Our Women and, Children Conducted by Lucille Skaggs Edwards THE SOUP POT A MEANS OF* ECONOMY Since many of the protein-rich foods are among the most expensive of those in common use, it is espe cially important to make the fullest possible use of what is bought. Not all of the meat which we buy is suitable for use as such. The mass es of fat which are trimmed off be fore cooking or are left on the plat ters may be saved, rendered, and used in cooking, while the bones, gris tle, and other refuse parts find their best use in the soup pot, where the long slow cooking in water draws out the gelatin, fat and other nutritive material they contain. This stock, as the resulting liquid is called, may serve as the basis not only of a great variety of soups, but also of gravies \ and sauces, and may be used for cook ing vegetables, rice, and similar foods. When it is used for soup, its flavor may be varied by adding various veg etables, such as carrots, onions, to matoes, turnips, and celery. It may be thickened with flour, bread crumbs or okra. Boiled rice, barley, macaroni j and other pastes and croutons (small pieces of stale bread fried a delicate biown in deep fat) may be put in to increase the food value of soup and vary its appearance and taste.

Church was most delightfully entertained by a group of young musicians of decided talent. The occasion was the recital of Mr. J. Andrew Singleton, tenor so loist. The program rendered by Mr. Singleton was a difficult one and well executed. It left no doubt in the minds of his hearers that he gained considerable experience by his train ing at Howard University. The group containing “Mammy,” “O He’ Carita” and “The Sunshine of Your Smile” was particularly good. The success of Mr. Singleton’s ex cellent program was due also to the assistance of his accompanist, Mrs. C H. Singleton. Her playing at all times was of such a nature as to give j confidence to the singers. Miss Duvall, who assisted Mr. Sin gleton, as soprano soloist, and who is well known as one of the most promising singers among the local tal ent, was heard to good advantage in | “Sing On,” by Denza; and “Jean,” by Burleigh. The work of Mr. Clyde Leroy Glass, concert pianist, of Des Moines, was brilliant and proclaimed him as a coming artist of high rank. The num bers which seemed to be the most ap preciated were the group containing “Deep River” by Coleridge-Taylor; “Gigue Bretonne,” by Bachmann, and “Barcarolle” by Goddard. The program was a well selected one throughout. Mr. Singleton’s num bers included in addition to the group mentioned, three of Burleigh’s: “The Young Warrior,” “Almona” and “Her Eyes Twin Pools;” “Celeste Aida” by Verdi, and “Ah, Love But a Day," by Mrs. Beach. Mr. Glass’s other num bers were "Scherzo in B Flat Minor” by Chopin; “Consolation” and “Erl king” by Liszt. M’CLELLAN LECTURE RECITAL An appreciative audience assembled in the parlors of Jacobs’ Memorial Hall Wednesday night, when George Marion McClellan, of Louisville, Ky., gave readings from his prose and poetical works, “The Old Green Bot tom Inn” and “The Pathway of Dreams.” The interplay of humor and pathos in the two short stories, “John Henry,” or “For Anison’s Sake” and "The Death of Hannibal,” a famous race horse, delighted his audience as did also his poetical selections from the “Pathway of Dreams.” The pro gram was varied by musical numbers consisting of a duet by the Misses Bentley and Bradley; solos by Mrs. Silas Johnson, Miss McCleary and Mrs. Dewey Allen and two numbers by the Western University quartette, composed of Messrs. Richard Allen, Harold Bentley, Hubert Glover and Thomas Roulette. The accompanists were Miss Logan, Miss Mattie Childs and Mrs. Irene Gardner. This very pleasant entertainment was given un der the auspices of the Woman’s Aux iliary of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church. July Famous month of Julius Caesar and of American Independence.

WOLF'S 1421 DOUGLAS STREET Just a Few Steps From 15th St. Kansas and Oklahoma Oil Fields Amaze the World The nation depends upon Oklahoma and Kansas for its high grade oil from which gasoline and other light oils are refined. Oklahoma is producing over one-third (1-3) of the crude oil from which gasoline is made in the United States. If the Kansas and Oklahoma oil fields were to suddenly shut down, one-half of the automobiles in the United States would have to stop running. The great automo bile industry is, in a way, dependent upon Oklahoma oil fields. OKLAHOMA is producing almost twice as much oil as all of the states east of the Mississi ppa River —more than Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana combined. Considering the above facts, is it strange that OKLAHOMA & KANSAS OIL MEANS MILLIONS, or that hundreds of Oklahoma oil companies are making fortunes for their shareholders? The wonder of it never ceases. Almost every day you read of men, or groups of men, or companies selling their holdings for millions of dollars. Recently the report was published of the McMann Oil Company, which sold out part of its production to the Magnolia Oil Company for the vast sum of $35,000,000. Just a few days ago the press and oil journals reported the sale of the B. B. Jones property in the Oklahoma field for $7,000,000. A u fortnight ago the Hill Oil and Gas Company sold their holdings in Oklahoma oil fields to the Cosden Oil and Gas Company for $12,000,000. jj The Farmers Oil and Gas Company has holdings in these wonderful producing oil fields. It is now II selling 400 square feet lots, giving a title in fee simple, guaranteeing the title forever, to the purchaser’ II of the said deed. These lots are selling now at ten dollars and will soon be doubled in price, due to the || newly discovered oil wells around this property. You better get down to the ground floor and invest AT ONCE! There is no telling what a hundred dollars invested in the Farmers Oil and Gas Company will II dc. for you. |j The Farmers Oil & Gas Co. 612-613 Paxton Block, Omaha, Neb.
