HOUSEWIVES MAY
PRESER FISH
At SMALL COST

As a measure of economy IN the
present period of high prices of food
stuffs and as a contribution TO the
conservation of the fod supply, which
IS ne of the Country's urgent needs.
the bureau of fisheries urges house
wives, particularly. those living near
streams and lakes or the seashore, to
preserve fish for home consumption.
The fish can be bought when they
are cheap, during times of plenty, and
held for use during the winter when,
ordinarily, prices are high. In many
cases waste fishes, which because Of
prejudice or ignorance are not placed
on the market, may be bought for lit
tie and sometimes may be obtained
from the fishermen for the asking
Practically all fishes are edible, and
purchasers should not be deferred
from buying them on account of their
unattractlve appearance. Some of the
ugliest are among the best. Two easy
methods of preserving, namely. can
ming and sailing, are available to
housewives. To be sure of success the
methods here described should be
carefully followed:
Canning.
When using Coarse-scaled, thick
skinned fishes, cut off the fins or
make an inCisiOn on each side of the
fin and pull it out. Make an incision
through the skin along the back, an
other along the belly, and connect
these two by a third encircling the
body just behind the head, impale
the head on a hook or charpened nail
driven through a plank, take hold of
tn eskin at the angle of the two in
ClsiOns at the back of the head and
remove it by pulling toward the tail.
Thin-skinned fishes, like herring and
alewives, should be scaled, not skin
ned.
Cut off the head, remove the intes-
tines and other organs, and take out
the backbone by making a cut with a
the body cavity. Wash thoroughly,
taking particular care to remove the
blood along the back.
Cut the fish into strips to fit the
length of the jars to be used and rub
with dry salt, using a level tablespoon
full to each pint jar of fish. Fill the
jar with the pieces packed as tightly
as possible, put on the rubber rings,
anu place ItG caps On lIle jars AoOSCiN
so that the steam can escape. Put
no water in the jars. Cook in a pres
sure cooker for one and one-half hours
after steam pressure registers Is

and permit cooling. Use the cooker

/ turers on application.
/ Sailing.
Large fish having soft fins, small
scales, and thin skin should be scaled
/ but not skinned. Remove the head

Inc success of the operation will de-

as June 10 on sandy land.
Among less nutritious vegetables
which may be planted in soil freed by
early harvests are late cabbage and
cucumbers. Winter onions, fall lettuce
and fall radishes also may be planted
late in the season.
1t is not essential, the specialists
point out, to wait until all radishcs,
heads of lettuce and other early ma
turing plants are removed before
planting seeds or setting plants for
succeeding crops. Corn or beans, for
example, may he started in spaces
made in radish or lettuce rows, or be
tween the rows. The radjshes or let
tuce will then be harvested before the
late planted crops need all the ground.
Equally satisfactory results can be
obtained from the coordination of 9TH
err early and late vegetables.

Rhymes From the Nursery
Making Valentines

We're awful busy kids these days,
We've hardly time to coast;
We've hardly time to eat our meals
Just grab a piece of toast
And run off to the nursery,
And take bite between
The cutting up old cardboard
And the colorin' it with green.
Or red'll do as well, or blue
Just so it looks real fine:
And then you paste a picture on,
And there's your Valentine!
Esceptin' you must have verse
And rhyme l never could!
So I alters call on sister
Who can make them awful good!
She makes up nice ones for mamma
All full of love and joy,
She makes up one for baby
All about his pretty toy
She makes up ugly ones for dad
oh! Gee! He'll have to laugh!
I've ones that call him monkey and
And I've ones that call him calf!
But I'm amakin' one myself
I've not told to a soul;
l make the words up in the dark,
AS round my bed | roll
It's for Louise in our school
Her hairs all full of curls--

MILITARY TRAINING

CECRETARY BAKER has con-
y graduated the commanders of
the troops along the border for
the excellent conduct of both men
and ofiicers-and very properly so.
The National Guardsmen went to
Texas fresh from office and mill and
many of them raw recruits unfamiliar
with even the rudiments of military
duties. They are soldiers now in
every respect, ready for the rough
est kind of active service.
Nevertheless, as former Secretary of
War Stimson has pointed out, the
1850 guardsmen thus scraped to-
gether between June IS and August
81 were not at once an army. The
chief of staff testified that only 10,
900 of them could shoot "tolerably"
Some $4,000 of them never had had
range instruction with the army rifle; /;
II 900 of them never had attended an
encampment There is no possible de-
fense of a system producing such re-
suits.

produce a great defensive force
quickly.
Ever since 1903, when the so-calIed
Dick law went into effect, the federal
government has been paying subsi-
dies to the militia of the States. That
law had offered every inducement-
pay, subsistence, equipment, transpor-
tation to army maneuvers-to get the
States to put their National Guard or
ganizations upon some sort of mill
tary footing, and after fourteen years
of this experiment, during which its
failure was public knowledge, Con-
gress could think of no other remedy
than to increase the subsidies, with
the result now known.
The answer to this failure of the
militia--not individually, for the
makeup of the Guard is excellent and
its morale is beyond reproach, but as
an adequate defensive institution

.T<HE famous Dalrymple farm in
Trail and CaSs counties, North
Dakota, said to be the largest IN
the world and known wherever agri-
culture on mammoth scale is talked
of, is to disappear. That which re-
mains of the great holdings of Oliver
Dalrymple, in his day the greatest
farmer in sthe world, comprises 49,
600 acres. 1t is to be cut up into
about 100 small farms of 160 to 500
acres.
The seed, that is all ready in the
Dalrymple seedhouses on the farm for
the 1917 crop, will go into the ground
this year, for the land is fall plowed
and as ready as can be at this time,
for the spring planting. But when the
1917 crop is taken off the land, that
will be the end of the Dalrymple
farm.
New holdings, generous enough in
area as farms are measured . in the
East, but tiny in comparison with the
parent farm. will be laid out.
There will be farmhouses and farm
buildings in every direction, as the
new small farms are taken up, where
now, in winter time, there is a vast
unbroken tract that to the traveller by
rail or along country road suggests
an uninhabited country.

FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. ..
TERMINAL FACILITIES

IT is a good sign when civic and
street railway officials get together
for the consideration of problems,
the solution of which involve the con-
venience of the public and the general
welfare of the community. Several
conferences have already been held
with a view of determining the best
plan to overcome intolerable traffic
conditions In the central business dis
trict. AS a result of these interchanges
there is daylight ahead. Following
the discussion, the Municipal League
has put up to the City Planning Com
mission a scheme which embraces the
best thought of all interests and upon
its approval by the official planners
the Valley Railways Company will be
urged to adopt the terminal arrange
ment proposed. We have no doubt
that the 'cross-river utility corporation
will be glad to cooperate in any prac-
teal measure that will give relief.
Prompt action is absolutely necessary;
the working out of a plan has been
hanging fire quite long enough.
The solution proposed is regarded
by engineers as ideal under the cir
cumstances. 1t involves, in brief, the
erection of terminal station on Wal
nut street, at River alley, and the
double tracking of Walnut street for
one block, thus relieving Market
Square of the constant congestion
which has so seriously impaired the
street railway service of the city on all
lines.
This matter settled in the right way.
the Harrisburg Railways Company
should at once procure the services of
the best operating engineer available
for survey of the city lines with
view to improving the system and
overcoming conditions which have
given rise to widespread criticism.
Let the whole job be completed at
one time.

TO CUT UP BIGGEST FARM
Dalrympe Heirs Will Divide 0o0Acre Tract in North

or thirty-tlve thousand acres under
cultivation.
Wide Attention Attracted
VISITORS from every part of tie
united states and many from abroad
came to the farm, at harvest time IN
see the wheat Writers for Eastern
publications came to view and describe
the farm. Many columns were writ

Gals of the scale on which operations
were conducted. The romance of the
bonanza farmer was written and re-
written.
For twenty-five consecutive wears
nothlng but wheat was raised on the
Dalrymple farm. But for some years
past crop rotation has been followed
and the farm has produced vast uuan-
tltles OF flax, barley, rye, oats, millet,
and other crops in tie process of rest
ing and restoring the soil and every
year portion has been laid in sum-
mer fallow.
Oliver Dalrymple, his name known
in England. France and Germany,
himself a st. Paul resident in the
winter time and a practical farmer
on the land in spring, summer and
harvest time, died in 1908. There
was some cutting off of parcels OF

sons, William Dalrymple and j. S

Cass county.

give up operating the farm and divide
it into small FARMS" William Dalrym-
pie says 1T is better we think, that
this be done, for many reasons. And

Made World Look Up

then was Dakota Territory, few people
believed that grain could profitably be
grown so far north and there was a
very crude conception of what the
country that we now speak of as the
Northwest really was. 1t was the big
farmer, doing things in a big way. thar
woke up the world to what the posi-
bilities were. As u means of pub
licity for the Northwest. if for moth
ing else, the big farms were great
assets.
But economic conditions in North
Dakota have changed. The State is
rich and prosperous, methods of agri-
cultural operation have changed
everything is different. 1t will be bet
ter for the State, for the towns and
cities of the State and for all the peo
pie interested in the development OF
the State to have a great many small

Tdolatry AS 1t Is

After months spent in idolatrous
lands. l have been unable to see much
real worship in heather shrines. The
educated worship with their tongues
in their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount of real worship that exists in
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib of a departed little
one, and tie it to ;he statue of Jizo,
the god of motherhood. Sometimes an
old man or woman. almost blind, will
enter the temple and rub the eyes of a
wooden god and then rub his own in
the hope that eternal darkness may not
close in on his affrightened soul. In

FAULT OF THE SYSTEM

TIME Chamber of Commerce again
has placed tkis community under
obligations through presentation
of an authority on the police condi-
tions of America at its MONDAY lunch
con yesterday. C. j. Driscoll, repre-
senting the New York Bureau of Mu-
nicipal Research in its survey of the
police department of Harrisburg, was
the speaker of the OCCASION.
In all the series of the luncheon
talks none has been more important
in its relation to the welfare of the
city tLan the admirable address of
Mr.. Driscoll. Familiar with the
famous police forces of the great
cities of the world, he brought to the
discussion of this important subject n
large experience, a clear and fair
mind, and great good sense.
Some time ago the Telegraph took
occasion to criticise rather severely
the police methods of Harrisburg.
Things had come to such a pass that
a remedy was necessary and out of
this criticism has come the investiga-
ton which is now being made under
direction of the Chamber of Com
merce and a number of public
spirited citizens who have contributed
toward the expense.
But in all frankness and honesty the
Telegraph desires to make n con-
fession in fairness to those members
of the local police force who may
have suffered in public opinion
through tie rather drastic treatment
of the matter by this newspaper. We
failed to realize, perhaps, that in gem
eral criticism many faithful and eff
cient members of the force were in
volved in the public censure which
was visited upon the department as
whole. This was far from our
thought and we desire now in this
public manner to state that there are
doubtless many men now serving tho
city in the police department who
should have been commended rather
than condemned
AS Mr.. Driscoll observed in his ad-
mirable presentation of the subject
the system Is at fault rather than the
men employed as the conservators OF
public peace. We trust that out of the
survey now being made will come a
general transformation and such an
improvement as will give to tie city
a police department second to none in
the United States. AS suggested by

Our contributions to the war fund

rates, and the higher the freight rates
the higher the prices of commodities

This last onslaught of Germany

bound to run up prices on every ar
ticle and on every ounce of raw mate
rial brought into the United States

The insurance people are willing
to take the risks, but they make ship
owners as a whole pay more for their

Brazil has very excellent reasons for
taking this attitude. Victory for the
allies means much to Brazil. The
allies, many believe, are fighting the
battle of the South American Republic
if not of the whole South American
continent. Germany long has had her
eye on that country; SO much so, in
deed, as to plant what amounts almost
to a>crown colony there. Now is the
time, q great number of Brazilians
think, to make impossible any such
pro-German program after the war as

ton previous to tie conflict.
