SYRUP

The Enquirer has received from the
agricultural department a letter or
instructions rs to how to make a de-
licious syrup from watermelons, and
although it is somewhat late in the
season, perhaps it might be of inter-
est to some of our subscribers to get
hold Of this information, which is as
follows:
Remove the pink flesh and seeds
from the rind of sweet, fully ripe
melons. Crush the flesh with a potato
masher or by running 1t through a
meat chopper. Place the crushed pulp
and seed in cloth bags, and squeeze
out the juice, which flows out readily:
About hve-sixths of the pulp Will
squeeze out as juice. About thirteen
gallons of the juice will make one gal
Ion of syrup. This amount OF juice
can ordinarily be secured from ten
watermelons weighing from twenty
two to twenty-five pounds each.
The juice is then boiled down into
a syrup in an ordinary preserving ket-
tie. The juice bOils without much
foaming until it begins to thicken,
when the fire should be slackencd to
prevent foaming and burning. The
red coloring matter In the juice coag-
ulates during boiling and part of it
rises to the surface, where 1t can be

PROHIBITION ELECTION

So far very little interest has beer
shown in the prohibition election of
September IA in York county. A
number of Prohibitionists have been
doing what they could; but they have
not been able to awaken any appre-
cable enthusiasm.
The Enquirer some weeks ago sug-
gested the danger of the election be-
ing allowed to go by default and as
we see it the danger is as great no"
as it was then.
The local option people are pushing
an active campaign by means OF ad-
vertising in the newspapers. We re-
ceived a letter from them yesterday,
asking for advertising rates, and al

GALA WEEK AT CLOVER.

The three days entertainment ad-
Lvertlsed for Glover this week, were
begun this morning with a big pic
mic, ard a fair outlook for complete
success.
Large numbers of people came into
town from the surrounding country
this morning, having baskets Of good
things to eat, and shortly after noon
there was q bcuntiful picnic dinner on
the lawn of the Presbyterian church.
The Tirzah cornet band, which ar
rived this morning by way Of h c.
& NV. railroad, is dispensing fine
music which greatly pleases the
crowd.
The principal event on the pro-
gramme this morning was en- address

Information at noon was that al
most enough tickets had been sold
to relieve the guarantors Of the big
entertainment, and 1t was expected
that sales OF single admissions would
easily aggregate enough to defray all
expenses.

Mystery of Riaht Conduct.


In an address to his Bible class last
Sunday morning, Rev. ]. L. Oates,
| pastor Of the Yorkville Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian church, made
this statement:
1T is wrongs that We do to others
that make us hate them, and the
longer we allow those wrongs to con-
tinue without being righted, the more
bitterly we hate"
This doctrine is Numerically OPP
posed to the belief of ninety per cent
Of the people one meets in every day
intercourse, in that the general dispo-
sition is to hold that if we hate at all,
it is the wrongs that others do to us
that makes us hate them.
Careful consideration of the propo-
sition laid down by Rev. Mr.. Oates,
we think, is we'll calculated to bring
most we'll meaning people of reasona-
BILE thoughtfulness up against some
rather startling revelations as to prop
er conduct.
OF course it is not to be argued that
many Of us are prepared to obey the
injunction Of Christ and Love those
who despitefully use u.s." but u feel
ings toward such is not necessarily
hatred. 1t is more apt to be simply
that Of ~self-defense, that natural in
st~inctiveness that would avert a sec.
ond injury from the same source.
OF course where one Internationally
wrongs another the rule is to make
voluntary immediate reparation, and
in so doing escape the injury that
would otherwise accrue to himself on
account Of that wrong. The thing is
done i~nstinctively, and to explain the
underlying springs Of action would be
difficult. On the other hand, where
the injury is wrought Intentionally,
and usually such injuries are wrought
with the view Of promoting some real
or imaginary selfish interest, the scar
ing wound that is occasioned in the
soul and conscience of the one who
works the injury, grows deeper and
deeper as time wears on. 1t might be
natural to suggest that the reason of
this is a steadily growing fear of re-
taliation on the part Of the person
injured; but somehow that does not
seem TO explain. What we call the
psychology" of it does not show up
clearly 1t is quite possible, nay quite
probable, that the explanation lies
deeper than psychology" for all that
we know TO be really true in "psychol-
ogy." has more or less firm basis in
divine spiritual truth. 1t is conceded
by most people that all material as
well as spiritual laws have penalties
attached. do unto others as you
would have them do unto YOU" seems
to bear strongly on the point under
consideration. This is undoubtedly
the greatest of all spiritual laws, and
would it seem strange that violation
Of the greatest of all spiritual laws
should be punished by the greatest of
all spiritual penalties?

The final result of the European
war seems to hinge on the action of
Bulgaria. The first Balkan wal of. a
few years ago was fought between
Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and
Greece against Turkey. The under
standing was that Bulgaria was to
have Macedonia as her part of the
spoils. After Turkey was licked
Greece and Serbia demanded Of Bull
garia a part of her Macedonian terri
tory. Bulgaria refused to comply and
Greece and Serbia combined against
her, licked her badly and took her
territory. Roumania made Bulgaria
give up a part of her territory also as
a bride for keeping out of the war.
Now Greece. Serbia and Roumania
want to join the Allies; but they are
afraid to do because Bulgaria is not
willing to let it be known what she
will do. The Germans would like to
have the assistance of Bulgaria.; but
as Germany was a party to the ar
rangement by which the Bulgarians
were robbed Of the fruits of their for
mer victory, the Bulgarians do not
feel inclined to help Germany. The
most that the Germans and Austrians
seem to be hoping of the Bulgarians is
that they will continue to remain neu-
trail.

1t is said that Germany is willing to
take 5000, 900 bales of American cot
ton at a fair price if the American
government can or will guarantee de-
livery. This proposition, of course,
has due relation to England's action
in declaring cotton to be contraband
Of war. Germany wants America to
back up her protest against England's
action with force, if necessary. 1t is
hardly to be assumed that the Wash
ington government is going to do any
thing of the kind; but if the Washing
ton government should stand by
American rights on this subject, the
result would be a speedy end Of the
war. Our action would be to the ad-
vantage of Germany; but nevertheless
peace would soon be restored.
