The PeopIe Paw.

The people of the United States are
paying war prices for great many ar
ticles of everyday use because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words, they are having a prac-
teal demonstration at so much per of
the Democratic free-trade idea. The
idea is that we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest. 1t may have worked
in the old days, but it doesn't work
now, because all the cheap sources of
supply are closed. If the old Repub-
ican idea of protecting industry in our
own country had been followed con-
sistently for the last ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy in the production Of all these
things, and our people would be able
to purchase them at reasonable prices.
Right now the mistake of abandoning
the theory of protection is costing the
people of this country more thana 1t
costs any European nation to do Its
part In the war.-Yakima Republic.

DAIRY FARMER LOSES MONEY
Little MateriaI-Herd Helps Keep
Up Fertility of Soil.

How can dairy farmer lose money
on his cows and still make living?
The answer is easy. The farmer raises
most of his feed and probably buys
very little material not raised on the
farm to assist him in feeding appetiz-
ing balanced rations. He has the herd
to assist him in keeping up the fertil-
ity of the soil and spends little if any
money for commercial fertilizers. 1t
results in a small profit on the farm,
but profit is made on feed raised and
not on the dairy cattle that consume
1t.
The farmer who is losing money on
dairy cattle, but yet making living
on his farm might possibly make more
money if he sold the feed, used fer
tilizer to keep up the fertility Of his

MAKING UP LUNCH BASKET
Appetixing Picnic Meat just 40 Easy
to Prepare as One That 10 Apt
to Become Messy"

| The holiday season means the picnic
season, weather permitting. and the
lunch basket stands out prominently
in successful picnic preparations. A
well-prepared, carefully packed lunch
means contented plcnickers. but there
is nothing more disappointing than to
open the lunch basket and find every
thing crushed and messy" with a
little care to preparation, however,
this need not happen. There are many
little ways of putting things up that
will carry them in appetlzing form.
For Instance cake and pie combined
may be made by lining pasty pans
with pie crust and then filling them
with a cake batter and baking them.
They are much less apt to crush In the
packing than the ordinary little cup
cakes, and children love them.
Or loaf cake may be baked in a
tin cracker box. If this is done do
not take it from the box. Just ice it
and put on the cover and u will ar
rive in perfect condition.
Cream cakes are easily packed A
Jar of cream filling can be carried or
one of creamed chicken If there is
any way to heat 1t. The puffs filled
with this will be great favorites.
Iced tea can be made Of cold water
as well as Of hot. Simply measure the
tea into an earthen dish, pour over It
the cold water. cover. and let stand
for an hour. One never gets the slight
est bitter taste In tea made this way.
The lemon Juice mixed with the sugar
may be carried In bottle.
There is no need of taking dishes
that have to be washed and carried
home again. With paper napkins and
cardboard boxes, one can improvise q
very good picnic table with strong en-
velopes rolled for cups; or there can
be had from a store, for a very small
outlay. a package of paper or fiber
plates, cups, napkins and spoons. that
can be thrown away when they have
been used. They are lighter and less
bulky to carry than the home table
ware.

Ono way to take the hot weather
is to stew, fret, fan yourself and
force your neighbor into company
with your misery by asking him as
it hot enough for youP" Another
way is to take it as an adventure. To
be prepared for meeting the heat,
YOU should drink no liquor, eat mod
erately and reduce your clothing to
or, if your courage is great, below,
the minimum prescribed by GUS
tom. :
The adventure itself is to prove
yourself superior to the heat. Man,
the master, can live in both hot and
cold climates. His progress is
marked by ever-increasing fear of
things outside of himself, and ever
increasing dominion over another.
His being spiritual and eternal
most people call it nowadays-cowers
no more. Look upon the sun and its
warmth-pretty well tempered to us
as the friend, and not the tor
mentor of humanity.
This establishment of friendly
relation with the source of heat
waves helps some. But it is not
enough. There is left the necessity
for calling upon your inner strength
to meet the heat and prove yourself
the better in the encounter. You may
not win. But you will be calmer and
more self-respecting, and ''feel bet
ter" if you attempt the mastery than
if you sink down at the first APP
