SELECTION OF HOMES. An important factor in the selection of homes is the financial one We
 do not consider it advisable to place a child in home where the first con tsideration would be the money re ceived for the board of a child. The amount we pay for board is not high lenough to induce many people to ac- cept children. We pay but two dol lars a week, with an allowance aof fifty cents a week for clothing, and fifty cents a week for tuition. If the child l is of school age two important fac tors to be considered are the nearness I of the school, and the character of 1 it. We avoid many towns where the
 schools are indifferent. or where these IAchildren would not be welcome. Chil- dren must be placed in families of the

RECIPES
That College Girls Are Taught
And Use

Girls who are learning at the State
College in Ames, a., how to prepare
well-balanced meals at moderate cost,
use these recipes, says the Country
Gentleman:
Tomato sauce--One can of toma-
toes, slice of onion, 21s tablespoon
fuls of flour, quarter teaspoonful of
salt, eighth teaspoonful of paprika.
Cook the onion and tomatoes Is min
utes. Rub through strainer, add to
flour with seasoning and cook togeth-
er. This sauce may be served on meat
or in separate bowl as gravy.
Stuffed potatoes-Two tablespoon
fuls of butter, quarter cupful of hot
milk, three-fourths teaspoonful of salt,
eighth teaspoonful of paprika, baked
potatoes. Select medium-sized pota-
toes and bake until soft, which will be
about 80 minutes. Remove them from
the oven and cut them in halves. Re
move the insides without breaking the
skins, mash, add butter, milk, salt and
paprika and refill the skins. Place in
hot oven until the potatoes are light
brown. The whites of two eggs or one
whole egg beaten well may be added
to the mixture, but this is not neces-
sary, especially when the potatoes are
served as an accompaniment to meat.
Parker House rolls-Two cupfuls of
scalded milk, one yeast cake, one half
cupful of lukewarm water, two table
spoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of
salt, one quarter cupful of butter,
-four. Make sponge Of the milk,
scalded and cooled, the yeast cake,
softened in lukewarm water and two
cupfuls of flour. Beat thoroughly, COW
er and set aside until light; then add
sugar, salt, melted butter and flour to
knead. Knead about 20 minutes, let
rise until double in bulk, then shape
into balls, cover closely, and when
right press the handle of a small wood
en- spoon across the center of each bis
cult without dividing it; brush the
edge of one half with butter, fold the
two halves and press together light
ly; place in buttered tins some dis
tance apart; cover and when light
bake from IL to 18 minutes.
This amount makes enough for eight
people, or can be served twice for four
people. The class always reheated

Bellew, the chauffeur, made con
fession of the part he had taken in
the conspiracy. Immediately after,
Mrs. Reuter- was arrested on charge
of first degree murder. The charge
against Bellew was dropped in con-
sideration of his turning States evil

tried, convicted and sentenced TO the

IRELAND
Paid Tribute TO Noted Poet
Today

Dublin, Jan. 10-In literary circles
throughout Ireland tribute was paid
today to the life and work of Sir
Aubery De We're, on the occasion of
the centennial anniversary of the
birth of the famous Irish poet. De
We're was born one hundred years ago
today at Curragh Chase, near Liner.
lex. His death occurred at the same
place on January 81, 1902.
In a period of unrest and endless
activity, De We're was content with a
life of simple harmony and the Joy
that his poetic genius brought to him.
For nearly the entire portion of his
eighty-two years he remained at the
family home, occupying the same
room, and reading and writing in his
fathers library.
He was poet by nature and by
temperament. His thoughts were
poems, and his dreams were poetic
fancies. Southey, who knew him well,
called him an "entire poet" and Car
dinal Newman said that in every ac-
tion of his mind he was a poet.
Through Tennyson, De We're met
Mary Anderson, the famous American
actress who became Nine. Navarro,
and they exchanged letters for sever
al years. They used to take long
walks together on Hampstead Heath
and talk about the people who had
made it almost sacred ground
The poet did not care much about
outward form. In this connection it
is recalled that he once drove with
Nine. Navarro in Rotten Row, and
while she was beautifully gowned and
the carriage was perfectly appointed,
he held over his head, to shade his
eyes, an umbrella like Mrs. Camps,
and it had a broken rib that added
to its disreputable look.

Second
RIfidl Of Mrs. Reuter- To OC-
cur In Oklahoma

Bartlesville, Okla, Jan. 10--A great
legal battle to save Mrs. Laura NJ.
Reuter- from Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life is scheduled to
begin here Monday, which is the day
set for the opening of the second trial
of the Tulsa woman on the charge of
having murdered her husband. The
1irst trial was held last October and
resulted in a verdict of guilty and o.
Bentence of life Imprisonment. Since
her conviction Mrs. Reuter- has been
at liberty on $4,000 bail. Judge r. c..
Allen of Muskogee County has been
named to preside at the second trial.
Few cases in the court records of
Oklahoma have attracted so much at
tention as the Reuter- case. Charles
T. Reuter-. the murdered man, was one
OF the leading attorneys of Tulsa.
Prior to coming to Oklahoma he had
resided in Peoria, Ill. On the morn
ing of May 5, 1912, he was found dead
in the bed room of his home, in the
fashionable residential section of
Tulsa. He was shot twice through
the head. Neighbors found Mrs.
Reuter-, who slept across the hall,
locked In her room. They had been
attracted by the shots and the screams
OF the woman. One hundred and fifty
dollars in cash and some valuable
jewelry which Mr.. Reuter- was known
TO wear were missing and the natural
Inference was the lawyer had been
killed by burglars.
But the burglary theory did not al
together satisfy the police and they
started investigation along different
lines. The result was the arrest of
Guy ID. Mackenzie, Grover Bellew, his
chauffeur, and Joe Baker. The three
were taken into custody on the theory
that Reuters murder was the result
OF a conspiracy, with robbery as a
blind TO conceal the real motive. The
police learned that Mackenzie oftened
visited the Reuter- home; that he had
taken Mrs. Reuter- on automobile rides
frequently; that he had received pres
snts from her; that he had helped
Mrs. Reuter- put her children to bed
when Mr.. Reuter- was absent; that he
stole Mr.. Reuters revolver from his
office desk and that Reuter- had
threatened to kill him IL did not stay

Washington, Jan. 10.-An early
agreement upon the terms of the set
tlement of the grievance Colombia has
had against the United States, as a
result of the independence of Pan
anna, is hoped for by the two govern
ments as the result Of discussions
now proceeding at Washington and
Bogota.
1t became known that the United
States has made reply to the first
proposition laid down by Colombia,
and the two governments now have
before them the task of effecting a
compromise agreement. There ia
much optimism in both capitals.
It is predicted that reaching an
agreement with Colombia as to the
amount of damages to be paid in com.
pensation for the loss of Panama
will be much easier than getting the
money from congress.
The discussions between the two
governments are being carried on
with the greatest secrecy. From re-
liable sources, however, 1t may be
asserted that the following PROPOSE
tons are those which Colombia sug-
gested as the basis for agreement:
The United States to make some
formal acknowledgment Of the claim
made by Colombia that wrong was
done that government by the United
States in its action during the revo-
luton in Panama, which resulted in
the independence Of that state and
the loss of Colombia's sovereignty
over the Panama canal territory.
Colombian shipping to be granted
the use of the Panama canal on equal
terms with the shipping of the Unit
ed States.
The boundary between Colombia
and Panama to be fixed as per the
line Of 1865 as a maximum conces-
sion to Panama, with the possibility
OF Colombia receiving some addition

Democratic speakers urging upon the
people the necessity for going to the
polls and voting to uphold President
Wilson and his peace policies for the
American people.
The one feature Of Chairman Rhea's
campaign which particularly stands out
in the political battle just won was in
his handling of the political situation
in the city of Louisville and the Fifth
Congressional district. Confronted
when he undertook to make the party
campaign with the fact that the head
of the ticket had lost Louisville in
the primary last August, and coming
out of that city in the election Of
Tuesday with over twelve thousand
majority for that nominee, Democratic
hats are off to their chairman. Fur
Their, he had to deal with the fact that
Louisville had had the habit for sew
eral years past of only weakly sup
porting Democratic candidates and
very often giving a majority against
them al the polls. Out of all of this
he brought a result that far sur
passed the expectations of those who
We're associated with him in the fight,
the largest Democratic majority the
Fifth district has given in over quar-
ter OF century.
The same clever methods that
brought this about in Louisville
served as we'll in pretty nearly every
section Of the state in the election
of Tuesday. Every Congressional dis
trict worked tremendously with the
State Chairman, and in every one Of
them the vote was nearly such as it
would have been with local races on
in the counties.
That the victory just achieved
paves the way for Democratic success
in the State election of next year is
the opinion of the party leaders and
every one conyersant with political
affairs in Kentucky. 1t demonstrates,
they say, that the party is harmonious
and united.

Gently, and shortly before this term
of court commenced, and the sympathy
and compassion which the public feels
towards the said Hutchcraft because
of said recent failure, intensified the
feeling of the public against this af-
fant as being the cause of the failure
of said bank and aforesaid Hutchcraft.
Affiant states that when the said
Hutchcraft made an assignment for
the benefit of his creditors, the Lex
ington Herald, a, newspaper of wide
circulation in Paris and Bourbon
County, stated in sustance that said
Hutchcraft's troubles were due to the
failure of said bank thus casting the
blame upon the afiant, and the affiant
states that the very recent and import
ant event, (the failure of said Hutch
craft occurring just before the be-
ginning of the present term of this
court, has aroused public sentiment
and public feeling to such an extent
that this affiant at the present term
of the court cannot get an UMPIRE
JUDGED trial because of the reports
and general belief that the failure Of
the bank caused the said Hutchcraft
to make said assignment.
Affiant states that until the wide
spread sympathy for said Hutchcraft,
so recently aroused by his assign
ment, made right upon the beginning
of this court, has time to subside, this
affiant cannot obtain an nnprejudic-
ed or fair trial.
Affiant states that he is not making
affidavit for the purpose of delay. but
in order that he may get fair and
impartial trial.
