Writing of the antiquity of the
straits question. Mr.. Dwight says:
THE true question of the straits
arose as early as the fifth century
b. g., when Alcibfades OF Athens
counseled the people Of Chrysopolis,
the modern Scutarf. at the south
eastern extremity of the Bosphofus,
to take toll of passing ships. But
the Ottoman regulation of the straits
has been far more Jealous than any
thing attempted by the ancfents.
The Turks have allowed no foreign
men-of-war to enter the Marmora.' :
the writer continues. unless under
rare and special circumstances; and
not only do they exercise surveillance
over the traffic In the straits. but
twice during the last four years they
have closed the Dardane1les to navi-
cation Of any kind.
'tAt the moment at which I write
the fleets of France and England
are hammering at the historic gate

sea, which is the ancient question of
the straits. is posed anew. more dra-
matically than ever before. Is 1T for
a final solution? No solution can be
found" the writer concludes" which
will give any one nation an absolute
right of control over the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles."

MOUNT CLARE, Aug. 30-When I
left home to attend the reunion of the
Blue and Gray at Spencer last week
had no Intention OF writing any of my
observations for publication; but OBJ
serving so many things that give dn-
spiration and encouragement to me
that creates spirit OF optimism to the
uplifting of the depressed mind, feel
like sharing it with the public. First,
as is my custom while on the road,
observe from the window the agrt-
cultural condition OF the country trav-
ersed; and / noticed an unusually
large acreage of corn which Will be
above normal yield.
The meadows, now, mostly harvest
ed, were exceedingly good; some
meadows having Yielded ver.two tons
to the acre along the Mill creek valley
I also observed many fields. OF COW
peas and millet yet to be harvested.
This condition indicates to me that
there will not have to be SO much stock
feed shipped :nto our state this win
ter; but the farmers Of our county,
who are depending on this south west-
ern tier of counties for their supply of
stock cattle this fall may depend upon
paying a high price for them as most
ali the stock raisers have plenty Of
feed for wintering, while their supply
of cattle looked to be very limited.
Now, a word for Spencer and the re-
union. I must say I was agreeably
surprised to find such an up-to-date

belief that the future OF Europe once

On Wednesday evening nearly every

Apple Roll With Sauce

Take two cups of flour, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, four level tea
spoonfuls baking powder, two table
spoonfuls of butter, two-thirds of a
cup of milk, one cup of chopped apple,
three teaspoonfuls of sugar, one-half
tablespoonful of cinnamon. Sift flour,
salt and baking powder together and
thoroughly mix in butter with tips of
fingers. Add the milk, stirring it in
with a knife. Roll the dough out a
quarter of an inch thick and spread
with chopped apple, sugar and CHINA
mon. Roll like a jelly roll, cut in
three-quarter-inch slices and place in
buttered pan, fiat side down. Bake
fifteen minutes in a hot oven and
serve hot with lemon sauce. The sauce
IS easily made by boiling three-quar-
tiers of cup of sugar and one-half
cup of water five minutes, adding to
it two tablespoonfuls of butter and
one teaspoonful of lemon juice and
just dash Of nutmeg.

When the making over old cold
meats into warm dishes is in question
consider the casserole. By its use
even the smallest scraps of meat, veg
etables, sauces and gravies can be
used up. Not a spoonful Of anything
edible need go to waste.
When the Sunday joint Of roast
beef has been served hot and then
cold, make a delicious lunch or supper
of the remains if there is insufficient
for a dinner. In the bottom of the
casserole put sliced potatoes, a carrot,
and a copule of onions, small, chop
ped, and, if on hand, a few mush-
rooms. Over this pour the gravy from
the meat, or, if this has been thrown
away, add water seasoned with pep
per and salt. Put on the cover and
bake in slow oven for an hour Half
an hour before serving lay the cold
meat on top of the vegetables, re-
place the cover, and continue the
baking.
Cold roast of lamb will prove a very
tasty dish cooked in a casserole with
green peas. The peas are boiled and
placed in layers in the casserole alter
nately with slices of the lamb. The
liquor in which the peas were boiled
is thickened and poured over, the cas-
serole being set in the oven until the
meat has heated through. Served with
mashed potatoes, an appetiZing meal
is the. result. When cold peas or other
vegetables are on hand white sauce
can be poured over, or any gravy that
may be available. The liquor from
the peas is. not absolutely necessary,
though it adds to the nutrlment of the
dish.
A very delicate dish for dainty
lunch or meal for an invalid, is a
combination of chicken and mush-
rooms prepared in a casserole. The
mushrooms are fried in butter very
lightly, then tablespoonful of flour
mixed with a scant cupful of milk is
poured in and cooked until creamy.
The mushrooms and cold chicken are
packed into the casserole in alternate
layers and the creamy sauce poured
over until the contents are heated
through evenly.
A novel way of using up cold rice
is to cover the bottom of the casserole
with it in quite thick layer, and re-
cook it with raw eggs. Make as many
depressions in the rice as there are
eggs to be cooked and drop one egg
(broken) into each space. Season with
salt and pepper and pop bits of butter
over the rice and eggs.
A still more unusual dish is made

An Arizona law makes it a crime
for an employer of more than five
workmen to employ less than 80 per
cent native-born citizens. The law
which has been held unconstitutional
by lower court has been appealed to
the supreme court by the state attor-
ney-general who declares that the
very welfare and preservation Of the
nation demand that only American
citizens be employed in the copper
mines Of Arizona and that the law is
no more unconstitutional than Penn
sylvania's law prohibiting the sale of
firearms to alien residents which has
been held unconstitutional. On ac-
count of the international complica-
tions involved the case promises to be
one of the most important to be heard
during the coming court year.

Today's Poem
KEEP YOUR CHRISTMAS GREEN

Bring in the trailing forest moss,
Bring cedar, fir and pine,
And green festoon and wreath and
cross
Around the windows Irvine.
Against the whiteness of the wall
Be living verdure seen,
Sweet summer memories to recall
And keep your Christmas green.
II is his dear memorial day
Who broke earth's frozen sleep
And who for her hopes gladdening
ray
Forever bright will keep
He gives all loveliness that grows,
The strong and graceful trees,
The winter moss, the fresh June
The dear Lord saves us these.
Who saves us from the piteous wreck
OF souls adrift in sin,
So not alone the churches deck,
But peaceful homes within
Made peaceful by his constant love,
Let thoughts of him abide.
To find us our lost home above
He homeless lived and died.
We keep the bright home festival
And, with a childlike cheer,
His angel ushered birthday call
The merriest of the year.
Yes, merry Christmas let it be,
A day Of love and give,
Since every souls best gift is he
Who came that we might live.
And all things beautiful are his,
And his he maketh ours,
So bring each bud that bursting is,
All Christmas blooming flowers.
All blossoms that in windows shine,
With leaves to light unfurled,
In memory of that Flower Divine
Whose fragrance fills the world.
Be all old customs honored so
That good to others mean,
Bring cross and garland from the
snow
And keep your Christmas green.
Lucy LarcoAn.
