fruitful porpoise hunting station Is
close to Cape Hatteras, and it is well

Because Of the risks run and the
skill required in this occupation the
crews are recruited from local fisher

the coast and are quite at home In

heads. steady nerves and the ability
to act quickly. The surfmen are ever

takes but little imagination to grasp
something of the excitement and the
peril Of their occupation.
The habit of the porpoise is to swim
in schools close in shore and prob

seward from the beach. This makes
it possible to intercept their course

The operation of capturing them is
simple to describe, but its proper exc

Sometimes the sea is SO smooth

their foe soon enough to go scurrying
off at great speed. Again. the waters
may be so troubleous that prompt

more of the boats may be swamped
before getting clear of the breakers,
making further successful efforts at
the time out of the question, or the
porpoises may be swimming too far
off shore to be reached with fair
chance Of drawing them to shallow
water before they can get away.
There are many times when the ef
forts of the fishermen are fruitless,
and days may pass without a single
porpoise putting in an appearance.
Sometimes haul will net less than a
dozen; perhaps the surfmen may land
half hundred. and there have been
occasions when more than double this

Once every so often the glad news
is sent forth that the onion is about
to be deodorized by some wizard of
plant life, and the wives and intimate
friends of the lovers of this plebeian
bulb all cheer up temporarily. Unfor-
tunately, it has been false alarm thus

properties they are really surprising
Onion sandwiches eaten at night will
do much toward breaking up severe
cold and are also beneficial in cases OF
insomnia. Onion poultices, are one of
the home remedies for both tonsiiltls
and boils and cooked onions are re-
garded as invaluable blood purifiers.
Onion Sandwiches-The onion Is
also an important part in sandwiches
not intended for curative purposes.
combination Of ground raw beef and
minced onion is favorite with many
men and cayiare sandwich would be
dismal failure to most of us If the
finely chopped onion was omitted.
Onion Soup-Onion soup is popular
in high-class restaurants, but seldom
seen on the home table AS it is
economical. delicious and easily pre-
pared, it should be given speedy
trial. Chop onions very fine and fry
slowly in butter. Add home made
stock or canned consomme or boui!lon
and let simmer for a quarter of an
hour. Pour over small squares OF
toasted bread (croutons) and serve
with grated Parmesan or Swiss cheese.
This is very much more appetizing
than the onion soup made with milk.
Boiled Onions-Onions of every size
and variety can be boiled-after stand

TRACT WAS ONCE
WEBSTER'S LAND
Famous Orator at One Time
Owned Property Bought for
Sears Waterworks.

An interesting bit OF history comes
TO light with the transfer of the acre
Of ground in Rodman Heights addition
to the village of Sears by Louis Mo-
schneider, as a site for a waterworks
plant. II is found that the site named
was al one time owned by Daniel
Webster, the great orator and states
man.
The record of transfer shows that
on Feb. 13, 1857. Webster bought 500
acres of land at price of 100000 from
c. Turner and wife. Julia c.. of Coop
erstown. y. Y. and George Davenport
and wife Margaret of this city. II is
said Webster expected to establish a
town in this section. and selected the
place where the Mississippi and Rock
rivers meet. as an ideal spot for his
project. The land purchased was
part of what was then known as Rock
Island city and later called Webster's
Paper city. The tract he bought eN-
tended from what was known as Wa
ter street north to Thirteenth street.
and from Cherry street east to Di-
vision. Cherry street was an extension
of what is now Seventeenth street.
Webster proved that he was poor
business MAJ. for on Nov. %, 1919,
the tract in question was sold TO Caleb
Cushing, Newburg, Mass, for 100000.
