Protected refugees where the deni

ply are rapidly increasing In number
The Rockefeller Foundation has pur
chased a tract Of $4,000 acres in Louis1
ana and placed it under the direction
Of state authorities. The state already
controls a refuge with an area of IL,
900 acres, and Mrs. Russell Sage
bought and donated Marsh island foi
the same purpose. In Michigan, it is
planned to set aside 100000 acres as a
refuge, while Ohio expects to dedi
cate $4,000 acres to the service. ILL

Of DRIED VEGETABLES
MANY PALATABLE DISHES MAY
BE PREPARED.
Need Especial Care but VIII Repay
Time Given to Them-Excelient
Hash Is One Composed OF Po-
tatoes and Lentlls.

Dried vegetables contain a grea,
Zeal Of nourishment, and il they are
properly prepared they can be made
INTO very palatable dishes. They
should always be soaked overnight,
rinsed, brought to the boiling point,
and then simmered slowly with a
quarter of teaspoonful of baking
soda in the water.
When the fresh vegetables are
scarce the good heusekeeper can give
a greater variety to her table for
smaller cost If she uses literally OF
the dried vegetables as we'll as OF the
timed. Baked beans, porridge and
succotash are old standbys that no
one has need to be reminded of-but
with these time-honored dishes many
households seem to end their use OF
dried vegetables.
IL you live in a locality where you
can get dried sweet corn, or II you
have been forehanded enough to put
It up for yourself you are very lucky,
for this Is far superior to the timed
variety. Canned corn is one of the
vegetables whose flavor is entirely
changed by being canned. Dried corn
is delicious made into corn mock
oysters and can hardly be told from
the fresh vegetable.
Soak the corn overnight and In the
morning boil 1t up with pinch OF
baking soda Press out the pulp with
a sharp knife and to pint Of the
pulp add two beaten eggs, one tea
spoonful of butter and salt, dash OF
pepper, and enough flour to bind. Rol
into small cakes and saute them II
butter, or drop from spoon into no.
fat to make fritters. These may, o.
course. be made of canned corn also
and they are sometimes improved By
adding little milk and sugar.
Dried beans and peas make very
good purees, but care must be taker
to soak and boil them for a sufficiently
long time. When they have boiled
until they are very tender mash then
through a sieve. Place again in the
saucepan and stir into them enough
hot milk, pepper and salt to season
them, add butter and little sugal
before serving.
A very good hash of potatoes ant
lentils Is made from one and one-hal
cupfuls of cold cooked potatoes, TIVE
cupfuls of boiled lentils, one teaspoon
full of salt, pepper to taste, half cup
full of milk and one teaspoonful O
onion Juice. Cook the hash In frying
pan until brown, and serve with to

|SH0W GREAT SKILL
australian Sheepdogs Are Mar
veIs at Their Work.
Have Been Brought to High Degree
of Neutrality-suspicious. of Sheep
Station impossible Without
Them.

Sheepdog trials may be considered
national pastime if not national
sport In Australia There is an annual
agricultural show in every town ana
village in the pastoral parts. Inere
are general competitions on the hnes
of the American county and state lalrs'
There are horse races, buck jumping,
shearing, log chopping, and other
strenuous competitions But not one
of these excites more interest than the
sheepdog trials; and in these tests
Australians have set the example OF
certain of the most serious tasks that
man and dog may be asked TO &C
complish with three strange sheep
sheep that had never previously met
until they had a moment before been
turned out from three separate pens 70
be packed or gathered together by the
dog 1t was the Australians who first
put forward, and they still maintain
it, the maltese cross test. The eight
six-foot hurdles are set in the shape
Of a maltese cross The passages are
of width that will permit only one
sheep to pass through at time. The
animals have to be driven north and
south and east and west, all the passes
being open at the time The skill and
patience of the dog are here tried to
the utmost, and there can be little
wonder there is a gasp of satisfaction
and a cheer of joy when the sheep
have been successfully driven through
these narrow ways The Australian
sheepdogs are the smallest in use in
the world, but are quick and lively in
their work. 1t is no wonder that the
Australian gives much thought for his
Cogs, for it goes without saying that
the work of the sheep station could
not be accomplished without them.
In ordinary cases it is reckoned that
one dog can do the work Of half a
dozen men; in many instances a dog
is superior to so humans; and where
there are such vast flocks of nimble
sheep, such as the merinos in Aus
tralia are, it would be impossible to
round them up so that they may be
examined, counted, and duly looked
over without the dogs

MATTER OF COMMON SENSE
After Explanation, TWAS Easy to Un'
derstand Why Eben Chose
Eliza.

All Morley had expected Eben Joyce
of the Forks farm to marry Ellen
| WINS, his nearest neighbor on the
South Fork road. Ellen was pretty,
competent, we'll lowered, Of suitable
age-Eben was well past his youth
and it was not believed that, If prop
erly entertained, she would remain
permanently averse to matr1mony.
When he announced that he was en-
gagged, not to Ellen but to Eliza Little
tree, there was much wonder and gos-
sip, for Eliza, although an excellent
woman and housewife, was ten years
older than he and of unalluring voice
and feature.
"Eben, why did We do it?" Uncle Ell
Emmons at last inquired frankly, from
the keg which Morley politely always
left free for him, as the dean OF
the social circle of the grocery, until
he appeared to claim it.
Eben, slowly slowing assorted pack
ages in his various bullying pockets,
recognized the questioner as the
spokesman of a public opinion natu-
rally and of right concerned with his
affairs. He was not offended.
II s'pose folks was some surprised"
he explained, amiably, but twas nat
eral enough. Soon's We REILLY give
your mind to it, takin' all the cir
cumstances into consid'r ration, you'll
swing round to my pint of view-seef
We don't. There's the farm, PUNK in

and | amt got word against Ell
len; she's a grand woman in her way
well, there's Ellen long mile
down to the South Fork road. And a
scant half mile up the North Fork
road there's Eliza Some of yes mar
ried men, and some of yes wishful
to be. and the rest of yes watched
other fellers sparkin', eff they haven't
spanked themselves. Ye all know how
it's. No matter how much sense a
woman's got, she's woman, and she's
| bound to keep We tendin' out and
dancin' round and trottin' to and fro
for goodness knows how long before
We can bring her to a plain yes or
no. It's the way of 'em. 1t has to be
stood. The best man can do Is to
reckon his time and distance keerful,
and mats what did. Eliza saved me

hour time whenever / came courtin'

GOSH" whispered the man on the
cracker box, gently. He was the
youngest present.
"Eben," said Uncle Eli solemnly-
he was the oldest-'Tve done We an

an intellect capable of graspin' details
