PROBE MAY COVER PRIMARY
Senator Hepburn, Chairman of Steph-
snson Investigating Committee, De-
cIares Scope of Work Uncertain.

Milwaukee.-Until the committee
appointed to investigate the election
OF Senator Isaac Stephenson meets in
Milwaukee early in October, it will
not be known whether the investiga-
ton will be confined to the election
of Senator Stephenson or whether the
primary nomination will be included
in the investigation.
This was the statement made by
Senator w B. Hepburn, chairman of
the committee, who stopped over in
Milwaukee while on his way from
Washington to his home in Wallace,
Idaho.
Senator Heyburns visit was for
the purpose of looking over the situa-
ton and making preliminary arrange
ments for the meeting of the commit
tee.
There will be much interest taken
in the decision of the committee re-
garding the scope of the investiga-
tion. Those opposed to Senator Steph-
enson are anxious that the commit
tee take UP the expense at the
primary election. rs that was where
Senator Stephenson's money was
spent.
If the investigation extends to the
primary the committee may remain
in session six or seven weeks.

FRENCH LOVE OF DRAMATIC
National Trait illustrated by story Of
Soldier Who Was Carrying
the Pardon.

When Marshal MacMahon was
president of the French republic, an
incident occurred which aptly illus
trates the French love of what Is
dramatic.

of hill overlooking garrison town;
his horse was picketed close by; the
man was smoking leisureiy, and from
time to time he glanced from tho
esplanade to big official envelope he
held In HIS hand
A comrade passing by asked, what
are you doing here?"

don for our friend Flichmann, who is
to be shot this morning" replied the
smoker, calmly, without changing his
comfortable attitude.
Well, then. you should hurry along
with your pardon admonished his
comrade

some Indignation. See. there is hard.

The county fair is one of the grand.
est agricultural organizations in the
country There is nothing which of.
fers better opportunity for profit at
the fair than the live stock exhibits.
Every community of the county should
have representatives of it's live stock

of advertising that can be employed.
The interchange OF ideas among ex.
hibitors and the opinion of Judges and
onlookers concerning the animals is
of great benefit to men who are anx.
ious to breed and own live stock as
good as any to be found elsewhere in
the country.
There are many animals in every
community which can make credit
able showing at the county fair with
out very much expense. Do not wait
for the superintendent to solicit your
animals. Notify him or the secretary
that you are going to show and want
suitable quarters for your animals.
DO not go for just the money there is
in the cash premiums, for the other
fellow may get this unless you have
been before and learned what is neces.
sary to get your share of it, Go for
the purpose of showing your stock to
the onlookers and the Judge and learn
how It compares with other stock.

VERY RICH NEVER GENEROUS
They May Give Away Their Money,
but Never Themselves, Says
G. X. Chesterton.


There are two other odd and rather
Important things to be said about
them. The first is this: That with
this aristocracy we do not have the
chance of a lucky variety In types
which belongs to larger and looser
aristocracies. The moderately rich
include all kinds of people-evan
good people. Even priests are some
times saints; and even soldiers are
sometimes heroes. Some doctors have
really grown wealthy by curing their
patients and not by hattering them;
some brewers have been known to
sell beer But among the very rich
you will never find a really generous
man, even by accident. They may
give their money away, but they viii
never give themselves away: they are
egotistic, secretiye, dry as old bones.
To be smart enough to get all that
money. you must be dull enough to
want 1t.
Lastly, the most serious point about
them is this: That the new miser is
flattered for his meanness and the
old one never was. 1t was never
called self-ienial in the old miser that
he lived on beans. II is called self
denial in the new millionaire il he
lives on beans A man like Dancer
was never praised as a Christian
saint for going in rags. A man like
Rockefeller is praised as a sort of
pagan stole for his early rising or his
unassuming dress. His simple"
meals. his simple" clothes, his
simple" funeral. are all extolled as
II they were creditable to him. They
are disgraceful tc him, exactly as dis
graceful as the tatters and vermin of
the old miser were disgraceful to him.
To be in rags for charity would be the
condition of a saint; to be in rags
for money was that of a filthy old
fool Precisely in the same way, to
be simple" for charity is the state
of a saint; to be simple" for money
Is that of filthy old fool OF the two

War

One inevitable Characteristic OF
modern war is, that it is associated
throughout, in all particulars, with a
vast and most irregular formation OF
commercial enterprise. There is no
incentive to Mammon-worship so re-
markable as that which II affords. The
political economy of war Is now one
of Its most commanding aspects
Even apart from the fact that
war suspends, ipso facto, every rule
of public thrift, and tends to sap hon
esty itself In the use OF the public
treasury for which 1t makes such I'M
bounded calls, It therefore is the
greatest feeder of that lust of gold
which we are told is the essence OF
commerce. though we had hoped It
was only It's occasional besetting sin.

Methods and Recipes for

Nearly every farm and household
has an ice cream freezer. If 1t has
not, part of the equipment of the
home is missing. Ice cream which
has been regarded as a delicacy, Is
coming to be an important article of
food. Good ice cream is a wholesome
food for every member of the family
and Is enjoyed by all
Ice cream can be very easily pre-
pared in every home and at small ex.
pense Almost any mixture Of cream,
milk and sugar with a few eggs and
fiavoring can be made into a good ice
cream. There are perhaps several
hundred different recipes for making
various kinds of Ice cream All cook
books contain recipes for making
dainty dishes called ice cream. A
great many Of these formulas have
too many ingredients, the compound
ing OF which is too tedious for the or
binary housewife.
Ice creams may be divided into two
classes: The plain ice cream, which
consists of cream, milk and sugar;
and French ice cream, which has eggs
in addition to the cream and sugar
The mixture is often boiled into
custard and then frozen.
Here Is simple formula which viii
make a fine, creamy, delicious product
II properly frozen: For one gallon Ice
cream use two quarts cream, one quart
milk, three-fourths pound sugar, va
niIla or other favoring.
All the ingredients are mixed at
once and put into the freezer II
crushed fruit Is to be used for favor
ing, it is not best to add this until
the other mixture has begun TO freeze
Another simple formula, iaeluding
eggs. is as follows: For one gallon
ice cream, two quarts cream. one
quart milk, two eggs, three-fourtns
pound sugar, favoring
The cream, milk and sugar are
mixed first. The whites and yolks of
the eggs are beaten up separately and
then stirred into the mixture The
whole is then frozen as before.
The secret Of making good ice cream
lies in the method of freezing IT, A
good mixture is often spoiled by IN
proper freezing. Very often it is
frozen too rapidly. the machine Is
turned too fast, or 1t is frozen too
long. A mixture OF cream and MIX
