Jap War Talk Is Called Criminal

the suggestion that it might not be
improper for congress to start an in
vestigation with a view to ascertaining
why this talk of hostilfties between
the United States and Japan con-
tinues. 1t is pointed out that such an
investigation ought to reveal whether
as a matter of cold fact there is any
basis for the stories that are constant
ly put in circulation. For nearly four
years this talk has gone on here at the
capital. and naturally has spread to
other sections of the country.
President Taft has recently found it
necessary to invite the ambassador of
the Japanese empire to the White
House and assure him personally that
the administration is in no way re-
sponsible for the war talk that has re-
Gently been INDUCED in, and to reiter-
ate to him that the United States has
only the kindliest feelings for Japan.
During the last month many stories,
circumstantial in character, have been
passed around here tending to show
that Japan is preparing to fight this
country. Every one of them on in
vestigation has been found to be base
less.

For years. until Mr.. Cummins be-

been one OF the "do-nothing" commit

ton to provide for the retirement
and pensioning OF superannuated en-
ployees OF the various government de-
partments.
1t now is proposed to embrace the
civil service classification and the
promotion and retirement features in
one comprehensive measure.
There is no intention, II is under

branch of the government through the
proposition to designate by law the
positions that shall be filled under
the civil service rules. 1t is designed.

crowd, talking politics with his old
cronies in the house and a general
dislike for formality, especially when
the formality is a prolonged affair

plans for the New Year reception.
Mr.. Sherman was the first man re-
ceived by the president. The vice
president then became a member of
the presidents receiving party. The
presiding officer of the senate contin-
ued to bow sweetly as long as pos
sible, and then quietly stepped into
the line of guests which had already
passed the president and walked out
to the east room, where there were
hundreds of politicians of various
brands. The vice-president was hav-
ing a fine time when he was inter
rupted by Capt. Archibald Butt, the
presidents military aid.

Butt, you have been missed from the

.FR0STING FOR CAKES
FULL DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS
OF MAKING 1T RIGHT.
Success Depends Mainly on Steady
and Brisk Whlpplng-How Icing
ls coIored and Applied
for Decoration.

Take some paper; parchment or a
sheet of very thin notepaper, and roll
ing it into the shape of a funnel. pin
1t together, cutting off the lower end
just above the bottom.
Make frosting as follows. Put
whites of four eggs into a bowl and
whip them with strong whip or
whisk until they are dry. The success
OF the frosting depends entirely on
the steady and brisk whipping be-
tween additions OF sugar. Add one ta-
blespoon of confectioner's sugar, which
has been carefully sifted, and whip
briskly for three minutes. then add
another tablespoon of sugar and whip
as before. After third tablespoon has
been added, add half teaspoon of lem
on juice and whip briskly again. Con-
tinue this process until mixture is stin
enough to hold In any form.
The icing should now be divided In
to as many parts as there are colors,
and each portion colored delicately to
the desired shade. Care must be taken
to mix the paste thoroughly through
frosting, as otherwise specls OF color
will appear in 1t.
Round loaf cakes lend themselves
better to decorations than square
ones. 1t should be iced and put away
to stand for at least one hour. The re-
mainder OF icing should be kept COW
cred with a damp cloth.
Draw a circle the size of the cake on
a piece of paper. and draw any de-
sign, such as flowers, figures, etc, on
the paper Perforate design with a
pin, thus making a pattern. If paper
is firm you may place 1t upon frosted
cake, rough side of paper on cake, rub
bing gently so that pin pricks Will
show in frosting, or you may place pa
per ON cake and sprinkle over 1t a lit
tie finely powdered charcoal so that
when paper is taken off the pattern is
left on cake. Then take the funnel
and partly fill It with icing OF desired
color. Fold the top of funnel over
icing, so that none of the icing Will
flow over top of funnel when contents
are being forced out of the bottom.
Holding funnel in one hand, move 1t
along the lines of the designs, using
the other hand to squeeze Icing on pat
tern. 1t is good idea to always be-
gin in center and work outward.

AN INSTRUCTIVE ADDRESS.
Mr.. Blackwell Talked Entertainingly
About South's Great Staple.

Jackson.-Mr. n. T. Blackwell, OF Dali
las, one of the foremost cotton experts
in the country, delivered an interesting
address at the court house. His address
was i'll part as follows;

a small one at that. There are many
things you should know about cotton
that you do not know because your i'll
terest in your cotton ceases when you
throw it off at the cotton warehouse"
He pied for soil conservation and diver
sification as the only hope for the con-
tinued prosperity of the South. He
called attention to the waste in burning
cotton stalks which contain SO per ton
of potash and phosphate which should be
returned to the soil.
Continuing he said the present pros
perity and independence of the South
are due more than anything else to di-
versifcation, which, of course, has been
at the expense of the cotton acreage. 1t
is a staggering fact, but a fact never
theless, that a IL, 200, OOO-bale crop at Is
cents per pound will bring $825,OOo, 900,
while a 10, O0O,O0O-bale crop at IL cents
per pound will bring only $780,000, 900.
Every farmer knows that it will cost
fully $50, 0 0 900 more to produce the
extra 100000 bales, which would fur
Their reduce the net price received for a
10000, 000-bale crop to even 100000, 900.
Not only this enormous sum would
be lost, but a corresponding reduction
in grain, potatoes, vegetables and other
agricultural products must give way for
"A 10000, O0O-bale crop, and would there
fore be lost entirely. Cotton-planters;
