on Cape Cod, and while there she ported
enough shellfsh TO use as a delicacy
during the last winter. Her expert
ment was success, and here is the
recipe she used for potting lobster.
POtted Lobster That Tastes Like Fresh.
She boiled at one time three four
pound Holsters, removed the meat from
the tails and large claws, keeping il.
intact These pieces she put into u
stew-pan with a cup of chopped mush-
rooms, half-cup of sliced truffles, a
bud of garlic, a teaspoon of salt, d
heaping saltspoon of cayenne pepper
and a cup and half of butter.
She stewed these all together over
gentle fire for ten minutes. When
almost done she added the well-beaten
yokes Of three eggs, teaspoon of we'll
chopped parsley, and a teacupful Of
fresh sweet cream, and stewed all to-
gether until the gravy became the con-
sistency of moderately stiff paste.
She then filled her small pots with the
mixture, and sealed them with melted
parafiin, covering down the tops. On
opening the jar she warmed the mix
ture in a double boiler and served 1t
on toast; or she sliced it down cold
and served as a salad on lettuce leave.
In both instances it tasted like freshly
boiled lobster.
How to Pot Shrimp.
The shrimp were potted in this
manner, though some were done like
the lobster: After boiling and remov-
ing whole from the shells the shrimp
had poured over them enough spiced
vinegar to cover them and were sealed
hot One quart of the vinegar is made
by adding a quarter of pound of
mixed spices, tied in a bag, one bud
of garlic, a teaspoon of celery seed, a
small piece of ginger root and a half
cup of tarragon leaves to quart Of
cider vinegar, and simmering all for
ten minutes. After il has been sim
mered let it stand for four hours TO
flavor. Then heat, allowing it to sim
mer for five minutes, when it is ready
for use.

Ihave learned by experience that one
of the best methods Of cleaning painted
woodwork is to use naphtha soap ex-
actly as you would use it in washing
clothes. | rub the woodwork over with
a well-soaped cloth and let It stand
few minutes. This loosens the dirt as
soaking the clothes loosens II in laun-
dry work, so that when | go over the
woodwork a second time all soil comes
almost without rubbing. This method
is not only quicker than scrubbing, but
much better for the paint.

President Farmers
Union Warns Voters

"Owing to the order in which the
initiative measures will appear on
the ballot, hope that every farmer
in Oregon will scan his ballot care
fully before voting on these meas
ures," said j. D. Brown, president of
the Farmers Union Of Oregon and
Southern Idaho, in recent state
ment.
"The phrase, 'Homemakers' Loan
Fund Amendment, in the title Of the
first measure under the heading
Proposed by Initiative Petition may
lead some to thing 1t is the state
rural credits bill. That is not the
case, as the rural credits bill is the
next to the last, the seventh of the
initiative measures, and its title on
the ballot is Rural Credits Amend
ment.'
This first initiative measure is
the single tax bill, named on the bal
lot the Full Rental Value Land Tax
and Homemakers Loan Fund Amend
ment.' 1t is commonly known as
the peoples land and loan meas
ure,' and went by that name when
signatures for the petition were be-
ing solicited. 1t is an entirely diff
ferent measure from the rural cred
its bill.
81 find that not only among the
farming population but more espec-
tally in the cities and towns the vot-
ers are somewhat confused by these
two measures. The voting numbers
for the single tax bill, the Full
Value Land Tax and Homemakers
Loan Fund Amendment are SOC
Yes and 307 No. The voting num-
bers of the rural credits bill are 31S
and 319. Farmers and all others in
terested in the rural credits meas
ure should be careful to discriminate
between these measures"

Our next visit was to a dairy farm
belonging to a Mr.. Hinckley. This
farm supplies much of the milk and
cream consumed in Fairbanks, and it
also sells butter, buttermilk and cot

pound and cottage cheese or smearcase
for so cents a quart. We went with
Mr.. Hinckley to the barn to look at his
cows. He has 20, which give on the
average three or four gallons of milk
every "a hours. The milking is done
twice day and the cows had been
brought into the barn at the time of
our visit. They are what you would
call good average stock in the states.
The COW barn is interesting 1t is a

and 80 feet long, with the stalls facing

artificial heat.
Adjoining this barn is hay shed
filled with native grass, just harvested,
and near it are large fields of oat hay
ready for cutting. The dairyman has
not bought any hay for several years.
He relies on the native grass and his
oat hay for his stock. He says the oat
hay is quite as good as timothy, and
very much crsiper, the timothy brought
in from outside selling for 500 per ton
Shorts and oats cost respectively 800 and

the man who uses an alarm clock in or

M0Ew YORK, october 14-(special9
UW In this merry autumn season,
when New York, in common with
the rest of the world, is having it's trials,
which are as varied and various as the
nationalites of it's inhabitants you may
naturally conclude that, having so many
troubles there is, of course, room enough
1. to indulge in them. And there is where
you arrive at an erroneous conclusion.
1t is difficult to say just what is re-
sponsible for the super congestion we
under the one head-people. Unquestion-
ably that is the great driving cause, and
yet there is no record to show that New
York city is just now harboring so many
more thousand souls than it has cared
for during previous seasons.
1t is still the season Of buyers, and
they are still coming and going in great
numbers, but a buyer, unless you have
something he wants, is, as a rule, an in
offensive sort of chap, who is content
to go his way in peace But here that
is impossible; in fact it is rapidly COM
ing to the point where it will be a mat

way-in any direction.
You of Sunland perhaps believe that
those of us who write you tales of this
wonder city are prone to exaggerate, but
this little item is not dealing in exag-
geration. If the congestion were all on
the trains and surface cars, one might
say the strike is responsible for it, but
it is everywhere.
Standing at the intersection of Fifth
avenue and Forty-second street today,
noticed the traffic jam up and down the
avenue and believing it to be worse than
/ had ever before seen it, took out my
watch (Which had Recently been restored
to mel and timed myself l remained
standing upon the corner for seven min
utes before was able to get across Fifth
avenue.
This was in part attributable to the fact
that a rookie" was doing duty as a
traffic policeman. Volunteer policemen,
to help out during the strike situation,
have been accepted by the city, and num-
bers of them are used right where the
traffic is hardest to handle. Just why
this method is employed it would be diff
ficult to determine, but it is, and as
direct result there has been an increase
both in delay and danger. Almost as far
as the eye could see looking either north
or south, there was jam OF automo-
