Through long days and sleepless nights she has watched over you when you were eick and prayed that you might be rpared, and even now if she is living and you perchance are away from her, there is never a day goes by, but what her thoughts ere of you and her hopes and aspiratiens are wrapped up in your welfare and advancement. Do what ycu may for her on this day, for ycu will never have done too much, yet, not even enough, when you do all you can for her comfort in the declining yesrs of her life.

Tc-eumseh I " urried excan andu;iches Use Your Beans to Vary Them HVE you ever realized the number of different klcda o beans you can get in a can? Baked beans, Kosher beans, lima beans, beans with pork, red kidney beans, stringless beans and beans with tomato sauce all come to you in this convenient form. Of course you can make a great variety of dishes with all these different kinds of beans, but the ones most difficult to vary are the baked beans. These make a fine dish just as they come from the can, but have you ever tasted Curried Baked Beans: Fry one fourth pound bacon, and remove to dish to keep hot. Add two shredded green peppers to fat, and saute until golden brown. Add two No. 2 cans baked beans, two cups tomatoes, one-fourth tea spoon pepper and one teaspoon curry powder, and simmer from fifteen to twenty minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve gar nished with the bacon slices and whole sweet gherkins. Serves eight. Another Foreign Tang It you don't particularly like curry, but do pine for a sharp taste in your beans, here is an other recipe with a. foreign tang: Mexican Baked Beans: Fry six teen rashers bacon, and remove to platter to keep hot. Pour off all but about six tablespoons fai. Add two diced onions, and saute till golden brown. Add the contents of two No. 2 cans baked beans and two teaspoons chili powder, and heat thoroughly. Add salt, if de sired, to taste. Serve bacon on top. Serves eight.

"Spring Fair" a Success. Despite the gloomy weather and the fact that other functions may have interfered in some measure with the attendance of the "Spring Fair" held at the M.

Mrs. Kunkel, in charge cf the bar.aar had disposed of most of its wares by the afternoon of the last day, .and with the genercus donation of Mrs. Dan Porter of Nebraska City and leceipts at the door the financir.1 returns, approximately $31.00 seem ed a fair return for the labor in volved. The choice cf quilts and display was decided by a vote of those in at tendance. First choice being given a "Japanese Fan," the work of Mrs. Ralph Pcarsley, second choice, "Dres den Plate," shown by Mrs. E. J. Mot-gey; third, "The State Flower," shown by Mrs. Mgss McCarroll, all belonging to the completed group. Of the unfinished qnilts, Mrs. Gene Roddy stood first; Ruth Warden sec ond and Opal Martin third. In the display cf antiques, the one inciting most comment was a rolling pin pur chased in Scotland 200 years ago, and exhibited by Mrs. Ivan Ealfcur. Show ing much wear, one might conclude that this rolling pin may hare at one time slipped over into Ireland and become for a time the property of the anticcdents of "Jiggs" and "Maggie" c.3 originated by our contemporary Geo.
