are all really grain products. And all
over the world, except in the frozen
countries, mankind depends upon grain
in some form to furnish his fuel and
energy food The average grain is
rich in carbohydrates. with protein
and some fat as well. When the whole
grain Is used, vitamins and minerals
may also be derived from it.
Different peoples have always had
their own ways of using their native
grains Since the world has become
SO small place the methods have been
exchanged between countries, until
now many of the various types are
almost universal. The Bureau Of
Home Economics Of the United States
Department of Agriculture has some
very interesting things to say on the
subject of breads and grain foods:
4
WHEAT breads are far in the lead
w as to quantities used in the
United States and in the English
speaking world in general The COM
bination Of proteins in wheat flour
which forms gluten" makes the dough
elastic enough to expand with leaven-
ing. No other grain makes light
bread" or yields bread with the tex
ture of wheat loaf, yeast rolls, bis
cult or wheat batterbreads. The white
breads have the finer texture. but
whole wheat bread has more flavor
than the white.
Wheat bread is made either with
water or with milk, which adds food
value. Eggs and butter, too, are some
times added to enrich the wheat loaf,
both in flavor and food value. Still
further variety is obtained by adding
fruit, nuts, caraway seed or cheese, or
by Sprinkling the crust with sugar and
cinnamon. poppy seed or sesame seed.
Salt-rising bread. different from all
the others, is made with white flour
but without yeast. It Is raised" by
using, as a starter" for the sponge, a
culture which is obtained by mixing
corn meal and milk with little salt
and sugar, and keeping it in a warm
place until fermentation begins.
The toasting quality of wheat bread
is one thing many housewives consider
when they are ENTHUSIASTICALLY in
these days of electric toasters at the
breakfast table. The richer breads
those containing milk, butter or eggs,
nuts or raisins-usually brown more
quickly than the plain breads.
\ \ X X
p YE breads, the only kind, other
than wheat bread, that can be
leavened with yeast, are made with a
combination Of light and dark rye
fiours, or more often with a mixture
of rye and wheat. Pumpernickel, or
black bread" is typically made with
rye meal All rye breads are much
heavier and the texture is much closer
than in wheat breads, because the
protein in rye is less elastic than the
gluten of wheat.
Homemade breads have variety all
their own. Many of them are yeast

men have been utilized. To appease
the more feminine taste, there is the
Gibson Girl shoulder model In ad-
dition to the tailored suits, the fabric
is also obtainable in three-piece out
fits-jackets, slacks and coats, as well
as culotteS.
Another shop uses a mans fabric
called Congo cloth for its smart, cool
looking fashions and displays the suits
with vivid contrasting blouses. featur-
ing the crisp jabot to add feminine
touch to the tailored lines.
A THIRD shop advises that you try
dyed-to-match sport modes con-
sisting of flannel jacket and skirt,
a silk shirt and an extra silk skirt.
Just think what this gives you in the
way of a good-looking ensemble and
the many ways in which it may be
worn. 1t Is invaluable for country
club and resort wear and comes in the
loveliest colors of carrot, wild cherry.
powder blue and orchid. The pieces
may I'll be purchased separately,
which is another advantage The
flannel jacket is $895, the matching
skirt S595. The extra silk skirt is
the same price and the silk shirt is
S495.
The orchid outfit looks marvellous
with green suede accessories, and the
wild cherry is smart when combined
with bright blue, while the carrot
shade contents itself with brown as a
contrast. Large puffy linen bags look
well with these suits, as do felt hats
and suede gloves.
New among the jacket frocks is the
tendency toward fared tunic jacket
that is knee length and seems a fitting
complement to the added shoulder
width of the Gibson Girl sleeve. This
type of coat is halfway between a
fitted redingote and short full Jacket.
1t is smartly done in twin dot effect
in brown and aqua. The coat is of
brown crepe dotted in 'blue, and the
frock is of aqua blue sheer dotted in
brown, making a very pleasing and
smart afternoon costume. This also
comes in black and white.
***
nOTTED effects seem to be quite
prominent in sheers. Two sizes
OF dots on navy sheer is good for
little jacket frock with short, loose
jacket and touches of white pique at
neck and sleeves. Navy blue net is
nice, too. This comes in a one-piece
dress with an overplaid of white pencil
lines and short peplum. 1t has ac-
cents Of white, including square pearl
buttons for the front closing.
Sulphur yellow printed in black Is
most attractive with its short fitted
jacket that buttons once at the waist
its revers and shiny black flower at the
neck suggesting the need of a black
hat, bag and shoes.
A dark street frock for Summer is
quite indispensable. Black sheer pin
dotted in white, with a white organdy
collar. finely shirred yoke and large
natural steel buttons tied in with
strips OF the material to ornament the
front solves the problem beautifully.
1t may be worn with either black or
white accessories and is an excellent
addition to the wardrobe.

Children can make lot of trouble

places.
1t isn't a good practice to spank
your neighbor's children. They will
object. and rightly; but a word fifty
spoken, a neighborly gesture accom-
panying your protest, like bouquet
of lilacs, or even a few vegetables,
will smoothe the way. Both sides of
the line are concerned equally in
neighborliness. Good fellowship makes
all the difference in the world to those
who live close together. Step softly.

= T SEEMS to me that nothing would
go farther toward ironing out the
difficulties and perplexities of
i marriage and promoting its sue
cess than for all prospective brides
and bridegrooms to have drawn up for
them a marriage contract which they
would have to sign in the presence Of
witnesses, and which would set forth
in legal terms the nature of the part
nership into which they were entering.
and how they were to divide its duties
and share in its emoluments, If any.
You may say that all of this is in
cluded in the marriage ceremony. but
the trouble with the marriage cere-
mony is that it deals in vague promises
and glittering generalities. 1t does
not get down to brass tacks. What
is needed is a definite code of conduct
to which husbands and wives must
live up or else pay the penalty.
The man and woman, for instance,
who swear to love and cherish each
other until death shall them part know
when they do it that they are prob
ably committing perjury, because the
ability to keep on loving any one is
beyond our control. Mental growth,
changing tastes, the development OF
character, the inevitable disillusion-
ments of conjugal life very often kill
every particle of affection between a
husband and q wife who would gladly
60 on being romantically in love If it
were possible. Also, it is one thing
for q man to glibly VOW at the altar
to endow his wife with all his worldly
goods, and quite another thing for
him to agree to give her so much cold
cash every week with which to run the
house and for her own personal be-
hoof and benefit.
THE truth is that most engaged
couples 60 around on a kind of
sentimental jag in which they see the
future as they wish it to be, and not
as it Is. Certainly it would have q
sobering effect upon them to be forced
to consider calmly and dispassionately
what obligations they are assuming.
and the privileges they are forfeiting
by getting married, before they sign
on the dotted line.
Most domestic storms are literally
tempests In teapots. Husbands and
wives quarrel over little things. About
the market money. About the break.

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Sweet corn may be planted
when danger from frost has
passed. In many parts of the
country garden makers have de-
veloped a preference for yellow
sweet corn. Golden Bantam was
long the favorite variety, but
was too small to be wholly sat
isfactory. An improved variety
just put on the market was pro-
duced by crossing Golden Ban
tam with Country Gentleman, a
white kind with curious irregular
rows. The new corn has the
golden hue Of one parent and the
zig-zag pattern of the other
parent. The name is Asgrow
Golden Colonel. Like all corn,
it likes rich ground and should
be well fertilixed. It may be
grown in hills or drills in the
same manner as Golden Bantam.

1t has been apparent since year ago. when the puo
Usher was deciding factor merging OWnershls that
the of these is to provide news not
to become political organs We reiterate that policy now
There are few occasions believe when newspaper
should try to tell others what to do about political or
public problems We have few preconceived ideas Among
these few the necessity of pushing to successful
conclusion the All American Canal, and the rlghtness
and necessity for publicly owned generation and dstru

For the rest, summarize by saying that we are
in favor of whatever will aid the valley and
it's sections Beyond that editorial columns speak
for themselves.
During the past year, the publisher has had oppor

of the valley Some may be difficult to solve but there
no doubt whatsoever but that all be surmounted
through concerted public action and effort There is no
need to reafrm the faith which caused assumption OF

jenkins had held controlling in
terest in the publishing company
since Oct. 5, 1895, when the Press
and the Post were brought under
Joint ownership. Prior to that
time Harry Hammond, Riverside,
owned and published the Press. while
the Bennitts were owners and pub
fishers of The Post.
George and Russell Bennitt will
remain in Ell Centro for several days.
they said last night, until personal
business matters are cleared up, af-
ter which they may engage in the
in the newspaper business elsewhere
in the state. Their plans are indef-
mite, George said.
The Post and Press, during the
year since jenkins became publisher
have increased considerably in cir
culation and size. The deal con-
summated last night was regarded
as his expression of confidence in
the community after year in which
he has studied its problems and op-
portunitieS. Jenkins came to Ell
Centre from Denver. Colo, where
he was an advertising executive of
the Denver Post Prior to that
he had been associated with the
Kansas City Journal Post, gaining
experience which has been used to
good advantage in directing pub
lication of the Ell Centro news
papers.
Johnston has been resident of Ell
Centro for many years, coming here
from San Diego where he was adj
vertising copy writer for a large
department store. In a similar cap
acity in Ell Centre. he learned the
problems of merchants and adver-
tisers, gaining even greater exper-
ience in operation of his own store
for several years. Coming to the
Press as advertising manager, he
found his merchandising experience
of great benefit in aiding news
paper advertisers.
FitZhugh is a former Phoenix, Sac
ramento, San Francisco and Los
Angeles newspaper reporter and
sub-editor who came to Imperial
Valley seven years ago as reporter
for the Press. He later became ed
itor of The Post at its inception.
Under joint ownership he became
managing editor of both papers.
Johnston left the Press to become
advertising manager OF The Post
when it became a daily newspaper
thre years ago, and remained as ad-
vertising manager of both papers
when they were taken under joint
ownership.
Hunt gained circulation exper-
ience by advancing from the status
of news boy to circulation manager
on what he describes as "the streets
of California" Starting at the age
of 10 ON the Santa Monica Evening
Outlook. he became in turn carrier
boy. mailer, district manager and
assistant circulation manager. Later
he became circulation manager for
the Venice Evening Vanguard, and
picked up experience along the way
in Santa Ana and the San Fran
cisco bay region. In 1885 Hunt came
to Ell Centro as circulation manager
of The Post, remaining in a similar
position for The Post and Press un-
der joint ownership.
