THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY VOL. XXX Negro Odd Fellows Plan $260,000 Building at Houston, Texas Houston, Tex., Feb. 8.—A five-story, reinforced concrete building, with a roof garden and basement, is being planned for immediate erection. The building will cost approximately $260,000 and will be constructed on a lot worth $85,000. This imposing structure is to be built by the Negro Odd Fellows of Texas, who have recently bought the 100x100-foot lot for cash, at $85,000, and who have more than $360,000 in cash in a San Antonio bank for the construction of the building.—From the Western Star. Reinstatement of Lt. Flipper Asked Washington, D. C., Feb. 8.—Senator Lodge has introduced a bill in the Senate authorizing the reinstatement of Lieut. Henry O. Flipper, dismissed from the Tenth cavalry, June 30, 1882, on charge of embezzling government funds. The bill asked that Lieutenant Flipper be reinstated and placed on the retired list. Lieut. Flipper has always denied charges, declaring he was framed. Last year a similar bill was introduced in the 67th Congress but was never reported out of the committee. Lieut. Flipper is a brother of Bishop Flipper of Georgia, and former assistant secretary of the interior in the Harding administration. $150,000 in Cold Cash Has Not Turned Head of Negro Who Struck Oil $150,000 in Cold Cash Has Not Turned Head of Negro Who Struck Oil (Commonwealth News Service.) Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 8—Henry Thomas Jones, Negro, made wealthy when oil was discovered near El Dorado, apparently is unaffected by his vast fortune. Henry lives with his family at 1023 West Thirty-third street. He works every day and his wife "takes in washing." He declared yesterday he had but one pair of trousers and those he exhibited had been "done over" dozens of times. When oil was discovered in Union county, Henry had a clear title to 350 acres of farm land—very poor farm land, he said. A few months after the boom started, Jones sold the mineral rights on his property for $150,000 in cold cash. After paying off a few debts, he put the balance in the bank, and the only money he has withdrawn he invested in real estate. Henry and his wife were the parents of sixteen children, but only nine of them are living. They have twenty-three grand children. They celebrated their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary last Sunday. Henry has never been out of Arkansas, although he worked for the Missouri Pacific many years and was entitled to trip passes. He was employed as "call boy" at the station here. Since Henry leased his land two produc ing wells have been brought in on it, from which he gets a royalty. He entrusts his business to A. B. A. Henderson, a banker of Junction City. A. B. IME HAS but served to immortalize Abraham Lincoln and to place a halo about his memory beyond that given to any other American citizen. His greatness looms larger as the centuries roll on and truer homage comes from the hearts of grateful citizens as they glance back and contemplate the imperishable principles he breathed into the nation's history. Every nation, if it would survive the storm and stress of conflicting human emotions, if it would endure and serve as a peaceful haven for those who love and cherish the nobility of its institutions, must have its Gibraltar, which in its finer sense means a savior. Such a character was Abraham Lincoln, and though in our country's common history, presidents come and go, some of them great, some of them arising to great heights, Lincoln stands out the peer of them all, the one illustrous character before whose shrine all American citizens, of high and low degree, can bow in perfect reverence. The Lincoln ideals have not yet found their proper lodgement in heart of our state or national life. We are still drifting all too aimlessly amid the shoals, but this by no means detracts from their imperishability. His dream has only partly come true for sad to relate, in certain parts of our country, black and white alike are in dire need of educational facilities and the refined blessings of intelligence. His hope has not yet attained its fullest realization for the principles of a true democracy have not yet been impartially applied. His prayer, arising from a heart pulsating with the love of real freedom, has not been given its final answer, for as yet we find our national life clouded by intrigue and human injustices. But his deeds were glorious and his life a beautiful example to all who would have the republic of the United States a better place in which to live, and in actuality the "land of the free and the home of the brave." He was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, February 12, 1809. The circumstances of his humble birth, the surroundings of poverty, his struggle against adverse conditions are lessons of history within the common knowledge of every school boy and girl. These however we forget in summing up the grandeur of the man, the immortal character whose birthday we celebrate next Tuesday. American history deifies Abraham Lincoln because of the glory of his achievements and because he stands out in all history as the noblest apostle for the cause of HUMAN LIBERTY.

Haitian Athletes Will Compete At Olympiad Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Feb. 8.—For the first time in her history, Haiti will be represented in the olympic games. A rifle team of five principals and two alternates, selected from the best shots of the native gendarmerie, will compete in the 400, 600 and 800-meter rifle match, the sum of $10,000 to finance the trip, having been raised by private subscription. In addition, subscriptions for the same amount are being raised to send two fencers and a small squad of track and field athletes to the Paris games. This decision on the part of Haiti is the logical outcome of the remarkable growth among the Haitians this year in soccer, tennis, rifle-shooting and bicycling. Haitians of the aristocracy as well as the peasants, have had their banner year in athletics. Soccer has ousted cock-fighting as the favorite pastime. Tennis is a close second to soccer, with tennis courts being laid out in all parts of the island.

NO.17. Races Equal Says India's Governor London, England. Feb. 8.—Sir Sydney Oliver, newly appointed secretary of state for Indiana, is a believer of racial equality for white, black and red men. Speaking on the strength of the experience which he gained during his colonial service in the West Indies, and especially in Jamaica, which dependency he administered, as Captain General for close upon fourteen years he writes in his new book, "White Capital and Colored Labor." "There is no artificial or conventional disqualification whatever to bar any Jamaican, of Negro or mixed race, from occupying any position for which he is intellectually qualified in any department of the social life of the island, including public service. Many colored men are magistrates of petty sessions. More than one holds the office of custosfi, that is to say of chief magistrate of a group of parishes; more than one holds or has held stipendary magistracies under the government. These positions they filled with credit. According to their professional position, they associate with the white residents on precisely the same terms as persons of pure European extraction." The recognition of this equality works in the direction of making the Negro a conscious helper toward good social order, whereas Americans, according to Sir Sidney, by insisting continually on the inferiority of the black man, have spurred him into violent resistance and called forth some of his worst faults. As an illustration of this, he calls attention in his book to the number of crimes perpetrated in America that are laid at the door of the Negro and which are usually dealt with by lynch law. "Now, the fact is," writes Sir Sydney, "that in the British West Indies assaults by black or colored men on white women or children are altogether unknown. No apprehension of them whatever troubles society. I say this as an administration official familiar with the judicial statistics, as a resident familiar with all parts of Jamaica and all classes of its population, as the head of a household of women and girls who have frequented the suburbs of Kingston and who have lived for weeks and months in the remote country districts with neither myself nor any other white man within call. Any resident in Jamaica will tell the same story. "A young white woman can walk alone in the hills or to Kingston in daylight or dark, through popular settlements or exclusively black or colored folks, without encountering anything but friendly salutations from man and woman. Single ladies may hire a carriage and be driven by Negroes all over the island without trouble or molestation. Offenses against women and children come into the courts. But they are not against white women and children. Whatever may be the cause, it is an indisputable fact that Jamaica and every other British West Indian island is as safe for white women to go about in, if not safer, than any European country with which I am acquainted." G. O. P. Chairman Impressed by West Washington, Feb. 8—Chairman John T: Adams of the Republican National Committee, has returned to town from a visit through the middle west. He said he had found industrial conditions very favorable in the regions he visited, with visible signs of a general picking up of business. "One thing which impressed me," said Chairman Adams, "was the friendly attitude of the people toward the administration and the Republican regime. I heard many expressions of friendliness from Democrats as well as Republicans, for the administration. "Business is improving; the farmers are coming back, and conditions are looking up all along the line. As to political conditions for the Republican party, I am more than pleased at the prospect. I was exceedingly gratified over the industrial outlook, for that spells welfare for the whole country." ie wave dn open otithe/alftega anensasd Memteloccer sseeie Ininearer See ee Scott's Official History of the American Negro and the World War By Fa al ERMC T eee i 7 r } SCOTPS OFFICIAL HISTORY. | oto af Nhe) rete | G shea AMERICAN NEGRO’ |) He ae Lh i. ‘ i odes [HE WORLD WAR 4} Ai ate uel oh alone omen a yg We | g eee ieee Ih BROS Seer Nene 4 ‘ Dee, Nm ete p f : Hi Me Capt Why io BEE pile ted isan i a SD Pena cee 4 H bh aA i thy NaN oe oH | CSAC Sheer aie ere { eee toueale ARGERH Siesta US addi (Bist oh ey plant as | Pe tect LS eae A F Rpsrcbirenae ne eh ae eae PE — GEE et eee eet eal A lcommbicte (and astnentiol Saredien) ot. cunt penrpntien vot americas | malalery ok thei wekteirace inthe great flakt ser guecersey.

CLEMENCEAU MACDONALD CONDEMNS LLOYD GEORGE FOR PUBLISHING FRANCO-AMERICAN TREATY | London.—The Daily Chronicle, per- sonal organ of former Premier David Lloyd George, has announced that, due to the widespread Interest In ‘the re- port of a secret compact between the lute President Woodrow Wilson and ex-Premier Georges Clemenceau of France regarding occupation of the Rhineland, Lloyd George will write a detailed article upon the subject. This article is expected to reveal the text of the alleged secret compact. According to statements attributed to Lloyd George, while he was absent from Paris, during the peace confer- ence, Woodrow Wilson and Georges Clemenceau signed a secret agree- ment approving French occupation of the German Rhineland for fifteen | years. ~ While foreign office officials are dis- pleased with the remarks attributed to the former premler, they refuse to disclose the exact nature of the docu- ments which France has asked permis- sion to publish. Mr. MacDonuld criticized Mr, Lloyd George's indiscreet handling of the whole matter, condemning his attitude as indefensible And contrary to diplo- matle usage. This has been followed by a frank statement by Mr.*Lloyd George, say- ing it was ridiculous to deseribe the agreement as secret, and acknowledg- Ing that Mr. Wilson ucted with perfect loyalty. Mr. Lloyd George denies that he gave the interview to Harold Spen- der, the writer of the article in ques- tion, and states that he has informed the British foreign office that he has no objection to the publication of the documents. Fearing that the French premier might think him connected with: the disugreeable turn of affairs, the Brit- ish prime minister instructed the em- bassy at Paris to apologize to Pre- mier Poincare, ‘The government re- gards Lloyd George's utterances ™par- Ucularly unfortunate at a moment when Mr, MacDonald is striving to es- tablish more friendly relations with France. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the copy of the docu- ment sent to Mr. Lloyd George was the only one the foreign office pos- sessed, and Premier MacDonald thas Is in the extraordinary position of not knowing the contents of it. He hasy therefore, sent a request to Mr. Lloyd George to return the memorandum without delay. An extremely delicate situation Is belleved to have arisen out of the par- tial publication of the contents of the- memorandum by Mr. Lloyd George without the consent of M. Poincare. ) Paris—"If Lloyd George will pro- duce a secret agreement between Wil- son and me, 1 will pay the repara- tions,” sald former Premier Clemen- ceuu, after reading the text of the ‘statements ascribed to David Lloyd iseorEs.

In wisdom great, but in humility greater, in justice strong, but in compassion stronger, he became a leader of men by being a follower of the truth. He overcame evil with good.

His mortal frame has vanished, but his spirit increases with the increasing years, the richest legacy of the greatest century. Men show by what they worship what they are.

Woodrow Wilson, twenty-eighth president of the United States, was the human phenomenon of the World war, the most momentous of all the wars of history. At fifty-four he was no more than a university professor and political writer. At sixty-three he was in a place of fame and power unsurpassed in history. What place will history give him? The great war brought to the front many men whose names will live in honor. In the last analysis three men stand out: Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau. Of these three it was Wilson who held the world's eye—Wilson, the human phenomenon of the times, until fifty-four no more than a college president and political writer and at sixty-three on a pinnacle of fame and honor and power unsurpassed if ever attained by any man in history. It is impossible now to differentiate between Woodrow Wilson the man and Woodrow Wilson the head of the most powerful nation of earth in wealth, material and fighting men. Certainly he could not have reached the place he held without great ability and extraordinary capacity for leadership. By virtue of his place he became a focus of world attention as soon as the great war began. Before the armistice was signed he had become a great moral leader with the ear of the peoples of the world. Only as such could he have forced upon the allied world the unofficial acceptance of his project of a league of nations, with its fourteen points as set forth to congress January 18, 1918. The enthusiasm evoked by President Wilson's visits to Paris, London and Rome was proof of his unique place in the regard of the people. It was evident that he was to Europeans not so much a man as a voice—a voice putting into words what they wanted and WOODROW WILSON had not been able to express; his ideas and ideals were a sort of religion to them. But he showed himself a statesman as well as a voice. He played the game masterfully. He established sympathy between himself and his man or his crowd. He made few if any mistakes in taste or judgment. He "matched his mind," to use his own expression, with the best of Europe and he got his league of nations before the peace conference and got it adopted. President Wilson's two months in Europe may be divided into phases. When he landed the attitude toward the league of nations was this: The government of France was antagonistic; Great Britain's was suspicious; Italy's was skeptical. The first phase, his triumphant progress through France, England and Italy opened the eyes of these governments to his hold on the people. The second phase, the preliminary work of the peace conference, convinced these governments that President Wilson had an idea rather than a set plan which he purposed to force upon them. Contemporary estimates of President Wilson at home were as wide apart as the poles, Senator J. Thomas Hefflin (Dem., Ala.) when representative spoke on the floor of "woodrow Wilson, the greatest apostle of world liberty and democracy since Jesus Christ." Senator Thomas W. Hardwick (Dem.) of Georgia, said January 21 in the senate: "I believe in a written constitution. I believe in a strict interpretation of it . . . . and I believe that unless we leave and abandon this mad saturnalia of imperialism here at home and return to the ancient principles of our fathers there will be no safety nor happiness for the people of this republic." Senator Albert B. Cummins (Rep.) of Iowa expressed the half-way view when he said in the senate January 23: "I think President Wilson is the most intensely practical statesman of this or any other day. He began his Woodrow Wilson's Ph. D. thesis was "Congressional Government: A Study in American Politics" (1885). His later works include: "The State: Elements of Historical and Practical Politics" (1889; new edition, 1911). "An Old Master, and Other Political Essays" (1893). "Division and Reunion" (1893). "Mere Literature, and Other Essays" (1896; new edition, 1913). administration in the belief that the executive office had not the power that it ought to have. He has accomplished more in the direction in which he set his face and his mind than any other man, either in this generation or in any former generation; and the only criticism, if it be a criticism, is that he has not marched in the right direction and has done things that he ought not to have done." In the process of wresting from congress all the powers he believed the Constitution conferred upon the executive, President Wilson made many political enemies who questioned not his ability, but his motives and methods. To particularize would be largely to review the political history of the last six years. The railroad situation, however, may be cited as an example. Representative E. E. Denison (Rep.) of Illinois said January 15, 1919, "Government ownership of railroads will be the dominant political issue in the next national campaign and Mr. McAdoo will of course expect to be the candidate of his party. He will hope to capitalize what has been done for the railroad men." President Wilson was re-elected in 1916 upon a peace platform. October 25, 1918, just before the congressional elections, he issued an appeal to the voters of the United States asking them, if they had approved of his leadership and wished him to continue to be their unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad, to express themselves unmistakably to that effect by returning a Democratic majority to both houses. The result of the elections was to change the political complexion of both houses as follows; 65th congress—Senate, 51 Democrats and 45 Republicans; house, 215 Republicans and 213 Democrats, 66th congress—Senate, 47 Democrats and 49 Republicans; house, 239 Republicans and 193 Democrats. President Wilson in attending the peace conference made several new departures. He left the country during office. He took the office with him, signing acts and making appointments while in Paris. He ignored the senate, though he is empowered by the Constitution to make treaties "by and with the advice and consent of the senate." He appointed as the American representatives himself, Secretary of State Robert Lansing, Henry White, Edward M. House and General Tasker H. B. Hiss, He sailed December 4, 1918, and arrived at Paris December 14. The French capital was en fete for the occasion. December 24 he went to England and thence to Italy. He returned to Paris January 8, after a journey that resembled a "triumphal procession." After the preliminary sessions of the peace conference President Wilson returned to the United States in February, returning to Paris March 15, 1919. He signed the peace treaty June 28, 1919, and returned to the United States July 8. His second term as president expired March 3, 1920. After his retirement from the presidency Mr. Wilson lived quietly, making a partly successful fight to regain his health. He occasionally went to the theater and rode much in his car about the environs of Washington. He bought a home in Washington and in 1921 formed a law partnership with Bainbridge Colby, who had been his secretary of state, succeeding Robert Lansing. He took part in the funeral procession of President Harding in Washington and was the recipient of much public attention. Mr. Wilson's last public utterance was last fail. November 10, 1923, the eve of Armistice day, he spoke by radio to the American people, defending his pence policy and saying that the American people had withdrawn into a "sulen and selfish isolation which is deeply ignoble because manifestly cowardly and dishonorable." Armistice day Mr. Wilson briefly addressed thousands from the front steps of his home, concluding thus: "I am not one of those that have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again—utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns. Thank you." Woodrow Wilson was born December 28, 1856, in Staunton, Va. He was the son of Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, a Presbyterian minister, and Jessie (Woodrow) Wilson. In 1885 he married Ellen Louise Axsen. They had three daughters—Jessie (Mrs. Francis B. Sayre), Eleanor (Mrs. W. G. McAdoo) and Margaret. Mrs. Wilson died August 16, 1914, in the White House. December 18, 1915, Mr. Wilson married Edith (Bolling) Galt, a descendant of Pocahontas. The first 29 years of Mr. Wilson's life covered his boyhood and education. The next 25 were devoted to teaching and writing. With his election to the governorship of New Jersey in 1910 began his active political career. His chronology includes this: 1890—Professor of jurisprudence and political economy at Princeton. 1902—President of Princeton (first nonclerical). "George Washington" (1896; new edition, 1913). "The Free Life" (1908; new edition, 1913). "Constitutional Government in the United States" (1908). "Civic Problems" (1909). "History of the American People" (5 Vols., 1902; new edition, 1912). "The New Freedom" (1913). "When a Man Comes to Himself" (1915). QUIET SERVICE IS CONDUCTED QUIET SERVICE IS CONDUCTED FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS GATHER FOR SIMPLE FU- NERAL CEREMONY WILSON LAID TO REST AMERICA BIDS FAREWELL TO FORMER. PRESIDENT. FOR- EIGN ENVOYS ATTEND Washington.—Woodrow Wilson lies at rest. The grave enfolded his body; the hearts of his countrymen enshrined his memory. Under skies that dropped gray rain, they carried the warrior chieftain through the gateway called Peace and laid him down to sleep. The drip of rain from tree branches, the rustle of oak leaves clinging to their boughs, a sob in the crowd, the far-off boom of a gun, the solemn cadences of a bishop's voice—these marked the hour. Above his narrow bed arches the great unfinished structure of the national cathedral, typical of his unfinished work, but going on to completion, as his faith told him his work would go on. At 3 p. m. in the quiet home where Mr. Wilson died on Sunday, the voice of his pastor, Rev. James H. Taylor, of the Central Presbyterian Church, broke the funeral silence: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want—" Through the familiar words of the majestic psalm he moved, to its climax, breathing hope and peace. . . "And I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever." In the deepening hush rose a voice in prayer. It was Rev. Sylvester Beach, who was Mr. Wilson's spiritual advisor in the days of his presidency at Prince-ton university. Then Bishop James E. Freeman, head of the Episcopal diocese of Washington, opened a little khaki-covered Bible, sent to Mr. Wilson by a soldier in France—"one of his buddies"—a book which Mr. Wilson treasured above all others, because he felt it linked him to the men he sent to war, and whose sufferings he shared. Then the strong arms of soldiers, sailors and marines—picked men of the services Mr. Wilson commanded in the war—lifted the coffin and bore it to the hearse outside. Behind the body came the honorary palibearers, former classmates and associates of the dead president. They were Cleveland H. Dodge, Cyrus H. McCormick, Dr. E. P. Davis and Dr. Hiram Woods of the Princeton class of 1879, in which Mr. Wilson graduated; Frank L. Polk, David F. Houston, Newton D. Baker, Josephus Daniels, Albert S. Burleson, John Barton Payne, William C, Redfield, E. T. Meredith, Thomas W. Gregory, members of Mr. Wilson's cabinet and Senators Swanson and Glass of Virginia; former senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, Representative Garrett of Tennessee and Charles S. Hamlin of the federal reserve board. President and Mrs. Coolidge followed these, and then came the widow, the two daughters, Miss Margaret Wilson and Mrs. William G. McAdoo, William G. McAdoo, Joseph Wilson of Baltimore, a brother; John Ranooiph Bolling and Wilmer Bolling, brothers of Mrs. Wilson. Outside thousands had gathered and stood with bared heads in the rain. At the entrance to the Bethelhem chapel the doorway marked "The Way to Peace," the procession paused. From within came the majestic sound of Chopin's Funeral March. Bishop Freeman, in his robes, met the body. Bishop Freeman concluded the service, repeating verses from Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar," with its message of resignation and faith in God's goodness. Then the casket sank slowly into the stonework and from outside, beyond the double walls and where the gray end of a gray day was coming swiftly, the bugle rang out in "taps," the soldier farewell to a fallen comrade. There were only a few remaining about the chapel entrance as that last, clear message was sounded. They stood bareheaded and the soldier and marine guard at salute until the last note died. Behind them in the chapel, Mrs. Wilson was sobbing as she turned from the vanit with the members of the family to go back to the vacant chair beside the fireplace, and the books that waited for the friend they would see no more. Securities Duplicated. Washington.—Wholesale duplication of Liberty bonds of every issue since 1918 in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the implication of treasury officials, are included in the startling charges made by Charles B. Brewer special assistant to the attorney general, in a suit filed in the District of Columbia Supreme Court. Brewer sued after he had charged the Department of Justice with attempting to seize the evidence he had collected.

A PROCLAMATION To the People of the United States: The death of Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States from March 4, 1913, to March 4, 1921, which occurred at 11:15 o'clock today at his home at Washington, District of Columbia, deprives the country of a most distinguished citizen, and is an event which causes universal and genuine sorrow. To many of us it brings the sense of a profound personal bereavement. His early profession as a lawyer was abandoned to enter academic life. In this chosen field he attained the highest rank as an educator, and has left his impress upon the intellectual thought of the country. From the presidency of Princeton Univrsity he was called by his fellow citizens to be the chief executive of the state of New Jersey. The duties of this high office he so conducted as to win the confidence of the people of the United States, who twice elected him to the chief magistracy of the republic. As President of the United States he was moved by an earnest desire to promote the best interests of the country as he conceived them. His acts were prompted by high motives and his sincerity of purpose cannot be questioned. He led the nation through the terrific struggle of the world war with a lofty idealism which never failed him. Ht gave utterance to the aspiration of humanity with an eloquence which held the attention of all the earth and made America a new and enlarged influence in the destiny of mankind. In testimony of the respect in which his memory is held by the government and the people of the United States, I do hereby direct that the flags of the White House and of the several departmental buildings be displayed at half staff for a period of thirty days and that suitable military and naval honors under orders of the secretary of war and of the secretary of the navy may be rendered on the day of the funeral. Done at the city of Washington this third day of February, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-eighth.

Bryan, in a tribute to Woodrow Wilson, declared "He cannot be denied a place among the immortals; his failure to abolish war cannot dim the glory of that effort." Fall Refuses to Testify Washington.While the Senate oil inquiry was brought to a temporary standstill by the refusal of former Secretary Fall to testify, President Coolidge selected Atlee Pomerene, former Democratic senator from Ohio, in place of Thomas W. Gregory, to serve as general counsel with Silas H. Strawn in prosecuting the oil lease cases. At the same time the ground work was being laid in the Department of Justice for the institution of injunction suits to prevent further extraction of oil from California Reserve No.1 by the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Company and from the Teapot Dome reserve in Wyoming by the Mammoth Oil Company. Two Slain in Wyoming Battle Two Stain in Wyoming Battie Casper.—Alabama Slim Mitchell, who has a police record in Casper, and Frank Miller, antecedents unknown, were shot dead, and Deputy Sheriff James Thompson of Bonneville was wounded in a gun battle at Lysite, eighty miles west of Casper, word of the battle being brought to Casper by Charles Irving, former Casper policeman, who was with Thompson. Arkansas Governor Dismisses Warden Little Rock, Ark.—The Arkansas penitentiary commission has announced the dismissal of Ward-en Hamp Martin, who was kidnapped by three condemned murderers, confined in the "death house" at the penitentiary and forced to drive the prisoners from the prison in his automobile. The dismissal of the warden followed the declaration by Gov. T. C. McRae that the escape of the three prisoners undoubtedly was due to negligence of somebody within the prison walls." A. B. T. G.

WOODROW WILSON will go down in history as an idealist rather than a great statesman or strong party leader. True he possessed some elements of strength above and beyond that of many who have reached the pinnacle of chief executive of the greatest republic on earth, while at th same time he was obsessed with weakness that threatened his leadership in the closing days of his administration and that shattered and destroyed the temple of his ideals. He has been declared by some to have been an inspired apostle of democracy. We shudder at the designation for such would suggest a near approach to divinity. Lincoln, alone of all Americans came nearest the mark. However there is no denying the fact that we today witness the passing of a man whose influence in the unfettering of political bonds has been a potent factor and left a remarkable impress upon the history of his times. We have said he was an idealist and there are those who contend that the ideal is the only real. The issue is somewhat doubtful and rendered the more cloudy by the fact that while the Wilsonian ideals spread the gospel of liberty abroad in the world, the delightfully altruistic spirit did not extend to home affairs. In the very zenith of his power and at a time when his envisioned soul seemed to carry him to commanding heights, he was stricken with a malady that has lessened in severity only occasionally and today millions of Americans bow their head in grief as his body is returned to Mother Earth. The world will do honor to the name of Woodrow Wilson even though he was loved and hated in many lands. He fought a great fight and had a righteous faith in the valor of the American people and now that the battle has come to an end, none will deny to him a high place in America's HALL OF FAME. THE SPIRIT OF LINCOLN IT IS BUT little short of amusing abandon sprouting politicians and possessing the spirit of the great as a second Abraham Lincoln. I believe it was in the days when the slogan was being employed as a rule that the "boy orator of the Platte" points of contrast were pointed out warm hearted admirers of the gift for a day however. Nothing has follom man to give indication of those deeds made Lincoln the beloved of all people with many others whose temporary birth a supposed possession of the Lincoln our greatest human blessings that such that gave to him a sweetness of charm not be determined merely by the power the manner born and so infinite in almost immortal.

What is needed, and brood on the face of the earth and possibility and governmental authority, our state as well as national life and somewhat from the moorings of its coln to its strength and betterment. All are in the United States today solve world problems when a sufficient solved at home.

Nothing has followed in the loom of those deep, sterling qualities of all people and of all those temporary bid for public estates of the Lincoln ideals and spiritlessness that such qualities the sweetness of character and brevity by the pointing of the face so infinite in character as they strictly speaking there is no need is needed, and woefully, is that the earth and penetrate places of mental authority. The spirit of national life and even the chucoorings of its Master, could aided betterment. Let us face our States today. Too long when a sufficiency of vexing life has never been more of seas than now, nor has there ever law than at present. What city of our civilization with an american citizens. Some wiseacres, national decline and decay, as the pleasure mad people. Still political upheaval and revoltistic and money-greed industry definitely pointing the way out decalogue but we do need a toward none and justice to sweet fragrance of the SP. IT IS BUT little short of amusing these days to note with what reckless abandon sprouting politicians and pseudo statesmen are pointed to as possessing the spirit of the great Emancipator and hailed far and near as a second Abraham Lincoln. If our memory is not too faulty we believe it was in the days when the "cross of gold and crown of thorns" slogan was being employed as a rallying cry for wavering political hosts that the "boy orator of the Platte" was hailed as a second Lincoln. The points of contrast were pointed out with almost convincing precision by warm hearted admirers of the gifted Nebraskan. The contrast was but for a day however. Nothing has followed in the long public career of the man to give indication of those deep, sterling qualities of soul that has made Lincoln the beloved of all people and of all time. So it has been with many others whose temporary bid for public esteem has come through a supposed possession of the Lincoln ideals and spirit. It is perhaps one of our greatest human blessings that such qualities that made Lincoln great, that gave to him a sweetness of character and breadth of sympathy, cannot be determined merely by the pointing of the finger. Greatness is to the manner born and so infinite in character as to render the possessor almost immortal. Strictly speaking there is no need for another Lincoln at this time. What is needed, and woefully, is that the spirit of Lincoln brood on the face of the earth and penetrate places of high political responsibility and governmental authority. The spirit of Lincoln is needed in our state as well as national life and even the church of Christ, slipping somewhat from the moorings of its Master, could accept the spirit of Lincoln to its strength and betterment. Let us face conditions as they actually are in the United States today. Too long have we been trying to solve world problems when a sufficiency of vexing problems remain unsolved at home. There has never been more of selfishness nor a less regard for human rights than now, nor has there ever been more official taint and disregard of law than at present. What is the answer? Some say it is the complexity of our civilization with a too liberal sprinkling of hyphenated American citizens. Some wiseacres, prophets and religious zealots foresee our national decline and decay, as the visitation of a wrathful Providence upon a pleasure mad people. Still others claim to detect faint rumblings of a political upheaval and revolution, as a logical sequence to our capitalistic and money-greed industrial conditions. None of these seem to us as definitely pointing the way out. There is no need for a new golden rule or decalogue but we do need a just application of the principle, "with malice toward none and justice to all;" for in this we find the buried gem and sweet fragrance of the SPIRIT OF LINCOLN.

He is looking slightly to the right of the frame.] FREDERICK DOUGLASS AMERICAN history grants Frederick Douglass a high place among those leaders who had a formative influence in shaping the nation's destiny during its darkest hours and when human slavery rocked the very foundation upon which we stood. He was an orator and more for he carried a righteous message to peoples of many lands and won for his race the sympathies of those who held as a faith that of one blood God created all of mankind. He was a statesman and more, for he struck at the superstructure of a "mation half slave and half free" and aided in its reconstruction upon the surer foundation of freedom and justice. He was a patriot and more, for though he voiced the cries and anguish of his people bowed beneath the yoke of bondage, he glorified in the majesty of exalted American citizen as did Sumner, Garrison, Lincoln and other great men of his time. We commemorate his anniversary along with that of the great Emancipator for he was born February 14, 1817. There is a strange companionship in the part played by these two great characters in the history of our country. Neither knew compromise and neither could be shaken from a righteous cause that in the ultimate meant equality before the law and equality of opportunity for all citizens without regard to race or color.

My dear Mr. Burdine: The department is in receipt of your request for retirement under the provisions of the retirement act, made entirely on your own initiation.

Electrified farms will add ten to twenty years to their lives. Electrification of farms is therefore inevitable, and the problem of all interested in rural betterment is to hasten the day when each farm will have its complete electric plant. Mrs. Wanza Thompson is doing fine. Mr. James, who has not been feeling so well, is better. Impassioned pleas have long been made that the farms of the United States should develop a brighter, more attractive form of life and thus end the menacing drift of rural life to the big cities. It has been said the bright lights must be taken to the farm if we are to keep the farmers from coming to the bright lights. That is all correct. Sunday evening communion was administered to members of the second Baptist Church, it being the first Sunday in the month. But first we must see that the farmer earns the price of the bright lights. This cannot be done by legislation, as some believe, but by intelligent co-operation and leadership. Mrs. Mary White has been suffering with her foot lately, but she is some better now. Saturday night, the 2nd, Rev. Ward was expected for the second district conference. The future of the farm in America lies in providing recreation which will keep the boy and girl in the industry. The price of this recreation must be secured by efficiency. In the country recreation and education should go hand in hand. Where this is the case, recreation and efficiency bring each other. Rev. Carey delivered a wonderful sermon to the women Sunday afternoon. It was a real message. After the message and she gave altar call, everyone in the room left their seats, and each was blessed. The importance of the recreation movement to the farm and small town cannot be overestimated. It is the binder through which the economic education can be given. Its importance is fully recognized by leaders in farm work, and the widespread good which it is already doing is indicated by the fact that 700,000 rural boys and girls are now enrolled in boys' and girls' work for education and recreation. THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK Perfect Illustration of What We Have to Expect From Foreign Competition By GLENN GRISWOLD, in Chicago Journal of Commerce. They tell us that the brick cost but $4 a thousand, f. o. b. Amsterdam, and the freight charge across the ocean is another $4. This lays the brick down in New York at $8, a price less than the actual cost of manufacture in the brickyards that line the Hudson river. The American brickmaker receives approximately the same wages for a single day's work that is paid to the Dutch laborer at the end of a week. This is a perfect illustration of what we have to expect by way of foreign competition. Furthermore, it demonstrates the paucity of thought on the part of those who hold that labor cannot be deflated. If present conditions continue, brick labor in this country will deflate itself. The same is true of other labor that violates fundamental economic laws in the toll it takes of industry. There is another and even more important lesson to be learned. It costs as much to move this brick a few miles along the Hudson river as it does to bring it across the Atlantic. Again we prove to ourselves that the great waste of industry is not in the production of the stuff we use, but in its distribution. WE HAVE no bananas" nor any oil that we know of in Dearfield. But we have some good fertile farm land with oil prospects all around, but we are not selling oil lands or land at oil land prices just now. There may be oil under Dearfield but we have no means to find out whether there is or not, but we do know the land raises the finest pumpkins, squash, beans, corn, potatoes, water-melons, cabbage, tomatoes, and the land also furnishes the finest kind of food for raising poultry, cows, pigs and everything that one can exist upon on the surface of the earth is produced from the sandy soils of Dearfield. "Knowing as We Do That Life Without Beauty Is Mutilated Existence" By RALPH ADAMS CRAM, in Arts and Decoration. Beauty is a real test of value, and when it is lost there is nothing that can take its place but a sense of humor—and the two are apt to live and die together. Beauty is also much more a "natural right" of man than is the electoral franchise or the "right" of free speech. It is not an amenity of life, for it is an essential of good living, but it is a great joy and a great compensation. For both these reasons we need it back, knowing as we do that without it life is only mutilated existence, while false gods reign unchallenged on their thrones. Beauty is myriad in its manifestations; art deals with a dish or a doghouse just as it does with a painted canvas, a carved statue or a cathedral. You cannot produce art by intensive use of picture galleries, public lectures and art schools, if beauty is ruled out of common life and ugliness takes its place. eW are selling five, ten and one-hundred sixty acre tracts at the same old, list price until some geologist goes down four thousand feet below where we are working and finds oil and then, no telling at this time, just what the price will be. If you buy now you will get land at farm prices and we will leave it to you to fix the oil price when oil is assured under your land, but now is the time to buy in Dearfield if you think there is oil there or if you want a good home in the country at a reasonable price where there is a prospect for oil. By some miracle of reversal, and in spite of the more flamboyant appearances, this desire for beauty has begun to come back, and in so far as we are able we here in this magazine propose to do what we can to foster this desire and to meet it. "When He Was Barely 30, on a Dazzling Height of Irresponsible Power" Five acre tracts sell for $350 to $1,000. Ten acre tracts for $500 to $1,500. One hundred sixty acres for $25.00 to $50.00 per acre on payments or cash. By FORMER PREMIER ASQUITH, in "Genesis of the War." The premature and tragic death of his father, the Emperor Frederick, the most blameless and liberal-minded figure in the annals of the Hohenzollern dynasty, placed him, when he was barely thirty, on a dazzling height of irresponsible power. His grandfather, through the agency of Bismarck and Moltke, had secured for the old Kingdom of Prussia the imperial crown of a new and united Germany. The secular enemy, France, had been crushed and mutilated, and was for the time, at any rate, put out of action. The Hapsburg monarchy was no longer a danger; it had become, indeed, a docile if not a subservient friend. Better see us right now and get in on the ground floor before oil is struck in Dearfield. If either of the wells now being drilled near Dearfield should bring in oil all Dearfield lands will be withdrawn from the market as an agricultural proposition. Signed, O. T.

With Russia it had been, from first to last, Bismarck's persistent policy to prevent the possibility of serious quarrel. England sat remote in her sea-girt isolation, almost (it seemed) as far aloof as the United States of America from the sphere of continental politics. Never in modern times had a young ruler succeeded to so splendid and seemingly so secure an inheritance. Michaelson's Thirty Years Ago Government Decided to Make the Indian Self-Supporting CORNER 15TH AND LARIMER STREETS By SENATOR LAWRENCE C. PHIPPS, of Colorado. It is appalling to hear that in spite of the great amount of money which the Indian bureau has expended in all these years for salaries for its officials, who now number 6,000 white men besides 12,000 Indians, the Indian is not advancing to any appreciable extent. The amount appropriated by congress for the Indian bureau for 1887 was $5,000,000; the 1920 budget called for $15,000,000. Michaelson's Clearance Sale differs from pretty nearly all others, because it takes in all the merchandise in every department, throughout the establishment. Disinterested authorities are credited with the statement that this lack of advance and increase of expenditure are due to mismanagement and to a system unsuited to the object to be accomplished. Head-to-foot wearing apparel for man, woman and child. It was over thirty years ago, in 1887, that the government decided to make the Indians self-supporting men and women and promised that when they became capable of holding property in the same manner as the white man they should receive individual grants or patents.

FOREIGN Signing of the Russo-Italian treaty has been postponed to give Lenin's successor, Alexiv Rykov, time to study it. The coming trial of Gen.

The Indianaoma Refining Company, a $5,000,000 oil corporation, with its principal office in St. Louis and branches at Tulsa, Okla., and other southwestern cities, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in Federal Court at St. Louis. The petition, signed by W. O. Shock, president, scheduled liabilities of $2,730,378 and assets of $4,351,257, of which $134.30 is cash on hand. The petition admits the company owes considerable sums which it is unable to pay. Adopting the Walsh oil lease annulment by the unanimous vote of the eighty-nine senators present, the Senate plunged into what promises to be a historic and extremely bitter fight over the Robinson resolution requesting the President to call immediately for the resignation of Secretary Denby. The admiration and esteem with which the late Woodrow Wilson was regarded in Japan is testified to in scores of messages which poured into the American embassy at Tokio from leading Japanese citizens and statesmen and diplomats from other nations NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY WESTERN More than 2,000 furniture dealers from all parts of the West gathered in San Francisco for the furniture dealers convention which was held in connection with Furniture Market week. Fire of mysterious origin in Los Angeles destroyed a large portion of the Lincoln park amusement zone and did damage estimated at $18,000, according to investigating officers. The fire is believed to have started in the magic carpet concession, when it was discovered by a night watchman. Many Catholic dignitaries, including the Most Rev. Pietro Fmansoni-Blondi, apostolic delegate to the United States, and prelates from practically every diocese in the West., participated in the formal reopening in Las Angeles of St. Vibiana's cathedral, built in 1876, but closed last year for extensive repairs and enlargements. Six employees and depositors of the Seventeenth and Market street branch of the Bank of Italy in San Francisco were held up and locked in the bank's vault by three bandits, who then looted the institution of $7,000, escaping in a waiting automobile driven by a fourth bandit, who waited outside. The alarm was given by a janitor, who eluded the bandits by hiding in a closet. He released the imprisoned employees and depositors. The principals of six high schools in Oakland, Calif., sent out a joint letter to the parents or guardians of all high school students warning them against "joy-rides, the perversion of modern dancing, the illegality of smoking by minors and the danger of an over-supply of spending money" and asking them to impose modest dress on the girls at all times. The letter was approved by Fred M. Hunter, city superintendent of schools. J. B. Strauss, Chicago engineer, has arrived in San Francisco to confer with San Francisco officials in charge of the Golden Gate bridge project. Financing of the proposed bridge, estimated to cost $21,000,000, would be effected by creating a bridge district including those counties that would benefit by the structure. "No time will be lost once the decision to build the bridge is made." Mr. Strauss asserted. He believes the span could be completed within four years. WASHINGTON By direction of the Berlin government the German embassy has refrained from making any display of mourning for Woodrow Wilson. No flag has been flown over the embassy at any time since Mr. Wilson's death, although the other embassies and legations have had their colors half-masted since the official notification reached them. Plans for the formation of a $10,-000,000 corporation by private interests to provide assistance to agriculture with the aid of the War Finance Corporation, if needed, and other recommendations indorsed by the conference called by President Coolidge' to consider the situation in the Northwest, were outlined in the form of a report for the President's consideration. In its latest search for valuable mineral wealth the government is sending a party of expert engineers on a midwinter expedition to the tip of Alaska on the Arctic to survey some 36,000 square miles of uncharted wilderness, rugged mountain chains and large stretches of undulating treeless plains. More than one-sixth of the entire land area of the country was used in growing farm crops last year. The Department of Agriculture calculates the total acreage of all crops at 372,829,000 acres, or 582,608 square miles. Farm crops produced, not merely those sold, had a hypothetical total value of $9,470,976,000 in 1923, or almost a billion dollars more than in 1922. The funeral of former President Wilson consisted of a brief private service at the S street residence last Wednesday. This service was followed by another at Bethlehem chapel, in the cathedral at Mount St. Albans, where the body was placed in a vault until arrangements are made as to a final resting place. It was decided not to hold a state funeral as proposed by some, or to have the body lie in state at the Capitol. Senator Walsh of Montana will try to send Albert B. Fall to jail unless Fall agrees to tell the Senate public lands committee the full story of the naval oil reserve leases. Walsh flung this challenge at Fall after the former secretary of the interior had flatly refused to answer any questions before the committee, which seeks more light on the unpaid loans aggregating 125,000, made to him by E. L. Doheny and Harry F. Sinclair, whose oil companies obtained leases of naval oil reserves from him while he was secretary of the interior.

The kitchen is equipped with a sink, a table, and various kitchen utensils hanging on the wall. This Housekeeper Has Arranged Her Kitchen Conveniently. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) It may be a truism to say that the kitchen is the housekeeper's workshop. She spends almost a third of her waking hours in this one room—sometimes more. It should be made just as comfortable, attractive and convenient as means and time permit. Often a slight rearrangement of the furnishings reduces the number of steps to be taken. Raising a table, lowering a shelf or putting casters on a woodbox may save the housewife many a backache. In Virginia an effort has been made in a number of counties, particularly in Albemarle, Wythe, Prince William, Powhitchen, Henrico, Mecklenburg and Goochland counties, to improve farm kitchens. A mirror was put in corner to reflect light. A child in the kitchen, built the right for the child, held a bucket of basin and soap dish; a lower was made for overshoes.

FRESH FISH OR CLA CHOWDERS ARE G Excellent Recipes W Kitchen Improvement Contests. Kitchen Improvement Contests. Extension workers under the direction of the Virginia Polytechnic institute and the United States Department of Agriculture have organized kitchen improvement contests in which many women have competed. Prizes have been given by interested business firms, consisting of labor-saving devices of every description, from a first-rate stove to a folding step ladder. The following abbreviated list of achievements made by these Virginia housewives is rich in ideas for other housekeepers. Any woman with energy and ingenuity could find equally convenient ways to improve her own kitchen. Attention was given to the walls, ceilings and floors in almost every case, before anything else. Worn and ragged paper was removed, the surfaces were cleaned, cracks and breaks were filled, and usually a new finish of water or oil paint applied. Floors were gone over with care, cracks filled, and waterproof varnish put on; where there was old linoleum it was frequently cleaned and varnished to prolong its life. Many Little Helps. Window shades were reversed so that the good end was visible instead of the cracked and faded end. White shoe cleaner improved several. Old long curtains were cut off to make new sash curtains. One woman brightened a dark corner by tacking white crepe paper with a Dutch landscape design in blue, behind the glass of the pot cupboard. Another tacked strips of white oilcloth back of the wash table and the oil stove to protect the wall. A third put a strip of oil cloth on two sides of the room, on which it was convenient to hang saucepans. A great many housekeepers fitted their A woman is peeling an apple in a bowl. Why Not Take It Easy While Paring Apples? work tables and other small tables or improvised wheel trays with casters so they could be easily rolled about. A number of these tables were painted white so as to be kept clean more easily, or covered with oilcloth. Place for Odds and Ends. One mother had an old unsightly box for stowing away shoes and other small articles constantly in use by the children as they came in or went out. She fitted this with a shelf, painted it white, and screened it with a curtain of oilcloth. Chairs and rockers were painted and refurnished with cretonne cushions in a number of instances. Several women evolved homemade sinks by using cement and an old dishpan. Round mats made from scraps of linoleum and treated with spar varnish were useful to put hot saucepans or when lifting them from the stove. Large black pot-lifters were obtained at no cost from old stockings. Pieces of rubber hose fitted on the faucets of the kitchen sink prevented chipping of dishes. A mirror was put in a dark corner to reflect light. A child's shelf in the kitchen, built the right height for the child, held a bucket of water, basin and soap dish; a lower shelf was made for overshoes. Racks for brooms and mops were made of large spools held in place by long nails. It was a feature of the competition that all improvements should be as inexpensive as possible, and so far as practicable, utilize materials and furnishings already on hand. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Fresh fish or clam chowder and oyster stew are good dishes in localities where fresh sea food is abundant. Dried and salt fish or vegetables alone may also be used as the flavoring in attractive and wholesome chowders. The ingredients are milk, whole or skim; a fatty substance, which is usually salt pork, though butter may be used; potatoes or crackers, often both; and in addition to these one of the following: Fish, either fresh or salt; green corn, fresh or canned; parsnips, vegetable oysters, kohl-rabi, or celery. A chowder consisting mainly of milk, potatoes, and crackers, and flavored with a little salt codfish is perhaps the most economical of these dishes. The following recipes have been tested by the United States Department of Agriculture: Salt-Codfish ½ pound salt cod- fish, or just enough to flavor. 3 cups cooked potatoes, or diced carrots and potatoes. to flavor. $1\frac{1}{2}$ ounces or $1\frac{1}{2}$ cubic inches fat salt pork. 1 quart milk. 8 soda crack- ers (about 2 ounces). 1 tablespoonful of ers (about 2 chopped onion. ounces). Break the codfish into small pieces, soak it in lukewarm water until it is soft and the salt has been removed. Cut the pork into small pieces and cook it until a delicate brown, adding the onions during the last part of the cooking. To the pork and the onions add the potatoes; cover with water, and boil them until tender. Add the milk and the fish and reheat. Add the crackers shortly before the chowder is served. Corn or Vegetable Chowder. The same general directions can be followed for making corn chowder as for salt-codfish chowder, one pint of corn being substituted for the codfish. If fresh corn is used, it should be cooked with the potatoes. Any one, or a combination of two or more vegetables may be used in the same way as the fresh corn (that is, cooked with potatoes) in making a chowder. Potato Chowder. % pound salt pork, or other fat. 1. 1 pound o'ful 2. 1 tablespoonful 1 table spoonful chopped onion. 1 tablespoonful flour. 6 medium-sized potatoes. 1 pint milk. 1 pint water. 1 tablespoonful but- 1 teaspoonful salt. Fry the pork and onion together until both are a delicate brown. Put a layer of sliced potatoes into a kettle, then a layer of onion and pork, and sprinkle with salt. Repeat this until those materials are all used. Pour over them the grease from the pan in which the pork and onion were fried, and add the water. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Thicken the milk with the flour mixed with the fat and pour it over the potatoes. Stir carefully so as not to break the potatoes. Serve very hot. Learn to Make Bread Very nearly 36,000 farm girls were enrolled in 1922 in the bread clubs conducted by co-operative extension workers, according to reports to the United States Department of Agriculture, and they baked during the year over 415,000 loaves of bread. In other words, 36,000 girls learned by practice, last year, what it takes to make a good loaf of bread and how to make it. Darn Thin Stockings. When thin places appear in stockings, darn them before wearing, as a weak patch will soon work into a hole.

FAVORITE RECIPES This is the time of the year when everyone likes to try his hand at making candy. Here is one worth while: Nut and Date Chocolate. — Heat one-quarter of a cupful of honey, or maple sirup, to the boiling point: Nut and Date Chocolate. Heat one-quarter of a cupful of honey, or maple sirup, to the bolling point; add one-half pound of sweet coating chocolate and let stand over hot water until the chocolate is soft throughout; add one package of dates, cut into quarters, one-half cupful of almonds, cut into shreds, and one tenspoonful of vanilla extract. Mix well with a wooden spoon until well-blended. Have ready a brick ice-cream mold or a square-cornered breadpan lined with waxed paper. Press the confection well into the mold and cover with a weight. Let stand in a cold place until firm; remove the paper and cut in slices. Cottage Cheese Pie.—Take one cupful of cottage cheese, two-thirds of a cupful of maple sirup, two-thirds of a cupful of milk, the yolks of two well-beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a little salt and one-half teaspoonful of grated nutmeg. Mix in the order given and bake in one crust. Cool slightly, cover with a merlingue and brown in a slow oven. Raisin Paste for Sandwiches.—Take two cupfuls of raisins, washed, dried and put through a meat grinder; add one-half cupful of orange juice, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, one teaspoonful of salt, one cupful of ground nut meats or one-half cupful of peanut butter. Mix smooth and pack into jelly glasses and cover. This will keep some time. Carrot and Nut Sandwiches.—Mix together one-half cupful each of ground fresh carrots and chopped pecans, peanuts or walnuts. Add one-half teaspoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne, one teaspoonful of lemon juice and one-half tablespoonful of olive oil. Mix thoroughly and spread on slices of buttered bread. If an omelet or part of one is left try the Italian method of serving this left-over: Cut the omelet into strips, heat in butter, sprinkle with grated cheese and serve with a celery or tomato sauce. This is a choice dish, not a left-over. When making chicken pie add a cupful of cooked salsify to the chicken when making the pie. It is not only a meat extender, but adds flavor. Never give a moment to complain, but utilize the time that would otherwise be spent in this way, in looking forward and actualizing the conditions, you desire.—Ralph Waldo Trine. WINTER GOOD THINGS As fresh vegetables are either not in the market, or are too expensive for the average family, it is necessary to use the canned vegetables. Many delicious concoctions may be prepared from such foods. where there is a fine garden the tender young carrots are put up in the summer for use in the winter; but in almost any market from this time on one may buy a bunch of fresh carrots which will serve for several dishes, thus cutting down on the expense. Apple Souffle.—Stew good, tart apples as for apple sauce, adding a bit of lemon juice and grated peel. Spread the stewed apple sauce around the sides and bottom of a buttered baking dish. Make a custard of two eggs, a pint of milk mixed with two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and one-third of a cupful of sugar; flavor with nutmeg or cinnamon; cook and cool, then pour carefully into the apple-lined dish. Beat the whites of two eggs; add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and cover the top. Brown in a moderate oven and serve cold. Baked Potatoes and Peas.—Allow one-quarter of a pound of bacon to each half-dozen potatoes and pint of peas. Wash the potatoes and cut into halves. Scoop out the inside of the potato, leaving a cavity. Sprinkle this cavity with salt and pepper and fill with seasoned peas. Place a bit of bacon on top of each, place in a pan in the oven and bake until done. The peas should be drained of all liquor, and onion with minced parsley may be added, if desired. Apples Stuffed With Raisins and Nuts.—Core half a dozen apples and remove the peeling of half of each apple. Put one-half cupful of water in a saucepan; into this set the apples, the unpeeled part in the water, as this keeps them from losing their shape. Turn and baste during the cooking until the apples are tender. Set them carefully in a baking pan and fill the centers with one-third cupful of raisins and the same of chopped nuts. Sprinkle them with sugar and bake in a moderate oven until glazed. Serve with the sirup poured around them. The KITCHEN CABINET "Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea? How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea." "The gentle fair on nervous tea relies. While gay good nature sparkles in her eyes." EVENING TEA The serving of tea gives one the opportunity for social intercourse and rare sociability, excuse enough for a cup of the beverage "which cheers but not inebriates." On Sunday night our New England ancestors liked a are sociably excuse enough for a cup of the beverage "which cheers but not inebriates." On Sunday night our New England ancestors liked a bowl of mush and creamy milk, with a bit of salt codfish for an appetizer. For those of their sturdy and less practical descendants a more palatable supper to them may be found in the following suggestions: Oysters cooked in the chafing dish are a well-liked supper dish. They may be served as a stew, in a white sauce on toast, or fried. When fried, dip them in milk, then in seasoned crumbs and fry in butter to give them just the right flavor. Be sure they are well-cooked through, but not overdone and tough; either condition is most undesirable. The salad has now come to have such an important place in the luncheon, dinner or supper menu that no such meal seems complete unless provided with some kind of a salad. Even in the cold climates lettuce may be found at a reasonable price. If used, a leaf or two of head lettuce lasts quite a while in a small family. Place it in an earthen jar with just the moisture left after giving it a good washing, cover closely and keep in a cool place; it will be crisp and fresh to the last leaf. Parsley, too, washed and put into a pint or quart jar, sealed and kept where it is cool will keep for two weeks. It may need-a dipping into water once during the time to revive it, but the moisture keeps it fresh and green. If there are little people to have supper with the grownups, drop a little sugar slurp on animal crackers and press them in the center of a salted wafer in a standing position. They will soon be firm. The children like these and they are better for them than cake, especially of the rich varieties. For a simple supper dessert there is nothing nicer than sponge cakes with a dish of canned fruit. These may be drop cakes, baked in gem pans, or in a loaf or roll, as one's fancy dictates. Fried sardines make a nice supper dish; drain them from their oil, dip in lemon juice and saute or fry in deep fat. Serve with lemon slices garnished with parsley. To see what you do with your chance in the chamber of doom A salad is always welcome and thrice welcome if offering something new and appetizing. Dutch Salad.—Flake one small herring and cut into fine pieces, mix with one cupful of cooked, minced ham and shredded fowl or veal.

Cut into dice the same quantity of cooked beets, a cucumber pickle and one pint of boiled potatoes with one small onion, minced. Dress with three tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar and eight of olive oil, one-half teaspoonful of French mustard and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped hard-cooked egg, capers and stoned olives. Uncooked Mincemeat.—Take two cupfuls of chopped cooked beef, five cupfuls of chopped apples, three cupfuls of raisins, one cupful of molasses, four cupfuls of brown sugar, one cupful each of vinegar and clder, one cupful of chopped suet, one tablespoonful of cinnamon, a tablespoonful of cloves and a grating of nutmeg. This makes a gallon and will keep if kept in a cold place until used. It may be cooked and canned and will then keep indefinitely. Orange Gelatin Cake.—Bake a sponge cake in two layer pans. Prepare jelly of gelatin and orange juice or use the prepared kind, molding it in one of the layer tins. When stiff place on one layer and cover with another of cake. Frost with orange ice. Prune Tapioca.—Wash fifteen large prunes and put to soak overnight. Take three-fourths of a cupful of tapioca and soak in twice the amount of water. Stone and chop the prunes. Add enough water to the liquid to make four and one-half cupfuls. Bring to boil with the prunes, tapioca, one cupful of sugar and one-half teaspoonful of salt.

New and Staple Lingerie; Tailored Frock Is Favorite JUST now the stores are emphasizing their lingerie stocks and showing all that is new in underthings for spring. The variety of styles is great enough to please different tastes and a few innovations in garments are having their try-outs; long-established favorites are shown with variations in trimming and little new finishing touches. The ribbon shoulder strap seems to have outdistanced its rivals and appears on nearly all garments, sometimes in the double strap as shown in the step-in at the left of the picture. There are several style points worth noting in this model, and leading them all is its simplicity and the fineness of material, trimmings and work. It is made of crepe de chine and there is THE LADY THE FASHION THE LADY'S LUNCHROOM Step-In and Knicker Combination a band of Irish crochet insertion across the front and back, with narrow Irish edging set along its edges. The hemline is scalloped and finished with a very narrow edging—a little fullness is introduced at the hips and a small piece of the crepe de chine set on the underside reinforces the underarm portion. A pretty medallion is posed at the left side in an open pattern of the lace. A knicker and camisole combination is shown on the figure at the right, with wide flouces set on above the knees. Batiste serves to make this model and it has no trimming except bands of insertion set in below the top of the camisole. Satin ribbon is used for the shoulder straps and it belongs to the class of underwear called suitings—for there twill, flannel, char weaves to choose fr Scarf collars and coat frock and the stment that is become dresses and in suits models, in barred f presented, with straps skirts—the boyish l with women who an or traveling South. silk are often worn and smart outfits amusing masculine If the styles apply to the summerland taken as an index of later in the North, flannel in suits and 5. THE FASHION WEEKLY L "tallored." It is another straw in the wind that blows in the direction of tailored suits, tailored millinery and other tailored clothes for spring and it will certainly afford an ideal undergarment for walking. Women are finding good silk underwear as economical in the long run as cotton, and fine cotton as dainty and handsome as silk. The latter is very easy to launder. The better grades of cotton and silk and sheer linen are durable enough to make handwork worth while. "Handmade" has always been the stamp of quality and is just now in great demand. It can be afforded by every needlewoman. Stylists are agreed that tailored modes are in the air—and that the public seems to be listening in eagerly for them. Already a warm welcome has been given to tailored hats and pillinery is usually the forerunner of the fashions. The tailored frock, the coat frock and the two-piece suits are --- on the way—with equal chances for finding approval, but only spring can tell which one will prove the favorite—all are in the running. There are some trim and snappy coat-frocks among the first tailored garments to arrive, and they include models with high collars, others with scarf collars and still others with cape effects. One of the last is shown in the picture. This is a very simple affair—which is a strong point in its favor—fastening at the waistline and a little to one side. The long collar is edged with a plaited ribbon and the cape-like sleeves lined with a printed silk that provides also an undersleeve gathered in at the wrist. The narrow girdle is made of the material, which might be any of the smooth-faced 2 suitings—for there are broadcloth, twill, flannel, charmeen and other weaves to choose from. Scarf collars and tunes vary the coat frock and the scarf is an attachment that is becoming noteworthy in dresses and in suits. Many two-piece models, in barred flannel, have been presented, with straight coats and plain skirts—the boyish lines finding favor with women who are already arrived or traveling South. Stock collars of silk are often worn with these simple and smart outfits that achieve an amusing masculine air. If the styles approved by visitors to the summerland resorts may be taken as an index of what is coming later in the North, we are to wear flannel in suits and frocks, capes and I Trim and Snappy Coat-Frock coats. And in its company are alpaca and other lightweight firmlywoven goods that will make the summer suit a joy. Navy blue is scheduled for a triumphant return also, and there is little question that certain soft shades of green, already displayed in suits and coats and frocks, will add to the cheerfulness and the beauty of spring clothes.
