WHEN FRUIT is PLENTIFUL
Two Delicious Connections, One for
Breakfast and One for After
Dinner Dessert.

Take three eggs, two tablespoonfuls
OF cream, two ounces OF sugar, one
ounce Of butter and six peaches Beat
up the white Of one and the yolks OF
three eggs with half Of the sugar and
the cream. Whisk up the other two
egg whites and beat lightly into the
mixture.
Then melt the butter in a small fry
ing pan and let 1t get very hot. Pour
In the beaten eggs and stir until all is
cooked, taking care that the mixture
does not become lumpy. Peel and
chop the peaches and dust with the
sugar. Put them in the middle Of the
omelette and fold over the sides.
For fruit bouillon take one quart Of
any small ripe fruit, which should be
put In a stewpan with about four cup
fuls OF cold water. Allow It to sim
mer till soft and then rub the fruit
through wire sieve and return the
Juice to the stewpan, and when boil
ing hot thicken with a tablespoonful
Of corn -four. After taking 1t from
the fire add glass OF sherry and

cups with a spoonful OF crushed Ice
and whipped cream.

opportunity and advanced on Namur,
Mulhausen, Colmar and the little strip
in Lorraine, which were not defended,
as it might be possible that the en-
thusiasm and popular clamor OF the
French would force an invasion Of
their lost provinces of Alsace-Lor-
raine. But 1t is highly improbable that
a determined advance in force will be
made ON this line even should popular
clamor demand it.
The German Plans.
Germany on the other hand has not
only France to attend to but Russia
as well. In considering her plans she
also must take into account Austria.
Should Russia be allowed to mobilize
fully and concentrate, 1t is probable
that she would be able to overwhelm
Austria, first attacking on the Lem
berg-Bucharest (Roumania) line. 1t
is probable that Germany is acting
with rapidity against Russia.
What press dispatches have drifted
through indicate that 10000 Germans
landed some three days ago Between
Hango and Helsingfors in Finland.
This force in all probability consisted
of one army corps and one cavalry d.
vision, some additional heavy artillery,
engineers and aeronautical troops.
From Warsaw to st. Petersburg
there are IL Russian corps, but as
these are not fully modified one Ger
man corps is probably as strong in
men as two Russian corps Just now.
The German corps which landed in
Finland and therefore behind st. Pc
tersburg is undoubtedly designed to
hold the four Russian corps in that
vicinity to keep them from going to
corps further to the south.
Again 1t was reported that the Rus
sian government has decided to evacu-
ate Warsaw, which was officially de-
MED at st. Petersburg. Weighing this
evidence, 1t seems probable that
there has been a German advance from
Intersburg in the direction of wilma
to hold the four Russian corps sta
toned in that district from doing any
harm or going to any other place.
Possibly three German corps, whose
! stations are close to Wilma, are en-
gagged in that operation.
If the vigorous fighting Of these four
German corps, the one in Finland and
the three against Wilma, is strong
enough, eight Russian corps might
probably be isolated and fully occu
pied with their own affairs and moi
able to move or concentrate anywhere
else.
Austrlans Invade Russia.
It is reported that 10000 Austrians
had been assembled in Galicia and thai

The decision of the superior court
IF Oklahoma county in holding that
Bob Parman, republican, was elected
county clerk OF Oklahoma county in
the November election of 1912, was
affirmed, in an opinion by the supreme

given certificate of election and has
been performing the duties of the Of

StrategicaI Problems Of Warning
Nations Are Now BeC0m-
ing Apparent.
KEEL CANAL is BIG FACTOR
Capture Of Waterway by Enemies Of
Germany Might Prove Turning
Point of War-lmportanc
Of Paris and Berlin.

Notwithstanding the meagerneBs Of
details from Europe, the strategical
problems for Germany and France
have become more apparent during
the last few days.
France must protect her frontier
against German invasion and at the
same time she must proceed as fast
as possible towards the Kiel canal.
That canal is apt to prove the turn
ing point in the war If the triple en-
tente gets control Of It, according to a
military expert writing for the Chica-
go Tribune.
Germany, on the other hand, must
protect her French border and the
Kiel canal and drive her forces into
Russia as fast as possible.
The question now presented to Ger
many and France is where to attack.
The capture of Paris alone at pres
ent probably would not bring about a
cessation Of combat on the part of the
French. as the sinews of war have
been we'll provided further to the
south.
Berlin is not Germany even to any
where nearly as great all extent as
Paris is France. The straight line dis
tance from Namur 1.-THE fortress before
which the Germans have established
touch with their French antagonists)
to Paris is $50 miles; to Berlin, 40C
miles; to the Kiel canal, 300 miles
The distance from Mulhausen to Der
lin is about 400 miles; to the Kiel ca
nal, 800 miles.
But the distance from Paris to Null
hansen is about $50 miles, and from
Namur to Mulhausen is 220 miles, anC
almost straight south by east Of 1t
therefore away from Paris. While {

sPIcED HAM TO SERVE COLD
Especially Good for Luneheons, Teas,
or suppers During the Hot
Months OF Summer.

A recipe used in southern family
for many years is as follows: Select
ham weighing from to 8 pounds,
and soak In cold water from IL to "a
hours. The butcher will probably be
the best judge as to the length OF time,
because some hams are made much
saltier in the curing than others. He
will know by experience in buying
from different curers. When ready to
cook scrape the outside, scrub with a
clean brush and rinse. There must be
nothing left upon the meat, the odor
of which must be absorbed in cooking.
Put into ham boiler or large ket-
tie, cover with cold water and place
over the fire.
When 1t begins to boil add IL cloves,
one bay leaf, 12 pepper corns, two
blades OF mace, one carrot, one tur-
nip and one quart Of cider. Take on
the scum as 1t arises, and when the
pot bolls push 1t back where 1t Will
only simmer. Otherwise the ham will
be hard instead of being juicy and
IohuoT. ADOuL 90 ulluul6b " I1e pOuhO'
should be allowed. When cooked let
the ham remain In the water until
1ukewarm, and In the meantime pre-
pare mixture of one cup Of rolled
bread crumbs, teaspoonful Of dry
mustard, two teaspoonfuls Of brown
sugar, one beaten egg. and enough
cider to make a paste. Remove the
skin from the ham and spread with
the mixture. Dot with cloves and
bake in the oven until a rich brown.
This is delicious cold for luncheons,
teas or suppers.
II served hot a sauce accompanies
1t, made as follows:
Put In a small saucepan level tea
spoonful each OF flour and butter.
When It is melted add cupful OF the
stock the ham was boiled in. Cook
this for 10 minutes; then pour in a
cupful Of cider. Stir we'll, bring to a
boil, strain, and serve.

$4,000 of these we're cavalry. This
means that the three Austrian corps
stationed in Galicia, or little less
than 10000 combatants, with nine d.
visions Of cavalry, about $4,000, have
gone into Russia, but just where is
left to the imagination.
Six corps, three German and three
Austrian, and from $4,000 to 10000
cavalry are probably advancing to-
wards Brest-Litovosk. By the time
these arrive there 1t is difficult to see
how the Russians can have more than
three full corps and 10000 to 10000
cavalry. Austrian troops have ad-
vanced along the eastern frontier that
is just north of Roumania.
1t seems probable that on the
French frontier at the present time
Germany has nine corps OF the active
army, assisted by one Austrian corps
on the German extreme left, near the
Swiss border. There probably are
nine more corps Of the first reserve
and nine more of the second reserve
also on the French frontier, which
with all their auxiliaries amount to
we'll over 100000 fighting men.
1t appears that II these million Ger.
mans care to remain on the defensive
on the French border 1t will take a
pretty goodly number of attackers to
get them out OF their intrenchments, II
they ever can do 1t. Providing Aus
,tria and Germany are directing their
main attack. against Russia, France to
reap any advantage must strike quick
ly and hard on line as short, in mil
itary way, as possible toward the Kiel
canal.

Good Rains Fall over State.

General rainfall, extending from the
Kansas line on the north, and extend
ing throughout Oklahoma, occurred
this week, according to messages and
reports received in Oklahoma City.
Rain commenced to fall in Okla
homa City Sunday night about 1890
o'clock and continued at intervals I'M
I'll morning. Precipitation was .3S
of an inch. All day Monday the skies
were overcast with clouds and from
many towns in the central and west
ern portions of Oklahoma came re-
ports that rain had fallen Monday.
Ben F. Hennessey, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, arrived in
Oklahoma City from the northern part
of the state and reports that the rain
fall was general throughout north
central Oklahoma and extended as far
north as Wichita, Kan.
Secretary Hennessey said that the
moisture, while coming too late to be
OF benefit to growing Indian corn, the
precipitation will benefit alfalfa seed
ed last spring, and also rejuyenate
the older fields of alfalfa, both Of
which had commenced to suffer for
want of moisture. Speaking of rain
having come too late to be of benefit
tc Indian corn, Secretary Hennessey
said that practically 80 per cent of
the Indian crop was matured and that
many portions of the state would pro-
duce good yields of corn during the
present year.
"Feterita has matured and is out of
the way, though kafir corn had begun
to show signs of suffering from the
summer heat the rains of Sunday
night and Monday assure the kafir
corn crop" said Secretary Hennessey.
Early blowing for winter wheat will
be given impetus by the rainfall. said
Secretary Hennessey, who predicted
that farmers in Oklahoma would seed
an unusually large acreage to wheat
for next season, encouraged by both
the enormous crop raised during the
past year. and in anticipation of al
unusual demand occasioned by the
wars in Europe, which may last fol
several years. Secretary Hennessey
, expressed the belief that in the event
the European wars continued for 6
period of five years Oklahoma wheat
would sell for from 1.50 to $500 pei
!. bushel.

kIel Canal Big Factor.
The Kiel canal Is the deciding fac
tor in the control of the sea. 1t is 300
miles from Namur. Many of Germany's
great supply points are in the interval
between. An advance on this line
would be near the sea, where England
could help with her ships. Once the
Kiel canal is captured humiliation of
the German fleet might result, which
would give command Of the Baltic sea
TO France and her allies and allow the
unrestricted transport of Russian
troops and material Of war to the
north German coast.
1t therefore would appear that the
strategy Of France will aim at the cap
ture of the Kiel canal because 1t is
the most important point strategically
which Germany possesses. BY this
line of action France would utilize to
the utmost Englands great sea power.
In addition, by direct invasion in
the direction of the Kiel canal France
would cover Paris and her communi-
cations better than by any other route.
An advance via Mulhausen and Stras-
burg would be extremely dangerous
and Just what the Germans would like
TO see France do. Hence we see why

Start a Pigeon Farm,

Members of the Oklahoma City
SQUAD association at a recent meeting
advanced plans for a pigeon farm to
be located close to the city. The
farm will be incorporated as soon as
arrangements can be completed I'M
der the name of the Copp Farm, the
name meaning the Cooperative Pig
con Farm. The incorporation will be
at $4,000 and the par value of shares
will be $500.
The temporary directors elected
were: G. F. Mauer, l.. l.. Klein, l.. G.
Vail, DR.. w. W. Selway and D. S.
Stone. The directors expect to have
the farm in operation in few
months-in time for the winter mar
kets. and will begin operations with
1000 pairs of mated Carneaux. The
farm and equipments will be owned
entirely by the corporation, and an
expert on pigeon breeding will be
hired to superintend the farm which
will be devoted exclusively to the
raising Of high class birds. 1t is de-
sired to make this an educational cen
ter in the pigeon industry where any
one interested can get information
on pigeon raising.
