Science and Corn Meal

The United States department of agriculture has issued, in it's farmers series bulletin oh Corn Meal Food and Ways of Using It.. Among the features of the bulletin is recipe for the kind of nush nasty pudding mother used to make. But it seems that there iconoclasts in the agricultural department, well as in the mod universities. 1t appears from the official drec tions for making nasty pudding. that many of the precautions used by the old time housewife wcrr needless.
 For instance, it is stated that it is not neces- sary to add the meal gradually to boiling water ill order to prevent the mush from becoming lump or from sticking to the dish Nor is, it matter of recent discovery that corn-mesl nush is palatable when eaten with maple syrup, molasses or other syrup with honey and butter. At the time the department will accomplish much good if it's bulletin shall two mush kettles to boil where but boiled before; for meal has not lost it's Nulue article of food.

WOLVES LIKE TO SCARE MEN

The danger to man from the timber wolves that make Algonquin park their winter hunting ground is great. Since the Canadian gov crnment made the great forest territory reservit- ton, man has been attacked; but very likely that is because other food is plentiful. The wolves however. have again and again shown that they enjoy frightening
 On one of the long trips with the rangers We had taken with the superintendents sledge team of great Danes. As lay in a shelter house one night the hows of the wolves made sleep impossible. and when hitchcd up in the early morning light they were so close that we could hardly control the dogs.
 When started. the pack collected just over ridge, and kept pace with through the trees not two hundred yards away After travelling some time in this there unaccountable silence and few minutes later the howls broke out half mile away. Again there was only the sound of the harness bells and the crunch of the snowshoes r
 Of sudden the howls came again with re- newcd vigor and this time they were making straight at full speed In few seconds they were just beyond, the ridge. and still coming furiousy. The dogs tugged madly to be free, for they had learned to hate the wolf as ercely as the ranger does.
 Obviously. it was wise prepared. Three of stood with rifles ready, and the driver loosed the dogs from the traces, and held them in hand Thus faced the oncoming animals.
 The hideous bowling through the trees, and climbed the ridge at undiminished speed and just we were sighting for shot, sudden ly ceased For three uncomfortable minutes there was dead silence for the controlled whining or the straining dogs. Then the clamor broke loose again-but at our backs The wolves had come al- most within sight in front, and had then passed silently round to give another scare from the rear Three times that morning they repeated the perfofmance Their hows sounded to like de risve laughter
 At place crossed their trail. and could see only wolf track But the rangers read more and few yards beyond saw the track divide into eight or ten The pack had stepped ac- curately in the track of the leader that novice would think that only one wolf had passed.-W. Lacey Amy in Outing.

The Next Contest

While the primary resulted in the elimination of excellent men candidates for membership of the city commission, it has left plenty of good material still to choose from The splendid sup port given the Good Government League ticket re- sutng in the nomination of three of it's four can didates. leaves doubt of the wish of the major
 y that the city be put into good hands. and added support may be counted upon at the general cleo ton The discrimination will. doubt make a wise selection of from among the other five remaining candidates in the field.
 The primary has left matters in very good shape Much of the brush has been cut away. and voters can see clearly what they doing and they easily discern the motives and influences behind all the candidates.
 It was not so easy do this in the primary campaign. The situation was obscured in many ways Why this that had been put for ward not clear. Some of the candidates were of than average popularity but what their special qualifications for election not understood.
 But why the Good Government League ticket in the field well understood The voters who supported these candidates knew why they were doing so. There was definite crystalza- tion of sentiment in their behalf because they widely known to be honest and capable men, hampered by any influence. That sentiment will naturally increase in volume and soiidits at the general election month when the final choice must be made
 At that election the contending forces will be working in the open as the Good Government League in the. primary campaign It will then be known who are behind all the candidates and why The Republican will continue it's earnest support of the Good Government candidates who have been qualified by the primary and will give careful con sderaion to the merits of the other candidates who have passed the primary

Need of More Polling Places

If one thing was made palmer than another the primary election on Wednesday. it is that Phoenix needs polling places. Thirteen hun dred votes are many to be at voting place There is the ever present danger that some voters may be barred from voting for want of time The danger met in the First and Second wards on Wednesday by duplicating the machinery at the polls and the forming two lines of voters after it had become evident that there would not be time to receive the whole But that arrangement attended by much confusion.
 It is almost much expect voters to go mile and a half miles vote many of the residents of the First ward were obliged do That they did so credtable to their citi- zcnship than to the city for making arrangements for their accommodation.
 The four voting places fixed at time when the of the corporation was less than one fourth as large as it is and when the heaviest vote in the largest ward seldom exceeded Beside the extension of the area, now have the addition of the vote. If there other reason, there should be more convenient ar rangement the voting places for the women. They have proved their earnestness and good citi zenship the polls. They should not be com pclled to go so far to to stand long in line to exercise the privilege of voting r.
 The counting of the vote, too. is Unnecessarily tedious. It nearly o'clock yesterday morn ing before the count completed in the First and Second wards. The polling places should be distributed through the city with view to the convenience of voters that not more than 600 should be required go any voting place
 The city charter permits the commission to establish many polling places may be advis- able It is true that have commission yet, and doubt has been expressed as to the
 
 mated number of polling places: But the new char ter already in effect, and whatever the council has far done in the matter of the primary or may do in the matter of the general election has been done ne done in accordance with the provisions of the charter.
