illustrating the character of unneces.
Bary expenses to which we refer
Union Opposes Full Crew" Bill.
The Texas Farmers Union regis
tered its opposition to this character
of legislation at the last annual meet
ing held in Fort Worth, Tex, August
4, 1914, by resolution, which we quote,
as follows:
The matter of prime Importance
to the farmers of this state is an ade-
quate and efficient marketing system;
and we recognize that such a system
is impossible without adequate rail-
road facilities. embracing the greatest
amount of service at the least pos
sible cost We further recognize that
the farmers and producers in the end
pay approximately 95 per cent of the
expenses of operating the railroads,
and it is therefore to the interest of
the producers that the expenses of
the common carriers be as small as
is possible, consistent with good SER
vice and safety We, therefore, call
upon our law makers, courts and
iuries to bear the foregoing facts in
mind when dealing with the common
carriers of this state, and we do espe-
cially reaffirm the declarations of
the last annual convention of our
State Union, opposing the passage of
the so-called full-crew' bill before
ho mt hi rd LOTT Of Toyoc
The farmers of Missouri in the last
election, by an overwhelming ma
jority, swept this law off the statute
book of that state, and it should
come off of all statute books where
it appears and no legislature Of this
nation should pass such law or
similar legislation which requires un-
necessary expenditures
The same rule applies to all regu-
latory measures which increase the
expenses of industry without giving
corresponding benefits to the public.
There is ofttimes body of men as
sembled at egislatures-and they
have a right to be there-who, in |
their zeal for rendering their fellow
associates a service, sometimes favor
an increase in the expenses of in
dustry without due regard for the men
who bow their backs to the summers
sun to meet the payroll, but these
while making a record
for themselves, rub the skin off the
shoulders of the farmer by urging the
legislature to lay another burden
upon his heavy load and under the
ash of be it enacted" goad him on
to pull and surge at the traces of civil
lzation, no matter how he may sweat,
foam and gall at the task When
legislatures cut melon for labor
they hand the farmer a lemon.
The farmers of the United States
are not financially able to carry dead
heads on their payrolls Our own
llred hands are not paid unless we
nave something for them to do and
we are not willing to carry the hired
help of dependent industries unless
here is work for them We must
therefore insist upon the most rigid
economy
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1915-01-29

Legislative housekeeping Needed.
While the war is on and there ia a
lull in business, we want all legisla-
tive bodies to take an inventory of
the statute books and wipe off all
extravagant and useless laws A good
housekeeping is needed and econo-
mics can be instituted here and there
that will patch the clothes of INDECENT
children, rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from respondent homes.
Unnecessary workmen taken off and
useless expenses chopped down all
along the line will add to the pros
perity OF the farmer and encourage
him in his mighty effort to feed and
clothe the world
II any of these industries nave sur
plus employees we can use them on
the farm. We have no regular
schedule OF wages, but we pay good
farm hands on an average of $l.5O
per day of thirteen hours when thew
board themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the year and the
three months dead time, they can do
the chores for theiI board. If thew
prefer TO farm on their own account.
there are more than $4,000 900, 900
acres of idle land on the earth's snr.
face awaiting the magic touch of the
pillow The compensation is easily oh.
tainable from Federal Agricultural
Department statistics. The total
average annual sales of a farm in
the continental United States amounts
to $4,000; the cost of operation is
$4,000; leaving the farmer $176 per
annum to live on and educate his
family.
There is no occasion for the legis-
latures making a position for surpIus
employees of industry Let them come
back to the soil" and share with us
the prosperity of the farm.

Here rest the bones of Silas Hay,
The durn fool got too smart;
He looked into gun one day
To see the bullet start.

Here rest the bones of Ezra Tank,
His folly none could throttle;
He got up in the dark and drank
Out of the acid bottle.
Detroit Free Press.
Here lie the bones of Hiram Blaine,
Who trusted to his feet,
And wouldn't take an aeroplane
To cross a jitney street.

Here float the bones of Thomas Croat
Who on a foolish lark,
Though warned by all, rocked a boat
Which pitched him to a shark.

Down i'm Arizona

A travelling salesman who goes into
every nook and corner of Arizona
came into the w. T. G. u. booth of the
Panama Pacific Exposition a few days
ago and in accents strongly German
asked what we knew of the results of
prohibition in Arizona. Miss Brown,
the director, repeated some of the
statements which had come to her
from residents and travellers, not at
all knowing his attitude in the matter.
Then he told her that he had been in
all parts OF the state, having gone
over the territory for fourteen years.
He said: "You cannot exaggerate
changed conditions. In the mines the
accidents have decreased eighty per
cent, the efficiency has more than
doubled, and the physical appearance
of the communities has greatly i'm
proved. The faces of the men look
far more fresher, healthier, and hap
pier. Business has improved greatly
Merchants and other business men
who formerly opposed prohibition on
the ground of injury to business are
now its greatest boosters and would
not allow a return to old conditions.
Prohibition has come to stay in Ari-
zona." The visitor admitted that he
had always been accustomed to take
his glass of beer and liked glass of
wine with his meals, but declared
there is not one argument for the con-
tinuance of the liquor traffic He also
volunteered the information that he
carries policy in the Germania Life
Insurance Extension Company whose
duty it is to examine policy holders
at certain intervals and warn them of
approaching disease. He himself was
reported ninety-two percent in health,
but warned to "cut out" all alcohol
and tobacco. This is a fine indication
of the trend of sentiment in insurance
circles.

Today's Poem
THE WORK THAT MUST BE DONE


It's not the work you'd like to do,
The work that pleases most,
Or represents the best in you,
OF which you really boast;
It's work that's done from loyalty,
That means a triumph won;
And ones best work must ever be
The work that MUST be done.
For time and tide wait for no man,
And Duty's clarion call
Rings out; you do the best you can;
You give your heart and all;
Though oft the heart is full of tears,
And hidden be the sun,
The world will judge you, it appears
BY work that MUST be done.
What though the task heartbreaking
be,
Or scarce seem worth the while?
The painted clown you sometimes see
Might reason in this style.
His sorrows-what are they to YOU?
His to provide the fun;
And thus he does, as you must do,
The work that MUST be done.

AT dinner given oy the Ichthyo-
phagous Club the question of what
would go in salad was tested by the
service of bowl containing dock
leaves, young mint, wood sorrel, chop
ped chives and sassfras buds. This
mixture was garnished with honey
suckles and wild flowers. 1t was vot-
ed n success.
at took time to convince people of
the virtues of the tomato as a food,
and other equally delicious foods re-
mained unappreciated for years.
ain American kitchens the green
tops of certain vegetables such as
beets, carrots, onions and radishes, all
of which are utilized by cooks of other
countries as soup greens, are often
thrown away, although they are OF
food value. Pea pods will make de-
licious soup if boiled with a small
piece of fat pork and some barley or
rice and then strained clear.
"The stock pot. that treasure of the
Tuscan and the French cook, receives
all the clean waste that Is thrown
away by other nations. Eyen frult
peelings 90 into it and the daily boil
ing, swimming and straining leaves
il a Jar of broth which quickly jellies
in the refrigerator and can be used as
foundation for purees and gravies,
as an addition to all gravies and as
a factor in the making of forcemeats
and sauces.
The lemon, orange and grapefruit
peelings. thrown away in many
households, make a delicious sweet
meat candied with ginger, which
would cost next to nothing in the put
ting up; but not one native cook in
ten thinks of utilizing them.
"China revels in cooked bamboo,
which Americans can get in Florida.
The tender shoots are boiled with a
little salt and served with French
dressing. The Chinese employ it as
part Of a great many dishes.
"The chrysanthemum is eaten IN
Japan. The leaves and flowers are
boiled and eaten with soy. The roots
are eaten with sugar. In Germany
they use the evening primrose as a
salad. The young early shoots are
cooked and dressed with vinegar and
oil. The marigold and the nastrur-
tium are both edible, the leaves Of the
first and the seeds of the second"
Nothing that grows was made in
vain. Irish dulse, a moss that grows
on the rocks, is a valued food. II is
used for soups and salads.

Gives His Reason

DIR. Gen. Potter Benton, president
of University of Vermont says, II
will not serve on teaching body with
men who use Intoxicating liquors in
any form whatever. My responsible
ity to young manhood and woman
hood for character ideals is too great
to permit me to attempt to bear the
burden of responsibility, which / could
not escape for a colleague who leads
an immoral life"
DR.. David Starr Jordan, Ex-Presi-
dent Leland Stanford University
says, "The basis of temperance is
the effort to secure through drugs the
feeling of happiness when happiness
does not exist. One and all results
Of their habitaul use is to render the
nervous system incapable of telling
the truth"
Several Of the railroads Of West
Virginia have had injunctions served
on them, by the State Prohibition
Commissioner, Fred o. Blue, re
straining them from allowing passen-
gers to carry Intoxicating liquors in
their personal baggage when label
ed outside as such.
Liquor dealers outside the state of
West Virginia cannot advertise their
wares in that state any longer by or
der of the supreme court of the state

A Question

One of my neighbors has request
ed me, through the columns of the
Banner to try to secure satisfactory
answer to the following question. A
neighbor was taxed the past year over
$l.25 an acre for every foot of his
land, not including the tax he paid
on his automobile. Now, the neighbor
thinks the charge for living is rather
steep and asks whether he had bet
ter sell the farm, or the automobile,
or even whether or not it would be
wise to sell both the farm and ma
chine, put the money in his pocket,
and go "a-foot?"

Cooking Sauces

All sauces must be stirred constant
ly while cooking and the seasonings
added very carefully, as few grains
of additional cayenne or small
amount of extra onion juice may spoil
the flavor Of the most carefully pre-
pared sauce.
The delightfully."- elusive taste of
many of French sauces is obtained
in most instances from blending of
different seasonings and even of diff
ferent sauces, used quantities that the
result is a harmony.

A New Fish

Have you bought any tuna fish yet
Ii not, you have a pleasant surprise
before you. This is a comparatively
new fish on the inland market. 1t
comes in small tins, similar to salmon,
and sells for the same price, according
to the size of the tin. On the Pacific
coast, where it is canned, it is called
the chicken of the sea-" because of
it's white flesh and delicate flavor 1t
can be prepared in any way that is
suitable for sewing salmon, and is as
good creamed, or made into fish balls
as the best grade of Goldfish or fish
flakes. By the way, when you want
fish balls that are not quite as strong
ly favored as Goldfish, and cannot get
tuna, ask for fish flakes, which also
come in cans. They are honey, and
are in small pieces, ready for immedi-
ate use, and are much fresher than
goldfish.
The following recipes are given for
salmon, but are recommended espec-
tally for tuna. This is also sold un-
der the name of tunney fish, though
tuna is the correct name.
Salmon Croquette-MiX the meat
from one can of salmon drained and
minced, half a cupful of fine bread
crumbs, salt pepper, little nutmeg,
the juice of half lemon and table
spoonful of butter. If too dry moisten
with little of the salmon liquor.
Form into rolls and -four them WELL
Set them in cold place for an hour
and then fry in hot fat.
Salmon Cups-Chop finely the meat
from a can of salmon and add to it
half cupful of soft bread crumbs,
two tablespoonfuls of melted butter,
one of lemon juice, two beaten eggs,
salt, pepper and half cupful of rich
milk. Mix and pack creased cups,
set them in a pan of hot water and
bake until firm. Turn out and serve
hot on individual dishes with white
sauce.
Salmon Salad-One cupful of mine
ed salmon mixed with one cupful of
chopped celery. Add a French or
mayonnaise dressing and serve on let
tuce leaves. Another palatable salad
is made by mixing salmon and peas.
Any of the latter that are left from
meal will answer. And almost any
proportion of salmon and peas with a
dressing will make a very acceptable
salad.
Fried Smoked Salmon-Make a
marinade or sauce of four tablespoon
fuls of olive oil, two tablespoonful of
vinegar, two cloves, a bit of bay leaf
and six pepper corns. Pour it over a
pound of smoked salmon and let it
stand for several hours. Then fry the
slices in good cooking oil and serve
at once, garnished with sliced lemon.
Salmon Souffle-Separate a can of
salmon into fakes and add to it the
well-beaten yolks of three eggs. Add
to these half "a cupful of bread
crumbs which have been soaked in a
like amount of warm milk, mix thor
oughly and season with salt, pepper,
and little lemon juice. Beat the
whites Of the eggs until very light
and then fold them into the mixture.
Bake in moderate oven in a buttered
dish set in hot water.

men of depth and soundness in their
