PLANKED FISH

Planking is one of the easiest ways
of cooking fish. Every household
should have a good sound, thick, oak
or hickory plank; these can be made
by anyone who is handy about the
house." The plank should be at least
two inches thick and oblong in shape.
Size must depend upon the oven in
which it is to be used.
A groove should be made all round
about an inch from the outside of
the plank and at one end a well
should be made to allow the juices
and butter to run in from all sides.
This makes the basting of the fish
easy.
To season" the plank one must
grease it with any good dripping or
fat and place the board under OF over
a very slow fire; allow to heat slowly
and as the grease soaks into the
board apply more. The wood should
become brown but use great care not
to char it. When cleaning the plank
do not submerge in water. Scrape
the particles of fish from the plank,
then rub it with coarse salt until
all grease and odor disappears, then
wipe with cloth dampened with very
hot water, dry and set in air for sew
eral hours.

As The Editor Sees Il,

If you want to kill the prosperity OF
this towr, if you want to make it fnan.
cially hard up, if you want to bust it,
just keep right on sending your money
to outside firms and especially to the
mail order man.
IF you want to make Christmas O
mockery in this town, if you want to
contribute your share toward pauper-
izing the business interests of this COM
munity, just keep right on sending
yonr money to other places and you
will succeed.
If you want to decrease the value Of
your town property or Of your farm, if
you want to make local conditions such
that no one would risk buying your
/, property. just keep right on patroniz-
ing mail order men and other foreign
concerns and you will wipe out your
own accumulations of years.
But if you dou't want to do these
things-if you are in reality what you
profess to be, a good citizen-Buy 1t
At Home This Christmas, and keep
prosperity in this town.
Every day good citizens are telling
US they are convinced that it is to their
own interest to buy as much as posi-.
BILE this Christmas from our own
merchants. because they realize that
the profits from the sales must be kept
at home. We think that at heart you,
too, are good citizen, if YOU will only
stop t. consider what a blow YOU are
giving YOUR home town when you send
your money to outside sources. Why
don't you tell US that you are going TO
buy it at home this Christmas if it is
possible to get it here.
OF course, if you must have some
thing that is not sold in this town then
you are excusable if you buy it else
where. But you can buy most any,
thing you want right here in this town
from our own merchants, from people
who are your sincere friends and
whose heavy taxes on their business
enterprises make your taxes that much
lighter.
We appeal to every citizen in this
communicative appeal to you-to help
keep prosperity 10 our own town by
buying your Christmas goods from our
own business men.
We are appealing to Your better nat
ure-of your loyalty-to your own in-
terests-when we ask you to join US in
keeping prosperity at home, where
each and every one of US may enjoy its
blessings.
We are firm in the conviction that
you will do this, because we believe
you are good citizen and are more

There is no doubt Of the outcome.

had consistently broken the rules Of
civilized warfare. General French re-
piled: "Yes, In many Instances their
conduct has been bad, very bad. !

II seemed to depend on the COM
manders. II the comma nder approves
the outraees they occur"
General French paid tribute TO the
Germans bravery.
