The Journal is in receipt of a long
letter from Representative J. E.
Lemon, but owing to its coming late
were unable to get into type. We
make the following excerpt from it
as it comes very dose to expressing
the Journal s views on this subject
“A letter received from Grant
county yesterday expresses disap-
proval of some statements contain-
ed in a former article on the ground
that, even if true, they should not
be told. My view is that the
wrongful acts of any individual in
or out of office can not be properly
charged to a party unless the par-
ty tries to cover up and conceal
these acts or appologize for them,
in which case they would become
party acts. If, for instance, we
should try to conceal the fact that
loans of $55,000 were made during
the last administration in Kiowa'

exchange, and as the Journal has
had a like experience within the
past year, which goes to prove
there are yet a few people affected
with a complaint which we design-

First Grant County Free Fair.
The First Grant County Free
Fair will be held at the Jefferson
Fair Grounds on September 18 to

Demostration Agent, J. R. Thomas
and Larue Thomas, editor of the
Jefferson Review, Secretary. The
members of the Park Board have
given the free use of the Fair
Grounds, stalls, sheds, grand stand,
racetrack and other conveniences
for the Fair.
The horse racing features of
county fairs have been cut out on
ac -ount of the great cost and for
the reason that the majority of the
people are no longer interested in
that sport.

the Boys and Girls Club displays.
Arrangements are being made for

The premium lists will be ready

SAVE BOTH TIME AND LABOR
Casserole Dishes Should Be Constant-
ly In the Mind of the Housewife
in the Summer.
The long list of casserole dishes are
among the time and labor savers of
the summer housewife. With every-
thing cooked In and served from the
same dish, table service, as well as
dishwashing, is reduced to the mini-
mum, while even a commonplace prep-
aration is given a bit of elaboration
by this process.
In the same practical category be-
longs the attractive serving of an oc-
casional planked dish, surrounded by
an alternating variety of vegetables.
While In reality the meat or fish so
served may have been broiled In the
regulation way, it gains much in ap-
pearance if served in imitation of a
planked dish, occupying the center of
a large platter with the vegetables as
a border. Mounds of mashed potato
or boiled rice, alternating with
mounds of some fresh vegetable, are
quite sufficient, although more va-
riety Is easily possible. Vegetables
served In this way make an attractive
garnish, at the same time lessening
the number of dishes required on the
table.
