Unfortunately, we products of civIiza

an exclusive banana menu as that of the
African savage, If we tried to adopt it,
would so jade our taste in week that
we would be about ready TO surrender
to starvation rather than look at ba-
mana again.
There is no reason, however, since the
banana may be served in variety of
ways, why we cannot use this fruit more
freely than most of us do as a substitute
for the meat and wheat that the u. S.
food administration urges us TO save TO
send TO the allies.
In buying bananas, first be sure that
the fruit is thoroughly ripe. The only
way to make green banana digestible is
to peel and boil them in boiling water for
25 minutes. Cooked so, they may be
served as a vegetable.
If raw bananas do not agree with YOU,
bake them. In this state they are very
easily digested, To do this, peel and
cut them lengthwise into halves before
putting them into the baking pan. Have
your oven moderately warm and bake
about 10 minutes. A little sweetening
and lemon juice gave a pleasant flavor.
Bananas in rye bread sandwiches are
always liked by the children. Two such
sandwiches, with glass of milk, make u
nourishing and well balanced lunch for a
school girl or boy.
Other ways of eating bananas include
frying, serving them cut up in apple
sauce, or rice, putting them into pud-

REPLYING TO COLONEL LEECRAFT.

A LETTER was received by The Times Saturday from
Colonel A. N. Leecraft, secretary OF the state board OF
affairs, in which he referred to an editorial, Inviting
Bankruptcy" which appeared in The Times a few days
ago in connection with the binding Irvine plant at the
state penitentiary.
The Times maintained that il this state had a small
legislature that would be in continuous session the
purchase OF material for the Irvine mill could be handled
better than under the present method Of appropriations by
the bt ennial legislature.
Colonel Leccraft states that he believes the Times
wishes to be fair in this matter. In that presumption he IS
correct The editorial was based on remarks which Colonel
leecrait made in a public address in Oklahoma City last
week. lie was quoted in the newspaper as follows:
Because the Fifth Legislature. failed to make an
"n'Hops'.,.on cary enough oWnh :. to nmrcn "" ms mISn 'T n
able to supply tho demand.
Now comes Colonel Leecraft in his letter to The Times
with the following statement:
Relieving that you wan, to be fair, your attention
t. ,, called to tn" fact ,hst the las, legislature was very
sisal for tho twine plant at tho penitentiRTy
The Times has no discussion with Colonel Leecraft
He said that the appropriation was not made early enough
he states that the appropriation was liberal.
The Times contends that we need a smaller legislature
so that raw material can be bought for the Irvine plant
earlier than the legislature can buy it. Even il the appro-
priation is liberal, BUT LATE, the Irvine plant and the
farmers suffer.
If we had a legislature that could be in session con
stantly, just as Colonel Leecraits board Of affairs i, in
session, we'd get better government. 1t happens that the
state board OF affairs makes large purchases for state in
situations at times when market prices invite such invest
mcnts OF the public funds, The taxpayers save money by
the process. II the legislature would turn over some more
purchasing authority to the board of affairs, then the
taxpayers would see more OF their money saved.
In other words, II we'd convert the legislature into a
comprehensive board Of affairs, the taxpayers would get
more for their money and the public Irvine plant would not
run out of goods, when the farmers needed Irvine. A small
legislative body in session all the time would conduct
affairs so that the state would not be in the position Of
inviting bankruptcy.
