CHRISTMAS Fl'DDINGS.
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.

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.

Ethel I don't see how those fel
lows make a living.
A dab of powder
here and there
is certainly worth
the price
You know that a little powder now
and then is well worth the money
It costs. In fact, compared with the
effect, the price is so trifling you
hardly consider it at all.
Yet the cost of electricity is just as
moderate. Consider the examples be
low. They are typical. Where else
does a penny buy more than in
electric service?

The new Chevrolet Six combines the advantages of two inventions . . .
Syncro-Mesh and Free Wheeling ... to assure quick, quiet, easy gear
shifting and positive control of the car under every driving condition
One of the biggest driving thrills in mod
ern motoring is now available at one of
the very lowest prices in the automobile market.
Silent Syncro-Mesh gear-shifting is combined with simpli
fied Free Wheeling in the new and finer Chevrolet Sixt
No other car offers this double -feature for
so little money. Syncro-Mesh is rec
ognized as the most advanced type of
transmission ever developed by engi
neering science. Free Wheelingis that new,
up-to-date sensation which adds so much
to the zest of driving. The two make a
matchless combination! They bring
about an entirely new kind of driving

ease and car control, far beyond anything you have
ever enjoyed before. They give you quick, quiet, easy
shifting and complete mastery of the car, under all
conditions of road and traffic. They enable you to do
things in driving that are impossible to do in a car
without both these features.
Then, along with these two big motor
ing thrills Chevrolet offers you 60-horse-power
"Bix" performance, higher speed,
faster acceleration, greater smoothness,
smarter Fisher bodies, matchless econ
omy, and a first cost among the lowest
in the motor car market. Certainly,
it's the great American value for 1932!
