the house. and to the lite of the outside

Browning always in her home
Then he describes the large drawing

were covered with tapestry and hung

out sadly from their curved frames of

of the black-framed saints was counter
acted by man. other things-by the fire

The presiding spirit of the place used
to sit in a low arm chair near the door,
small writing table covered with writ

on the sofa beside the fire.
Such a room from its description
might seem little too crowded The

The history of the housewives part in
housework would be very interesting if
it were properly written.
| In this country, when the settlers first
began to keep house, there We're few
servants, and the women perforce-most
of them-.'did their work. Their
daughters naturally learned to help them
to spin and dip candles, cook and sew
clean and wash clothes. They grew up
to think housework dignified calling. In
fact, they took it quite as matter Of
course. and probably gave little thought
to their plight They trained their daugh-
ters as they had been trained. There
were still few servants in the land: serv-
ants are always scarce in newly open
ed country. Men must marry for house
keepers then.
Then came the days Of prosperity and

Planked Shad.
Many persons suppose that no one but
a professional cook can prepare planked
fish. hut as a matter of fact it is not a
very difficult operation. Select a firm
good sized fish and cut off the head and
tail and detach the spinal bone. Season
inside and out with salt and pepper and
roll in flour. Now fry in frying pan
in butter or olive oil for five minutes.
The plank. which is preferable when
made of oak. should be well oiled with
olive oil. Place the fish on the PLANK
skin side down and bake in an over for
twenty minutes. Garnfsh the tsh win
lemon ard parsley and serve on the
plank.
How to Broil Shad.
The best way to prepare shad for
the table if YOU do not plank it is
to broil it 1t should be washed and
wiped dry seasoned inside and out with
salt and pepper and rubbed with little
flour. Then il should be put on the
broiler. which has been well creased. II
the shad is thick it will take probably
twenty minutes TO cook. 1t should be
turned often and for this reason it is
easier to broil it in the od-fashioned
way than in the modern gas broiler. as
it can be more easily turned from side
to side in the two-sided broiler than on
the gas broiler. For the cook who has to
use a gas range a good idea is to use
one of the old-fashioned broilers which
can be placed on the regular broiler. In
this way the fish can be handled more
easily and can be lifted to the platter
without danger of breaking.
Just before the shad is ready to serve
prepare the following sauce: Cream two
tablespoonfuls of butter and two tea
spoonfuIs of lemon juice. Add two tea
spoonfuls of minced parsley. Mix thor
oughly and when the fish has been laid
on the platter pour sauce over it and
serve.

Police to
Patrol Park

Considerable controversy was
aroused at the city council meeting
Tuesday night when it was suggested
that a special policeman should be
employed to patrol the park during
Chautauqua. Councilman Ashcraft
stated that the ladies are complain
ing that men go into the park and
stretch out full length on the benches
and go to sleep while women and chill
dren are unable to find seat. Mr..
Ashcraft suggested, with a bland
smile, that there should be more
seats or else a bunch of cots, or else
the sleepers should be compelled to
sit up or crawl off into the brush.
Mayor Johnson opined that there
should be a special officer to look
after the park Chautauqua week and
Councilman Ware made a motion to
that effect on the grounds that it
had been customary for years. Coun-
Gilman Beaver brought up that cur
rent argument that we already have
police aplenty and that they should
watch the depot district and the park
district also.
Mr.. Ware and Chief Porter both
spoke to the effect that three men
cannot possibly cover in an adequate
manner during the twenty-four hours
of each day the extended territory
which includes the Billings place on
the north, the Normal property on
the east, the railroad district and the
niles of Canyon park. The park must
necessarily be left out. 1t is a two
man job to patrol the business dis
trict by night and keep the thirty or
forty hoboes who arrive in the rail-
road district nightly on the move.
Ashland's freedom from robberies
at time when neighboring towns are
reporting almost nightly depredations
was cited as evidence that this city
has q police department to be proud OF
and one that should not be rendered
inefficient by multiplicity of duties.
AS an outcome OF the argument the
mayor was instructed by vote of the
council to appoint special park po-
lice for Chautauqua week-Council-
J man Beaver voting no.

The City
Market Problem

At the regular meeting of the coun-
Gil Tuesday evening the question of
city market arose. 1t was brought
to the notice of the council by the
reading of letter from James Fo.
zall of Talent, who inquired as to
the status of the Ashland market
proposition and made some sugges.
tions in regard to same. He de,
clared Ashland was the best town in
the Rogue River Valley and he want.
ed to market his produce here this
season.
Some time ago the City council pur.
chased a lot at an exceedingly low
figure for the city market. The lot
is located at the corner of First and
c streets. 1t is an exceptionally fine
lot and is near the heart of the city
The matter of erecting a market
pavilion on it came up at the meet
ing Tuesday evening and was argued
pro and con. The argument of "nC
funds" available was a strong one
made against it. However, it il
thought by many that the pavilion
may be erected. Mayor johnson
thinks there is lumber enough OF
the property to provide at least TWEEN
ty stalls, which he believes could b'
rented readily at three dollars {
month.
The city market problem is ont
which is vital to all, especially to the
farmers and growers in the surround
ing country. The subject will b,
taken up later
