James Ray of Garrett Tuesdav with his brother, Wm. h Ray, and family. He picked some cherries and took them home with him.

Ecclesiastical admonitions, however, had the effect oi bringing that somewhat queer custom to an end. It is a pretty belief, but incorrect, that the fourth finger of the left hand was chosen for the ring finger because from that a vein ranNiirectly to the heart. The choice was for practical reasons —to save <%the ring from unnecessary usage. That also is the reason for the ring being worn on the left hand. • o Notice of Improvement Resolution > Syracuse, Indiana, July 3. 1928.

for the apple snow, two egg whites, 4 cents, three-fourths cup canned apple sauce. 8 cents, lemon juice, 2 cents, total, 14 cents; letnca wafers, 5 cents; coffee, 5 centi. Grand total 95, cents. Easy to Prepare the dinner whs easy, too. To begin with, Sally made her salad of cabbage. French dressing, and green peppers. The fish patties .were made by mixing the can of flakes with the cup of mashed potatoes (left over from the night before) and sauteing them in the fat. To mal'e the apple snow she beat the two egg whites to a froth, folded in three-fourths cup apple sauce and added a dash of nutmeg and lemon juice tp taste. Sally used the lemon wafers because they were inexpensive and their flavor went with the apple snow very well. The coffee she served-black. There were five cents out of her dollar left over to allow for fuel and seasonings.
