MEMORIES OF MILFORD
Amt Mary ShOckIeY

Aunt Mary ShOckley
Do you remember Aunt Mary Shock
ley, and her face of ebony hue
Yes, the query is presumtuous, for
I'm very sure you do.
How we laughed. at her waddling
walk as we followed in its wake,
And how our pennies brought a
smile as she passed to each a
cake.
"a cake!" said I. How poorly thus
do we describe her ware,
For never has been created a more
satisfying fare.
Just what Aunt Mary put in the
dough or what recipe she used,
We never gave the slightest thought,
nor were our tastes abused.
But as our thoughts go back to those
hallowed days Of youth
We know she baked into them
much honesty, love and truth;
For they were so big and wholesome
so spicy, light and sweet
That we'd give a silver dollar now
for one such cake to eat.
Aunt Mary and her basket long since
have passed from sight,
And the sweet smell of her molasses
is blended with the night;
Yet the memory of that kind old face
will linger ever more,
For in our concept of the Promised
Land we find Mary on its shore.

c67THEN we'll pack up our
Ltroubles in the old kit bag, and
smile, smile, smile" Isn't
that old song typical of the joy that
accompanies the motor tripper of
today? Who doesn't feel a light
ness of heart as he bundles sleeping
arrangements, cooking utensils and
food into the good old bus and
starts out, happy vagabond!
Regardless of whether your uiti-
mate goal is a fishing shack in the
woods or the Rtziest hotel imag-
Unable, you are part of the fellow
ship of the road from the time you
start.
Real Camping
And regardless of whether you
plan to camp out at night or spend
your resting periods m the COM
fort of a hotel, there IS one thing
that you will take, if you are wise
food. The haughtiest motor may
refuse to move when it reaches
particularly deserted stretch of road
around noon-ti1ne. Then isn't il nice
to know that in your car you have
the malcings of a meal? A can of
beans, a can of tomatoes, some
peaches or pineapple, and perhaps a
can of Boston brown bread take up
very little room, and are they well
comel Also they can be replaced
at any town through which you pass,
so you never will be stranded away
from food
But if you and your family prefer
to be real campers, spending your
nights out and doing your own cook
ing, the supply of canned foods win
be greater. By carrying well chosen
standard supplies. the sunnlementing
Milford chronicle., 1929-07-05

by fresh foods from villages may
be done quickly and satisfactorily.
Also you can get the same brands
of food IN most towns and so know
exactly what grade you are pur-
chasing. Flour, fat, sugar, salt and
pepper, and evaporated milk are the
fundamentals on which the food sup
ply is founded. With the aid of
can of bacon and a box of baking
powder, hapjackS and bacon may
appear on the menu. Coffee is an
other essential, and this should be
vacuum-packed coffee carried in air
tight Mason jars. Many campers
prefer TO carry condensed milk with
them and use it IN the coffee, rather
than to bother with fresh cream and
sugar.
Among the vegetables which will
surely appear In the food List are
peas, stringiesS beans, corn and to-
matoes; they may be combined with
each other or with fresh foods to
make delightful combinations, or any
one served alone is most attractive.
Baked beans, kidney beans and lima
beans are filing foods which are
easily prepared Other foods which
may be bought occasionally, or more
often II your carrying capacity is
1a-Se, are sauerl1raut, honiny, olcra,
sweet potatoes, spinach, turnips and
carrots.
Fruits for Freshness
Canned fruits may be eaten just
as they come out of the can. An
other good method is to heat the
pieces of fruit m the fat left from
cooking meat and then serve the hot
fruit with the meat. Pears, pine
anole and peaches are particularly

Prime Minister Ramsay Of the British

sires personal consultation with Pres. Herbert Hoover
on an Anglo-American relations and is willing to go
to the United States for that purpose
The socialist labor party Of Great Britain has a
newspaper organ. the Labor Herald Of London. 1t is
the semi-official newspaper mouthpiece Of the social
t5t labor party Of Great Britain. 1t is close to the so
rialst labor party Of Great Britain. 1t is close to the
VOCALIST labor throne. 1t speaks for Prime Minister
Macdonald and it exerts a powerful influence in labor
rs well as governmental circles since the coming to
power Of the socialist labor party.
1t would have been an unheard Of thing in yester-
year for the prime minister Of the British govern
ment to cross the Atlantic for the purpose Of holding
q personal conference with the president Of the United
States. This is a fast moving world as well as a fast
expanding civilization.

Senate Brightens Tariff Outlook

With prospects looking brighter for a rewritten
tariff bin as q result Of a vote in the senate the other
day on a proposal of Senator Borah to instruct the
finance committee Of that body to limit revision to
farm products and related articles. there were indi-
cations that the Valley really will profit.
The Borah resolution, which would have ordered
the committee to rewrite the bill. failed Of passage
By only one vote, the count standing 80 to SO.
This showing Of strength indicates the upper house
is going TO carefully scrutinize every schedule in the
bill and there is likelihood that some of the schedules
Objectionable to farmers will be eliminated.
In the vote on the Borah resolution there were
seven democrats who voted against the proposal and
10 republicans who voted for it.
When the senate begins considering separate
schedules it is likely they will be able to muster a
majority to reduce some Of the tariff rates which
have been applied to articles which the farmer has
to purchase.
The objection to the bill which was passed by the
house was that while it carried material increases on
some agricultural products, it also carried increases
on building materials and other items used on the
farms Of America which would have more than offset
the benefits derived by the farmers.
These increases would have struck an especially
severe blow in the Valley where farm building is just
in its infancy.
In a new and developing country such as this, the
landowners first erect very modest dwellings and
then as they prosper invest more heavily in resi-
dences, barns and other buildings.
The rate Of three cents per pound on tomatoes, to
cite an example, would prove a splendid thing for
tomato growers. But suppose that after the farmer
had sold a tomato crop at a hondsone profit-by rea-
son Of the higher tariff-he decides to build q new
home or a new barn He goes to the seller Of build
ing materials and finds that the price of such things
have advanced sufficiently to wipe out the extra
profit from the tomatoes. What has he gained?
This Is exactly the reason Congressman John N.
Garner, representative from this district, voted
against the bill. He realized that the benefits the
farmer would receive had been more than offset in
increases on items he must buy.
If the senate viii follow the advice Of President
Hoover and increase schedules on farm products only.
they viii perform a real service for agriculture.

Ample Credit Legitimate Needs

An official OF the federal reserve bank OF the Dallas
district says that while large sums Of money have
been withdrawn from the Dallas district Of the federal
reserve bank for loans on the New York stock e-
change, there remains ample credit in the territory
for legitimate needs. Financially speaking Texas
appears to be all right. Federal reserve bankers
say so and Sen. Tom Pollard. the forward-looking
chairman Of the finance committee of the upper
house, is as ~optomistic as It is possible for a sane man
to be and predicts that the large appropriations made
by the senate committee will be amply justified by
the returns Of the tax collectors Of the common
wealth. Sen. Pollard IS not a chees-paring and
nickletwisting lawmaker.
