Min nesota shortcake is composed of var ious ingredients that, happily mixed and baked, make a perfect base and resting place for fresh home-grown strawberries (none so good) and cream (whipped or unwhlpped). In its presence all the woes enumerated by Hamlet, even death and taxes, are forgotten. Agnes M. Kolshorn of the home economics division, University Farm,^recommends the following re cipe for this great-American dessert: One cup milk, 2 2-3 cups flour, 7 tablespoonfuls fat, 5 tablespoonfuls sugar, 6 teaspoonfulls balking powder, 1 teaspoonful salt. Sift the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Cut in the fat with a cookie-cutter, or with knives until it is thoroughly mixed. Then add the milk gradually and mix to make a soft, light dough. Roll or pat the dough out to about three-fourths of an inch thick and cut the desired shape. Butter the top, and' bake, in two layers hi a hot oven.. The fruit should be sweetened and crushed and poured .between the two W.fr^~ layers and on topi? After the straw ymtr^ berries are on the shortcake It should fe fe, if be served at once, before the juice has had time to make It soggy. $'**'TbV'dty has a crew of-men trim ing the hedges of the Great Northern parks this, week: The parks now- pre* sent a line appearance .and give all who pass thru town,a go^^^ipr!^f: sion of Warren. ~v-Tf -"i 'v^V _&. ppj-r Rousing Comedy Play Chautauqua Feature A comedy play that promises a lot of enjoyment for our people is coming _,.v _. to appear ^at the Chautauqua this sea I Jg Poi r\-f OK-nt. Tha sonI. I is "A A Paiir. of Sixes." Thait sounds just a little "Nippy" for Chau tauqua, but we are assured .that, while it abounds in rousing comedy, it is as proper as a pin, and will offend no body's sensibilities. It is a story of a'couple of partners who" went into, business of manufac turing pills. They got into a quarrel as to what gave this product,its wide spread popularity. One claimed it was th^ coloring. Thexthe claimed it was the chemicals. After numerous at tempts to settle.the dispute it was agreed that on the turn of: a card it would be decided which should be the servant of the other for a number of years. Then the fun begins. From that point On to the end it is a case of highly sustained fun. The humor is so spontaneous and natural that everybody gets it and the laughs it affords are said to be enough to fill a barrel to the brim. The play will be put on with full stage effects and in the same style as it appeared in the big'cities. It was a favorite on Broadway and ought to be a big winner here. Everybody likes comedy well done. .These players are said to be past masters in play craft, and to do the comedy turns to a queen's taste.

Some good material for-a fast all home town team is being develop ed. We can't see why Warren should not be represented with a team of the great national pastime. There is something in the air to the effect that a game is being arranged with Alvarado for next Sundav,"- If that goes thru all the fans of the city should turn out and give the boys their support. Stephen and, Argyle also want to schedule" "games with Warren.

W. Wallace Given at the High' '45 School Auditorium The joint picnic of farmers club's the vicinity "of Warren and the- War- ren Commercial Club scheduled -to* be held at the .Riverside farm last Wed nesday, had to be postponed to the foliowhig day on account of the rain. And when Thursday morning dawned bountiful shower's again prevented the people from assembling at the picnic grounds in the forenoon. It was then decided to give the speaking program at the High School auditorium during the forenoon. In the afternoon the skies cleared somewhat so that it was possible to have the ball games and other sports on the picnic grounds as had .been planned, although the weath er prevented many people from attend ing. A small audience listened to the program at the auditorium, Mr. George Copp presided. Several songs were sung by a male trio and a quartette and duets by Mesdames Ulland and Wittensten, all of -which were greatly appreciated. C. L. Stevens gave the address of welcome and introduced the speaker, editor Dan W. Wallace, edi tor "of The Farmer. In his address Mr. Wallace touched upon and discussed many of the prob lems that now confront the farmer. He visited Warren and this part of the valley for the first time some twenty years ago and said he was pleased to note the great progress that has been made since that time. He complimented Warren for its splen did stores, fine school buildings, beau tiful parks and other evidences of thrift and enterprise on the part of its citizens and said he liked the spirit of Warren and of Marshall county. In speaking of the depression that has come" ta agriculture as a result of de flation and consequent reduction of the purchasing power of the farmer, he said .that the best brains of the country are now studying the problems of ag riculture and endeavoring to find rem edies for the ills that affect tlie farm er. The great conference of 850 prominent farmers and business men that met recently in Washington, be ing^ summoned there by President Ilai'ding. was held for the purpose of studying the problems of agriculture. Aiy realized that something must be d& to help the farmer. Many mea- '3**m e-nacted- by Cfangress a yd calcu li!ted' to help the farmers were dis cussed, among them the Capper-Vol stead bill excluding farmers *cd"-opera- tive associations from the operation of the anti-trust law. and the aid, given by thejsyar finance corporation to ag" ricultural communities by which many farmers and banks were tided over and saved from bankruptcy. There are several bills now before congress that aim to provide long time direct credits for farmers and farm organ iztions. one of them being the Len root-Anderson bill, which is favored by many. But the farmer must not depend too much on legislation as a cure for ills. The only way the farm er can be helped permanently is by helping himself. It is on the farm and'farm home after all that the prob lems of- agriculture must be solved. By co-operation and community or ganization the farmer can accomplish great' things for his own -betterment. The address of Mr. Wallace'contained much food for thought and was great ly appreciated. Hope he will come againwhen we need rain..-, !V, SPORTS AT THE winning 9vto cards in use,. who have .taken out 4590 books' dur ing the school year.^ *g- "^A# The, libraries subscribe' for sixteen standard magazines, which contain fiction.and the current news of the day.

The Luna boys were quite confident but the pick up team from Warren with Dave Pe terson pitching proved too much for the Luna hoys. The score was 8 to 0. This proves-that Warren can put up a fair home town team that will make other teams "hustle. The horse, shoe pitching or the so called "Barn yard golf" contest was won. by Luna.
