Libby, Sept II, 1914
To the Editor of the
Western News.
Evidently some of the children
of Libby haven't learned not to mo-
lest other peoples property.
| have been forced to this con-
clusion after having suffered the
depridations of some unknown
youngsters in my own yard and |
have learned of similar laWless acts
on others property.
There is a popularity about this
destruction Of property 1t seems to
be worse after school starts. Dur
ing the summer the youngsters ap-
parently are otherwise occupied but
/ have noticed that when they be-
gin to travel back and forth from
the school, they apparently become
reckless regarding other persons
property. 1t doesn't seem necessary
to notify parents that it is their
simple duty to see that their chill
dren do not SO occupy themselves
1t was told this week Of an in
stance in which someone went into
Libby widows garden and prac-
tically destroyed it about two
weeks ago. Beans were cut off even
with the ground and heavily laden
tomato plants were also destroyed.
| doubt, however, If this was the
work of youngsters. H had more
the appearance of having been done
by an adult.
The nation is rightly concerned
about the prevalence of juvenile de-
linquency. Parents should keep a
closer watch on their children and
what they are doing.

Roast for Two
is Sirl0in Lamb

Cooking meals for two presents
a challenge to the homemaker
whether she is bride or mother
whose children are married and
away from home. 1t requires spe-
cial planning to purchase and pre-
pare food in small quantities.
Jessie Alice Cline, home econo-
mist, suggests that there are many
small cuts of meat available which
make it point-possible to serve
roasts for tiny household. One
ideal roast or-two" is the bone
less sirloin lamb roast, she says.
The meat is made into compact
roll weighing little more than two
pounds. 1t will satisfy the craving
for roast meat just as effectively
as if it were a whole leg of lamb.
Roast the meat on a rack in an
open roasting pan in a slow oven
(300'F.), for about one hour and
20 minutes. If a meat thermom-
eter Is used it will register 18O'F.
when the meat IS well done.
In cooking sirloin lamb roast
it must be remembered that a small
roast requires more minutes per
pound than large one, and q boned
and rolled roast requires more time
than roast with the bone in. AL
low about 40 minutes per pound for
a boned and rolled sirloin lamb roast
