imaginary line, beginning at the star

tend that straight line out until it

which it rotates, If extended beyond
the north pole, would reach up to q
point very close to the north star
Therefore. as the earth revolves, the
north star seems to stand still, while
the other stars seem to revo]ve
around 1t. Thus, sitting in your
chair, watching the northern sky,
you will see the stars above thn
north star move westward those be-

YOU will see quite a change in the
positions of the stars, but three hours
is better, and will give you vivid
realization that the earth where you
sit Is whirling eastward. and as the
rim of your horizon obscures the
view below 1t you can see stars COM
ing UP into view in the northwest as
you whirl, and stars sinking behind
the northwestern horizon. and all the
stars seemingly in motion around
the north star.

your Imagination rove almost half
way round the earth to where MI
lions of men are crouched in trenches
or lying out upon the earth behind
the battle fronts with those same
stars looking down upon them each
night. The stars you see come up
above the rim of the east have just
a few hours before been RIGHT above
the battle lines and have lighted its
horrors. But, IN the ages past, they
have lighted a thousand wars, Just
as they have this one.
And If you want to converse of the
past you may recall that when the
pyramids of Egypt were built this
star was not the north star, but then
Alpha Draconis was the north star.
And, projecting your mind into the
future some 10000 years, you can
imagine the time when this north
star of ours will have moved out and
the star Vega. a vast sun many times
larger than this. will be the north
star for many generations Of men,
although. as Professor Serviss says,
Vega will never be as directly due
north as our own north star is.

ton; or 1t may be served with any
sauce or any garnish suitable for
boiled fish.
The above summary indicates the
general principles to be observed in
cooking carp.
Further. it would appear that If
the large fish, on which these expert
ments were carried out, can be made
so palatable, it is quite probable
that carp Of smaller size can be
made even more pleasing in flavor
and texture.
Other Methods Of Cooking Carp.
Further experiments proved that If
the general principles indicated be
observed, any Of the other usual
methods Of cooking fish (sauteing.
broiling, baking, etc.). may be en-
ployed for carp, and fish of nearly
as good flavor and texture as the
broiled fish may be secured. How
ever, when these methods are en-
ployed. it is self-evident that the
loose bones can not be removed In
the manner described; hence, If re-
moval OF these bones before serving
is desired, carp should be boiled.
A German Method of Cooking Carp.
After the completion Of these ex-
periments, the experimenter learned
of a German method of cooking carp
which may be appreciated by some.
The fish is prepared for cooking by
removal of the entrails, but not the
skin, nor even the scales. 1t is then
soaked in hot vinegar one-half hour
and subsequently boiled till the fins
can be pulled out. The fish is then
removed from the water, and the
skin taken off by gentle scraping.
The fish is seasoned through being
boiled in sailed water. to which onion
is added A fish was cooked accord
ing to the method. The flavor, In
this case, was less pleasing than that
developed by the method already de-
scribed. However, this means of re-
r,oval Of the skin and scales Of the
fish may be appreciated by some

SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE

100 BILLS.

Pierre, Jan. ga clean calendar

than at any other session is the re-
cord set by the house so far this
term.
Only three bills have become laws

school for the feeble minded, and the
law requiring registration of nurses.
Many of the $50 measures introduced
the others are in shape for action at

Women suffrage, the state budget,
prohibition, labor laws, and a road
code, will be ready for action soon.
Adjutant General Morris is working
on a military code for submission.
Committees have acted PROMPTLY in
almost every case, and their rulings
have been accepted in most cases.
The house has a rule providing for
no general bills after the 40th day of
the session, and no committee bills
after the 45th day. With the calen-
dar cleared every night, probably the
principal rush will be over the 100 or
more bills expected i'm Immediately
after the recess, and when this flood
spreads. Speaker Roberts expects to
have practically the last 10 days of
the session free for consideration OF
senate bills alone.
The senate has set an entirely diff
ferent record-one for conservatism.
The senate has put in about half the
measures the house members have
and has cleared away the calendar
every day. The senate has done
more in the way of important legis-
lation than the house. 1t has passed
the budget bill and the women suf-
frage resolution and several other i'm
portant measures.
II the senate can keep down the
supply of bills introduced and keep
it's calendar clear; and if the house
can mercifully kill enough of the bills
introduced on its side TO prevent a
rush, the leaders of both houses feel
thai the measures coming up the last
few days will have just as much con-
sideration.

Y! WINTER STORM
THE FIRST BLIZZARD OF THE
SEASON PREVAILS In
THIS SECTION.

A winter storm Of full size blizzard
dimensions prevailed in this section
the past thirty-six hour, expending
its fury early this morning.
All day Saturday storm termpera-
ture prevailed with light wind from
the northeast, the snow quarter.
About 6 p. m. snow commenced fall
ing but cleared away and remained
passive for three or four hours to al
low Madison people to attend the
movies and return home in comfort.
About midnight the storm struck
in all its fury, high wind and a de-
LUCE of snow, and there was no ces-
sation of the blizzard from Saturday
night until early this morning. Tenn
perature fingered around the eight
degrees above zero mark all day yes
terday, but as night approached tenn
perature began falling and marked
twenty degrees below zero at seven
o'clock this morning. As the storm
subsidized, however, wind shifted to
southwesterly with rising tempera-
ture today.
All train service in Madison was
abandoned yesterday. The midnight
train from the east arrived on time,
was abandoned here and was the last
train to move in the Madison yards.
The passenger train from the south,
due to arrive here at $40 p. m, was
abandoned at Sioux Falls. The north
and west trains out of Madison Sat
urday afternoon, remained at Bris-
tol and Washington Springs, respect
lively, and did not return to Madison
until late this afternoon.
The storm was general, extending
far out of Madison in all directions.
AT Bristol on the north the storm
was much more severe than here,
railway men stating that the wind
almost reached hurricane proper
lions.
The amount of snow falling here
was not great, possibly five or six
inches, but it was piled in great
drifts along the streets.

Home in JUNE
SOUTH DAKOTA BOYS ON THE
MEXICAN BORDER.

Mitchell, Jan. 22.-South Dakota's
soldier boys expect to be relieved
from border duty SO that that they
can get home by June.
This is the message brought from
the South by Capt. e. B. Rowley, in
command of Company F, who is home
for a furlough to see his mother.
While the border soldiers have
figured in exciting skirmishes none
of Capt. Rowley's men have been ex-
posed to serious danger. The boys
have figured in no real thrills, he
declared.
THE type of Mexicans we get are
not game" said Capt. Rowley
They have a streak of yellow but
they will fight 1t they are in superior
numbers or have the advantage.
Their method is to fire a few shots
but If the enemy takes a determined
stand they u The Texans had a
great deal of trouble with the Mexi-
cans before the troops reached the
border but since the advent of the
soldiers all Mexicans on the Ameri-
can side are good Mexicans. They
are treacherous, however, and there
is no telling where to find them even
after they have worked for Ameri-
cans for years.
People at the border are worried
over their chances when the troops
are withdrawn. They feel that the
old troubles will break out and some
of them declare that they will aban-
don the country because they feel
they do not are to go through the
same troubles again. There are
$4,000 national guardsmen on the
border and the withdrawal of these
men will leave but 10000 regulars.
With 1900 miles Of border to pro-
tect 1t will be impossible for the men
to do much excepting police duty.
