Put 2-Cent Stamp
I On Postal Cards
IEI Centro people who intend to
hml Christmas posta 1 cards to
fiends, are advised by Postmaster
Inilins to be certain that a two cent
[amt) is affixed to the card before
|ailing.
[The new rules adopted by the post
tfice department require that all
pstal cards, except the regularly
bvernment stamped card, shall have
I two cent stamp affixed before
ley can be' mailed, instead of the
|ie cent stamp as was formerly re-
Li red.
I Many cards sent by El Centro
pople ait Thanksgiving time, could
|>t be mailed because a sufficient
fnount of postage was not attached,
hasnuich as postal cards seldom
par a return address, nnd are sirn
(y signed with the first name of
lie writer, it is impossible to return
r hold them for additional postage,
lid they are therefore sent to the
bad letter office.
Rastside Branch

Ire to have convenient access to
lood books. Miss Agnes Ferris, city j
Ibrarian, has opened a branch li-
Irary at the East Hide school.
I Five hundred carefully selected
looks, representing a splendid as- j
lirtnient of juvenile stories, fiction

lave been installed in the school
louse. Miss Ouiiia Dixon, one of the
ligh school students, has been cn
laged to act as librarian. Hlie will

rhool hours, and will also keep the
Ibrary open for a limited time af

lommunity residents. The expense
If this latter service will be met by j
tie El Centro public library.
I In opening the Hast Hide branch,
lliss Ferris reports that only the
host inadequate equipment is avail-
Ible. There is not sufficient shelf
loom to accommodate the books and
mere are no tables for reading.
I’rineipal W. A. Payne of the East
Bide school states that the manual

lunate lumber. The gift of tables
bf any size would also be much ap
preciated.
V. i-« Ferris wishes to state, for

hat the installation of the new
branch will in no way interfere with
circulation privileges previously ex
tended by the main library. The

One Master Recipe
for Five kinds of cakes
It’s certainly a pretty custom to serve cake
when guests come. But, since we all do it,
there is danger of monotony.
It is to escape that, and escape work, that
women find the Sperry Master Recipes so
helpful. By learning only three Master Reci
pes and simple variations of them, they find
they can make some two dozen kinds of cake.
One of these Master Recipes - for Layer
Cake —is given below. Notice how simple it
is and how easily it makes five kinds of cake.
The Sperry Muster Recipe
for Layer Cake
3 e«*i
} 2 cup milk or water
"l teaspoon each of vanilla
and lemon extract
cup shortening
1-4$ cups sugar
2 cups Sperry Drifted Snow
Flour sifted with 2 ten
sjioons of baking powder
Cream shortening until it may be beaten with a
spoon; add sugar gradually beating until mixture la
creamy. Separate the whites and yolks of the eggs.
Beat yolks until thick and lemon colored; add to
creamed butter and sugar; beat vigorously; then
add Ilnur and liquid alternately, stirring the while
until b itter is smooth; and fold in the well-beaten
whites of eggs and flavoring. Bake in three well
greased layer cake pans in a fairly hot oven (oGO
Use your favorite filling.
Walnut Loaf Cake
Prepare the Master Reeip >, adding, one-half cup of
finely chopped walnuts to the cake batter before
folding in the beaten whites of eggs. Bake in a
greased loaf cake pan about 45 minutes in a mod
erate oven (350 F.).
Golden Cake
Prepare the Master Recipe, using four egg yolks and
one whole egg,. Add thisc well-beaten to the creamed
butter and sugar. Bake in a lopl (350 F.;, or in
layers (300° F.).
Small Fancy Cakes
Prepare the Master Rcdipe. Pour batter into a well
greased, shallow baking pan. Bake from 15 to 20
minutes. Cool, then cut into fancy shapes and ice.
Chocolate, pink, end white icing will give variety,
j nd the .ops can be decorated v.ith chopped nuts,
cocoanut, and candied fruits.
Much depends on
the flour
Beautiful, tempting
cakes can be gotten
only by using really fine
ingredients. And the
most important is the
flour.
I use Sperry Drifted
Snow Flour and recom
mend it. Perfectly
blended, and always the
same, it has given me
highly satisfactory re
sults for the past 12
years.

Have you any baking
difficulties that you’d
like to have me help
solve? Would you like
advice on any other
problems of food pre
paration? Just write
me about them and I’ll
gladly help you free.

JAPANESE RICE
FARMERS TO PAY
TAXES FOR KOREA
TOKIO, Dec. 4.—Japanese rice
farmers face the somewhat unpleas
ant prospect of being taxed to sup
port their competitors in Korea—
and they are not in the least pleas
ed about it.
When Japanese statesmen annex
ed Korea after the Russian war
they had an eye on the possibilities
of tlie country as a rice producer,
and that program was earried out
gradually, until Korea now is ex
porting a considerable volume of
rice to the homo country.
What the Japanese did not fore
see, however, was that their over
lordship would lead to a consider
able increase in population because
of improved sanitation, and enlight
enment of the Koreans. This prob
cin now is painfully apparent, anil
it is only a matter of a few years
until Korea will consume all her
own rice, leaving nothing for the
hungry Japanese across the Htraits
of Chosen.
With this in mind, Governor Gen
eral Haiti) of Korea advanced a
plan whereby Korean rice produc
tion could be increased through fer
tilization, improved irrigation nnd
reclaimed waste lands. To do this,
however, Saito wants 25,000,000 yen
a year for ten years—and that is
where the howl of the Japanese rice
grower comes in.
The rice crop for Japan proper
this year is estimated at 501,000,000
bushels, or some 51,5000,000 less
than consumption.

Sheriff Gillett is out of town at

the sheriff’s instructions followed
a complaint made that due care was
not being used at all times by some
of the drivers.
“The law allows us to speed up
wlien u hurry cull comes in,’’ the
undeiolieiiff said, “but Sheriff Gil
lett has always been insistent that
due care be used at all times. When
cars are answering a call they have!
the right of way and are to be ae-j
corded that right by sounding their |

display police lights, and also give
warning b v - sounding their sirens.”)
