Ev eryone is expected to bring some thing for luncheon. Since farm women usually have the responsibility of deciding what vegetables shall be grown In the Knrden, a part of each meeting will be devoted to a discussion of the choice of vegetables with reference to their food value. A well-planned dietary necessary includes vegeta bles, and Nebraska soil and climate are favorable to the growtn of many kinds. The ideal garden furnishes vegetables for the table all the year, In sufficient variety to afford a con stant supply of the minerals needed by the body.

Since these are common foods and since it Is well from the standpoint of health and economy to extend their use, it is hoped that each woman who at tends will bring suggestions for the use of these important foods. The topics to be discussed at later meetings will be arranged according to suggestions and requests received from the housekeepers who attend. These meetings have not been ar ranged to teach cooking to the la dled of Box Butte county, but to study food and its relation to body needs; the house and its arrange ment and decoration with reference to an Ideal and efficient home; clothing from the standpoint of the election of materials; and a wise choice of garments, with the idea of bringing out means by which work can be made simpler and easier In the home. TWE TEST I I By PARI REED SILVERS lsasfcaaB!iscra1ca ROY UriOr NEU N 3 FEET OF WATER Son of Mr. and Mrs. oi-. Olson, Former Alliance Residents, Pled at Seattle Word has been received here of the drowning of Arnold Olson, seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Olson, of Seattle Wash., former resi dents of Alliance. While the water was only three feet deep at the point of crossing. It Is thought thai the child in falling was rendered sense less. The following Is taken from I Seattle paper: "Hurrying home to lunch Thurs day over a short-cut he had been warned against using by his mother, Arnold Olson, 7, son of Mr. and Mis. C. G. Olson, fell into a ditch and was drowned, near the port commission docks, foot of Emerson street, at Salmon bay, near which the family hrul been living all winter in a house boat. A pulmotor from the city hos pital failed to resuscitate the lad. He had been Ifl the water about two hours when 1 und "The boy's failure to come home from school worried hla mother, who started a search for him. Mrs. J. H. McNlchol, wife of the dock agent, had Been the lad using the forbidden shortcut, and, under a bridge, his hat was seen floating. Mr. McNlch ol found the body in the water and dragged it out. Two narrow planks connect the car treBtle with the docks at the point the boy fell In." SI BSTITI TKS FOR "SPRING TONIC" Vegetables and fruits are a good substitute for grandmother's 'spring ! tonic' according to the home econom ics extension specialties of the univ ersity. Less meat and more vegeta bles and fruits make a good spring diet. Canned spinach may be made Into a very appetizing dish If eBcalloyed I with a white sauce, covered with but jtered crumbs, and baked until brown I Cabbage, onions, turnips, carrots, and parsnips may be servxed in the same way. Dried, canned, or fresh fruits make good desserts when served with a simple cake made as follows: Break an egg into a cup, fill the cup with sugar, pour Into the mixing bowl and beat until light and creamy. Ad two tablespoons softened butter, fourths cup milk, and one and one half cups flour sifted with three tab lespoosn baking powder. This makes twelve little cakes which may be serv ed with any fruit sauce. Typewriter ribbons of all kinds The Herald carries the largest Btoc In Alliance at all times.

H PALMER Rhein-Rousey Company HARDWARE, HARNESS, IMPLEMENTS, TIN SHOP, PAINTS, WAGONS Kleanor Rllelgh had been at the sea shore for exactly thirteen days. Her vacation was rapidly approaching Its close and Eleanor was troubled. She did not want to go back again to the hustle and bustle of the city ; she want ed to stay at Seacllffe, where she could see Ned Shanley every morning, noon and night. For Eleanor had begun to care very much for Ned, and In her heart of hearts she admitted to herself that she hoped Ned hail begun to care for her. it had heen a wonderful week. Dur ing the first part of her stny at Sea cllffe Eleanor hail simply sat around the hotel porch, dressed In the proper gowns, doing the proper things In tin proper way. Hut Just n week ago Ned had appeared, and after that things were different. Eleanor gazed thoughtfully over the sun-kissed ocean. She looked rn.her hopefully up and down the broad plar 7,a. but the object of her thoughts was nowhere to be seen. He was late for supper, but directly after the meal he met her on the steps of the hotel. "Hello, little lady In white." was his method of greeting. "What shall we do tonight?" "Just stay around, I guess." Her blue eyes rested questlonlngly en his. 'Don't you want to?" "I sure do." There was the slight est hint of laughter In his voice. "It means the last time we will be to gether In Seacllffe." "We've had wonderful time, haven't we?" She aeated herseif behind him on the porch. "Just fine." He spoke enthusias tically. "Hut we're going to keep right on having good times, aren't we?" "Do yon mean after we go back to the city?" "Of course." She smiled a little twisted smile which bordered on the pathetic. "Oh, you know how things always are after summer vacation. People forget" "But we're not going to." He spoke earnestly. "Surely we'll see each other in New York." "But how about all the girls you have told me about ; girls In your own set, like Gladys Itoinalne and Beverly Baldwin?" "They don't count now," he said. "But they will count," she ptslsted. "You'll want to go to dances and house parties Just as you used to, and you'll forget all about this summer aud me." He smiled away her doubts. "I couldn't forget about you," he sold. . "All right, let's don't talk about It." She laughed lightly, but her eyes were troubled. Side by side they made fhelr way Into the ballroom, and It was not until after midnight that Eleanor reverted to the conversation of the early eve ning. "This Is our last time together," she said softly. "What do you mean?" He looked up julckly. "After tOOlgbt you mustn't see me any more." She tried to speak casu ally, hut there was a tremor lu her voice which all her attempt at bravery could not conceal. "Oh, you don't mean that," he pro tested. "1 thought we were going to see each other lots." "No, I guess It's all over, aft"r tonight." He rose and stood so that the light from the moon shone directly Into hot face. "Are you engaged?" There was a hurt look In his eyes. "No." lie sighed relieedfy. "Then there Isn't any aeon why 1 can't see you." There Is. Won't you please take my word for it and not try to?" she pleaded. He glanced down half angrily. Iler eyes were bordered with tears, and. fl he watched, one huge drop oulvered In the moonlight and rolled down tier cheeks. In an instant he was sitting beside her, her bead pillowed on his dloilldcr. "Oh, you mustn't see me any more," lie sobbed. "My name Isn't Eleanor Klleigh at all; its Just plain Ellen Itellly, and I'm a stenographer down low 11." He raised her fate to his. "And do you think that will muke O) difference?" "Yes. It will." Her hand rested 011 hK arm. "If you were only like people I kaOW, things would be all right. Hut you're not, you're rich." ' Voii mustn't tulk like thut. dear," he said softly. "1 love you; that's all 1 hut mat era." Through a veil of tears she smiled up at In 111. "Anil you cure, no matter what I am''" she asked happily. "Yes more than 1 ill the world." Hastily she wiped the lean fr, tier SJ M "I'm glad, Ned," she announced, nml her lone mm a ny-ess, "because I'm not a steiioj;riipher, ofter all " The expression on his face betokened bew llderillc III Then why did you tell me that?" 1 . iked afondsringty.
