MR. sTRAUs WILL HELP FINANCE

New York Tribune: Nathan straua
the grand old man or american
Jewry,S last night declared at Cooper
union that he would finance the jour

Palestine with him when JEWISH

waving their banners wildly.
I'VE are living through an age when
we are about to realize the 1000 year
old hope of the Jewish people, said
Mr.. Straus. And l am especially
glad that we are witnessing the spec"
tacle Of the whole world applauding.
approving and supporting our great
purpose to re-establish the jewish
people on their own soil. For the
whole world has come to recognize
the justice of our demand-that our
dearly beloved Palestine, the land or
Jewish hearts desire, should be re-
stored to u.s. s.
And now, in this hour of triumph
we must not forget our great IDEAL
That ideal is the establishment OF
publicly recognized, legally securSu
home for the Jews in Palentine, no
more and no less. For this we must.
stand firm. We must not make any
compromise of this, the ultimate or
our centuries long struggle. The DAY
of our triumph must find us prepared
and worthy. May we be prepared
may we be worthy, so that Wnen the
powers turn to us to give us what we
have asked for during the centuries,
they will find us prepared to assume
our new task-the great task or re-
building our land.

laboring man, was found lying UNI
der lone tree near the Burns ditch

opened pint bottle and a piece Of
summer sausage. An Ingersoll watch,
$2.40 in cash and two packages Of
cigarets were found in the pockets
of his clothing.

Sunday when he was brought in at
o'clock in the afternoon. He was
turned loose on Monday morning. AS
it was evident that the man stayed

tives and there was not a scrap Of
writing Of any nature to indicate that

ARE
IRREGULAR

Chicago, June 21-wheat: Prices
were irregular today. On the bulges
offerings were fair but trade was with
out special significance. Weather con-
ditions generally favorable and in the
far southwest harvesting is making
considerable progress. Buyers are not
disposed to contract for wheat under
present conditions. with the result that
the cash markets are heavy under mod
crate offerings. Foreign conditions are
unchanged. The trade is inclined to go
slow until there is more definite idea
of what the government intends to do
in the way of controlling prices.
Corn has been erratic, being weak
early and rallying later. The market
easily becomes oversold and short COW
ering brings about quick rallies. Cash
trade is fair and the sample markets
have been stronger relatively the last
few days than the futures. Weather
predictions are for more rain. General
conditions are not unfavorable for the
new crop.
Oats: Oats showed a frmer tone,
rallying with corn. Offerings are mod
crate and there has been good commits
sion house buying. Crop outlook is
favorable, but at present the market is
influenced by the cash situation.
which is fairly strong.
Provisions: Provisions were lower
and receipts fair. Cash trade is fair
and there has been some export BUSH
ness which helped sustain prices. The
market has good support on setbacks

MAKING HAY

In making hay the aim should be
to dry the plant with but little ex-
posture to the sun and to save all the
leaves. The leaves. whether of a
grass or q, legume plant are richer in
food than the stems. Exposure to the
sun also causes a loss of the fiavoring
material and 1t is this that helps make
the hay palatable. The moisture in
the plant naturally passes out through
the leaves. If they are allowed to dry
first the moisture in the stem cannot
pass out through them but must pass
out through the walls of the stem which
is not the natural way for 1t to go
and SO is slow. The ideal way to cure
hay is to put it into windrows or cocks
soon after it is cut. This keeps the
leaves in condition for drawing off the
moisture and 1t prevents the leaves
from breaking off. Hay in the cock
or windrow while feeling moist may
really be a good deal drier than hay
that has been exposed to the sun so
that the leaves are dry enough to be
brittle but the stems full OF moisture.

THE NEWSPAPER GAME"
II is no Longer a Game But Very Ser
ious Business.

ious Business.
New York Herald: In a few weeks
the graduating classes of Yale, Harv-
ard, Vassar, Wellesley and other coll
leges will swarm out into the bright
June sunshine of world that they
now regard through roseate glasses,
1t is safe to assume that nearly every
one of these youths and maidens is
cherishing dreams of career" in art
or letters and 1t is certain that many
of them are eager to enter what is
now widely known as the newspaper
game.
A few months of drudgery in Park
row will rob these buoyant ones OF
many of the illusions that they have
CLEANED from those novels of journal
istic life in which the hero rises from
the reportoriaI ranks through a few
brilliant scoops" and becomes a war
correspondent at a large salary. They
will learn that the business of news
gathering has been SO systematized OF
late years that very few scoops are
found in the path of the reporter.
They will learn also that journalism
Of today is controlled by q, far higher
code Of ethics than in the remote past
"a condition amply proved by the
self-imposed silence OF the great dali
les on matters of value to the nations
enemies.
The newspaper profession has been
robbed Of much of its old time ronn-
ance, but it has gained in solidity by
the change. 1t offers opportunities to
the sober and thoughtful young man
rather than to the Smart" and tricky
one. In nearly all journals of stand
ing personal integrity counts for a
great deal. The dashing youth who
writes brilliantly when drunk lives
only in the pages Of mendacious fec
ton. In short, the newspaper business
is no longer a game.

SAVE SUGAR IN JELLY MAKING.
Simple Alcohol Test Prevents Waste Of
Sugar and Failure of Jellies.

Simple Alcohol Test Prevents Waste OF
Sugar and Failure of JeIIies.
Washington, D. C.-Much waste OF
sugar and spoilage of jellies can be
avoided by using a simple alcohol test
recommended by the bureau Of chem
istry United States department Of
agriculture. To determine how much
sugar should be used with each kind
of juice put spoonful Of Juice in a
glass and add to it one spoonful of 90
per cent grain alcohol, mixed by shak-
ing the glass gently. Pour slowly from
the glass; noting how the pectin-the
substance in fruits which makes them
jell-is precipitated. II the pecttn is
precipitated as one lump a cup of
sugar may be used for each cup of
juice; If in several Jumps the proper
ton Of sugar must be reduced to ap-
proximately three -fourths the amount
of the juice. If the pectin is not in
Jumps but is merely precipitated, the
sugar should be one-half or less OF
the amount of the juice. If the juice
shows no precipitation under this test,
it Is unsuitable for jelly making and
must be combined with apples or 9TH
er juices rich in pectin.
The housewife will do well before
making the test, to taste the juice, as
fruits not as acid as good tart apples
probably will not make good jelly UNI
less mixed with other fruits which
are acid,

Of your paintings do you consider your
best work? When, where and why did
you paint it? How much did it bring
you in? Who is your favorite dead

But at this point the artist seized the
interviewer by the arm and began in
his turn:
"Just a moment. please. What is
your name, age and salary? Is jour-
nalism with you life work or mere
ly a means to higher literary end?
How do you like your editor? State

shoes are made OF the toughest and

to outwear a dozen tanned hide shoes.
This is because the grass fiber soles

POSSIBILITIES Of BAD vERsE.

New Republic: No one has yet
written any adequate appreciation of
the possibilities Of bad verse. The
verse, mean, that is composed at
the crises of life, on the mountain
tops of exultation and in the joyless
valleys, by, persons unslilled and
ordinarily unpoetic. The verse that is
hidden away in vases and bureau
drawers. never to be shown, and al
ways produced in some moment of
vanity. Only a true poet could write
a just appreciation of bad verse; and
from his pen the words would come
too much tainted with the implication
of irony. The quality of bad verse is
not strained. 1t is written to suit no
magazines policy. 1t is rewarded with
no check. 1t is a brave denying Of
reality; a prayer that is its own an
swer. 1t is, to use Maeterlinck's
phrase, "a making or invoking Of
wings by creatures that creep on their
bellies.
