W charmed with her and heart
lily approve of her work She is pre-
senting the art Of cookery in the most
attractive manner and hundreds OF
women are attending and are delight
ed with the school. The hall is well
filed this afternoon and many other
women are preparing to attend with
their husbands and sweethearts, the
special session tonight at 1880 at which
Miss Peet will bake and serve hot bis
cults and will also serve ice cream and
cake The ice cream IS to be baked in
a hot oven, but she promises that It
will not be melted. She says that ice
cream heated and at the same time
frozen seems rather paradoxical. but
she is going to prove that she can do
this very thing and promises that all
who taste IT will thoroughly enjoy IT.
Miss Peet has already given many
helpful and workable hints in regard
TO household management and prac-
teal economy. and the women attend
ing her class say they are the kind of
suggestions that really help and can
be put TO immediate use IN their own
homes. All are delighted with Miss
Poets recipes. Experienced cooks look
ing over the recipe leaf1et which is pre-
scented to every woman as she enters
Masonic hall. say at once these are
good recipes and they can hardly wait
20 get home to try some Of them. Miss
Peet is furnishing other recipes to be
published each day in the columns OF
The Argus. Today there is a particu-
larry attractive one for Banbury tarts.
Suggests Many New Dishes.
Women who fad the task OF plan
ming and preparing three meals a day
an arduous one viii get much assist
ance from Miss Peet in this direction.
She suggests many new dishes and
some new ways OF preparing old favor
ties. Some OF the dishes that women
would like 10 give to their families but
refrain because they consider them in
digestible. Miss Peet explains. can be
prepared in a thoroughly wholesome
manner. One of these is doughnuts.
She taught the ladies who attended her
school Monday just how to make the
most delicious doughnuts they had
ever eaten and they found them also
wholesome and greaseiess and alto
gether desirable.
Miss Peet says learning to cook by
experience is like learning to skate by
correspondence, and yet she recon-
mends that all young women learn this
art in this way. That is. she says
learn by the experience OF others. She
herself has made many mistakes and Is
now giving TO others what she learned
by making them, and says II they will
follow her advice they will be saved /
the trouble and experience of making /
these same errors.

New Directory Out.-Fresh from its

| City and Scott County Directory for
1914 is not only good to look at, but
is fairly bullying with Informative mat
ter about the city. 1t enrolls 30,754
names. enlisted by the duplicate sys-
tenn of house-to-house and office, store
and factory canvass, so that names are
taken in duplicate. The directory peo-
pie multiply the total number of indi-
vidual names by ?, which represents
the women and children not included
in the canvass, to find out the popula-
ton of city. The territory covered
by the directory is thus determined to
have population of 61,50S. This in
cludes the populous territory adjacent
to and outside of the city limits, such
as Bettendorf, Rockingham, etc.

Intensive Farming.

One of the crying necessities of this country
is the wholesome stimulation of agriculture.
Someone has plausibly said that have here
enough land, and good enough land, to sup
port the whole world Yet it scarcely sup
ports us. We have barely scratched the sur
face of agricultural possibilities. Nothing
like the careful intensive farming prdctced In
France, not to speak Of China, Is known here.
Some day shall have to learn the art, and
learn it in a hurry The economists tell us
that high prices prevail everywhere. and every

Ilsfer's E1ind.

Money Is not so easy to raise in England as
ii in this part of the world. Whether the
reason is. that there the government Is in
the habit Of making grants for things which
would be done by subscription here, is diff
cult to say But, for whatever reason, IT is GER
tain that money, by subscription. harder
in the United Kndgom than it does In the
United States With this in mind what does
the report mean that Ulster has raised a fund
of 900, 900 pounds sterling. with which to in
demnify the relatives of those who may fall
or the who may be wounded in the Ulster
cause. If Ulster takes on the forces of the en-
pire 1t may be that the state of mind of GER
tain Unionsts is such that they think that the
sum in question has been raised. when nothing
of this sort has been DONE On the other hand
IL may be that the state of mind of these same
Jrnionists is such that they have really raised
the 900, 900 pounds. II this latter supposition
is true there would seem to be little hope that
peace will finally triumph in the matler.--Boston

Pincushions

One of the things about man that woman
does not know Is the quiet internal amusement
he gets out of pincushions. He seldom says
anything in this connection that would give her
a clue he seldom arouses her suspicion by
smiling when conversation in the home for
any reason touches upon the pincushion But
ne never sets sight on the dresser pincushion,
In the morning evening OF the working day,
or at any time on Sunday, without thinking
pleasantly of what he regards as a predominant
feminine idiosyncrasy, and he invariably ex-
tracts enjoyment from the thought Two men,
In confidential talk about domestic affairs fire.
quently dwell for a period upon the pincushion,
and between themselves the exchange of ex-
perience relating threto Is never failing source
of innocent mirth.
In the holiday season, II gifts are being ex-
changed. beautiful Iace-covered pincushions are
certain to be received and certain to be dis
played where the man of the house may sec
them. Then. and at all other times when any
thing new in the pincushion line finds Its way
to a dresser to which he has access. he feels
and acts one who is really getting great
deal out of existence than he Is willing
to admit. And it is on such occasions that his
seh-contro Is tested. He is tempted to tell
others why he Is internally merry He Is
tempted even to tell his wife. To yield, of
course. would be TO spoil everything.
Among men there is current legend to the
effect that once man who for years had en-
joyed plncushions felt that he could longer
keep his satisfaction to himself. He thought
about the matter until he convinced himself
that he owed 1t to his wife as duty to tell
her Of his secret joy and to reveal the secret
of 1t. AS the legend runs he took her into his
confidence That very evening for the first
time In all his married life, he found pins In
the pincushion; the charm was broken and ne
seldom smiled again.
1t Is possible of course. that some men have
actually gone far to ask their wives tim
idly what pincushions are for. but 1t may be
taken for granted that the great majority of
men carry pins home from the office stuck in
the inside of their waistcoats coats and
not only perfectly content to find in their homes
pincushons that used to hold pins
but get SO much enjoyment from the experience
that they would not have 1t hangedChristian

CURRENT COMMENT
Worse Than a Joke.

up to the time when congress adjourned for
the holiday recess" says The New York World
1T enough to loud laughter the
Republican side for anyone to rise in his place
and ask of the whereabouts of the low
tariff law in relation to the high cost OF Nv
ing" and 1t continues:
That act went into effect for IT'S main pro-
visions early in October and 1t placed meats
potatoes and other important foodstuffs the
free list. The October figures showed increases
In importations all along this line. The Mo-
vemher figures now at hand show imports
Of fresh beef practically double those Of Octo-
Der. Nearly three times as many cattle were
imported in the month of 1912 Potatoes
and breadstuffs also entered in largely Increased
volume. 1t viii presumably be admitted ION
the Republican side" that these increased inn
portations Of food products are due to the re-
moval of import duties. 1t must likewise be
admitted that the home supply of food products
has thereby been made larger than II other
wise would have been with demand remaining
the same. If the Republican side can still
laugh loudly at the notion that increased sup
ply under such conditions has effect upon
prices. 1t would not be the first time that side
has treated fundamental economic laws as a
joke
AS a political proposition, the tariff law
has shown itself certainly to be no joke. The
foodstuffs coming In increasing volume from
abroad because Of the lower duties on imports
but as domestic question, far the "ul-
innate consumer" is concerned, there IS some
thing about ii much more than a Joke. 1t Is
actually a matter of serious concern that what
ought to be is not. In short, though the supply
has Increased is there anyone who can report
q reduction in the cost of living, and If not,
why not? What. in other words, is the expla-
nation of the seeming defiance of the economic
law" of supply and demand? The tariff and
the currency bill and everything else that has
been done along right and scientific lines by the
Democratic administration haven't yet brought
any relief to the burdened consumer.--Charles-

FISH COMMISSIONS REPORT.
comfort.

Interesting for its rarity is the recommended
ton In the report made public yesterday of the
Virginia commission of fisheries that the annual
appropriation OF $4,000 from the legislature be
cut to $4,000. The commissioner appeared be-
fore the finance committee several weeks ago
to make this recommendation. the reasons there
for being given In the report just made public
by Governor Mann. Administrative conditions
the report says, such footing that small
or expenditure than usual will be required for
the next two years,
The report of the commission a whole Is
interesting az showing the healthy condition
Of the Virginia fish and oyster industries. The
oyster output was the largest In the history Of
the State and largely excelled that of any other
State. The value of the raw product is placed
at 100000. and after shucking and handling
at 100000. In fsh output Virginia also
celled any other State and the same story can
fish, oysters and crabs was valued at $l7,ooo,o0o.
a sum greater than the value of the hay and
wheat crops OF the State.
Figures given in the report must end the
cry that the Virginia oyster industry is in a
state of decline. They show the reverse and
they show that Virginia leads other States not
only In her oyster, but also in her fish and
crab production.
A pleasing feature of the report Is the an
nouneenlent that peace reigns and has reigned
for several years in the oyster territory" and
that little legislation is needed.
The report should be read carefully by those
and fish industry In Virginia is going to the
demnition how.wows. II they will read II they
will find that much of the clamor has been due
to ignorance.
