Smith is the local director. At least one thousand cows must be signed up before the work can be started and on the Umatilla project there are 2500 cows so it is thought that there will be no difficulty in getting enough signers. The stock and equipment of the Hermiston cream ery have been appraised and there is a possibility that it may be pur chased. As plans now stand trucks will pick up the cream here often enough for it to be sweet as it is planned to make 92 score butter. The butter will be handled through the Interstate Dairy association which specializes in handling the products of cooperatives. The Co op will sell shares costixig ?10 for each cow. This cost will be easily met for only an initial cost of $1 down is to be made, the balance will be met by deducting 25c a month for each cow until the entire sum is paid. A successful cooperative creamery is usually able to pay from 3 to five cents over Portland prices so this should cover the cost of the shares by a large margin. It is to be hoped that this venture will prove a success. Other coop eratives in the state have been very successful. The contest for district six, eighth annual national oratorical contest, is to be held Friday at Pendleton, at the Library auditorium, accord ing to C. C.

Tune in KGW Wednes day, 9:45 a. m., or KHQ Wednesday, 11:30 a. m. 3-5 ABOUT SHOME By JESSIE E. FAUITXB Home Economics Instructor Heppner High School PASTRY SECRETS One of the tests of a good cook is the skill with which she can turn out delicious pies. Pastry Is one of the most difficult things to make but with a little practice and care ful manipulation one may excel in the art of pastry making. There are three methods of mak ing pastry, but the one which is al most "fool-proof is the hot-water pastry which seldom fails to be ten der and flaky. The recipe for Hot Water Pastry for a two-crust pie is as follows: flour 1WC, salt, tea spoon, boiling water Y cup, lard M C, baking powder teaspoon. Heat the bowl with boiling water. Put in fat, beat till smooth. Then add the salt and flour sifted with the baking powder; beat until smooth, large ball forms on spoon. Chill before rolling out or let it stand 15 to 20 minutes. The second method is often call ed Plain Pastry. For a two crust pie, use flour 1 C, ice water 4 ta blespoons, lard 6 to 8 T., salt tea spoon. Have ingredients, room and hands cool in making pastry. Han dle mixture quickly and lightly. Sift flour with salt twice. Chop in fat with knives or fingers until mix ture is very coarse and granular in appearance. Work in water lightly with a knife until little balls of dough just hold together in a large ball, being as stiff as possible. The third method uses the same proportions of ingredients as Meth do II. Follow instructions for Meth od II but chop in only one-half of the fat to be used. The remaining fat, in small pieces, is spread on top of the dough after it has been roll ed out to one-eighth inch in thick ness. Roll up like a jelly-roll and roll out again to fit pie tin. When roling pastry roll only half of the dough at a time. Place on a slightly dredged board and with floured rolling pin roll lightly to one-eighth inch thickness; work from center of dough. Move dough frequently but keep the same side up all the time. If dough is too tender to fold In half and slip in pie tin, gently roll it up like a jelly roll, place in the pie tin and unroll. There is little danger this way of tearing the dough. Shrink to fit the ungreased pan. For a one-crust pie have the edge of the dough about one inch larger than the pan and double under to form a firm edge to the pie. Bake it on the bottom of the tin in which you are going to bake it when filled. One crust pies are baked in a very hot oven, 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Prick well with a fork to prevent bubbles. For a two-crust pie use two-thirds of the dough for the under crust Roll it out to about one-eighth inch in thickness, keeping it as nearly round as possible. Fold sheet of pastry in half and place in pie tin. Unfold, press lightly so that it fits the pan. Hold the pie pan in the left hand, slant knife away from the body to trim off the lower crust Roll upper crust one-half inch larg er than the, pan and prick well. With cold water moisten the outer edge of the lower crust and lay on it the upper crust Fold upper crust under edge of lower crust and press with fingers or fork to keep the juices of the pie in. Point to remember in making pas try: 1. Use a light touch in all pro cesses. 2. Use as little flour in roll ing as possible. 3. Too much water is one of the commonest causes of tough pastry. 4. Pastry shells should be pricked thoroughly before baking and should be cooled before placing the filling in them. Cool fill ing before placing in pastry shells. 6. When making a double crust pie, get both crusts ready before putting filling into under crust Bake as soon as possible after filling. 7. Bake double crust pies with raw materials for fillings in a hot oven, 450 degrees F.( for 40 minutes, re ducing the heat at the last COMMITTED TO ASYLUM. Archie D.

How much? Well, it's past the power of comprehension. The Am erican value of these coins was only 6 cents, yet they would have earned at compound interest during the past 2,500 years a ball of gold 62 times as large as this earth, so the New Yoker says.
