MAKING BATTERs AND D0UGHS
Comparatively Simple Proceeding II
the Cook VIII Remember to Fol-
low These Directions.

The woman who cooks by recipe mas
not mastered the principles of her art,
any more than the boy has mastered
geometry who is not able to CONSTRUCT
triangle on a given line without re-
ferring to his textbook, Gays the
Youths Companion.
The principles that underlle the
making of batters and coughs are SIM
pie and interesting, and cooking De-
comes delight when you apply them
in devising new dishes and new com
binations.
The four essentials In all such mix
lures are flour, wetting, salt, ana
leaven. The four must always De IN
definite proportions, but the non-es-
sentials. namely, sugar. shortening
spice, fruit and f1avoring, may vary
according to individual taste. In
these non-essentials lies the scope for
individuality in cooking.
The proportions of the essential
ingredients should be committed to
memory, and adhered to rather strict
ly. The wetting may be milk, water
or beaten eggs, or OF all tnFee- for
a thin batter you must have equal
parts of flour and wetting-a cup
full of -four to a cupful of wetting;
for a thick batter, twice as much
-four as wetting; for soft dough,
three times as much flour as wetting;
for a stiff dough four times as much
flour as wetting.
Now for the proportions of the dry
ingredients: One cupful of flour calls
for one-quarter of a teaspoontul
of salt; one cupful of -four calls for
two level teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der.
Lastly, if you remember that one
cupful of -four will make four or
dinary-sized mullins, biscuits, gems, or
pancakes, you will see that you can
construct recipe to serve as many
or as few persons as you wish.

233 to 1856.

Washington, Sept. 28.-The house

was caused solely because of the
European war and the consequent fall
ing of in customs duties.

urae Amendment to Game Laws.

The deer counties of northern Wis
consin have joined in a united protest
against the hunting laws and petitions
are now being circulated calling upon
legislators from that district to pre-
sent amendments to the next legisla-
ture, according to R. w. REESE, Coude-
ray, Sawyer county.
1--WE want either all hunting prohib-
tied for a period of two or three
year at least, or all outside hunters
prohibited from hunting in the north
ern counties" he said. 1--WE believe
man should not be permitted to hunt
deer outside of his own county.
There are several reasons for THE
attitude. We are constantly endan-
gered in the north during the hunting
season by city people and amateur
hunters who are responsible for the in
Vulnerable hunting accidents.
ION the other hand, there are now
only about five counties in which deer
can be hunted. There the hunters
swarm and the deer, having been
harassed, are seeking shelter across
the line in Michigan. If it keeps up,
it will be but a few years before all the
deer will be driven out or killed on.
1.-THE deer season should also be cut
down and the penalties for violation
should be greater. have seen as many
as three half-picked skeletons left ly-
ing in the woods, where reckless hunt
ers, who, having shot more than the
laws permit and being unable to trans
port them, have left the carcasses to
lie. They shot the animals merely for
the sport Of shooting.
Price, Ashland, Oenida. Rusk and
Sawyer counties will all join in the
protest, and fully rs per cent of the
voters will sign the petitions.

Shines Brass.

When brass beds become furnished,
as they often do, you can lacquer them
and make them look like new. First
rub the brass vigorously with flannel
dipped in whiting, then get ten cents
worth of shellac; dissolve it in enough
alcohol to make it thin. Apply with
small brush. 1t can be done quickly
and the bed will look as pretty as If
sent to the factory and is much
cheaper.

Farm Crops of State Leaders.

Wisconsin farmers Should De SHINING
with happiness at the state of the agri-
cultural products of the Badger state,
as a scientific survey of the situation
made by the agricultural department
shows the state to be in extraordi-
narily good condition. In most in
stances the condition of the crop is
ahead of the average condition for the
entire country, although Wisconsin,
harvest is not predicted to be larger
than the harvest of 1913, in certain
cases.
Starting with the item of honey.
Wisconsin bees, up to September /,
had done better than the average
American bee by producing 45 pounds
of the sweet stuff to the colony, where
as the American bee averages trifle
over thirty-one and half pounds to
the colony.
Taking 100 as the representation of
an absolutely perfect corn crop, some
thing never accomplished in any state.
Wisconsin's cornfields are marked 81
by the government experts. This is
better than the previous ten years
average of Ill and better than the
average for Wisconsin corn for the
last few years, which is "a. The har-
vest of corn is estimated on Septem-
Der to be 62,S5O,OO0 for the state and
the price is given at II cents bushel
as against ~ cents in 1913.
Crop figures on wheat are lacking at
present, but the price is given at 81,
as against "a cents in 1913, and fore
cast for spring wheat gives the con-
dition of this crop at 81 as against "a
for 1913, but better than the rest of
the country, which has an average
spring wheat condition of IS.
Wisconsin oats do not show as adj
vanced in condition as some of the
other state crops, as SO is the best it
can be marked, whereas the ten-year
average for oats has been "a, and the
United States average is better than
Wisconsin's by nearly ten points. The
yield is estimated at 1882, 900 bushels,
100000 less than 1913.
Wisconsin's potatoes this year will
stack up about 34,474,000 bushels and
are rated as having a condition of "a,
which is four points better than the
ten years average and nearly ten
points ahead of the rest of the coun-
try, taking it as an average. The croL
is 100000 above the five-year aver
age, which may account for the fact
that the price of 81 cents a bushel is
eight cents under the average for the
last five years.
Hay is in good shape in Wisconsin.
The crop of 4,363,000 tons is said to be
in practically perfect condition. The
price is given at $40 while the five
year average was $12.84 in Wisconsin.
Apples will reach 100000 bushels
in Wisconsin, the department esti-
mates. This does not come near the
bumper crop of 1913, with 100000
bushels. On prices received by farm
ers for various products Wisconsin is
ahead of the average American price.
For instance, Wisconsin farmers aver
aged $3.50 on hogs September 1, while
the average price was SSH.
On beef cattle only did Wisconsin
men fail to receive a price above
average, this figure being $6.40 as
against $617. Wisconsin mich COWS
brought $74.90 or $14 more than the
average and Wisconsin butter at 20
cents was five cents higher than the
average price received by farmers
over the country.

A BEAUTIFUL THEORY.

AS something good came out of NaZ-
areth. so something commendable has
come out Of socialism A socialist has
recommended a worldwide strike
against war by the people who are
made the targets for bullets in battle.
IF" says this socialist, the COM
mon people could be persuaded to re-
fuse TO go to war TO protect the dig
nifty of kings and courts. or to rob
some weaker nation of its territory. it
is certain that the horrible slaughter
of sons and brothers would cease"
And yet the success of such a
strike would depend upon its man
agement. Therein it would probably
fail. To stop war and conquest. re-
must be universal. Sporadic strikes
would simply visit afliction on the
we'll disposed. Each nation must have
assurance that when its people go on
strike against war some other nation
would not overrun it and take advan-
tage Of its peaceful disposition to de-
stroy its industries and check its pros
perity.
IN the last analysis war relates back
10 the competition of commerce and
industry The regulation and prOtec-
ton of these elements OF prosperity,
the conveniences of transportation. the
determinations of tariffs and inspec-
tions and the encroachments of rivalry
convert the competition from COM
mercial to military. and as long as
these conditions exist the people are
apt TO be as eager TO 90 TO war as
their rulers and leaders
Theoretically the idea of striking
against war is a beautiful one, and it
should be possible for the people Of all
nations 10 rise with one accord and
refuse 10 become targets for each
other. but il is not and we are very
much afraid il would not work out in
practice.

IN THE POLITICAL ARENA

| in any wholesale manner to the Amer
lean register. Nothing but bona fide
| ownership by American vessels with
out regard to the war conditions would
now permit the ships to enter the
American register and fly the Ameri-
can flag.
This is a serious stumbling block to
the proposed amendment to our ship
ping laws by which Americans hoped
that the way could be opened for pur-
chase by American capitalists Of I'M
limited foreign ships to carry pro-
ducts from the United States. This
cannot be done.
An effort will be made no doubt to
isolate Germany and to cut that ma
ton off from food supplies, notably
wheat. II will be impossible for Ger
many TO get Russian wheat. France
will send her none. England has no
wheat to sell and Germany's enemies
will object TO any ship flying the
American flag carrying wheat To Ger
man ports
The London declaration came before
the United States senate as a foreign
treaty and was approved by the SEN
ate. II was not. however, pTomul-
gated by the president Of the United
states. 1t came before the parliament
of Great Britain and was approved
by the commons and held up by the
lords. 1t has not been officially prom
ulgated by the United States or other
great powers.
Germany intends to tear up the
London declaration and all other in
ternatiOnal agreem ents as to neutral
ity. The present war was begun with
two violations Of the London declara-
ton. one when Germany invaded

UNITED STATES NEUTRALITY.

The proclamation OF neutrality is
sued by Pres Wilson clearly defines
the attitude the United States will
maintain toward the belligerent ma

tisan conduct on the part Of this
country and it's people
Circumstances made il important
that an early declaration Of its po-
sition be made by the United States.
All OF the countries involved in the
war now in progress have citizens and
sympathizers in the United States and
the large navies Of the cOmbatants
make it probable that operations Will
be carried on in the vicinity OF Amer
lean waters.
Ii was imperative that the citizens
OF foreign countries and their sympa
thizers now in the United States should
understand what their rights and linn
itations OF conduct are and that COM
manders of warships of foreign ma
tions involved should know what they
may expect If they enter American
harbOrs Precedent was followed as
far as circumstances would permit in
defining the attitude Of the United
States. In many respects the restric-
tions on aliens and foreign warships
are similar TO those prescribed by
Pres. Grant during the period of the

Foreign warships entering American
