above that Maxwell performed
the major portion of his work for
his term without qualifying ac-
cording to law, during which time
he presented to the board one
quarters estimates which the
board allowed in part. 1t does
not appear that Mr.. Maxwell's po-
sition was questioned at this time,
which was "a days before he
qualified, according to Mr.. Grit
fth's "opinion.
The question naturally presents
itself then, why did the board
recognize Mr.. Maxwell under eX-
isting conditions? If he was not
qualified why did they entrust
him with receipts, for the board
did entrust him with receipts
prior TO his taking the oath of
office, Notwithstanding Mr.. Grit
fith's allel cation to the contrary.
There is no. doubt at all that most
of the receipts for poll tax issued
in district 20 were issued prior to
July "a, 1903. The editor of this
paper has one which was issued
to him dated July End, and signed
by l. D. Maxwell. This, in fact,
the county attorney admits in his
remarkable "opinion" three lines
below where he first disputes it.
And with his usual aptitude for
making a monkey of himself the
unfortunate man rushes to his
destruction in the following por-
ton of his opinion: THAT the
said l. D. Maxwell, after qualify
ing, failed to comply with the
statutes, that he did not notify
persons liable to poll tax" this,
after admitting that Maxwell had
performed most of the work prior
to his qualifying for the position,
therefore, how in the name of
Blackstone, Choate, or Susan B.
Anthony or whoever happens to
be Mr.. Grifith's patron saint,
could Maxwell perform this work
without notifying those subject
to road tax? How could he get
those men to work on the road
unless he was in a position to
give them receipts? How could
he get those receipts according
to law unless he turned in a poll
list? And finally, how could
Maxwell comply with those var
ious sections of the code AFTER he
became duly qualified when he
complied with them prior tc
that time? Or where was the
rational necessity for doing so,
He fulfilled the spirit of the law
if not the letter, which woulc
have been sufficient for any right
thinking attorney, or for boarc
of commissioners composed Of
business men, or men of norma
intelligence. AS it appears to the
MINING News those unfortunate
men risked a possible reputation
for decency in trying to acquire
a doubtful one for "smartness,
and with the usual unhappy lucl
attending such affairs they mis-
ed both.

Whom To Sell.

II is one thing 10 raise a crop and an.
other to know just when and where to mar.
ket 1t. A pretty good rule to follow lie
this: When such crops as may be kept on
he farm without serious loss are selling
below the cost Of production, hang on to
hem or convert them into some more pro-
fiIable kind Of farm produce. Perishable
crops are best sold for whatever they will
bring when resdy for the market. Fatted
stock Of all kinds 10 kept at dead loss
every day after 1t Is finished, Potatoes are
better sold In the field in October at rs
cents than held for spring market at As
cents. Hay sold In the field at S. per
ton is better cold than when taken out OF
the barn the mex. spriug at 81 so, for you
sell lot Of water when you cell Ia the
field. Every crop grown en- the fam will
touch high water prices about once In ten
years. Interest, ratesge and insurance will
usually eat up the d ference between such
high prices and fair price cbtainable when
the crop 10 secured The bushel OF corn
worth 40 cents will usually bring GO cents
or more when marketed Ia The shape Of
meats or dairy products. The seller OF
raw material, such 81 hsv or cereals, loses
the manufacturers pref. As general
proposition, 1t is beat to sell farm produce
when 1t ia ready and brings ever small
profit. The average farmer cannot afford
TO speculate.

Given a National Character.

It was largely through the efforts of
AIRS. Sarah ]. Hale that the Thanks
giving custom became universal
throughout the United States. With
cOmmendable persistence she year at
ter year importuned the Governors of
States and Territories. urging that
they appoint the last Thursday in No
vember as day Of thanksgiving. so
that the celebration might be given
national character. Mrs Hale wrote
President Lincoln, inclosing d copy of
Washington's 1889 proclama ton, and
suggesting that he, too, proclaim a day
of national Thanksgiving. July Is,
1868, Lincoln issued proclamation
setting Thursday, August 6, as a day
of national praise. Since then, with
one exception, the last Thursday in
November has been the day universal
" observed. 1t is, by the way, only a
legal holiday in those States which
provide for its legality by special sta
tute. The proclamations issued by the
President and the various Governors
are not authoritative and the people
can exercise the great American pre-
rOgative of personal choice in the mat
ter.

The way Uncle Sam Cooks His Turkey.


Here is what the United States Army
Cook Book has to say about turkey:
Tame and wild turkeys are pre-
pared and cooked alike The time for
cooking is from fifteen to twenty min
utes to the pound, depending upon the
age OF the bird. Success lies in cook
ing it long enough and frequent bast-
ing.
Put the turkey in pan Of cold wa
ter, rinse it inside and out in three or
four waters. In the last water dis
solve teaspoonfhl of bicarbonate Of
soda. Fill the body with this water.
shake it we'll then pour it off and
rinse with fresh water Now wipe it
dry inside and out and rub it inside
with pepper and salt.
Next prepare a dressing as follows:
Mix enough grated bread crumbs to
fill the craw and body Of the turkey.
half teaSpoonful of pepper, one tea
spoonful Of salt, one tablespoonful of
summer savory, thyme, or sage, with
sufficient butter, beef drippings or
lard to make the mixture slightly
moist. After this has been thorough
ly mixed stuff the craw and body with
1t. Now tie string tightly about the
neck. sew up the incision, tie down
the wings and legs and then lay it on
its back in the baking pan Wet the
skin, season it with salt and pepper
and dredge it with flour. Distribute.
on the upper side of the turkey small
pieces of butter. Bake with brisk
fire to a. rich brown. Basic at least
every ten minutes. If it browns too
rapidly, lay wet sheet of white pa
per over it until the lower part is
done. When the turkey is Drowned
on the breast, turn it over in the pan
while it is in the oven.
'Now, again pepper, salt and dredge
the back with -four, and bake until
brown, basting as above. When baked
remove the string from neck and body.
put it into hot dish and serve with
gravy prepared as follows:
Cleanse the giZZard, liver and heart
of the turkey thoroughly in cold wa
ter, mince them and put them into a
pot with enough cold water to cover
them. Stew gently until tender and
keep warm. When the turkey is re-
moved from the pan add the giblets
with the water in which they were
stewed to the drippings remaining in
the pan, put the pan on the fire; thick
en- with two tablespoonful of blend
ed Drowned doar, stirring it in grad
ually, let it boil up once, then season
with pepper and salt. pour it into
separate dish and serve.
"Some prefer to omit the dressing
from the body in order that the turkey
may be more thoroughly cooked. The
stuffing thus omitted may be made into
cakes and fried. The turkeys may be
stuffed with sausage meat, fresh oys-
tiers or roasted chestnuts"

Bank Note With a History.

Apropos of the return of Lord Dun
donald, many people may not know
that there is in the Bank of England
$1,000 note, which recalls sad
memories to the first Earl of Dun
donald. After being disgraced in En-
gland on false accusation, hesjoined
the .Rrazi1ian navy, after service with
Chile, and was it's first admiral.
In 1914 he was sentenced to years
Imprisonment and to pay fine of
E1,000. The money was collected by
his constituents at Westminster in
penny subscriptions. Very much
against his will, he paid the fine with
a $1,000 bank note, on the back of
which he wrote: Il submit to rob-
berry to protect myself from murder,
in the hope that | shall live to bring
the delinquents to justice.-London
