The News wishes to call the in-
quirer’s attention to C. C. Davi;
and R. J. Marak, City Commissioners
and also splendid picnicers who gave
some of their energy to help make
the picnic the success it was.
C. C. Davis has made a success of
the West Cotton Oil Mill, and has
also helped keep the municiple wheels
turning.
Hon. R. J. Marak keeps his shoul-
der to the wheel too and also makes
a success of the realty business in
the city, so a little thing like pulling
off a picnic does not worry him.

The News found one day recently,
a thermometer stuck down behind a
type case, and at once had it given a
vantage position in a door way, that
the editor might have some first hand
weather dope. The daily weather re-
ports as found in the press does not
always line up with the News editor’s
belief about the heat, as deducted
from personal feelings in the matter,
while seated day after day in the of-
fice, or taking exercise in calling on
the advertisers. The editor’s plan
when hanging up the thermometer,
was to give a daily weather report
as gathered from the editor’s own
“vine and fig tree,” hut alas for the
intentions. Running after the wary
advertiser, and writing the home
town news, has kept the editor so
busy, the thermometer has been for-
gotten, and press day, press hour, is
at hand. A head line in a paper lying
on the editor,s desk, says “cool now
to what it once was’’ so we will let it
go at that, and hope the “once was”
will continue to remain a “has been.”

MADELINE
D IBLE history is responsible for
LA origin of Madeline. The only pos-
sible source of the name is the New
Testament story of the tragic figure,
Mary Magdalen. Magdalen, it seems,
is not a surname, but merely trans-
lates Into "of Magdala," the village of
the scarlet woman’s birth, and la re-
garded as an adjective of place.
So the soft harmony of "Magdalen”
was not employed as u proper name at
that time, but history records that

Despite the story of Madeline’s ori-
gin, the poets have chosen her name
rather to portray the ahyest and most
virtuous of maidens, the typical sweet-
heart to whom young lovers write
odes. The best known poem to "Ever
Varying Madeline” runs:
Smtllns, frowning. «v«rmor»,
Thou art porfoct In lovo-lor*.
Revealing! deep and clear are thine.
Of wealthy amilea; but who may know.
Whether unite or frown be aweoter,

Madeline’s jewel is the moonstone,
that gem so potent for lovers who may
read their future in Its opalescent
depths. ' If she wears her talismanic
stone, Madeline may have her heart s
promises. The poppy Is her flower, 3

BLOCKING THE WAY
’T'HOSE apostles of laxity who can
I never find time to do anything as
it ought to be done, go crookedly
through life complaining in their semi-
serious moments that they are lagging
leagues behind their rivals and never
getting anywhere.
They admit this without any appar-
ent sense of shame or compunction of
conscience.
Sometimes to their intimates of like
Ilk, they boast of their short-comings
in a spirit of bravado.
A laziness that distinguishes them
from what they disdainfully tenn the
"common class,” to whom they will
scarcely nod a courteous good morn-
ing, seem in their minds to put them
upon a worshipful pedestal.
Dally they go about their task in
a slipshod manner, shunning respon-
sibility ns a hen avoids a pool of
water, ifverything they do Is half
done.
Careless In observing how the pro-
ficient save time and energy, and thus
make. work a pleasure instead of a
drag, these listless persons are always
in (rouble, scowling and finding fault,
even when everything about them Is
cheerful.
Their desks or bunches are contin-
ually In confusion, quite in keeping
with their unmethodical minds.
When urgently needed no paper or
tool b within sight or reach.
It Is generally hidden somewhere In
a disordered heap. I’reclous minutes
are lost while searching for the elusive
tiling, and should the task of finding
it happen to be more vexatious than
usual, some Innocent fellow-worker Is
openly charged with pilfering.
Then a storm breaks and the at-
mosphere Is surcharged with anger,
which In the customary slowness of
cooling off Is likely to leave the prin-
cipals for days and days In sulky
humors.
Fersons of this character are doomed
to fall In everything they undertake,
except In the making of quarrels and
the wrecking of friendships.
Blameful themselves, they pile their
sins 'on the blameless.
Wherever they are found there Is
turmoil, Inefficiency, disloyalty and un-
happiness, four danger signals which
block the way In every track of en-
deavor to promotion to the higher
rnnks.

SOMETHING TO EAT
TF YOU have a small amount of left-
over rice stir It into the muffin or
griddle cake batter for breakfast.
Prune Pie.
Take two cupfuls of cooked prunes,
one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-
fourth of a cupful of sugar and one
tablespoonful of butter. Soften the
prunes in water over night, stew until
soft, then remove the pits and add to
the other Ingredients. Put into a
pastry-lined plate, dot with bits of the
butter, cover with a top crust and bake
In a quick oven. Brush over the crust
with milk just before putting the pie
!n the oven. This will give a rich
brown crust when baked.
Chocolate Macaroon*.
Melt two squares of chocolate, mix
with one can of condensed milk. Add
one-half pound of shredded coconut,
mix thoroughly and add one teaspoon-
ful of vanilla. Drop on greased bak-
ing sheets, one tea&poonful at a time
one Inch apart. Bake in a moderate
oven until nicely browned.
Coconut Balia.
Take one tablespoonful of con-
densed milk, or the same of honey;
one and one-quarter cupfuls of shred-
ded coconut, four tablespoonfuls of
chopped raisins and one-half cupful of
chopped walnut meats. Mix and shape
Into balls the size of marbles, roll In
coconut
Cabbage Salad.
Make a mixture of finely-shredded
cabbage, green pepper* and olives. Re-
move the stones from the olives; to
one small cabbage use one green pep-
per, seeds and white fiber removed,
and one cupful of chopped olives.
Moisten with a rich, highly-seasoned
boiled dressing or a mayonnaise. Fill
lemon halves with the mixture and
serve with oysters.
Shredded lettuce added to cream
cheese well-seasoned and sprinkled
thickly with currants makes a tasty
salad to serve with bread and butter
for Sunday night lunch.
Cottage cheese to which two or
more tablespoonfuls of boiled dressing
is added and served on lettuce with
a French dressing, Is another slmpla
and easy way to prepare salad.

I COUNT NOT LOST
I count not lost a single day
If ’long life’s dark and troubled way
I may, perhaps, some kind word say
And drive some tired soul’s cares
away.
It may not be my lot to do
Some noble work, with honor due,
But may I yet inspire some few
To give up doubting—start anew.

The fears and sins that taunt the
soul;
’Tis ours the task to help unfold
