ASK the men-folks (and many of
the women too) what is thely
favorite type of cake. Coconut comes
right at the top in their answers
and chocolate follows closely. So,
when you provide this luscious com
bination of both coconut and choco
late, M-m-m!' Served with Vanilla
or chocolate ice cream, it's double
in deliciousness! '

forms.) Pour the hot syrup slowly

beating constantly. Add the vanilla
and beat until cool and stiff enough
to spread. Add the melted chocolate
and spread between the layers and
on the top and sides of the cake.

Communications
Editor Franklin Press:
We know that there are a great
many perplexing problems that the
government has to deal with. We
also know that public opinion
changes ' these policies, either for
better or worse, and that public
opinion is formed in different ways,
but the press of the country has a
lot to do with he iv it is changed.
So public opinion will solve these
problems, whether in the best way
or not. .
What I am going to say and rec
ommend for agriculture will sound
revolutionary, but not more so
than many things that have been
tried in the last deoade.
We know that the millions of
small farmers are the very founda
, tion of our nation. The downfall of
every civilization has been preceded
by the crash of homes. After trying
many ways to help agriculture the
government .seems no nearer a de
pendable solution than when they
began.
I think every farmer should- raise
anything he wants to raise, as the
small farmer cannot on his limited
number of acres make enough to
live in the comfort that he de
serves. Anyway, abundance is not
in small crops.
I shall take wheat as the .stand
ard to explain my theory, though
'.11 crops would be managed in a
similar way. Let every farmer raise
all the wheat he wants to raise,

but on every bushel he raises over
500 to 100Q pay , five . cents ..tax
per bushel; from 1,000 to 4,000
bushels pay 10 cents per bushel,
and all over 4,000 bushels pay 20
cents per bushel. Of couse, " the
above is only an illustration of the
theory.
A few years ago when the gov
ernment was paying farmers, so
much per acre for not sowing a
certain amount ' of their land in
wheat, a Dakota farmer received
a $3,000 check for the wheat he did
not sow, so the papers stated. Of
course, many received less and some
more. I am only taking him as an
example. Now mast small farmers
would be like the man who wrote
to a manufacturing company to
find ' out what a complete, sawmill
would cost. The company wrote
him they would let him have one
for $1,800. He wrote them if he
had $1,800 he would not want the
sawmill. If most small farmers could
get $3,000 they would be willing to
give up their entire crop and some
would throw in their farm for good
measure. ;
It is the large landlords, many of
them absentees, who raise most of
the grain that goes on the market.
If a small farmer only had 20
bushels to sell it would go on the
market in competition with a 2,000
bushel crop,
'The home is the barometer of
any nation. When the standard of
the home drops the nation feels
the shock in every nerve."
I would like to see letters iri The
Press on different subjects.
Yours truly,

The desire to make a car reflect its owner's individuality is a potent factor
in the average motorist's choice of accessory equipment. And it would be
hard to find a more thoroughly "personalized" car than this new Chevrolet
in which Mary Pickford is shown applying a touch of makeup As if the
handy illuminated vanity mirror were not enough, the car has a bpecial kit of
Miss Pickford's own famous beauty aids, now on the market under her name.
Thcontainer, holding lipstick, rouge, powder and cream, folds neatly up into
the glove compartment when not in use. Inset shows, close-up of vanity case.
