As the Thanksgiving dinner is primarily
family dinner let there be as little
ceremony as Is consistent with the habits
OF the family, and whatever happens do
not commit the almost objectionable
crime Of having the turkey, that king OF
birds, carved in the pantry.
Thanksgiving being at once national
holiday and a home festival, in which the
children Of the family play an important
part it is rather better to have a noon
day dinner. though OF course, that is en-
trely matter Of preference.

The fruit cocktails may be served in
orange skins. With a sharp knife cut the
oranges in two, crosswise about one-third
from the top. Remove the pulp, fasten
small bow OF green ribbon on the smal,r
piece and use it for a cover. FIJI the

replace the cover. Serve individually

In these enlightened days OF the TWEEN
,ietb century, when so much thought Is
being given to the maintenance OF proper
food values and well balanced meal II
seems particularly fitting that the supJec'
of Thanksgiving menus should DC us

served on Thanksgiving Day
During the days Of our forefathers the
THANKSGIVING dinner table was loaded
down with such a collection OF indigesuoie
foodstuffs that il seems 10 US little snort
Of miraculous that the guests survived 10
tell the tale.
There Is no good reason why comol-
nation Of white potatoes, sweet potatoes
and squash should appear on the Thanks
giving menu, when ono would never dream
Of combining these vegetables at any otner
time. Likewise IL Is an unpardonapie
offence from a scientific point OF view 70

combination Of desserts such as mince pie,
pumpkin pie and crullers. study OIL
some Of the more antiquated COOK DOCKS
shows that this custom has existed Tor
several generations, and it Is TO be re-
GREETED that many OF our modern menu
builders still cling TO the old-fashioneo
idea Of heavy, indigestible ThankssN-
ing feast as best representing the spirit
Of the day.
THANKSGIVING comes at q season OF the
year which suggests plenty" and pre-
sumably. in order TO keep in line with the
old traditions so dear 10 every one

Thanksgiving dinner must all means

BUTTER CREEK Is
FREE FROM TANGLE

L. D. Howland, special water mast
er appointed by the state for Umatilla
county. is at present engaged in the
long and exhaustive task of dividing
the waters of Butter creek according
to the terms of a decree issued by the
state board of control on January -
He has been thus employed for sever
al weeks and estimates that it will
require until the first of May to COM
p,ete the task.
Through the efforts of a few of
the influential settlers along Butter
creek, this stream was released from
the ENHANCEMENT into which it along
with all other tributaries of the Una
tilla became involved when the gov
ernment filed its adjudication suits.
Inasmuch as all of the water of this
creek is used before it has a chance
to enter into the river, the govern
ment was induced to dismiss the suits,
thus fastening the final division of
the waters by year or so.
According to Mr.. Howland, the
land along Butter creek is of such a
nature that with one irrigation it will
produce three big crops of hay while
with no irrigation it fails to produce
one crop

GARBAGE BUMPERS
MUST OBEY THE LAW

Complaints are being made by res
idents of the eastern part of the city
regarding the dumping of garbage
along the road leading out of the
Franklin street gulch. 1t is said that
within the past week garbage has
been dumped along that thorough
fare and that the act is in clear vio-
lation of the city ordinance upon the
subject. The ordinance provides a
severe penalty for dumping garbage
anywhere within the city limits aside
from the city dumping grounds be
low the city.
1t seems evident that in the Frank
lin street case the parties at fault
acted under the impression they were
outside the city limits and so had
the privilege of dumping garbage
there If they so desired. They were
within the city limits however and
even had they been beyond the limits
they would still be subject to punish
ment under the state law.
County Judge-J. w. Maloney de-
clares that under the state law it is
an offense to dun garbage any
where near county road and that
wherever cases of this sort are
called to the attention of the county
plant of this sort came in from the
Adams country but few days since
and when the offending party wa'
called to account removed the gar
bage.

GERMAN STRIKERS
SABERED BY POLICE
Statesman Sees Revolution
and Demands Drastic
Measures

Berlin, March 12-Fierce clashes
between striking miners and the po-
lice today marked the coal strike. The
most serious trouble occurred at
Hamborn, Dusseldorf, where the po-
lice charged the strikers and sabered
scores of them.
Speaking in the Prussian senate,
Herr Won Puttkamen, former provis-
ional governor, attacked the strikers
and said the government should end
the strike, no matter what drastic
measures were necessary to crush the
miners.
Won Puttkamen declared that there
was enough strikebreakers to work
the mines if the government would
protect them. He said that Germany
under pressure OF the socialists, is
rushing toward a revolution.
Socialists openly announced their
desire for a republic" said he. Their
demands are bringing the country
near a state of terrorism
The time has come when the gov
ernment must adopt the sternest
measures to save the nation

Tended the right or the miners to
strike.
