ADOPT SET OF RESOLUTIONS

Livia, KY, Dec. Z, 1915.
Farmers from miles around, 500
strong, assembled at this place this
afternoon to discuss the tobacco sit
nation, which seems to be uppermost
In the minds of the people at this
time
The principal talk was made by S.
B. Robertson, of Calhoun, after
which the constitution and bylaws
of the Tobacco Board of Trade of
Owensboro were read and discussed
and the following resolutions unani-
mously adopted:
We, your committee on resolu-
lions, beg leave to make the follow
ing report:
Whereas, the farmers were led to
believe when the loose leaf tobacco
warehouses were established, that
good prices would prevail and the
plan would prove to be satisfactory,
allowed their tobacco organizations
10 go out of business and give the
loose leaf market a trial;
Whereas, after due trial we have
found the loose leaf plan altogether
unsatisfactory as to prices and ex-
pense and inconvenient to farmers
living fifteen to twenty miles away
from market, and
Whereas, the buyers and tobacco
warehousemen have formed an or
ganization which places the seller at
Ghe mercy of the buyer. and
Whereas, no manufacturer of to-
Dacco or any other product could
survive and sell his product at pub
iic auction like they are asking and
trying to force us to do, therefore,
DE it
Resolved, that we, tobacco grow
ers OF this section, representing sew
erA million pounds of the best to-
bacco in the Green River District, in
mass meeting assembled at Livia.
this the 18th day of December, 1915,
do hereby in unqualified terms con-
denim The loose leaf plan of selling
tobacco. and do hereby appeal to
and petition the several tobacco
companies doing business in this dis
trict to be fair anc to meet us at orr
harms and buy our tobacco there, as
they did II. DAYS past, and request |
that they continue to receive at the |
different points throughout the dis
trict, instead Of trying to force us to
haul our tobacco from fifteen to
thirty miles to one market. Be it

Resolved that we recommend and |
request that all growers keep their
tobacco in their barns until sold, and |
that We request other districts to
meet and pass similar resolutions.

The Russian Peasant.

In ''The Russian Army From With
in the author, Mr.. Stevens, thus de-
scribes the appearance of the Russian
peasant:
THE ordinary peasant, the man who
has built up the Russian empire with
his blood and his toll, is not big man.
He is Of medium stature, broad Shout
dered and sturdy, with square fore
head, square jaw, regular Arian fea-
lures and flowing beard, unless he
comes of Tartar or Finnish extraction.
In short, the pure Russian is an Arian,
with a considerable admixture Of Scan
dinavian blood in his veins, especially
in the northern government, where the
finest Russ or Russian types are found"

Oriqin Of the Opera.

In one sense the opera is one of the
Oldest forms of entertainment, for it's
drama. In it's modern sense, however,
1t dates from the year 1900, when Peri
produced the first true Italian opera to
grace the festivities of the marriage OF
Henry w. OF France and Marie de- Me-
dici The work attracted great atten-
ton, and many Italian mobiles figured
In the cast. In France the opera was
the outcome of the ballet and In Eng
land Of the masque. Purcell is entitled
to the honor Of producing the first real
English opera, although one of Ben
Jonson's Mosques was set to music as
early as 1917.

one grains of nitrate of ammonia and
dissolve in two ounces of alcohol. Put
the solution in long, slender bottle,
closed at the top with a piece OF bIad-

When rain is coming the solid particles
will tend gradually to mount, little
crystals forming In the liquid, which
otherwise remains clear. If high winds

A Peculiarly of Dreams.

AS to dreams, there was a discussion
at the club lunch. and one man remark
ed that no man dreamed of himself as
Drawer than be is. When the dream
came the dreamer was always the un-
der dog. He was in horrible danger
and never did anything picturesque 20
face it. There may be men who are
brave in their sleep, but it would be
interesting to find one man outside of
the dozen sleeping towards who is a
hero to himself in a dream.-London

Dried Herrings with Fine Herbs
Few people know now very nice
smoked and dried fish can be when
cooked in a paper bag and seasoned
IN the French fashion Take four
dried herrings, bone them, fill the
cavities with a little (about half a
teaspoonful to each fish finely
minced shallot, or chives, and pars-
ley. Add a few fresh breadcrumbs
and tiny bits of butter If liked, a
tiny crate or nutmeg may be added
as well as a good dust of pepper. Put
into a well creased bag and bake in
the oven for ten minutes. Dish up
and serve as hot as possible. Other
dried fish are excellent prepared in
the same way.
Riz Aux Crevettes. = Take four
ounces of boiled rice, add to it pepper
and salt TO taste, a lump of butter
about the size of big Brazil nut, and
Two dessertspOonfuls of finely grated
cheese. Put this mixture in well
creased Dag and make very hot for
six minutes Then open the bag and
stir in gently a few faxed shrimps.
Mix in lightly with a fork. Replace
the bae on the brOiler, make hot for
another three minutes, then dish Up
and serve.
Jambon Milanaise.-Take six slices
of either raw ham or breakfast bacon,
machine cut if possible, take also
half pint of cold boiled peas, and If
to hand, half a dozen cold boiled new
potatoes. Put the slices into a bag
and cook them, then take out, and add
the peas and the potatoes, the latter
first thinly sliced, and cook in the
ham fat until very hot. Empty on to
a hot dish and pour over the peas
half pint of very hot well-seasoned
tomato pulp or tomato catsup, which
ever is preferred. The peas and po-
tatoes should be arranged as border
with the slices in the middle. When
they can be had, half a dozen chicken
iivers greatly improve this dish.

TO HAVE BIC

Has Powerful DredgeS and
Fluid Which Turns Loose
Earth to Rock.

the top of the sliding soil is now 100
feet lower than the upper portion of
the hill from which it separated.
Nowhere else on the whole line of
the nine miles of the Culebra cut is
there any sign of movement. | have
bought additional and powerful dredges
and shall use all that / can crowd into
the space until the prism is wholly
cleared and the full width of the 800
feet channel is available to do it's full
depth of forty feet. We have already
removed nearly 100000 cubic yards
of material.
1.-THE report that the bottom of the
canal is rising on account of pressure
on the bank is, l believe, wholly I'M
founded The filing up over spaces al

wholly due to the fact that this partic-
ular soil when exposed to water sat
uration turns into fluid mud and moves
across the canal bottom under the
pressure of the descending pushing
earth behind.
"This fairly defines the amount of
work to be done. 1t is my intention to
keep up the dredging until bay is
formed on the Gold hill side that will
absorb any future slips on that side.
''The question of slides as a whole
must be dealt with in that way-name-
ly, as they may occur. 1t would be de-
sirable no doubt to so widen the banks
above the prism for the whole nine
miles that there would be no possibility
of an interruption of the traffic from
collapsing banks, but the practical diff
ficulty would be to tell where to begin.
1t is well to recall that probably no.
where on the earth's surface is there in
the same space the same variety of
rocks and earths mixed up in such a
way as in the hills through which we
have run the Culebra cut. In most
places the rock wall is solid, but close
by may be a weak spot. People have
smiled at the canal engineers phrase
of the angle of repose,' but it is really
that which determines safety at each
point where there has been a giving
way, and in no two places will it be
alike. Another factor is that some of
the rocks actually harden when expos
ed TO water, while some of the earths-
as in the stuff coming down at Gold
hill-take up water and becomes field
mud at once.

PAPER BAG
COOKING
Great System Perfected by Nj.
SOyeT, Famous London Chef.
BOON TO THE SLENDER PURSE.
BY Martha MccuIIoch Williams.

BY Martha McCuIIoch Williams.
1t is as true as it is piteous that
'the poor is destroyed by his power
ty." Strength and competence, the
high roads of escape from poverty,
depend primarily on health, which in
turn depends so much upon food. For
these many, many years it has been
patent that many of our fellow Great
ures have been handicapped in the
race of life by improper food or the
improper preparation of cheap food
that would be health-giving in ample
quantity if prepared properly for the
palate
There is opening now an avenue of
possible escape. l mean the paper
bag. BY its help, the cheap cuts
which alone are within the compass
of slender purses, may be cooked in
such fashion as to yield the last grain
of nourishment they contain, and be
bettered in the process. Further,
they will sauce and season much
other cheap food-stuff, thereby dou-
bling or trebling its dietetic value.
This can be accomplished through
the medium of stews.
Meat for stewing may be bought at
the lowest current prices-fank, neck
scrag, shank-it is all the same to
the bag. Have a care in cutting it up,
that no sharp bones are left project
ing. Wash clean, but very quickly,
after cutting up, dry with a damp
cIOth-which is not paradoxical
though it sounds so-season lightly
with salt and pepper and let lie for
an hour in a cool place. Wash the
vegetables carefully, cut them up,
and put in cold water.
Grease a roomy bag very well-a
stew of all things needs not to be
skimped in space. Put a thick layer
of the mixed vegetables, dripping
layer of meat, then more vegetables,
the rest of the meat, then the last of
the vegetables, thrusting in among
them a good lump of fat, either drip
pings, butter or lard, that has been
rolled in -four. Pour in a tablespoon
full of water for each pound of meat,
fold the bag, clip it extra securely,
reduce the heat one-half, and cook
from two to three hours, depending
on the bulk. Take up in deep dish,
stir we'll, taste, add more salt and
pepper if needed, and serve very hot.
The proportion of vegetables to
meat may be three to one, or even
four to one, if there is plenty of extra
fat.
Stew Without Meat.-Try out two
ounces of suet, taking care not to
scorch the tissue, but to get it brown,
put in enough toasted bread crumbs
to absorb the fat entirely, stir them
well about, sprinkle with salt and
pepper, then put in a bag in layers
with sliced tomatoes, sliced carrots.
white potatoes cut as for frying,
onions sliced and soaked half an hour
in salt water, also pieces of tart APP
ple-peeled of course Season each
layer lightly as you put it in, remem-
boring always that salt and pepper
can be added, but can not be taken
away. Add bits of butter also if you
want the stew very rich. Add at the
very last half a gill of stock, or milk
and water, seal bag tight, put in a hot
oven, slack heat after five minutes,
and cook for three-quarters of an
hour
