Dear Sir:-A copy of letter writ

CESS of Stanfield, oregon, under date
of January 18th, 1912, has come to

tary.
We wish to inform you that these
gentlemen have no connection what
ever with this association and reside

~ ADDY said that small Bonnie vas a funny little chap, and he would
Z tell them story about him., SO Jack nj Evelyn Struggled doW in
the story corner to hear what he had to say.
Bonnie is just five years old, and in the country town where d
lives thieves have been going from house to house, taking money, a piece
If silver from the sideboard or clothing from the rack in the hall.
One afternoon Bennies mother went to the city to 10 some shopping.
When she came home hi sMd III would bring Aunt Fannie with he ITO spend
a few days.
After his mother left Bonnie went ut % the kitchen to talk it over with
Bridget, but Bridget was nodding owe tn last nights newspaper. She n
swered SO seepny that Bonnie went back itot the sitting room, whereh 10 had
been playing with Gyp.
" Let's play burar, Gypie' said Bonnie to the dog.
"Gyp barked what Bonnie took to be les yes! and they went upstairs ito
find som clothes to dress up In.

got Out daddys high hat. Even by tipping it back O n his head it came well
dow over his nose.

Just as mother and Aunt Fannie opened the gate Bonnie jumped out.

Scared? OF course those w ladies ought to have beer scared when a

OPPOSITION TO RECORD.

The Progressives in Hudson coun-
ty are beginning to express their OPP
position to the leadership of George
l.. Record. This is not to be Won
dered at. 1t is only surprising that
they have put up with such a leader
SO long. One of the most d~iscourag-
ing features in connection with all
reform movements, such as the Pro-
gressives are now carrying on, is that
such men as Record promptly jump
into the limelight and pose as lead
ers, thereby bringing discredit upon
the whole party.
There Is no doubt that the fact
that Record has played such a promi-
nent part in the Progressive cause
and posed as a leader for New Jersey
in all the party's national councils,
has lost for the party a great many
followers that it would otherwise
have.
Such men as Everitt Colby and
Borden D. Whiting are the real Pro-
gressives of New Jersey and 1t is to
them the rank and file Of the new
party should look for their leader
ship. OF course, in all great move
ments Of this kind an Objectionable
character will creep in along with
the rest. A mai cannot be stopped
from taking a part in a public u
of this kind. He may even take an
| active part in furthering the princi-
| pies of such a cause. The only way
in which the people can be assured
that he is not the leader is for the
party to refuse to recognize him in
the councils.
1t would be an excellent thing for
the Progressive party in New Jersey
1t 1t would unload such men as
George l.. Record as quickly as pos
sible.

WHAT To DO WITH VEAL.

Veal, to Be wholesome. should never
be put on tho market until six or
eight weeks old. Younger meat ID apt
to produce serious disturbance In the
digestive tract. Good veal may be
told by It's pinkish colored flesh and
white tat. Veal should be thoroughly
cooked, and being deficient In fat, pork
or other fat should be supplied.
Veal PIe.-Cook until tender a por-
ton Of the leg or shoulder; u the
meat In bits. add a few slices OF fat
salt pork, add ream to cover 6ea-
son and put a Of biscuits over
tho top and bake. A little onion adds
to the flavor OF this pie. Chicken pie
may be pieced out very satisfactorily
by cooking q piece Of veal with the
chicken. The flavor can hardly be
distinguished from chicken.
Veai BIrds-Remove the bone and
skin from thin slices Of veal taken
from the leg. Pound until a half-inch
thick; out in pieces an inch and a
half by two and a halt. each piece ma
king a bird. Chop tho trimmings Of
the meat, add a piece Of fat salt pork,
two or three small cubes to each piece
or bird. Add equal parts Of cracker
crumbs moistened with egg, onion
Juice, lemon Juice and seasoned with
salt and pepper.
Spread this mixture Y the pieces
Of meat, roll up and fasten with two
tooth picks put In to resemble the
legs Of a bird. Brown in a little hot
butter, cover with stock made from
stewing the bones and bits OF skin,
and cook twenty minutes, or until ten
der. Serve with a white sauce poured
around tho birds.
The white sauce is made by cover
ing the meat with req after dredg-
ing we'll with flour.
Veal Loaf.-Put a knuckle OF veal
with a pound Of the meat and one on
ion into boiling water and cook slow
ly until tender. Drain and chop tho
meat nne, season with salt and pep
per. Garnish the bottom Of the mold
with hard cooked eggs, sliced, sprinkle
with parsley and cover with a layer
of the meat; repeat, then pour over
the meat liquor reduced to q cupful.

ADAPTING THE PANIER
PARTISAN IDEA ADOPTED, WITH
OUT UNDUE ExAeGERATION.
Result Has Been Gracefulness Com
bined With kovslty-sest Adapt
ed for the Slim, Well-Turned
Woman-Suggestlon.

Midsummer finds a marked Increase
in panier effects. but the most ap-
proved models are still without any
of the exaggeration the name might
suggest. The putting of the tunics is
for the most part very low down, 80
that the overdress only differs from
others In the gathering in Of the bot
tom limo. Various devices are used
to achieve the slight putting over the
trimming band, but sometimes the
cut Is all that IL needed, a little more
depth at the sides Of the overdress
than at the back or front making tho
slight bullying desired. For these
conservative models. as we'll as for
those with tho fullness at tho hips or
slightly lower, the softest fabrics are
used so that tho lines OF the figure are
still very graceful. It is quite plain
from all the arrangements Of the
panier that gracefulness Is still far
more desired than novelty, and 80 1t
comes about that women who never
believed 1t possible tC wear these dra-
peries are yet wearing them, and
sometimes look better than they did
in the plain skirts. With every spe-
oies Of panler tunio the ~underskirt Is
still very scant, and the figure seems
to get an added y~outhfulness from the
pulled ovsrdress. But the panler has
It's limitations. Only slim. well-turn-
ed women can wear 1t with any d.
gree of smartness; on others, thu
chunky figures or the one too tall
for Abe piquant detail, pan!ers seem
something Of an absurdity.
In line and dignity and a certssn
gentle softness, the costume illustrat-
ed offers splendid suggestions for
mourning, and the dress seems like
wise suited to the matron, both youth
full and middle aged. The model, too,
gives n Of the best Ideas for using
up old materials as before mentioned

ALL NATIONS

While President Taft has paced
his signature to the Panama canal
bill and thereby made useless any
further discussion as to the right and
Justice contained in this measure, yet
we cannot help but comment on the
following editorial which was pub
iished in the New York World:
President Taft's justification Of
his signature to the Canal bill is la
bored and long, but not convincing;
and in his protestations OF no inten-
ton to violate the treaty we may
doubt II he has quite convinced him
self.
~ 1.-THE canal shall be free and open
to the vessels Of commerce and war
OF all nations observing these rules
on tersms of entire equality Do
these words of the treaty mean what
they say7 Do 'all nations mean all
other nations except u own? Does
entire equality mean partial equal
ity?"
The World is highly incensed be-
cause the bill gives the free use Of
the canal to all vessels engaged in
American coastwIse commerce. 1t
claims that the terms Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty say that "all ma
tons shall use the canal on terms
Of entire equality" This, as the
World thinks, includes the United
States as well as every other nation
Of the world.
But let US apply the principle to
the World itself. We believe the
World to be a highly reputable Jour-
nal and for that reason opens its ad-
yertising columns to all business
houses on terms of entire equality"
That Is, every person desiring to ad-
yertise in the World will be charged
exactly the same rates for the same
amount Of space. But this does not
mean that the World, itself, when il
desires to advertise It's own business
or any feature connected herewith
must pay the same rate that 1t charg-
es other business houses. There can
be no mistake when the World states
that its columns are open to all bust
ness houses on equal terms. Every
one knows that the World can use az
much space as 1t wants in its owr
would not the same principle appl,
