ZV I to bake delicious cake sV , i it . ' . i or not. her are a few rules that are ensentlul: 1'se the beet material. Po-called cooking butter and stored ecus will make pour cake, and let no economical one persuade you otherwise. What la known as soft A sugar makes a cake of nicer grain thsn granulated or powdered sugar. In measuring stint rather than heap up the cup or the batter la coarse grained. Baking puwdnr should be measured by gently rounding, not heaped or flat, teaapoonful. With sour milk recipes us baking soda snd cream of tartar rather than baking powders. Never guess at measurements. Most recipe glvs exact proportions which a good cook sometimes modifies. A cup, when not defined, usually means the stone china kitchen coffee cup that holds a little more than half a pint. Th richer the milk the better the cake. More than la called . for Is often permissible to keep the batter from getting too thick. Htlntlng flour Is the secret of good cake. Few realise this, as can be told by two persons making up the same recipe with results totally dif ferent from the cook who is heavy on flour. It Is safe to allow a quarter to half a cup less flour on most recipes. Judgment Is important In cake mix ing. Flours differ tn heuvlnens and eggs in size; therefore to keep the batter from being too stiff see that It runs easily from the spoon, yet Is not "runny." Thinning must be done before baking powder and whites of eggs are In. Have all Ingredient ready before beginning to mix a cake. Once started It should go Into the oven quickly. One mixing bowl and two smaller ones for eggs will be needed: also a wooden paddle and a wire rg beater. 81ft flour twice before measuring and put Into batter through sifter. Get ready pans before starting cake. There is but one sura way to prevent sticking psper the bottoms of pans and grease it, not the pan, which Is only buttered on the edge. Many per sons use lard for greasing, but butter never tastes. For the Future Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Hamilton will enter tain this evening fur their son, Robert Hamilton.

A good cake baker make sure that her cake pans are not used for other purposes by keeping them under lock. In the same place have all the utensils needed and there will be no delay. Here also have an extra supply of baking powder, flavoring extracts, chocolate and the special sugar used. lo not get more than five pounds at a time of the latter, and see that It is rolled and sifted before using. If the mixing spoon Is a wooden frame, beating is expedited. If one of these spoons cannot be bought, any carpenter can make one. In mixing a cake, cream butter and sugar together not with the hands. It can be don just as well and more hyglenically with a spoon. Butter should be soft to save work. This does not mean melted, which make a heavy batter. Beat to a light cream. Next put In th well-beaten yolks of eggs, stirring vigorously. Add the flour and milk alternately, Just stir ring In and not beating. Mix the baking powder with a little flour and add after the flavoring. Last stir In the whites of eggs beaten so stiff they adhere to plate when turned upside down. They should be stirred In with least possible motion. When a cake Is done It will have drawn slightly away from the edges of the pan. It can also be tested by a clean straw. Do not bake more than a delicate golden brown. If the oven is too hot snd the batter browns quickly, cover with a paper. Turn the cakes upside down on a clean towel or sheet of waxed paper. There will be no sticking It bottoms of pans have been papered and greased properly. Otherwise, if cakes stick put wet cloth over bottoms of pans for a minute. Small cakes stick less If the pans are flat-bottomed and the sides tall and rather straight. After greasing, flour well, then shake off superfluous flour. Hun knife around sides before turning cakes out. Do not Ice until cake are cold. Boiled white Icinga are preferable to the uncooked, and a soft fudge to uncooked chocolate and sugar.

Tt.iia Tnav hiwnmn known here of the bill which will be Introduced Into the legis lature next week appropriating Via.tm to establish a state publicity and Immigration bureau. Th bill Is backed by the governor who recommends It specifically and by the state Association of Commercial clubs. th. Kahrmlii Pre sb association and the advertising clubs of the state. One hun- drded and eighty-four Nebraska news papers are also behind the bill and the State Board of Agriculture and various influential business men's organizations. The appropriation Is to b expended under h irtinn of the State Board of Agri culture, a legally constituted body, whloh shall hire a competent newspaper UTUr w-lih some experience In legislative pub licity work. ' together with one assistant. With this force the board of managers of the State Board of Agriculture expects to gather the statistics now collected by th deputy labor commissioner, but In no way to interfere with that department gather ing the needed industrial statistics used In. fulfilling the duties of that department. The new bureau will also be expec.- to furnish definite Information to inqu; les about Nebraska, not In a general way, but in a specific way practically placing itself In a position to show the value of every section of land In the state and Its pos sibilities of production. Thousands of such inquiries are now being received and with out funds the State Board of Agriculture and the commissioner of labor are attempt ing to answer them the best they can. Fallow Other states. The committee v.-Ilicn has worked out the plan for the state association of commer cial clubs consists of B. R. McKelvle. editor of the Nebraska Farmer; K. M. Merwln, editor of the Beatrice Sun, and Will A. Campbell, manager of the Omaha Commer cial club publicity bureau. These men have definite information from many states, one ot them havltg visited the capital of every state In the west and looked up what Is being done to give the world the proper kind of Information about the various States. They say Nebraska and Iowa are now doing the least and all Iowa is work ing for an appropriation of I100,(m to do th work Nebraska proposes to organize for $25,000. The reason given for desiring the bureau to the Nebraska Btate Board of Agriculture Is that it Is becoming more and more the duty ot such boards In various slates to do such work and the general public looks to the Nebraska State Board ot Agriculture for such information. This Is shown by the enormcbs number of Inquiries received by the hoard. ' The board of agriculture has about loO members for Its annual .meetings in touch with every part of the state, all public spirited men who give their time freely and would lend their influence and assistance to such a bureau more readily if it were under their board of managers. .

Each grape la large and meaty and the bunch Is truly beautiful to look at. As a bunch weighs about two pounds and as the selling prlco is $1.M a pound, It will be readily understood why It Is more usual to admire the appearance than It Is to com ment on the taste of the grape.
