Tho Pastors Responsibility.

1t is marvel how some societies
exist at all, when year after year they
are seldom visited by their pastor,
when no word of encouragement is
spoken. and when goeral amount of
scolding is expected for every derelic-
ton and failure to live up to the high
est ideals OF Christian Endeavor.
rejoice that such a multitude of
societies the country over can today
say. as did so many in the Clark union.
Our pastor is with u.s." More and
more as pastors realize the vital neces-
sity of being one with the young peo-
pie, the eager. loving hearts of the
Christian Endeavorers will respond,
"Our pastor Is with Us. Pilgrim. in

RECIPES.


Moi furnishes the recipes below for
salmon loaf and creamed CLANS. The di-
rections for making clam pie were given
one OF our NJ. BIS by native OF Cape Cod -
a sweet faced lady whom / once had the
pleasure of meeting. though / do not
know as she was ever in Maine.
CLAM PIE - Prepare CLAIMS as for a
chowder and chop fine. Line deep dish
with pastry, then put in a layer OF
CLANS, thin layer OF cracker crumbs, q
little pepper, and clam water (three- quar-
ters Of a cup il CLAIMS were steamed, or, il
opened raw, one-half cup). Continue
layers until dish is filled. The top layer
should be pastry instead of cracker
crumbs. Dot the top with butter before
putting on crust.
SALMON LoAF-Remoye skin and bones
from u can of salmon and fake fish finely.
beaten eggs, one cup milk, one table
spoonful melted butter, juice of half a
lemon, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly,
turn into buttered pan and bake forty
five minutes. Turn out on hot platter and
serve with white sauce with or without
hard boiled eggs.
DREAMED CLAM5-Clean and chop the
clans and cook few minutes in just a
little water. Add them to a cream as pre-
pared for cream toast and serve on toasted
crackers. Whole oysters are used the
same way. In fact, most anything is good
creamed on crackers.

George Lambert, OF Bar Harbor, la

bail for the April grand jury, charged
with arson in connection with a recent
fire at C. A. Weayer's blacksmith shop.
The fire bore the marks OF an ineendiary,
and after investigation suspicion pointed
to Lambert. There appeared to be two
distinct fires in the blacksmith shop, and
shayings saturated with kerosene oil were
found on the floor in both places where
the fire caught. The fire department ex-
tinguished the flames before much damage
was done. Soon after being questioned
by the police, Lambert left for Bangor,
where he was arrested Thursday.

Amos WincheIl, a pioneer of
Idaho and for fifty years a resi-
dent of this locality, died last
night at the residence of w. H..
Ross. Mr.. Mitchellcame to Idaho
with John Ross in 1862 and has
made his home with the Ross
family since that time He was
probably 80 or S3 years of age,
but didn't know his exact age.
During the last SIX years he has
been away from the Ross farm
only once, when he made a trip
to Parma. He was well up to
within a few hours of his death,
which was probably due to heart
failure. His remains will be
buried at the Tucker Cemetery
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow.

Memphis, Tenn.-The torrent of the
Mississippi river rushing southwark
tore another great gap in the levees
guarding the valley.
The crevasse occurred sixty miles
north of Memphis, in the embankment
that held the stream off the central
part of st. Francis levee territory in
Arkansas.
This new breach simply adds to the
great floods reaching northeast Arkan-
sis. Already part of the district had
been inundated. Apparently there will
be no loss of life.
In the fastness OF the northeast Ar
kansas country are settlements that
the outside world rarely ever heard Of
In several places naught of the COM
ing flood was known. There is pos
sibility that many such places have
been overtaken by the tide. Doubtless
there has been tremendous suffering
among these water-imprisoned people.
South of Memphis the levees are
holding well and armed men are pa
trolling them.
Between LOO and 1000 square
miles, including more than 100000
acres of rich farming land in north
eastern Arkansas in the st. Francis
basin, are affected by a break in the
main line Of the levee system about
fifty miles north of Memphis, near Col
den Lake, Ark.
Marked Tree and Wilson, Ark, are
inundated, and many other villages are
threatened. No loss of life had oc-
Cured so far as known here. Tele-
phone lines to Marked Tree and Will
son are down.
The damage will run into millions.
Thousands of head of livestock per-
ish. Boats bearing rescue parties al
ready are in these parts of flooded
areas nearest Memphis.
News from the other sections of the
northern river district is cheering.
Supplies of tents, bedding and cloth
ing arrived in the Reelfoot lake terri
tory of Tennessee. Refugees brought
from Wyanoke, Ark. have been made
comfortable in Memphis.
The diversion of a vast quantity of
water into the st. Francis basin by the
break should afford relief between
Barfield and Helena, about 200 miles.
Towns which engineers say are un-
der water from three to ten feet deep
are: Marked Tree, 200 persons; Will
son, 500; Big Lake, 200; Deckerville,
500; Tyronea, $50.
Besides these many minor settle
ments probably are inundated.
At Wilson and Marked Tree there
are large sawmills. The loss to these
possibly will reach $1,000,000.
