The Wall of The Males

Have you little buckwheat starter
in your home? And if so, is it added
to every night so that next morning
there will be many little and many big
buckwheat cakes? Or is it allowed to
stand and get sour? Or is it thrown
out and forgotten about, and never a
fresh "starter" brought in from the
neighbors or from some few scattered
homes where they cater to the desires
of the stomach regularly throughout
the winter months.
Of course, Pm not getting personal
in this matter. With me and my stom-
ach, what it is, buckwheat cakes would
not make good fodder and aid diges-
ton. Now, several years ago l could
have gotten personal. For instance,
there were two traits that l deter
mined to look for in a wife when l
was yet very young and tender. She

Man Living Alone Found Dead

John LEM, of Shallmar, where he
was employed as a miner, was found
dead in his bed Monday morning. The
discovery was made by a neighbor who
had gone into Lenz's house to secure
his laundry.
Constable Roy Sewers was called
and he made an investigation. The
man, according to authorities, had
been dead about eight hours when his
body was found and that the cause Of
death was a probable heart attack suf-
fered during the night preceding.
LEM had been resident of the COM
munity for about thirty years. He was
unmarried and had no known relatives
in this section. No further investiga-
ton is contemplated by the State
Attorneys office.

This, you'll understand, was before

attempting, after the honeymoon,
from trying to arouse her enthusiasm
for buckwheat. She was from West
Virginia-but not from Preston coun-
ty, which ranks pretty well along with
Garrett for its buckwheat fame.
The enthusiasm, l soon found out,
was not to be aroused as far as buck
wheat was concerned, and as for the

myself. Lesson ten, on a 36-lesson

never considered allowing such IL
formation to be spread about the world
until recently. In September, l read in
an article in the Farmers Wife Maya
zine that the editor, F. W. Beckman,
and one of his field editors, Carroll
Streeter, had brought to st. Paul
Minnesota, some pure and unadulter-
ated buckwheat from distance of one
thousand miles, and that the subse-
quent results were worth the effort.
So at Christmas time l sent them
some Garrett County buckwheat and
pure maple syrup. The replies 1 got
from the editors convinced me that |
was not alone in suffering for lack
of buckwheat. On the other hand there
were evidently many husbands in the
same predicament.
Mr.. Beckman wrote, "When I was
youngster among the hills of north
eastern Iowa, buckwheat pancakes
were regular fare from the time we
put on red flannel underwear until the
time we took it off. But in all the
years since I went away from home
buckwheat cakes have been too in
frequently part of my fare.
"In this attitude of women folks
with respect to buckwheat cakes I am
inclined to think there ought to be a
law about it with severe penalties for
not having them when the markings
are available"
Mr.. Streeter wrote, 81 have been
thinking a good while about this prob
lem of getting the pancakes actually
made. The same applies to coffee cake
and sour cream cookies. l wonder how
it would be to put chart on the kit
chen wall and give the cook a star
every day she obliged. Or maybe we
could have fagpole on the house and
run up a suitable banner to signalize
the occasion"

The Garrett County buckwheat and
maple syrup, by the way, were tested
in the Country Kitchen of the Far
mer's Wife magazine, by Miriam
Williams, foods editor, and a stag
lunch held, attended by representa-
tives of the Farmers Wife, and The
Farmer.
One of the men wrote: "She tried
three recipes on us-one using some
white flour, one using some cornmeal
and one straight buckwheat-bu after
the first round she had hard time
selling anything but the straight
buckwheat. We all agreed that there
was no use communicating good buck
wheat with anything"

A moderate amount of grumbling, a

guments are generally signs of a heal

C. Young, Louisiana State University

Such news as this should make lot
of families in Garrett county feel bet

He explains his stand this way:
GLOW shall the family handle anger
and bitter talk? Certainly not by de-
nying that anger often exists in the
family; instead, by allowing the one
who feels aggrieved to state his griev-
ance. If grievances are stated honestly
they can be righted promptly and
making up can take place. Sometimes
in a family that never had a quarrel

JEWS TO OBSERVE
FEAST WITH FAST
Yom Kippur to Be Cele.
brated Sept. 23-Day
of At0nement

Observance Of Yom Kippur, the
Day of Atonement, the most solemn
holy day In the Jewish calendar,
which falls on Saturday, September
%, will commence with services IN
the Synagogue, Friday evening, Sep
tember 40. A traditional chant
known as the Kol Nidre Is q special
feature Of this opening service.
According TO the Jewish calendar,
Yom Kippur falls on the tenth day
after Rosh Hashono, or New Years
Day. Orthodox, Conservative and
Liberal Jews observe the day, which
Is devoted to fasting and prayer.
Not connected with any nature
festival or historic event, the Atone-
ment Day probably originated out Of
the spiritual evolution Of Judaism.
From one great harvest festival
which marked the fall season In an
Client days, three separate holy days.
New Year, Atonement Day and
Feast OF Tahernacles, were Develop
ed. The Atonement Day, the middle
festival, stressed the idea that be-
fore embarking on the joyous rev.
elry Of q harvest feast. the people
should cleanse themselves OF their
sins.
After the destruction Of the Tenn
pie, In the year 70 O. E., the holy
day retained Its character with each
individual In the Synagogue recit-
ing the prayers that had made up
the Temple Service.
The blowing Of the shofar, .
rams horn, marks the conclusion
Of the service which lasts from early
morning TO sun down. Having asked
forgiveness, the individual prays
that he be inscribed in the book Of
life for the coming year.
Following the day Of fasting q
feast Is held in the home symbolic.

bration Of the harvest OF happiness
that comes from obedience Of the

Selections from the Bible include
the following Il John 2;l5-iO
Love not the world, neither the
things that are In the world. II any
man love the world. the love Of the
Father Is not In him. For all that
Is In the world, the lust OF the

from page i7i:i7-24: "Mistaking his

Micah: Messenger Of Social Justice
Text: Micah s:I-le, s:s-s

the opposition that brought Him 10
Calvary.
In addition to being O great and
clear-secing idealist, Micah was also
mighty prophet and preacher,
speaking out plainly and fearlessly
against the evils OF his time and
bringing the responsibility for them
home directly TO the rulers Of the
nation. He charged them that they
had no regard for justice. He ac-
cused them Of hating the good and
loving the evil. He asserted that
they were destroying the life Of the
people, using the terribly realistic
words In verse three OF the lesson
about "eating the flesh Of my peo-
pie, and flaying their skin from of
them, and breaking their bones, and
chopping them In pieces, as for the
pot"
II Is O terrible figure, but II Is
not too strong considering what
has happened again and again IN
history as those set TO rule and
govern have betrayed their peo-
pie and led them into degrada-
ton and ruin. Nor are the re-
suits Of such O course confined to
the havoc upon innocent lives. The
trouble with such evil Is that II des-
troys the very power TO discern the
right and vision upon which oil bet
terment depends.
Are these words Of Micah too
strong for today? They are, II we
would apply them to all, for there
are many among our rulers and
leaders whose hearts are genuinely
for the right and welfare Of the
people.
But they are not, II we have In
mind self-sceking politicians and
grafters who have been all too
numerous In our social and political
life and whose chief concern has
been their personal gain and ag-
grandizement, regardless Of their
trust and Of what happened TO
others as consequence Of their
betrayal Of their trust.

There were 81 less accidents In

Improvement over last year.
Personal injury accidents have
