Just what petit fours are, per haps only the French epicurean can tell. Bat In par country they are generally considered as tiny cakes gaily adorned with colored frosting. Let it not matter what you call them, petit fours, or French pas try, we must hare wee cakes for a May party. And a May party cne must have a May party, if It is the only festivity in the year. .There s no other month so charm ing. ""' : Let the petit lours be your own, mixed in your own kitchen, baked in your own oven and decorated by yourself to your own taste. Then you will have the exquisite delight which the fancy baker knows - in creating beauty, for these little cakes may be as ar tistic as your hand and eye will admit. Ergo one big cake U baked In a sheet, and- the little cakes cut from It and ornamented. A com . mon, butter cake may be used. lalthoogh the sponge cakes are less 'crumbly. Following are two rules 'which are particularly fine, espe "ciaMy the first. The cres i, cent cake, too, is good. It rises higher, is not so compact in tex- ;tare as the butter sponge, and is drier. :r Butter Sponge for French Pas try or Petit Fours 1 whole egg, and 3 egg yolks, " S tbsp. sugar, . , 2 hi tbsp. corn starch, ; 6 tbsp. Rex flour, 3 tbsp. melted butter. Place eggs and sugar in the top of double boiler. Beat while heat ing the mixtare to about blood temperature, or a iittle warmer Ithan lukewarm. Sift the flour and corn starch together. Mix into tbe egg mixture as lightly as pos sible. Then add the melted but ter, mixing all the time. Turn Into a greased pan, and bake in a ; moderate oven, 325 degrees F:, 'for 20 to 30 minutes. As soon as done, turn from pan, let cool, 'and cut into small shapes for tiny cakes. This will make a cake 9 ty 13 inches, and about an inch deep. i When this cake is being mixed, the batter looks rather strange, 'bnt don't worry. It will come out of the oven all right. , Crescent Cake cup sugar, cup butter, 3 eggs, 1 cup Rex flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, tsp. vanilla. Cream batter -and sugar, add eggs, flour, and baking powder sifted together and then the flavor ing. Mix well. ; Spread about one inch thick in a greased and floured pan. Bake in a moderate oven about 325 degrees F. When cold, turn upside down. Cut into cres cent shapes and ice. Any kind of shapes that you fancy may.be used for tbe little cakes; rounds, triangles, squares, cblongs. stars, crescents, rectang les. You may cut free-hapd with a sharp knife,. or use a cookie cut ter, i There are , a variety of icings ! which may be used. Sometimes the little shapes are brushed with egg white and allowed to dry, so that the crumbs will not get into the icing, and, the takes then dipped into melted fondant. - The white mountain cream frost ing which was given several weeks ago covers the little cakes beauti f ally and so does boiled icing. If the cakes are not to be fondant dipped, I think tt Is unnecessary to coat them with egg white. A good covering can be made of a thin confectioner's sugar and water- icing. Some covering Js preferable so that the decoration of the colored butter icing will show off to best advantage. Batter Cream Icing r 1-3 cup butter, . 1M cupa confectioner's sugar.

Naturally it is a pale yellow from the egg yolk. I always di vide the icing into several small dishes, coloring some of it laven der, some rose, some green, some orange, etc. Tbe butter Icing is preferable to the ornamental icing made of egg white and powdered sugar, because it does not harden, and is more delicious. Of course one can do the best job of adornment with a cake decorating set, consisting of a metal tube with plunger and a variety of tubes. However, I am perfectly satisfied it I .can have a variety of tubes and make either cloth or paper bags. One can even get effective designs with pa perl A corner of a paper envelope can be filled with frosting, a hoi 3 cut at the tip and the frosting forced out, and onto the little; cakes in initials, or ribbons, or de signs. 11 tne hole is notched a little, the frosting will come out in a more Interesting design. Sheets of clean paper can be rolled into small cornucopias, the points cut and the frosting forced out through the same as through tbe corner of the envelope. Practice will give you skill in cake decoration. xou will not waste so much sugar if you prac tice with soft mashed potatoes or Crisco. decorating saucers and plates, and finding out all of the things that you can make. Use your imagination. Try anything that comes to your mind or hand. Make scallops and fluting and Jiggling bands and ribbons. Tip your tube in different directions. try little squeezes and big squeez es. Look at real flowers and see if you can't make crab apple blos soms, violets, sweet peas, lilies of the valley and daisies bloom on top of the French pastries. Questions are often asked about colorings. Th vegetable color ings are guaranteed not to be harmful. They can be gotten either as paste or liquid. Beware of making your colors too strong, but still they should be fresh and interesting. With ingenuity you can make a special little cake for eac.i guest. If you're skillful with a brush you can paint designs on the top of white cakes, using vegetable col 01 ing dissolved in a little water. hew iwcorporatiohs Ulrich, Conn & Bentley, Inc.. with capital stock of 13000, filed articles in the state corporation department here today.

I well know the strug gles yon have had politically, and the time has come when the state of Oregon needs wakentng and should be more liberal in making the State University what it ought to be, the greatest Institution of learning in a great and wonder ful state. I have met a great many old friends here from whom I. have known favorably for nearly fifty years, and I find in them the same spirit of optimism that they need ed so much in the early days when pioneer work needed to be done, which means constant self-sacrifice. This leads me up to what I want to say to you tonight. I notice you are drilling for the golden flow of oil that has made so many present day millionaires, and in examining both your loca tion and your efforts, I find from the log and surroundings that you have quite a favorable location and should meet with success. Your log indicates -a great deal of wash, evidencing great depth for regular formation. But your work is in charge of competent drillers. My experience in oil fields for the past fifteen years enables me to judge men, and you have in Mr. Reeves a very able and con cientlous driller. Owing to the fact that you have reached , the depth of over 3000 feet without any loss and still retain an open hole of over six inches in the clear, you will be able to get to a much greater depth! You are at present drilling on a capping that -indicates, if all signs do not fail, and according to my best judgment, that this capping covers a large body of commercial gas or oil and you have absolutely no reason for u. s.

To tbe contrary, I think that from now on yon ought ib be more enthusiastic in backing the proposition to the limit. Men who are pioneers in an an dertaking of this kind usually get lKtle benefit because of the enorm ous costs entailed, unless protect ed by sufficient lease holds, while the wolves abide their time and without contribution or work, take advantage of others efforts and reap the benefit. Drilling for gas or oil in a new district, or what is usually called "wild cat ting," is an undertaking that the community as a. whole should be iaterested in, so as to relieve the burden from the few. Win Benefit Whole Valley If oil is struck at Eugene, it will benefit the entire valley. It means doubling and tripling of values In real estate, commercial business, supplies and every con ceivable line of business in this city and throughout the valley, even distant Portland would feel the charm of the discovery of oil at Eugene. If you have any patriotism and love of your state at heart, do not wait until the solicitor comes to you urging upon you an interest In this under-taking, but send your check to the management, which I know is in splendid hands. Address your letter to the Guar anty Oil company, 414 Miner building, Eugene, Ore., and trust that every dollar will be honestly expended for your benefit and for the community. Thus will you be one of the pioneers for the discov ery in this state of LIQUID GOLD that will bring millions to your doors. I have no personal interest in this matter except now as a visi tor and one who desires to wish you well and ail the success in the world, and I hope that my statements may give you courage in your undertaking. Thank you.

", ; ' ' PROSPECTS FOR 9 GOOD F Prunes Will Be Short, but In dications in .Other Fruits Are All Right Fruit prospects in the territory adjacent to Salem vary with dif ferent localities; v conditions of elevation and frost encountered. On the whole the .outlook, on ac count of, the great diversity In varieties in the general crop, is fair. In an interview with S. H.Van Trump, Marion county's fruit in spector, the following situation generally is summarized. Cher ries, except Lamberts, should be, if allowed to develop under favor able conditions from now 'until ripe, a normal crop. The Royal Annes should be an abnormally large crop, judging 8 from their heavy setting. Lamberts on the low lands approach a normal, con dition, but on some of the high spots the loss will be considerable, as indicated by the percentage of dormant fruit spurs. Prunes Light Crop Prunes will be a very light crop. In old orchards there is an almost complete drop. In a few young orchards conditions are better and about' a half crop may be expected. Exception to the general 'condition is noted, how ever, in an orchard near Salem and which was pruned heavily two years ago and where now the pros pects are fair for a normal crop. The petite variety gives evidence of a normal production. This var iety ripened early last season, with the result that the fruit spurs were dry at the' opening of winter weather and withstood well the succeeding cold and frost. The Italian variety ripened later, the fruit spurs were soft at the ar rival of winter and were injured by the freezes. Apples were an especially heavy crop la-st year and the fruit buds are not numerous this spring. From the commercial orchards about 30 per cent normal crop may be expected.

In some places the yield bas been shortened by frosts. February freeees followed bytjold winds idled' -put and killed the canes in some instances. In some yards the yield will not exceed 5 per cen of normal crop. On hillsides generally, however, less damage occurred from freezing and the yield win be heavier than in the lower places.
