T. M. MoAleer of Milroy township was in Wednesday to get a little news from the outside world and take out mail for several of his neighbors as well as his own. In his section the roads were cleared out so that they were passable but a part of the rural route in west was still blockaded. At the regular meeting of the city council Monday night, not much of any business was transacted other than the allowance of claims. All the members were present except Councilman Warner. Mose Leopold was re-elected city attorney, receiving the unanimous vote of the four councilmen present. A message was received by relatives here from Larimore, North Dakota, the first of the week announcing the serious illness of Ed Hull is.

L.. E. Barber, who for the past several years has been employed in the clothing department of the Rowles & Parker store, resigned his position and left Wednesday for Marion, Indiana, to take instruction for the work he is soon to take up as traveling salesman for the Marion 9hoe and Rubber Co. Mr. Barber expects to commence his new duties February 1. Mr. and Mrs. Barber, we are glad to state, will continue their residence in Rensselaer. There are a great many farmers within a few miles of Rensselaer who have cord wood to sell, no doubt, that could perform no more patriotic duty at the present time than to bring in some of this wood anil thereby help to relieve the fuel shortage here. Others who have not the • wood cut but have timber on their farms could easily cut a few loads of pole wood and haul them to town. They would not only receive a good round price for their wood but would be doing a favor to their fellowmen and their country at large by so doing. Get busy and show that you are made of the right sbutff in this emergency.

Coal may be saved, says the superintendent of a college heating plant at Manhattan, by keeping an even lire so the rooms will not become overheated. At times when the rooms are not occupied the heat should he shut off from them, in case you use a furnace. Fires should be carefully banked at night, so that they will not allow the house to become chilled. Coal should be put in often and in not too large quantities at a time. Keep a full bed of live coals constantly, but be careful not to overload the fire with much coni. If the furnace has an open, coarse* grate, use coarse coal. If It has a fine grate, use fine coal. It Is wasteful to throw large, heavy chunks of coal Into the furnace. The lumps should not be larger than three or four inches In diameter. All large pieces should be broken. Frequent stirring of the fire is wasteful, as pieces only partially burned fall through the grate. T 1

“Ah!” sighs the enamored swain, as the taxicab rolls smoothly and swiftly on Its way. “If we might ride on thus forever together! Would it not seem heavenly to you?” Vlt might be very nice,” calmly responds the beautiful creature. “Papa owns a half-interest in this taxicab company.”

The next time you bake pies, especially juicy pies, try adding a little corn starch to the crust. One teaspoonful to a pie will prevent the under crust from being heavy. Try mixing the sugar and flour and adding It to the fruit before putting your pie together. The pie will be more evenly sweetened and you will not bite into any lumps of flour. Do not stretch the top crust. In pressing the edges together push the edge of the top crust toward the center of the pie. This allows plenty of room for the fruit to cook and prevents the crust from bursting open and the juice escaping. Save an ounce of juice or an ounce of meat or potato. •

Two cupfuls sour milk, one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful salt, one egg and flour enough to roll out like biscuit dough. Cut into narrow strips one inch wide and three inches long; fry brown in hot laud, like doughnuts, or fry In spider with hall lard and half butter,’ browning on both sides. Serve hot. Excellent with coffee.

Add a teaspoonful of liquid ammonia to a basin of soapy water. Squeeze the boa lightly la this until all the dirt has been removed. Rinse in cold water several times, then pass through a bluing water and hang in the open' air to dry. Shake occasionally until the feathers are all opened out. . / ; '

Authority is like a fine instrument; it depends altogether on the hands that are using it. The wisest man in the world lias to leave it to the mother to know what the baby is crying for. This is an age of substitutes," but we can remember the time when a small boy could count on a day’s vacation every time his schoolteacher had a headache. '
