Rice and ham are considered "real
good and filling" by mother who has a
house full of healthy, happy hostages
to fortune. Wash a cup of rice, cover
with boiling water. salt lightly and cook
20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
If any water remains drain it off, but
save for your soup stock. Add to the
hot rice a cupful of minced scraps Of
boiled ham. tablespoonful butter and
salt and pepper to season. Stir lightly
with fork until the ingredients are
well mixed and hot, then serve with
tomato sauce or half bottle of catsup
poured over it.

Helping the Old World.

Estimates Of the expenditures Of
American tourists in Europe have
been many and various, and there is
no manner Of doubt that In more
than one OF the countries Of the Old
World the income from this source is
an important item Of the national
revenue. Italy in a large measure
lives ON the income brought to it by
the worlds interest in the antiquities
Of which 1t is the custodian. In the
latter case the Travellers Association
has made some computations which
afford basis for an Proclamation OF
the exact extent to which the country
Is benefited by the visitors from
abroad. This shows that last year
the gross income Of the Norwegian
transportation companies, the hotels
and tradesmen from these sources
amounted to more than l2,OOO,OOO
kronten, or about three and quarter
millions Of dollars. This is an ex-
tremely moderate estimate, account
ing for an expenditure Of only about
500 per visitor and probably under
rather than overstates the actual
facts. The capital invested in tourist
hotels in Norway cannot be less than
100000 900 and these furnish en-
ployment for at least 5000 persons
Abilene has furnished its share Of
this amount and proposes to continue
to. Five people leave here soon for a
trip to the Old World.

why Not Report?

A Topeka dispatch says that State
Auditor Nation has received the en-
nifty Of Warden Haskell because has
insisted that Haskell be required to
bring to Topeka and deposit In the
state treasury about $4,000 Of state
money which is now, and for the past
two years. has been kept in two Of the
Leavenworth banks. Haskell Is also
required by State Auditor Nation to
make an accounting to the auditors
Office Of all receipts Of the state bind
ing twine plant, and all receipts from
interest on the state funds while on
deposit In I.eayenworth. The interest
receipts must be turned over to the
states general revenue fund. These
requirements Of the state auditor
were enforced by formal notice that
unless they should be complied with
the auditor would refuse to audit the
psnltentiary pay rolls. Warden Has
kell and Director John Seaton both
objected strenuously to complying
with Mr.. Nations instructions, and
they lined up Governor HOch in their
behalf.
Kansas will be heartily in favor Of
Nations order. There is no reason
whatever why any state officer should
keep state money outside the state
treasury where 1t belongs. And as
for that Irvine plant altogether too
much mystery attaches to that ex-
pensivs piece Of machinery. What is
wrong with letting the tax payers
know what It costs to run ita Maybe
the benefits are worth the expense
and maybe not-but the people Of
the state have a right to q complete
annual report. It Is to be hoped that
Auditor Nation will hAve.the nerve to
enforce his order and not back down.
