USING OUR PUBLIC LANDS,

'FWe must use our natural re- sources" ]" declared President. Wilson in his first address to Congress.
 This declaration has formed the foundation of the present land policy of the government. Legislation is on the road to passage, for opening to use, under terms and conditions which will encourage development, the wa ter powers, and the coal, oil, phos- pIc +e and potash deposits in the pub lie domain.
 In the administration of the home steading laws, the policy has been to encourage settlement, and many of the technicalities and much of the red tape which in the past has made it difficult for settlers to obtain their patents, have been eliminated, while the laws themselves have been made more liberal. with a view to recogniz- ing the rights and interests of bona fde settlers, and making the honest intent of the honesteader the real test, rather than the questionsof trivial and technical observance of regula- tions. Legislation has also been en- acted making more liberal conditions for the requirement. by bona f1de set- tiers of larger areas of on-irrigable lands for dry farming.
 As a result of this policy, 27,- 416, ,000 acres of land were patented in the years 1914 and 1915, or an area larger than that of the state of Ohio.
 A test made to determine how the new policy was working, by taking 10 homestead entries at random from each of the 95 land districts, showed that the average cultivation per entry by these new homesteaders was 27 acres, and the average value of inn provements was $790.
 The effect of this better and fairer treatment of bona fde settlers on the public lands is shown by the increase in entries, which has been as follows: 1912, 14,574,6S8 acres; 1913, 15,s67,- 222 acres; 1914, 16,522,852 acres; 1915, 16,861,214 acres.

THE DEMAND FOR COOKS.

A New York hotel proprietor writes to newspaper in that city complain ing of the difficulty in finding com petent men cooks. He thinks that cooking should be taught to boys as well as girls. He reports that many a chef gets his $10,0O0 a year, while a. competent cooks assistant in hotel gets $50 to $150 a month and board, rates of wages denied to many per sons in more pretentious employ ments.
 It looks like promising field of effort But it is to be feared that men would cherish intuftfve preju- dicess They would like the pay, but don't take to wearing aprons. Even if they merely sat in an office

OH, THOSE
 PANCAKE PARTIES
Man can live without learning; He can live without books; But where is the man
 Who can live without cooks?"

Who can live without COOKS :!
 Have the girls who are at their wits ends for a novelty in entertaining their friends ever thought of giving lads and lassies a pancake party at their homes?
 Shrove Tuesday. famed far down the ages as pancake day, falls this year on March 7. What youth who was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to such a feast would stay away? A cozy group is much better for such a party than a large num- Der; for the guests must be seated at tables. The dainty provided cannot be passed around-p1ates to be held in laps as ice cream and cake may be.
 A dozen young girls and a dozen young men can squeeze in around the ordinary table with a fair degree of comfort. Girls should wear pretty lawn dresses, with the most coquet- tish of little be-ruffled aprons. For each maid must take a turn in nnak- ing her share of the golden brown cakes for the entire company. And, as they are light and evenly brown, therefore enjoyable, so is her after life supposed to turn out.
 She gets a chance to show her best young man what a love of a, cook she is. It's a hint as well to him that when she weds her husband won't have to go to business on a cold, fros-
 (S the girls practice days in advance un- til they get the art down fine. The young men, not to be outdone in fur nishing their share to the entertain ment, pass around capital jokes to keep the company in merry mood as the girls pass the cakes, the golden butter and the strained honey. Cof- fee accompanies the feast, Piping hot. Woe be unto him who asks for Fdoughnuts or bread on pancake day! As a penalty, he is liable to be told he will be hustled from the table and out of the house. Every girl makes the pancakes she has most luck with. If it is a potato pancake, she can tuck in a round patty of sausage, barely enough to give zest to his appetite. The next maiden is equally as suc- cessful with her rice cakes Another with her French jelly-rolled cakes. For weeks beforehand, the girls are up in the att fishing out the old cook books-hand written and pasted in-of their grandmothers. Such wonderful goodies they evolve cause many a, young man to propose. For man is known to be in his happiest, joliiest
 mood when he has dined on pancakes dadntiIy served; a cup of coffee &C., companying them that is fit for a king. They wish shrove Tuesday came twice year and lasted six months each time. Of course, dancing, music and games have preceded the feast. Talk about your funi It is at a height at a pancake party.

PREFERS A LOVER
 WITH MONEY

B. E. writes: tT am girl reader of 19, going with young man of 2S. l think a great deal of him. Am en- gagged soon to marry. My folks dis like him. Try every possible way to have us quit. Sent a young man down to visit Sunday. He is preferred by them for me to wed, as he has money. I don't love him. Sister goes with young man they do not object to, but encourage. It hurts me. My intended wants to marry now and go away. If I consent, will it be against fathers wilI?"
 Love, and good habits must far out weigh money. Daughters, who wed poor but good men work in their ev- cry interest. Most prosperous men were poor once.

WHOPPLNG BUSINESS IN CANNED GOODS

The foreign trade in American canned goods is insignificant when compared to the size of the industry in this country. The total output of American canneries was valued at $192, 396,Oo0, in 1909, and probably amounted to 100000, in 1914 but the exports for the last year be- fore the war amounted to only $18,- 35O,00O.
 It is the universal verdict that American canned goods compare fa- vorab1y with those of other countries so far as quality of the goods and att tractiveness of the containers are con- cerned. In many cases, however, the foreign goods have slight advantage in price.

AFTER THE WAR.
(By Dr. Edward E. Pratt, Chief of the Bureau of Foreign and
 Domestic Commerce.0

(By Dr. Edward E. Pratt, Chief of
 the Bureau of Foreign and
 Domestic Commerce.)
 'The outcome of our efforts to meet competition in foreign trade after the war will rest on certain elemental factors: Trained men; the ability to l finance foreign trade; the adoption of a conventional tariff system: the building of a merchant marine. Let us take a brief account of stock. The | United States has made some prepara- ton for peace, and there are other preparations planned and. under way. ''Under the Federal Reserve Act and with the creation of the Federal Reserve Board, our financial re- sources are for the first time in our history mobi1ized for foreign trade. The Federal Trade Commission opens up another avenue of approach to t&e goal of a better and bigger business. We look to it to make more stable the conditions of business in this country, and hence better prepared. Definite, constructive work in advancing for- eign trade is being done by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. It stands on it's record of actual, defi- nite, results achieved. Now we come to two arms of the service which do not exist, but which if the public de- sires will soon come into existence. The creation of a practical shipping board will do much to make possible the establishment of a merchant ma rine. The establishment of this board is a very important part of our prepa- ration for peace, and a part which we cannot delay safely. Finally, we must have a tariff board. It is another link in our chain of preparedness for peace, and it is link that should be added soon.
 .I for one believe that the United States is entering upon @ new period in her economic history. There was a time when the United States consisted of a few struggling colonies on the Atlantic coast. She gradually expand ed into a great agricultural nation, and of late we have developed indus trially and our manufactures have be- come important. Now we are enter ing upon a period of international commerce when the United States will take her position at the head of the commercial nations of the world"

TODAY'S POEM
THE sPIRE AND THE CHIMNEY

A spire unto a chimney spoke: You must not stain me with your smoke.
 "A wondrous beauty in me lies, I point the people to the skies" And then the chimney made reply: Perhaps a better spire am I. Your carven stone is always cold, But warmth like human hearts I hold "By day I show a rolling cloud. By night fiery pillar proud. And when men truly understand I lead them to the promised land.'
