a good substitute for it may be made with
' tho' foods available In all parts of the
country. The Mexican recipe follows:
Remove the seeds from two Chill peppers,
oak the pods In a pint of warm water
until they are aoft, scrape the pulp from
the akin and add to the water. Cut two
. pound of beef into small pieces and brown
' in butter or drippings. Add a clove of gar

. meat la tender, renewing the water if
necessary. Thicken the sauce with flour.
Serve with Mexican beans either mixed
with the meat or used aa a border. "
In the absence ' of Chill peppers, water
, and Cayenne pepper may be used, and on
ions may be substituted for garlic For
the Mexican beans, red kidney beans either
fresh or canned make a good substitute.
If the canned beans are used they ahould
be drained and heated In a little savory fat
. or butter. The liquid may be added to
the meat while It Is cooking. It the dried
beans are used they should be soaked until
soft, then cooked in water until tender and

Perhaps no more striking Instance of
tho world's progress In agriculture la at

days before the civil war, he lived on an
humble farm In Virginia, and harvested
the wheat for his father with the sickle
and the rake. Today he owns thousands
of acres, and operates a great machine
which cuts hundreds of acres of wheat In
a siugle day, threshes it, tags . it, ai
weighs It, with never the Interposition of
a human hand. Where once he sowed the
grain broadcast from a sack slung across
his shoulders, he now operates a great
machine which plows, harrows and sows
many acres every hour. Thus, In hla aingle
life. Is represented more human progress
than In all the hundreds of generatlona
gone before. It was not a great step from
the days when Ruth gleaned after the

doublo this amount to thresh tho crop

For many years economists figured that
the day must come when the number of
bread eatera would make the demand for
wheat greater than the worlds supply.
'But with the advent of the Argentine. Re
public and wextern Canada as great wheat
growing regions, those gloomy forebodings
have been set at rest. It is uald that If
only one-halt of the available territory In
the Argentine were sown In wheat and the
crop therefrom ahould be only ten bushels
to the acre It would produce an amount
equal to one-half of the entire crop ot tho
world today. In a single- season north
western Canada produced over twenty-five
bushels to the acre from nearly 3,000,000
acres of ground. The largest recorded
yield of wheat on a thousand-acre tract U
held by the state of Washington with a
production of fifty-one bushels to the acre.
The geographical origin of wh eat, which

Ssxs Trivia: "Though I'v never tried
Before to be a sweet June bride,
I must confess It seems to be
A role exactly made for me.
With only one rehearsal, too,
I think I'm play well, don't youT
Demure and shy and somewhat pale,
In orange blossom and a veil.
Of course, I know that marriage bring
Grave duties, cares and serious things,
But now upon th wedding day
I only think of what I gay,
Ot wedding trousseau, spick and new,
'Something borrowed, something blue,'
Of rice and flower that on m hall
Ot orange blossom and a veil!
1 smile, remembering that too soon
Must wan my lovely honeymoon.
And household cares and busy way
Fill up my later married daya;
And so, although a vagrant tear
Upon my smiling cheeks appear,
I won't let gloqiny thought prevail
O'ar orange blossom and a veil,
"Bom day next week I'll buy a book
And learn the way to bake and eook,
Hubby shan't aay, 'Why can't you make
Biscuit Ilk mother used to baker
Mine shall be better, don't you eet
And light aa biscuit ought to be,
I'v mightier mean to pleas a male
Than orange blossom and a veil I
"We'll be content, my mate and I,
With things that money may not buy
81 in pre content and homely things.
So If our money should take wlng.i,
Our mutual love will not expire;
And In the dusk beside the fire
We'll keep the spirit strong and halo
Of orange blossoms and a veil I"
