PLANNING PlCNlCS.
HOW to Mase Them Genuine
Pleasure.

HOW to MaEe Them Genuine
Pleasure.
There are two essentials to q sue
cessful picnic, one being a careful
choice OF guests. One fussy, fault find
ing, timid or irysterlcal person can mar
the pleasure of twenty. So the person
planning a picnic must take the lido
syncrasies of all whose names are
down on the list into careful consid-
Grafton and leave ont jealous wives,
girls who scream and faint at cater
pillar or crooked stick and. above all,
leave ort the practical joker and the
one who rocks the boat"
The next essential is a good and sat
isfying lunch The majority of those
who provide for picnics run to made
salads, jelly cake and Juicy pies, wfth
q few sandwiches. Man does not live
by salads alone nor yet sweet pickles.
Taking into account the number Of
people TO be present and the fact that
outdoor air always sharpens the APP
petite, the luncheon should be planned.
If wiz be found that solid meats, with
bread and water cress for an addition
instead of elaborate salads, are best
appreciated.
For twenty grown people and Ave
children the following is enough, with
little TO leave; A cold roast leg Of
lamb, two good sized boiled chickens,
beef tongue and half a boiled ham.
A lot Of big sandwiches, not minty lit

of the ham before starting. each wrap
ped IN waxed paper. All the rest OF
the meats can be cut at home into
slices and packed into large sized gro
Gerry. plates Of wood, wrapped In the
waxed paper. Bread cut and butter
ed and cubes Of mild cheese are wrap
ped also III the waxed paper. These
little wooden dishes, such as butter,
etc, Is packed In, can be purchased
by the hundred for a few cents and
when they are used can be thrown
away They come In several shapes.
For relishes bottles of olives and
small pickles may be taken. Then IL
some one really must show her skill
at making cakes let them be good,
wholesome cookies for the children
and q nut or pound cake for big folks.
Jelly or layer cake is a sorry look
ing object after reaching the picnic
ground
Fresh fruit in season is excellent
Butter should be put into q wide
mouthed jar. Knives and forks are
re- !1y unnecessary at u picnic where
everything has been carved beforehand
save for forks to lift the pieces with
from the big dish. No china is needed.
But a dozen or so of tin cups for those
who. must have their tea or coffee and
spoons may be taken. A teapot and
cOtfeepot then become necessary. but
shocld be Of the most primitive descrip-
ton No table linen is required, for
the dain.G. Japanese paper napkins and
cloths are at once pretty and neat.
They cost but Il tri1e. The waxed pa
per for wrapping the different articles
can be obtained at any grocery. and
the cost Is very small
The catering should be intended for
really hungry people out for a wood
land day and the palmer and more
substantial II Is the more it is enjoyed
The clean wooden dishes, the pretty
napkins and the v1ands, each wrapped
neatly tn the waxed paper, give the
touch Of daintlness. OF such things
ara really gpeat picnics made

PROFITS IN COTTON LEAK.

The profits of the alleged eonspirators IN
the operations based on the recent ieah III
the government cotton crop reports are
placed at approximately $200.ooO. according
to an indictment presented in court at New
York Yesterday on the arraignment pe1ore
United States Commissioner Ridgway OF
Frederick A. Peckham and Moses Haas.
According to charges made In this indlct-
ment, Edwin s. Holmes, jr., associate sta
tistfcian of the Department of Agriculture,
received $e5,017.
The indictment, which was found by a
grand jury in this city October g. is against

ANNUAL MEETING HELD
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC ASsoCIA.
TION ELECTION.

AT the annual meeting of the Virginia
Democratic Association of Washington, held
Friday, resolution expressing the loss the
association had sustained in the death of
one of its former presidents, H. L. Biscoe
was adopted.
Mr. Mosby Williams offered a resolution
indorsing the candidates nominated in the
recent Virginia primaries, which was car
ried by a unanimous vote.
In the remarks of some of those present,
humorous references were made to the at
tempt of the republicans in Virginia to
raise the issue of corruption in the face of
the appalling record OF that party in the
game of graft" Prophecies were indulged
in that the democrats of Virginia with their
able leader, Claude A. Swanson, would roll
up an increased majority for their candi-
dates.
Thesannual election OF officers resulted as
follows President, r. e. L. Yellott first
vice president, T. Wingfield Bullock Sec
ond vice president, Maj. George A. Armes !;
secretary, M. Preston Evans; treasurer DIR.
r. A. Bates; corresponding secretary, e.
Hilton Jackson, financial secretary, w.
Mosby Williams; executive committee. r.
N. Harper, w. d. Culeen, j. A. Coouer s
H. Hines and A. N. Breckenridge; member
ship committee. w. w. Taylor, W. B.
Clarkson. Clarence Thomas, Thadius Fair
fax and b. d. Drane.
The association urged the voters to go
home and vote whether they thought their
vote was needed or not, as a large vote
discourages the enemy.
A committee was appointed to make ar
rangements for the annual banquet of the
association to be held in November. A
committee was also appointed TO secure re-
dueed rates and to see to getting out the
District vote at the gubernatorial election,
notice of rates and other information
relating thereto to be announced later.
Mr.. Yellott, the new president has been
an active member of the association for
more than ten years. He was twice elected
secretary and three times vice president
He is known to be strong in the democratic
faith, and believes that II IS to his party
that the people must look for relief from
the present domination OF affairs by the
trusts. He believes also that the people
