' K at the N. E. corner of
< n last Wednesday night July 21,
all Bastrop felt the pain of sorrow
When It was announced that Mrs.
Julia Pricilla Batts was dead. She
was 82 years old. Mrs. Batts was
born in Green County, Alabama on
June IK, 1kx.| and came to Texas with
her parents in December 1845. Her
childhood was spent in Burnet County
Austin and finally settled in Bastrop
She married Andrew Jackson Batts
July 5. 1800 and they established then
the home the family still possesses.
There were born to them the follow-
ing children: Charles Andrew Batts,
who died April 21. 1872. Robert Lynn
R..Its of Austin, Ella Batts, now
Me-. II N\ Bell. Julia Martha Batts,
Who (lied July 7, l! 2"> Hubert Batts.
who died in Infancy, Edward Lee
Batts of San Angelo, and Vivian
Batts, now Mrs. Gus Wallace.
Funeral services were held from
the family rc idence Thursday after-
noon at 5:30 o'clock, the Rov. R F.
Curl officiating.
Mrs. Batts was one of the pioneer
women of this state who came here at
a time when hardship and privation
were the principal factor* of cx-
istance. Through the years that fol-
lowed her coming, her career was
marked with sacrifices, benefactions
that made her worthyness a para-
mount issue as a gl .winir tribute to th(.
womanhood of this State and Nation.
Her activities in Church circles was
an emblem of the faith and fidelty of
her supreme faith in the construction
< t religious principles. Her passing
is marked with tears of sorrow regret
and joy from all who knew her; tear"
that flow when a loved one passes
away; tears of regret for the loss of
her companionship, tears of joy that
she can meet her maker with the
steadfast gaze of one who can say,
"I have come at your bidding,", and
this coming has been after she had
devoted her life to doing the things
that God loves best, which in all em-
bodies service.
She had felt the pan^s of sorrow
during life in which death entered
hor home on several occassions taking
away children and husband But her
faith remained firm and as in bene-
cvtion slv was ble :-i I with two sons.
Judge It. L. Batts of Austin wh< ■ ■
fame as an attorney and Lawyer,
in which he made r <■ rd- t'> •
spread over the nation for thi ir iir
nifance. nestled deep in the heart
of the mother who smiled the gl. •
of pride nt his success; Dr.
Edward Butt.- of San Aium'Io
who has made an enviatde record in
his ministrations to the sick, also
brought the ser nety and devotion
her heart. Two daughters, Mrs. 1L
V Bell 11nI Mr- Go- Wallace were
the close companii n that kept her
b art glad and lightened the burden
of care from her shoulders. A de-
voted mother; a true patriot to th<
Nation: a Christian woman is dead
How those who loved her l><-t will
miss her; it is finished; His will be
dene.

our sincerest sympathies to the l>e-
reaved family. In an hour like this
little can be said. We can only grieve
with them in sacred silence.

MOON DOES NOT CAUSE W ET
OR DR\ WEATHER
One of the commonest and likewise
one of the most unreasonable weather
superstitions, says the Weather
Bureau of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, is the belief
that if the horns of the new crecent
moon tip downward, it is a "wet"
moon, p rtending rain.
Tin position of the lunar crescent
depends upon the angle that the
moon path makes with the horizon,
and on any given date tt is always
the same in places having the same
latitude. If this weather sign wore
trustworthy the same kind of weath-
er, either dry or rainy, would prevail
on any given date throughout a belt
of latitude extending entirely around
the globe. Of course there is no such
uniformity of weather in relation to
latitude. In the temperate zones,
while the weather travels from west
to east, the greatest contrast'- of wet
and dry weather conditions are likely
to l>e found alo.ig parallels of latitude
rather than mcridans of longitude.
Near the Equator the position of
the young moon never makes an angle
of more than 30 with the horizon,
and it is generally in an even more
nearly horizontal position, so that
in a part of the world notorious for
is, according to the proverb, always
a "dry" one. The final absurdity is
the ease of the crescent moon as seen
from the north and south poles, where
it is always what the proverb de„
BcriU-sas "wet", for at those places
the line joining the tips of the cres-
cent always makes an angle of less
than 2"i to the vertical; yet the polar
regions arc characterized by so little
precipitation in the form of rnin and
snow and they rank among the arid
regions of the gloln*.

Can you improve
good cooking
by the use
of ICE?
The answer is: You certain-
ly can. I^verv experienced
chef knows that much of his
success depends in the manner
he keeps his food lief ore it is
cooked.
And he knows the only way
this can be done is by proper
refrigeration — By keeping
food at all times in a well-iced
refrigerator.
The safe plan is to ice regu-
larly, all the year around. You
will find ICE pays for itself
by the food it saves.

Giving The Finishing Touch

SPRINT, days are apt to bring
capricious appetites. We have
a tendency, then, to turn with
distaste from plain foods, plainly
served. The palate must be tempted
through the eye. By using foods
which have already been prepared
and cocked, and dressing them up
in attractive ways, the bu*y modern
housewife finds time to give that
"finishing touch" which lifts ordin-
ary food above the commonplace.
Canned foods may be used as the
foundation of many delicious dishes.
They require very little time and
work, because all the preliminaries
have been attended to in the can-
nery. Grandmother had all this
"rough work" to do, herself Con-
sequently she spent her life in the
kitchen. *
The 1926 housewife, after prepar-
ing various dainty dishes fr-m
ready-to-serve foods, has time left
over in which to set an attractive
table She need not even bother
to make a dessert, since she has
only to take a rich and delicious
fruit-cake out of a tin box, and
serve it with after-dinner coffee.
And it tastes just as good in sum-
mer as in winter.
Here are some tasty dishes quick-
ly made from rr.nn d foods:—
Shrimps Baked with Tomatoes-
Fill a buttered baking-dish with al-
tcrnate layers of canned shrimps,
drained canned tomatoes, and crack-
er crumbs. Sevson tomatoes witlr
salt, pepper, and a little sugar Dot
crumbs with butter. Brown in mod-
erately hot oven. This dish may
be flavored with minced parsley or
celery, and a little onion-juice.
Kidney Bean Salad — With ot «
niedium-siie can of kidney beans
mix one-half the contents of a
No. 2' / size can of sauerkraut, (lav-
ing the rest to use as a vegetable
nt some other meal). Add yi cup
salad dressing. Garnish with olives
sr.d parsley. t
