SHAFER TO Sign
CAPITOL MEASURE
MONDAY, HESAYS
Bill Providing 100000 for
Construction of Building
Will Be Approved

Statement that he intends to sign
the capitol reconstruction bill Mon
day was made Saturday by Governor
George F. Shafer.
The bill vas signed Friday after
noon by G. v. Freeman. speaker Of
the house, and John w. Carr, presi-
dent of the senate, and was delivered
at the executive office Saturday
morning by Gordon Cox. Bismarck,
Burleigh county house member. and
G. r. Very, Minot. chief clerk of the
house. .
The governor already had expressed
his intention to sign the measure
which provides $4,000. 900 for the con-
struction Of a new building on the
site Of the old structure.
Because it carries the emergency
clause, the bill will become effective
as soon as it Is signed by the COVER
nor. Under Its terms he must ap-
point three members Of the capitol
commission within 30 days after the
bill is signed and the commission
must organize within 10 days after
the members are appointed. The bill
requires that q commissioner be
named from each of the present three
congressional districts. They shall
receive only their actual travelling *
penses and will have full authority to
perform all the acts necessary to
construction of the building, includ-
ing the appointment of a secretary
who will be executive Officer at a
salary of $4,000 a year.
Preference to the extent Of three
per cent Of the cost is given to North
Dakota materials and contractors and
it is required that, il an outside ar
chitect is chosen for the work, he
must associate with himself q North
Dakota architect.
The building must be fireproof and
will contain quarters for all executive
departments and offices located here
as well as for the legislature.
The work will be financed by the
transfer Of funds from the capitol
land fund, by money received rs In
surance on the old building and by
funds received from the sale Of certif-
icates Of indebtedness. The latter are
to be issued in anticipation Of the col
lection of taxes from q levy already au-
thorized by the legislature.

TO give mysterious holiday air to savory gifts created In the kitch- en Is not so great problem after all, if one uses the usual recipe vivid colors, striking contrasts and lots of tinsel--and mixes 1t with a little ingenuity and imagination. Here are a few suggestions:
 1. A package containing fruit cake will assume decided indi- viduality when wrapped first in waxed paper, then in purple crepe paper and clear cellophane, and decorated with vows of gummed fruit seals completely around the package, about two iip.hes from the ends. Fruit seals can be had rep- resenting grapes, apples, pears. peaches and plums.
 9. Well-dressed bottles of home- made grape juice, cider, chilli sauce, or whatever you have in a bottle, are masquerading as Santa Claus in q coat of red crepe paper trimmed at neck, wrists and bottom with fluffy white cotton. Santa faces both north and south, with features painted on both sides of piece of mailing tube, which fits nicely on the neck of the bottle. The arms are wired SO that one arm can be arranged on one side and one on the other, an arm thus being vis- ible whichever way he Is stand- ing. White cotton buttons and a snappy belt with huge silver buckles complete very modish costume for style minded bottle.
 3. A plum pudding decorated with a plum tree is 0 dead give away. of course. but very accept-

able one. Wrap the pudding in eel lophane and place 1t in a flower pot, with a fitted disc of cardboard for a cover. Make tree with green crepe paper leaves wired on Q heavy wire stem, with three fat purple crepe paper plums. Wind the stem with brown crepe paper, and fasten it to the cover by put ting the wires through and se- curing them on the under side with gummed cloth tape. The flower pot is then wrapped with a big square of gold cellophnne. which Is gathered tightly around the base of tho plant and tied with spool wire. The pointed ends of the cellophane extend beyond the sides of tho plant in crisp Christmasy man. ner.
 1. Fill n plain white box with tiny gumdrops and cut the simple silhouette of a Christmas tree out of the cover. Then wrap the box In gold cellophane, and manufac- ture a miniature Milky Way" of tiny gold and green gummed stars diagonally across from one corner to the opposite one. The small gumdrops show through the open Christmas tree and appear as gay little Christmas tree balls in bright colors.
 6. Cookies or hints packed in sections of mailing tube remain Q mystery until tho moment they arc opened. Make three of them and cover two with green cellophane and one with red. On the end paste the smiling faces of gummed lollipop seals and tie the three to- gether with Q large red cellophane bow, decorated on the ends with small holly seals.

Coffee cakes have strong ap- peal for most people and can easily be made in the homo kitchen. Eggs, butter, sugar and imagination and time added to plain ordinary bread dough will produce the most de. lectable coffee cakes at small cost.
 If the dough Is started early in the morning, the cakes will be ready for baking by lunch time or early afternoon. An extra amount of yeast Is used to hasten tho ris- ing process.
 If you have ar ule for yeast bread using the sponge method, which uses less yeast and lets the spong rise over night, add the sugar and shortening and eggs after the sponge has risen until light.
