All Over The County

GIFFORD. Quite a spell of weather we are having. Mrs. Della Reed is on the sick list at this writing. John Stockwell was a Wlheatfield goer Saturday. Amy Brown visited Jennie Openchain Saturday.

Billie Markin and family and Hazel Brown were the Sunday guests of Irvin Lewis and family. A crowd of young folks from Gifford attended literary at Independence Thursday night. All reported a nice time.

A Winter Cough.

A stubborn, annoying depressing cough hangs on, racks’ the body, weakens the lungs, and often leads to serious results. The first dose of Dr. King’s New Discovery gives relief. Henry D. Sanders, of Cavendish, yt., was threatened with consumption, after having puemonia. He writes: “Dr. King’s New Discovery ought to be in every family; it is certainly the best of all medicines for coughs, colds or lung trouble.” Good for children’s coughs, Money back if not satisfied. Price 50c and SI.OO. Recommended by A F. LONG.

Lewis was a Rensselaer goer Saturday. The newly-weds were Rensselaer goers Saturday. Manly Stowers moved to "Nubbin Ridge” Thursday. The home talent company is rehearsing another play.

Miss Ethel Gratner has returned from an extended visit with her sister, Mrs. George Hefferlein, of Brook. We are wondering why some of the gn-ls of this vicinity are so anxious for the mail man to come along on Friday’s. . . The boys were kept pretty busy with their cowbells and shotguns Wednesday night. They were given cigars at two different places. Jim Acres will move into the house occupied by Clyde Burrows

on the Victor Yeoman farm. Mr. Acres is going to work for Mr. Yeoman next summer. Warren Galbrath was down from Nubbin Ridge Thursday and reported that some of his neighbors aren’t done husking yet. Too many nubbins last season, eh? Warren.

Horrible Blotches of Eszema

Quickly cured by Dr. Hobson’s Eczema Ointment. C. P. Caldwell, of New Orleans, La., states: “My doctor advised me to try ‘Dr. Hobson’s Eczema Salve.’ I used three boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Dr. Hobson’s Derma Zema Soap. Today I have not a spot anywhere on my body and can say I am cured.” It will do the same for you. Its soothing, healing, antiseptic action will rid you of all skin humors, red unsightly sores, and leaves your skin clean and healthy. Get a box today. Guaranteed. All druggists, 50c or by mail Pfeiffer Chemical Co., Philadelphia and St. Louis.

FOUR CORNERS. Orville Fisher went to Mt. Ayr Thursday on business. Jens Jensen, of Rensselaer, attended the lecture Monday night. Charles Jensen came up day to attend Pa Williams sale. iHe continues to hover near. Robert Timmons and his father will hold their sale today, Saturday. Report says they will move to Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hixson, who have been confined to the house on account of the effect of this ground hog weather, are feeling some better. Mrs. Coleman, of Wheatfield, fell Monday night while on the way to attend church, and broke her arm. Dr. Fyfe was called and reduced the fracture. Monday night was the last night of the lecture course here. It proved a pleasant financial success and those who were at the head deserve a vote of thanks. George Ferguson had a horse to fracture his foreleg and another one to get crippled Tuesday night. Dr. Downie, o fNorth Judson, was called to treat them.

The revival meeting conducted by the Rev. Campbell, assisted by Rev. Morris, the pastor here, closed Tuesday night with some 70 additions to the church and a good healthy donation for the laborers. Malcom Clark made his maiden effort Tuesday at the Williams sale as an auctioneer. While there is life there is hope. Really he did fine and will give it another trial Saturday at the Timmons sale. It can be said for the Wheatfield saloon —and we are no friend to a saloon, notwithstanding J. B. to the contrary—that the booze that was the direct cause of Wednesday’s blowout was not purchased there. J. B. DeArmond will have a sale soon, have not been informed where he will locate. If a few more democrats leave the township they will be as scarce here as republicans were! at the last election, and the moomoo of the bull moose will be heard in the lifnd.

A few days ago John Garlich, while sawing wood for Geo. Hoosline with his gasoline outfit, was caught by the saw and the thumb and forefinger nearly severed from his left hand.' H 6 was hurried to Dr. Fyfe’s office and the thumb and finger stitched on and hand neatly dressed, with the chances favorable for saving both. Wheatfield had the greatest shaking up in-a religious way this month that it ever had, and a great deal of good was accomplished, but after all there was some evidently left that should have taken a dose or two, judging by the disgraceful scenes Wednesday. Our County Agent Barrett and his friend from Purdue, who lectured here that p. m., no doubt imagined that they were in Mexico. Wheatfield has a fire chief, and now the next thing in order is to have a police chief elected. The same person might fill both positions, just increase the pay, of course. It will be necessary to have two signals so one would know whether to get the water pail or “Johnnie get your gun,” which would signify that there was booze trouble on Ifahd. There must be some police protection for the people from the rural districts when they come to town.

Men and women having backache, rheumatism, stiff and swollen joints are honestly glad to know that Foley Kidnpy Pills are successful everywhere in driving out these ills.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES

Spigot Which Delivers Water In Spray or Solid Stream.

lhe water which comes from the ordinary spigot generally issues forth In a somew’hat broken column, which splashes around in all directions when it strikes the bottom of the sink. There are attachments to be placed on the nozzle which transforms this into a splashless stream, but the newest thing in kitchen paraphernalia is a device which, when placed on the end of the spigot, delivers a shower or a solid stream, as desired. This fits tightly on the end. but is made in two parts, one moving within the other. A twist in one direction causes a solid column of water to fall from the center, while a turn in the other direction transforms the stream into a shower falling on a rather broad area.

Potato Pie. The ingredients: one quart of mashed potatoes, two tablespoonf\ Is of melted butter, half a teaspoonful of salt, two cupfuls of chopped meat, half a cupful of creamy milk, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one egg. flour and seasonings. To the mashed potatoes add the melted butter and the well beaten egg. then the creamy milk. Add enough flour to make a soft dough, but one that will roll out. Cover a deep pie tin or a baking dish with this crust, which should be about half an inch thick. For the filling of the pie use cold chopped meats; several kinds can be used if liked and is a good way to use leftovers. Add a few chopped cold boiled potatoes. Pour over the filling a little good stock to moisten. Cover with the remaiijder of the dough and bake until a nice brown.

Potted Beef Tongue. Trim a frosh hoof tongue. Prepare a cupful of carrot cubes, one of tor nips and one of minced celery if nt hand; otherwise use half a teaspoonful of celery seed. Brown these with the tongue in drippings, season with salt and pepper, add a sprig of parsley, a bit of bay leaf and a sprig of thyme and then place ali in a crock, the vegetables below’ and over the meat. Add boiling water or stock to touch the bottom of the meat and simmer very gently for two hours to two hours and a half. Partly cool the tongue, remove the skin and serve hot on a bed of spinach or with a vegetable gravy. This same method may be used for lambs’ or pigs’ tongues.—Country Gentleman. i

Baked Potatoes With Bacon. Baked potatoes with bacon tnake a fine breakfast dish. Wash a half dozen potatoes and cut lengthwise. Layin a baking pan. dust over with salt and pepper and then lay a thjn slice of bacon on each potato. Bake in the oven until the potatoes are tender and the bacon is a nice brown. Another nice way to bake potatoes is to cut them into •halves crosswise and scoop out the center in cup shape. Chop some cold bam or other meat and mix with a little seasoning and melted butter. Fill the potato cups with this and bake In the oven until the potatoes are tender.

Why Not Follow Suit?

County Agent Barrett has been advising we farmers to get together and buy our fertilizers as raw materials and mix them ourselves, which he says without a doubt it’s as good as the factory mixed goods and in fact all with whom I have talked, that have tried it, back up his statement. 1 Recently the Farmers’ Organization of Marion township called a meeting and invited in some of the fertilizer agents to make bids on the amount wanted by the various men. Our county agent, Mr. Barrett, was unable to attend the meeting, but several of us had talked with him regarding the prices of mixing and proportions, etc., and a composite order of materials was made up to the amount of 28 tons of Mureate Potash and 53 tons of Acid Phosphate and the best prices which could be gotten were $40.50 a ton for the Mureate and $13.75 a ton for the 14 per cent Acid Phosphate and this amounts to $1,862.75. This amount of materials, so County Agent Barrett shows mo now, is equal to 82 tons of 5-13 and 33 tons and 400 pounds of 10-10 with 80 pounds of Mureate Potash left over. The price of both 5-13 and 10-10 from the same agent to whom the order was given is $23.50 a ton and at that price the amount of plant foods which we got would have cost us $2,707.20, so it is easily seen amongst us that we saved $844.45 or about one-third of the amount it would have co£t us, or slightly better than 44 per cent of the cost price.

Jasper county is one of the big fer-tilizer-using Bounties of the state and one in which I believe as County Agent Barrett says, that the land in general is not greatly in need of nitrogen and the other two elements of fertility which we need to pay attention to, being mineral elements and obtainable from commercial sources only, > we should pay attention to the elements of potash and phosphoric acid and get these from the cheapest possible source, and that without a question of a doubt, is in the raw state and purchased through the Farmers’ Organization. Why can not other townships get together and do as we did in Mat-ion? xx
