UTILIZATION OF LAND.

With our vast spaces of tillable soil. the American people have looked at small tracts of land as negligible. Now they are seeing the results in the high price of farms and shortage of food supply. Berea. college of Ken lucky has a good idea, in it's proposi- tion to develop farming on mountain lands in that vicinity Not more than a fourth of the land can be titled. but even that is important.
 Over in Europe, on steep hillsides, every foot is made available by use of terraces. Consequently populations are supported over there that would starve here on ten times the area.
 Tn many sections of our country, where land has been regarded as nearly worthless, there are plenty of tracts that could be made available. In hilly regions the trouble is usually the lack of energy of the inhabitants. In arid and marshy districts. it is usu- ally lack of capital for irrigation and drainage. Millions of money that go into wildcat projects should be spent in improving lands. The food producing resources of the United States are scarcely more than scratch ed.

PROMISE OF SPRING.

Something tells me spring is coming
 Seem to feel it in the air; Just that subtle, conscious sentience Of sweet mystery everywhere. Sunbeams in the morn awake me
 With a promise half concealed; That the day has banished winter
 From the meadow, wood and field And at times a breath of vioIets
 Steals upon the gentle breeze, While gay songs of birds returning Trill among the leaf1ess trees In my veins the blood is rushing,
 Leaping, pounding everywhere; All outdoors is calling to me,
 For the spring is hiding near!

THE CHEAPEST
 FO0DSTUFF

From every point of view, fish is still the cheapest fooodstuff in the market. While other commodities have gone up in price from ten to five hundred per cent, sea foods, despite adverse weather conditions, the war, the decrease in the size of the fishing fleet, and a far-reaching dshermen's strike, have, in most cases, not in- creased at all in price, and ill others have risen about five per cent.
 In considering the cost of food stuffs, there are many elements to be taken into consideration. Tine food value of given produce, meaning it's strength-giving and heatgiving prop critics, the waste material the pur- chaser is forced to buy, and the difh- culty or ease with which it is pre- pared for the table, enter very large ly into the problem.
 For anyone who doubts the food value of fish, the United States Gov ernment experts have prepared long and intricate tables showing to an atom the amount of heat and the strength giving qualities of fish as compared with meats5and vegetables. This proves that fish stands as a very healthy, nutritious food
 1nasmuch as the Government ex- perts have thoroughly settled the question of the actual food value of fish, this phase of the question need not be considered here. There re- mains the question of waste, and of ease of preparation for the table.
 Every housewife knows that there is a certain amount of waste to all meats. In purchasing any variety of meat in which there is bone or fat, the housewife is forced to pay for the weight of these waste materials There are bones in fish. but the weight of these bones is nil, and waste from this source is eliminated.
 When buying fish with the head on, the housewife should, if she be a pecunious soul, insist on taking the head home with her. It is an excel lent base for fish chowder. Conse- quently, there should De no waste here. When a housewife pays from ten to twelve cents for pound of haddock, for example, she gets a full pound of food for her money.
 Furthermore, contrary to an opin- ion which for some years was some what general in this country, cold cooked fish is not waste material. The addition of a little salt makes it ex- cellent material for fish balls, or, dur ing the reign of prohibitive potato prices, the addition of a little rice. or cheese, and some white sauce, makes an excellent breakfast or supper dish.
 There is no vegetable with which fish cannot be served. While, as in the case of meats. a rich and expen- sive sauce may add to the flavor, of the meal, there is no need of such a sauce. z Nothing, for example could be more tasty than a properly cooked dish of plain broiled fish, garnished with slice of onion; or a chowder in which rice or macaroni takes the place of the potato.
 Economical, so far as the actual outlay of cash is concerned, of good food value, minus waste, and simple to. cook, fish is indeed the cheapest foodstuff in the markets these days.

STANDS BY AMERICANS.

Melbourne, Australia. March 22.- Reference to American firms repre- sented in Australia was made by the prime minister. MT. Hughes, lately. When a deputation from the Anti German League of Victoria waited ron him to propose la Legislation to
 A hibit firms from using names sug- sesting British or Australian nation ality unless the stockholders were British or Australians. Mr. Hughes re- piled:
 "If the mercantile and industrial community is prepared to support me ! will introduce legislation to pre- vent firms in fact foreign from trad ing under British names. The depu- tation Is treading on dangerous ground in speaking of American firms, for to-day America is nSutra1 but to- tnorrow she may be an ally and legis- lation rehecting on her cannot be in- ,roduced.''

RUSSIA AWAKES!

Like ray of dawn that trenlbies
 through the night And pales it's shadows to an ashen
 gray, Then floats them like a cloud of
 morn away, So strikes across the world the level
 light Of Freedoms growing dawn, in splen-
 dor dight! New voices thrill the dark with
 word of day And challenge comes to hoary
 Wrong at bay From hosts that only wait the word to
 smite! Freedom! Still thy gifts are
 bought with life And travail long of sad, unnumber-
 ed years But not in vain the age-long night
 and strife, And way with dead hopes strewn
 and bitter tears! We greet the dawn that just escaped
 their sight, 'The Brotherhood of Men" our
 watchword bright! Sheer strength no longer holds the
 world in night, Nor shadow of great names and
 glory past; Not Kaiser, Car, with their domin-
 ions vast, Are strong as youthful Freedoms
 growing might, Whose strength in Love and whose
 sole law is Right! To! Thronging up the steeps of Time
 at last See Russia's hosts beneath her ban
 ner massed, Their purpose stern to win fair Free
 dom's height! Long centuries bowed meath autocrat-
 ic blight, The mighty nation stirs at trumpet
 call, Shakes off it's slumbers, arms itself
 for fight, Like Spartan heroes vowed to win

 There are men who mean well, but unfortunately make the worst kind of an impression upon strangers the first time they are brought in contact with them, This is especially the case with thoughtless youths, who have not studied the art of how to behave in women's company Many a. | young man makes the foolish mistake of con- ducting himself in too free manner on the first occasion if a young girl permits him to see her home. It shocks a sensitive young woman if a man calls her by her first name the first hour in which he has made her acquaintance. It nonaplusses her when he attempts to joke with her. She is at loss what to say to him if he makes bold enough to hold her hand as she extends it for simple good night courtesy. He may have meant to be very agreeable, but he has taken an extraordinary method of obtaining a ilogd on her friendship.
 A man stamps himself as rowdy if he is rash enough to attempt to snatch 8 kiss from girl as he is about to leave her at her doorstep. Men know how they admire a modest maiden. In that same way do young women admire a courteous, bashful young man. The young man who does not know how to keep his respectful dis tance should not attempt to go in the society of sweet, timid girls. Young girls are apt to repeat to their mothers the story of unpleasant episodes that happen to them. And those wise mothers take the precaution of cross ing that young mans name off daugh- ter's list of callers for all time The bold young man be entirely harmless. But it is difficult to make people be- lieve in him.
 If loved daughter is allowed to go to and from a place escorted by young man parents want to feel that they have perfect confidence in him. The young man who appears quiet and HUMMELSHINE, Hieiy pt Uy lar the SfeALer rascal of the two. But he knows how to cloak his true sentiments. ''Still water runs deep" He passes for a gentleman. The dough diamond may be, at heart, worthy fellow. But if he shows the rough. unpublished side of his nature to women, he will never get further than slight lowing acquaint- ance with this discerning fair sex.

NEW RECORDS FOR
 TALKING MACHINE

There is no more romantic figure in the world of music today than the young Spaniard with the miracle voice-Hipolito Lazaro. One little in cident is told about his latest record ing-''M'Appari," from Flotow's .sMartha',-that will interest the great tenor's admirers. As he sang. Lazaro became transported with the lovely theme of the aria. The glor- ious notes fell from his lips aglow with thrilling beauty that enthrall ed the conductor. And when the dramatic climax was reached the con- ductor shouted Bravo! Bravo" The recording machine was still in opera tion, and the sensitive wax caught the spontaneous exclamations of the conductor. Needless to say, for req sons of modesty, the Columbia Com pany decided on a second recording. But this time, when the climax was approached, LaZaro reached forth and grasped the foot of the conduc- tor standing above him as a precau- tion to silence.
 America's violin phenomenon, Frank Gittelson. has given lovers of classic melody delightful Columbia record rendition of the Boccherini "Minuet,' accompanied by Charles A.. Prince. the distinguished pianist. There is a garceful vivacious beauty of rhythm in this exquisite etching that is played with the graceful suavity of execution that won the sim cere praise of one of Gittelsons con- temporaries, the great Arthur Nikisch, who proclaimed Gittelson master of tonal beauty that is heard but once or twice in a generation.
 Lucy Gates, who recently gained fresh. honors as the prima donna in the New York production of '"The I'm pressario," has made unique Colum- bia recording of "The Nightingale Song.' Miss Gates is accompanied by the clever whistler, Sybil Sanderson Pagan, an ideal accompanist for the Bird Lady" as Lucy Gates has some times been called because of the bird like purity of her voice. The flood of bird-nelody that answers the prima- donna's pleadingly sweet call is so realistic that 1t would seem that the spell of the 'Bird Lady's" lovely so- prano had lured fair little brown nightingale from ;s.e forest.
 Palmetto Hop" the last word in one-steps from Columbia, demon strates that even the one-step may be symbolic without losing any of it's pep. This stirring dance seems to have caught the rhythm of the swaying palmetto trees of Florida. And Princes Band, in playing it, has giv- en it some of the brilliance of South ern sunshine.
