THE OYSTER.

Huxley's definition of the oyster is
"a delicious flash of gustatory light.
ming" He, with nearly all lovers OF
the bivalve, will admit there is no
cooking which improves it. 1t is at its
best in it's own liquor, fresh on the
shell.
For stew, the oysters should be
carefully handled, to remove all bits
of shell or a pearl, perhaps, then
washed and scalded in their own
liquor until the ruffes curl. Have the
milk hot, add the seasonings to the
oysters, and pour over the hot milk;
rebeat and serve at once. To have
a good stew one must have good rich
milk and be lavish with the butter.
Oyster kabobs.-Put into a stew
pan small chopped onion, add ia.
blespoonful of butter, and cook the
onion until it Is yellow; add a table
spoonful of flour, few chopped mush-
rooms, a teaspoonful Of chopped pars-
ley and enough of egg yolk to make
the mixture stick to the oysters when
rolled in it. Put half dozen oysters
on skewer, then dip the skewer into
bread crumbs and egg until we'll COW
cred. Then fry in deep fat Serve
skewer to person.
Pigs in Dlankets.-This is not new
way of serving oysters, but it is one
which is well liked. Wipe good sized
oysters, season and wrap with a thin
slice Of bacon, skewer with tooth
pick and bake in hot oven until the
bacon is crisp.
Oysters BoiIed.-Throw the oysters
in the shells into boiling water and
let them boil for five minutes, then
take up carefully and serve with melt
ed butter.
Oyster Rarebit.-Break into small
pieces a half pound Of rich cheese,
put into a sauce pan with a table
spoonful of melted butter and set on
the back part of the range and slowly
melt. Cook pint of oysters until
plump, then drain and keep them hot.
Beat the yolks of two eggs, add the
oyster liquor and the oysters, and
stir in the melted cheese. Serve on
the untoasted side of a piece of
Drowned toast.
ANY cooked oysters, wheher escal-
Hoped, stewed or otherwise cooked,
will make a good salad when chopped
and mixed with vegetables of various
kinds. When cooking oysters escal-
Hoped, it is well to remember that
more than two layers of oysters will
never cook well, the inner layer being
undercooked.

.FIREMEN LAUGHED
At COLLEGE CHAP
FOR HIS ORDER
But He Changed Tune When He Show
ed Them to Stoke Correctly Orders
Engines to QUIT Smoking

ed Them to Stoke Correctly --0rders
Engines to QUIT Smoking
Omaha, Neb, Feb. 26-Operating Of
ficials of the Great Western railroad
have ordered all of It's engines to
quit smoking, and the order is being
generally obeyed.
When the eastern heads of the
road sent a spruce-looking young
college graduate, W. M. Mitchell,
with instructions to the engineers
and fremen to permit him to show
them how to fire their engines, a
guffaw went up from one end of the
line to the other.
Mr.. Mitchell's first suggestion was
that the engines be fired so that the
volume of smoke would be almost
negligible. The suggestion was rude
ly received. The firemen had been
tossing coal for years, and where
there was fire there was bound to
be smoke. Mr.. Mitchell answer ed
that the smoke generated from the
fire box was a wet blanket on steam
producing heat Then he showed
them how to do the trick Now every
employe is supplied with post cards
on which to report full particulars
whenever he sees an engine smoking
Mr. Mitchell's first appearance was
a few weeks ago, when he climbed
on freight engine with a big bunch
of blue prints in his hands. AS they
neared the first big hill he asked the
fireman how he fired to get over the
hill. The fireman said he just loaded
up the firebox and let it go at thai.
Sometimes the train did not get over
the hill on the first try, but usually
l. did.
you are doing that wrong" said
the inspector You cant get steam
out of smoke If you shovel your
coal in right you can get rid of the
smoke, and you won't have to use
any more steam on the hill than on
the level"
The engineer and fireman, both
yeterans, exchanged winks and gave
it as their opinion that if the firebox
were not filled before the heavy
grade was encountered and more coal
thrown in going up the train would
be stalled. Mitchell took the coal
scoop in hand and shoyelled in about
half the normal supply used on the
hill and the train went up with 10
apparent effort.
After that every fireman wanted to
be shown the trick, and as that was
What Mitchell was hired for he
showed them. He also convinced the
4
old-time railroad men at the head o.
the operating department that black
smoke from an engine stack was a
sign of bad firing and now the man
guilty of it gets demerit marks that
obstruct his way up to the engineers
side of the cab.

Some Stylish
Chickens In
This Locality

Some chicken is that owned by
John Schweinfurter! One day last
week this knowing fowl wandered in
to the sitting room of the Schwein-
furter home, found a doily-covered
table which exactly suited her arts
tic temperament, and proceeded to
make nest of the dolly wherein she
deposited that priceless gem, an egg.
So far so good, but it was just
about now that Mrs. Hens troubles
began. Having completed her morn
ing's work she felt a desire to return
to the yard from whence she came.
But instead of finding the open door
by which she entered she discovered
what she thought was another exit.
However, just as she was about to
step through, another hen appeared
just where she wanted to step and
things began to happen.
The funny thing about it was that
try as she would, the hen couldn't
quite reach the intruder, and she made
such a fuss about it that Mrs
Schweinfurter heard the racket and
came to investigate. What she found
was one fussy, busy hen clucking and
scratching at her reflection in dres-
ser mirrow. But, there was the egg
too.

A nice little joker, quietly slipped

no excuse for its existence, and with
out doubt the next session of the legis-

1t is probable that the local incor-

discuss the advisability of proceed

seems to be great deal of doubt
whether it is worth while to proceed
under the handicap of the present

everywhere in the State have proven
of immense benefit to the towns where

a law of this kind was allowed to

One of the best results of the re-
modelling of this building is the re-
moval of the flight of steps leading
to the entrance. This will obviously
stop the use Of this corner as loaf
ing place which has been highly OBJ
jectionable in the past, especially to

greatly annoyed by this unpleasant

Redwood Team IS
Victor in Debate
With New Ulm
Question of Recall of Judges Well
Handled By High School Students
Friday Evening
MADISON WINS SATURDAY
Second Team Up Against Stonewall;
Madis0n's Experience Wins
Complete Victory

The debate held last Friday night
between the Redwood Falls High
School and the New Ulm High School,
resulted in unanimous verdict for
the home team composed of Ethel
Werder, Anna Rain and Harold Kumm
who upheld the affirmative of the
question, Resolved that all judges
should be subject to Recall, consti-
tutionalitiy granted"
The New Ullm debaters arguing
for the Negative were Beatta Krook,
John Woebke and Elizabeth Dougher,
whose well planned and neatly exc
cuted arguments deserve much praise.
The debate was held in the Metho-
dist Church with Principal H. L. Jor-
dan presiding. The High School
Chorus sang "Voice of the Western
Wind,' and the Girls Quartet also
rendered pleasing selection. A very
appreciative audience listened atten-
lively to the arguments for and
against the Recall of judges.
Excellent Rebuttal
Up to the rebuttal the debate was
very close, but the Redwood Falls
debaters in their rebuttal made fear
full inroads on the Negatives line
of defense. By the time the last re-
buttal was given by the Affirmative
the audience was positive Of the re-
suit.
After a violin solo by Miss Whit
more, the decision of the judges was
announced, unanimously in favor of
Redwood Falls. The judges were:
Pres. C. H. Cooper and Prof. J. M.
Mcconnell of the Mankato Normal
School, and Prof. Frank Rarig of the
State University.
One of A Series U
! This debate was held as one of the
State Debating League series, and the
winning of it gives to Redwood Falls,
the championship of the Second Con-
gressional District. The local de-
baters will meet the champions of
some nearby district in the near
future, and it is hoped they will con-
tinue as they have begun.
Interscholastic debating is new
departure in the High School, and
one which deserves encouragement.
That these young people have done
remarkably will is evidenced by Prof.
tRarig's testimony that this was one
Of the best High School debates he
had ever heard.
| Debate at Madison
Another debate team composed of
Viola Gaffney, Wilma Ashford and
Neil Stevens, went to Madison Satur-
day, accompanied by Superintendent
and Mrs. Street and Mr.. Jordan. They
upheld the affirmative side of the
same question in an Independent de-
bate with the Madison High School
team composed of three experienced
hoy debaters. Although the home
team put up good debate and meas
ured well up to the Madison team in
argument, the finished delivery, read
mess of speech, and ease On the plat
form of the Madison debaters, made
defeat inevitable. This team was
much stronger than the New Ulm
team, but after years practice, the
Redwood Falls High School hopes to
be able to defeat Madison in debate
as they did in football last Fall. The
visitors were royalty entertained by
the Madison people and feel that they
