Delicious Ways of Preparing Fruit
That May Be a Novelty to Some
Housewives.

For the many who prefer cooked TO
raw fruits the various delicious ways
known to the Italians may be received
with pleasure.
Different from the usual apple sauce
ia this method Of cooking. Pare ana
quarter apples of any size, drop into
a saucepan, for every six apples add
the Juice of one orange, and a quarter
of the peel sliced with the pulp. Ii
not sufficient juiDa little water may
be added and graduated sugar 10
taste Cook only until the apples are
tender, not long enough for them TO
lose form. Pears cooked the same
way are very good.
Apricots, fresh or dried, are cooked
in the same way. If dried soak for
eight or ten hours. Place In a baking
pan, cover with sugar and marsala
wine. or a good quality of sherry
Place in the oven, cook until soft and
juicy, basting occasionally. Plums will
be found equally good cooked as ap-
ricots.
Prunes, always seasonable, are won
derfully delicious when prepared In
the true Italian way. Soak over night
prunes of any size in sufficient red
wine to cover the fruit and for each
pound OF fruit add half a cup OF
graduated sugar. Cook until tender
and add more wine If much juice is
desired Just what the wine does to
| the flavor of the prunes 1t is difficult
to say, but certainly they are well
worth trying, Dried cherries, as well
as the fresh ones, are good cooked this
way, and blackberries stewed with
claret instead of water will prove a
| new delicacy
Peaches cooked with brandy are OF
! course not a novelty, but peaches
| cooked with raspberry syrup instead
OF sugar ard the usual brandy viii
be something TO remember.

How to Clean Suede,

II you are wearing pair OF fash
lonahle shoes it goes without saying
that they have some suede somewhere
In their makeup. They have suede
tons or they have suede trimmings, or
some place there is some suede.
Also. as a matter of fact, the suede
becomes soiled rather easily Now.
there are several sorts OF cleaners sold
for suede and all of them are fairly
good. But a woman who has had
muck experience with cleaning suede
SAYS that the best way to clean 1t Is
to rub 1t with fine emery cloth. This
literally rubs of the dirt and leaves
tue suede smooth and clean.

keep it up. Keep things a NOV
ing, be wide awake and make it
interesting. The big daily news
papers are full of news some
reliable and some not, but If you
want to write something Of local
interest you have to come to your
local paper if you want it publish
ed; and you always have to come
to the local paper if you want to
get it before the people Of your
own community. The big dailies
are good thing, we need them,
that's sure. but the local papers
are also a necessity, aren't they?
The American is now a legal
newspaper, being a year old and
having over 240 paid subscribers,
which is the required amount, so
we are in a position to publish
legal notices of any kind.
Bring in the news and help us
make the American, an up to-date,
newsy sheet. We can't know
everything that is going on. If
you know of anybody who has
land here or is otherwise interest
ed in this community, and is not
already a subscriber of the
American, give us his name and
we will gladly send him sample
copies. Every name added tc
our list helps advertise Askov -
and that's what we all want, and
it increases our business that
what we like. A weekly re-
minder like a newspaper, to PEG,
pie living in other towns or states
that Askov is still on the mar
and that there is something do
ing here all the time, is sure t.
advertise and result in encour'
aging people to come here tx
settle.
| Again we wish to thank one
and all for the liberal patronage
the first year, and hope that VIZ
may be able to live and prosper
among you.

OUR BIRTHDAY

The American is this week
celebrating its first annual birth
day and commencing on its
second year. As il nearly always
the case the first years existence
of a newspaper il not a very
fiat" thing, nor has it been with
the American, but we wish to
take this means of thanking the
business men of Askov and the
people Of the community as a
whole for their liberal patronage
the past year. With a continued
patronage as in the past, and the
fact that we are in a growing
community, the American will
soon build up a good business.
Our business, both in the news
paper and job work line, has been
enjoying a steady increase, and
we now have a good sized list OF
subscribers which looks good to
our advertisers. Our aim, as has
been pointed out before in these
columns, is to serve all alike, and
show no special favors to any
individual, faction, party OF
otherwise. We are here to work
for the general good of the com.
munity not forgetting ourselves
of course.
When the American commenced
publication a year ago many
were of the opinion that the towr
was too small to support a news
paper and thought it was rather &
luxury, but we are sure that tht
majority Of those have changed
their minds. In fact we have
heard many remark that they arr

WASHINGTON, Feb. Did you
ever watch the actions today of Mr..
Arctomys Monax? Everybody was
doin it.
Arctomys Monax being the scientific
name for ground hog, today was
Z" Ground Hog' day, the popular wea-
ther arbiter for the next six weeks.
Whether Mr.. G. Hog saw his shadow
today and goes into Information for
six weeks more of nasty winter wea-
ther was the question-except at the
U. S. weather bureau.
''Stuff and nonsense was how a
Weather Bureau official today in
dignantly discussed the effect upon the
weather if old Aretomys Monax saw
his shadow.
"We don't take any stock in that

caster declared. Admission that there

hog, or woodchuek, was as far as the
scientific chaps would go.

LOCAL MARKET FOR
ANTIMONY ORES

Floyd Harman, the well known local
mining man, left for Salt Lake City
on Southern Pacific No. this after
noon to close contract for the month
ly delivery to the Murray sampler of
a minimum of 200 tons of antimony
ores. He will return the latter part of
the week, after which time he will be
in the market for all ores of this class
that may be offered. They will be
shipped as fast as purchased to Muir
ray and paid for upon the sampler re-
turns.
Mr.. Harman has secured lease and
bond upon five antimony properties in
the county, which will be worked un-
der his direction. This metal is quoted
at present at around 16 cents, as
against four or FIVE cents a year ago.
The increased price is due to the shut
ting off of the Chinese ores, on account
of the war. As result, the Interna-
tional smelter, formerly the largest
producer Of antimony in the country,
has shut down.

RAILROAD
WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION
CBy United Press. }

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 2.-Twelve
thousand stockholders of the Wheeling
& Lake Erie railroad, Ohio's biggest
financial nut uneraeked, are waiting
patiently for April, when some kind
person with $50, 6,500,000 will be asked
to come along and settle their Difficult
ties by purchasing the most kicked
around little railroad in the United
States.
Hope that the stare of Ohio would
purchase the 400 miles of track, 900
freight ears, s4 passenger coaches, 2lO
locomotives and various other equip
ment was today definitely abandoned
and the "outfit' win be put on the
auction block in April.
Eighteen thousand five hundred dol
lars is the required cash to cover un-
deriving Indebtedness and $1S,O00,0O0
that may be assumed by the purchaser
is described as just "plain indebted
ness -.
Most of the stockholders are East
erners. Eleven of the "a years of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie's history have
seen it in the hands of receiver.
Twice it emerged, only to fall again
in 1908.
The road was born in 1879 by Ca
madam capitalists who foresaw the pos
sibility of tapping the Southeastern
Ohio coal fields with an outlet to Lake
Erie. The Canadian pioneers sold out
to New York capitalists who went re-
ceivership. in 1885. Colonel Myron t.
Herrick, who of late retired as Am
bassadOr to France, vas appointed re-
eeiver and organized a new company
which sold out to Gould interests in
1902. In 1908 the Wheeling & Lake
Erie again went into the hands of the
courts and has there rested ever since.
The little town of Brewster, o., was
found when the w, & l.. f. car shops
were opened there. II the road quits
business, Brewster will quit too.
The road now operates ten passenger
trains and is valuable artery to Can
ton, GAINESVILLE, Toledo and score of
other Ohio town and cities.
An attempt to sell the road at aue-
tion here several months ago failed.

GA Gentleman from Mississippi" is
emphatically an American play. The
authors have summoned the combat
ants of the inevitable dramatic con-
fiict from environments as widely
separated as their principals. The
forces of evil are drawn from those
congressional ranks whose members be-
lieve in the legitimacy of taking ad-
vantage of legislative prospects for
their own aggrandizement. The forces
of good lie in the oddly contracted fig
ure of an old Mississippi planter elect
ed to the senate as a lay figure, and
the Washington correspondent of
New York newspaper The evil forces
are not impossibly vicious nor human.
and are blended by strata of everyday
sort of people who are neither black
or white, but comfortable, hkable
color. There is sustained interest in
the photo play, sufficient element of
suspense, many moments of genuine
dramatic strength and many more of
wholesome. consistent comedy. Inge-
nuity has been shown in knitting the
story together and the atmosphere of
the picture is one that is good for ev-
cry American, young or old, TO breathe.
