There is a Real Difference
Cream of tartar, derived
f"om grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
- Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.

Editor News:
If you will allow me a little
space in your paper, I will try
and tell my f rieuds in Kentucky
some of the things that are done
in Morgan Co., III. .The oat
crop was very good. Made from
40 to 75 bushels per acre. The
hay crop was -fine here. Hay is
very cheap here, worth $8 a ton.
Oats 35 cents per bushel. Wheat
$1.50 per bushel. Old corn 8o
cents, new corn 50 cents, hogs
9 cents per pound, cattle 8 to 11
cents. One of my neighbor,
James Hemhrough, sold 1 01 head
of steers at 10 cents per pound,
and they averaged 1,310 pounds
each. There are lots of cattle and
hcgs fed in this State. The far-u
mers go to Chicago and St.
Louis, Mo., and buy stock hogs
and cattle that are shipped in
from the West. I went to the
State Fair at Springfield, 111.,
and I saw some very fine cattle,
sheep and hogs and fowls of all
kinds. Some very good horses,
but I think Kentucky can beat
Illinois for show horses. I saw
some hogs that weighed 1,200
pounds. The largest hogs I ever
saw. Well, I saw two airships.
Saw one go up. This would
have been a great sight to James
Jones, of Glensfork, for I know
of him going to Burkesville once
to see one, when Crocus creek
was very high and dangerous,
and when he got there the air
ship did not come. Think he went
to Indianapolis, Ind., to see one.
Well, it is a great show to see
the farming implements in the
state of Illinois, I left Glens
fork, Ky., in September. 1915 I
like here fine. Don't know when I
will be in Kentucky, but hope to
be some time. I Jove the people
in Kentucky, it i3 my old home,
but I like the people here. They
are just as good to me and my
two little girls as I could ask
anybody to be, and I appreciate
it very much. My son-in-law,
J. P. Kelsey, wife and daughter
left here for Kentucky in August
on the account of his health.
The Doctor here said the climate
and water did not suit him. We
regretted to give them up as we
had all lived together ever since
they married. Joe Willis came
here last March, but soon got
home sick and came home. He
is back here now and says he
will stay till corn is picked if it
does not get too cold here My
friend, Odis Lewis, was in to
see in the summer. I had
a letter from my old friend,
M. P. Dudley, Bartlettsville,
Okla., a few days ago. A man
with a family can get anywhere
from $30 to $35 a month. A
single man $26 to $30 a month.
One of tie world's greatest cir
cus' shows was here in August.
We attended the great Chautau
qua "which went on for ten days.
They claim to have the best
Chautauqua in the United States.
I heard some lecturers that cost
$200 for one hour and thiriy
minutes talk. I go to church
and Sun 'ay School every Sun
day and sometimes morning and
afternoon. Homer Ballinger is
still in Illinois!- He save he likes
fine and does aim to go to Glens
fork in about one year from now,
and he said he would show Bob
Taylor how to smoke cigars.
Well, Henry Hudson lives in
about 2 miles of .me. He and
his wife and son and Miss Cora
Kelsay were to visit us Sunday
October 1. Charley Kelsey lives
close by. I see him often. Will
close by saying I would like to
see one letter in The News from
Glensfork, Ky. I enjoy seeing
letters from different parts of
Adair county and from other
States. M. E. Blair.
