Vegetable Storage by 8uryina

Burying is one of the easiest, as
well as n of the most successful,
methods of storing vegetables. It
keeps the produce in good condition
and involves no expense. The meth
cd is open to the objection that it is
often difficult or impossible to remove
the contents at certain times during
the winter. However, a considerable
quantity may be taken out at once
and kept in the house cellar for a
week or two. Choose a bit of ground
preferably sandy, that is we'll drained
and we'll protected from surface
wash. Make an oblong pit of the re-
quired size, about a foot deep. Line
the bottom Of the pit with straw and
carefully place the vegetables in a
heap on he straw, apply a layer of
leaves md straw to protect the veyc-
tables and make their removal cas-
Ter. then add soil to a depth of four
to eight inches. A whisp of straw may
be set at intervals in the peak for
ventilation. Great care must be taxi
en- early in the season not to cove:
the vegetables too closely, as speedy
decay will result from heating and
sweating. AS the weather becomes
severe, manure may be piled on to
give additional protection.
When several vegetables are to be
stored, or when they are to be re-
moved at different times during the
winter, it is we'll to make the pit
very long and narrow. Earth parti.
tions may then be built in as the work
progresses. The different compart.
ments may be marked with stakes.
One compartment can be opened
without disturbing the others.-Paul
Work.

Investigate Charge Of Graft

Washington, Dec. 17.-Charges Of
irregular dealings between John
Burke, commissary manager for the
Panama canal work and contractors
who have been furnishing supplies,
are being investigated by the govern
ment. AS far as the investigation has
gone no loss to the government has
been revealed and the amount of
money involved has not yet been de-
termined. Broadly, the department is
Investigating to determine whether
Burke received commissions from con.
tractors.
1t was admitted officially today that
for the last six months the inquiry
has been in progress, based on charg-
rs offered by Charles A. Walsh, a for
mer subordinate of Burke in the COM
missary department. alleging that his
superior officer was demanding and
receiving commissions from persons
with whom he placed contracts for
food and other supplies for the canal
workers.

Defends Tariff Law

Washington, Dec. IS. - Speaker
Clark left his chair in the house today
to challenge the patriotism of "ca-
lamity bowling" republicans, after
Minority, Leader Mann had made a
speech picturing the country in the
throes of business and industrial de-
preston as a result of democratic
tariff legislation.
"As the greatest calamity howlers
in America" the speaker presented
Senator Root of New York, former
speaker Cannon, Chairman Hilles Of
the republican national committee for
mer Governor Hadley Of Missouri and
Representative Mann.
Vigorously defending the new tariff
law, MI. Clark asserted that If there
had been any hold up In business 1t
was simply because prudence was be-
ing exercised. He said the wish was
the father Of the thought with the re-
publican leaders, and suggested it was
strange no one else had seen signs
Of falling prices.

Object to High Appraisement

Washington, Dec. 16.-On behalf of
the entire Montana delegation, Senat-
or Myers today protested to the In
dian commissioner and the land COM
missioner against the high price at
which lands of the Flathead reserva-
ton have been appraised and efforts
will be made to have a new appraisal
ordered.
Many settlers entered on Flathead
lands with the understanding they
could purchase them at from $1.25 to
81 per acre, but the new appraisal
lists much Of the land at $50 per acre,
which price is considered exhorbitant
by the settlers as well as by the Mon
tana senators and congressman, and
is held to be a breach of faith with
the settlers. Commissioner Tallman
is inclined to believe a new appraisal
should be had, but Commissioner
Sells has not yet committed himself.

Dakota Murderer lynched

Williston, Dec. 16.-Cleve Culbert-
son, recently convicted of numbering
three members of the Dillon family
at Ray, N. D., was taken from the
Williams county jail by a mob this
morning and hanged from a bridge
near here.
Culbertson was lynched shortly be-
fore daybreak. The lynching party,
which consisted Of a large number of
masked men, battered down the doors
of the jail with a heavy iron pipe.
Despite the warnings Of Sheriff Err
ickson, the mob rushed into the Jail,
tore the door off the cell occupied by
the prisoner and dragged him out of
the building. He was then taken to
the middle of Muddy river a mile and
a half from town where he was hang
ed from the wagon bridge spanning
the stream. When the body was cut
down shortly after, it was found to
have been riddled with bullets.

A New Year Resolution

On a page devoted to New Year
resolutions in the January Woman's

tributor tells, as follows, what the
aim of his life is to be in 1914:
ITO keep the loose ends Of my life

WHY DECEMBER?

There are twelve months in the
year, and December is the twelfth.
"Decem" means "ten"-so why should
we call this month the tenth, in Latin
phrase, instead of the twelfth? Why
one wants to be classical and cor
rect? And why was the eleventh
month called November" as it was
the ninth, and why September and
October?
A writer in the Cleveland Plain
dealer explains that among the anci-
ent Romans the year began with
March. SO December was the tenth
month in the calendar of Romulus.
But in 712, b. c., Numa Pampilus di-
vided the yea into twelve months.
Numa put in January and February,
but he left the traditional names the
same.
Along in the second century of the
Christian era the Emperor Commod-
us decided to change the name of De-
cember. His idea was to call the
month after a sweetheart of his. But
her name happened to be Martha, and
there was already a March in the cal
endar. So he called it after her nick
name, "Amazonia." That name did
not last much beyond this eccentric
caesars death, however. The people
went back to the old December"
though that too was wrong.
AS heirs of the Anglo-Saxon tongue
We should call the month "Winter.
monath." After the pagan Saxons
were C%hristianized they altered it to
"Helighmonath." or holy month";" in
the German "Heilig Monat." This
was because Christmas occurred in
this month. and so it was varied into
"Christmonat." And the Saxons used
to begin their year on December 25,
Christmas day. 1t wasn't till after
the Norman conquest that New Years
day came on January l.
During the French revolution the
calendar was altered like so man.
other things. and poor old December
vas violently split through the mid
die. The first part of the month wal
called "Frumaire." which may b.
translated "Sleety:" the second hal
was called "Nivose," or Snowy" Blu
the revolutionists' calendar did no
last long. The week soon got bacl
to its traditional seven days, and tn,
year to its old-fashioned twelv,
months. But the twelfth month wa,
still called tenth" because the hu
man race is much more a creature o
conservative habit than any reforme
o. revolutionists can be forced to be
lieve.

CHANGE REPRESENTATION
Republican National Committee Will
Reform Convention Rules

Republican National Committee viii
Reform Convention Rules
Washington, Dec. 16.-After five
hours OF debate. the republican ma
tional committee determined tonight
that it was clothed With ample power
to readjust the composition Of the
party's national conventions, and had
authority to make reforms in CONVEX
ton rules and procedure that have
been demanded by many elements
since the convention Of 1912, and the
democratic victory at the polls last
November.
With little bitterness and no tangi-
BILE evidence that differences that
arose over methods could not be rec.
onciled, the committee took steps that
have been agitated in the party for
30 years and have been vital forces
in many exciting conventions in its
latter day history.
Without a dissenting vote, the COM
mittee decided to make a change in
the basis Of representation in nation.
al conventions which will greatly af-
feet southern states, gave full recog-
milton to the principle of the primary
in the election of de1egates to such
conventions, approved laws regarding
such elections adopted by several
states which provide that all dele
gates be selected at large, and accept
ed the principle that delegates prop
erly credited by the state authorities
shall be placed on the temporary con-
vention roll.
Informally, it had been agreed that
the new basis of representation
should be referred to the republicans
in the various states for ratification.
The only difference of opinion that
developed on the surface was over the
machinery to be used to effect the
reforms. OF the 40 committeeman
who voted on the one roll-call taken,
IA favored the calling Of a special
convention to bring about these
changes, and IS declared themselves
opposed.
