wasn't all the kids fault.

ly glad to get her daughter off her
hands, and just as secretly Miss Buck
is glad to be on her own hook, where

ment, but the odds are against it.

they really did play bridge.

rather to be congratulated on his good
luck. 1t isn't often there is such
freedom for the married men of the
town.

But don't give up hope. 1t is expected
that one will be written next week.

Mr.. Glenn Clutz, farmer, was seen
on our streets Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and will probably be seen
this morning also. No wonder his
crops never amount to anything and
he is always hollering about his taxes.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. Whatta Sponger
and five children are visiting Mrs.
Sponger's aunt, Mrs. Sufferlong, for
an indefinite stay during the vaca-
ton months. Not if Mr.. Sufferlong
has anything to say about it, which
he doesn't.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pinnacle are here for
a months rest. Mrs. Pinnacle was
formerly quoted as saying that she
wouldn't marry the best man on earth,
and from all appearances, she didn't.
Mr.. o. So Tight spent a half hour
in the drug store the other day talk

and then went back to his place of
business and drew the same salary
he had been drawing since 1928.

1 have just finished reading a letter
to the editor, which appeared two
weeks ago in another paper, and
which amused me immensely. 1t
stated: "What more disgusting spec
tacle could be imagined than one of
our local papers refusing to print
articles on tax reductions, or giving
an accurate and unbiased account of
the activities of a local tax payers
league"
Something quite a lot more dis
gushing than that, oh fellow, (whose
articles sound like someone else wrote
them) is trying to befog the people
with lot of inaccurate and biased
statements. 1t is probably disgusting
to you because you can't get away
with it.
1t doesn't take people long to see
through wind TANNER. And from
present indications it looks like moth
ing will appear now in either papers.
%*#
And now to all readers of this col
umn, let it be said that I am just as
much interested in getting lower taxes
as anybody. 1t was only the other
day that Bill Butt had the nerve to
send me tax bill and he had my old
Ford car assessed at $3.50. If he
wasn't already bald headed-but as
it is I'll have to think up some other
punishment. Anyhow Pm thinking
seriously of offering the Lizzie to the
city council at their next meeting for
exactly that amount, just to see how
quickly they say that it isn't worth it.
Taxes are a serious thing to all of
us farmers, and they've been reduced
a little, and must be reduced more.
But be sure that those who profess
to be the leaders in the tax fight,
aren't doing it for their own personal
gain in some other channel-such as
politics-maybe. There's step-ant
in the ditch, somewhere. Look out
for him.
There's rumor around the Society
for the Prevention of Work that Turk
Shartzer was the power behind the
passing of the dog ordinance at the
City Council on Monday evening. No
more dogs running loose.

vfed with each other to pay hon- age to their ir1lovely lady.
 One day following sensational appearance in 'Lohengrin," Mad- anne Melba gave a dinner to. a few of, her friends. Escoffier, master chef of the Savoy, who was among the audience of Lohengrin the night before, had a stroke of in- spiration after seeing the majestic swan which. appears on the stage. As a token of his admiration, Es- collier surprised Madame Melba at this dinner with a dessert which he called "Peche Melba". Just pie ture peaches on bed of vanilla ice, in a cup of inlaid silver borne tiful swan which was carved from a block of ice and then covered with a veil of heaped-up sugar. What an effect! don't have to tell you that Madame Melba Was very much fiattered by such a delicate attention.
 Melba was happy but Escoffier was not absolutely satisfied with the creation. He thought that simple peaches mounted on van- fila ice did not sdrpass others suf- ficiently to justify such noble name for them. There was some thing missing. Then the chefs gen. jus came to the fore. He added the delicate flavor of raspberries-- and created a new culinary glory!
 And N0w the Secret
 The additional flavor of fruit had made an ordinary dish. which de- pended upon unusual presentation for it's quality into a masterpiece. Now let me give you q recipe for Q simple and delicious Peach Melba which you can make in your home. But please don't for get that 1t Is the touch of fruit preserves which raises this des- sert from mediocrity.

Summer Hints for
 Lively Appetite
Feeding a City Family < With Country Air
 Appetites

2 The idea of feeding city family with country afr appetites ig enough to scare any housewife, but if she repeals her ordinary housekeeplng laws for the summer and knows the right menus, life can be really very simple. Here are a few of many hints by Alice M.4 Chfld in McCalrs for August:
 LA cabin by, the sea or a lake, IS cheap, healthy, happy. and care- free-if you throw your, formal standards of housekeeping over board, and live strictly a Ia cabin. Mother abandons her usual proud monopoly on homework, and let's father and the children lend a hand. The first thing to do Is to make a definite schedule of jobs for father, for the boys. for the girls, and even for the little ones. Then change jobs once in a while. perhaps every three or four days
 sAs appetftes in cabin are even lustfer than at home three square meals day become a matter of absorbing interest to the family. And here's where mother can make her first mistake. While everybody else is fishing. swimming, playing tennis, and doing lots of other nice things, she can be spending her time in the kitchen preparing regu- lar city food. urge you not to do this. Serve meals different from those at home,, with fewer foods at each meal, but plenty ofN them. Plan some menus that are simple enough for even your eight-year- old to prepare. Then once in 3 while ask father and the boys to cook a meal out-of-doors.
 Canned foods are 8 boon In the summer cabin. Their variety is endless, and scientists assure us that their food value is practically the same as tiiat of, the raw pro- ducts. The following list suggests just a few possibilities:
 Fruits Fruit salad, peaches, pears, cherries, p1ums, apricots.
 Vegetables-Hominy. beets, fresh lima beans, dried lima beans, to- matoes, tomato juice, sweet pota- toes, corn, peas. celery.
 Meats and Fish-Corned beef, dried beef, ham, calves tongue, tuna fish, salmon, lobster, clans, sardines, sausages, chicken, potted meats.
 z "Corned beef, chicken, ham, calves tongue, salmon, and tuna fish may be chilled and served cold with a hot vegetable, bread and butter, and fresh berries for des- sert. Or dried beef, salmon. tuna fish, and mackerel may be 'creamed and served with potato chips, a salad, and bread and butter. Sausage may be heated in the pan and served hot with cabbage salad. bread and butter, and simple dessert. Potted meats are good in toasted sandwiches; or added to rice and tomato or macaroni and

Since I have been in New York these last few months one of my great tasks in life has been to ex- plore the city in search of good food. If weren't,so busy, I might write a culinary Baedeker disclos- ing to the ever-searching tourist bright spots in restaurants; how ever, I feel that I'm doing my duty by finding unusual dishes and pass ing the recipes on to you In these

 A very popular dessert in the high class restaurants-one which seems to satisfy the dessert appe- tites of more people than any ,oth- ter--is Peach Melba. had 1t for dessert a few days ago, and the ceremonious way 1t was served re- minded me of-weli, here's the story.
 A Story About Madame Melba
 Tn 1892 and 1893 Madame Nellie Melba, the celebrated operatic star, was living in the Savoy hotel in London. She was then singing at the opera. at Covent Garden. Her admirers. were legion, and they tomato they make satisfying dish. Then, too, there are all kinds of soups which can be easily heat ed and served with an otherwise cold meal. You can also buy
 whole meal canned products such as Chili con carne, corned beef
 hash, and clam chowder which are certainly time-savers. Make the
 desserts easy: fruit and cream with cookies or cheese wafers; jelly whip with waters or plain cake;
 rice pudding or gelatine with fruit. For summer cabins supply of evaporated milk or dried milk is
 desirable. These products make excellent cocoa, white sauce, cus- tard, cornstarch mold, cream soup. and practically all foods which call for milk as an ingredient. For
 dried milk we use four level table spoons per cup of water, sprinkling the powder over water. and beat ing well with an egg beater. You
 may substitute a cup of this, re- constructed milk for cup of fresh milk in any recipe"
