Give Program The children of the Shanghai school, with their teacher, Mrs. Ward Miller, held a Hallowe'en party yes terday afternoon at the school. There were all the Interesting games of the particular season and the pupils fur nished the cookies and the teacher the cider, for the lunch which, fin ished the happy affair. The Lone Star school, of which Miss Gladys Billings is the teacher, had their party last evening and we hope for a full account of It, also. Has Birthday Bobby Chenault, of the Iowa dis trict was nine years old Sunday. We were about to say that he spent the day quietly, but no, he had for his guest, Glfford Hulse, of the Lone Star neighborhood and those who are fa miliar with these two lads, know that no celebration In which they figured could be exactly "quiet." But they had a happy day together and their mothers are still alive, perhaps even without any more gray hairs, and so everything 1b lovely.- The Fisher Sale The public Bale of tho property of the late Julius Fisher, of Lower Cove, held last Tuesday was probably one of the largest sales ever held In the county. The nearest estimate of the attendance, we think should be quite accurate. The women who served the lunch had secured 1000 plates and these had to be supplemented by others before the company had been served. While practically all of the things were sold, the prices were In variably low. It Is reported. The Fish er dairy herd was one of the best in Eastern Oregon and we are told the highest price any of the animals brought was around $45, running as low as in the teens. The lunch at noon consisted of baked beans, po tato salad, sandwiches and coffee, Mrs. Fisher and Lovene Williams be ing assisted by Mines. Christ Bertsch, R. S. Corns toe k, Albert Becker, A. V. Fisher, Lee Childers, Earnle Miller. George Gray, Agnes Morris, Jay Breshears, Alta Howell and Maude Webber. Oct Buck J. H. Berry, of tho Iowa district, and Gene Oswald were among the late hunters In the mountains and Mr. Oswald brought out a big buck which weighed 250 pounds dressed and so big it had to be brought out In pieces. The men did their hunting on the Dead Horse Flats.

(Special) A con siderable amount of moisture has fallen In thla county during the past week. With a few light showera of rain during the early part of the week the weather became somewhat colder with some anow on Friday ana Saturday. The anow melted as fast as It fell In the lower portions of the community. However, further back In the hills reports state tho ground , - , ' - of Farmers are muoh pleased to see more the B'outui occurs. Tho delayed fall wheat Is said to be coming along In fair ehape at thla time. Some of the grain came up sn after aeedlng, but many of the neias were, far too dry to allow gor- n mat lon of tho seed until during the i past week. Many do not expect to see the grain get much of a start this fall, but farmers feel that If It becomes sprouted and some of It up, that' It will have- a fair chance of coming through tho win tor ln good shape. Grass is starting very slowly In tho dry portions of the county and unless there Is still several weeks mild weather but little green feed will be available this fall. Many of the stockmen have been busy during tho past week or two gathering some of their cattle which have been held on tho late summer ranges. Short feed at many places has caused some of the Btock to bo come quite badly scattered and many aro having some difficulty In getting their stock all gathered. The most of the Irrigated farmB ln tho valley hava been heavily pastured during the past several, weeks and forage at most places la becoming quite short. A number of the larger dairymen report they are feeding their dairy herds all tho hay they will eat at this time ln an effort to hold up milk production. J. F. Fishei made a trip to Swamp creek the early part of the week and purchased a number of high class Hoist el n cows. This is the second purchase Mr. Fish er has made from that district this fall, getting 39 head ln all, many or which are fresh and others that will freshen early in the winter. Thore appears to be but littlo ac tivity In hay sales yet ln this see tlon. not enough has been sold to establish a price. However, report state that one or two largo lots of hay have been offered for sate at $6 per ton. Hay supplies appear to be much more plentiful at most farms than last year. HEALTHFUL, INEXPENSIVE FOOD tics of youth. mi,, Whole wheat products which aro milled at-home or under homo super vision, contain tho entire- grain. Tho germ has been romovod from much commercial whole wheat. The germ contains considerable fat and there fore wheat containing tho germ does not keep for many weeks. Prepare cracked wheat and home ground flour only ln quantities sufficient for early consumption. Hard wheat flour contains more gluten than soft wheat flour and is suitable for bread making; soft wheat flour contains more starch than hard wheat and is sultablo for cakes and pastries. . In order to obtain a balanced diet, wheat products must bo supplement ed by an adequate supply of milk, vegetables, fruit, and eggs, meat, or fish. Those foods that may be re placed by whole wheat products are commercially propared breakfast foods, rice, macaroni, spaghetti, white flour, and products made from it such as white bread and crackers. Cleaning Whole Wheat dm hi To clean wheat at home, place ln a broad pan, add considerable water and stir. Most of the oats, chaff and other impurities will rise to the top. Pour these off Into a elevo or strainer, not directly Into tho sink. Repeat washing. Look over romalnlng grain, a handful at a time, and remove utiv dcslrablo korncls or othor impurities, If flour Is to bo made from, washed wheat, spread on clean paper or pann and dry In sun, warm room, or sight ly warm oven with door left open, (irlndliig Whole Uncut i Whole wheat may be ground Into flour at home In a hand or power grist min.

When making flour at homo, shako the milled product through flour sifter, and regrind the larger partlo!os sev eral times if necessary. Cracked wheat can bo purchased a such at feed stores or mills, xr li can bo mad0 at homo by grinding cleaned soaked wheat in a food chop- ping machine or coffoo mill. Cracked wheat cooks to a more mushy, atili consistency than does the whole grain. Whole and cracked wheat may bo uflcd Interchangeably In most of the recipes given below, Cooking Whole Wheat To one cup of washed whole wheat, add 2 cups of hot water and 1 -:ovci teaspoon of salt. Boll over direct neat ln top of double boiler or similar utensil 5 minutes. Placo covered saucepan of wheat In pan of boiling water and let stand over night or for several hours. Heat can bo retained longer by use of fire less cooker or other insulation, or by placing double boilor In oven over night. Next morning, add 1 more cup of hot water or milk to each cup of dry wheat UBed, and cook In double boiler until tondor, usually about an hour. If cracked wheat is desired rather than whol0 grains, proceed as do- scribed above up to point or secona cooking. Then put tho partly cooked wheat through tho food choppor in tho morning beforo finishing tho cooking. Wheat can be cooked without tho over-night process by placing 1 cup lof wheat, 3 cups of hot water, and 1 j teaspoon of salt in double boiler and cooking without stirring 3 to 4 hours. Wheat can bo cooked ln a steam pressure cooker by placing In a pan 1 cup wheat, 1 cupa of hot water, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cooxlng at 15 pounds pressure for l'fc hours. Allow pressure to return to aero be fore opening petcock. Parboiling wheat In soda helps to soften the grains. If this method Is used, add 1 teaspoon or soda to I quart of boiling water and drain off 'liquid after boiling an hour, I'm of Plain. Itnllrd, or Steamed 2 to 3 cups of the cooked wheat. It Is economical to cook a large amount of wheat at one time and use It In several different dUhes Nhca of Plain, Hollcd, or Steamed Wheat or Wheal Hominy 1.
