Owing to the quick cooking much of the natural fia- vor of the meat is developed and re- tained. The fact should be kept in mind that Hamburg steak must be made from fresh, well-ground meat. It is much safer to chop the meat at home, as chopped meat spoils very quickly, Much depends, too, upon browning it sufficiently to bring out the flavors. Many cooks think that Hamburg steak is improved if the meat \s mixed with milk before it is cooked. In some parts of the country, and particularly in some of the Southern states, two kinds of beef are on sale. One is imported from other parts of the country and is of higher price. The other, known locally as “native beef,” ls sometimes lacking in flavor and in fat and is usually tougher. Southern oative beef, such as is raised in Flort- da, is almost invariably, however, of STATE OF MISSOURI, } County of Bates.

By County Superintendent P, M, Allison, Highland College of Hightand Kan- sas has offered a free scholarship to the rural graduate in Bates county selecting their school, who makes the highest average. They want only those who can attend to try on this. If any pupil cares forthis please let me know and I will award this June first. Any pupil who took the last examination is eligible but unless you are sure you can attend do not apply. The application can be made by writing a letter to me saying that you desire to try. At this time of year we usually have some one trying to sell supplies of some sort to school boards and they usually sell at a high price and often something not very essential and of an inferior quality. It is to be hoped that boards will not have anything to do with them and if in need of any thing buy direct or from a home man. Our friend E, E. Laughlin recently wroteanarticle for the Corn Growers’ Department of Colman’s Rural World that contained some very wholesome advice on the subject of Corn Improve- ment and which might well beapplied to any other line of work. I am sure our boys who are taking up this work willdo well to read Mr. Laughlins advice. The following teachers are reported to teach at the places designated: Miss Mamie Culver, Brush College in Hudson; Mr. R. L.Lynn, Hudson City in Hudson; Mr. J. C. Maxey, Cherry Grove in Deep Water; Mr. Jessie Umstattd Fair Play, in Spruce; Mrs. Nannie Gilliland, Johnstown; Miss Lydia Beaman, Oak Grove in Spruce; Miss Verna Chapman, Fair View in Spruce; Miss Elsie Mc Clenny Freeze Out in Spruce, Miss Minnie Cole, Edwards Grand River, Miss Ruth Rush, Griggs in Shawnee; Miss Dora Rush, Olive in Shawnee; Miss Myrtle Randall, Harmony in Shawnee; Mr. Jas. H. Park, Belmont in Charlotte; Miss. Maude Morgan, Star in Lone Oak; Miss Etha Lincoln, Dillon in Mound; Miss. Myrtle Burch, Pleasant Gap in Pleasant Gap; Miss Jessie Burch, Double Branch in Pleasant Gap, Miss Pearl Kemper, Prairie City in Prairie; Miss Della Stephenson, Green Valley in East Boone; Miss Jennie Stevenson, Klondike ‘in Wal- nut. and expects to spend next winter at Warrensburg in school. Over at Harmony in Shawnee they are having school yet and the attend- ance here is light. They are making a special effort to finish the years’ | work according to the course of study. They seem to be having the most trouble with geography. Miss Minnie Cole is teacher and is trying to leave the work in the very best condition possible for next year. We are quite sure that Miss Randall will find the school well classafied. Several pupils have enrolled in the contests this week and it looks like the girls will do equally as well as the boys. Every week and almost every day I receive letters from pupils who have tried in some of the former contests saying they did not win but that they are not discouraged but are going to try again. Such pupils will succeed in life as well as in school and we are truly glad to know that we have such pupils. They are coming to realize that it is not the prize so much that does them good, but the trying. Miss Elsie Park reported Ruby Burkholder and Edith Niswonger as having spelled all the words in the spelling contest in Fair View school in Osage township. Some of the pupils of this school were seriously troubled when they failed in this work but they will succeed next time. Along the Miami. L. L. Judy was selling meat in our vicinity Tuesday of last week. Miss Susie Henson visited with home folks from Friday until .Tues- day noon. Miss Ethel Fisher held the lucky number that drew the $2.50 gold piece at the Electric Theater Saturday night. Will Stultsand Lafe Cook of Passaic were fishing, on the Miami, recently. Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt’s children are recovering from a recent attack of whopping cough. extremely good flavor, due presumably to the feed or other conditions under which it is raised. By chopping such meat and cooking it as Hamburg steak, a dish almost as palatable as the best cuts of the more expensive beef may be obtained. It such cases, however, (t 1s desirable because of the low per- centage of fat to add suet or butter to the meat. The reason for this is that | in the cooking the water of the juice when unprotected by fat evaporates too quickly and leaves the meat dry. This may be prevented by adding egg as well as fat, for the albumen of the egg hardens quickly and tends to keep \n the juices. The proportion should be one egg to 1% pounds of meat. HEIGHT OF CULINARY ART Preparation of Savory Gravies and Sauces Is the Test of the Competent Cook, The art of preparing savory gravies and sauces {s more important in con- nection with the serving of the cheap- er meats“than {n connection with the cooking of the more expensive. There are a few general principles anderlying the making of all sauces or gravies, whether the liquid used {s wa- ter, milk, stock, tomato juice, or some combination of these. For ordinary gravy two leve) tablesponfuls of flour, or 1% tablespoonfuls of cornstarch or arrowroot {is sufficient to thicken a cupful of liquid. This is true except- ing when the flour is browned. In this case about one-half tablesponful more should be allowed, for browned flour does not thicken so well as un- browned, The fat used may be butter or the drippings‘ from the meat, and ents is to heat the fat, add the flour and cook until the mixture ceases to bubble, and then to add the liquid. This is a quiek method, and by using {t there is little danger of getting a lumpy gravy. Many persons, however, think it is not a wholesome method and prefer the old-fashioned one of thickening the gravy by means of flour mixed with a little cold water. The latter method is of course not practicable for brown gravies, Pumpkin Pie, Add the beaten yolks of four eggs and one cupful of white sugar to two cupfuls of pumpkin that has been stewed and put through a colanden With this mix a quart of milk, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, mace and nutmeg mixed, and the whites of the eggs beaten stiff. Line a deep pie plate with a good paste, cut slashes in it here and there, stir the pumpkin custard well from the bottom and put into the pastry. Bake in a steady oven. Lemon Ring. One and one-half pounds of flour, half a pound of butter, one pound of sugar, three lemons, four eggs, half a cupful of milk. Rub the butter into the flour. Mix in the sugar and the grated rind of the lemons. Beat up the eggs well, and wet paste with Ernest Smith made a short visit in Merwin Wednesday. Tom Cooper, of Kansas City, one of our old time- merchants, was in town Wednesday. Mrs. F. E. Witter, who has been on the sick list for several days, is improving nicely. Mrs. Geo. White, who has been visiting relatives in the country for a few days, returned home Tuesday. R. C. Chappell returned from a business trip to Des Moines, lowa, Monday. % Miss Elsie Williams went to Kansas City Friday to visit her parents. Truman Larned, who was n to the hospital at Kansas City last wéek, died Saturday morning. The body was brought home on the afternoon train Sunday. The south bound passenger train, due here at 2:20 a. m., did not arrive till 9.00 a. m. on account of a freight wreck near West Line. Marion Stitt is having his house re- roofed. Mr. Stitt’s house was built in 1841 and this is the third roof. There wasa big crowd in town Saturday. The merchants were all busy.

Stepp, Dan Scott, Tom Miller and their dogs made life miserable for the wolves Friday night. Ophelia was awful busy helping her mother clean house last week and still more of it in sight.
