FOR HOUSE WORKER
GENERAL IDEAS THAT WILL BE
OF INTEREST.
Recipe for Vegetable Soup-To Pre-.
vent Stained Fingers-Norwegian
Fish Balls DeIicacy to Be
Appreciated.

Soup Without Meat.-Take one can
tomatoes, four potatoes, one onion, one
carrot, fresh celery, parsley. three
cloves, allspice, cayenne pepper, ono
piece butter size of an egg; add water,
season to taste. To the above rice,
barley, or any other vegetable desired
may be added. If celery is not obtain
able use celery salt.
Prevent Stained Fingers.-An excel
lent way to avoid staining the fingers
when pairing vegetables and fruit, par
ticularly apples, is to wind the thumb
and first finger of the right hand with
strips of clean cloth. They can be
pulled off easily when pairing is COM
pleted and the stains will be on the
cloth instead of the fingers, which in
variably become deeply stained from
fruit and knife.
Cranberry Raisin Pie.-On cup
raisins cooked till tender, one large
cup cranberrie3. Have pie crust ready
and put in raw cranberries, sprinkle
well with sugar; add cooked raisins
and liquid they were cooked in. Put
on top crust. Good served warm with
milk or cream.
Fry Doughnuts.-Adding a table
spoonful of vinegar to the lard in
which doughnuts or crullers are fried
will prevent them from absorbing too
much of the fat.
Norwegian Fish Balls.-Buy a can
OF imported Norwegian fishballs, take
a good sized lump of butter and a
heaping tablespoonful of flour; cook
awhile, but do not burn. Then add
one pint of milk, recently boiled, and
let cook until thick and smooth. In
this put fish balls, but not the liquid
unless the sauce is too thick. When
the balls are we'll heated add one tea
spoonful of sugar, pinch of salt, and
a wee bit of nutmeg, and small can
of Holsters.
Fish Chowder.-Three pounds fresh
Boston haddock or fresh Goldfish, cut
in four or five pieces; four large po-
tatoes, one-half pound salt pork. cut
into dice and fried brown; one large
onion chopped fine. Into a medium
sized kettle put a layer of the pota-
toes, then fish, Drowned bacon, and
onion; season with pepper and salt
This is sufficient for two layers of
each. Add enough cold water to cover
and cook slowly until potatoes are
tender. Then add a quart of milk and
one-half pound chowder crackers; let
come to boil and it is ready to serve.

AN EXPOSITION NEEDED.

AT this time there is a great
deal of talk about fairs in various
parts of the Panhandle. In
some towns the events have al
ready been held, while others
will come off this month. These
local fair are very good things
and there should be one in every
county which would show the
resources of that community to
the best advantage. In addition
to these local fairs there should
be big Panhandle agricultural
eXposition-one that would prop
erly show the growth of the
country from year to year as
we'll as it's resources.
Amarillo held a fair last week
that was looked forward to as
something of this kind, but the
truth of the matter is that ANA
rillo fell down. There were
many splendid exhibits, but they
are said to have been no better
than the ones made at the Here
ford fair early in September,
and doubtless other fairs have
done and will do as well. This
Panhandle exposition must be a
bigger thing than any county
fair can possibly be. 1t must
be advertised outside the Pan
handle and outside the State. 1t
must be something big enough
and attractive enough from purely
scientific and educational stand
points to draw attendance from
all parts of the West and South
west. 1t should, even, be reck-
oned among the nations annual
events. 1t should not be mixed
with any street carnival, nor
with any other sort of an amuse
ment arrangement. This eX-
position we need is one that will
build backbone and fat for the
Panhandle, not one that will
tickle the fancies of a few for a
week.
The Panhandle needs this eX-
position NOW. 1t would be
worth more in developing the
country than thousand catch
as-catch-can shows that we have
been calling fair. The time is
ripe for serious planning for the
future of this country along
other lines than the selling of
land and the building of towns
and the making of quick and alb
undant money. 1t is time to be-
gin arranging for the next de
cade and the next generation
time to begin things that are to
be permanent. The greatness
of the Panhandle is to be en-
during, and increasing so; and
one of the necessities of the
years that are here and are yet
to come is a magniti cent Pan
handle exposition. Brand.
Everyone knows that the State
Fair at Dallas has done more for
advertising the State of Texas
than any one other thing ever
undertaken for that purpose.
Just so would a good live exposi
ton for the Panhandle, with rep
resentation on the management
from each of the counties, make
this great section of country bet
ter known as to its crop produc-
ing qualities as well as the kind
of good stock that thrives best.
! Lets make it permanent.

to S25 per acre in Iowa which
until recently was selling at
from SIS to $50 per acre less,
how is it that the lands of the
Plains which will make as much,
if not more, year in and year out,
for the farmer with less labor
and exposure, still remains as
cheap as they are? The advance
alone of $50 per acre in the Iowa
land during the last II months
will buy the best raw land on the
Plains. The distance from a
good town will, of course, put
the price some higher or lower.
In conversation with a gentle
man from Burlington, it was
learned that the Iowa people did
not, as a rule, believe that the
Plain of the Texas was suitable
for agricultural purposes. They
argue, he said, that if this soil
will produce what is claimed for
it, that the people from every
state would literally fall over
themselves to get to it, and that
if the country was such great
place, why is it that until recent
ly no one knew about it? This
argument would be good, if the
people of the United States
knew the country as well as they
do Iowa and Illinois. But they
do not. Until a few years ago,
even the old Texans and those
who had made their home of the
Plains, did they begin to study
the agricultural possibilities Of
their own state, in fact, the great
cattle kings had it published
from the house-tops that the
Plains and West Texas were not
suitable for farming purposes
and never would be. They want
ed the vast rolling prairies to re-
main their possession and to be-
come their permanent domain.
But the man with the hoe sent
spies into the country. They
found it inhabited by giants in
the saddle but the country
flowing with milk and honey
The spies reported to the breth-
rem that it was a country in
which the wind pumped the
water and the COWS cut the
wood" The people wandered
for forty years in the wilderness
of ignorance before they went up
to possess the land. Those Iowa
folks who have never been to
Texas on one of the semi-monthly
excursions, will think surely
that the people are falling over
themselves to get some of the
land, when they should see
twelve train loads Of prospectors
go out Of Kansas City, all bound
for the Panhandle of Texas.
Nothing in the history of the

Element of the great Southwest,
where men go to the frontier and
prospect for a new home in pal
ace cars and automobiles. The
sailing of the Mayiower was in
deed an epoch date, but the same
thing has happened a hundred
times over and over in founding
the Plymouth of the new South
west Instead of a musket and
a hoe, the husbandman goes out
with a steam pillow and grain
drill. Instead of making a
clearing for a ten acre farm, he
turns the sod of a thousand

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-02-28

There is an amendment to the Aldrich bill that will receive the SUD- port of numerous democratic sena- tors who are as favorable to it as some of the republicans are opposed. It will provide that only the bonds of such railroads as have had their physical value ascertained aud certi- fled by the interstate commerce com mission shall be accepted by the sec retary of the treasury as the basis for emergency currency. This is a good business proposition, for if the treasury department is to accept first mortgage bonds as security for na- tional bank circulation it ought cer- tainly first to ascertain the value of the property on which the mortgages are based. Altogether, the Aldrich bill may not be such a bad measure after all, after the senate and the house have both gotten through with it, although 1t is equally possible that its author will then have difficulty in recognizing it.

TO TALK WELL.
Necessary Conditions of Real Conver.
 sation.

sation.
 Good taste externally requires that conversation please and elevate. Sub- jects of narrow personal or shop interest are in bad form. The terse conclusiveness of John Selden, the monologue d!scourses of Macaulay and the imperious rulings of Dr John- sons pontificate were not quite suit able for general society in their sev- eral periods. Nowadays they would | not be amiably accepted in meetings of the literary. But some real contri- button to the intellectual--not neces- sarily literary-feast is coming to be the duty of each guest, imperatively the duty of the host or hostess. Among the classes which call them selves cultivated an evening of chat ter composed of "acidulous personal ities" is as much failure as one of talk concerning markets or politics. Either proclaims social incompetence. If it were sure to escape conscious strain and pedantry, MT Golfers pre- scription would be rather beneficial.
 A man or woman with subject or two we'll in hand would be refresh ing addition to the average dinner company. If each guest were prepar- ed, loaded" as it were, everybody could not have a turn. But he might say a few enlightening words. At the worst he would have done his part by being ready, and would have been entertained by the contributor to whom the fortune of an opening came. The sum total of the evening would be a qualification.
 Table talk cannot be regulated by formal dicta. It drifts about in var ious ways. As in England it is here usually led by women, and they never shine most brightly in stifiy pro- grammed talk. It is best when it is. or seems natural. All that Is requir- ed is ability to select a topic intelli- gently or fall intelligently into discussion. It is better to commit a story 10 memory than to be inane. It is no worse to force a subject on company than to be stupid or silent. To regard table talk as an accom- plishment to be cultivated is emin- ently a practical view of the case. Surely it is as we'll worth special preparation as gowning. music or the use of knife, fork and spoon.-Phila- delphia Ledger.

The holding up of the price of steel products by the trust checks con- sumption and real recovery of busi- ness, while lower prices would stimu- late orders and start idle plants. But the steel trust, highly protected as it is by the tariff, thinks it can worry along until business revives and re- fuses to reduce the price of it's pro- ducts. Thus every piece of farm ma chinery, every tool for workingman or farmer, and everything else into which steel enters, has to pay tribute to the trusts. While pig iron has de- clined 80 per cent from the recent high level, yet steel, which is the chief form of iron now used, is still maintained at the top notch. Such is one of the advantages of the re- publican policy of tariff protection. That whereas the trust is protected every one else must suffer.
