TO MOTIIERH AXI F:TMFItS
Ten thousand Junes have scattered their roses and romances
across the pathway or mankind, poets have chronicled in im
mortal song the loves of Pyramus and Thlsbe and Uomco and
Juliet, and kingdoms have been taxed and slaves have toiled to
provide the pomp and splendor that attended the nuptial rites
of some prince and princess of the blood, yet they all pale to
insignificance beside the service, humble though it may be, that
separates your 'daughter and my son from tin parental rouf this
June and places upon them the responsibility of making a home
of their own.
Why. It is only a few brief Junes ngn that wo ourselves
pronounced those sacred vo wit, that we, secure In our love, stood
ut this same high point of lift and looked uh'-ad through a
rosente vista of years. Dreams there were that never could
come true, vain hopes that life llko a wise moth ft gently re
moved from our hands but all of whle.h played their important
part In shuplng the fleeting years, .
There have been hard lessons to learn, mistakes that we
made, sorrows thai brought us, doubting, to our knees! Krom
these we fain would shield the young folks who are starting nut
so confidently this June, jiut our experience, the wisdom 'that
we have painstakingly acquired and which we would so eagerly
imparl. Is of no avail lo anyone but ourselves, for nature has
decreed that each succeeding generation must make Us own
adjustments, garner its own experience and adapt itnelf to her
immutable laws. (
It Is going to be difficult O mother and father! to sit idly
by and watch these youngsters so dear lo our hearts take wrong
courses, make false moves and nil but crush themselves against
the .unyielding facts of life. Jt is going to be difficult, but It is
going to be necessary, for they must bear their own burdens and
through their own efforts rise above defeats if they are to de
velop the character and the moral stamina required to rear their
children and to take their places as responsible and respected
units In the social scheme.- Editorial Woman's World.

Macaroni and Spa
' ghetti for Variety
Macaroni and spaghetti are; nu
tritious vet inexpensive so why not
utU7.e more of it in our diets?
Many of us think of it as food for
those of Italian descent so fail to
add It to our menus.
From historical reports It seems
that Italy was the duly nation en
Joying macaroni during tho four
teenth century because she held
I he secret of its manufacture.
Both spaghetti and macaroni
must be made from hard wheat
flour. This Is thoroughly mixed
with u small quantity of boiling
water. The dough Is then worked
In a machine until it is smooth
and tough. This tough dough Is
nlaced In a strong press where it
is passed out 'through small holes
of a perforated plate. The short
sizes are sliced off at the desired
length ns the dough is pressed
through the perforated disk
These long or short strings must
)ft dried. In Italy they nrc exposed
eggs, beet juice, and spinach juice.
Italian manufacturers make the
macaroni dough into many, many
shapes. These attractive shnpes
are very decorative when used In
soup: u few letters or fancy pieces
added, to a bowl of soup stock
makes a company dish of it. Chil
dren will eat1 the soup much more
readily because they are anxious to
jfind nil the pictures they can.
Regardless of what the final np
t pearance of the dish Is to be the
; preparation of the macaroni for
i use Is practically the same. The
dried product should he placed In
I boiling salt . water and the water
'must he kept boiling from twenty
to thirty minutes that Is until It
1 is tender. f When this is done the
: water may be drained off and the
j macaroni Is ready to have any
! seasonings desired added,
t Perhaps all of you have had
: difficulty at times with soft, mushy
macaroni. That is because the
water in which you stnrted It to
cook Is not hot enough. After the
product Is cooked It may be made
somewhat firmer If It is blanched
in cold wnter.

' It is not raining rain to me

Robert Loveman.
Karly flowering shrubs should be pruned ns soon as they're
through blooming. That starts the new wood for next season's
bloom. - ,
There uro few better flowers than four-o'clocks to give your
4 garden that sweet old fashioned touch. You can still plant them
for lute bloom and in almost any sunny spot of well-drained
I soil.
I Chickweed in your lawn? Sprinkle the lawn lightly with
' ammonium sulphate or ammouiu in phosphate, let stand a couple
of days and water if It doesn't rain. This will kill the chick-
) S weed and help the grass if too much' isn't used.
4 It's easy to start new shrubs from uny sort that has drooping
branches. Simply bend down a branch, cover with earth be-
j tween the end and the parent plunt, and weight with a stone to
: 4 hold the branch in place. Leave until roots form, then cut off
t the branch and set where wanted.
4 If you have un oleander and youngsters In the house, don't
forget that the flowers are poisonous. An oleander Is pretty,
j hut wo prefer something safer.

leaving a five-foot length above

Tomatoes wunt only fairly rich
soil. Too much food sends them
to leaves at the expensn of fruit

mended. Set the stake first nnd
