Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Bedtime Story for Children FIRST I1ID TO THE t AILING HOUSE By THORNTON W. BURGESS WHI JUMPER THE HARE WAS NOT AFRAID 'THE most surprising thing about the meeting of Buster Bear with the other little people of the Green Forest was that he was introduced by Jumper the Hare. Now you know, Jumper the Hare is very, very timid. Everybody knows that. He is so timid that some people say he is afraid of his own shadow. Of course, this isnt true, but it is true that he is very, very timid. So no one could understand how it happened that he dared to introduce Buster Bear. In fact, he didnt seem any more afraid of Buster than were Jimmy Skunk and Prickly Porky the Porcupine. But everyone knows why they are not afraid; Jimmy has a little bag of scent and Prickly Porky has a thousand - By Roger B. Whitman said he. Why should I be afraid of them? Because they can tear you all to pieces! yelled Peter promptly. But they cant! cried Jumper happily. That is just what they cant do, and that is why I am not . afraid! I dont see why they cant, persisted Peter. Because they cant catch me! Jumper made a long jump, a very long jump, twice as long a jump as Peter could make, as if to show why those cruel claws could not catch him. Peter began to see what Jumper the Hare meant. You mean you are not afraid of Buster Bear because you think Buster cannot catch you; is that it? asked Peter. Jumper nodded his head so fast that he made his long ears flop. Thats just it! said he. Buster Bear cant catch me. I know it and he knows it, and so he doesnt waste any time trying. Instead we are very good friends. The only things to be afraid of in this world are things you know may hurt you, no matter how sharp you watch out. Now, I am afraid of Granny Fox and Old Man Coyote because they are so' sly and swift that I am never , It seems to be getting to the fire-bo- where the farmers vote, is worth says reiterating Rita, more to him than his crops. point - WNU Service. sure that I am safe from them. But Buster Bear is not swift enough or sly enough to make me afraid. When you have known Buster as long as I have you will know that he isnt half so terrible as he looks, and that he really can be very nice and no end of fun. Im not afraid of Buster because Ive learned how to keep out of his way, and when youve learned the same thing you wont be afraid either. Peter looked as if he would like to believe it, but found it a little more than he could quite credit. T. W. Burgess. fire-bo- . little spears to make other people, even those a great deal bigger than they are, respect them. But Jumper the Hare has nothing of the kind. He has nothing with which to win respect save his long legs, and as he uses those to run away with,-o- f course, he never wins respect with them, for you know people who run away are seldom respected. So it was that when Jumper appeared not in the least afraid of Buster Bear and introduced him as a friend, the other little people, most of whom were , frightened almost to death, couldnt understand it at all. Peter Rabbit wasnt there at the time, but, of course he heard of it, and it puzzled him more than it did anyone else. He is timid himself, is Peter Rabbit, but he isnt as timid as his big cousin Jumper. And yet here was he himself having little cold chills of fright at the very thought of those great claws of Buster Bear, while Jumper, was not afraid at all. It was too much for Peter, and the first chance he got he asked Jumper about it. Jumper smiled. Why, said he, Buster Bear comes from the Great Woods where I came from, and I know all about him and he knows all about me. So we are friends. Peter scratched his head thoughtfully. Somehow he didnt understand any better than before. Arent you afraid of those great big, cruel claws? he asked. No, Jumper shook his head. WNU Service. , She Means Business With Other Ingredients. By EDITH M. BARBER nr HE Spaniards, when they Mexico, took back to Spain gold and other treasures. Nothing, however, was appreciated so much by the Spanish people as a whole, as the chocolate, which soon became the national drink, as it had been and still is in Mexico. This was accomplished in spite of the fact that church officials considered it a wicked luxury, especially when it became the custom to have it brought during long services to church. In commenting upon this custom, Dr. Doran in his Table Traits announces, A cup of good chocolate may indeed afford the drinker strength and patience to undergo a bad sermon..' To make really good chocolate, one must says Brillat-Savarisolve a number of very subtle equations. The roasting of the cocoa bean is an operation so delicate as to require a tact bordering on inThe roasting of the spiration. beans is very important whether they are to be used for manufacture of cake, chocolate or cocoa, as fine flavor is developed by the roasting process just as it is by roasting con-quer- ed n, coffee. In this country cocoa is used for the preparation of beverages more often than is chocolate. In the preparation of cocoa powder, a large part of the cocoa butter is removed. The quality of the cocoa bean and the amount of cocoa butter extracted as well as the roasting are all important. When chocolate is used care must be taken that it is prepared in such a way that it will blend smoothly with the other ingredients of the recipe. For cake and cookies it may be melted over hot not boiling water. When it is used with hot milk for pudding or for beverages it may be cut into smaller pieces and melted in the milk. Instead, it may be cooked with a small amount of cold wafer over direct heat until the mixture is smooth and thick. A cake of chocolate has- - usually been marked off in squares which weigh one ounce. Recently one of the oldest manufacturers AiwsnsAiL ClRAlCDilERS WARREN GOODRICH By O Bell Syndicate. has marked it into half ounce pieces, which allows us to measure even more accurately than before. In order to have a smooth beverage when cocoa is used cold water should be added and stirred with the powder over the direct heat until the mixture is smooth and thick after which it may be boiled a moment before the cold milk is added. This method allows us to make cocoa with the use of only one utensil. As soon as the milk begins to steam the mixture should be beaten until foamy with a heavy beater in order to prevent the scums forming. Whipped cream is usually served with both chocolate and cocoa. Instead a marshmallow may be put into each cup before the beverage is poured. This garnish is particularly favored by the children.

Movie Preferences. DONT like movies about hospiI tals where an impossible young surgeon performs impossible operations, in four strokes under par, using his irons all the way round; and then, while replacing the divots, makes love to an impossible although beauteous nurse. But between operations he washes his hands. Dadgum him, hes always washing his hands! Who does he think he is, Pontius Pilate? I dont like movies about newspaper offices where the hero is a drunken reporter who behaves in a manner peculiar to newspaper reporters (in the movies); which is so darned peculiar that, in a real newspaper office, somebodyd beat out his brains with a wet towel.

There is, of course, a desire to use these smaller sizes because of economy. Under certain conditions this is quite possible, although if the conditions are not met, coal gas is produced. This may result in puffs and even small exploor the passing sions in the of the coal gas through the house. With coal of stove size and larger, the spaces between the lumps permit the free passage of air, and coal gas is burned off as fast as it is produced. The flickering blue flame above a bed of fresh coal is burning coal gas. As small coal sizes pack more closely, air cannot pass through so freely, and the gas, which cannot burn without air, may collect in the Later, with a spark, there may be a puff that will blow open the A strong chimney draft may pull air through a bed of packed coal, but if there are thin places, air will rush through them with the effect of a blacksmiths forge. This is a cause of clinkering. Forced draft is sometimes used through an electric blower that forces air into the ash-pi- t. With this there is also the possibility of clinkering. But there is also a risk of coal gas trouble. If the fire has been stoked some little time before the blower ,is turned on, the space above the coal bed becomes filled with coal gas; then, with the starting up of the blower, sparks passing through will ignite the gas, and there may be an explosion. A blower is safe only with skilful stoking and with watchfulness. When small sizes are used, stoking should be by what is called the hot spot method. The first step in stoking is to rake the glowing coals into a sloping bank with the top at the level of the firing door. This leaves a cavity at the back, which is filled with new coal. Gas that is produced is then ignited by the hot spot. " While there is economy in buying coal of small size, there may not be economy in using it. Unless a furnace is adapted to it, much of the small coal will drop through the grates unburned. Besides that, much more attention is required in fire. maintaining a good B. u CHOCOLATE EVER POPULAR FLAVOR Buster Bear Said He, Why, Comes From the Great Woods, Where I Came From.
