Soft gingerbread.

One cup sugar, one cup New Orleans
molasses, one cup butter and lard mixed,
two eggs, one teaspoon each of ginger
and cinnamon, one level tablespoon
OF flour. Cream together the sugar and
the butter and lard mixture, add the
molasses, ginger and cinnamon; then
the hot water in which has been dis
solved the soda. Last of all add the
flour. This batter should be pretty
thin; but if it seems too thin, then add
a very little more flour. 1t is rather
difficult to give the exact amount of
flour, since the molasses often varies in
thickness. Bake this in long, shallow
pan. Serve while hot.
Hard Gingerbread.
One cup sugar, one cup molasses, one
cup butter and lard mixed, one cup sour
cream, one tablespoon each of soda and
ginger, one teaspoon cinnamon, one egg,
we'll beaten, pinch of salt. Cream to-
gether the sugar and butter and lard
mixture, then add the molasses, spice
and eggs. Dissolve the soda in little
lukewarm water and stir in. Add enough
flour to make dough that will roll out;
it should be about one-half an inch thick.
Place in creased pan and strew over
the top chopped almonds or any nut
nut meats, rolling them in lightly. Bake
in a moderate oven until nice brown.
The nuts can be omitted.
Ginger Pudding.
Mix with two cups stale bread crumbs
one cup suet, one cup molasses, half cup
raisins, one tablespoon ginger, and half
cup sweet milk. Put into a mold and
steam or boil for two hours. Serve with
good sauce.
Ginger Custard.
Scald one pint sweet milk in a double
boiler, add two-thirds cup OF sugar.
Beat four eggs very light, and gradually
pour the boiling milk over them, add one
teaspoon ginger essence and pinch OF
SALT Pour into buttered molds or cups,
and place these in a pan of hot water,
coming about two-thirds up on the cups.
Place in moderately hot oven and bake
until firm. Test with silver knife; if

DISEASED POTATOES NOT FIT
FOR SEED.

Only such potatoes as are free from
disease should be selected for planting
and care should be exercised to see that
the selected seed is true to type, ac-
cording to A. G. Tolaas of the University
Farm, St. Paul.
According to Prof. Tolaas number of
diseases, such as late-blight rot, fusariu1n
wilt, black-leg rot, scab and rhizoctonia,
may live over winter on the potatoes.
Tubers affected with late-blight rot, if
planted, may rot completely in the soil
or produce infected plants which serve
as source of general field infection
of late blight as soon as favorable
weather conditions occur. The fusarium
wilt is carried over in the tubers, form
ing brown ring discoloration at the
stem end. If considerable wilt was
present last year, the proper thing to do
IS to discard all seed tubers showing the
brown ring discoloration.
Tubers affected with black-leg rot,
when placed in storage, rot completely
and spread the disease to healthy pota-
toes by coming in contact with them.
The disease germs, when they come in
contact with bruised areas, will imme-
diately start rotting the tuber. On I'M
bruised tubers a film containing the
disease germs will form and dry. bruises
and cracks are favorable lodging places
for this disease. If considerable
amount of this rot is present in storage,
select only sound potatoes. Avoid all
bruised and cracked ones. The selected
tubers should be cut and treated in
formaldehyde, one pint to thirty gallons
of water, or in corrosive sublimate, four
ounces to. thirty gallons of water.
Tubers containing scab or rhizoctonia
| should be avoided for seed purposes. If
large amount of either one of these
diseases is present, select the cleanest
tubers and treat in corrosive sublimate
solution for one and one-half hours.
Selected and treated tubers should not
be planted on soil that produced diseased
potatoes the year before.

EARTH ROADS IN SPRING.
Drains and Side bitches Should, Be
Kept Open-Road, Drag Most
Useful at This Season.

The cardinal essential in spring mainte4
nance of earth roads, especially those on
heavy soils, is good drainage. So long as
the water can be kept from penetrating
deeply into these roads they will: remain
at least fairly passable. To accomplish
this on average earth roads, however, is
far from easy. During the early part OF
this season of the year rains are often OF
long duration and tend to- satlirate the
soil. Water from melting SHOWS is per-
haps even more penetrating than long
continued rains, while alternate freezing
and thawing of the wet surface tends to
increase the porosity of the soil and
permit even more ready access of water
into the foundation.
The chief attention of the road man
must therefore be directed toward getting
and keeping the water away from the road
and keeping the water away from the
road. So long as the foundation can be
kept dry, even a heavy freeze followed
by rapid thaw will do little or no real
damage to the road surface. A dry soil
does not heave. The foundation will
therefore still be solid, and the road will
be able to sustain the traffic without
serious rutting. On the other hand,
saturated soil expands greatly on freezing,
and when it thaws out has not only lost
practically all power of sustaining the
weight of traffic, but also is in an ideal
condition for taking up OF absorbing still

PAPER FAMINE AND PRICES

The price Of paper, which has ad-
vanced from 100 to 200 per cent or
more, over prices prevailing year
ago, seriously threatens the life Of
nu m Der of publications
throughout the country and greatly
lessons the profits of others.
1t is doubtful If any other large in
dustry in the United States has had
to face so serious situation, because
when prices of raw materials have
advanced the manufacturers Of the
finished products have advanced their
prices and thus thrown the burden on
the ultimate consumer. In the news
paper business this has not as yet
been done. The newspapers, from
the largest dailies to the smallest
weeklies, have been bearing the bur-
dens which to many publications will
mean complete destruction and to
many others the wiping out Of all
profit.
Had the newspapers of the coun-
try been as prompt to defend their
own interests as they have the inter-
ests of others, they too, would before
this have undertaken to save them
selves by an advance in subscription
price and in advertising rates. I'm
der existing conditions they will be
forced to do this sooner or later, and
they can not postpone 1t much lon
ger without serious financial embar-
rassment to many Of them. Hun
dreds Of the smaller weeklies, includ-
ing the religious papers, which have
had but a very narrow margin be-,
tween loss and profit, will, we fear,
suffer most seriously, and many Of

weakest link; any nation is crippled
which does not possess and control
an adequate fuel supply. The fifty
three million acres of coal land con-
tanning four hundred and fifty bill
lion tons of coal, still in public own
ership, is an estate belonging to the
American people Of inestimable val
ue. So we'll has the Wilson admin
istration conserved this great asset
that the most fault-fnding opponent
finds no ground for criticism of it.
The recent great development in
the use of oil as motive power in
ships, automobiles, air-ships and
various other engines has made 1t i'm
perative that the five million acres
of oil land still in public possession
be most carefully conserved. The
Wilson administration, with true and
patriotic foresight, has established
naval reserves in the far west, so that
now and in the far future our navy,
our industries and our homes are as
sured of an adequate oil supply. No
longer are valuable oil lands passed
to patent at dollar and quarter an
acre.
How different is this from the Taft
administration? The Ballinger scan
| dals in the west, the Guggenheim
scandals in Alaska, the water site,
coal land and oil land grabs on all
sides are fresh in the minds Of the
people. But no whisper or scandal
or even carelessness or inefficiency is
heard of the Wilson administration.
What has been said of the other
public lands is true of the two million
seven hundred and eighty thousand
acres of phosphate lands, which con-
tain roughly twenty billion tons Of
phosphate easily worth ninety billion
dollars and available to American
| farmers for fertilization purposes.
Here, too, the Wilson administration
has exercised the same vigilance and
care and there is the same absence of
criticism.
Alaska, that wonderful store-house
of riches, was by preceding admins
trations first maltreated, then neg
lected. There were the Guggenheim
frauds and scandals. Coal, timber
and oil lands, harbor and wharfage
sites were frittered away with no con-
Germ for the rights Of the hundred
million Americans who owned them.
Then when public opinion became
outraged, this regime of waste and
exploitation was succeeded by a
period of stagnation, and Alaska was
locked up, its resources unused, its
growth stopped. 1t fairly began to
wither and die.
But with the Wilson administra-
ton came a change and an awaken

A NOCTURNAL AWAKENING IN
THE WOODS

Perfumes, too, affect one strangely,
on waking in the depth Of night.
There is certain decayed wood in
the forest, which at times gives forth
delivate, far reaching aroma. This
together with the occasional watts
of sweet gum odor and the peculiarly
sharp smell of pine resin, steals
through the woodland ways and
touches the sleepers' senses until he
slowly awakes. Drowsily he lies,
with his eyes lightly closed, noting
the tender shades of sweetness as
they come and go. But the falling
of slight shower of rain, one of
those short, light, even downcomings
of large drops, which is not strong
enough to break through the leafy
canopy overhead, moves the outdoor
slumber to most exquisite enjoyment.

them disastrously, unless the public
promptly recognizes the situation and
accepts an advance in subscription
and saves the situation.
The day laborer, the mechanic, the
farmer and nearly all the business in
terests, manufacturing and mercan-
tile, under the activity of the times,
are showing larger earnings than for
years. But the newspapers, as a
whole, are meeting more perplexing
problem in doubling, and in some
cases the trebling, of the price of
paper, and in the absolute inability
to contract in advance for supplies,
than they have ever had to face be-
fore. The statements which have re-
Gently appeared in the daily papers
on the subject do not at all exagger-
ate the seriousness of the problem

The national parks spell health

Under the national parks service law,

PRESERVING THE PEOPLES
HERITAGE

There is no need to argue the
question of Conservation to the
American people; they are educated
to its importance and alive to its ne
cessity. 1t is attempted in this short
article only to show how thoroughly
the present Democratic administra-
ton has guarded the heritage of the
whole people from exploitation mad
usurpation by the few and passed or
inaugurated legislation which will
preserve and make useful to the
whole nation our public domain.
The nation, in spite of the ire
mendous waste under Republican adj
-ministrations, is still rich in natural
resources and has vast property in
-terests to be protected. Seven hun
dred million acres Of unentered, un-
approved land still remain in public
ownership Some Of it is mountain
land, some semiarid, some almost to-
tai waste land. The Wilson policy is
that this vast domain shall be used
for the advancement and good of the
whole people, not the enrichment Of
the few. 1t shall be made habitable
and turned into American homes.
The Homestead Law, which has
passed the House, is now on the SEN
ate calendar and will soon become a
law, enlarges the homestead unit
from 100 to $40 acres, so that an
American farmer will find it possible
to go upon this land and establish an
American home. Thus will the waste
places be made glad and homes take
the place of wildernesses.
There is thirty-five million poten-
tial horsepower Of hydro-electric en-
ergy in the United States, six mil
lion developed and in use, twenty
nine million running idly to the sea.
OF this last the Interior Department
administers upon about twenty-five
million, and about seven million is
under the jurisdiction of the War De-
partment. But all of it under the
determined policy Of President Will
son is being conserved and developed
for the use of present and coming
generations of Americans. The lax
laws, the lack Of proper laws, the
faulty administration, the exploita-
ton and waste of our public domain,
all have been remedied and stopped.
A timberless nation is weak at a
vital point. The one hundred and
sixty-five million acres of forest re-
serves, which must furnish this and
succeeding generations of Americans
an adequate timber supply, have been
vigorously protected and conserved
by the Wilson administration. No
longer are there timber thievery,
frauds and depredations.
