Make Your Own Fat Compound. itona. Lard is 28 cents a pound. Many folks object to paying that much but realize that at the present price of hogs and with the probable future de- mand it is unlikely that the price will be reduced soon. It becomes important, then, to find a cheaper satisfactory substitute. Dr. Louise Stanley of the Missouri College of Agriculture suggests that housewives consider suet as a source of cheap fat. Suet has not been as extensively used as lard on account of its hard- er consistency. It can be obtained at about 1 cents a pound. From this can be obtained fourteen ounces of pure fat at a cost of 12 cents a pound. In. order to bring this to the consist- ency of lard it is only necessary to add oil in the proportion of one part of oil to two parts of suet. This gives a compound fat which is very satisfactory for general household use. Cottonseed oil or corn oil can now be obtained at about 21 cents a pound. On the basis of the above proportions a satisfactory lard sub- stitute can be had at a cost of 15 cents a pound. n. . Walton, Chairman. delay occas- bf water.

Polk county is’ without-an exemp- tio board. The sheriff and county clerk refuse to serve. A proud Missouri mother is Mrs. Mollie Fritzgerald of Mokane, whose six sons have registered for the draft, all being within the prescribed age limits. A new form of vandalism has brok- en out-in Johnson County. As soon as a new signboard is placed at some cross road some one steals it. Queer sense of humor some folks have. The St. Clair County Democrat says that the postoffice department has decided to cut off a large num- ber of rural routes to reduce ex- penses. The routes that will be dis- continued are those on poor roads. When a Cass county jury let John St. Leger off with a sentence of six years in the penitentiary after he had been convicted of attacking a 14 year old girl, it was necessary to take him to Kansas City to keep him out of the hands of a mob. In Osceola the other day Judge Calvird granted a divorce to Mrs. Mary Ellen Short from her husband who skipped out six years ago. It came out in the testimony that she is the mother of 21 children.—Ex. Governors Gardner’ of Missouri and Capper of Kansas have asked that F. M. Rumbold, former adjutant general of Miouri,-now on duty at the War Department in Washington, be appointed a brigadier of artillery and assigned to the r4th division. Clinton may have as many brave. men among her citizens as any other town but at a baby show in that town the Fourth of July they had to draft judges from among the visitors. One was from San Francisco, another from Knoxville, Terh., and the. third from Versailles. War conditions are blamed for the action of several Missouri fair as- sociations in calling off the annual county exhibits. Seven fairs have been discontinued for this year. Four other boards of directors have the question under advisement, leaving less than forty counties in the state where a 1017 fair is assured The ement and indignation which wese aroused in the city of -| Springfield by the kidnapping of the Keet baby, six weeks ago, and which came near to reaching its climax in the lynching of the men thought to have been the kidnapers, is again cropping out throughout the city as -|the result of an attempt Thursday night to abduct the 4-year-old daugh- ter of Lloyd Hughes, a-young busi- ness man with wealthy family con- nections. William Dannecker, 58 years old, was beaten to death at St. Louis Sat- urday by his two sons, Leo, 13 years old, and Herman, 23 years old. The brothers took turns at hammering their father with a ball bat. Her- man, the elder son, said that they killed their father because of his long continued cruelty to their stepmother. He said that his own mother killed herself because of her husband’s cruelty; that Dannecker’s second wife obtained a divorce and that the third wife, the present Mrs. Dannecker, had attempted suicide because of ill- treatment. Emma Goldman, America’s most “famous” anarchist made 10 overall jumpers establishing a record for be- ginners in the Missouri Peniten- tiary’s factory for women Thursday. She marched from her cell to the prison workshop and took her place among the 60 other women. A few instructions ‘from the foreman as to how to manage her machine sufficed, and she .immediately. set to work making overalls and jackets. While she made only to garments, as com- pared with from 40 to 50, the output of. more experienced hands, her rec- ord is without precedent in the work- shop. That the aviation camp which the United States Government is propos- ing to establish at Sedalia,.using a part of the State Fair Grounds, will make the State Fair better this year than ever before, was the belief ex- pressed at Sedalia Saturday.
