cut into round cakes and bake hard
in a very moderate oven. This recipe
will make a large number of cookies,
but they will keep we'll for weeks
if left alone-and for delicate children
they are very much better than the
richer kinds, as even the most deli
cate stomach can retain and digest
them.
Caraway Cookies.
Rub one-half cup of butter to a
cream with one cup of powdered sugar,
and when light beat in the yolks of
three eggs. Beat the whites stiff and
add them alternately with two cups of
we'll sifted flour. Stir in one heaping
teaspoon of caraway seeds and enough
more flour to enable you to roll it out
very thin. Cut into rounds and bake
quickly in hot oven.
Peanut Cookies.
This recipe calls for one cup of but
ter, one and half cups of powdered
sugar, half a teaspoon of salt, three
eggs, one cupful of freshly roasted
peanuts (pounded and rolled to a
coarse powder) and about three cups
of dry we'll sifted flour. Cream the
butter and sugar, add the beaten eggs,
salt and flour, and last of all, the
crushed peanuts. The dough should
be just stiff enough to handle easily.
Drop the dough by spoonfuls upon a
Toured board; pat it into round cakes
with the fingers, crate little nutmeg
over the top of each cake and bake.
A novelty this, and one that is likely
to be a great favorite with all who
taste it.

EASTER-TIDE.

And now the world takes up the
struggle of life with new zest and new
hope and new expectation of success.
Heaven is true. Men are noble. Work
is worth doing. Living is grand.
Time and talent are factors inviting
opportunity and now the impulse to
act seeks to effect the greatest pur-
pose.
And thus all are heartened up to
renewed accomplishment and what
each one must do is to study out ones
own work in particular and to see
how 1t can be enhanced. There are
difficulties in everyone's career.
Strangely enough. the very purpose to
do right awakens opposition. Imper-
feet doors resist the impulse given by
a more enterprising nature than their
own. Therefore they forecast and
often try to bring about the failure of
people who wish to or can, or may,
do more than themselves. Inferior
or ignoble or deficient people are
intolerant self-worshipers. They
don't want to be outshone and out.
done. It is strange to what an un-
natural degree this hideous sprig of
selfishness can develop. Members of
the same family will discourage each
others plans and even parents will
grow MORALLY jealous of the superior
plans of their children, clinging to
their own old methods because they
cannot admit better way.
The greatest obstacle in the way of
the noble doer of anything is antagon-
ism of those who didn't think Of it
and couldn't do it. Realizing this is a
sore test in the belief in human nobil-
ity. The success Of selfish people is
positive shock to faith in Divine
supervision of things. To breast and
to surmount these phases Of thought
the enterprise-worker must take up
his plans with full apprehension of
what his fellow creatures and of what
even the Lord may do. The former
may persistently try to spoil all his
progress and the latter may seemingly
abandon him to his fate until life
seems an absolute slavery. Saddest
of all is the case of those good people
who have family trouble they can
never speak Of. Try as they may to
impress the ungrateful nature they
live with, they may simply fare the
worse for it. Their Easter renewal
of life must make them strong indeed
and they must lay up for themselves
great stores of heavenly wisdom and
acquire greater facility for practical
doing. Real, actual work done in the
light of superior motive and noble
self-assertion, positively shown, how
ever sweetly enacted, will greately as
sist the nature WHICH would really
achieve good things. Let the Easter
season bring the blessing Of such
spiritual strength.

holding a strong place in the wardrobe
of the woman Of today. The waists are
usally trim and tailored in their lines,
and the skirt should be short and far
ing around the lower edge, while the
shoes of sand, gray, black or tan
should lace up the side instead Of the
front.
Large white linen or pique collars,
with cuffs to match, are charming
worn over the simple waist Of gray or
black, giving the effect Of Puritan or
a Quaker costume. Gray taffeta is
used for one dress, with skirt tucked
in large tucks in the back; while the
front, which commences at the hips,
is perfectly plain. The full waist is
topped with large unstarched linen
collar, and the long, close-fitting
sleeves have gauntlets to match the
collar.
Some waists are made with square
or oval opening in front-something
like the shape of mans shirt bosom,
only not so deep. A tucked or pleated
front of white organdy, with round
collar fitting neatly over the back, Is
used for chemisette in these waists.
Children's clothes, from the little
tots to the juniors, show the simplest
of lines. Linen is used again and again
in blue, white, and the soft shades of
rose and tan which are so smart. One
dress which was worn by 12-year-
old girl was of soft shade of rose. A
little long-sleeved bolero jacket was
cut with square corners, each one en-
broidered with a simple design Of the
same color. A pleated skirt hung
from high waist-linen, while the
daintiest of batiste blouses merely
peeped from underneath the tiny
jacket. 4 ~U

of Dutch blue chiffon broadcloth made
with an Empire waist and pleated
skirt. A wide braided belt was worn
over the joining Of waist and skirt,
and was stitched at the top only. leav-

APPEAL ON PRIMARY

The appeal from the decision of
Judge Taylor in the Richards prim-
ary case is soon to be reviewed by
the supreme court, and as the details
of the next campaign will be mater
tally affected by whatever the deci-
sion of the supreme court may be.
If the suprrme court should sustain
the holdings of Judge Taylor, then
there will be no campaign in this state
until next spring, for the June prim-
ary. Ii the Taylor decision should
be reversed, the Richards act would
again be in force, and the campaign
would be on with a whirlwind for the
county proposal meetings in Decem-
Der to select the representatives at
the state proposal meeting the first
Tuesday in January, whore the ma
jority and minority candidates of the
different parties are to be settled. A
reversal would mean only few
weeks to shape up for for the whole
campaign, and they would be busy
ones among the politicians of the
state.

COOPERATIVE
GRAIN ELEVATORS

With from sixty to seventy million
bushels of wheat to market this fall and
other cereal crops in proportion the
farmers of this state are facing most
serious situation. This enormous out
put of grain can not be moved without
the available railway facilities even il
the farmers were ready to sell at the
present depressed prices, and there is
not storage capacity enough to accom-
modate twenty per cent of the crop.
What is to be done? What can be done
to relieve the situation? Nothing can
be done this fall, but we hope the nee
cessities of the present will open path
for future action. The farmers must
get together and build co operative
storage elevators. 1t is necessary to
properly store crop as it is to properly
harvest it. What does it avail farm
er il he produces bumper crop and for
wanttof storage room is compelled to
sell it to the first buyer, no matter how
low the price? A plan should be decid-
ed upon which will eliminate the mid
dleman and enable the farmer to have
something to say as to when he shall
sell his grain and for what price.

DOLLAR BASIS OF EXCHANGE

Washington, d. c.. Sept. 1.-THE
time has come, in the opinion of the
federal reserve board, when the Ameri-
can dollar will take the dominating
place in the financial markets of the
world, when the American dollar or
exchange should become the medium
of payment of millions of dollars worth
of exports and imports. To open the
field for this the American exchange
board has issued revised regulations
governing the rediscount of bankers
,acceptances or exchange by reserve
banks. The statement declares the
United States bank facilities should be
used carrying the import and export
transaction with foreign countries.

TAFT REMEMBERS

In an address delivered at Seattle
last week, ex President Taft square
ly enunciated the principles of the
republican party and urged upon re-
pnblicans, democrats and progressives
to hoist their party colors and stand by
them.
He did not believe in electing pro-
gressives under the pretense that they
were republicans any more than he
believed in electing democrats under
the pretense that they were something
else. Addressing himself to this topic,
Mr.. Taft said:
Ii he is democrat let him seek
democratic support and well respect
him. If he is progressive, let him
seek progressive support. We may
wonder at the variety and inconsistency
of his many principles and vote against
him and them, but we will respect him
for playing the game fairly and dealing
squarely with those whom he seeks to
make his constituents. But when he
proposes to be a republican and by the
same arts as those of thimble rigger
and by the votes of democrats and pro-
gressives cast in republican primaries
he attempts to masquerade as a repub-
lican on = arepublican official ticket, he
should be taught lesson in political
} asrality that he will not soon forget.

HILL FAvORs BIG LOAN

New York, Sept. ID. With the arriv-
al here today of James j. Hill, railroad
financier, the Anglo French American
capitalists began formal negotiations
for the biggest loan the world has ever
seen. None would discuss the probable
amount, but estimates ran all the way
from $500, 1000, 900 to 81, 900 900, 600. Hill
is said by his friends to be heartily in
favor of the loan because that unless
the loan is made Americas s bumper crop
year will be the hardest in history.
1t is thought that syndicate of bank
ers, embracing every part of the United
States, will underwrite it and offer it to
the public.

GRAIN YIELDS ARE wHoPpERs

For once, the small grain yields in
South Dakota, rs shown by the actual
threshing machine test, are above the
estimates made on the fields before
cutting. the yields all being above
normal. The biggest yield of wheat
go far reported comes from the west
river country, where Mrs. Judy of
Strool, Perkins county, secured fifty
two bushels per acre from two acre
tract, which was planted in potatoes
the previous year. Another report
from west river is almost up to that
record, where twenty acres of winter
wheat threshed 40 bushels to the acre
on the farm of Hal Follett in Meade
county. Fred Follett in the same
vicinity, secured 10s bushels Of oats
to the acre from field of twenty
acres and Frank Edwards, also q
Meade county farmer, secured thirty
two bushels of spring wheat to the
acre from a tract OF eighteen acres.
The biggest yield of oats yet recorded
is from Hand county, where the ma
chine record rolled up 120 bushels to
the acre, and this appears to be about
as high as any of them have been able
to show.
The past few days have not been
good for the corn crop in this section,
being cold and misty. when warm
weather is needed to mature lot of
corn yet.

HARVEST OF 1914
EcLIPsED BY rs

All records for grain production in.
the United States have been excelled.
The government September crop
report, issued estimated the yield Of
wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley at
o'o4l 100000 bushels, an increase Of
94,ee0,ooe bushels over the August
returns, and gain Of COS, ,0OO. 900
bushels. or IA per cent, over the final
returns last year.
The three leading grains--wheat.
corn and oats-will reach 5,374. 900. 600
bushels, according to the federal re-
port.
The Department of Agricultural
sticks to the 1000, 900 900 bushei
wheat crop theory, and its latest estt-
mate of 9s1 100000 bushels is within
Is, oo,Ooo bushels of that mark.
Well informed grain traders and
growers believe that the wheat crop
will exceed 1000, 100000 bushels.
They base that opinion on the govern
ment statement that spring wheat in
creased 100000 bushels during
August to total of 322, 900, 900 BUSH
els on Sept. l. These figures indi-
cate lle,ooo.oo0 bushels in excess Of
last years harvest, while threshing
returns indicate larger yield per
acre than the government condition
figures forecast. The weld indicaf
by the government is 16.S bushels an
acre, five bushels an acre raore than
last year.
The three northwestern states have
253, 100000 bushels of spring wheat,
an increase of IA, 1000, 900 bushels dur
ing last month, and of practically
100. 900, 900 bushels over last year.
The exportable surplus of all wheat
is more than 1000. 900 bushels, tho

REPEAL OF INITIATED LAWS

(From Law Notes published at North
port, N. Y.:) Does the power of the
people to make a law carry an implica-
tlon of exclusive power to repealit?
Judge Alva E. Taylor, of the circuit
court for Beadle county, South Dakota,
says not, In an action to enjoin the
enforcement of So 18th Dakota's new
primary law, which repealed the Rich
ards primary law, enacted by the peo-
pie of the state under the initiative in
1912. Judge Taylor holds the new law,
and therefore the repeal of the old,
valid. The ground of his decision seems
to be that all the sovereign powers of
state not taken away by its constitu-
tion reside in the legislature, and hence
that since the constitution does not pro-
hibit the legislature from repeating an
initiated law it may do so. We are not
advised as to how Judge Taylor dispos-
ed of the claim-which undoubtedly
must have been made by the plaintiff
that power in the legislature to repeal
it so totally inconsistent with the theory
of the initiative that the two cannot
coexist. Perhaps he concluded that
there was no such inconsistency. But,
however that may be, his decision GER
tainly raises an unique question. the
final answer to which will be awaited
with more than ordinary interest
throughout the country. If the court
that gives this answer can and will con-
slider the history. aim and purpose of
the initiative, it might be argued that
there could be but one result, viz: A
reversal of Judge Taylor's holding.

1t isn't at all incorporating the
country to talk most about the big
gest grain yields for these yields are
the result of methods of farming
which all may initiate. If one of our
farmers raised 100 bushels of oats, as
bushels of wheat, IS bushels of bar
ley per acre, other farmers could have
done as well by using similar
methods.

TO FLOAT BIG LOAN

An Anglo French financial CON.
mission is in session in New York
trying to float mammath loan for
England, France, Russia and Italy.
Failure to float the loan, in the opin-
ion Of the commission, would result
in the heavy curtailment of orders
for war munitions. The argument
discourages the loan. The United
States is the only country that can
furnish the munitions. II the coun-
tries at war are able to pay for the
munitions only with money borrow
ed from the United States. they are
not desirsble customers.
