POET PHILOSOPHER
ON SALT RIVER

The long campaign is DER, and on
Salt Rivers shore we stand and
watch the boats of those who tried
to save this country from its grave,
and only lost their goats The rivers
cold and dark; the boatmen in their
bark, don't smile or sing or joke they
do not care a whOop what country's
in the soup, what government goes
broke They sadly guide their ship
the while their teardrops drip into
the briny flood the captain, bos'un,
mate have got their Crouch on
straight, the vessels name is Mud.
The sailors in the hold just stand
around and scold and curse their
blighted liver; their hope, they muir
muir, ends because their faithless
friends got after them with knives.
All, dismal is the scenel The old
ships masts careen and shake each
spar and yard; and from the haunted
shore the sailors hear the roar of
roorback and canard The woods
along the beach re-echo to the
screech of elephant and moose; the
donkey stands and brays for persisted
yesterdays and mutters: whats the
use /" Oh, sad old ship and gray, go
on your weary way, with all your
weeping meni Your voyage is in
vain; when there's a new campaign
they'll bring you back again Once
more they'll want to save the nation
from the grave, and help the Peepul's
cause The schooner seems to know
her timbers groan in woe, she wal
lows, tacks and yaws!

MAKING SWEET
MIXED PICKLES

Kindly let me know how to make
sweet mixed pickles. RS"
SWEET MIXED PICKLES - Cut
cauliflower into small spriggs; string
and clip string beans; peel Tom
Thumb tomatoes; put in whole cher
ries; add radish seeds (green) or any
other green thing you like. Put all
together into kettle and cover with
cold salt and water. Bring to boil
take from the fire and soak for half
an hour in ice water. Drain care
fully and pack in small jars. Pour
in spiced vinegar, add to each quart
a tablespoonful of French mustard
and half cupful of sugar
The vinegar should be boiling hot
and the jars be rolled in hot water
before the pickles 90 into them Cover
at once and set away for a week.
Then drain off the vinegar; boil up
once, and return to the pickles. Re-
peat this weekly for month.
After the last scalding seal the
jars.
The pickles will be ripe in two
months.
Some put in baby cucumbers and
gherkins and tiny strips of lemon
peel Consult taste and convenience
in the selection of materials. But
be careful not to get the mixture
"mushy."
You asked for recipe for toma-
to marmaIade. | have made it for
years, so it is tested Not only rel
atives at home but abroad, friends
consider it fine. | sincerely hope it
may serve you. l would have sent
the recipe before, but just discovered
your desire in CHANGING over old pap
ers.
Peel and cut tomatoes, put on the
stove and cook soft; run through
collender. To one pint OF pulp use
three cups of sugar and one-half tea
spoonful of salt. Cook down nearly
half; flavor with lemon and ginger
root.
We have printed sundry recipes for
tomatoe marmalade. insert this
because it may be made as readily
with canned and with fresh tomatoes
And the season for fresh tomatoes
is over for all except millionaires and
spendthrifts.
Mixed Pickles-Slice IL cucumbers
and IL onions, first peeling both, and
cover with strong salt and water.
Leave for three hours, then drain. To
a pint of vinegar add a cupful of SUI
gar, one teaspoonful of celery seed
and one teaspoonful of mustard seed.
Bring to boil, add the cucumbers
and onions, and boil for ten minutes
more. Seal in glass jars.
Making Salt Pork Fresh-In farm
ing districts seldom visited by butch
er's wagon after winter sets fairly
in, the following recipe should be well
coined and carefully preserved:
Put slices of Pork in a pan,cover
with sweet milk, set on the stove;
let it stand until the milk comes to
boil and the pork is freshened. Put
the pieces of meat into frying pan
cook to a nice brown; lay upon
platter; set in a warm oven. To
the drippings add flour, stirring I'M
til a nice brown. Over this pour
the milk that the pork was freshened
in for a milk gravy. You will not
know you are eating salt pork.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN

Our eyes thick for sumber and
brains tired and stale;
Nerves, we have to speak of, yet
dare to fail.
There always cries for copy and they
cry in vain,
For the Press's need is cruel and reeks not
of our pain.
Through the endless summer evening when
should be with wives
We endlessly recording all the tales of
lives
We recount the deeds of heros; there are
every day;
Or revelling in scandal for-about a
transfers pay.
We greet the newhedged statesman; self
important, great, eate
We The politicians what do to save
the state;
We clink the glasses with good fellows yet
we've got to keep head.
For the scandals of the living and the vir-
of the dead.
There that to- envy the posi-
tons that hold,
To think that typewriters like pens
of beaten gold;
For still keep happy faces-though our
homes seldom see
And the smiles of wife and children are de-
MED to such
But l guess We'll keep going; take
signments; do the work;
We may LOAF drink, gamble but
tasks may shirk;
For it's in blood the fever-and we die
off by one
But the Press goes forever, for its work
is done

NO OBJECTION HERE.

As fruit Of the last hours of Congress there is

Mr.. James M. Beck has written an opinion to
show that there is grave doubt about the constitu.

are unconstitutional. But If they not, or even
il they are The Washington Times, for one, is per-
fectly willing to give the United States Government,

ton aims to obtain. And we speak with authority

A chubby-faced, laughing boy was
chasing butterflies on the sands OF
Long Island. His home was at
Ithaca, N. Y. He was on a visit to
relatives with his mother. He was
six years old.
In his chase for the beautiful
things" he saw other boys gathering
cocoons and bug shells. His curios-
ity was aroused. Why did they do
this? What were they good for?
What? Why? Which? when3 Where

on tin roof. He found out all he
could. but was not satisfied.
Right there he became q bug sci
enlist. He did not know what 1t was,
but he was an entomologist. Per-
suasion, entreaty, threats, and the
prospect Of short rations failed to
turn him from the one set course In
life.
Entomology was not a bread-win-
ming game in those days. It had not
assumed such proportions even after
he entered Cornell, but he devoted
most OF his attention to the study OF
entomology and kindred sciences. He
would make a flrst-class hobby of II
anyway even II he had to work at
something else for living.
His family persuaded him to study
medicine, and after he graduated at
Cornell he returned for a prepara-
tory course In medicine. He had but
fairly begun this course when he was
called to take the position OF assist
ant entomologist In the United States
Department Of Agriculture.

AN EXTREMELY LIBERAL FINANCIAL
PLAN,

The Washington Post which is close enough to
the public utility corporations Of this town to deserve
credence, makes announcement that the Maryland
and Virginia corporation contempates ultimately a
consolidation Of public utility properties and bond
issue running up to $ioOooO,oOO, need for money
shall arise.
This is certainly liberal project The town held
its breath when, short time ago, it was announced
that the Maryland-vrgina corporation was starting
of with S3O,0OO,0OO authorized capital. Now it adds
a $i00y0 900 bond issue.
II is common report that the first issue Of stock
in the merger company was placed at Is cents.
Plainly, the stock is designed for purposes of CONTROL
not of financing. BY the time the modest utilities of
this town get swimming around in $l3O,O0O, 900 Of
capitalization, they will need financial deep div
ing apparatus to locate the bottom.
As this manhcent project unfods it demonstrates
just one thing more and more clearly:
There must be early provision Of public utilities
commission, with ample power, to wise all such mer-
gers, reorganizations, and financial proposals. The
public interest would be quite certain to be drowned
out in any such oceanic capitalization as is pro-
posed.

Nov, there Is, IN fact, a woman
with US who is really a wonderfully
expert counter but not in the
sense that the public take It. Indeed,
the Government isn't looking for any
specially rapid work in counting
things, such as bonds and bank bills;
accuracy In that line is far more de-
sired, and rapid counting ia not en-
couraged. for fear Of mistakes.

was DR.. Howard who indicted the
mosquito and condemned him, there
by leading to the intimidation Of
malaria and yellow fever. Later he
has put the common house fly, the
typhoid ny." as he calls 1t, on the
rack Of condemnation. He has gone
after the innocent" fly hammer and
tongs. A new book Of immense
value has just been published, not
only In America, but in England,
and is now being translated into
Hungarian for publication. This
crusade against the ny has already
been worth millions to humanity.
But this is not all. Millions Of
other bugs are detrimental to the
prosperity and happiness Of the peo-
pie. DR.. Howard busies himself in
finding out why and wherefore. and
the remedy.
His work In this respect Is too
we'll known to call for repetition
here.
It is also needless to say that DR..
Howard rose to the head Of his
bureau II not to the head Of his pro-
fession in the world. He has helped
to make "bugology" real profess
sion. And he was only following the
bent Of his sporting mind all the
time. It is the rarest play to him.

Gently conferred upon DR.. Howard
the honorary degree Of NJ. d. This is
a very rare performance in any in

LAZY WAR IN TRIPOLI.

1t seems that the Turko-Italan war is still wend-
ing its laggard way through the sands of Trpoli.
After a long lapse of news from the rear the most
sanguinary engagement of the war was reported on
Thursday. .Sixty-one Italians lost their lives and
300 Turks and Arabs were left dead on the field
The information comes from Rome.
Meanwhile in the same desutory way the So
called peace negotiations are dragging along at a
place called Ouchy, in Switzerland.
Yet the Italians have got from the war exactly
what they made the war to get They have headed
off German expansion in that part of North Africa
about Tripo and in a war Of no defeats they have
checked the menacing spread of Socialism in Italy
