There is an old superstition say ing that the Christmas plum pud ding will bring good fortune to all those who taste it on Christmas Day or the twelve days following Christmas but it is unlucky to eat it before the day. Also if one makes a wish on the first taste, it will be fulfilled during the year. If one tastes twelve plum puddings, preferably made by friends or neighbors, they will be happy dur ing the following twelve months of the year. Invite your friends in during one of the Christmas holidays so that good fortune will be more abundant with them during the year. Plum puddings are no longer dlf flcult to make since we don't have to seed raisins, wash and dry cur rants and all the other things our grandmothers had to do. The first step in making the pudding is to assemble all ingredients and uten sils. A steamer may easily be im provised if you haven't a regular one. Second, mix together the finely chopped suet, molasses and milk. Add eggs, then the flour sifted with spices. Prepare the fruit and mix with part of the flour. Add fruit last. Pour batter into a well-greased mold, filling it only two-thirds full. Grease the cover also. Place mold (a baking pow der or coffee can will do) in boil ing water on a rack in the steam er. Cover tightly. Keep the water boiling constantly. The following are good recipes: Plum Pudding, 4 Iba: Suet 1-2 lb. Raisins, 1-2 lb. Currants, 1-2 lb. Citron, 1-4 lb. Eggs, 5.

Counties' Part of License Money Shown in Report Interest in road - building and highway reconstruction in all parts of the state and wide discussion of these matters has brought in creased attention to the amount of motor vehicle fees collected in each county during the many years that the use of such revenue for high way purposes has been in effect The secretary of state has com piled a statement showing the gross receipts from motor vehicle license fees from January 1, 1920 to Sep tember 30, 1931, inclusive, to an swer questions concerning each county's share in the distribution of funds. Until 1930 the distribu tion to the counties was made on a basis of one-fourth of the re ceipts, but in accordance with an act of the 1929 legislature subse quent revenue has been divided on a proportion of one-third to the counties. In the period stated the state has collected total license fees of $58, 179,566.68, of which $16,325,389.36 was turned back to counties. Mor row county paid in $317,062.67 and got back $86,966.05.
