THE PRIMARY INDICATED.

w GESteF Alty freeman tribune
The ;lction of the republican county
convention in declining to depart from
the primary system of making nomi-
nations of candidates for county office
shows that a large majority of the re-
publicans of the county are satisfied
with present methods and have no de-
sire to return to the old nominating
convention plan.
That there are defects in the primary
system is admitted; that some means
should be devised to prevent other
than republicans voting is not denied;
that multiplicity of candidates mud
dies the average voter and makes a de-
cision hard to reach is conceded, but
with all it's faults it is preferable to a
large majority of republicans over the
old convention plan where the average
voter had absolutely nothing to say as
to who should be the nominees of his
party Under the primary plan now in
vogue all republicans are placed upon
an equal footing. The individual can
express his choice of candidates and
the candidate who receives the largest
number of votes is nominated without
going thru the Formally of untang-
ling a large amount of red tape.
The Freeman Tribune advocated the
adoption of the primary plan for ten
or twelve years before the republicans

HOW MARVIN SPENT HIS MONEY.
Shenandoah SentineLG
But there are many, little expenses
at the ST.. Louis fair that no one thinks
of in advance. The moment you en-
ter the grounds and until you leave you
are besat on every hand for money
and you will give up some that you
did not intend to when you entered.
First is the official guide book. TWEEN
ty-five cents. You have to have it to
see the fair intelligently. Program of
the days events, ten cents. If the sun
is shining bright you are beset to buy
smoked glasses to save your ewes,
and you buy, thirtyfive cents. On
every hand souvenirs ARE offered for
sale and the temptation is great, and
so you buy. You pass a nickelin-t the
slot machine that volunteers to take
your photograph. You don't believe
it and drop a nickel in and out comes
your picture mounted on a card. An
other nickel in- the-sl machine an
nounces that 1t will call out your
exact weight for nickel, and you try
it and the machine shouts out your
weight before the nickel has reached
the bottom. You stop to look at some
new device and the gentleman or lady
in charge conyinees you that you
need it and you buy. You did not in
tend to do 1t but you do and SO 1t
goes. You pass the Japanese tea
gardens and see the Japanese girls
in native costume serving tea and
cakes. You don't want any tea but
you want the experience and so you
sit down and are waited on by the
dalntiest little foreign girl you ever saw
and she thanks you so sweetly for the
fee and the tip you gave her that
you are glad you stopped. And then
on the pike you spend twice as much
as you intended You don't have TO
do it, but you do it just the same.
When you have done your best to
economize you will find at the end of
six days that you have spent twenty
five dollars besides your railroad fare.
1t is Very easy to spend twice that.
But the experience and the knowledge
gained is worth all il costs The boy
or girl over ten years old will gain as
much knowledge there as in years
schooling.

How to Serve Portions OF Turkey
Left over From the Feast.
After your Christmas dinner you will
probably find that you nave Il goodly
portion of turkey left This has hap
as result many ways have been de-
vised for preparing these left over
scraps of turkey meat This does not
mean the large white slices of the
breast, for this portion of the meat can
be simply arranged on platter and
eaten as it is.
A salad Of the white meat of turkey
is as good as if not better than chicken
salad, says the Buffalo Times. Take
one cup of turkey meat rather coarsely
chopped, one cup of celery, also rather
coarseIy chopped, and the whites of
three hard boiled eggs, also chopped.
Put the yolks of the hard boiled eggs
into a bowl and mash and then pour
over them three tablespoonfuls of
melted butter or pure olive oil; into
this, one of mustard, with dash of
red pepper; then thin with half cup
Of good vinegar.
Another way to use the white meat
of turkey is to chop it fine, then put a
spoonful of cranberry sauce that has
been run through colander in the
bottom of d mold or small bowl, on
this layer of chopped turkey, then q
layer of cranberry, and so on till the
mold is full. Press hard and put in a
cold place till ready for use, then turn
out on platter.
Turkey croquettes are also excellent
Take one cup of turkey meat chopped
fine, one cup Of breadcrumbs, one
spoonful of butter and two of cream;
season with salt and pepper, mold into
little fancy shaped cakes and fry.
Turkey patties are made exactly as
are chicken patties. TO one cup of
turkey take one cup of turkey gravy
or one cup of water made rich by a
generous lump of butter, season and
thicken with a little flour, pour into
pastry shells and bake in a quick oven

Good Authority Tells How to Do IT
With Neatness md Dispatch.
In recent years have learned just
how to pick and pack apples to tie
best advantage I used to spend twice
us much effort and labor on this jolt
as We're required. The great majority
of apple growers could save Il great
deal Of trouble and expense in apple
packing if they would but learn how
to do it right Most of them imagine
that the apples have TO be put in piles
IN the orchard to sweat" No greater
mistake was ever made in this line.
This plan involves Il large addition of
labor, makes the work more tedious
and disagreeable, and at tie same time
results in Il positive injury to the APP
pearance Of the fruit in the barrel.
From an experience gathered from
picking a large number of barrels oil
apples during the past few years /
know positively that the apples which
come out Of cold storage in best shape
and will stand up best and longest aft
SlNd1d atlC lllCct5 That MGIGs put Ill
rectly into the barrels as picked from
the trees. All our apples are barreled
up, headed I'D and nailed up within
half an hour after they are gathered
from the tree and usually in cold
storage within day or two after they
are barreled. The apples are not al
lowed to touch the ground.
With a proper sorting table standing
within easy reach from the nearest two
or three trees one man can fill the bar
rels and another head and nail them
about as fast as three or four or per-
haps half dozen men can strip them
off the trees and empty them on the
sorting table All this means quick
business. and nothing is as tiresome
and time taking for any one as the job
of picking and sorting the fruit from
a big heap on the ground. In the lat
ter case every apple has to be handled
over
With a sorting table the man tending
it simply handles the poor apples and
the few with the small branches left
on and lets all the good fruit roll by
him into the barrel This style of han
ding apples also insures honest sorting
and packing. The apples go into the
barrel just as they come. There is no
chance for filling lot of trash into the
center of the barrel The trash all goes
to the ground, to be gathered up later
for cider or the pigs.-T. Greiner in

Amateur orchid Growing.

Many amateurs seem to view these
orchids as an aristocratic kind OF
plant, which are never comfortable and
at home with the meaner subjects of
the greenhouse. Those who are sup
posed TO know say, however, that there
are many varieties indigenous to cool
er mountainous regions which may be
grown TO perfection in the ordinary
greenhouse If one goes in for orchids
they must of course. be prepared to
pamper to certain fads and fancies as
to position and treatment for which
these quaint subjects are noted such,
for instance. as lacking the plants on
to blocks of wood or giving them
crooks instead of soil But a keen in
terest will soon be awakened once the
cultural treatment is acquired. and

How to Remove Spots From Leather.
Oxalic acid, in weak solution, is the
best thing to use when removing spots
from leather. Two or three crystals
of oxalic acid dissolved in warm wa

the spots will do the work. But one
must watch closely, and as soon as the
spot disappears apply water to over
