cooked. When cool add 4 drops oil

1 part cornstarch sifted four times.
Put second layer of mixture over

The oil flavoring should be used in

Agricultural Agent
Urged in Box Butte
Alliance — Following the potato
convention and show of the Nebraska
Potato Improvement association held
here a number of the farmers of the
county have started a movement to
secure a county agricultural agent.
Box Butte county's failure to have
an exhibit at the convention was ac
counted for. the farmers say, by the
fact that the county is without an
agricultural agent and had no one
to prepare an exhibit. All of the
other counties represented at the
show had county farm agents who ar
ranged the exhibits. Under the pres
ent state law, a petition bearing the
names of 300 fanners makes it in
cumbent upon the county coram'*
sloners to set aside a fund for the
employment of a county agent, and
those who are circulating the peti
tion say they will have little trouble
in getting the required number of
signers among the farmers.

Shortage of Hay Is
Handicaoing Feeders
Ord—Shortage of hay. together

on the market, although many of I
the older feeder* are planning to
hold their stuff until it is finished.

on feed at the present time in Valley
county than there have been in re
cent years. Many farmer.* w:ho have
done anything but. grain farming
heretofore have a load of cattle In
the feed lot this year.
The dry weather that rarne in
August has caused a serious short
age of hay. Alfalfa is worth from
$10 to $15 per ton, while native bay
will range from $8 to $12. The corn
crop in Valley county, while only
about half that of the previous year,
is ample for local needs.

colds I think it is very good." (Signed) Mrs. Rose G. Kuffe

"I'll tell the world
l for you” says the
Omaha Bee Want Ad
Radio phoning is still a
sensation—it’s new.
But talking across miles
of space to people you
never saw before isn’t.
The Omaha Bee “Want”
Ad section has been de
livering that sort of mes
sage for year’s!
Like the flash of a radio dispatch, the news that you
have lost some valuable article is sent out to thousands
of Omaha homes through a little ad in the “Lost and
Found” column of The Omaha Bee.
With equal speed and certainty you can tell the home
seekers of the city that you have a house or apartment
or a room for rent—the job hunters that you have work
to be done—or any number of other people that you are
selling something that they will be anxious to buy.
There isn’t an ad message that you can’t send directly
to those who will be most interested in it!

taker today.
