Selected Poem
THE LIGHT IN THE WINDOW

HE LIUHI IN It1E WANUOW
BY James w. Gibbons in the Boston Post.)
A light in the window,
How friendly 1t CLEANS
Through the darkness of night,
How pleasant 1t seems
AS it speaks Of home
Where peace dwells within,
Removed from the world
With its clamor and din.
A light in the window
The days toll is DER,
How CHEEKY its rays
AS we go through the door.
Like a beacon Of hope
Where'er we may roam,
The light in the window
Will guide us safe home.

Current Comment

1t is the failure Of the democratic
societies to meet real issues with
relatively successful policies that Is
largely responsible for the reversion
to fanatical dictatorship and the
rising chaos Of war.

In the main, American democracy
must look for its defense to the
wisdom Of the people and their de-
termination not to be led on paths
that have taken other people TO
Communism and. Fascisni.

boxers on the card, besides theater

An Easter
Birthday Cake

If there's an after-the-15th of the
month birthday in your family this
year, bring on high, misunderstanding
cake covered with satiny, sunny yell
low icing and bearing yellow or pink
candles. It will look exactly right for
spring-and everyone will eXclaim with
delight over it.
But wait! The real fun comes when
the cake is cut. For then the guests
will see lavender, white and pink lay
ers put together with dainty narrow
ribbons of yellow filling. Isn't that a
lovely arrangement of the dainty pas
tel Easter colors? And won't it be fun
to serve such birthday cake this
year when Easter comes so close to
your March birthday?
EASTER LAYER CAKE

81 cups sifted cake flour or
81 cups all-purpose flour
teaspoons baking powder
! teaspoon salt
/ cup liquid thin milk or water)
l teaspoon flavoring
egg whites cat least ] cup)
Red vegetable coloring
Lavender vegetable coloring
Cream the shortening, add the sugar
gradually and continue dreaming until
powder and salt together, and add to
the creamed mixture alternately with
the liquid. Be sure to add little Of
the flour first and last. Blend in the
flavoring.
Fold in the egg whites-which have
been previously beaten until they are
stiff but not dry. Pour of the batter
into a well-greased and floured 8-inch
round layer pan.
TINT TWO OF THE LAYERS
Divide the remaining batter in half
and add or drops of red vege-
table coloring to one of these halves
and pour 1t into another well-greased
and Toured 8-inch cake pan. Tint the
other part lavender with 5 drops of
lavender vegetable coloring and pour
1t into third well-greased and Toured
8-inch round cake pan.
I want to add a special precaution
about adding the coloring. Fold it in
as gently as possible because, of course,
you do not want to break down the
fluffy, well-beaten egg whites That
would mean thinner, less fluffy layers
Now well bake the cakes in a mod
crate oven, $50 degrees F., for 25 to 30
minutes. When they come from the
oven, cool the layers and put them to-
gether with the orange filling and
spread the orange butter icing over
the top and sides Of the cake.
Arrange the layers so that the laven-
der will be on the bottom, the white
layer next and the pink on the top.

ter to grow small amount of many
things than to devote your entire area
to relatively few vegetables which will
likely be overproduced
One of the great advantages of the
home garden is the opportunity it gives
to grow annual vegetables which Won
might not otherwise try. To replace
items from the above list, or to add
to it If you have the space, here are
some suggestions:
Brussels sprouts for fall crop: Gel
cry, broccoli. especially the green
sprouting, Chinese cabbage for fan
salads; savoy cabbage, a great delicacy:
chicory or endive for fall green salads:
collards, corn salad, eggplant, celeriac,
cress, kale, kohlrabi, leek, melons, mus
tard green's. pumpkin, ogra, oyster
ter kind and the summer varieties
stage, especially the vegetable mar
rows; and turnips and rutabagas, which
are especially successful in sections
which have an early spring and late
fall.
Sweet corn should be a speciality in
gardens which have room for it, for
with no other crop Is the home gar
denis advantage in quality SO great.
A ramble through your seed catalogue
will produce other suggestions which
should be considered in making up your
seed order. Some new vegetable or va
riety added to your list will give you
more pleasure than the staples, and
it will be something to serve your
friends when they come to dine.

Just few months before the Kiley
boxing law was due to fade from the
legal picture-on Oct Is, 1914-Young
Wallace of Milwaukee and Steve
Ketchel of Chicago, lightweights,
fought 10-round draw at the Broad
way theater in Butte. 1t was a dis
appointing show from artistic and fl
nancial standpoints. The small crowd
that witnessed the card, paid 1857,
which set an all-time low for legalized
bouts in Butte.
Wallace had engaged in 8 or 10
bouts in the state, three with Paddy
O'Hern, one with Yankee Rhue, two
with Lem Kegg and several with other
lads. Ketchel had won decision from
Maurice Thompson; had numerous en-
gagements in Australia and in the
middle west. Also. Steve had showed
his plain and fancy wares before audi
ences in several Montana cities. The
match on paper had all the earmarks
of good show, but it proved to be
a bust.
Harold Crary, now a vice president
and traffic manager of United Air
Lines at Chicago, covered the bout
for the Anaconda Standard Crary,s
opening paragraph is reprinted here:

Next, 81 quarts Of pasteurized or

Among amateur gardeners this spring
there is a pronounced swing to vege-
tables. There are several reasons for
this. One is the prevalence of war in
the world and growing realization of
the important part which home vege-
table gardens play in national defense.
Then there Is fun growing vegetables
The gardeners best reward is the sense
of accomplishment which comes when
the seeds he has sown produce their
harvest, whether this may be fine zin-
MAS or tomatoes.
Some garden club leaders are urging
that gardens be devoted chiefly to
fruits and vegetables this spring; others
that a portion of every garden be set
aside for a vegetable plot. Here it is
possible to grow food of finer quail
ity than can be bought in the market,
with a substantial saving in cost, If the
owner does the small amount of work
required. Experience would be acquired
which would become valuable both for
the owner and his neighbors, should
war gardens again become necessary
in this country.
In deciding what shall be grown in
such a plot, these crops may be con-
sidered as necessary in most sections
OF our country:
Beans Parsnips
Lima Beans Parsley
BeetS Peppers
Carrots Onion Sets
Cabbage Peas
Chard Radishes
Cucumbers Swiss Chard
Lettuce Tomatoes
