Long lIalug Up For TAFT.

Bro Junkin of the Sterling
Bulletin favors the candidacy Of
". R. Stubs for the United
States Senate over Senator Long.
He SAYS Stubs would line up
with such men as La Toilette.

rather have a Senator who will
line up with such men as Roose-

Senator Long has been doing
and will continue to do if reflect,

Long, nor Longs close corpora

The big corporations and monied
interests, as represented 5y Wall

IN TIME or PRESERVES.
Best Method Of Putting Up Grapes
and Ounces.

AS this is the season when grapes
and ounces are plentiful, the fol-
lowing two recipes sound attractive.
Select large lunches OF perfect
grapes, and with a silver fork prick
each one carefully; put them in pre-
serve jars that have been thoroughly
cleansed, and stand them in shallow
pan of hot water so that they will not
cool. Make brandy strip by cook
ing together three quarts OF water
with seven pounds Of sugar until. very
thick, remove from the fire and add
an equal quantity Of best brandy; re-
heat and pour Immediately over the
grares; seal and do not use for a
month or two. OF course, small
er quantity can be made as an expert
ment.
Peel half a peck Of ounces and cut
in thick slices, dropping them in cold
water to prevent discoloration; then
drain well and add two pounds of
figs, sliced in quarters, and three
oranges cut into cubes; place in a pre-
serving kettle and cover with cold
water cooking until the ounces are
soft. Take out the fruit and from the
water in which they were cooked
make a strip, allowing three pounds
Of graduated sugar and the white Of
one egg to every pint and half OF
liquid. AS soon as the scum rises
add tablespoonful Of cold water;
skim until you have a very clear
heavy strip, then return the fruit and
cook about five or ten minutes; pour
into jars and seal with alright covers

When sewing on the machine one
often wastes a lot Of time having to
look for the pin cushion, which usual

When President Roosevelt
out of hating and
reluctant senate a railroad meas
ure. Senator Long lined up for
the compromise. So did Senators
Aldrlch. Depew, Penrose. and
others who we're known as open
supporters of the interests"
But previous to Senator Longs
return to Washington. before that
eventful session. wild horse
couldn't drag from him a positive
expression as to whether or not
he would support the presidents
policies. To do Senator Long
justice, we believe. he desired to
be on the right side, and therefore
felt he couldn't commit himself
until the agitation and discussion
had reached the proper point so
that he could tell which was the
right side. The people of Kansas
are not Directing to Senator,
Longs final line up on the rate
bill but they could become a little
more enthusiastic for senator
who doesn't wait to see which
waythe cat jumps" If this is

Some of his land that cost $l1
an acre could be readily sold now at
