UNCLE SAM AND HIS FORTU-
NATE ISLES.

The National Geographic Society
has just received report which de
tails the number and prosperity of the
island possessions of Uncle Sam, which
number 1000 and support a popula-
ton of l0,000,000-more than the en-
tire population OF the United States
a century ago.
The most striking feature of the re-
port is the development shown to
have been made in Porto Rico, Hawaii
and the Alaskan archipelago. When
Porto Rico came into American pos
session, about fifteen years ago, it had
but single school building, while to-
day there are 1900 such; in the first
year Of American occupation there
were $4,000 pupils enrolled, and now
there are $4,000. The foreign com
merce Of the island was then about
$30,000,00O year; now it is nearly
$1000OO,OO0.
In Hawaii the story is even more

cheerful. This island came permanent
ly under the American flag in 1900
The assessed value of property has
increased one-hali, the value OF the
sugar crop has more than doubled.
Deposits in savings banks have quad
rupled and in other banks trebled. The
report goes on to detail that the
quantity OF sugar produced per acre
far exceeds that OF any other spot on
the globe.
The record of the Alaska islands
shows that the payment of $7,S0O,0OO
to Russia for Alaska BY Secretary
Seward, which scandalized the coun-
try SO long ago. has justified itself
For many years the annual value OF
the sealskins alone Appropriated the
cost OF the entire area, while at pres
ent the value of the canned salmon
sent us from Alaska in a single year
is twice as much as the territory

STATE GRANGE INDORSE
PRESIDENTS PROGRAM
Useful Wagon Roads and Not Scenic
Highways Favored.

The State Grange finished its labors
last week. The next meeting will be
held at Payette. Before adjourning
the following resolutions were adopted
Whereas, 1t has always been the
policy and one of the cardinal princi-
pies of this organization to commend
or condemn, as the case may be, pub
lie othclals-county, state or national
whenever or wherever commenda-
ton or condemnation was or is due,
regardless Of the politics of said off
Gals; and
Whereas, we heartily approve of
suggestions and recommendations re-
Gently made by President Wilson to
the national congress concerning
proposed legislation for the dis
solution and partition of certain
monopolies now existing, and for the
prosecution and punishment of any
Others that may be organized after
said suggestions and recommendation
have been enacted into law now,
therefore, it is hereby
Resolved, By the Idaho state
grange, in sixth annual convention as
sembled, that we heartily approve the
great work done by the national con-
gress during the past year and we
also approve the sincere, dgnihed
and statesmanlike manner Of Presi-
dent Wilson and his tactful and mas
terly handling of the great problems
of the day.
Whereas, The grange has been
the pioneer in the good roads move
ment, together with national aid for
the same, and as the sentiment for
good roads is practically universal
and
Whereas, There is grave danger
OF this sentiment being diverted to-
ward the construction OF scenic high
ways and boulevards for tourists and
pleasure seekers rather than for the
business interests of the general pub
lie; and
Whereas, The roads needed first
are those which put the farmr in
close touch with the trading centers
and enable the producer and con-
sumner to reach each other quickly,
ineXpensively and easily, saving the
farmer much money in the cost OF
hauling, thus enabling the consumer
to receive a share of the benefits
and
Whereas, While the scenic road
advertises the state, the interior road
develops its resources, the former are
desirable when they can be afforded
but the latter are indispensable; and
Whereas. Roads are local affairs
and their control should remain with
the state and the people in whose
midst they are; therefore be it
Resolved, That business before
pleasure is especially true in regard
to the location and construction oI
public highways; and be it further
Resolved, That the Legislative
committee OF the grange, both nation,
al and state, Be urged to use every
honorable endeavor to secure first
business roads that will serve the best
interests of the producer and the CON
sumner.
Resolved further, That we are OPP
posed to the many bonding scheme,
advocated by those seeking touring
roads. believing that the pay-aSyou
90 policy is far more buSinesSlikc.'

Must Comply with Law.

Vermillion.-Because the owners OF
managers of opera houses have failed
or refused to comply with the provi
sions of the state building inspection
law the state food and drug commits.
sioner has recently found It necessary
to condemn a number Of such build
ings. Among other requirements OF
the law as applied to buildings used
for public entertainments are wide
exits, proper inclines instead of steps.
fire PROCEED scenery and curtains and
seats securely fastened to the floor
and properly spaced. Since the food
and drug department has taken charge
of this branch of inspection work some
improvements have been required of
practically every public hall or opera
house in the state, and there remain
comparatively few now which do not
comply with the law. The commission
er says it is important that all new
buildings should be erected in such
name as to conform to the specifica-
tions of this state building inspection
law, and that prospective builders Of
such buildings write the state food
commissioner at Vermillion for a copy
of the law. In a bulletin sent out from
the office of the food and drug com.
missioner attention is called to the
necessity for ample fire escapes on
school houses in the state. The food
commissioner has been gathering in.
formation concerning the standard re-
~quirements for school buildings and il
is expected that inspectors OF this de-
partment will shortly after the first
of he new year start on a general cam.
paign of inspection OF the schoolhouses
in the state.

BEFORE THE HEAVY COURSE
Some Delicious Appetizers That Are
Not at All Hard to Acquire
or Prepare.

The hOrs d'oeuvre is not much used
10y private families in America, but
a dish of any of the things used will
admirably set off a modest meal. For
oysters or clans, cooked or raw. two
hours before serving chop two or
three shallots very fine and put them
in a saucedish with salt, pepper, vine
gar and oil. Pass this around with
the shellfish, supplying small plates
for holding the sauce. Another ex-
cellent hors d'oeuvre can be made Of
one green pepper, several slices of
Bermuda onion, and one firm, fresh
tomato. Peel the tomato and denude
the pepper Of seeds. Then cut the
last in fine shreds, putting these on
top of a slice of onion laid in turn on
a slice Of tomato. But do this indi-
vidual arrangement after the vege-
tables have marinated in a dressing
Of olive oil, lemon Juice or vinegar
and salt and pepper. Anchovies,
preserved in oil, are famous appetiz-
ers, and they are served as they
come on a little dish with hard
boiled eggs chopped fine, capers and
minced parsley.

Movies at Training School.

Plankinton.-The boys and girls or
the State Training school were given
a treat which all enjoyed to the limit.
A moving picture machine has been
purchased by the board OF charities
and corrections and moving pictures
will hereafter be a regular program OF
the institution once each week. This
is one of the most important things
that has been provided this institution,
in he opinion Of the board. The boys
and girls have been greatly handicap
ped by a lack of the entertainment
features to which young people out
side have full access No one who
could have witnessed the great Joy of
every one in any way connected with
this institution could reach any other
conclusion than that the moving pic
ture machine ONE as a great bless
ing. Films will be chosen that are
beneficial. Educational features,
scenes of a historic nature and clean
comedy will be the weekly program

Abecdeen.-The annual convention
Of the Farmers Cooperative assocfa-
ton of South Dakota adjourned after
a three-days' session at Aberdeen. The
attendance was about $50 and the nu-
merous addresses on different phases
of cooperative work attracted much
attention. Herman w. Danforth Of
Washington, ILL.,, president of a similar
organization in Illinois and president
of the National Council OF Farmers
Cooperative associations, delivered an
address that attracted much attention,
or What the Railroads Are Trying to
Do and What the National Council Is
Doing" He charged the railroads with
trying to advance the grain rates 2
cents per 100 pounds on all grain ship
ped east, and a general blanket ad-
vance. He contended the railroads
are making money at the present rates
and are not entitled to the increase,
and stated that despite increased cost
OF maintenance, and heavy expense
due to flood damages, the earnings per
mile of road we're 1880 per cent great
er in 1913 than in 1890, and that there
had been a gradual increase in earn
ings each year since 1890. He also
charged that in 1913 the net earnings
of the roads were 1887 per cent great
err per mile than in 1S9. He claimed
that the proposed increase, If allowed,
WOULD take $1Oo, 900, 900 annually from
the farmers of the grain growing sec
tons of the country.

That small pieces of chicken with
the merest bit of it's own liver pounded
up with some cream and a little cora
line pepper make a delicious paste to
spread on thin slices of brown bread.
Before attempting to seed raisins
cover them with hot water and let
them stand Is minutes; then the seeds
can be removed easily without any
waste.
The leftover cooked potatoes should
not be piled together, as they will sour
quickly; spread them out on a large

That a teaspoonful Of curry powder
added to the cream sauce in which
macaroni is baked greatly improves
the flavor.

Pierre.-Two initiated measures for
guaranteeing bank deposits will come
before the South Dakota voters at the
general election of 1916. One measure
brought out under the auspices of the
state Democratic committee, was filed
Just after he close of the last legisla-
tive session. The second measure has
just been completed by the committee
appointed by the State Bankers asso-
citation. 1t will be initiated through
and filed with the secretary of state.
Both measures will come before the
coming legislative session, but mere
ly as a legal Formally. The legislators
must pass the measures as initiated
and submit them to the voters.
In the act prepared by the bankers
committee provision is made for as.
sessment of one-fcurth of / per cent,
annually, on all deposits until the re-
serve fund equals IL per cent of tho
total deposits. Under present condi-
tons this would provide an emergency
account of about 5000, 900, and wou''
call for payments of about $4,000 =
year from all of the banks, unless de.
pleted by bank failures the fund would
reach the maximum in six years.
If a new bank desires to come under
The law it must pay into the fund a
sum equal to 4 per cen of its capital
stock, which will be used as a basis
for the first year. The act prepared
by the bankers committee formulates
a complete banking code, with a state
banking and finance department, in
charge of a public examiner at a salary
of $500 a year and a deputy at $4,000
a year
The guarantee measure of the Dem.
ocratic committee, now on file, estab.
fishes the guarantee fund with an
assessment Of l per cent of the depos-
its, and subsequent assessments of 2
mills on the dollar. with provision for
special assessments in case of need.
The bankers claim the Democrat"
act would establish a fund Of 5000 ,00O
the first year, with additional annual
payments of $120, 900. They contend
that this burden is heavier than neces
ssry.

FOR OLD.FAsHI0NED CAKE
Recipe That Has Not Been Improved
on Since Our Grandmothers
Used to Make *.

Fruit for this should be prepared
In advance as follows: Six cupfuls Of
currants. washed, dried and picked.
Three cupfuls sultana %raisins, three
cupfuls of citron cut in fine strips, one
half cupful candied lemon peel, two
cupfuls of almonds blanched and cut
in shreds. In a warm bowl mix four
cupfuls of butter and four cupfuls OF
sugar, granulated or confectioner's,
beat these together until very light.
Break ten eggs into another bowl, do
not beat them.
Cover a waiter with a big sheet of
paper; sift four pints Of flour over
this, add the fruit and the following
spices: two t"easpoonfuls each of nut
meg, mace and cinnamon, one table
Mix these together aud stand aside
ready for use. Have ready in a little
pitcher one-half pint best brandy. Sc
1ect a deep cake tin and grease with
butter, line 1t inside with white paper
and on the outside and bottom with
four or five thicknesses of very thick
wrapping paper which you must tie
on. Have your oven hot and the fire
banked so it will not burn out quick
ly. Now beat the butter and sugar
once more, add the eggs two at a time,
beating the mixture after each addi-
ton. When the eggs are all used, turn
in the -four and fruit with brandy, mix
thoroughly, pour into the prepared
cake tin, cover with several thickness
es of brown paper, and bake eight
hours, keeping the owe steady and
clear.
Remove from the oven and allow
1t to stand on tin sheet until quite
cold. Ice with a thin coat Of white
icing top and sides and stand in a cool
oven to dry, then give it a second coat
of thick icing and ornament according
to fancy. An icing made of white
egg, a few drops Of cold water and
confectioner's sugar is the best for
the thick icing.
