Bachelor Banquets By JOSEFHTKE GIBSOM Director, Heinz Food Institute ATANY WOJIEX hesitate to tcke even a short vacation in the sum mer time if it means leaving their helpless men folk at home to forage for their own food. They fear these summer bachelors of theirs might run amuck in the recipe file, grow thin and hungry from neglect, or let a pyramid of dishes collect in the kitchen sink. But re'ally, such fears are groundless. Almcst every man has some hidden culinary talent lurking under the surface of his masculine indifference. They all have their pet theories on seasonings and such, and this is the ideal time to try them out. V.'ith a little kindly guidance, and a few tactfully made suggestions, they may even fare so well cs to call in their fellow bachelors for a brotherhood feast. Just post these mannish menus and recipes on the kitchen bulletin board, and leave without further worry. Your vacation will be a bachclcr's holiday.

Late Summer Best Time for Lawn Repairs Scratch. Surface and Cover with Light Dressing of Soil When Kepair ing the Bare Spots. The time is approaching when work on lawns and the seeding of mnv lawns can be done under more fuvoiable conditions than at any sea son. Fine lawn grasses all tend to stop growth in midsummer and their energy revives as fal lapproaches. This is believed to be governed by th- length of the daylight. From late August to the first of October,, the earlier the better, is the most favorable time for the germina tion of lawn grass seed and the es tablishment cf seedling plants. The growth urge is at its maximum, the weather is cooler, with more plenti weather is cooler, with more plenti ful moisture, and with shortening days there is an apparent effort on the party of the plants to achieve maximum strength in preparation for the winter. The earlier seed is sown, the long er seedling plants have to grow in this favorable period before the ground freezes. After October 1 there is considerableh azard due to the pos sibility that freezing will come when the seedling plants are too young to Ftand it. Seeding should never be de layed so long unles it is impossible to sow earlier. Seed sown on established lawn for repair purposes at this season re quires more careful treatment than in the early spring. There must be assurance that the seed is covered with earth, since otherwise it is like ly to wash off the bare spots. Loosen the soil in the bare places, sprinkle on the seed and rake it in, or if seed E0DE0 AT WAH00 Wahoo, Neb., Aug. 8. (Special) Sam Stuart of Fort 'Worth, Texas, the only rival of the bullfighting Sid ney Franklin in the United States, has been engaged to face a new herd of Brahma bulls in liie arena here during the second annual Wahoo Buckaroo. This sport is purely bur lesque in nature but a whale of a lot of lun and will be the night feature of the Saunders County Buckaroo Fair, August 21 to 24, inclusive. The' fast working cowboys will make a quick change from the regu lation rodeo arena of the afternoon to a smaller one for the Lurlesque feature and Mr. Stuart will be as sisted by a bevy of agile clowns among which are Cousin Kingfish who fights from safety on a high wire and Scrap Iron, who lights iron a fire department barrel on the ground. Charley Shultz, the children's clown of Ponca City, Oklahom and Milt Mc Kinley, the Girting cowboy who flirts only with danger, will add action, color and comedy to the Spanish set ting. The requirements for this type of sport are good health, eyesight and co-ordination ol mind and muscle to dodge gracefully these furious Brah ma beasts of East Indian where they have gained prowress over their jun gle enemy, the man-killing Bengal tiger. A BIG CIRCUS TO BE IN THIS SECTION SOON G-Llen Find theThoney' i More than $1,000, 000 in phoney bills was capacity of counterfeiters plant at High Falls, N.

The (name of which canont be made konwn Orley Clement has Just completed at this time, as the matter i3 under The circus fans and circus minded folks of this vicinity will have an op portunity to enjoy the performances of the Russell Bros, three-ring cirus when it exhibits in Nebraska City. Thursday, August 13th. The circus is one form of amuse ment that still retains its lure, and most any circus is worth seeing, but when the one in question is the Rus sell Bros. Three Ring Circus, then is broadcast generally over the lawnjour circus admirers may be assured it should be accompanied by a light top dressing. This should be prepared of sifted soil, which may be mixed with a complete plant food. It should not exceed a quarter of an inches in depth w hen spread over the lawn and should be carefully raked and wash ed off the grass leaves. Throughout the cold-weather states cf the United States, Kentucky blue grass is considered very satisfactory. It is sown usually in a mixture which includes 'considerable red top and some White clover and bent." Red top is a fine lawn grass which germin ates more quickly than blue grass and becomes established easily, but it is not so permanent. It is used as a nurse crop to the blue grass, which, while slower in germinating and tak ing hold, will finally come to dom inate in the permanent lawn. White clover thickens the turf and enriches the soil. It is a good plan for gardeners to have a ready supply of good grass seed for the late summer and fall re seeding; and where new lawns are to be made, a supply of plant food will also be needed. 'SAMARITAN' HAS BAD LUCK Omaha. For a good Samaritan, William Neihart of Omaha, has more than his share of tough luck. Neihart passed the scene of an au tomobile accident Sunday and volun teered to take the victims to a hos pital. En route, his car collided with one driven by William Watson, of Omaha. There was no serious damage and Neihart went on to the hospital where Lester Fuller, Mrs. Fuller, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Rentschler, Omaha, had their minor injuries attended. Then Neihart, with Fuller and Du gan, drivers of the cars in the first accident, all went to police head quarters where all were booked on charges of reckless driving. Neihart was also booked on charges of leav ing the scene of an accident. While the three were there Watson walked in and was booked as a witness. of a treat for this is one of the very highest class and cleanest of circuses. This show is deserving of patron age because it was one of the first of the large shows to reduce its price of admission and it did so without in any way cutting down on its per formance or menagerie display. All that one pair ot eyes can see and more too, will be presented in the three rings and on the hippo drome track. The Russell Circus is one that boasts of 1 its display of trained horses and fts unusual as sembly of novel features, which are to be seen exclusively with this show. After all it is the remarkable sen sational trapeze performance of Bob Fisher's Five Fearless Flyers that is the big sensation of the show. POULTRY LCENSE ENACTED Washington. A bill to put deal ers and handlers of live poultry un der federal licenses was passed by the house and sent to the white house. Bringing the measure before the house. Rep. Mitchell (d., Tenn.) said it was designed to prevent "racket eering" in central markets by charg ing for services never given. He said the bill, previously passed by the senate, would cut the cost of a bird to the New York conseumer from 15 to 2D cents and boost the price per pound for the southern or western producer by 2 1-2 to 3 cents.
