1t has been well said that it was
not study of what the family want
ed to eat that was needed, but study
of what the family ought to eat and
how to get them to eat it. The latter
part of the problem might be easily
solved if the food were more attract
lively seasoned and served. To say to
people that they were eating too
much meat and then to serve in its
place an unsavory eoncoction, even
though it be equal to the meat in food
value, would not be convincing. It is
unreasonable for the housewife to
ask the family to accept as substi-
tute for a favorite dish one which is
not especially palatable, and it might
be added that the less the substitu-
ton is discussed the less likely are
there to be objections. Europeans
are much more familiar with cheeses
and their uses than Americans, and
many travellers find their prejudices
against cheese disappearing as they
taste the dishes prepared by foreign
cooks.
A French rarebit is a simple but
most acceptable substitute for meat
dish.
Cut large slices of bread, measure
8 tablespoons butter, 5 tablespoons
cheese, ~ cups milk, and ~ eggs.
Butter the slices of bread and cut
into inch squares. Fill a buttered
baking dish with alternate layers of
the bread and grated cheese. Moisten
thoroughly with a mixture made of
the milk and eggs, seasoned with the
salt, pepper and mustard. Bake in a
moderate oven until the.mixture sets,
like custard, and brown it on top.

In sixty-five years of married life
Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore futile of
Speonk, Long Island, have never had
a quarrel, they declare. This, to say
the least, is out of the ordinary, so
much so, in fact, that much news
paper space has been given to their
announcement This would indicate
that it was news-and good news
that is, something unusual, from
news standpoint,
And while it is good news in more
ways than one, on second thought,
such a state of affairs might strike
some married folk as a pretty tame
and dull existence. Think Of not hav-
ing one argument with wiley or hub
by in IS years-or even 65 days! Not
single argument on the equal suf-
frage question, on the price she pays
for her hats, or the money he expends
for smokes and things; or as to
whether ma-in-law shall come for a
visit; or if you'll get all dressed up on
Sunday to help entertain company;
or sit in your "nobody's business"
and slippers all day and rest!
'Twould seem as though, without
some difference of opinion on these
serious and important domestic ques-
tons, life would become rather hum
drum. For it is those things that
make him and her keenly alive to
mutual interests, likes and dislikes,
and, even if she does have the last
word, the quarrel makes both rea-
lie that each has a mind of their
own.

A DEMOCRATIC WAR SCARE.

WAR WITH MEXICO.

81
AS much as 1t is to be regretted
warlwith Mexico seems to be incviti-
able. Intact this country cannot do
otherwise than to enforce respect for
the flag no matter what the conse-
quences might be.
Huerta's refusal to salute the flag,
asreparation for an insult to our ma

brought a long continued policy of

may be saved from his enemy, Villa.

The shrewdness with which HUI

In this movement there seems to

in view. of taking the senatorial toga

In defense of our national honor.
The President will be supported
by United People In his movement
to teach the insulting Mexican ruler
a lesson he will not soon forget, and
no party lines will interfere with his
program.
As to the final outcome of the trou-
BILE there can be no serious doubt.
Mexico is not in any condition to
engage another nation in serious
warfare owing to the depleted condi-
tion of the resources of the country
following long series of rcvolu-
lions and internal warfare that has
Frustrated the country and almost
destroyed its position as nation,
But however weak Mexico may be it
will require many soldiers to occupy
the country and preserve peace.

THE BULL MOOSE SLUMP IN NEW
YORK.

According TO the tabulation made
by the Republican State Committee
the enrolment of the various politi-
cal parties. In this State stands us
follows: Democrats, G32, COG: Repub-
LEANS 522,150; Progrcssives. ILL.,
SS4; Prohihitionists, 1869; Social
ists,Q31,219: independence League,
b2,9S2; total, l,SS2,S6O. In view Of
Incorporating: campaign the story
told by these figures is significant.
In the first place the combined Re-
publican and Progressive enrolment
Is only 1.97S more than the Demo-
cratic enrolment. In the next place,
whereas Col. Roosevelt polled $780,
09S votes in 1912, the Progressive
enrolment has shrunk TOLL 1854, or
only 80 per cent. Of the Roosevelt
vote seventeen months ago. The
Wilson vote in 1912 was 655,57
and the Taft vote was 455,4S7, so
that the Democratic enrolment is
SO per cent. OF the Wilson vote and
the Republican enrolment lie per
cent. Of the Taft vote. But the conf
bined Republican and Progressive
enrolment is only 633,9S4, as COM
pared with the total OF S45,5S0 for
the combined Taft 'aFd1hR6og9fetti
votes In 1912.
Evidently there has been tr&
mendous sweep in Progressiyes bacls
into the Republican ranks. Avcry
large proportion, of the Roosevelt yots,
ers have enrolled as Republicans
Others, have not been willing to en-
roll us Progressivcs in opposition to
their old party and have refraincd
from enrolling with any party. Evil
IDENTIFY the party that Col. Roosevelt
called into existence has rapidly dis
integrated and only small portion
of It remains loyal to the third-term
organization he helped to create. I
The striking fact remains that
there are over 100000 voters who
are not enrolled. II they were to
swing in large part to either the
Democratic or Republican ticket

tor In the November election.-N.

HOME COMING PERIOD.

The Home Coming Period, q move
ment looking to the return to their ma
tive soil of many who left the fertile
fields of Western North Carolina for
the de1usive lure of easy wealth IN
other chimes was launched by the
Greater Western Carolina association
last July, when Henderson was n OF
the first counties t endorse the move
ment.
After careful consideration the work
vas dropped for want of time to Sc
cure reduced railroad passenger rates
and conduct such an advertising
campaign as was thought would be
necessary to make the undertaking a.
satisfactory success.
It was proposed to have an apppro-
pirate celebration in each county OF
the Greater Western Carolina associa-
ton, this festival to be held during the
fair in those counties holding such an
exhibition, and closing with q visit to-
the Western North Carolina fair at
Ashevil1e.
The Importance of such q movement
IN readily seen since 1t would doubt
less be the means of bringing hun
dreds of people to this section after an
absence of years in other sections,
where they went in quest of more
profitable labors.
This movement affords an unusual
opportunity to all sections of Western
| North Carolina to invite the return OF
hundreds of "prodfgar' ones who for
sock this section in search of richer
fields. Many of them could doubtless
be induced to- remain here after once
! beholding the remarkable progress
that has marked this section during
tho past few years. Exceptional oppor-
trnities are to be found throughout
this mountain country, and if it be a
profitable field for strangers why can
it not be made SO for those who by
nativity and experience are familiar
with local conditions?
We understand that the Asheville
Merchants association has revived
this question and why would it not be
we'll for the Greater Western Carolina
association, with the cooperation of
the various counties, to take up this
important work without delay and
thereby make unnecessary the sicken-
ing cry of too late, too later"

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS.
(COntPfbHted.)
THE PRESIDENT AND LOCAL
MATTERS.

President Wilson is evidently a nan
of parts and action, 10. He rules the
White House, bosses Congress and is
undertaking to direct the affairs OF
the Democracy in the various states.
The President appears to be very soil
c:tous for the party in Indiana and
North Carolina and expresses sur
prise that neither of these states has
q legalized primary law. If the pri-
mary plan had been adopted in all the
states of the Union, in the nomination
OF a candidate for tie presidency W
years ago., Governor Wilson might
have been left out in the cold. Speak
er Clark came out away ahead Of the
game in nearly all the states which
employed the preferential primary
pan in a~seertaining the choice of the
people in the matter of a presidential
candidate. Even Mr. Bryan went to
Baltimore instructed, by his state, to
vote for the Speaker, but finally Sc
cured permission from the convention
TO break away from his instructions
and then threw his support to Gov
ernor Wilson. Contrary to primary
returns, MP. Wilson was nominated
and elected. OF course everybody,
nearly, including Mr.. Taft, IS rejoiced
TO see his administration moving along
SO smoothly, and If he would show as
much interest in d~isplacing republic
can ofaee-holders with men whose eff
forts made his election possible, as
he does in meddling into local political
matters, his administration would b.
more popular at this meek O. the
woods" He is making a great pres;-
dent, in the general a~cceptation of the
term, but meddling into local affairs
is not calculated to add anything to
his popularity. And if this course is
persisted in, to any considerable ex-
tent, some Of these days the President
will pray for d~eliverance 'from his fool
friends" The democracy of the sew
eral states is fully capable OF manage
ing its W affairs.
The democrats of NorthCarolina have
been getting along remarkably we'll
without any general primary law and
we're never in better fighting trim than
they are today. On the final vote at
Baltimore, they gave Governor Wilson
twenty of their twetny-four votes and
will be solid for him two years hence,
if he behaves himself and rids the
State of republican pap-suckers Just

PUBLIC

Highly commendable evidences of
public ~spiritedness among the bust
ness and professional men Of Hen
Jacksonville have been noticeable IN
the. efforts to induce Miss Kate Shipp
to move Fassifern school from Lin
colnton to this city.
The. attitude of the real estate firm
Of Ewbank & Ewbank is one to be
commended to the public for it newt
0bly counts for much when it comes
to community development. AS stated
in our news column, this firm gladly
offered to sacrifice its commission of
$500 in the proposed sale of property
for the Fassifern school
Notable among these manifestations
of a condition of which Henderson
Vile and community might feel justly
lroud may be found the willingness,
despite pressing personal business, on
the part of Mr.. r. M. Oates and Mr.. F.
A. Ewbank upon request Of the Fass
ifern committee of the Greater Hen
Jacksonville club, to visit Lincolnton
and Columbia to parties interested
in the proposed removal of the school.
In fact, we have noticed ne selfish
r.ess in connection with the move
nent to fet this school. The scame
~earnestness has been shown in this
movement for the public good as
cbaracterizes men in their daily per-
Eonal pursuits.
This is a mighty healthy sign for
Hendersonville and if this spirit is
cultivated this city will not only ge-
Fassifern college but will doubtless
succeed in interesting other public in
| stitutions.

HENDERSON COUNTY FAIR.

Henderson county will have a fair
next fall. It will be held under the
auspices of the Greater Hendersonville
club. It takes money, not a fortune
bv any means, to conduct such an ex-
hibition. Such an institution will in
eyitably bring increased prosperity TO
every man and business interested in
the development Of Henderson county.
The results with be governed to a con-
siderable extent by the success Of the
fair, which will be determined by the
cooperation given by the people in the
way of finances, the latter item haY-
ing considerable to do in the stimula-
ton of interest among the farmers and
the housekeepers, fr1it and stock
growers, who must be interested in
placing exhibits before the fair a be
made representative Of Henderson,
county.
A campaign will ocn be waged for
money. This can be done with the
full knowledge and satisfaction that
each and every subscription, 1t mat
tiers not how small, will be applied to
the development of Henderson county.
! While the results will not come spas
>odically they will. be seen as time
passes, for the fair will promote al!
interests represented. What builds
up agricultural conditions and makes
the farmers labor more profitable
sooner or later rebounds to the ad-
vantage OF all the legitimate business
interests in the county.
It will be much more difficult to
hold the first fair than 1t will be t.
conduct those to follow, therefore no.
only the business men of Henderson
vile but those, as well as the farmers
in every section Of the county would
be rendering a great service by join
iEg the association and paying the
small fee of 81 even though they dc
Lot feel disposed to pay more, but the
business men can readily see where Il
will be to their advantage to make lib
e-al contributions in order to enable
the fair to. offer attractive prizes and
induce the people to produce the very
best in their various enterprises.
We have no doubt that a fair will uh
timately mean greater prosperity fo1
Henderson county and we therefore
sincerely trust that the people viii
take only the most liberal and coop
erative view when it comes to max
