A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Last Saturday morning Jude
Cordray living a few miles south-
west of town drove over to his
neighbors, Col. II. J. Bailey, to
borrow a disc. He hitched to it
tieing his buggy on behind. After
going a couple hundred yards the
team started to run away, They
had not gone far till thestub tongue
was broken off and Jude was thrown
to the ground and his foot was
caught under one of the discs and a
wound about four inches long made.
The team got lose from the imple-
ment and ran up to Henry Ful-
wider’s. One of the Beatty boys
came and took Jude home and Col.
Bailey went after the team, luckily
they were not hurt. It will be
several weeks before Jude will be
able to resume work again.

T. W. Peter left last Monday for
Danville, Kans. to take charge of the
store he recently bought. Before
leaving he ordered the Journal sent
him. Mrs, Peter expects to move to
the new home the first of the coming
week.
t
S. B. Fling, R. C. Stone and the
writer went out and made a careful
examination for fly on some volunteer
rye that was growing in an infested
wheat field. We were unable to locate
a single fly on the stems of rye W'e
would like for any who read this to
make an examination and if they find
any fly on rye stalks to let us know of
it, because a great many are talking
of sowing rye early for their pasture.
A phone message says that Mr
Mindius, who built the derrick west
of town, would be there in a few days
with plenty of capital and commence
sinking the oil well at once. This
sounds good and we hope it will prove
true. As we on the out side are anx-
ious to know whether there is any-
thing but salt and gyp water under
us.
The Kremlin Journal reports that
there is considerable fly in the wheat
about that town. The Oklahoma far-
mer has a big task ahead of him, and
that is to eliminate this, the greatest
pest of the wheat plant In the world.
Desperate cases require heroic treat-
ment, and the fly can only be gotten
rid of by sowing no wheat for one
year, or by sowing so late that when
the fall brood hatches out there will
be nothing for them to deposit their
eggs on.
As T. W. Peter was expecting to
leave Monday May 10th. for his new
location, practically the whole town
went to his home last Saturday even-
ing to bid him Good Bye Ice cream
and cake were taken and all enjoyed
a hilarious time with music and pleas-
ant conversation until a late hour.
When departing they each gave Mr.
Peter a warm hand clasp and their
best wishes for success in his new
home. Mrs. Peter did not expect to I
lea re for several days
PRACTICE SAVING IN KITCHEN
Proper Use of “By-Products” Will Do
Much to Reduce Bills From the
Butcher.
To apply a manufacturing term to
our household materials and methods
our kitchen “by-products” should be
more carefully considered than they
often are; and by this expression is
meant waste materials. The by-pro-
ductj of meat are more often lost than
l-iose of >ther foode, and this is a great
loss, since this group of foodstuffs is
increasing In expense. Bones are chief
among them, and fat. All bones may
be quickly turned to good service by
being washed, covered with cold wa-
ter, heated gradually and made Into a
broth, which even ii small in quantity
will add flavor and some uutriment to
gravies or soups. We must learn to
use these meat flavors to help reduce
the cost of living by making gravies
and vegetables more palatable.
As to the fats, they are not always
made as full use of as is possible.
For shortening cakes, etc., for deep
frying and for soap every Mt may
be used with little additional labor.
To prepare it suet is cut in small
pieces, covered with water, allowed to
soak for a day, the water being
changed once. When drained, it is
put in a kettle with one-half cupful
skim milk to each pound of suet, and
cooked slowly until sound of boiling
has ceased. When partly cooked the
clear fat is drained from the scraps.
A combination of leaf lard or chick-
en fat with beef fat yields a softer
product. Whether sliced bacon is fried
on top of the stove or baked in a pan
in the oven, a large proportion of it
exudes in clear fat. All of this should
be saved to use for browning vege-
tables for soup or for hashed brown
potatoes or similar purposes.
LIQUOR REACHED THE SPOT
Error Made by Assistant Need Not
Have Worried the Dispenser
of Drugs.
Wallace irwin is fond of telling a
yarn about a Scotch sheep herder who
slouched into a western towrn which
had recently gone for prohibition. He
entered a drug store and, as was cus-
tomary, made a signal on the soda
counter. Now, the proprietor was out,
so the assistant, a young lad, under-
standing the Indian sign, took a bot-
tle from a shelf and helped the cus-
tomer to half a gobletful of brown
liquid. The Scotchman smacked his
lips, paid his score and went his stolid
way.
Shortly afterward the proprietor
came back and said to his assistant:
"Any business?”
"Scotchman came and tapped the
you-know on the counter,” replied the
boy, “so I gave him some." He point-
ed to the bottle of brown liquid stand-
ing alone on the shelf.
"Great heavens, child,” shrieked the
proprietor, “that ain’t whisky. That's
sulphuric acid!”
Tableau.
For two weeks the druggist lived
the life of a hunted man. He dis-
charged his helper, made his will,
contemplated suicide and spent real
money advertising for the widow of
the unfortunate customer whom his
carelessness had sent to an agonizing
death. Just as he was about to sur-
render to despair he was suddenly re-
lieved by beholding the same Scotch
sheep herder, healthy and matter-of-
fact, shuffle into his drug store, step
to the counter, beckon mysteriously,
and whisper:
“Losh, laddie. Ye maun gie me a
wee nippie. And mind ye pour it out
o’ the same bottle. It’s a wee bit
strong, but it puts heart in a mon!"
