Colorado Statesman

A Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to All THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY NEGRO EXTENSION WORK SHOWS STEADY PROGRESS VOL. XXVIII. STEADY progress has been made in the improvement of farm production and living conditions among Negroes in rural sections of the Southern States, through the influence of extension work in agriculture and home economics carried on co-operatively by the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Agricultural colleges, as provided for by the Smith-Lever act. As a result of the extension work, Negro farmers are growing more profitable crops, acquiring good live stock, starting orchards and pastures, and building better homes, while Negro farm women through special training in housekeeping, food preparation, the making and care of clothing, nursing the sick, improving sanitary conditions, and beautifying their surroundings, are materially improving conditions in their homes. Since the beginning of extension work in 1904 Southern Negroes have participated to a large degree in the benefits resulting from the activities of white demonstration agents supplemented later by the agents of their own race. In fact, before any Negro agents were appointed it was conservatively estimated that 25 per cent of the white agents' time in sections thickly settled by Negroes was occupied in giving direct aid to Negro farmers. Under the direction of white county agents these farmers proved to be good demonstrators, and under capable Negro agents have maintained their standard. Work Was Started in 1905. The first Negro agent to carry on extension work among farmers of his own race was appointed in 1905, following a conference between representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Booker T. Washington, then principal of Tuskegee Institute. In thirteen years the force of Negro extension workers has grown from seven agents, employed at a cost of $4,184 in 1908, to 224 agents, employed at a cost of $302,798 in 1921. Of these 157 are men and 67 women. Negro extension work is organized in eleven Southern States, with a Negro state leader, usually designated as district agent, in charge of the work. In four other states two more agents are employed, but no definite state organization has been perfected. The work in all states is under the general supervision of the white administrative forces. Two Negro field agents employed directly by the department are assigned to the duty of co-operating with the state directors of extension and other supervising agents in perfecting extension work among Negroes and assisting Negro agents to secure greater uniformity and efficiency in extension activities. The 157 men agents reporting from fifteen states in 1920 listed 4,284 Negro farmers with 169,000 acres of corn, which, as a result of the practice of extension methods, yielded almost twice as much per acre as the corn on adjoining fields worked under ordinary methods. A total of 17,361 Negro farmers with 52,471 acres of cotton had an average yield of 500 pounds more seed cotton per acre than was secured from surrounding farms. More than 50 per cent of the Negro farmers among whom extension work has been done reported having enough grain and forage to run their farms, which is a remarkable showing as compared with the situation a few years ago. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION As a result of extension work, Negro farmers in 1920 introduced purebred live stock as follows: 377 horses, 1,688 dairy cattle, 149 beef cattle, 2,848 hogs and 700 sheep. There were 68,199 cattle dipped, and 134,799 head of live stock were treated for diseases and pests. A total of 329 farmers' clubs were organized among Negroes, with a membership of 16,960. Improving Home Conditions. As a result of work among Negro women and girls, living conditions in the home were much improved through demonstrations in the preparation of food, in the selection and making of clothing, in equipping the home with sanitary conveniences, and in improving home surroundings. One of the most helpful features, perhaps, has been the assistance and advice given in the care of children and in sickness of all kinds. Farm makers' clubs for Negro boys have been organized in all the Southern States. A total of 6,104 club members grew crops in 1920, the market value of the products of those reporting being $296,000, and 18,366 grew live stock, the market value of which was $153,000. The outlook for continued and substantial growth of extension work among Negroes is promising. Negro agents for the most part are well trained, have the right viewpoint, and are earnest, conscientious workers rendering valuable service. Without question the further development of this work on its present sound basis will continue to have a most beneficial influence on the farm life of this great body of citizens. N. A. A. C. P. Fights Theater Segregation The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, today announced the result of letters sent to Loew's Incorporated, against whose theaters in Harlem complaint of discrimination had been made by colored patrons. The first letter sent by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. to Loew's Incorporated, stated: "A number of complaints have come to me regarding the attitude of certain employés of Loew theaters, especially those located in Harlem. . . . In certain of these theaters, notably the Victoria theater, in 125th street, when colored people—it matters not how respectable they may be—attempt to purchase orchestra seats they are told that none are vacant, but they will be seated in the balcony. In some cases when they have purchased seats in the orchestra they have been refused admission by door-keepers and told that they can sit only in the balcony." Mr. Johnson's letter further pointed out that this constituted a violation of the New York Civil Rights Law. In reply, finally, the following letter was received at the national office of the N. A. A. C. P: "I have before me your letter of Nov. 30th, addressed to Mr. Marcus Loew "We are thoroughly aware of the existence of the Civil Rights Law. Employes of theaters, in which we are interested, are instructed by their respective managementes to afford equal accommodation to all persons, irrespective of race, creed or color.

Aldama Jackson, director, located at 250 West 138th street, presented two artists to a New York audience on Saturday evening, Dec. 10, at Bethel A. M. E. Church, West 132nd street, one of whom was making a fine metropolitan appearance. Jessey Andrews Zackery, soprano, from the West—Denver, Colorado—made her bid as a coloratura soprano, and this brings to mind that most of the singers from the West essay bravura singing. Unable to be present at this recital, comment cannot be made at this time as to this singer's accomplishments, but information is that she made a good impression on the audience. Mr. Bledsoe has been heard here on several occasions and his work was said to be of a par with his former efforts. Mrs. Zackery's numbers included "Her Love Song" (Salter), "Nymphs and Fauns" (Bemberg), "Depuis le jour" from "Louise" (Charpentier), "Ah fors e lui from "La Traviata" (Verdi), "The Old Refrain" (Kreisler), "Pirate Dreams" (Huerter), and "Robin, Robin, Sing Me a Song" (Sross). Mr. Bledsoe sang "Il pleure dava mon ceour" (Debussy), "Roses d'hiver" (De Fontenallies), "Dune Prison" (Hahn), "Japanese Death Song" (Sharp), "By a New-Made Grave" and "O, du wogendes feld" (Hachmanin-off), "A Khaki Lad" (Aylward), "Dream Song" (Warford), "The Americans Come!" (Foster), "Amarilli ma bella—madrigal" (Cacini), and "Arioso de benvenuto" (Diaz). James Walker was at the piano for Mrs. Zackery and Mr. Jackson accompanied Mr. Bledsoe. Miss Marguerite Avery had direction of the program girls and Edward C. Lindsay was in charge at the door—New York Age. Peonage Victims Killed, Says the Attorney General Peonage Victims Killed, Says the Attorney General Washington, D. C., Dec. 16.—Many and startling revelations as to the continuance in Southern states of that barbarous, slave-like practice known as peonage are to be found in the annual report of Attorney General Daugherty. The report is just off the press. The following excerpts go far to throw light on situations and conditions which have been so vigorously attacked from time to time by the Chicago Defender. "The victims are almost always extremely poor, ignorant and friendless," says Daugherty. "Many times it appears that county officers conspire with the employers to force these unfortunates into bondage, which is worse than outright slavery. "Some of the cases in the hundreds of those reported received have been extremely aggravated and in several instances the poor victims have been murdered when it was discovered by the employer that this bureau was conducting an investigation," Daugherty said. "In such cases bureau agents have been instructed to work with the state authoritis, and convictions for murder have resulted in some instances. The very helplessness of this class of citizens impels the bureau to proceed with all possible vigor, and the salutary effect is beginning to appear." NO 11 Two White Women Masquerading as Colored Men Kill Neighbor Taken for Blacks, Are Killed Fort Smith, Ark., Dec. 3.—That an Oklahoma farmer's wife was murdered last night by two neighbor women, masquerading as Negroes, and that the motive appeared to have been robbery, and the two assailants In turn were shot by a traveling peddler, lodged overnight in the barn, is the story brought to Fort Smith today by W. S. Wright, a salesman operating out of this city. The scene of the murder and killings, according to Wright, is in a sparsely settled country. According to the narrative, as it came to him from several sources, the husbands of the two women shot, called Wednesday afternoon after their victim's husband and induced him to join them in an opossum hunt. Later the peddler drove up and requested lodging for the night. Explaining that her husband was away, the farmer's wife told him he might sleep in the barn. The peddler was awakened during the night by the woman's screams. Jumping up with his pistol he ran into the house and found what he took to be two Negro men bending over her body. He promptly shot them, then investigated. He found his hostess' throat cut from ear to ear and discovered that he had killed two women, clad in men's clothing, and with their faces and hands blackened. Wright, who reported the occurrence, was unable to ascertain the names of the persons involved. Committee of 48 Launches New Liberty Party Committee of 48 Launches New Liberty Party Chicago, Ill., Dec. 9.—The Liberal party is the name of the new political party launched by the executive committee of forty-eight last week. Among the principles set forth by J. A. Hopkins, chairman, are the following: "Mindful of the widespread industrial distress, extreme business depression and the demonstrated incapacity of Democratic and Republican administrations alike, to better conditions, be it declared: "That in order to establish national unity with other state groups that we adopt the name, 'Liberal Party' is the name, and the platform of the Committee of forty-eight as the platform of a new party. "We advocate: "Public control of natural resources by taxation of all land values, including land containing mineral deposits, large water powers, and large commercial timber tracts, in order to prevent monopoly and speculation, to aid industry, and to force idle lands into use. "Public ownership of railroads, canals and pipe lines, including all necessary distributing and terminal facilities and all necessary means of communication, in order to give the same service to all users. "Equal rights, economic, legal and political, for all citizens, and all Civil Rights, including free speech, free press and peaceable assembly, as guaranteed by the Constitution." The new party is expected to bid for colored support. ```markdown ``` --- THE Christmas Season of 1921 comes to a world which I think we all realize has now set its feet fairly and firmly in the way of rehabilitation and of return to the safe ways of progress and construction. Our own country may well regard itself as peculiarly fortunate both in its own bounteous resources and by reason of the opportunity which it has enjoyed of making its own good fortune and means to help others. At this Christmas Season, I hope and a sure that our people will return devout thanks for the blessings that have been bestowed upon them, and renew their pledges of service and usefulness of earnest effort and safe advancement in behalf of the best things in life.

It is expressive of the sentiment that means a showing of the way to the Christ child through fathomless depths and caverns. Strictly speaking it is the rarest symbol of unselfishness, for after all does not a lighted candle in the window illumine the soul. Its glow removes thoughts of self and suggests a most sacred regard for others. Man is prone to stumble in the dark; a light in the window may point to him the proper path. There is no greater sin than that of selfishness. True, individual action is at the bottom of all human achievement, but individualism must not be carried on to indefinite lengths. Human beings can only improve their own condition by accepting every opportunity to help others. Selfishness and greed go hand in hand, and too often are blindfolded to the benefits that might come from the very opposites in life. The human soul if unexplored and left a stranger to the pure light of unselfishness becomes a darkened abyss and a receptacle of sin. By all means let us have a light in every window, but let it be a light that unbridles man's conscience and removes the shackles of greed, avarice and selfishness from his soul. THE LIFE OF CHRIST.

Never were the frothing they are an avoidance of the truth, the is justice and whose kingdom is big many noble things these days, the mind and heart of humanity and entering into a silent men to cross was as pure as the heart and serene as the unfailing, even AN event of more than passing moment took place in Denver a few nights ago. A club composed wholly of men held its regular monthly meeting, and instead of the evening being given over to merriment and the usual jollification men indulge in when banded together, the time was passed in a broad, serious and intellectual survey of the "Life of Christ." These men were not of the type that profess an undue amount of piety or religious fervor. Indeed, they were men who represent all walks of life, and of very different denominational creeds and beliefs. They were busy men, who go about each day in the world's affairs with no spurious air of religious zealousness about them; just good citizens, home loving men, civic leaders and professional men. But that they were men high of purpose was most beautifully exemplified in the wonderful meeting of Wednesday night. In truth, there should be nothing particularly exceptional in the study of the "Life of Christ," for from whatever angle He may be approached or whatever motives may prompt man's studious consideration of Him, the fact remains that He is the most marvelous character that ever appeared upon the stage of civilization. And at this peculiar season of the year, when all Christendom looks toward star-lit Bethlehem, feels the rushing winds that precede the heralding angels, when all hearts and souls are attuned to the sweet music of the Annunciation, it becomes a splendid tribute to the character of our Denver men, who willingly lay aside all other cares and give themselves up to a study of Him whom to know aright is life eternal. The exceptional phase of this meeting was that the men were honest with themselves and with their God in the study of this character. They did not enter upon an endless argument over the fact of His immaculate conception, nor of His miraculous birth; nor did they haggle over His ascension and the miracles He performed. But rather they contented themselves with the effect of His gospel, ministry and life. To some He is known as the Man of Sorrow, to others as the Lowly Nazarene, to others still as the Prince of Peace. But all men can agree that the most sublime human figure of all the centuries is Him whose birthday we reverently approach and worship next Sunday. "Christ—the one great word, well worth all languages in earth or heaven." From the day of His crucifixion He has had a part in all literature, in all history, and in all song. We do well to study His life, for the rarest sonnets and the sublimest music mortal hands have penned or mortal ears heard, written in adoration, praise and glorification of Jesus of Nazareth, whose beauteous life has been the main inspiration of "The mighty hopes that make us men." This brings us to the point of belief that the real, conscientious, worthwhile man of today is an earnest seeker after Truth. And there can be no grander pursuit, nor can man more surely know himself than by seeking and standing for the truth. Thus in a comprehensive study of Christ man approaches a high plane that makes him stronger, better and more nearly divine. Louis XI of France is accredited with having once said, "Hearts must bleed that thrones may stand." Never were the frothings of a mad man more cowardly uttered. They are an avoidance of the truth, a contradiction of the Christ life whose throne is justice and whose kingdom is open to all believers. Our men are doing many noble things these days. They are showing a keener insight into the mind and heart of humanity by this most unusual example of self-abnegation and entering into a silent communion with Him whose life from garden to cross was as pure as the lilies, fragrant as the flowers and as constant and serene as the unfailing, everlasting stars. John W. Coleman passed away Wednesday, November 23, 1921 at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Laura Berry, 4335 Garfield Ave., St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Coleman was a bosom friend of M. M.

Choose Tuskegee Site for Soldiers' Hospital Choose Tuskegee Site for Soldiers' Hospital Washington, Dec. 13.—A huge government hospital which will care for disabled and crippled soldiers is to be established at Tuskegee. While no official announcement has been made, it is reliably rumored that Tuskegee has been finally settled on by the War Department as well as the Treasury Department. The splendid facilities of Tuskegee Institute from the standpoint of vocational training for the crippled soldiers were part of the advantages which caused the selection of the site. The work being done in the various reclamation hospitals of the country is marvelous and it is predicted that the hospital at Tuskegee will afford adequate training for the many crippled and disabled colored soldiers in various parts of the South. --- M. H. IT seems appropriate at this season, which portends the eve of an eventful year, to take inventory of our successes and failures that we may record the former and benefit by the latter. Though the struggle in which are are engaged is of titanic magnitude and the attainment of the goal to which we aspire seems still far remote, there is much of enduring credit to which we can point with genuine pride. The years series of convocations has solemnly impressed us that solidarity, racial unity and race consciousness are essential to such success as that for which we struggle. To imbibe and square performances with such spirit is to successfully defy all forces arrayed against us, and accelerate immeasurably racial progress. With these Yuletide and best wishes to patrons, friends and the race, for a joyous and happy season, I am yours for racial co-operation, uplift and elevation. WOODLAND, CALIF., NEWS. The Second Baptist Church is enjoying great services here recently. The people get scattered in the summer time on account of the hot weather, and it takes some time to get them back together again, even after the weather gets cool. A couple of Sunday nights ago in the midst of the collection that was being taken a young man was converted and joined the church as a candidate for baptism, having been touched through the sermon delivered by the pastor. Baptizing will take place Xmas day at the conclusion of the morning service. A splendid program has been arranged for the Xmas exercises by Mrs. Muse and Mrs. Earl, the committee who have charge of the training of the children. The superintendent, W. J. Keith, is arranging for a big Christmas tree for Xmas eve night. New Year's day will be what is known as Roll Call and Home-Coming day for all the members of the church. We are anticipating a great meeting on this day. The Church Aid Society met on Monday night, Dec. 12, in its first real meeting since its organization some few weeks ago. Mrs. L. O. Gaither, the president, being ably assisted by her mother-in-law, Mrs. M. F. Gaither, royally entertained the members and the many visitors present. The select readings were greatly enjoyed by all; as well as the free chicken salad and hot chocolate. Friday night of this week the Young People's Progressive Club will have an old-fashioned spelling match. The Sunday School gave a social last Friday night at the social hall of the church for the benefit of the school. About $15 was realized over and above expenses. Superintendent Wm. J. Keith, chairman. Rev. J. T. Muse, moderator of the Sacramento Valley Baptist District Convention, was out of town most all of last week or official business in Sacramento, Marysville and Oroville.

Westbrook, was appointed one of the staff physicians at the county hospital for the seventh time last week. This splendid tribute to our popular physician must be accounted a distinct recognition of merit. Leslie J.

WITH an usual large attendance, the Men's Club of the Church of the Redeemer held a most interesting meeting Wednesday night at the Vicarage. The program was in keeping with the Christmas season and the evening mainly spent in a most comprehensive review of the life of Christ and what it means to the man of today. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, our prominent physician and surgeon, is president of the club, and this alone insures its high standing and progressiveness. Maintaining its present high standing the Men's Club is certain to be a large factor in the CIVIC AFAIRS OF DENVER.

They were a fine set of young men, and showed themselves capable and strong. They promised to come again at a later date. The holidays are now on, and the boys are having the time of their lives. Different tournaments are being played off by them, contests between different sets of boys. Although the frost was in the air last Wednesday afternoon, it did not prevent the croquet fans from appearing on the court and engaging in a game. They declared they would play "clean up to Christmas, and even through to the new year, if the weather permits." There will be a call meeting of the committee of management next Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. It will be the final meeting of the year, and will be held to clear up matters of business.

The Denver Division No. 118 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has for the past week been stirred by a series of lectures by Dr. C. N. Grandison, field representative of the organization, and Mr. S. O. Simpson, his secretary. Dr. Grandison is a man of national fame as a lecturer, pulpit orator and platform speaker; he has also occupied the presidential chair of Bennett College, Greensboro, N. C. The principles of the organization were defined by him so clearly that the most skeptical and critical could find no serious objections to them. His lectures on "Negro Leadership," "Does God Speak to Negroes," and "What's the Matter With Sambo?" made quite a few converts, among them such notables as Rev. D. E. Over, Attorney E. P. Blackmore, Luther H. Walter, contractor, and Mrs. Mary Greer, one of our leading matrons; also a number of other citizens. The opponents of this great movement have been compelled to acknowledge the righteousness and sincerity of its founder and iender, Marcus Garvey, and the able representation of the cause, as expounded by Dr. Grandison, has created such a profound impression on the community that our people are beginning to interest themselves in the reading of the Negro World, the news organ of the organization. The lecturer was ably supported by Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, a member of the organization; Rev. S. A. Stripling, pastor of the Scott M. E. Church; also Rev. D. E. Over of the Zion Baptist Church. These gentlemen praised Mr. Garvey as an inspired character, who comes upon the scene of action at a time of great depression of our racial family the world over, and commended for his wisdom in the selection of men to propagate and carry to a successful issue this wonderful program. The president of the Denver Division and his faithful assistants are still endevouring to indoctrinate the people of the community with the aims and objects of the association, and are very grateful to those who show their practical sympathy for the movement in placing Denver among the worthy champions of the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our Forum will be held at Scott M. E. Church tomorrow, 3:30 p. m., when a special speaker and soloist will be the principal features of the event. Members are especially requested to be present and bring a visitor with them. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BON DURANT-JONES INVESTMENT COMPANY.

Seventeenth at Curtis The DENVER NATIONAL BANK ALEXANDER A. EALY PASSES AWAY ALEXANDER A. EALY PASSES AWAY M. B. Alexander A. Ealy, a pioneer resident of Denver and one of the most highly esteemed men of the race, died Tuesday morning, Dec. 20, 1921, at the age of 65 years, at his late residence, 2610 Welton street, after a lingering illness. He was married Dec. 7, 1876, to Miss Amelia Porter Eads, and widowed Feb. 26, 1919. He was employed by the Colorado Mortgage and Investment Company for thirty-seven years. Mr. Ealy was one of those men who made and enjoyed lasting friendships. Generous to a fault, ever ready to lend a helping hand in every case of distress, he lived as nearly to the Golden Rule as any man we know of. His long residence in Denver for nearly fifty-two years, has been marked by many benefactions, and his passing will be mourned by a host of friends who have learned to look to him for a word of encouragement and cheer. He leaves a devoted daughter, Mrs. Moral N. Keelan, a son-in-law and one grandson to mourn his loss, to whom THE COLORADO STATESMAN extends heartfelt sympathy.

The free use of soups and fresh vegetables is wise for those persons who have a tendency to overindulgence in eating-Jordan. SOUPS AND OTHER DISHES Soups may be either nutritive or stimulating. A nutritive soup like cream of potato is a meal in itself while a bouillon is simply stimulating and attractive as to seasoning. H Beef Broth.— Cut two pounds of lean beef into small dice, break the bones and put them with the meat into a saucepan, cover with two quarts of water; when boiling add one carrot, one turnip, one onion, all diced, and one bunch of herbs. Smimmer for three hours, add two tablespoonfuls of cooked rice and serve hot with croutons. Nourishing Soup.—Take one cupful of lentils, one-half cupful of barley, one onion, two cloves, one grated carrot and two quarts of water. Wash the lentils and soak them over night in water to cover. In the morning put them with the barley, the onion stuck with the cloves and the grated carrot, into a saucepan; simmer for two hours, add salt and pepper to taste. Thirty minutes before serving remove the onion and add two cupfuls of milk and four tablespoonfuls of butter. Corn Chowder.—Cut one-fourth of a pound of salt pork into small dice and cook in a sauce pan until brown, then add two chopped onions, cook until slightly colored, add two cupfuls of diced potatoes which have been parboiled for five minutes, one can of corn and four cupfuls of water or stock; cook thirty minutes. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, stir in one tablespoonful of flour and when well blended add two and one-half cupfuls of milk; cook five minutes, add the corn mixture, salt and pepper to taste and three tablespoonfuls of rolled cracker crumbs. Serve hot. Don't idly dream! There is no time for dreaming. No time to drone and loiter on the way. With opportunity each day is teeming. That till you delign to waken, will not stay.

MAKING CANDIES There is no gift that is given or received with greater pleasure than a really fine box of home-made candy. It is both pleasant and economical to make it in the home. In fact, home-made candy is welcome any really the best of home-made candy. It is both pleasant and economical to make it in the home. In fact, homemade candy is welcome any-where and at all times. It is unnecessary to have an expensive equipment, unless one wishes to go into the business professionally. There are those who like grainy candies, but a really fine candy should be as smooth as velvet, as well as colored appropriately, flavored and decorated. Only vegetable color should be used in foods, and it is procurable in most places. Creamy candies, such as cream candy, fudge, fondant and the like, should never have a trace of grain, or crystals, however small. Cream candies are kept from graining by the addition of cream of tartar or a few tablespoonfuls of white corn stirp. Rapid boiling and splashing of the sirup upon the sides of the kettle will cause grains. If this occurs, wash down the sides of the kettle with a skewer wrapped with a cloth and dipped in cold water. Successful fondant is never made on a damp day. Choose a clear, bright day, and carefully follow directions, and you will have candy as good as a professional's. One nice feature of this kind of candy is that it may be made even in the summer, packed in a jar, covered with buttered paper and, sealed from the air, and it will be perfectly good to use months later. In testing candy, lift the spoon or fork vertically, and try not to stir the mixture. Candles which contain molasses do not grain, and less care is needed in making. Coffee Caramels.—Put one pound of brown sugar into a saucepan; add one cupful of clear, strong coffee infusion, one-half cupful of cream and one tablespoonful of butter. Boll slowly until it will snap when tested in cold water. Pour into greased pans and mark off into squares as it cools. Marshmallow Fudge.—Boll two cupfuls of sugar with one cupful of milk; add one-quarter of a cake of chocolate, or its equivalent in cocoa; boll to the soft-ball stage, adding three tablespoonfuls of butter as soon as the candy bolls. Pour over a pan of marshmallows arranged short distances apart in the buttered pan and, when somewhat hardened, cut into squares. Add any desired flavor. Nellie Maxwell The Kitchen Cabinet Copyright, 1921, Western Newspaper Union. No man is big enough to do a lot of things and do them well enough to last. When you take him and spread him over a lot of surface, he makes a layer too thin to form any impression. But if you take him and hammer him with the sledge of a mighty purpose, even if there is not more than enough of him to fill a bean-shooter, he will make an impression when he strikes.—D. L. Moody. A DESSERT FOR EVERY DAY Here is a dessert for each working day, and on Sunday ice cream and cake or a ple of some kind, which may be prepared on Saturday, may be served. On the busiest day try: Fifteen - Minute Pudding.-Make a batter, using one some kind, which may be prepared on Saturday, may be served. On the busiest day try: Fifteen - Minute Pudding.—Make a batter, using one cupful of flour, one-quarter teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of baking powder and enough good milk or fresh buttermilk to make a drop batter. Butter custard cups and drop in a teaspoonful of the batter, then add two tablespoonfuls of canned cherries, juice and all. Add another tablespoonful of batter and fill all the cups about half or two-thirds full. Set in a pan, surround with boiling water and cover closely. Boll for fifteen minutes without uncovering. Be sure there is enough water but not enough to boil over into the cups. Serve with cream and sugar. Lemon Meringue.—Take one pint of milk, three ounces of sugar, one cupful of fine bread crumbs, two eggs, the juice and rind of a lemon. Mix all ingredients and cook slowly until well set, baking in a deep ple plate. Set away to cool, cever with a meringue and serve cold. Edinburgh Pudding.—Take one-half pound of oatmeal, one cupful of thick cooked custard flavored with vanilla, one and one-half pints of water, one-quarter of a cupful of milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt and two ounces of coconut. Cook the oatmeal, salt and water until well cooked. Cool, turn in the custard and pour into molds. Serve when molded, sprinkled with coconut and sugar, with cream. Snow Jelly.—Make jellies of pineapple, raspberry and lemon. Arrange in layers the lemon, then raspberry and when the pineapple is thickening wip it until frothy, pile this on top of the raspberry jelly. Chill before serving. Mince, pumpkin or apple pie may be served on a day that the dinner is rather light. The difference between a precious stone and a common stone is not an essential difference—not a difference of substance, but arrangement of the particles—the crystallization. In substance the coal and the diamond are one, but in form and effect how widely they differ. The pearl contains nothing that is not found in the coarsest oyster shell. Two men have the same thoughts; they use about the same words in expressing them; yet with one the product is real literature, with the other it is a plattitude—John Burroughs. SEASONABLE IDEAS Cakes and cookies will be more delicious if they are allowed to age for a while before using. Spice Cookies.—Cream one-third of a cupful of butter, add one-half cupful of sugar, one well-beaten egg and one cupful of molasses, in which has been dissolved one teaspoonful of soda. Then add three and one Spice Cookies.—Cream one-third of a cupful of butter, add one-half cupful of sugar, one well-beaten egg and one cupful of molasses, in which has been dissolved one teaspoonful of soda. Then add three and one-half cupfuls of flour, a little cinnamon, clove and nutmeg and one-half to a whole cupful of chopped raisins. A few chopped nuts make an improvement. When well mixed drop by teaspoonfuls on buttered sheets and sprinkle with sugar. Dutch Peppernuts.—Mix one and one-quarter pounds of brown sugar with two tablespoonfuls of cinnamon and one tablespoonful of cloves with one teaspoonful of baking powder. Into this stir three eggs and as much flour as it is possible to work in. Roll thin and cut in circles the size of a quarter; bake in a very slow oven. These little cakes will puff up and are delicous. Ice the flat sides. They will keep for months. Cranberry Cake.—Cream one-half cupful of butter and one and one-half cupfuls of light brown sugar, add the well-beaten yolks of three eggs. Have ready and sifted two cupfuls of flour, a teaspoonful of soda, a teaspoonful each of cinnamon and nutmeg and one-half teaspoonful of cloves; add to the sugar and butter. Fold in one and one-half cupfuls of cranberries that have been cooked, put through a ricer and sweetened slightly, then the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Bake in two layers and ice, using some of the strained juice of the cranberry for flavor and color. Honey Doughnuts.—Doughnuts made of honey and sour milk or cream will keep moist a long time. Take two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one and one-half cupfuls of honey, one cupful of sour milk; if sour cream is used take half the butter, one teaspoonful of soda, three cupfuls of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar. Fry in deep, hot fat. Champa 410 SOMETHING NEW Champa 26 NIGHT AND DAY TAXI COMPANY Pre-war prices; $2.50 per feurs.

Washington.—Federal Investigation of retail prices charged in various parts of the country for food, fuel, shoes and clothing has been initiated by Attorney General Daugherty. He ordered Director Burns of the bureau of investigation of the justice depart- ment to assicn men at once to obtain- ing data on retail prices. Mr. Daugherty declared prices of necessities were too high and that In some Instances profits of retallers were “unconscionable.” It would nev- er be possible, he asserted, to get prices down to the prewar level, but with wages lowered and the costs of foodstuffs reduced, he was determined to learn whether the present “badly proportioned” retail prices should be maintained. Mr. Burns was instructed also to have his men obtain the variations in various localities in the retail prices ‘of general foodstuffs, such as meats, provisions, beans, bread and butter, fuel, shoes and clothing, and to make schedules. Reports will also be gath- ered on the wholesale prices of wheat, beef and meats in order, Mr, Daugher- ty explained, that comparisons might be made of the costs of these commod- itles with the retail prices. Action to remedy price conditions, Mr. Daugherty declared, would be tak- en through several channels. In the main, he said, the situation was a local one and thes tates would be asked to aid. Secretary Hoover, he added, would be invited to Join fn the effort to lower prices, while It was believed that the publication of the compara- tive wholesale and retail prices would do much to remedy hrgn prices. Organizations of retailers in differ- ent parts of the country were blamed by Mr. Daugherty for high _ prices. ‘These associations, he declared, were formed “by smart men who sold a scheme to defeat the laws by perfect- ing an organization for fixing prices which concealed its real purpose under fi declaration of a desire to help com- petition.” ‘The department, he stated, intends to “get these smart fellows,” while at the same time recognizing that many innocent merchants had been imposed on by them. He declared himself in favot of ‘trade organizations which confined operations to improving their services, but he asserted they would not be allowed to fix prices or appor- tion territory among their members, thus stifling competition. Trade associations generally, he said, were showing a commendable willingness to confine activities to the lines suggested by the Justice Depart: ment as in conformity with the law, but where the department's advice had been disregarded it had been ne- cessary to institute proceedings under the Sherman anti-trust act. ‘The decision of the Supreme Court in the hardwood case, which defined ‘the general scope of activities of ‘trade associations, he added, would do much to remove uncertainty as to the exact application of the law to the ac- tivities of trade associations and would enable accurate definition of what practices were legal and which illegal. ee « Phone Main 4843 J.
