Potatoes in Many Jackets.
Ruralist.

| hurhnst.
The plebian potato grows just as
easily and abundantly to-day as wher
meat was produced for one-half what
it can be grown for now. There are
so many ways of serving potatoes
that they can appear on the table q
couple of times each day and YET
present no appearance of sameness.
Good sized potatoes may be peeled,
boiled until done but not too tender,
then portion of them removed with
a teaspoon forming cups that are to
hold any sort of vegetable, like
creamed peas or beans, or hashed and
creamed meats and fish. After fill
ing the potato cups, brush them with
beaten egg and brown in the oven.
Small potatoes that collect in the bin
may be peeled, cooked tender, drain
ed, then dipped in beaten egg rolled
in bread crumbs and fried in deep
fat. Or drain and simply roll in fat
and fry. If they are put in the fat
while the potatoes are hot, they will
not absorb so much grease.
Potato Rissales-Mash and season
the potatoes well, then form into
small balls, dip in egg, dredge with
bread crumbs and fry in very hot fat.
Potato Cones-Mash and season,
beat very light and shape into small
cones. Brush over with yolk Of egg,
and with point of teaspoon make the
cone petals, then brown in hot oven.
Potato Canapes-Take cold mashed
potatoes and shape into thin, round
cakes, slightly depressed in the GEN.
ter; brush over with beaten egg,
spread the top with minced chicken,
veal or beef, dot with butter and
brown in the oven. Served on indi-
vidual plates, garnished with parsley
this makes good company luncheon
full, as the souffle will rise. Serve
very hot.
Very nice borders made of pota-
toes, to be filled with chicken or 9TH
er meat are of two cups of hot mash
ed potatoes, the yolks of two eggs,
one cup milk, butter size of an egg,
salt and pepper to season, all beaten
thoroughly. Then fold in the whites
of the eggs, whipped stiff, put in a
border mold if you have one, or make
a round mound, with a deep hollow
in the center and bake until light
brown. Remove carefully to hot
platter, fill center with stewed chick
en- or veal.
Rander Potatoes-Pare and slice
very thin. Butter a ramequin or
pudding dish, put in layer of pota-
toes, sprinkle with very little salt
and pepper, dot with butter. Repeat
until the dish is full, then pour over
enough milk to cover and bake an
hour in steady oven.

Vital Washington News.
b Clyde H. rsveaner

Washington, June q. Why is it
that the price of articles on which the
tariff was not advanced, has increased
since the passage of the Payne
Aldrich bill?
lput this question to Senator Nose
E. Clapp of Minnesota, one of the
genuine progressive Republicans of
Congress.
i can answer that question" re-
piled Senator Clapp, 'in less than
two minutes and no one will success
fully contradict my statement.
In the Payne-Aldrich revision of
the tariff the rates on scores upon
scores of articles were advanced.
Those advances have increased the
price of everything; yes, have in
creased the price of articles on which
the tariff was not changed.
"You can't raise the cost of living
to a man who is producing something
to sell, without forcing that man to
raise correspondingly the price of
what he has to sell.
Suppose that both of us are in
business, and that each has to use
what the other produces. Suppose
the tariff on the article handle is in
creased, while the tariff on the article
you handle is not increased. By
virtue of my increased protection, |
force you to pay increased prices.
What are YOU going to do about it?
What MUST you do about it? An
swer: You must increase the price Of
what YOU have to sell! And that's
Just the way il works out all along
the line, and in the end all of the in
creases fall upon the broad shoulders
OF the consumer.
But you will hear ii said constant
ly with reference to something on
which the price has been advanced,
o, that isn't in the tariff at all. That
increase has nothing to do with the
tariff. But the fact is tariff revision
upward on few articles reaches all
along the line.
THE new tariff has cost, and is
costing the American people millions
on millions of dollars, in increased
cost OF living. And if the Payne
Aldrich bill had been beaten, those
millions would have been saved to
the people"
Battleships Are Expensive.
Congress has authorized two more
battleships. II is estimated that each |
ship will cost 100000 to build,
and 100000 a year during its
O-year lifetime to maintain. The
aggregate ultimate cost of each ship,
as matter of fact, is, therefore, $685.
OOO,O
The cost of each ship would buy
5000 farms at $4,000 each; it would
1000 churches throughout
The country at $40, 900 each; in would
furnish the means of education
through four-year course to 1900
men or women at $500 per annum; it
would build and equip so manual
training schools with necessary tools
md appliances, giving a trade to 75,-
700 young people each year, it would
build macadam road between Chi
,ago and New York, or build and
equip 40 Y. NJ. C. A. buildings of
proportions, each build
ng accommodating the young men in
city of 100000 people!
The Republican Platform!
The eve of the Congressional cam
oaign is at hand. II looks as if the
Republican party proper will boldly
attempt to bluff the American people
IN these propositions:
That Aldrichism is a good thing
or the country.
That Uncle Joe" belongs to the
Abraham Lincoln type of statesmen.
That the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
vas the best tariff bill ever passed"

Operated on for Appendicitis

Ruby Gibson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. A. Gibson of Shawnee township
has been seriously i'll for some time
OF appendicitis and an abcess. His
condition became SO critical last week
that his physician, DR.. Carl Bates,
operated on him Sunday morning for
the removal Of the appendix. He was
assisted by Drs. L. S. and Floyd
Bates and T. b. Todd. The young
man stood the operation well, con-
sidering his critical condition, and
now has fair chance for recovery

Removing the Sting.

The House passed a bill requiring
the publication of campaign expenses
before and after election. The Senate
took the sting out of the measure by
amending it so that it provides for the
publication of expenses 30 days after
election.

Sary for party solidarity"
What Democracy Offers.
Here is the platform the average
Democratic candidate for Congress
will present to the people:
Lower duties on the necessaries of
life.
An income tax that large part of
the burden of the cost of government
may fall upon those best able to bear
il.
Reciprocity with Canada and our
best customers.
Repeal of Section 2 of the Aldrich
act that forces tariff wars and retalia-
ton.
Election of Senators by direct vote.
Old-time Democratic economy in
public expenditures.
Restoration of popular government
in the House of Representatives.
Roosevelt and Taft.
Gibson Gardner, a newspaper cor
respondent who joined the Roosevelt
party in Egypt and accompanied it to
Washington, and who had almost
daily interviews with the ex-presi-
dent stakes his reputation on the pre-
dictlon that the Taft administration
has been so thoroughly bad that Mr..
Roosevelt will not endorse it in any
shape, form or manner. He declares
Taft deserted the Roosevelt policies
cold-bloodedly. In connection with
Gardner's statement, it is significant
that Roosevelt should have been this
long on American soil following his
long absence in Africa without hav-
ing seen the man be made president
or having mentioned him in any way.
Roosevelt and Taft have not met since
March 4, 1909.
Aldrich Stands Pat"
Hear We! Hear we! Senator Boss
Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich stands pat
on his original statement that the
government is wasting $500, 000,0 600
a year. Senator Beveridge, fretting
under Aldrich's indictment of the Re-
publican party on the charge of gross
and wanton extravaganza, sought to
discredit Aldrich's statement. But
Aldrich declared he knew what he
was talking about, and that if he
could run the government as bust
ness man, without let or hindrance
from anyone" he could save the peo-
pie $500, 100000 year. Query: Is
Aldrich contemplating joining the
ranks of the insurgents? 1t would be
interesting to know what the "stand
pat' editors of the country think of
Aldrich's statement on Republican

Quail Destroy Harmful Bugs.

Yual OcstTOy udTmiu buBS.
The Bobwhite is a great des-
troyer OF insects during the warm
months. He is very fond OF chinch
bug which annually levies a tre-
mendous tribute from the farm
ers OF America. Two tablespoon
fnl OF chinch bugs have been
found in the crop OF the crop of
one bird. Grasshoppers are cred
tied with doing an annual dam
age OF 800, 100000 to the agri-
cultural Interests OF the country,
and Bobwhite is one of t b G i r
deadliest enemies.
The boil weevil came over the
border into the United States in
1894, and was soon costing us
500, 100000 a year. The Govern
ment collectors have found ma
ny partridges whose crops were
filed with those weevils, which
are secured late in the season
when the weevil leaves thpcotton
and take refuge in the leaves and
rubbish on the ground.
The birds, says a North Caro-.
olina bulletin, also eat the stri-
ped cucumber beetle that does
such havoc to cucumber-, squash
es and other vegetables. In
short, the crops and gizzards ex-
amined III great numbers in the
Government laboratories have
yielded 81 kinds OF beetles, 81
varieties OF bugs, 8 grasshop-
pers and locnsts and 13 differ
ent sorts of catterpillars, besides
ants, flies, wasps and spiders.
But the good work OF the Bob
white does not end With the sum-
mer. Elghty-five different weed
seeds have been found to make
up in part his bill OF fare. Crops
have been found packed with rag
weed seeds and as many as l 900
seeds OF the crab grass have been
taken from one bird. A specimen
shot on Christmas day OF 1901
at Kinsale, Va, contained about
10000 pig weed seeds. In Bullp-
tin 21 of the Bureau OF Biology
cal survey we read: "Itis reason
able to suppose that in the State
OF Virginia and North Carolina
from Sert. / to April 30, there
are four Bobwhites to each
square mile of land, or 354, ,S2O
in the two states. The crop of
each bird holds half an ounce OF
seed and is filled twice a day.
Since at earh of the two daily
meals weed seeds constitute at
least half the contents of the con-
tents OF the crop, or one fourth
of an ounce, a hall ounce
daily is consumed by each bird.
On this basis, the total con-
sumption of weed seeds by Bob
whites from September l to Ap-
ril 81 in Virginia and North Car
olina amounts to 1,341 TONS"
The above facts AMI figures
may we'll be used in argument to
the claim by many
people that the time has arrived
when our beloved partridge is OF
far more value to us while living

Wilkesboro Chronicle.
The Republican county and
congressional convention met in
the court house here yesterday.
The county convention was prac-
tically a cut and dried affair, en-
dorsing C. H. CowIes for re-nom-
nation for Congress.
At 2p. m, the Con. convention
convened and was called to or
der by Chairman Henry Rey-
nolds. Mr., l.. {. Wagner, of
Statesville, was called to act az
temporary secretary, and Hon.
H. Nj. NJ. Nellborn. of Ashe, as
temporary chairman. Mr.. Well
born preceded business with one
OF his typical speeches and de-
clared the convention ready for
business. On motion the tempo
rary organization was made per
manent. A roll call OF the coun-
ties for nominations was proce-
dpd with. Allegheny yielded to
Caldwell, whereas the Hon. Mo-
ses N. Harshaw, of the latter
county rose and, after relieving
himself Of hot air, nominated
Charles H.. Cowles, the present
incumbent, for Congress: t b e
nomination was made by arcla-
nation, and a committee was
appointed to inform Mr.. Cowles
who soon came into the court
house with Hon. Jas. W. Gaines,
of West Virginia, the orator of
the occasion.
Mr.. Cowles made a few remarks
accepting the nomination and
introduced Mr.. Gaines, who en-
tertained the crowd wi t h a
straight, logical high ariffspeech
which showed him to he a first
class reasoner and a speoker of
fine ability, free from personali-
ties and altogether entertaining.
Ii Mr.. Cowles could have Mr..
Gaines make his canvass, he
would he much more certain of
election.
Henry Reynolds, recently ap-
pointed collector of the western
district of n. Z. was re elected
and accepted the position OF
Chairman OF the Executive Com.
mittep, and unless President TAFT
varies from the heretofore un.
variable rule, Reynolds cannot
be collector and chairman OF this
committee Mt the same time.
There is much speculation as to
the meaning oi all this, many
saying it means Reynolds with
drawal from the collector raca,
it's retention by Brown till after
election, then Reynolds for collec-
tor in case Cowles is elected; Cow
!es for collector, if defeated for
Congress. Meanwhile, I'VE shall
see what we shall see' and that
now, more than ever, it looks
like q Democratic Representative
from the the 9Th district after
next election.
