THE LEGISLATURE MEETS
Gov. Elrod lnau sarated and Bots
Houses Organize tuesday

The legislature is doing business at
the same old stand at the geographic
cal center" and there will soon be
something doing. Coy. Herreid turn.
ed in a lengthy message and the new
governor, Elrod, took up the reins
with a shorter one, but full of meat.
Some of the recommendation of Gov.
Herreid are referred to in another
other part of this paper.
The most important measure to
come before the legislature will be the
submission to the voters of the state
at the next general election of the
primary law. The Republicans in
their platform sat down hard on this
proposition, but though they carried
the state by $4,000 ana the legislature
is politically the same way, they will
scarcely dare ignore the constitution
and refuse to ignore the petition of
5000 voters to employ the referendum
and submit the primary election
i scheme. But it hurts-and hurts aw-
fully-as many fear that the measure
will carry-dnd that means the end Of
| the machine.
Another important measure Will be
that of providing for new state
capitol building. Both the outgoing
and the incoming governors recon-
mend that the preliminary steps be
taken to provide a more suitable state
house.
The state militia is another bone of
contention.
Then then there is the question of
revenue laws. 1t is generally agreed
that something has to be done to get
away from the annual deficiency.
The proposition for Il twine plant
will probably die an early death, us it
will cost the state S25O,OO0 to install a
with.
Some of the legislative districts will
probably be rearranged. Chas. Mix
for one, where the vote is heavy
enough to give that county IL senator
of its own, instead OF dividing with
Douglas.
Tine usual grist OF bills that are
purely local will pile up us usual-and
as usual never be heard ofagain.
The business of the session could be
wound up in thirty days-but coal ON
the praireS is high in price. d cold
winter is coming, and So per diem and
and steam heat at state expense cheap
and the solons will of course chew the
rag to the limlt-sixty days.

What the Kids Did for AIsernon

mother who used to shudder when
slaEg was used in her presence. So she
vowed she'd give her son Il name that
the boys couldn't twist into any low,
vulgar nickname. She called him
Al!crnon, but the kid had a pretty big
nose, and the first day he was sent to
school with his long lace collar and
his short yel@et pants the boys christ

Gov. Herreid's Message

The most interesting state paper IN
the history of the commonwealth is
that of Gov. Herreid's message. 1t is
not only interesting from the facts
and figures with reference to the af-
fairs Of the state, but much more
readable than the general run OF gov
ernor's messages-due perhaps to the
governors newspaper style of writing
Governor Herreid deals at great
length with the state revenue pro-
blem and illustrates his points with
figures from the assessors tables Show
ing the wide latitude permitted as
SCISSORS in the respective counties. The
retiring governor believes that eau
tion should be used in dabbling with
the tax laws and that uniformity on
the part OF the county assessors in
their work would do away with most
OF the difficulties in raising enough
revenue TO run the state. To this end
| he advises the creation Of the office of
| fax commissioner TO supervise the
work OF the assessors and d meeting Of
all the county assessors ut state en-
penSe before beginning work. Gov.
Herreid shows the embarrassment the
state board Of equalization laburs un-
| der when confronted with a deficiency
OF revenue. in that raise of the levy
in any county necessarily works an
injustice upon those who have honest.
ly listed their holdings, while it has
no effect upon those who haye with
held property altogether.
The governor again calls attention
to the wisdom of providing funds for
farmers institutes lin which he is
seconded by Gov. Elrod in his message)
Coy. Herreid also urges the import
ance OF a state game warden, that our
fish and game may not be eNterminat-
ed.
The limits of this article will not
permit OF a review of the message in
full. 1t better be read in it's entirety

PORT ARTHUR CAPlTULATES
The Long struggle Over and the Japs
In Possession

Port Arthur, whose hills for months
ran red with the blood of the bravest
Of two warlikc nations, has at last
succumDed to the fierce tenacity Of
the Japcnse attacks. Genera! Stoesscl,
who has been most stubborn in carry
ing out the will of his sovereign and
who proclaimed Il few months ago
that Port Arthur would be his tomb,
realized at last to hold out longer
would be Il crime against humanity
and surrendered his garrison as the
year was drawing to Il close. After
arranging terms of capitulation the
Japs took possession of the fort Jam
uary l.
The seigc OF Port Arthur has been
one of the most remarkable ones in
history. lasting eleven months lacking
ten days. The exact lost of life will
never be known on the Russian side,
and until the Japs make their losses
known after the war their losses are
but guess work.
Originally the garrison at Port
Arthur numbered $4,000 men. Eleyer
thousand were killed, 10000 were
wounded or sick, and 5000 remained
in the forts, however 1000 were un
able to fight.
The loss on the ,Japenese size is esti
mated at fully $4,000 during the seige
and the Russians say that it has cos
Japan 500, 100000 in money.
Japan now has the most ilnportan
strategic position IN the far east,
point wrested from it by Russia afte
the close of the .Japaa-Ch!na war ant
which robbed Japan of it's principt
fruit OF victory. That it is IL bIoy
which Russia cannot overcome is tn
opinion of naval and army experts til
world over and 1t is doubtful abou
the war lasting beyond the comm,
summer.

Harry L. Bras and Miss Pearl

TO MAKE cocoANur CREAM.
Simple Process That Vie ds Excellent
Substitute for Butter.


The cocoanut is more extensively
used, perhaps, as a food than any
other nut. In certain of the Pacific
islands it constitutes almost an ex-
elusive dietary. Cows, dogs, donkeys,
chickens, in fact almost every living
thing, even certain species of crabs,
live on the cocoanut, ingeniously
working a way to the meat through
the n open eye of the nut. In the
country where it grows the cocoanut
is very largely eaten IL the half-ripe
state. At this stage the meat is jelly
like in. consistency and may be eaten
with a spoon. 1t is very toothsome
and nourishing. The meat of the ripe
nut is very hard to digest and can
scarcely be masticated sufficiently to
prepare 1t for entering the stomach.
The best use which can be made of
the meat of the ripe cocoanut is in
the preparation of the cocoanut cream,
which IS an excellent substitute for
butter. This may be easily accom-
plished by the following method: Re-
move the meat and put it through an
ordinary vegetable shredder. Pour
over the pulp twice the quantity of
boiling water and let stand for half
an hour, then strain through a fine
cloth, and let the milk so obtained
stand for three or four hours in a
II place. A rich cream rises.
which may be used in the same way
as dairy cream, or like ordinary
cream, may be worked into butter.

JEWELS or VAST ANTIQUITY.
discoveries Made at the Capital OF
Ancient Persia,

HEGICVl TCISid'
Remarkable discoveries have been
made in the ruins Of the temples at
Susa, the ancient capital of Persia,
where marvels of jewelry have been
brought to light, the earliest examples
yer known of hat country.
The jewels of gold and silver are
the first Of those countries and those
ages which have come down to the
great interest. Unfortunately, it is not
possible to assign a precise date to
each of them. AS the cylinders and
seals which form a part of the finds
belong to all periods from the fortieth
or fftieth century B. G. down to
date Of foundation, so it is with the
jewels. There are some of every
age. The rings of fligree work and
the scepter with the lions head seem
TO be more recent than the s]tatuettes
Of gold and silver, which have a
frankly archaic appearance, but one
can not be sure of this appreciation.
Have the ~discoverers not been surpris-
ed by finding rings which, if their
origin had not been certain, would be
attributed by the most acute ~connois-
seurs to the Greek or Etruscan
epochs?
Before the discoveries at Dashur
nothing was known of the Egyptian
iewelry. The opening of the tombs
Of the princes of the twelfth dynasty
was a revelation. 1t is the same now
as regards Elan.

Barrenness proceeds from some derange-
ment of the distinctly feminine organs.
Many of the common ailments known as
