Hot Cross Biscuits.

Hot cross biscuits taste good at any
season of the year. Their ingredients
consist Of: One quart flour, one tea
spoonful salt, four teaspoonfuls bak-
ing powder, half a cupful of butter,
half a teaspoonful each of ground Gin
namon and nutmeg, one tablespoonful
finely chopped citron or candied
orange peel, half a cupful of currants,
one egg and sweet milk to make a
firm dough. Some brands Of -four
absorb more moisture than others, so
the amount of milk or water used for
biscuits is not absolute. Roll an inch
thick, cut in large rounds, cut two
gashes at right angles across the top
of each, and moisten the tops with
milk before baking. Some cooks like
to fill the cross cuts with sugar.

MINNEHAHA SAFE.

Now that the Minnehaha has ar.
rived safely in port, after putting out
the fire which was alleged to have
been started by Holt bomb, it may be
that Holt will be allowed to remain
in his grave in peace and not be ac-
cused OF any more crimes. During
the past week Hollis name has been
used in connection with almost every
conceivable crime. Not in long time
has one man so monopoiized the news
as did Holt from the time he took a
shot at Morgan until he committed
suicide. and even until the Minnehaha
was safe in port. It is rather poor
craftsmanship to take long presump.
tons on a dead man and to accuse
him Of things Of which there is no
certainty. You can say what you
want about man who passed to tie
great beyond without fear Of contra
diction from him; but it Is a differ
ent proposition to accuse man who
is still alive. He has a come back

The German answer 10 the United

marine warfare in general IS now on
its way to this country and within a
few days the contents Of the answer

apprehension that the answer OF Ger.

in this country, but the great mass
Of the people in the United States
still believes that the note will be con-
ciliatory in tenor and that no further
complications will arise between the
two countries. 1t is to be fervently
hoped that such will be the case.
The answer should be received in
Washington today or Sunday and as
soon as the President returns 70

SATURDAY, JULY 10. 1915.
A HOUSE DIVIDED.

The Democratic family OF Fairmont
seems 70 be divided on the paving
question. The slow progress being
MADE IN tho Improvement Of the high,
Ways Of this city has at last attracted
ne attention Of both the city and
county branches Of the Democratic
party, but neither branch wishes to
assume the responsibility for the slow
work, and each is trying to shift the
burden 10 the other side, with the re-
suit that the Democratic machine has
been rumbling around the last few
days hike Q street car with a fat
wheel.
A few weeks ago The West Virgin.
ian called attention to the fact in a
kindly manner that the work Of the
Improvement Of the city streets was
not progressing with sufficient rap
idity. The Democrats at once set up
. cry that The West virginian was
only trying to knock the good work,
and that there was no Just ground
for complaint.
A representative was sent to the
city building. where he was informed
that any delay in getting the work
completed was due to the fact that
the property owners were not putting

Get the curbs In place in reasonable
langth Of time, and II the city has
JAILED to enforce the law-the city au-
Ihorittes can have no legitimate come
back.
Yesterday the Democratic organ
came out with a long story, substan-
Hadng the complaint registered by
The West virginian several weeks
ago, but endeavoring to place all the
blame on the county for the deplor-
able condition Of the city highways.
They set forth that the county o1i-
Gals are not sticking to the Job and
have not furnished a sufficient num-
Der OF men to enable the work to be
completed in q reasonable time.
The fact Of the matter is that both
he city and the county officials are
to blame for the condition which now
exists. The city is responsible to the
extent that they have not seen to it
that the curbs were in place at the
proper time; while the county is to
blame for not compelling the contrac.
tors 20 put on sufficient number Of
man to carry on the work faster.
The Democrats know full well that
they are alone to blame for the pres.
eat state Of the streets, but both the
county and the city officials are try
ing to abb themselves out OF the r..
sponsibility by putting the blame on
the other fellow.
! And while the two branches Of the
heal Democratic party are exchang.
ng shots. the citizens Of Fairmont are
waiting with what little patience they
have left for the completion of the
work II the county officials would
assume responsibility for their share
