WHOLESOME HOT BREADS
LUNCHEON MENU
Consomme
Hamburg Steak
Fried Potatoes
French Rolls
Baked Apples With Raisins
Tea or Chocolate
Delicious and wholesome hot breads may be made according to the following recipes;
CORNMEAL PUFFS - Take one cupful of cornmeal, one cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of soda and one of cream of tartar (or one and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder), one egg, one cupful of milk and one teaspoonful of melted butter. Mix the dry ingredients together and sift. The milk is added to the beaten egg and stirred into the other. Bake fifteen or twenty minutes in a hot oven.
MADE WITH COLD RICE
RICE MUFFINS - Take one quart of milk, three beaten eggs, one tablespoonful melted butter, one teaspoonful of sugar and two cups of flour, with which sift two rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one scant one of salt. Make into a batter and beat in a cupful cold boiled rice. Beat well and bake in a hot oven.
WHEAT GEMS - Take one pint of milk, scald it and add to it one tablespoonful of butter. Let stand until lukewarm. Then add one-half cake of yeast dissolved in a quarter cupful of warm water, three cupfuls of flour and one teaspoonful of salt. Beat well, cover and let stand in a warm place until morning. A half hour before breakfast beat two eggs, yolks and whites, seperately and add first the yolks, then the whites to the risen mixture. Beat and bake in gem pans in a quick oven.
FOR LUNCHEON OR TEA
FRENCH ROLLS - Cream one-fourth of a cupful of butter and one-fourth cupful of sugar together and gradually beat into a pint of light sponge. Add two eggs, whites and yolks beaten seperately, and flour enough to make the same thickness as before. Cover and stand in a warm place until it begins to rise, then add flour to make the soft dough and knead well. Set aside again until it doubles in size, then shape like Parker House rolls. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the top. Bake fifteen minutes. When done lay a napkin over the rolls in the pan for five minutes, which makes a tender crust.
RHUBARB COMBINATIONS
Rhubarb is delicious cooked with other fruits. Some desserts of that kind are made as follows;
RHUBARB TAPIOCA - Soak two-thirds of a cupful of pearl tapioca overnight in cold water. Drain, put in double boiler. Add one and one-fourth cupfuls of boiling water and two-thirds of a teaspoonful of salt. Cook until tapioca has absorbed the water. Peel rhubarb and cut in pieces to make three cupfuls. Sprinkle with one and one-third cupfuls of sugar. Add to tapioca and cook.
WITH DRIED FRUITS
RHUBARB AND DATES - Wash one pound good dates, add boiling water to cover and cook until the water is nearly absorbed. Then remove the stones. Skin and cut a pound of rhubarb in one-inch pieces, put a layer in the bottom of a buttered pudding dish, sprinkle with sugar, add a layer of dates and repeat until all are used, having last layer of dates. Put in one-fourth cupful of water and bake until rhubarb is done.
RHUBARB AND PRUNES - A combination for the spring is that of prunes with rhubarb. In any household where prunes are much used they are usually stewed in large quantities and kept on hand in juice. Take enough for a dish, draining the juice, and pour over rhubarb already stewed and to which very little sugar has been added.
JAM AND JELLY
RHUBARB AND ORANGE JAM - Take one quart of rhubarb cut in small pieces, six oranges and three cupfuls of sugar. Remove the rind from the oranges and scrape off the white pith. With a pair of scissors cut the rind into thin strips. Remove the seeds and fiberous parts from the oranges and put into a preserving kettle with the rhubarb, sugar and rinds. Bring to the boiling point and skim. Cook until the jam stiffens when tested on a cold saucer. Pour into jars, cover with paraffin and set away to cool and then cover.
RHUBARB AND APPLE JELLY - Wash well the rhubarb stalks and cut them up into small pieces without peeling, rejecting any defective sections. To every three cupfuls of the rhubarb add one well washed Baldwin or greening apple, cut up in small pieces without paring or coring. Cover the whole with boiling water and cook until apple is done. Pour in jelly bag and when juice is drained out add to it equal measure of sugar or a little less, according to the tartness of the rhubarb. Stir til dissolved and cook.
THE NEWS CHANGES OWNERSHIP
I have sold the Falls City News to Mr. D. L. Wood, a newspaper man from Oklahoma, who will take possession June 1, 1914.
Mr Wood is a publisher of experience who comes highly recommended, and no doubt he will improve The News to meet the requirements of this rapidly developing section of Oregon.
The sale involves the transfer of the printing plant, subscription list, good will and business of the paper.
All unpaid advertising accounts due prior to and including this date are payable to the undersigned.
All debts contracted on behalf of The News prior to this date will be paid by the undersigned.
It is with mingled feelings of regret and pleasure that these words are written. Regret for having to leave this beautiful and prosperous little city, pleasure that I have been able to gain and retain the friendship and good will of the people of Falls City.
No plans have been made for the immediate future, though it will be necessary to remain here for several weeks in order to settle up private and official business.
Having severed my connection with The News, and wishing you all happiness, prosperity and long life, I subscribe myself.
A Friend of Falls City,
CHAS. W. LEE
STEVENS HOUSE ROBBED
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Stevens went to Portland Monday and returned Thursday. During that time their house had been robbed of jewelry, an automatic gun, and other things. The robbers left no sign to show how they gained entrance. Two bullet holes in the floor seem to show that the robbers did not understand automatic gun mechanism. The belief is that the job was done by home talent.
BOY SCOUT NOTES
The second annual "Big Hike" of the Falls City Boy Scouts has been planned for June 22 to July 10, weather permitting. Plans: - Leave Monday morning; stop two days at the forks of the Siletz (to fish); arrive at Newport Saturday; Monday to Saturday; hikes to light house, punch bowl, deep sea fishing, agate hunting etc.
"Heap Big Fun" all of the time and all it will cost is enough to pay for the "eats" and a couple of dollars incidental expenses.
There will be enough adults present to assure safety and trained scouts along to make sure of a good time. It's lots more fun to go on a hike when you are a scout and know how to do things. Better become a tenderfoot now so as to go with us.
M. A. Marcy, Scout Master.
CONSUMERS OF WATER TAKE NOTICE
City water users who are behind in their accounts are requested to make payment as soon as possible, so that the auditor's books may be audited and transferred.
I shall remain in Falls City until my part of the city's business is fully settled and approved by proper authorities. Prompt payment of the delinquent accounts will make final settlement and transfer more satisfactory.
Respectfully, C. W. Lee, Auditor.

Ferguson has the contract. The building will be bungalow style and modern in every respect. J. C. Talbott will occupy the building when completed. Mr. McKown is also remodeling the residence occupied by Mr. Clement, by the addition of a 10x20-ft. sleeping porch in the rear, and putting on a bungalow roof.

ROAD WORK
Sam McVey, of Newberg, has the contract for crushing rock for Polk county's roads this year. The Falls City crusher will be in operation about July 1.
The city crusher will be moved on the south side of the river.
The quarry is on lots 23 to 32 block R, on the north side of the river. The quarried rock will be conveyed across the river to the crusher. This arrangement makes it easier to haul crushed rock to the roads.
DOES MATTHEWS MEAN IT?
Want, barber, dressmaker, candymaker, laundryman, cigarmaker, photographer, milliner, second-hand man and novelty man to open business in prosperous Falls City, Or. Write Irving Matthews, or see him at the Esmond Hotel today. - Oregonian, May 17.
The News has printed the following lines for the past three years, as may be seen in the wide column on page four;
"Falls City is well provided with the usual business enterprises."
LEE STRAYS FROM HOME
C. W. Lee, of Falls City News, wandered away from home Wednesday and arrived in Independence. He came to the Monotor office and made himself interesting. Incidentally he introduced D. L. Wood, recently from Oklahoma, who has purchased the News and will take posession June 1. - Independencd Monitor.
BASE BALL
The game between Rickreall and Falls City last Sunday, resulted in a score of six for Falls City and three for Rickreall.
The score was a tie for the first half, but the superior skill of the home team was apparent during the entire game.
The visitors seemed to be timid and uncertain in their play, which may be accounted for by the lack of home training grounds.
The home team has some excellent players, but is weak in two positions.
As scores now stand, Falls City has the champion club of Polk county.
C. J. Pugh has finished the construction of the traction engine for plowing his loganberry field of 11 1/2 acres, and works like a charm as a plow propeller. This is the second year since planting and he expects to manufacture 3,000 gallons of loganberry juice, all of which has already been contracted for delivery in season. This industry is bound to grow and prosper. Mr. Pugh is laying the foundation for a most profitable business, and at the same time giving courage to others to plant loganberries.
Thelma, Queen of Rosaria, with a bunch of princesses, are touring the large coast cities as a means of advertising the Portland Rose Festival. To add to the glory of the trip it is proposed to introduce all the young women to the editors of each city. Falls City is not on their visiting list.
MASS MEETING
You are invited to attend a mass meeting in Tollar hall, at 8 p.m., June 3, to make arrangements for a 4th of July celebration.
