President-Elect
It was a Republican tidal wave that swept the country last Tuesday, when the voters expressed their choice at the ballot boxes. Only 266 electoral votes are necessary to elect but 379 electors pledged to vote for Calvin A. Cootidge for President, and Charles G. Dawes, vice president have been elected. Montana, Nevada New Mexico, North Dakota are reported to be in doubt with a possibility that some of them will eventually land in the Cootidge column. Senator La Follette succeeded in carrying on his own State, Wisconsin. The next Congress will be Republican with an increase of 7 over its present Republican majority.
TWO REPUBLICAN INSURGENTS
DEFEATED
Senaor Smith W. Brookhart, of Iowa and Senator Mangus L. Johnson, of Minnesota, Republican insurgents were defeated for reelection. It is reported that Secretary to the President, C. Bascom Slemp will retire. Hon. George C. Pearcy, Democrat from the Ninth Congressional Disrict was reelected. New York State elected every Republican candidate but Col. Theodore Roosevelt son of the late President. He carried New York State, outside of the city of New York by a plurality of about 350,000, but Tammany rolled up a plurality in New York city of over 500,000 and the up state vote was swamped.
TRADING VOTES.
This was evidently the result of trading on the part of disgruntled Democras, and the admirers of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. They agreed to vote for Coolidge and scratch Davis, if the Republicans would vote for Governor Smith and scratch Roosevelt. The New York Senate and Legislature are Republican. President Coolidge carried Arizona California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Mr. Bryan's home State, Newampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dako'a, Utah, Vermont Washington, West Virginia, Mr.
Davis' home State, and Wyoming.
DISGRUNTLED DEMOCRATS.
Hon. John W. Davis secured 139 electoral votes, Senator Robert M. La Follette secured 13 electoral votes. Virginia went Democratic as usual, but with a light vote polled. Democrats opposed to the Democratic nominees, especially to Mr. Bryan, contented themselves by staying at home. Some ten thousand in Richmond alone took this method of expressing their disapproval. The unofficial returns here give Davis 9,904 Coolidge 2,600 and La Follette 909.
A WOMAN GOVERNOR.
Texas elected Mrs Miriam A. Ferguson, Governor. This was a rebuke for the treatment of her husband, who was impeached and declared to be ineigible to hold the office. He went into the campaign using the name of his wife as a candidate and will by this method again be Governor and occupy the Executive Mansion of the Long Star State. A woman was elected to Congress in New Jersey on the Democratic ticket.
MRS. CALLAHAM HERE
On Thursday night, the 30th ult. the home of Mrs. M. V. Binga, on Decatur street presented a lovely scene. The occasion was a reception given in honor of Mrs. Lillie Moon Callaham, of Montgomery, Ala. Mrs. Callaham had been traveling extensively through the North visiting her relations and friends and was now the guest of honor among her relatives and friends in Old Manchester, her home town. Many complimentary speeches were made and a beautiful candelabrum was presented to the disinguished visitor by Mrs. Annie E. Blackwell. Mrs. Callaham responded in well chosen language. Refreshments were served and the usual chit-chat was inudged in until quite late, when all left for their respective homes wishing the visitor a pleasant trip and a long and happy life.

TOURIST ACCEPTS CHRIST AT
BRIST BAPTIST, SOUTHSIDE.
On Monday night while a white tourist was passing through the Southside by way of Decatur street he passed the First Baptist Church. The pastor, Dr. W. L. Ransome was conducting revival services. A soul stirring hymn was being sung, which touched the heart of the moorist. He stopped his car and went in, taking a seat in the gallery. The passor asked the usual question. "Is there any one who wants to be saved?" A strange voice cried aloud from the gallery, "I want to be saved."
"Come on down to the anxious
good" said the pastor.

The s'range tourist bowed his head and after many songs and prayers, he confessed religion and went about the congregation shaking glad hands and telling "what a joy o'er his soul like sea bells roll, since Jesus came into his heart." There was great rejoicing. —Cog
3RD ST. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH
Dn. Hatcher returned last week from Philadelphia and filled his pulpita to the delight of us all last Sun day. Hia subject at 11 A. M. was "The Dynamic of Type," John 20:25. This was a great message and the Finance Committee wants that sermon published.
At night, Mr. F. H. G. How of South Africa preached a most heart touching sermon from John 14:6. We had two accessions, one restoration, and three persons bawled at our altar in prayer and thanksgiving. The offering for the week including the offering made to Rev. Gow and the $27,00 received by Miss Sophia John in her in apron social was over $220.00.

BIBLE CLASS ORGANIZED!
Rev. Dr. W. L. Ransome, pastor of the First Baptist Church, has filled a long felt want on the Southside, in that he organized the Men's Bible Class last Sunday evening. Many men were present and after a short and appreciative sermon, song services were held and enjoyed by all. The officers were elected. The class will hold its first meeting Wednesday evening. November 12, from 7 to 8, at the First Baptist Church and every man on the South side is invited to join. —Cog
NIGHT RIDERS DESTROY HOMES AND BLOW UP BARNS
GLASGOW, KY., Nov. 5—(P. N. S..) Nocturnal raiders attacked the homes of three Barren county tobacco co growers, last Wednesday night, firing several hundred shots into the houses and dynamiting tobacco bars belonging to the man whose homes they attacked.
Some 200 shots were fired into the home of Parlin Clark. A tobacco barn containing a five-acre leaf crop the property of Jesse Crenshaw, a race man, was dynamited and the man's home attacked.
The Crenshaw home was badly riddled with bullets, county officials report. It is said that between 20 and 25 raiders appeared in the night about 3 A.M. and began firing without warning. Members of the family escaped injury and possible death by taking refuge in a back room. All the front windows were shot out and the furniture in the front room was ruined by bullets. Crenshaw's son fled from his bed just before the raiders riddled it with bullets.

MINISTRY IN RACE
CHURCHES
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6—(P. N. S.)—President J. Stanley Durke, of Howard University, in an address before the eighth annual convoitation of the school of religion, declared it must be made difficult for ignorant, idle men, gifted with mere gab, to hold and establish little church organizations in small, poorly ventilated rooms.
He pointed out, that among the definite achievements of the convoitation was the stressing of the importance of a program for the development of an intelligent ministry among colored people.
Dr. Sterling N. Brown deplored the sad fact that so few college trained colored men entered the ministry. Other speakers brought out an idea to the effect that the Negro's spiritual leadership must be placed in the hands of an intelligent ministry before racial progress can be made. According to figures submitted it was stated that there is one clergyman for every 565 Negroes, while among the whites there is one for every 815 of their population.

The well-known local Hardy Brothers Orchestra made a decided hit in Richmond last Monday night at their special feature dance. This group of harmonisers, under the management of Mr. C. Hardy, is making a good impression by their harmony and unison of play and the public should look forward to their next affair with expectancy.

ATTENTION to the present of a deer is it much like making a rabbit stew. Remember like the famous recipe? first catch your rabbit!! The U. S. Forestry Service has hired to give away deer to anyone during them. If you have to do is catch the deer and have it shipped to your home.
Try and do it.
Try and do.
The deer are now making their residence in Kabab National Forest, Arizona, just north of Grand Canyon. The forest covers one and a quarter million acres. Catching an energetic piece of venison on-the-hook in this area is just about as easy as sluthing kick in a glass of near beer. After catching your deer, all you have to do is have it boxed up and shipped over 165 miles of rough trail to the nearest rail point.
WELL-EARNED
Then all that remains is to pay express charges the rest of the way. By the time the deer arrives in its new parking place it is a very well-earned animal.
But despite all this, requests for free deer are pouring in to the Washington office of Will C. Barnes, forester in charge of grazing.
Some of these requests are from zooical gardens, some are from municipal parks, some are from hotels and restaurants desirous of raising the animals for venison, and some are from people who want them for pets.
"The idea of having a deer for a pet isn't quite as good as it sounds," said Barnes. "A deer—especially

That's why we have to give them away. There are too many for the country to support. Hundreds of them are starving to death.
"Right now, while they are wandering around in the forest, it is virtually impossible to catch them. But when it snows they will come down into the valley, and then we'll get them in trap corals.
"These corals have one-way gates. The water and water in them, and the deer push right in. Once inside, they have to stay. The gates won't open out."

SEGREGATION BEFORE SUPREME COURT SOON
James A. Cobb, of Washington, on counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, announced at the Association's offices, that the United States Supreme Court would probably hear argument next April in the case involving residential segregation of white and colored people in the City of Washington. D. C., and that a number of other cases are being held to await the outcome of the case now pending the Supreme Court.
Mr. Cobb also announced that he would be joined in argument before the Supreme Court by Moorfield Storey, former President of the American Bar Association, now President of the Advancement Association; by Louis Marshall, counsel for Leo Frank and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association; by Henry E. Davis, former U. S. Attorney for the district of Columbia; by Messrs. Arthur B. Spingarn and Herbert K. Stockton of New York and by William H. Lewis, former Assistant U. S. Attorney General, of Boston.
"The case to come before the Supreme Court, on appeal from the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia," said Mr. Cobb, "is that of Mrs. Helen Curtis, enjoined from taking possession of property she had bought, on the ground that sale to a coated woman violated the terms of a property owners' agreement.
"The residential rights of all minority groups in America will depend upon the decision rendered in this case. Already there has been an attempt: to segregate Jews in Memphis. Similar attempts may be made against Catholics, Japanese and Chinese.
"In Washington a group of white citizens in the Bloomingdale's residential section have organized a committee to fight for this resolution, segregation against New York and at the congressional meeting on October 24, collected a sum reported to be in excess of $1,000 for the prosecution of this and similar cases.
"As illustrating the intense interest displayed in this litigation throughout the United States, I may cite a recent case before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Rose E. Johnson et al. with Ellen Marie Robicheau, et al., in which the property owners were penalized $2,000 for each of two lots sold to colored people, the penalty being stipulated in a property owners' agreement.
"The ovion delivered by Justice Hoehling, sustains the imposition of the penalty, and cites as his precedent, the decision in the Helen Curtis case by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, which has now been appealed to the Supreme Court. However, in view of impending argument before the United States Supreme Court on the prior case Justice Hoehling has withheld his decree in order to await the Supreme Court verdict.
"The question of residential segregation by city ordinance was decided in 1917, in the so-called Louisville Case, where the Supreme Court ruled that such segregation was unconstitutional". Segregation by agreement among property owners now remains to be disposed of, and the eyes of lawyers and of property owners throughout the country are directed toward the case now pending. It is a case that cannot fall profoundly to affect the future of race relations in the United States. The importance of this case is attested by the names of such eminent lawyers as Messrs. Louis Marshall, Moor field Sorey, William H. Lewis, Henry E. Davis, Arthur B. Spingarn Herbert K. Stockton, who are associate counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People."

A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waiting thirty years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden.
Thirteen years ago twelve leading physician of my city treated me for kidney trouble and brought the desired benefit. These doctors were the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to fire being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity.

but we all can strive to get there.
WE THANK our friends who have been remembering their obligations and who have been sending in amounts due us.
THE KNOWLEDGE that you are doing right offsets the stigma of:some people, who believe that you are doing wrong.
MANHOOD RIGHTS can only be secured by contending for them in season and out of season, but always with that deferential respect, which urmsis consideration.
THERE IS NO use being "down in the mouth" over defeat in an election or too highly elated over success. Try resting on middle ground.
DESPITE the handicaps and embarrassments, colored folks, continue to be poite and obliging to the white folks and you must necessarily be the same way to all other people, including those of your own race and color.
THE RESULT.
THE ELECTION of Hon. Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts as President and Hon. Charles G. Dawes, of Ilinois, as VicePresident concludes one of the most stubbornly fought political contests ever waged in this country. It commits the candidates to a government of common sense, as stated by Mr. Coolidge and to common honesty as announced by Mr. Davis, for common honesty is based on common sense and common sense on common honesty.
The election of the Republican ticket came as no surprise to those who have carefully watched past events. The Democratic National Convention left breaches in the ranks of the Democratic Party that could not be repaired within five years, much less within five months. It was attempted to appease the fighting elements that Hon. John W. Davis, an ideal American citizen was nominated. He ranks with the ablest diplomat of this or any other country and as a statesman, he has few peers and no superiors.
In naming him, it was necessary to name a radical from the other side and Hon. Charles W. Bryan, a leader of spoilous character, but a man of uncertain proclivities when it came to the recognition of the socialist and communistic ideas as advocated by some of the revolutionary leaders in this country, who would undermine and change the Constitution of the Fathers as handed down to us. This led practically to a cry among Mr. Davis' friends as they turned to the Republican ticket, "Not that we love John W. Davis less but we hate Charles W. Bryan more."
The result is now cold in the election returns and the indications are that the contending Democratic clans are now marshalling for another battle among themselves in 1928. It will be a contest between the cohors of Hon. William G. McAdoo, the favorite of the Ku Klux Klan organization and the followers of Hon. "Al" Smith of New York' who has just achieved a most remarkable victory in his own State. It looks very much as though the scenes so graphically enacted in the Democratic National Convention this year will be duplicated in that same body four years hence.
ROANOKE ITEMS.
ROANOKE, V.A., November 4. 4. Mrs. Victoria Bell, 314 Seventh Avenue, N. W. has returned from Phil adelphia, where she spent a very pleasant time with sisters, daughters and friends. Rev. Williams, exp pastor of St. Paul's Memorial M. E. Church will conduct revival services here from November 9th through the 23rd. All are invited to attend these services. Rev. W. W. Hicks, pastor of Mt Zion Baptist Church left the city last Monday for a visit to Bedford and Richmond.
Rev. W. R. Howerton, D. D, of M. Zion A. M. E. Church spoke to his hearers Sunday morning from St John 1:39, "Come and See." This love is still ringing down the ages to inquiring souls for Jesus.

NEGROES ARE MAKING PROGRESS IN U. S. A.
(Preston News Service)
Negroes in the United States are making excellent progress along all right lines and deserve the commendation of their white friends and fellow citizens for advancing, as a race. The National Negro Business League, with headquarters in Chicago, has more or less recently compiled some figures which are interesting. They show that throughout this country the Negroes are advancing in education, in business and the professions. It shows that they have become inculcated with the desire to learn and to excel in various lines of industry and endeavor, and they are steadily adding to their general knowledge and desire for efficiency.
It was shown in the statistical information given out that along economic lines the Negroes of the country have acquired 600,000 homes, which is understood to be an increase of 270,000 in the last 25 years. They are said to operate a million farms, which is nearly 25 per cent. increase in the period mentioned and conduct business enterprises to the number of 65,000, a gain of 55,000. The aggregate wealth of the Negroes of the country placed at $1,700,000,000. This latter figure is indicative of an increase of more than a billion in the last quarter of a century.
It is claimed in the Chicago reports that 80 per cent. of the Negroes in the United States can read and write, and this is a remarkable stride forward—a 24 per cent. advance in the time considered. There are 2,000,000 Negro children in the public schools—and this fact should be emphasized for the benefits of those who pretend to think that the Negro is not well treated or given fair chance in the South.
The schools of the South where the majority of Negroes dwell, are very largely maintained at the expense of the white people. To give an idea of the proportion of the burden borne by the Negroes themselves, it is stated, in the same report that "Negroes raised for the education of their race about $2,000,000 in 1924—which was double the amount raised by them in 1900." The total amount expended for their education is given as $32,000,000, with school property for higher education, valued at $30,000,000.
Marked religious progress has been noted by the compilers of the report for the Negro Business League. It is shown that, they have 45,000 churches with 4,800,1000 members and 2,250,050 pupils in the Sunday Schools. Church property is valued at $90,000,000, which is an increase of 50 per cent, for the period. In the professions, the Negroes now claim a great increase, with more than 2,000 Negro actors, 50 architects, 259 artists, sculptors and teachers of art, 315 authors, 19,671 ministers of the gospel, 207 chemists, 1033 college presidents and professors, 1,109 dentists, 946 lawyers, 3,752 musicians and teachers of music, 507 photographers, 3,430 physicians and surgeons, 184 technical engineers, 3,341 trained nurses, of whom 3,199 are women, 31,352 barbers, hairdressers and manicurists.
It is important to find that a progress of the Negro is not confined to any section of the country, but is generally distributed. In the North and East they are showing more interest in some departments of industry than other things and in the South they are adding to the list of farmers. Everywhere they are coming to appreciate the value of education and are going forward along desirable lines. The South is pleased to find the Negro advancing towards good citizenship, and will as always continue to give him fair and even generous treatment.

Saint Paul Tiger:, 15-3
Sem. Out of Gellar, Wins First @. I. A. A. Game.
‘The St. Paul Tigers, smarting

T. came on the field a dangerous
‘Tiger to meet. Fully devermined to
continue har annual defeat of the
Dragons. The Tigers were baffled,
bu: fought hard to stem the relent
lass rushes of the Seminary Dragons
for they were a more determined
punch to change their fosing streak
‘ang fought like demons.
‘Seminary has lost two Association
games but crities say they outplayed
both conquerors, especially did they
make eight firs’ downs against Lin-
eoln while Lincoln was making one
against her. The Preachers had
seen a vision from above and like
men inspired, they fought in the face
of odds. with Whidbee and Williams

Five hundred eager-eyed, hopeful
students looked on and received their
full quo%a of football thrills; cheers
echoed and reechoed across the
large field, for they saw Watson on
the fourth down nai! Walker on the
goal line and save tho day for Sem-
inary. St. Paul took defeat in glory
and jeft the name of Walker, its
plunging back, emblazoned on the
football roll in Seminary archives.
Walker was ¢he planet for the
‘Tigers, white Byrd, Tyler, Pierde
were lesser satellites. Seminary stars
were many; Watson and Scott
yeemed to outstand. Scott was a
demon on the defensive and twice
got his man behind two interferers.
Scott, also was the big offensive gun
scoring the two touchdowns. Wat-
son was here and there and evury:
where. Whidbee continuad his pro-
gress Coward an AllAmerican quar:
terback, though injured and hardly
able to walk, ha drove his team to
victory. Lanier, Captain, threw one
of the passes’ netting a touchdown
and also was consistent ground-
gainer with ‘Bumble’ Brown who
substituted for Whidbee.
TRUTH ON THE GAME.
Seminary made 9 first down!
St Paul 9; ‘Seminary gained 138
yards rushing and 92 yards on pass

Sallie is a modern, pretty young creature, with all the emotions and desires you yourself had when you were a that glorious age that lies somewhere between sixteen and twenty-five. Sallie is everywhere. The eyes of the world are upon the ultimate outcome of her moral code. Is she going to weaken her creed of right and wrong and stretch her philosophy to that of the girls who have a "good" time?
Your little girl is just where Sallie is. She must decide for herself. They are all Sallie's at hear! Sallie's experience, put down truthfully from the pages of her life, may help your Sallie's. Each chapter is complete in itself. Read it this week. You will enjoy it—Editor.

"Your father needs you. Sallie he is—shall I be perfectly frank with you?"
I nodded dumbly.
"Well, he is a very sick man," and noticing my puzzled look, he hurried to explain. "At first he wouldn't let us tell you because he didn't want you to fret about him while you were having a good time. But now he wants you and calls constantly for 'his little girl'."
Like a flash the thing he had just told me was picturing itself on my brain. Father lying there—ill needing me and wanting me, for I knew the depth of his love, and yet torn between his fine, unselfish spirit and his human longing for me at his side.
"Let's leave NOW. On the first train." I leaped to my feet. He glanced at his watch in the somber room.
"There is a train in one hour and a half. We can make it. Don't hurry; you have enough time That is, unless—I hadn't thought of it, but he stammered—'perhaps you neither go alone.'"
had said,
"No, no," I was quick to reply.
"Please don't leave me. I couldn't
bear being alone." My voice quavered.
"Tell me that I can count on
YOU." I hegged.
"You most assuredly can," he awed. "It was just that I did not want to intrude. Slipping around through a side door, I went unnoticed to my room and sent a maid for Ellie, to whom I explained. In the meantime I threw a few important things in my bag. "Cheer up, if you can, Sallie," suggested my hostess. "You'll come through with flying colors. You always do. You were born like that. You are one of those few chosen ones on whom the Great Sculptor has smiled." That was like Ellie. She was a butterfly, but her heart was as big as the great out-of-doors. "And remember, Sport," she added, "we're all behind you. The entire gang."
Just at that moment the notes of "Chop Sticks," rendered by two of my exuberant friends, was waffled in through the doorway in a wave of blatant sound. Some others, seeking self-expression had conceived the idea of turning on the Vicrola at the same time and had probably chosen the first record as hand. "Yes we have no bee-nas" vied with the "dum-dum-dum-dum" of the piano crowd.
My nerves were on edge.
"Ellie," I exclaimed, "tell them for goodness sake to be quiet or I'll scream!"
She sped swiftly down the hall and I could hear her calling at the top of the stair:
"Turn off the Jazz down there. Sallie's just had a message from her dad. He's ill, Dye hear?"
"Aw, wassa matter with the old man?" a harsh voice replied. "Trying to ruin Sallie's good time. Tell her not to worry. I'll mix her a lavvy highball if she'll come on down." A door closed.
I could hear one of the girls trying to stop him, but it was too late. I threw myself on the bed, tears streaming down my face. Ellie, returning, saw that I had heard the flasco on the stairs.
"I'm sorry, Sallie," she comforted, "it's just that they don't understand."
"And don't want to!" I flung at her. "Fairweather friends—that's what they are. It didn't make any difference to them if my Dad was DEAD." I wined at the word. "All they want is a good sport to amuse them and then when a fellow gets in trouble they aren't willing to leave their playtime. I tell you Ellie it's a rotten shame and I am pretty much disgrassed with them all."
"Now, now, Sallie, don't take it so seriously." She patted my shoulder. "They didn't think your father was really ill. Maybe if you had been in their place you would have done the same thing." She rallied to their defense. "Remember," she went on. "the time when Bob Wilson was killed in his car, on your house party at Atlantic Beach. When they brought the news back to the cottage, nobody believed it." Remembering, I covered my face with my hand.
"I can see you now," she continued, "and the picture is vividly clear. Remember, Sallie, what you said with that funny little twinkle in your eye, 'Bob ougher change his brand!' she whispered.
"Oh, but Ellie, that was different I didn't know, I didn't. I wailed. "Neither did they, Sallie," she declared, "It's hard for us to take in tragedy especially at a glance. She closed the subject, but I shall never forget her little talk.
Poem
by
Uncle John
Accordin' to my notion now,
it ain't the time to mourn—when
the hills is dressed for Autumn,
and the frost is on the corn.
when we view the ripened apples
with their cheeks of ruby-red,
drinkin' sweet November sunshine
from the glorious overhead.
No—it ain't no time for
weepin' at the knell of summer
days, when the heart should be
rajoftain' in its thawthouses and
palms. Let me tune my lyre to
emphasize the glory of the land,
with the music set before me,
that a child can understand.
Let the wings of glad October fan the love-flame in the wind, as she wields the vital process that a feller can't control. If it weren't fer blessed ripeness, in the vineyard, sheaf and ear, you would see some hungry figerhn as to where we'd go from here. All hall, serena November, when the pantry and the pin keeps a preachin' agar sermons on the goodies stored within. All hall the peace-amplenly with a thousand tints embossed, as we banish every shadder with the smiles we put acrost!

THRIFTY TIPS FOR THE HOME
ENAMBL WOODWORK: Enamel woodwork can be kept clean very easily in the kitchen by having a damp cloth handy and after dish-washing each day wipe all the small spots around drawers, cupboards and doors. If you have wooden handles which soil easily, replace them with glass ones.
ELECTRIC BULBS: Before purchasing electric bulbs that are offered at exceptionally low prices, the housewife should ask whether or not they are reflamed, as a new bulb is worth the difference in price, because it will last longer and gives a much better light.
TABLE: If you have a very small kitchen, with not enough space for a table, a shelf that turns down under a window is more convenient. It may be used for eating breakfast, as well as many other practical needs.
CHUCK ROAST: Chuck roast makes a very appetizing dish if the bone is removed, the meat rolled and tied with a string and then roasted. It makes a very inexpensive dinner.
BERRY JUICE: When Juice is left over from fresh or canned berries, add gelatin to it in the proportion of one level teaspoonful of gelatin to one pint of liquid. Soak the gelatin in one quartet cupful of cold juice, and then add one and three quarters cupfuls of hot Juice. Turn into a wet mould, chill, and it will be found excellent as a dessert or salad.
JARS: Jars that are to be filled with boiling fruit should be placed on about five thicknesses of a towel which has been wrung out of toepal water. This will be found much better than heating jars to be filled or placing a silver knife in them.
SALT SETS: There are many ways of bringing color into the scheme of one's table decorations, and end of the most novel effects is obtained by using salt and pepper sets made of Venetian glass in lovely shades of rose, mulberry, green, pink and red.
MILK: If you have a large quantity of milk which you wish to keep fresh for several days, scald it, pour it into sterilized bottles with sterilized stoppers, cool and keep near the ice. It will keep for several days.
IRONING BOARD COVER: A very good ironing board cover is made of felt, covered with sheeting and shaped and finished with eyelets and cords to lace it to the ironing board.

The NERVOUS WRECK by E.J.Rath
©1924 - by NEA Service Inc
BEGIN HERE TODAY
Dad Morgan stands leaning against the couch, catching the approach of two riders. They are his daughter, Sally, and an assistant, visiting the ranch to recuperate from a nervous break-down. She uses Wreck—"Wreck" for short—and a hopeless tenderfoot. Her fiance, will be unable to escort her to the train next morning. She is disappointed, the cast and "knows the ways of places far beyond the range." The ranch is a rather small one, and there is an air of idleness about it. It is a ranch taking a long and sweet street. The busy years are behind it.
**NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY**
"I ain't got any kick," mused Dad. "I got mine; enough, anyhow. Let the rest of 'em hustle. They haven't come into their rheumatism yet. Only I'm sure sorry that Sally's goin' to miss her train."
So was Saly. But, true to Dad's mental prediction, she did not say much about it, even to Bob Wells, who had ridden twenty miles to explain and would have to ride back again that night. Bob was the sheriff. He was other things besides sheriff; thunts that were much more important in a material way. He had cat of his own, and a couple of mining claims that promised, and he owned a general store at the county seat. Dad Morgan said there wasn't a more likely young hustler in all Montana than Bob Wells in Alabama. Bob took to calling on Saly. Dad felt that the future was working itself in a proper and prosperous fashion.
As nearly as Dad could figure it out, in the absence of direct information, Sally was going East to see about things for her trousseau. Anyhow, the sheriff was to be certain enough about it, and Sally made no denial. She had known Bob Wells since she first rode her own pony, as a little wild thing raised on the Bar M. and she did not encounter any ruse in the idea of marrying him.
"I reckon," said Dad, as he glanced up from his supper, "that Bob's got more to lose by your missin' that rain than maybe anybody else around these parts"
The sheriff winked as he reached on the coffee pot and helped himself to another cup. He was a large, healthy and well-pleased young man, with a slightly boisterous air, even moments of repose.
Ma Morgan nodded, but made no comment. Ma was never very talky, ever ordained, she contented herself with the contrary nods, the opinions and conclusions of others usually being sufficient for her.
If it wasn't for the fact that sheered be no way of getting the horse back I'd ride over alone," said rally.
No chance." declared the sheriff "Pooh! Why not? Why. Bob, I've come it! I rode as far as the railroad last summer and I know every inch of the trail. And it's only about the miles. Well I wouldn't let you ride me. Besides, there'll have to be a horse to take your grips. You can't manage everything. Sally." Sally thought she could, and she felt a faint resentment at the contrary implication. But she had no intention of arguing it with Bob, he was always positive about things. Did you want to go to the railroad "horrow."
On the Wreck speaking. All though supper he had been eating a silent voraciousness that and Dad Morgan to wonder if we have any nerves in the stom-

Mr. Cole has tried a new stunt in his puzzle; he used words that depend upon each other; for instance, his number 20, horizontal, has a direct relation to question 19.

"Why, I'd planned to go," said Sally. "but it seems we can make it." "Certainly we can make it," declared the Wreck, with sudden asperity in his voice. "Why not? I'll take you." The sheriff laid down his knife and stared at the Wreck never failed to murder him, but this was their third meeting. So the Wreck would take her to the trun, would he? The sheriff glanced at Dad and grinned. "On a horse?" he inquired. "In a machine," answered the Wreck, shortly. "Oh-h-h!" It was spoken with gusty good nature, but it carried a volume of scorn. So the Wreck thought, at any rate, for he glared through his rimmed glasses and pushed his plate back. He to drive you over in the machine!" he demanded, switching his glance to Sally. He flung it out as a sort of sweeping challenge that included Ma.
"Why, it would be lovely," said Sally. "His sheriff took plenty of time to attend. He rather expected Dad to join, but Dad merely remained quizzed."

val. Ma and Sally were watching the Wreck.
Yes, it sure would be lovely," said he sheriff, easing down for speech. "Going to put a fluffer over the trail, h? What are you fleeting to do? Run her on two wheels"
The Wreck made an irritable movement of his shoulders and ignored him. He was still looking at Sally. "Isn't there a road" he asked.
It's a road part of the way," said sally. "A good part of the way. Yes, it is Bob: you can drive a wagon over it"
"And what do you do when you come to the mountain?" inquired the sheriff smiling. "I haven't noticed any road, there yet."
"But it connects up with some other road before you get that far: I'm certain of it." Sally was getting interested "And the other road must go somewhere. There were some people from the north who came through in a car only last spring."
"Well, it's a long, roundabout road, even if you located it," said the sheriff "I know the people you mean. They had a car."
Still the Wreck ignored him.
"Is it country like this around here? he demanded. "All open and plain sailing."
"They were plenty of open country," answered Sally, with a faint smile. The Wreck amused Sally, just as he did the sheriff. But she found something more than amusement in him. There were times when his assurance fairly started her. Besides, she still liked the idea of making her train.

"Road part way and open cou
the rest of the way," observed
Wreck. "Anything the matter with,
that? You don't hear me yelling?"
"I'll hear you yelling if you try to make it in a fliver," remarked the sheriff, and he coupled another laugh with it.
Sally was musing over it, and found the idea slightly exciting.
"Bob, I don't see any reason why it can't be done," she said, slowly. "And if we had to turn back, why there's no harm, anyhow."
"Turn back!" echoed the Wreck. "What for? You want to catch a train, don't you? Well, when I start catching trulls, I catch 'em. Want to go."
"Why, I—"
Sally looked at the sheriff. He shook his head authoritatively.
"Can't be done, Sally. I know what I'm talking about. And besides—"
He paused to observe the Wreck, who had pushed his chair back from the table and risen. Sally nibbled at her lip; there were times when she wished Bob would not be so sweepingly authoritative.
"Any time tomorrow that you're ready, I'm ready," said the Wreck, regarding her with a stare that was almost belligerent. "And anybody who tells you it can't be done is suffering from arrested mental development."
He limped out of the room, but there was something absurdly aggressive in his gait. Dad Morgan and his back appraisal and then booked at the sheriff.
"Wreck's kind of saddle sore," he observed, mildly, "but he certainly keeps chipper."
"He's a nut," said the sheriff. "He can't do it in a million years." "But he might, Bob," Sally had a look in her eye that boded a desire for discussion. "What's, In a filver?"
"What? in a river?
"I've heard," said Dad Morgan—
"not that I've got personal experience—but I've heard that folks can go 'most anywhere in them things,
except in society."
CHAPTER II
THE ranch buildings were miles back of them, how many, Sally could not exactly tell, for there was no speedometer on the fliver. But they were fifteen miles from the ranch, at least, and the railroad was still more miles to the north. By the trail which wound high along the eastern flank of Black Top it was about twenty miles, as nearly as Sally could figure. They could not follow the high trail, of course, some where a road branched, which they must take, and Sally was intent on watching for the road.
It was an old sensation, bumping over the trail on wheels. It helped her to forget that there had been words with the sheriff the night before, just as he was saddling to ride back to his job at Fisher
Once she remarked the fact to him that it was a pretty bad trail, after he had navigated a detour that carried them around a boulder. "Bad trail?" he echoed, almost sharply. "You don't call this bad. do you? I call it a boulevard." He was obsessed with a resolve to make the task so childishly simple that the sheriff would eat his words and be overwhelmed with mortification.
The Wreck's name was Henry Williams, and he belonged considerably farther east than Sally had ever been; as far as Pittsburg, in fact. His coming to the Bar-M had been without specific premeditation; it was merely an incident, it appeared, in a great plan. They first sighted him in the middle of a forenoon, two weeks back, coming furiously up the coule, with a radiator that boiled like Old Faithful and a carbon knock that sounded like the crack of doom. He brought the thing to a stop in the dooryard, introduced himself, asked for water, tarried for lunch, tinkered with the car, stayed for supper, and then kept on staying.

Few people who meet this beautiful girl know how she obtained the gloriously lovely hair that now makes her admired by all who see her.
She says it was Exelento Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxuriant. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen.
