THE COM1NU COOK BOOK COOKINU EXHIBI TION AND LKUTUliKS NEXT WEEK The "Cook Book," which tho ladles of Presbyterian Church of P.

But the executive commit tees ore pushing the work aud will very soon have the book in shape for the press. The future orders aro coming in so fast that they have decided to increase tho is sue to 1,300 and possibly more. Tho num ber and quality of tho recipes collected aud tested, the substantial binding they propose to use aud tho low price of the volume nil com bl no to give assurance that this "Cook Book" whou Issued, will bo second to none on the market. Theoommlttoe take pleasure In announc ing that, through the courtesy of one of their friends In N.

Besides being a graduate cook she Is a most cul tured and entertaining young lady and will he sure to please and instruct all who attend. She requested that tho visitors will each bring a spoon and napkin wit h them, to secure the "proof of the pudding" we presume Miss Hnxworth's field of work is confined to large cities. She has not before lectured In a town of this size. Let us show our appreciation of her presence here by turn ing out in full force- CAltRIE WELI.8-WlI.KFS, Chairman Cook Book Committee, Pres byterian Church. P.S. WASTKI), A NAMKl Shakespear may have known all about roses when he snld "fly any other name twould smell as sweet," but wo differ with him when It comes to name a book especially a cookbook. We Presbyterian ladies are soon to pub lish a household treasure In that lino and we want a good name for It. A name that will be ns tempting as the delicious dishes, "Method", (that's the pro per word we're told) is to be found between its lids. A name, in short that will sell tho book for we must own that coupled with senti ment, we hnve an eye to business in the selection. v ho 11 suggest oner Drop us a postal The "Mountain Home Cook Book" has been suggcstixl. Tho "Orange County" the "Deerpark" and even the "Dewey". Wo draw the line on the hitter for fear the Spanish Cream would sour. Let us hear from others. The Borough Flag. Feme murmur.; hnvo been nllont occa sioned by the action of tho G. A. R. Post In requesting the Borough flag for uso In decorating the church on the evening of the Memorial Day services, and also be o inse It was not agalu hoisted on the poles on Broad Street. Rev. A. S Gardiner was instrumental iu procuring tho flag and also tho large liberty polo which was erected on Centre Square. We understood the flag was for use on all pntrlotlo occasions, and Its cus tody seems to have boon relegated In a general way to the town council. Tho pole was taken down some time ngo slnco Which there has l-eeu no suitable place to furl the (lag. As It hung across Broad Street Itjwas a menace to persons driving by reason of being so low that it Interfered with nnd frightened horses. Either a proper polo should be again erect ed or the flag should be snfely kept until one Is. It should not bo allowed to dangle across the street so low as to Interfere with the safety of the public and on poles which having served their day and purpose should long age have been removed. They nre not ornnmontal nor do they remind one of any historical event worthy of being com memorated by even such monuments. Let some public spirited citizen, the ladies might do so, start a project to erect a neat and substantial flag polo on the square with the proper appliauoes.so that the flag can be easily hoisted and lowered, nud not be left as It was during nil kinds of weather to whip and tear In pieces.
