NEW YORK, March 22.-Bitter eX-
perience Of the actual horrors Of war
is being brought to America by Ar
menian efugees-children women
and old men-fleeing from their loot

Minor. before the devastating Turks.
With the Goddess OF Liberty a
stones throw away and the towering
skyline of New York star ns them
in the face. [ watched forty-tiye Ar

women and children and babies in
arms waited wonderingly while Uncle

These were the advance guard Of

As fast as they were discharged by

WHO PUTS UP THE
MONEY?

TF a large number of Mexi-
cans flock to the Villa
standard to make trouble
for the United States it will be
due to the fact money from
some source is being supplied
for the purpose. Such revolts
do not occur without some coin
behind them. It takes money
TO feed, clothe, arm and pay
the soldiers.
In this connection a recent
editorial in the Boston Post is
of interest:

tion OF valuable fertilizer from the
rock while the orchardsts Of Wash
ington, oregon and California are
transporting rock from Florida, 5000
miles removed by water, with overland
freight besides. Nothing is needed for
the correction Of this anomalous con.
dltlon but the law which opens to uss
the vast stores of phosphate near at
hand
All of these things are matters OF
very pressing need, calling for action
without any delay. some Of them
are vital to our future as nation.

THIS MAY ENTERTAIN
MIGHT OMIT THE MUSIC.

A clergyman OF Kentucky, accord
ing to senator ollie James Of that
state, who never lost an opportunity
to decry what he termed the "sin of
dancing, met a pretty girl member OF
his flock who was reluctant to adopt
the view of her spiritual adviser
You should. give up dancing, Miss
Smith," he urged. Don't you know
that dancing is simply spooning set
to music?"
well, said the girl. "I suppose
they might omit the music"

WhyU.S. Should Control Oil Fields

of the more conspicuous Of those ma
tional assets-our oil, gas, coal and
phosphate
The remedy is at hend in what is
known as the geenral development
BILL prepared two years ago after in
vestigation of conditions that was as
painstaklng as 1t was conscientious.
After passing the house or representa-
tives it failed to pass the senate. Con-
gress has it under consideration anew
under circumstances which have be-
come more urgent through the very
lapse of time
| Our oil and gas lands are still TAX
en- up under law that is worse than
an ancronism. Were u not SO immit-
igably harmful, It would be laugh
able, Back in 40, California's gold
seekers, locating their claims along
the streams, working out a rough and
ready rule that ownership of the
claim depended on the finding of gold
in that particular spot; until it was
found, any one could try to find the
gold and, on finding 1t, assert owners
rights
The rule subsequently,, furnished
the principle on which was founded
the law governing the ownership
claims of minerals in general
Today, applied in the guse of law
to oil that may lie half a mile below
the earth's surface and be discovered
only after the outlay of a fortune
small or large-the principle Of the
old placer gold claim is sheer non
sense. Worse--it has permitted the
taking up Of public iands purely as a
basis for speculation.
Worse still--undcr the law as it
stands. this mineral which is so
needful to the people, which can ncv-
er be replaced, is wasted by the mil
lions OF barrels. 1t is true that the
estimate by the geological survey that
our total supply Of petroleum is 23,-
0oO, 100000 barrels; but. within our
own borders we are consuming that
supply at the rate Of 26j, 900 600 bar

complete exhaustion of our petroleum.
So far from being rich in that most
important national asset, our con-
sumption draws now so heavily on our
supply that any waste Of it is Grim
inal, and use of 1t as ruel before ex-
tracing all Of its valuable consttu-
ents is folly barely short of mad

The sane course for us. with regard
TO our oil lands, is to give first

followed by the gift Of a circum-

A former confidential agent for
Francisco Villa the Mexican outlaw
is talking in Chicago ABOUT the glories
of his erstwhue chiefs army" which
he says is better than ours" As
proof of this remarkable assertion he
declares that less than six months ago
he spent Sl0OOOOOO on vina's ac-
count for arms and ammunition from
the Remington company.
This is something or a pot Of money
and perhaps the Remington people
will be interested to know that they
obtained SO much from villa. But
of more interest to Americans gener-
ally is the speculation as to where. il
the former coRfidentiai agents story
is true, the Mexican bandit got the
cash

Now there came to me a man who
said, Take now the Philosopher
Stone wherein thou dost see Wisdom,
and tell me what / should do.
And / asked him saying, What all
eth thee?
And he answered, My wife loveth
me not, neither do l love her.
And when | looked upon him, did
not wonder that she loved him not,
but whether he might love her |
knew not, for / had not seen her.
And | said to him, What is the
trouble?
And he said, Ny wife doth not make
Pie and Cake such as Mother Used to
Make.
And | said, can give thee Sure
Remedy for thy Troubles if thou Wilt
Do as / say.
And he said, will surely do it.
Then / asked him of his Mother,
and what she used to Make, and he
told me of the days of his. Boyhood,
and how he was wont to get up in
the morning at Four Of the Clock and
Milk Nine Cows, and Feed the Hogs,
and Curry the Horses, and Wash his
Face in Water from the Water Bue-
ket wherein he had broken the Ice.
And | took the Philosophers Stone
and laid il where he thought His
Heart was, but nearly where his
Stomach was, and said to him, Thou
shalt surely be Cured, and thy Wife
will make Such Things as thy Moth
er Used to make.
And he rose to go, but said to
him, have yet to tell thee the condi-
tions.
And he said, | had forgotten that
there would be Conditions.
And l said, There always are.
And he asked me, What must / do :?
And / said, Thou dost live in a
Steam-heated Flat, which is an In
vention Of the Devil, and an Invita-
ton of Matrimonial Troubles. Thou
dost Eat Late Dinners at the Club.
Now shalt thou do as | tell thee. Rise
thou at Four Of the Clock, and Shovel
Snow off the walk, or Drive Milk
Wagon, or do some other useful thing
till Seven. Then come thou to Break
fast, and thy Wife shall set before
thee Hot Smoking Griddle Cakes
such as thy Mother used to Make. And
at night ere thou dost sit down to
Dinner, Push thou the Lawnmower
for the space Of Two Hours. =.
And he was wroth and said, / will
not.
And said to him, Blame not thy
wife for not cooking such things as
thy Mother Used to Make till thou
dost bring her an Honest Appetite
such as Thou didst bring to Mother.
And he pondered and said, Verify
! thou art a wise man. wonder did
not think Of that before. Didst thou

New Rule in Justice Courts

The legislature of 1915 passed a
law which is a radical departure
from any law heretofore enforced
regulating the practice in justice
courts. The new law allows the pre-
vailing party in all contested cases
before. justice of the peace to tax
against the losing party an attorney
fee of $500 in addition to all other
costs, unless the judgment exclusive
Of costs amount to less than $500,
when the attorney fee to be taxed
shall be the same amount as the judg-
ment.
The effect of the law is to add to a
judgment, in addition to all except
where the judgment is less than $500
an attorney fee which will double the
amount of the judgment. Debtors ow-
ing small amounts should think twice
before allowing suit to be brought on
small accounts.

Angel Cake

The ingredients called for are one
cupful of white of egg mine or ten,
according to size), one cupful of
graduated sugar, one cupful Of flour
measured after once sitting, a salt
spoonful of salt, a half teaspoonful
of almonds to flavor. Sift the flour
and sugar together five times. Add
the salt to white of eggs, then beat
in a large bowl or on a large platter.
When the whites begin TO look
foamy add the cream of tartar, then
continue the beating until very, very
stiff. When you reach this point you
can tip the platter upside down with
out the egg failing off. Now is the
critical moment. The oven should be
ready-a slow bread oven. 1t is Of
ten fifteen minutes before putting
the cake in which gives it a chance
to heat gradually. If one has a reg
ular angel-cake tin it should be used,
but if not, an INCREASED pan that has
not been used for anything else will
do. Now begin folding the sugar and
flour through the whites of the eggs,
taking care not to break the air bub-
bles of the eggs. Do not stop fold
ing until the cake is in the tin and
the tin in the oven. Bake very slowly
about forty-five minutes. If it bakes
too fast at first, cover with buttered
paper. Almond is considered the best
flavor to use with angel cake, but le-
mon or vanilla may be substituted
if dseired The fiavoring is added at
the last.

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter has come to be rec
ognized as one Of the best additions
to our diet. 1t is wholesome and nu-
tritious, as we'll as appetizing. There
are large factories in the south
which do nothing but manufacture
it, but it always seems to taste bet
ter If used as soon as it is made. Its
preparation is really one of the east
est things in the world.
Grind the peanuts with the finest
knife on the food chopper until they
are very fine. They usually need to
be put through the grinder twice
even with the finest knife. If the
peanut butter seems very dry, lit.
tie cottonseed oil or butter added to
it will give it the proper consistency
Also a very small amount Of salt, 9
half teaspoonful to a pint improves
the flavor.
