MISSOURI TOWN
HITS IN TWO SECTIONS OF THE
TOWN; WIPES OUT
MANY HOMES
ONE DEApJeVERAL INJURED
Several Are In Hospitals With Severs
Injuries; Belief Is That Many
More Bodies Will Be
Found
Joplin, Mo. —One person is dead —a
Mrs. Fried, whose husband is among
the missing—six are in a hospital and
several are missing in a tornado which
struck in two parts of Webb City,
several miles northeast of here shortly
after midnight recently.
One body was taken to the morgue
and two severely injured, a Mrs. Locke
and a girl, Dorothy Gibson, to’ the Jane
Chinn hospital at Webb City. Search
is being made for several others
thought dead.
The tornado hit in the northeast part
of the town and jumped to the south
east section, razing a number of
houses in each section, it was reported.
It Is believed the tornado took a
northeasterly course after hitting
Webb City. It was reported from Car
thage that a high wind was raging
there and reports farther east from
Sarcoxie said that a -wind of almost
tornado proportions was Wowing at
that point.
No report was obtained of deaths or
damage from either Carthage or Sar
coxie.
It was also reported that a strip
almost two miles In length and a block
wide was struck by the tornado, houses
being shattered and In some Instances
blown away.

ARKANSAS GUSHER IS
20,00 HARRELL WELL
Creates Lakes Over Acreage; Owners
In World
Camden, Ark. —The Robert Edmonds
Mineral Deeds Syndicate well No. 2
in section 86-15-15, Camden field,
Ouachita county, came in with be
tween 15,000 and 20,000 barrels of high
gravity oil per day.
It is claimed by the owners to be
the biggest well of high gravity oil in
the world and they state that the Min
eral Deed holders In the Robert Ed
monds syndicate are destined to make
an enormous profit in this venture.
The well has overflowed the earthen
storage tanks and is flooding the
countryside with oil, having made sev
eral lakes of oil on adjoining acreage.
Later reports estimate the well to
be making from 20,000 to 25,000 barrels
and experts verify this claim. The
Berry-LeGrand well, which the Ed
monds’ well offsets, came in making
10,000 barrels per day with the drill
stem In the hole, and the Edmonds
well having a clean hole it is easy to
believe that it Is making the flow
claimed for it.
It is said that the Standard interest*
have made some fabulous offers for
the Edmonds gusher but whether or
not it will be sold has not been ascer
tained.

LAW’S AIDES FEEL
OWNJFEHIORin
Lloyd Georgo and Birkenhead Made
Great Play With Attainments of
Prime Minister's Statesmen
London.—There has been a slight
lull in “big gun” election oratory. The
new prime minister, Mr. Bonar Law,
moved into his official residence in
Downing street and will hold his first
cabinet meeting soon. He is still ex
periencing difficulty In completing his
ministry.
Mr. Lloyd Georgo and Lord Birken
head, in their recent speeches at Glas
gow, made great play with the medi
ocre political capacity and attainments
of the statesmen the prime ministf’*
had gathered around him as compared
with those who remained loyal to
Lloyd George, and those personal at
tacks on the new administration have
caused considerable angry feeling on
the part of the prime minister’s lieu
tenants, the more especially as in their
election campaign they are feeling
their inferiority in oratory in compari
son with their opponents.
Moreover, Stanley Baldwin, who is
Mr. Bonar Law's chief lieutenant, is
generally thought to have been some
what tactless from an electioneering
standpoint, when he declared that
there would be no immediate reduction
in taxation. Altogether, In the general
estimation of the press, Mr. Bonar
Law’s election stock seems to be In a
falling market, while the Lloyd George
stock, the newspapers assert, Is rising.
Lord Carson, in a letter to friends
in Belfast, makes Wh first political
pronouncement in this campaign, ex
pressing the fervent hope that a gov
ernment will come into power In Eng
land which will be thoroughly loyal to
the Irish settlement as contained in the
act of 1920, as far as the six Ulster
counties are concerned, and declaring
that he wishes to bring home to the
minds of the British electorate that the
single aim of the northern Ireland gov
ernment is to promote closer relations
between Ulster and England.
John Robert Clynes, in a speech nt
Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, said that
the labor party would readily give up
its capital levy plan if there were a
better method, but If the other parties
had no plan they had no right to Bay
that labor’s scheme could not succeed
before it had been tried.
MAKES 90 YARD RUN
WHILE SEMI-CONSCIOUS
Kick In Head Had Rendered Stellar
Grid Player Semi-conscious; Re
gains Consciousness Next Day
Dallas, Tex.—Hubert Walling, South
ern Methodist university halfback, who
ran 90 yards for a touchdown after In
tercepting a pass in the S. M. U.-Okla
homa Aggies game Oct. 28, was in a
semi-conscious state when he made the
run and for the remainder of the game,
according to developments at the uni
versity the next day.
Although he played stellar football
all the time he remained in the game,
he knew nothing about it afterwards.
After the first period, Walling asked
Jordan Owenby, student photographer
on the sideline, what the score was at
least nine times and what period it
was nearly as many times, so Owenby
says.
It developed that Walling wns kicked
on the back of the head in the first
few minutes of play and it Is supposed
his semi-conscious state resulted.
He did not completely regain his
normal state of mind until the next
day when he asked fellow students in
the dormitory where he lives, what the
score was and where the game was
played.

APPETIZING USES FOR VARIOUS
CUTS OF PORK TO ADD VARIETY
■ ■ - ■■ ~ " ■-
Girl Club Mtmbera Witnessing Demonstration In Cutting Up Port at the
Beltsville Government Farm.
(Prepared by the Untied States Department
of Agriculture.)
Pork is one of the most widely used
meats. In China, for example, pork Is
the staple flesh food; In this country
It constitutes a large part of the meat
used In the farming districts. Natu
rally where hogs are slaughtered on
the farm use Is made of all cuts of
the pork, but persohs who purchase
meat from the markets are likely to
limit their selection to chops, roasts,
ham and bacon.
The following suggestions made by
the United States Department of Ag
riculture may be of help both to those
who buy their pork at the market and
to the farmers who may be glad to
secure greater variety In the use of
their home product.
There Is no marked difference In
the tenderness of the different cuts
of pork, but the meat from the fore
quarter Is somewhat coarser grained
than that of the loin and hams, and
the proportion of fat to lean Is greater.
Shoulders well-trimmed and smoked
are satisfactory to use in place of ham.
If offered at a price low enough to
offset the larger amount of hone
which they contain. The thick end
of the shoulder Is known as the Bos
ton butt. Shoulders are sometimes
boned, rolled and smoked. Since there
Is practically no waste to this cut, the
real cost can readily be estimated.
Smoked hams and shoulders are com
monly boiled, but both are excellent
when baked, fried or broiled.
No matter what the method of prep
aration, all pork should be thoroughly
cooked.
Baked Smoked Ham or Shoulder.
Wash the ham or shoulder well,
cover with cold water and simmer for
about three hours for medium-sized
ham, about 15 minutes per pound
when followed by baking. Allow It to
cool In the broth or remove at once,
trim off the brown crust and remove
the skin. Smear the surface well
with brown sugar, stick It liberally
with cloves, using perhaps one to each
square Inch. Bake for two hours In a
covered roaster. Remove cover and
brown the fat side well. Serve either
hot or cold.
If slices for broiling have been cut
from the center of a ham, the remain
ing hock and butt ends may be placed
together, tied securely and treated as
a whole ham.
Chops, Steaks and Roasts.
For broiling and frying, chops and
steaks are cut from the ribs, the loin,
or from fresh hams If preferred, while
larger portions of these cuts are used
SQUASH PIE FILLING
NEEDS LONG COOKING
Rich Flavor Developed If on
Stove for Four Hours.
Not Economical to Run Gas Stove for
Extra Two Houre—Tested Recipe
by Department of Agricul
ture Is Given.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
Throughout the fall months squash
and pumpkin pie may well appear in
the bill of fare. If a coal or wood fire
Is kept up In the kitchen for other
purposes. It is well to cook the squash
for a long time to develop the flavor,
but It is not economical and may not
be advisable to run a gas stove for an
extra two hours for the sake of flavor
alone. The United States Department
of Agriculture has found that when
the squash used for filling Is cooked
four hours It develops a richer flavor
than when it Is cooked only two hours.
The recipe below can be used for
either squash or pumpkin pie. It has
been thoroughly tested in the depart
ment’s experimental kitchen.
* Squash Pie.
cupfuls squash, 1 teaspoonful salt

may be used). % teaspoonful mgf’e

eggs and bntter In the double boiler
and bring to the scalding point. Beat
the eggs well, and add to the hot mix
ture. Stir nntll.lt starts to thicken.
Add the butter. Bake the empty crust
until a very light brown and pour the
hot filler Into the pre-baked crust

as roasts. On the farm the backbone
and spareribs are cut with large al
lowances of tender meat attached,
quite different from the closely
trimmed bones offered for sale under
these names. In some markets, espe
cially at the holiday season, the car
casses of very young pigs are offered
for sale. These are to be roasted
whole.
French fried onions are excellent
with pork chops. They are made by
slicing onions across the grain, dust
ing them lightly with flour, then fry
ing the rings like Saratoga chips In
deep fat until they are golden brown.
Apple sauce or stewed dried apples
are also good accompaniments for
pork.
Soup.
There Is no reason why the liquor
from fresh boiled pork should not be
good stock for soup if carefully freed
from fat. A few drops of lemon Juice
Improves the flavor.
Sausage.
Pork sausage, a favorite dish with
many people. Is sometimes hard to ob
tain on the market, the usual offer
ings being made of mixed pork and
beef. Small quantities of sausage
may be made at home with very little
trouble.
Pork Sausage.
1 pounds of pork A few grain* of
(one-third fat). cayenne pepper.
1 teaspoonful black % teaspoonful of
pepper. fine aa go or
2 teaspoonfula salt thyme.
Cut the meat into small pieces and
add the seasonings. Mix well and put
through the meat grinder, using the
fine blade. Make Into small cakes and
fry until well done and browned.
Sausage Pie and Turnovers.
Fry cakes of sausage until brown
and about half done. Arrange In a
baking dish, add the drippings with
enough hot water to form a good
gravy. Give this last a little extra
seasoning. Cover with a crust made
as for biscuit and bake for one-half
hour. Each sausage cake may be laid
on a round of pastry which Is then
doubled over It to make a “turnover”
and baked. Sausage turnovers are ex
cellent cold for lunches, suppers and
picnics.
Scalloped Pork.
Cut cold cooked pork Into small
pieces, removing any excess fat, and
place in a baking dish. Add a cream
gravy and cover with a thick layer of
mashed potatoes 'or boiled hominy.
Heat thoroughly In the oven, browning
the top.

Success in Pressing Lies in Having
Material Evenly Dampened to
Avoid Water Rings.
To sponge and press cottons, linens,
and silks, Iron through a piece of thin
cotton material wrung out of clear
water, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Another way Is
to sponge the material with even
strokes and then Iron dry. Heavy or
colored goods should be sponged and
ironed on the wrong side. Sponging
with thin starch or gum arable water
will make some fabrics seem almost
