contend that the advantages that

be more than offset by tho disadvan

in all road construction. Even our
largest bridges should be replaced
with concrete structures as fast as
the old ones give way. All road
work should be on tho same perman
ent basis, with grades sufficiently
high, wide and well drained to carry
off the water at all times. Too much
emphasis cannot bo laid on this last
factor. Many of our older states havo
miles of tile, draining places where
water cannot lie drawn off through
ditches and culverts. When com
pared with many counties near ours,
wo are still in tho mud, but indica
tions arc that those in chargo of the
work are fast trying to pull us out.
They need our co-operation and to
be made feel that tho public is with
them. All that wo need, of course,
cannot come at once.

MiiMng Hominy
Tho Extension Service of tho Uni
versity of Nebraska Collcgo of Agri
culture gives tho following recipe
for the making of home-made homi
ny: Pour hot water ovor corn and
soak over night. In tho morning put
tho corn in an" iron kettlo with warm
water enough to cover. For each
pint of corn, put in ono teaspoon of
baking soda. Boil until .hull conies
oir readily. Wash in clear water.
Slip oil" hulls with hands or a littlo
broom by stirring around in water.
Soak hulled corn in water and wasli
until alkaline tasto is all gone. Boil
or lot freeze until concontrated. Lye
may bo used instead of soda in prep
aration of 1 teaspoon of lyo to two
quarts of corn. A small amount of
corn will go a long way as human
food, when prepared in this munne
hope and urge that every tax payer
and his wife will bo present at this
meeting. This includes town as
well as country people.
Many people at this time aro want
ing a good laying x-ation for hens.
Ono that is highly recommended is
four parts each of cracked corn and
oats, and ono of wheat or barley if
available. Uso this as a scratch feed
to throw in four or five inches of
clean litter. A dry mash should al
so bo fed composed of equal parts of
cornmeol, bran, middlings, ground
oats, and meat scraps. Tankage
may bo used if meat scraps cannot
be had. Somo form of animal pro
tein is essential. Keep this mix
ture in a hopper feeder whero they
have access to it all tho times. Al
falfa, cabbage, mangles, sprouted
oats, etc. make excollent feed.
Ground oyster shells and grit should
bo fed from hoppers.

Lutheran Church Notes
By Rev. C. R. Lowe.
The practico of tho young folks at
tho church last Friday night was
pretty well attonded and we did somo
good work. Not as -many were out
as wo had hoped, but the sickness in
tho community will have to bear the
blamo for it. Tho only drawback we
saw and still is in tho matter of
lights. Wo will havo to get some
thing for lighting purposes if wo aro
to continuo this work. Wo havo
good lights in tho homes, and tho
church supplied with poor ones docs
not invito the children to tho church
and to tho work there. This lost is
a thing wo very much desire.
Wo are going to announco and ad
vertise another community day at
tho church for Now Years Day. Wo
have talked with n number of our
peoplo and they havo thought it
would be a good thing. Wo did not
have a fair trial at it tho first timo
we tried it because tho weather was
so very bad. Wo will try it again.
Wo do not havo any general social
life in tho community. Thoro aro
several clubs, but they aro for tho
ladies and tho men get none. It is
truo that all will not bo ablo to bo
there, and it is truo that many will
not havo interest in it enough to
want to bo there, but somo of us will,
and thoso who aro thoro will bo tho
ones to havo tho benofit of it. It
will be a public affair. Bring your
dinner ami wo will eat togothor. It
nlay bo when wo havo such a good
time, and try to have another thine
of the sort, others will bo beguiled
into coming and tho thing will grow.
Let us try it. Thero is no reason
why we should not havo something
of a social center at tho church.
And if it should grow till wo should
need to build that basement undor
tho church to contain it, wouldn't
that bo a fine thing. And why
shouldn't it. Wo need somo social
life together. Wo havo somo justi
fiable prido in our community, and
wo ought to havo something to bind
us together socially. Let us just get
together and havo a good timo.
Tho pastor has word from Dr. E. H.
Mueller who is tho field secretary of
tho Board of Foreign Missions that
ho will bo hero at tho "Twin
Churches" on January tho fifth. Rov.
Klatt and tho pastor havo agreod to
gothor thot wo will try somo way to
get together for that service. This
service will do us all good, and tho
getting together of tho two congre
gations will bo a good thing for tho
community. Wo ought to havo tho
church full "to tho door. Final ar
rangements for tho meeting havo ndt
yet been made, but will bo announc
ed in good time. On tho afternoon
of that day, Dr. Mueller will go t?
the church at Homer and speak to.
tho peoplo thero and then to Emor
son or Allen for the evening.
Tho mooting of tho board of trus
tees of Midland Collcgo was post
poned till a later date because of tho
flu at Atchison, so wo do not yet
know what will bo done with tho
Fremont matter. Wo ought to bo
profoundly' grateful to God, that wo
havo "hot suffered any more 'severely"
from tho epidemic of tho influenza
than wo have. Wo havo not had a
singlo death in our community nor in
Dakota City. In fact wo havo at Sa
lem conducted but a singlo funeral
in threo years of our pastorate, that
in of a resident, and but two alto
gether. And to show our cratitudo
we can do no better than to come to
tho house of God to worship. This is
not only n duty, but a blessed privi
lege. And more- than that wo moot
there tho best people, thoso who are
tho salt of tho earth. Not necessa
rily tho best "society" in tho world
ly sense of tho term, but tho best
peoplo tho world has, thoso who have
a high standing beforo God. Ho
does not count standing by acres nor
incomes, but by honest spiritual
hearts. Wo will find them good as
sociates. Christmas services will bo hold
Sunday, December 24h,' at 11 o'clock.
