State Candidates File Statements. All candidates In the recent state wide primaries have submitted their final statements of expenses. Very few of the candidates reported any considerable expenses. In addition to the amounts certified to in their first filings. Lieutenant Governor Daught ridge reported something over $300 additional expenses after his first statement. The biggest expense ac counts in the final stretch were Lieu- tenant Governor Daughtrldge, Colonel J. Bryan Grimes and J. A. Hartnesa for secretary of state. Announces Prize For Corn Club Boy A list of corn club prizes, including four scholarships to the A. & M. Col lege, offered by four North Carolina congressmen to their respective dis tricts was announced by Mr. T. E. Browne, director of Boys' Corn Club work in North Carolina. The con gressmen offering scholarships are: John H. Small, Robert N. Page, R. L. Doughton, E. Y. Webb. In his letter to the corn olub members, Mr. Browne called attention to the points upon which the contestants will be Judged: Yield will count thirty, profit thirty, written history twenty, and ten ear exhibit twenty. The list of prizes is as follows: A gold medal for the best record In North Carolina, offered by the Pro gressive Farmer.

The State Fair, offers 53 premiums totalling over $150.00, for which you may compete Status of New Military Companies. Special from Hendersonville. In the opinion of Governor Craig, the state's chief executive has no author ity to grant the organization of any military companies in the state until the guard as now constituted be mus tered into the Federal service. These new companies will not go Into the United States army under the present order, but would go in if the president should call for additional troops. This information was conveyed in a letter from the governor to Ex-Judge H. G. Ewart of this city, who several days ago wrote Governor Craig offer ing his services to the state and obli gating himself to raise a full company of militia in this and adjoining coun ties. Ml3s Jones Is Governor's Sscretary. Miss May F. Jones, of Asheville, be comes private secretary to Governor Craig and J. J. Mackay, Jr., heretofore executive clerk, is promoted to the place of executive secretary. Miss Jones succeeds the late J. P. Kerr of Asheville, who served as private sec retary throughout the Craig admlnis tration until his death two weeks ago. The appointment for executive clerk to succeed Mr. Mackay has not been announced. It is understood that Asheville. the home town of the gov ernor, will get the appointment. Governor Craig says he wants it un- derstood that the appointment is no ndication that he Is a suffragist. The Bayboro Land and Lumber Co. gave notice of reduction of common stock from $150,000 to $15,000. North Carolina Leads South. That North Carolina led the South n the production of gold during the calendar year of 1915 is the Interest ing Information contained in the bul letin of the Bureau of the Mint and the geology survey that has Just been Issued. During the calendar year, North Carolina produced 8.258 fine ounces of gold, valued at $170,700 whereas Georgia, the next nearest Southern competitor, onJy produced 1.C84 fine ounces valued at $34,800. South Carolina's yield was only 174 fine ounces valued at $3,600. North Carolina's yield of silver was also ahead of any other Southern State, with 1.496 fine ounces valued at 700 whereas Georgia's Bilver yield was only 141 fine ounces valued at $100, California and Colorado In the order named, are the leading gold produclnz states in the Union, with 1,090,731 and 1 09.928 fine ounce respectively, vaMod at $22,547 400 and $22,530,800. Alaska was third in gold production with 808.346 fine ounces valued at $16, 710 000. In the production of cllvr. Nevada ranked first with 14.451,085 pr.e ounces; Montana second with 14 j 423.173 fine ounce. JU rwMdN ImF n , Cir& r - ' t"T ' - PASTIME SUITS Blessings doubtless rest upon the .lead of the designer who originated those pretty cotton costumes for sum mer days which are coming to be classed as pastime suits. When com fort and style and daintiness present themselves all combined, and at a small cost, they are irresistible. These things have made the instant success of the cotton suit for summer outing wear. . Cotton poplin or cotton gabardine are of ubout the right weight for suits of this kind, and there are other fab rics that are well suited to them, as crash or ratine and fancy basket weaves. The suit shown in the pic ture Is of gabardine, with collar, cuffs and pocket flaps of brocaded ratine. White is as good a choice as any for the skirt and blouse and there are many striped and figured cotton goods that will answer for the trimmings. The suit pictured hardly needs a de scription. It is merely a plain skirt with a wide hem and a single narrow WAYS AND MEANS OF There Is no such word as "plain" in the bright lexicon of summer para sols. Along with other modes they take their place in the ranks of things made gay and colorful by elaboration of some sort. If one possesses a per fectly good, plain silk parasol In any color It offers a surface as a back ground for - some sort of decoration, and many are the adornments that may be called upon to redeem It from a suggestion of last year. Inserts of striped or figured ribbons, let In with hemstitching, as borders or panels, will bring the plain parasol of yesterday up to the minute. Those who are clever at painting take their brush In hand and with oil paints cause flowers to bloom or fruits to ripen or birds to fly across the field of plain silk. Embroidery, in colored Ilks, translates the fancies of the In dividual in nil these things and in butterflies, dnigontlles. and conven tional it;ures on the unadorned sur face of the parasol f other days. But ktxmt .he efisJNt and cleverest h i 7 mt0m V V' ' 1 FOR OUTING WEAR. tuck to make It set modish at the bot torn. Actual pockets, a concession to practicability, are let in at each side. The blouse Is roomy with a belt to partially confine it at the waistline, made of the same goods. Oe end of it slips through a slash In the other end and both are supplied with but tonholes that fasten over buttons of white bone. The blouse fastens with snap fasteners down the front. A neat finish is given to the deep cuffs and rolling collar by a narrow piping of the plain material used for the suit. But this piping has another function and that is to give to these acces sories the proper set. The ambitious girl who wishes to experiment in making things for her self might try her hand upon a suit of this kind. Nearly all the work is done on the sewing machine, the fit of the blouse is vague and the skirt presents no difficulties. All she has to do Is to buy a paper pattern and follow its instructions. ADORNIN3 PARASOLS. method of furbishing up a silk sun shade is that employed on the para sols shown In the picture. Out of figured or flowered brocade or cre tonne, birds and blossoms, or any oth er figures, are cut. By means of ad heslves, made for use on textiles, those are glued to the silk. The illusion of painting Is perfect. Whole flocks of small bluebirds are pictured In flight against a background of white or light-colored silk. Other birds, of tropical climes perhaps, disport their gay plumage In this way, and the won derful, roses and foliage that are the product of the looms find the parasol a point of vantage for setting off the'r beauty. Artificial flowers are used with this flat applique In still another kind of adornment. Foliage is applied to the silk to make a setting for an orchid t rose that Is set on It. The fo'.lage Is plued down and often finished about the edjees with needlework stitches, Lut the flower is only fastened by tht stem. FAT FOR CHILDREN FORMS A MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR DIET. If Milk and Salad Oils Are Fed in Any Quantities It Is Well to Avoid Other Foods That Contain Much Fat. Fat Is an important part of the food of children. This is not surprising, for it is found in considerable amounts in human milk, the natural food for ba bies. Butter, which consists chiefly of separated milk fat, and cream, which is rich in milk fat and also In the other nourishing substances of milk, are both wholesome. Salad oils of various kinds (olive, cottonseed, peanut and others) may be given to children in small amounts. Those who are not used to table oil must often be trained to like It. This can usually be done by introducing it very gradu ally into the diet. A good way to serve It is on spinach and other greens or on tender salad vegetables. There Is more than an ounce of fat (at least 2 level tablespoonfuls) in a quart of whole milk. If the healthy child Is given a quart of milk, has but ter on Its bread, and meat or an egg once a day, he gets enough fat, and that which he receives Is In wholesome form. It Is well, therefore, not to give such fatty foods as pastry, fried meats and vegetables, and doughnuts or rich cakes, for in these the fats are not In so good a form for children, as experience has shown. If the child is constipated, the occasional use of cream or salad oil Is desirable, for fat in abundare is laxative. Bacon or salt pork, cut very thin and carefully cooked, may be given occa sionally, but thick pieces with much lean are not desirable. In preparing bacon or salt pork It Is very Important not to burn the fat. To avoid this they should be cooked In one of the follow ing ways: Put the slices on a broiler or wire frame over a pan; place the pan Into a hot oven and cook long enough to remove most of the fat. Or keep a pan on purpose for cooking ba con on top of a stove and let the fat which fries out of It collect In the pan, taking care that none is burned. In time so much fat will collect that ba con can be dropped Into this hot fat. and will be less likely to burn than if aced on a hot pan. Farmers' Bulle tin 717, "Food for Young Children." To Make Spice Cake. Spice cake which keeps well may be made as follows : Cream one cupful of sugar and one cupful of butter (or one cupful of butter and lard mixed), add one cupful of strong coffee, two lightly beaten eggs, one and one-half teaspoonfuls soda dissolved in a table spoonful boiling water ; one teaspoon- ful each of cinnamon, cloves, allspice and one-half of a nutmeg (grated). one-fourth teaspoonful salt, one-fourth pound raisins or currants and two and one-half cupfuls of flour sifted twice. Stir well and bake three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven. Candied Grapefruit Homemade candled grapefruit rind is delicious, and here is the method to make it: An excellent candy can be made from grapefruit rind. Cut rind into strips one inch long and half lech wide. Soak In a brine made of one cupful of salt to two cupfuls of water for 24 hours. Then put in water and cook until tender. Drain and cook again in a sirup of two cupfuls of sugar to one cupful of water for one hour. Take out the pieces and roll in granulated sugar and lay on plates to dry. Irish Bisque. Bring one quart of new milk to a ooll, dissolving In It one pint of granu lated sugar. When this mixture Is cool, add a quart of whipped cream, a tea spoonful of vanilla and freeze until it is the consistency of mush. Remove the dasher, add wine glass of sherry, and a coffeecupful of macaroons ground very fine. Color to the right shade of green with vegetable color ing matter, pack and set away to harden. This is nn excellent substi tute for pistachio, the green ice cream offered by caterers. Chicken Broth. One chicken or fowl, one carrot, one onion, one turnip, two stalks celery, one teaspoonful salt, two tablespoon fuls flour, two tablespoonfuls barley, three pints water. Cut the vegetables up. lay them at the bottom of a stewpan, on them place the Joints of the fowl, and add the water and barley; simmer slowly two and one-half hours, moisten the flour with a little water, add it and the salt to the broth, stir till the flour thickens, strain and serve. Fine Grained Cake. One egg, one cupful sugar, one-half cupful of butter, one and one-half cup fuls flour, one and one-half teaspoon fuls baking powder, one-half cupful milk, flavor. Bake In round tins. Put together with jelly. Frost with a table spoonful butter, one cupful of powdered sugar, little milk and flavor. Mock Champagne. For the blistering August days is a drink of cider prepared so that it has all the sparkle and luster of cham pagne and enough of the taste to de ceive. Get fresh sweet cider, boll It down half and put away In sealed bot tles. Served with a carbonated wate it is unexcelled. GARDENS AND CHILD WELFARE Experiment Being Made In New York Is of Interest to the Entire Country. Of far more than ordinary interest .s an experiment conducted this spring In New York. There, under the di rection of the International Child Wel fare league, and with the co-operation of state and federal departments, a practical demonstration of the value of vacant-lot gardening for children is being made. At first It will be con fined to Westchester county, where It began in February under the guidance of President Jarvis of the Connecticut School of Agriculture. Outlining the purposes of the experiment, an officer of the league says: "We believe that to abolish child labor we must do constructive work. It has been found by actual practice that where children have taken up gardening they can earn more In a summer In that work than they can during an entire year in a factory. The garden products of the children are used first for the family and the sur plus is then marketed. "When the parents find that the children can make more money in this way they will be willing to allow them to remain longer in school to prepare them for better positions. In the meantime the children have been building character as well as building themselves up physically. Taking the children from the factories will lessen the number of the unemployed. There are now 1,500,000 children in the fac tories and there are 1,000,000 unem ployed. When we are able to take the children from the factories we will leave their positions for the adults who are now idle." OPEN CENTER A NECESSITY For Appearance's Sake Such a Plan for Landscape Gardening Should Always Be Followed. It seems quite difficult to get the masses to observe the most ordinary rules of landscape gardening when planting small places, though some of these rules are common to all styles of gardening and their observance so nec essary to order that "he who runs may read." The one great fundamen tal law which should govern all plan ning is the preservation of open lawn centers. Too many planters, having at their disposal but a small front lawn, usually bisected by a walk to the front door, feel It Incumbent upon them to plant one or two, or more large objects, often, very often, two large palms. Having thus planted, it Is quite impossible to stand in the center of your landscape and view a fine variety of plants about you, as you should be able to do. Those who have lived la the Eastern States will recall seeing little openings, or nat ural "clearings" In the woods, of one or many acres. Though in the midst of forest trees, the floor of the open ing is Inviolate, not a tree upon It. Grass and low, flowering herbs cover the floor, bushes about the edges ; next, small trees, and then the woods or forest, forming a perfect amphi theater. Thus is the picture fittingly framed, and one may stand in the cen ter and see about him the varied won ders of local plant life. Los Angeles Times. Self-Contained Houses. It has been suggested that archi tects could do a great deal toward Improvement in city planning by en couraging owners to build self-contained houses that is, structures that would contain the entire establish ment in Itself, whether It is a house of business or a factory, says Con struction News. Next to nature ar chitects have more to do with mak ing this world beautiful than any oth er agency, human or divine, and It Is a grave responsibility, and one sees about him every day evidences of one kind or another as to how they live or attempt to live up to It, particularly In the matter of a house, a self-contained establishment that is wholly a house without annexes, leantos or projecting parts, which, in a few years are used for such a wonderful com bination of purposes that people won der at the original intention of the owner or the architect Urges City Improvement ' The American City, a publication re viewing municipal work throughout the country and promoting civic de velopment, urges that cities in this country formulate a three-year Im provement program immediately fol lowing the termination of the Euro pean war. It points out that such a plan will serve greatly to diminish the ill effects of the sudden stoppage of the heavy operations of munitions and other factories In the country and the consequent throwing cf thousands of nen out of employment for the time bflng. The suggestion Is a good one, and If generally adopted would, be sides accomplishing the effects above Indicated, result in many public im provements that nearly every mun'cl pallty needs and must have in the course of time if It hopes to be nuia bcred among the "live ones."
