit Pie,

Place the young pigeons, thoroughly
cleaned, in saucepan, covering with
boiling water. Add one small onion and
a level teaspoonful of salt Cover the
pan and cook until the birds are ten
der. Remove and drain them. Brush
lightly with butter, season with salt,
white pepper and thyme, and put a
sliced hard-boiled egg inside each bird.
When thus dressed place them in a
baking dish, strain, and pour the liquid
over them, adding a cupful of cream,
two tablespoonful of bread crumbs,
one tablespoonful of butter, half a
tablespoonful of thyme, half a table,
spoonful of chopped parsley, and, If
necessary, a little salt. Cover with a
pastry crust and bake.
Rabbits for pie should first be cut in
joints and then washed thoroughly in
cold water, in which a teaspoonful of
baking soda has been dissolved. The
rabbit should then be cut into smaller
pieces, the bones removed, and. 1t is
put into baking dish with five or six
slices of bacon cut into narrow strips.
The yolks of few hard-boiled eggs are
also put into the dish and the whole is
sprinkled with finely minced parsley and
thyme and seasoned with salt and pep
per. Enough stock or beef broth should
be poured over the mixture to moisten
it well, after which the top crust is
put into place and the pie is baked in
moderate oven

Exchanging Gifts.

ooh, don't mind giving Jane a
present." many woman will say to an
other, because 1t Is like taking money
out of one pocket and putting it in an
other. I know that she will give me
something worth just as much. It's an
even exchange"
While the money values of the two
gifts so exchanged may be equivalent,
many a woman will not get an even
exchange" She may get something
for her money, in the form of her
friends gift, that is perfectly useless,
unnecessary or superfluous. BY taking
her money out of one pocket she loses
considerably when she puts it in an
other.
Unless your friends gift does not
duplicate some article that you already
possess, and equals in usefulness your
own gift, there has been no even ex-
change. Your friend may spend as
much money as you do, but If her
money isn't spent wisely you are the
loser. She is literally spending your
money and you are spending hers.
Evils crop up in the exchange of
gifts. One woman does not like to
have her own gift exceeded In value by
her friends. Gradually one tries to
measure up to the means or ideas Of the

to lubricate the manipulation An alco-
hol or ice rub should follow the mas
sage.
As dry skin wrinkles much more
readily than an oily one, the woman
with this type of skin would be wise
to substitute the cold cream cleansing
for soap and water.
In later life If the skin becomes
flabby and criss-crossed with wrinkles
it may be improved with overnight
treatments. Cleanse the skin with cold
cream; after the cleansing apply gen.
erous amount of food cream, then
lightly bandage the neck with soft,
clean strip of cloth. In the morning
wipe of the excess cream and apply a
skin tonic.
To aid in preserving youthful chin
line the use of an astringent should not
be neglected. Witch hazel is a good
astringent, and it may be patted on
with absorbent cotton after the nightly
cleansing of the neck. Pat it on gently
and allow 1t to dry on the skim.

Chin Line.

The average woman who is in good
health has no serious beauty problems
until she reaches the thirties. Perhaps
even then she goes happily on, never
realizing that it is high time to take
very definite steps to preserve the
beauty with which she is endowed. For
80 might well be called the dangerous
age; it is at this time that tiny wrinkles
are apt to appear about eyes and mouth.
But today we're concerned with the
chin line instead of wrinkles, for one
might well change the old adage and
say that woman Is as old as her chin
line. If the woman in her thirties will
make up her mind to keep a youthful
chin line she can do much toward
warding of that day when her chin
becomes sagging, crepey and aged in
appearance.
Those who give it thought realize
that beauty is much more than skin
deep and that any beauty program, to
be successful, does not really begin
with the skin at all. It has been def
nitely proved that instead of being
merely skin deep, beauty might better
be called muscle deep or bone deep. So
the first step in keeping the chin line
youthful is exercise Of the neck and

One mother says:
I had made much Of the life OF
Lincoln by emphasizing his fine points,
bought good picture of him and hung
it in the living room where the children
could have it as a constant inspiration.
When the children were inclined to
whimper about trivial disappointments,
some incident in his life was recalled
illustrating his endurance. When their
tempers f1ared up and they wanted to
get even with some one" they we're
sent to take good look into his patient
eyes-and, as one of the lads put it.,
How could I get so cross about such
little thing when he was so patient
with every one!" If one of the children
was inclined to give up easily he was
reminded how hard Lincoln worked for
everything he wanted and how he stuck
till he got it. 1t was surprising in how
many ways the face and the life of
Lincoln could be used with good In
spirational effect.

purchased. An employer had fired him
the day before Christmas. True, he
had been given two weeks wages. but
they would not last long. An excellent
way indeed to start the new year.
AS his key entered the lock and he
turned the latch, he was greeted by his
young wife. A quick appraisal of his
features told her that something was
wrong. He didn't want to tell her. He
preferred to save the bad news until
the day after Christmas. Why spoil the
day for her? But she was partner In
the domestic enterprise and persisted
until he told her the bitter truth. He
had been fired.

ulously. why, what do you mean?"
he asked

The young fellow thought it over and
Christmas day was a happy one. He
forgot about the blow that had fallen.
The day after Christmas he began 10
write. His stories were human and
humorous. Editors purchased them.
He became a featured writer and soon
saw his name on the covers of Amer
ica's greatest periodicals His yarns
were published in book form. Then he
went to Hollywood, where he continued
to turn out his product. Producers
sought his stories for perturbation pur-
poses. In one year he Melted over

and owned several cars. Santa Claus
had visited him the night he was fired
from his job. OF course his wife was

The shade is especially interesting,
being made of two shades of narrow
ribbon. These are placed alternately
around the bottom of the shade and
crossed at the top.
There are many color combinations
which might be used for such a shade
The lining might be peach and the
ribbon of orchid and pale green.
Gold and silver ribbons might be
used over any color lining, this COM
bination being especially attractive If
one wishes to carry out the modern idea
of design.
Two shades Of any one color may be
used over q contrasting lining; and, if
any black is desired on the shade, it
should be applied as a binding to the
top and bottom rather than in one of
the ribbons forming the sides.

and other communities have the
matter under consideration.
Premium lists are being sent
out by the secretary to all farmers
in the county and to others known
to be interested in fair develop
ment and plans are being made
for a bigger and better fair than
the one held in 1928.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE
ON WOLF POINT BRIDGE

Work on the Wolf Point bridge
across the Missouri is going on
steadily under the supervision OF
superintendent G. E. Fraser
Abutment "a" is completed and
on pier one the cylinders are in
place and all underground work
completed. Work was carried on
here to a depth of 80 feet. Pier
two is down 70 feet, and work is
now in rock in the river bed. 1t
is hoped that work will be COM
pleted on this pier base in the
next four days. Pier three is
down "a feet and work is pro-
gresing day and night. Excava-
tion is going on at pier four and a
depth of 81 feet has been at
tanned.
Excavation work for abutment
3d." on the south bank of the
river, is in progress and it is hop
ed to finish it this week. 1t is
expected that steel for the super
structure will begin to arrive
about the middle of September.
The outstanding feature of the
work, according to Superintendent
Fraser so far has been the crafty
ing progress made. Everything
indicates that the bridge will be
finished ahead of time.

MISSOURI NEARLY
CLAIMS TWO BOYS
STRONG UNDERCURRENT IN
MISSOURI DANGEROUS
TO SWIMMERS

Jimmy Styer had a narrow es
cape from drowning, when he was
attempting to swim in the Mis-.
souri, river near the small ferry
boat. There were a number OF
people around, both young and
old. Jimmy can swim a little and
as he tried to swim around the
boat he was caught by the under
current, which is always strong at
t h t point. Eugene Dougherty
was swimming near, and when the
Styer boy felt himself going under
he grabbed hold OF young Dough-
erty pulling him down also.
An Indian on the bank, whose
name has not been learned, saw
the situation and called ont to a
group of boys summing themselves
on the boat Bobby Lowell dived
into the water and came up with
the boys. Other boys dived in al
most at the same time. First aid
treatment was given to Jimmy
and after several minutes he
came to.
People who saw the affair say
that Bobby Lowell is deserving of
praise for the prompt cool way
which he rescued the smaller
boys. At the same time it might
be added that other boys on the
boat, whose names we did not
learn, were in the water almost
as quickly as Bob.
1t is possible that some parents
with small children just learning
o swim, or children able to swim
4 little, do not know that there |
S a dangerous undercurrent near |
he boat which makes it extreme
y unsafe for children to swim
here. In fact, it is doubtful
there is any place along
he main channel of the river
where it is safe for children 1t
S to be hoped that it will not re-
uire a tragedy to impress this
act upon the minds of parents
nd children alike.

GIRL AVIATRIX
FALLS TO DEATH

Miss Marvel Crosson, 25, of San
Diego, an entrant in the woman's
national air derby and an expert
enced aviatrix met her death
Monday when attempting a par
achute jump from her plane which
she saw was about to crash. She
was too close to the ground when
she jumped and the parachute
failed to open in time. Her body,
smashed beyond recognition, was
found about 300 from the wrecked
plane.
She had been flying between San
Bernardina and Phoenix when
spectators saw her plane go into
a tail spin. She had apparently
righted the ship, but it is believed
that when she got it level she
saw she was going to crash into
a hill, and took a chance on jump
ing.
Miss Crosson made her first solo
flight in 1923. Two years later
she took up commercial flying in
where her brother Joe was
as transport pilot.
June % this year she established
the woman's altitude record of
1896 feet over Los Angeles.

ANOTHER STILL
RAIDED ON S. Side
MOONSHlNERS ARE OUT WHEN
EGGERS CALLS-PLANT
SMASHED UP

The third of four large stills
stolen last winter from an agency
warehouse at Frazer where they
were being stored, was captured
Wednesday by Superintendent Egg
gers force. 1t will be recalled
that two others were taken about
two months ago.
The still taken Wednesday was
found in the heavy brush about
eight miles east of town on the
south side of the Missouri river,
across from Jim Pedigo's place.
1t had a capacity of 165 gallons
and the liquor was about ready
to draw off. The men who oper-
ated it, however, were not to be
found. 1t is probable that they
heard Supt. Eggers' approaching
car and got away to some hide
out. The trail leading to it was
one which was almost impossible
for a car to follow since no de-
finite roadway had been cleared.
A large wooden tank, also stol-
en- from Frazer, was found in the
paraphernalia. The watts, tanks,
etc. were destroyed and thrown
into the Missouri river. With
Eggers in the raid
ing party were Deputies Thomp-
son, Greene and Mitchell
