Auoust. 20. wear 60 A. D. is the date
to which New Testament chronoio-
gists assign the most famous snip
wreck in history.
The disaster had been forecast by
Paul, the erstwhile Saul of Tarsus.
Acts q: Gil: :,
paul admonished them, and said
unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this
voyage will be with hurt and mucn
damage, not only of the lading ana
ship, but also of our lives.
Nevertheless the centurion believ-
ed the master and the owner of the
ship, more than those things which
were spoken by Paul"
Paul escaped death, of course, and
was cast upon the isle of Malta, where
he remained until Spring.
Like a Biblical occurrence was the
fate that overcame the New BEDFORD
whaler, Ann Alexander, in the Pacific,
on August 20, 1851.
Men started chasing a sperm whale
in small boats, and started for the
whaler There was no time for the
captain to get his ship underway. The
whale hit the Ann Alexander abreast
of her foremost, about two feet above
keel, and knocked great hole in the
bottom. Pumps could not keep her
afloat, though anchors, cables and
other heavy objects were tossed over
board She sank from stem to stern.
Even in these modern days, such
things harpen. Within the year, a
248-ton Norwegian whaler was attack
ed by whale which tore off the pro-

A WISH FOR MOTHERS
l would like to make a wish so
grand
For every mother in all our land,
For those who have built up our
lives by theirs
And have steadied US by their
voiceless prayers.
They have shielded by love that
never tires,
They have turned our thoughts
from wrong desires;
We have selfshly taken, as our just
due,
Her sacrifice to a purpose true.
Unworthy of this we have often
been
And grieved them with negligence
Ger again.
Forgiveness we ask of the Father
above
For e'er disregarding a mothers
love.
And oh, if my wish could be grant
ed today
I would wish that ever, on each
mothers way,
Would fall the bright glow of q
love returned,
The warmth of affection for which
she yearned.
I would wish that her heart might
from care be free,
All anxious care, lest to you and
me
Might come some load too heavy
to bear
Or that we might falter or fail
somewhere. ...
A wish that her fears may all fade
away
And the fruitage of faith she may
see each day;
To honor them now, let US pledge
anew,
We will try to make these wishes
come true.
Also in honor of mothers want
to submit cake recipe that is a
daisy, hence the name "Lazy Daisy
Cake" Why don't you girls sur
prise your mother with one on Sun
day. This recipe was given me by
Mrs. Jean Wright of this city as
follows:
Heat one-half cup milk and 2
tbsp. of butter in a. saucepan.
When hot, add to the following
mixture: Beat 2 eggs till fluffy.
Gradually add 1 cup sugar, then 1
tsp. fiavoring vanilla, lemon or
almond). Sift 1 cup cake -four and
l tsp. baking powder. Add this to
sugar and egg mixture. Now pour
in hot milk and butter. Bake in a
moderate oven { 35O'-400') for 80
minutes in a square, shallow, I'M
creased pan.
While the cake is baking slowly,
cook 5 tbsp. brown sugar; 2 tbsp.
cream and 8 tbsp. butter in a little
sauce-pan-and pour this caramel
topping on the cake as soon as it
is done. Sprinkle this with cocoa
nut and toast under the flame.
Now you have a delicious dish to
set before your mother on Mothers
Day.
Further signs of spring in Du-
luth beside those good OF dande-
lion greens are the presence of
those germ-laden pests-fies-and
I swear, a mosquito bit me today.
