NACNER ANGRY
AT PURCHASE
OF NEW PUMP
Chairman Of Pump Committee Says
Cost too Much and He Was
Not Consulted
"Who- bought that pump"

"Who bought that, pump"
That was the question, fired at the
City Council, by Alderman Magner,
chairman of the Pump and Water
Committee, when he rose to discuss
the new centrifugal pump ordered
by the Citizens Committee, and
purchased by Wilbur ThistIewood.
The question was asked without
frills and was preliminary to a warm
speech, on the subject.
The question and subsequent
speech came at the mention of the
new pump by another member of
the Council The alderman stated
that the pump had been purchased
and would arrive this morning,
ready for installation.
Asked to Prepare,
Immediately Magner jumped to
his feet "Who ordered that pump?''

Kelly Explains Purchase.
Immediately that Magner ended
his speech, Alderman Kelly espous-
ed the cause Of the Citizens Commit
tee. He declared that several manu-
facturers in the seep district were
either not able to run their plants
or had to run with a greatly de-
creased force, because of the incon-
venience caused by the water. Kelly
cited his own case, where he and his
brothers have thousands of feet of
lumber in the water.
The pump was purchased upon the
recommendation OF Alderman Walsh

CAKE IS GOOD FOOD.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore, June 5.-That cake is a
concentrated food, the average slice
containing practically as much food
value as one and one-half glasses of
milk is the opinion of Professor Ava
B. Milan of the domestic science de-
partment at the Oregon Agricultural
College in the first Of a series of
scientific articles on "F'actors Affect
ing the Economic and the Dietetic
Value of Foods in the current
number of the journal of Home
Economics.
'When an article of diet comes into
as general use as has cake the factors

lack of definite knowledge of these
factors and inadequate means of con-
trolling the conditions. The purpose
of the study was to show the effect of
varying the kind and form of in
gradients on the quality, the cost
and the economic and dietetic value
of cakes.

TO REDUCE COST OF LIVING.

Wilbur, WASH, June 20, 1912.
From all over the country come re-
ports of united effort to meet the ex-
igency created by the increased cost
of living. Naturally the class of
people materially interested in this
subject is the rank and file OF
humanity-those who must labor for
a living. TO the rich, high prices
are not necessarily vexing problem.
Their income will justify the required
outlay. They can afford to ''pay the
price, without Jeopardizing their
proceeds. Not so with the poor, or
those who must exist upon a work-a-
day wage scale. To them the problem
of "making ends meet, " under ex-

fiours, although good cakes may be
made with bread flour. The high
gluten content in bread -four is un-
desirable in cakes. The form of sugar
used greatly affects the quality of
the cake with little effect on the cost.
Powdered sugar is most easily and
thoroughly mixed in the solid state.
Cakes of as good quality are obtained
by using water as by using milk,
either whole or condensed When
water is used the cake costs one and
one-half cents less than when milk is
used, but the food value is also de-
creased. Eggs are essential. serving
as leavening agents and influencing
the flavor, texture, grain, and food
value. II fresh powders are used a
fairly good cake may be made with
desiccated eggs il fresh ones are not
available. Reducing the amount of
butter in the standard three cup flour
recipe, from three -four tbs to half a
cup of butter, the food value is lower
ed but the quality seems improved.
If the cakes are not eaten warm, lard
substitutes that are fresh may be used
instead of butter.

THE LAYING COMPETITIONS.

In cur last issue, in response to
numerous requests from Ranch read
ers for information as to the progress
of these contests, we published Farm
Poultry's opinion of the highly un-
satisfactory state of affairs at the
Storrs, Connecticut Experiment
Station. We have not received any
data from the managers of the Mis-
souri, competition, in response to our
request for same, but have been for
tunate to find an up to date sta tement
of the progress of the contest in the
Pacific Poultryman. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the director of the com
petition omitted from the record the
figures on the Single Comb White
Leghorns, one of the largest and most
important classes in the competition.
These figures are also Of interest in
showing how poorly the average
American hen lays and how very
necessary it is that breeders should
work for improvement in that respect.
The 655 fowls engaged in this COM
petition have laid but an average of
63 eggs each in the first six months
of the contest, and those the most
productive six months at that, for
from the latter half OF the year comes
the losses due to broodiness and at
least two months of Noting.
Now the breeders from all over the
country who have each picked five
birds to represent them in this con-
test have certainly sent birds that are
not only far above the average of their
own focks, but incomparably superior

listing conditions, is one that taxes
their wits as we'll as their energy.
AS rule they must forego many
health inspiring pleasures which they
really ought to have. The wage they
receive is not proportionately as high
as the price they must pay for the
necessaries of life Little or no hope
is in evidence for their relief. Rather
contrary view of the situation is
taken. Prices are continually climb
ing.
My remedy? WE'LL [ know how one
of the leaks can be stopped. II the
consumer in the city would plan to
get his produce from first hands, he
would save about half of present cost.
To do this would require organization.
The strength of unity would enable
consumers to buy their needs in bulk
direct from the producers and the
profits of commission houses and re-
tail stands would be eliminated. The
grower would get as much for the
products of his farm garden or orchard
as he receives now, and the city con-
sumner would save approximately half
of the present cost Of these products.
Twenty, fifty or one hundred families,
or still greater number could buy
their fruits in season, fresh from
first hands and in quantities that
would reduce freight charges. They
could do the same with vegetables
In short, they could get them just as
cheap as the commission house gets
them.
Merely suggestion-a hint is here
given as to the necessary procedure
to be taken to reduce, at least to some
extent, the present cost of living.
The scheme is neither new nor original
with me. 1t has been advocated by
others. There is no logical reason
why the city consumer cannot deal
to his advantage direct with the pro-
Queer.
