TALKS ABOUT POLITICS

Herald:
AS you may recall, ! wrote you
just on the eve of the election ex-
pressing my dire apprehension, that,
my luck. would change the political
complexion of Washington.
Well it was changed sure enough,
but am persuaded that there were
other things that wrought the
change, than my luck.
When Mr.. Hughes spoke here to an
immense crowd in the Stadium, he
lost for himself hundreds of Repub-
lican votes, by bitterly arraigning
Wilson without laying down his
own hand.
He lost thousands Of Republican
votes by snubbing Senator Poindxter,
the Progressive, and added fuel to
the flames of discomfort when he
went down into California, and snub-
bed johnson.
To cap the climax, the "Golden
Special" came laundering in bearing
the "silk stocking alimony brigade"
bringing commands from the far east
to the Puget Sound woman, to vote
her straight" for Hughes. and the
women went for Hughes straight,
but in a different way from what
they were commanded to do.
Now that the election is over it
is well enough to speak Of these
things, so as the next time the man.
ayers will know better.
am patting myself on the back,
because my voting precinct, in which
l was member of the election
board, went for Hughes.
Although Hughes only had ono
more vote in my precinct, than Will
son had, that sounds good when you
know it was about the only precinct
in the county that Hughes carried, all
of which goes to show that my polit-
ical Jinx was off his job.
Guess I'll have to come back to
Colorado, and Join the Democrats, to
help the Republicans out.
AS the chances seem good that It
will not be very long. until l will be
back in Colorado, temporarily, at
least, will say in advance Will
while there eschew politics and no.
body need get scared.
Things are beginning to look good
for Tacoma now, and doubtless she
will flourish like a green bay tree
before another year passes away.
Within the last month or 30 several
large enterprises have passed from
hope to fruition, the very latest be-
ing great plant for building steel
steamers, that will give . thousand
or more mss smplsymsaA

Another just approaching certain
ty, is an immense steel plant, and so
they materialize one after another.
Its almost exclusively Tacoma
money too, that's manifesting its un>
wavering faith in the wonderful fu-
ture Of the city with the greatest
harbor in the world.
Speaking Of Tacoma money. there
seems to be "oodles" of it, as the
bank statements of conditions at
close of business Nov. II, 1916 show
that together the eight banks have
on deposit $25,069, ,739.12. OF this
amount the National bank of Taco
ma, has on deposit S1o,374, ,3O9.78.
With kind regards,

PUT QUESTION BACK TO PAPA
Small Boy Rather Had the Best o.
Joke Initiated by the Head Of
the Family.

Theodore Chaplin, the young son OF
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Chaplin Of 2440
North Talbot, has wisdom far beyond
his actual six years of existence.
Theodore is just recovering from an
attack OF typhoid fever, and, natural
ly has been placed on a limited diet,
which, by the way. he observes with
remarkable fortitude. One evening
recently he was invited out for din
ner by young friend. and on his re-
turn home. Mrs. Chaplin asked him
what he had to eat. He began slowly
to enumerate those things which the
family doctor had given him permis-
sion to eat, but, with true mother in
stinct. Mrs. Chaplin knew that he had
omitted one thing. She knew that
there was one thing that her son was
passionately fond OF, and that was
fried potatoes, which the doctor had
sa.d should not be eaten.
''Now. Theodore. you hnd some fried
potatoes also, didn't you?" asked the
mother.
-well. yes. believe we did" he
reluctantly confessed. and after n few
minutes, he looked up and said: "r1i
tell you. II takes a feller with lots OF
brains to get ahead Of my mother"
Mrs. Chaplin told her husband OF the
conversation, and next morning, ai
the breakfast table. the father looked
at Theodore and said: "rll tell you,
II takes a feller with lots of brains to
get ahead of mother
The young son looked up quickly,
and, with n knowing twinkle In his
eye, asked: "Now, pop. what have
you been irving to put over on herr"

A Real Economy.

The saving OF drippings is a very
wise economy. "Dripplngs" come from
the fat that cooks from the roast, that
Is skinned from the soup pot, that
fries out OF different meats or that is
left on the trimmings OF the meat from
the butcher. These scraps OF fat meat
should be put together in a saucepan
with cold water, or cover them and
simmer till the meat is cooked TO
pieces. Set away to cool and the fat
will rise TO the top In a cake which
can be lifted of. Turn this into a
saucepan with whatever drippings you
may have on hand, add two cupfuls
boiling water and boil uncovered for
an hour; then throw In a teaspoonful
of salt and put the saucepan away. Let
stand till there is a solid cake of fat
on top; remove this, which makes the
best kind Of fat for frying.

There r. profit in keeping a good
poultry flock. This Was shown By a
flock Of white LeghOrn pullets az the
University Of Missouri. Prom 90 10 90
birds were housed In an Open front
poultry house with a yard 100 feet
square which was sOeed TO wheat in
the fall. This furnished green food in
the late fall and early spring and was
not charged against their feed bill.
In a years time the fowls consumed
2.Gl33 pounds Of grain and D62 pounds
Of mash. The total cost Of the feed
vas S6GZ7. In estimating this cost
the following prices per 100 pounds
were used: Wheat, S1.G8: corn, S1.6O;
bran, Sl.2O; eornmeal, S1.75; shorts,
$40; aud beef scraps, S3-25. These
prices are higher than the feed would
bring II 500 by the farmer. but al
that the flock returned good profit.
They produced a total Of s.0J7 eggs
st food cost Of 1Ojz cents a dozen.
AT the prevailing prices the eggs sold
for $l57.17. thus giving a total profit
Of 5000.
At an average price Of 23.4 cents q
dozen the hens returned a profit Of a
dollar and half apiece above the cost
Of feed. Even at an average price of
20 cents dozen the hens doubled the
value Of the feed.
They were fed as a scratch food a
mixture Of two parts cracked corn and
one part wheat. The mash consisted
Of equal parts Of bran. shorts, corn.
meal and beef scrap. Grit, oyster shell
and water were kept before the birds
all the time.

INFLUENCE COLOR OF YoLKs
sprouted Oats Are One Of Best Things
for That Purpose-They Also
Stimulate EGG Laying.

Color in the yolk Of eggs is in
fuenced very largely by the green
food eaten, just as a yellow color In
butter IL increased when the COWS
have lots Of grass. This is an item
In market requirements, for, while
some customers pay no attention to
the color of the yolk. others want II
quite golden or think that something
Is wrong. In the fall, when green
feed Is scarce and the yolks are nat
urally pale, II may be profitable TO
give more green feed to bring the
color back, as well as TO help the fowls.
Sprouted oats form one OF the best
feeds for this purpose, as well as to
stimulate laying and the general
health OF the hen, but most kinds OF
green feeds will have the same effect.
One pOultryman thought that rape
might be a good green feed, but found
that II made the yolks almost black,
so tried II no more. Kale, though re-
lated 10 rape, does not act this way.
