blaze your grandfather had made
upon some old tree years before.
After endless hours and weeks of
toll and trouble you came out on
top of hill and looked back.
There paralleling your trail and
not very far from it was a smooth,
well-traveled road bordered by
fruit trees watered by bubbling
springs and interspersed with hot
dog stands and other places of re-
freshments. Well that's how it feels
to look back on sixty years Of a
wasted life. And now just when I
need rest the worst, I've got that to
worry about.

Probably no two families are agreed
upon the best combination of spices
for their pie, but most Of them do
agree that it must be rich with eggs
and top milk.
To, get all the good fresh pumpkin
flavor, boil pieces OF it in a minimum
amount of water until tender. Then
put it through a sieve. If you like
to get every bit of the water out of
it that you possibly can, cook it
some more in double boiler with
the lid off to evaporate the moisture.
Some cooks like to prepare pumpkin
ahead of time and store it ju the re-
frigerator since it takes such a
long time to fix it this way.
Serve piece of pumpkin pie with
the regulation whipped cream, or
be more original and add bit of
ounce preserves. Individual pump
kin pie and cider is a pleasing and
seasonal combination for party IRE

Smith Says People
Are Ford Conscious

E. G. Smith, local Ford dealer, was
all smiles today as he described the
public's enthusiastic reception Of
che new 1910 Ford va now on dis
play at dealer showrooms through
out the country.
Showroom comments are full Of
praise for the many new features of
the new models and bear out the
statement by the Ford Motor Com
pany that It's the greatest Ford line
in history Smith declared.
People are Ford Conscious this
year and are showing more genuine
enthusiasm than at anytime in our
history" he continued.
The new cars are big, substantial
and powerful in appearance. Front
end designs are distinctively mod
ern and bodies are traditionally
graceful and streamlined. Twenty
Two important improvements make
their appearance in this years great
Inc and are receiving unanimous
public approval.
Getting a substantial share of at
Sention is the new "Finger-Tip"
gearshift, located on the steering
column and standard equipment on
all Ford cars in 1910. Placed right
under the Ford tWo-spoke steering
wheel, this new space-saving gear
shift is just as easy, reliable and
quick acting as the former type and
can be operated by the finger tips.
Other refinementS include a con-
rolled ventilation system, improv-
ed, powerful, hydraulic brakes for
5traight-line stops, double acting
hydraulic shock absorberS and
Sealed Beam headlights.

Worrying Needlessly over Things

them? They were about the last
straw. Everybody yelled themselves
hoarse in condemnation of them. I
didn't even know that a girl had
lower limbs until I saw the first pair
OF boomers. thought their bodies
were just solid like their dresses
with the feet screwed on at the
bottom so you can easily imagine
what a shock it was to me and
thousands of other innocent young
men to see a girl astride of a BIZ
cycle. So again, was worried sick
wondering what the world was COM
ing to. I believe I would have given
up the struggle and shot myself if it
hadn't been for the advent of the
red and white striped stockings
the girls began to wear about that
time.
1 guess that is one reason hate
so bad to work while the wind is
blowing because we always used to
knock-off work and go to town to
watch the girls cross the street in
hopes to get to see her red stock
ing peep out from under her wind
blown skirts.
And then the split skirt. That
was the depth of degradation. Any
woman that would deliberately ex-
pose her ankle halfway to the knee
was far too depraved to be men
toned by decent people. But how
the evil-minded men folks fell for
it! The woman who wore the first
split skirt I ever saw won first
prize at a masquerade ball and
wasn't even masked. The judges
never raised their eyes high enough
to see if her face was covered. But
there was nothing the wise ones
could say except to repeat what had
already been said about other freak
fashions, each one of which was
sure to break down the moral fab
ric of our civilization and which
caused me hours. days and weeks
of needless worry.
But why continue with a story
that you know just as well as can
tell you. Every year new reform.
Every year a new TRADE of oratory
and scorn from the pulpit and the
press. Every year the women Of
the country become more healthy,
more independent, more comfort
ably dressed and more beautiful and
every year worried myself sick on
account of it all.

Where you had to scramble through

FALL VEGETABLES

COOl, Crisp nights, gluKeWarm Gays,
turning and falling leaves, all serve
to remind us that autumn has ar
rived with natures interesting color
scheme of brown, yellow, red and
russell. Pumpkin, squash and sweet
potato, typical fall vegetables, all
blend beautifully into this picture.
These vegetables not only blend in
color scheme and lend interesting
flavor to the fall fare, but are VAL
liable INTENTIONALLY for the vitamin
"a" which they contribute in abund-
ance. Vitamin "A" builds up resist
ance to infection, thus these vege-
tables are good insurance for win
ter health.
When shopping for pumpkins and
squash or choosing those from the
home grown crop to save, select the
ones that feel heavy for their size,
that have hard rind, and do not
appear damp or watersoaked. Light
weight pumpkins or those with soft
rinds are usually immature. These
vegetables keep best in q rather
warm place. This place may be q
warm, dry cellar, an unused room,
or spot in the basement near the
furnace. Small quantities of sweet
potatoes may even be kept near the
kitchen stove. When these vege-
tables are exposed to cold for any
length Of time their quality deter
iorates. Unnecessary handling causes
bruises or cuts that invite decay.
The ideal temperature for them Is
about SIS degrees Fahrenheit, but
they will keep well as high as 20
degrees.
OF course, to keep well the vege-
tables must be sound before they
are stored. A decayed sweet potato
may contaminate others. Smooth,
well-shaped, firm sweet potatoes
with a bright appearance are the
best "buy" If they have large
growth cracks In them or are badly
misshapen you'll waste hours more
in preparing them. Also watch close
~ for bruises or cuts especially on
the ends. Examine them OCCASION
ally in storage.
The old saying, 'If little is good,
more is better" appears to be the
great American objective in cooking
sweet potatoes, according to Miss
Helen Steiner, Asst. County Agent.
Sweet potatoes have a natural sugar
of their own that Is most pleasing.
Some enterprising housewife used
brown sugar as a glaze to very good
advantage. Since hat time richer
and richer combinations have been
added until the modern version of
the dressed up sweet potato casser-
sole is made for the family, try q
little less brown sugar and add the
grated orange rind, moisten with q
little orange juice and sprinkle with
q few grains Of nutmeg over all.
This is not so rich and is delicious.
Pumpkin pie still remains the
happy ending for all good pumpkin
and one of the best opportunities for
a cook to show her originality.

Out and out promoters, with ex-

Football players aren't the only
amateurs who contribute. Not BY
any means. Think Of the money
that Tilden and Bulge and Vines
and Perry and all the other tennis
amateurs have made for the tennis
associations Of the world. The boys
managed to get little Of 1t here
and there, what with a pad on the
expense account, but not much Of
1t. And there are the baseball play
ers, and the hockey players, and the
basketball players who, with the
wild growth Of that game, must
have made millions and millions for
some one.
I don't have any particular con-
clusion to draw to all this, unless 1t
be that the goose who laid the gof-

(UP) Every once IN while I have
q profound thought. It is easy for
me to recognize when these spells
are coming on. / feel dizzy and have
a ringing In my ears that even
others can hear blocks away.
The symptoms struck me this
morning when / read In the news
paper that Georgia Tech and Miss
ouri had agreed to play in the
Orange bowl, that Tulane and the
Texas Ag3ies had signed contracts
for the Sugar bowl. and that Ten
ressee and Southern California
were only waiting until late Satur-
day afternoon to pledge themselves
to the Rose bowl.
The profound thought that hit me
was this; Amateur athletes are
either the biggest philanthropists or
the biggest suckers In the world.
Each day, each month, each year,
the boys who can play at sport, and
play 1t well, contribute their serv-
ices for nothing or for pitiful pitt
lance.
Take the three bowl football
games, for example. The three OF
them will make, and this Is con-
sentative estimate, upwards Of three
quarters Of a million dollars. And
how much Of that will the players
get? Practically none. Outside of q
train ride and maybe $40 or $l5
spending money. They will con-
tribute their strength and skill fol-
nothing. They will get bopped or
the head. Kicked In the shins

remuneration.
1t doesn't add up. quite. The
school whose team plays In the Rose
bowl clears 100000, enough TO take
care of a football squad for 10 years
A Sugar bowl team Is worth around
$70,0 900. 1t represents, and an Orange
bowl team around $4,000. That's
quite bit of money for boys to
contribute each year. How many
philanthropists do you know who
are so generous? 1t Is particularly
generous on the part OF the football
players in the light Of the fact that
most Of them are so In need OF
money themselves that they have to
have help to get through school. All
the boys have In the bank, so To
speak, Is youth and strength and
skill, and they give of 1t with a
lavish hand.
To whom? To the schools and the
