SEASONABLE IDEAS Take time to enjoy the lovely during the warm weather, for in the uorthern climate we are shut In so many weeks of the year that we need to store up "the beauty In the blossoming tree, and the message in the. wayside flower. This is the time when fruits of all kinds must be put away for winter. Just when it Is the most enjoyahle to he out of doors. If one plans ahead, much out of door life may be enjoyed in one's own back yard, or on one's porch. , The Jars for the fruit may be ster-ilized, then sealed and when cool the fruit may be picked over In some sightly spot, the Jars filled and when all are ready, filled with hot sirup, covered not too tightly, placed In the oven on a cloth or folds of paper dipped In water In a dripping pan and baked in the "oven. When the berries have boiled, remove, seal and put away for winter. This method la a good one for the busy housewife as It does away with the hot open kettle canning. The fruit has a lovely color and the flavor Is well preserved. Delicious Uncooked Grape Jelly. Crush the ripe fruit, drain and mix with twice as much sugar as Juice; stir well until the sugar Is dissolved, then pour Into Jelly glasses. The next (lay the Jelly will be firm enough to rover and pack away. Buttermilk Soup. Heat a quart of buttermilk in a double boiler; when boiling stir In two tablespoonfuls of flour that has been rubbed smooth In a little cold milk. Stir until the flour is cooked, then serve hot. Grape Sherbet. Take three pounds of Concord grapes, three lemons, three pints of water, and three cupfuls of sugar. Wash the grapes and put them Into a saucepan, mash and squeeze out all the Juice, measure the Juice, add an equal quantity of water to the sugar, boil to a rather thick sirup, cool and add more water to equal the amount before boiling, combine the fruit Juices and sirup and freeze. The causes of failure are. No posi-tive aim In life; no special prepara-tion; lack of appreciation of the many opportunities for in youth; desire to be In the swim of fashion and pleasure; haste to get rich selfishness.

Gooding had stated that he had sold all his sheep, bad been out of the sheep business for two years and then had to take 8,000 back, owing to free wool and a Democratic administration. Gooding later said he was a grower of practically all farm products and was determined to ascertain once and for all whether a man who grows agri-cultural products In this country can, without a violation of his oath, sit In the senate and defend the Interests of bis state and of agriculture generally. i ii ii m " The Bingham News Entered ajs second-clas- s matter at the postoff Ice at Bingham Canyon, Utah, under the Act ol Congress or MarcUS, 1879.

Toledo, Ohio. Flapper love, violent and passionate, but shallow and Im-potent, sent Evelyn Couture, nineteen years old, of Sylvanla, to her death by her own hand and put Kenneth P. Gumm, twenty-one- . of Toledo, In a hospital with a bullet In hla lung. Mrs. Pearl Thomas Gumm, wife of the wounded man, Is a candidate for the state senate in the primary elec-tion. She has espoused the cause of short skirts, bobbed hair and other features of a liberal platform. Wedding festivities of young Gumm and his bride of a few hours were halted by an Insistent knock on tbr Pulled the Gun and Fired. door of the bride's apartment on the evening of the wedding day. When it was answered Evelyn Couture, the sinister shadow cf the Gumms' court-ship, stood In the hall. She formerly bad held a place In Gumtn's favor. Asks Girl te Depart Mrs. Gumm, realizing that the girl was agitated over the news that young Gumm had married, asked why Mist Couture did not go away and leave them alone. "He's mine, Pearl Thomas," she d to the bride who formerly was Pearl Thomas, manicurist and artist model. Mrs. Gumm attempted to per suade the girl to go away and not make a scene on account of the mar-riage. "Oh, what's the use," she replied despondently. Then, according to Mrs. Gumm, the Couture girl asked that Mrs. Gumm step out Into the hallway, "After a recent experience with her, I was afraid to do this. Then she said she wished to see Kenneth," the bride said. "He came out of the bathroom and saw her. He said: Go home, we're married. Let us alone.' "She Insisted that she wanted to see him for a moment and came Into the room, carrying a flapper hat In her hand. Kenneth said: 'I suppose you have a gun again. Well, If you have, you might as well shoot I eat bullets.' "Of course, he didn't think she would shoot, hut she walked up te him and pulled the gun from under her hat and fired. I had started down-klair- s and turued at tle shot Sha bad thrown her arms around him. but even though wounded, he flung her from him toward a corner. Then I beard another shot. and. running hack, thought she had shot him again. When I reached the door she was falling to the floor. She had killed herself. When I saw her there, all crumpled op and Kenneth wounded. I fainted. "She didn't love Kenneth and he didn't love hei. She mlsrlit have been Infatuated with what I wouM cull flap per love, but there was nothing deep about her affection. "I truly love my husband, although It has only been In the last few weeks that we have been together murh, after a long estrangement. Dtirlne these weeks this girl contlnunlly fol-lowed us. Kenneth told me he was through with her. "As late as two nights before the wedding I wanted to terminate our friendship and give Kenneth to her If he winted to go to lier, hut he assured me that there was nothing to hli friendship with her and that he mere-ly had spent some time with the Cou-ture girl while we wore estranged.

Thompson of Cleveland (portrait herewith) won the nine-corner-race for the Republican nom-ination for governor In Ohio, which was the feature of the state primaries. Thompson was strongly supported by President Harding's administration and by the Anti-Saloo- n league. Thomp-son began life as a coal miner, became wealthy in oil, was elected secretary of state, later became treasurer of the United States, and now is engaged in the iron ore business. In nominating Thompson Ohio failed to Join Indiana, Pennsylvania and Iowa In a list of Progressive victories.

Tight wrist watch warning Neuritis In the Fingers and Hands Has Been Traced to the Pres-sure on Nerves. Be careful not to bind the strap of your wrist watch too tight. Several cases of neuritis In the fingers and hands has been traced to this cause. Dr. John S. Stopford tells In the Lan-cet of a student who experienced tin-gling pains along the Inner borders of the hand and In the little finger. These bad persisted for some time and caused discomfort and anxiety. On examina-tion a tender point was discovered on the dorsal surface of the styloid proc-ess of the ulna, and pressure In this situation caused pain to radiate from this point Into the dorsal cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve. There was no sign of paresis or atrophy of any of the intrinsic muscles of the hand, nor were any trophic changes found. On Investigating a cause for this lo-calized neuritis the only possibility appeared to be the wearing of a tight wristlet watch, which clearly could produce compression of the dorsal cu-taneous branch of thn ulnar nerve as It curved round the lower extremity of the ulna. On discarding the wrist-let the discomfort gradually disap-peared. "Hopeless." She can do about as she pleases, this little mite of six summers. While her Aunt Ellen heartily disapproves of such "goings on" and never falls to give some well-meaa- lt advice, even she cannot always suppress a smile.

Galll-Curcl'- voice poured forth In her famous "Dlnorah" record, re-marked: "Say, Aunt Ellen, how can she sing like thatr Aunt Ellen thought this a fitting occasion! on which to appeal to the child's better eoture and told her that God had be-stowed this great gift upon the singer at birth, under the tutelage of fa-mous masters, It had been brought to Its present power. Expecting some sweet childish respond, she was com-pletel- y taken off her guard at hear-ing her young relative rejoin: "Gee, God gave me some dizzy voice!" "Electrical Wizard" on Power of Radio Charles Proteus Stelnmetz, Sche-nectady, N. YH is called the "Electri-cal Wizard." In the electrical world he enjoys International reputation. Probably he Is almost as well known as Edison and Marconi. He la greatly Interested at present In the possibility of radio power transmission. He says: "In some respects radio power transmission exists today, for the message which you receive by radio has been carried by the power of the electro-magneti- c wave from the send-ing to the receiving station. How-ever, while the sending station sends out electro-magneti-c waves of some-times hundreds of kilowatts, this power scatters In all directions, and often less than a millionth of it Is received. But this small power Is sufficient, when amplified, to give us the message. "The problem of power transmis-sion essentially differs from that of the transmission for communication, aa In power transmission most or at least a large part, of the power sent out by the generating station must arrive at the receiving station, to make It economical to transmit the power. "Hence, the problem of radio power transmission is that of directing the radio waves so closely that a large part of their power remains together so as to be picked up by the receiving station. Much successful work has been done In directing radio waves, but the possibility of etouou.icttl icwer trans-mission seems remote." Bootleg. Liquor, shipped to foreign countries for storage on the eve of national pro-hibition, is gradually being brought ; back, some by smugglers, some through !rWTete channel. The to-tal of this liquor Is worth $300,000,000 In the legitimate market $1,000,000,-00- 0 If handled by bootleggers, says John D. Appleby, general prohibition agent In the New York and New Jer-sey district. At this rate, the boot-legging system takes 233 per cent profits for the risk It runs. This re-duces bootlegging to a mathematical basis, operating on the law of aver-ages. Spencer, Rationer of the Available Coal Here Is an up-to-d- portrait of Horry B. Spencer, he new federal coal administrator appointed by Pres-ident Harding. He Is a former rice president of the Southern railway and was federal purchasing agent for the war-tim- e railroad administration. He also had charge of national coal dis-tribution after the dissolution of the old fuel administration. As federal coal administrator Mr. Spencer becomes administrator mem-ber of the national coal distribution committee appointed recently by the President to ration the available coal supply. Twenty-thre- states, through their governors, have undertaKen to erect the necessary administration to con-trol profiteering and coal distribution. Kansas already lias nn establishment under Its Industrial court. Special priority orders for the . shipment of fuel to railroads whose it y v - ; J coal fcupi'ly Is running dangerously low have Peen nnuer consideration by Federal Fuel Distributor Spencer and the central coal committee. The question of diversion of coal under contract to railroad uses was discussed by the committee and the opinion expressed that, under existing laws dealers could not be held on their contracts In cases where they diverted coal to carriers upon instructions from the emergency coal control organisation.
