When Babies Take
Their Maps
BY ANNE CAMPBELL

our neIghborhood, when afternoon
" Filings down its golden banner,
Is quiet as day in June,
Quite In the rustic mannerf
There are no eager, laughing girls,
No lusty little chaps
To tease them and to pull their curls,
When babies take their maps!
All morning they run up and down
Our happy neighborhood,
And many of the mothers frown.
And wish they would be good
They run and run, and never rest,
TIL mothers voice sounds "Taps!"
And brings the time we like the best,
When babies take their napsl
There is no neighborhood so gay
AS this, where children run.
We love to see them as they play,
Their bright heads In the sun.
But still 1t Is a pleasant lull,
When In their mothers laps
They're sung to sleep. Its

the trees that Peter Rabbit thinks are
the most beautiful of all trees that In
winter are bare of leaves. Already
they were partly bare and the leaves
which still clung to them were crisp

Johnny Chuck, were about ready to go

but perhaps he Isn't fair Judge
Those brown three-sided little nuts
were the gift of the silver-barked
beech trees, for the Joy and well-being
OF some OF their feathered and furred
nelghbors. All summer long those lit

prickly husks on the beautiful beech

but with the coming OF fall they had
turned brown. Now had come Jack
Frost OF still October night and
opened the prickly little husks. Mer-
nv Little Breezes had shaken out the
little brown nuts and they had ratified
merrily down through the branches To
the ground and rolled this way and
rolled that way under the crisp fallen

HOW TO COOK EGGS

THE secret of egg cookery lies In

rule with all protein foods. never to
cook them at high temperature, az
heat toughens and hardens protein
foods. Eggs, being the most delicate
of these foods. should have especial
care In cooking. When we speak OF
eggs as boiled hard or soft, we do not
mean boiled at all. Eggs will cook
hard at 10 to $50 degrees. depending
upon the length of time to which they
have been subjected to the heat. Eggs

each egg that Is OF room temperature
when put into the water If taken from

be needed to cook the egg. Cover
closely and let stand on the bnck Of

minutes. The egg Is then hard cooked,
but the white will be tender and eas

his eye is clear. He seems to

the stand in the city's behalf. He
told the commissioners that he
was the manager of the Olcott
Wholesale Grocery company and
that his company was a frequent
user of local freight facilities. He
stated that a carload freight de-
livery two days of each week
would be inadequate to properly
conduct the business of the whole
sale firm and that his company
could not stay in existence very
long without the daily carload
freight service that it is receiving
now.
The city then called J. ]. Geron-
dale to the stand. Mr.. Gerondale
told the commissioners that he
conducted the Carbon County
Creamery company in Red Lodge
and the operations of his business
depended upon the prompt deliv-
cry of cream shipments from
farmers. The railroad countered
that this could be provided by its
proposed bus and truck service.
Mr.. Gerondale stated, however,
that the time schedules provided
by the railroad on this service
would not be suitable for the sat
isfactory operation of the cream
cry. He stated that he was salts
fled with the present rail service

and that, as far as he was able to
discern, sentiment in this city was
in favor of retaining it.

Next to take the stand in the
city's behalf was B. J.. Knudson
who told the commissioners that
he was general manager of the
Yellowstone Distilleries, Inc, and
that his company would soon have
a whiskey distillery in operation
in Red Lodge. He testified that he
was not interested in passenger
and mail service, but in carload
