THE STAGE COACH No LONGER
SEEN IN NATIONAL PARK


The old-fashioned stage coach has
passed from its last stand" in the
Yellowstone national park. IN 1915
Secretary Lane admitted private Ru-
tomObiles to the park. but retained
the horse-drawn stages. This neces-
STATED special motor schedules to
avoid accidents. The situation re
manned the same last season under
an enormous increase of motor trav-
eel. This season. however. the old
stages are replaced by a fleet of
seven and ten passenger cars. and
the restrictions to general automo-
bile travel are largely removed. The
work begun in 1915 is completed
The Yellowstone is motorized.
This change was not accomplished
wholly without opposition. Many
persons held that the old stages
should be retained for sentimental
and historical reasons. But. while
the department of the interior shar-
ed their regrets In the passing Of so
picturesque an institution. there was
no withstanding the march OF pro
gress. Visitors were increasing rap
idly and were demanding faster pas
sage between scenic spots than horse
drawn vehicles permitted. Those
with limited time complained that
more than half their visit was spent
in passage through embarrassing
lodgepole forests-time which they
wanted in the geyser basins, at the
canyon, and at the greater lakes
Others complained that the stage
rides were so exhausting that they
could not appreciate the great spec
tacles when they reached them. And
the demand OF touring motorists for
greater freedom grew even louder
and more insistent.
So progress had It's way and this
year we have a new Yellowstone.
The automobile service will be
adequate and rapid. Those who
have at their disposal only the six
days which was the necessary min
imum OF Yellowstone visit under
the old transportation system will
now be able to spend nearly all OF Il
at points of special scenic interest or
in seeing wilderness features never
seen by former visitors OF limited
stay.
AS for the motorist. he will now
be able to use the parks more than
two hundred miles of road with al
most the same freedom as roads any
where else in America.

state officials have been assessed .
fixed amount, which they paid.
But the personal contributions are
not In keeping with Democratic effic-
iency. il is pointed out. and il was
decided 70 replace ii with a cash-in-
advance policy
No other administration ever
forced the employees of the state to
pay one party or the other for the
privilege Of working In the capitol.
and the employees in the departments
that are not in politics are not be-
ing called on for contributions now
Neither are the employees in the de-
partments controlled by the Republi-
cans being made to divide their pay
checks with the party.
Keep 1t Up II Months
The policy of collecting from the
state officials is expected to continue
for II months. or until November /,
next year. II is expected to result
in the building up OF an immense
campaign fund that will aggregate
several thousand dollars.
Much fuss was made in the last
campaign about the alleged fabulous
salaries paid employees OF the state
at the capitol, but since the first of
the year many salaries have been in
creased; that has allowed a number
of those holding positions in the Of
fees presided over by Bourbons to
make their contributions without
cutting down their pay. More en-
ployes, too, are ON the payrolls than
ever before.
Much of the discomfort that has
arisen among the stenographers and
clerks is because Of the tax that they
are being forced to bear through the
action of the executive officers in in
creasing salaries in certain depart
ments, while in other departments
the salaries have remained station
airy.

WAR CAKE" WHICH RE-
QUIRES NO EGGS OR BUTTER

While war bread" has not yet
made its appearance at the Waldorf
Astoria, war cake" is on the menu,
and is making a big hit. says New
York dispatch. So many requests
have been received by the steward
and chef for the recipe Of the war
cake" that it has been given to the
press to save any more correspond
ence. This is the composition:
No eggs. no butter, two cucfuls of
brown sugar, 2 cupfuls of hot water,
two tablespoonfuls OF lard. one pack
age raisins, one teaspoonful of salt.
one teaspoonful of ground cinnamon,
one teaspoonful of ground cloves.
Boil all these ingredients for five
minutes after they begin to bubble.
When cold add three cupfuls of flour.
one teaspoonful baking soda dis
solved in one teaspoonful hot water.
Bake in two loaves for 45 minutes
in a slow oven. This cake is better
at the end of a week or so.

the more eareiessly potatoes are
pared, the more OF the valuable odi-
BILE substance goes with the skin Al
bushel Of potatoes weighs 80 pounds.
d peck 15 pounds When potatoes
are selling at $12O buahel, or 80
cents peck. they therefore cost 2
cents pound. n their fuel value
is one-fifth that OF rice. they furnish
fuel at about the same cost an rice at
10 cents a pound and at about twice
the cost OF corn meal or hominy az
) cents a pound. When potatoes cost
$40 a bushel. or 90 cents q peck
they are about twice as expensive a.
sources of fuel as rice At 10 cents.
and four times as expensive as corn
meal or hominy at 5 cents a pound.
These comparisons show that, merely
for providing fuel, potatoes are often
more expensive than rice. and prac.
tieally always more expensive than
corn meal or hominy. A vas point
ed out above. potatoes often are re-
lied on not merely as source of
fuel, but also as a source of some
of the mineral matters needed by the
body. They are usually among this
most economical Of the vegetables
which serve this second purpose. be
cause they supply a generous amount

INTERCHANGEABLE FOODS.
Let Cost Determine What Source of
Starch TO Use-PotatOes as n
Source OF Starch.

Rice, wheat, and corn, the com
mon starchy foods eaten in the mixed
diet usual In most families, are re
lied on mainly as sources of energy
to the body. and have about the same
value, pound for pound. says the q.
s. Department OF Agriculture News
Letter. Therefore. II rice, wheat
flour, cracked wheat, corn meal, or
hominy cost the same per pound.
they are equally cheap fuel foods
Such foods. therefore, can be freely
/ interchanged II foods like meat,
milk, eggs or beans and fruits OF
vegetables are eaten also.
Most wheat breakfast foods and
wheat pastes. like maearoni or spag.
hetti, also have about the same en-
ergy value as wheat flour, corn, and
rice. They differ very much in APP
pearance and also in bulk. according
to the method Of manufacture, and
the cost cannot be judged merely by
the size of the package TO be OBJ
tanned for or 10 cents. Now that
the law requires the net weight to
be marked on the outside Of every
package, 1t is easy to reckon how
much the food material actually
costs a pound. Thus II the net
weight of a 10-eent package OF
breakfast food is 8 ounces. a pound,
or 16 ounces, would cost 20 cents.
AS q general rule-and very justly
the simpler preparations. which II
has taken less time and labor TO put
up, cost less than the more elabor.
ate ones. Those sold in bulk usu.
ally cost less than those sold In car.

eide whether the variety and con
venience OF the more expensive kinds
compensates for the extra cost. II
any case before she can choose wise
" she must have reckoned how muef

Leaving aside cost OF preparation

STATE HOUSE EMPLOYEES
TAXED FOR CAMPAIGN FUND

According to the Boise Statesman
the peaceful quiet of the statehouse
is over Swallowed these DAYS by the
ugly form Of discomfort that stalks
abroad in the cool retreats and the
offices of the big stone building. and
the harmony that has existed there
for months is about to give way to
disappointment and bitter reproach:
the dove of peace threatens to seek
protection from the eagle that roosts
atop the dome; the flowers on the
lawn are dropping and hanging their
heads, and the elevator has taken to
groaning and mumbling as ii makes
its way up and down its narrow
shaft.
All that unhappiness, it is said.
has been brought about by the action
of the administration in assessing all
Democrats connected with it for the
prosecution of the state campaign in
1913. The burden has fallen alike
on the just and unjust and it is said,
none who owes his position to Bour-
bon politics has been allowed to es-
cape, although some OF the clerks
and stenographers have attempted to
evade the payment of their dues. De-
murrers, however, have been over
ruled and the administration threat
ems to suspend habaes corpus pro-
ceedings and cast out without trial
any who fail to lay the golden
shekels in the jack pot when the war
rants are cashed, for it is said that
payments are expected monthly.
No Excuses Accepted
No excuses are being accepted
Word has been passed about that
politics Is politics and that those who
cont play under the rules of the
game as laid down can throw up
their hands and pass out.
Only employees in the departments
under the control of the Democrats
are being made to contribute toward
the campaign fund. Some are obey
ing meekly and without question;
others are obeying, but not without
protest. There has been talk OF a
walkout, but the lack of a leader has
kept the movement from gaining
strength, and there is little likeli-
hood, from surface observations, that
there will be an open clash. Should
a strike be called it would necessi-
tate the closing of number OF Of
fices until other stenographers and
clerks could be found to replace the
unruly ones.
Cash I'm Advance Method New
In the past it has been customary
for both the principal political par
ties in the state to solicit reason
able contribution from their mem
bers. The contributions are gener-
ally asked for about the time head
quarters are opened preparatory to
the launching of campaign. The
state officials, their deputies, stem
ographers and clerks have always
been asked to make personal con
tributions, although generally the

That the United States Steel Cor

government $95 a ton FOR steel for the
proposed commercial feet as COM
pared with $50 a ton for steel for the

a profit OF $4OOOO,0OO to the corpora

Gen. George Goethals, general man
ager OF the governments Emergency

mitted by the steel company through
the Raw Material Committee of the

satisfactory, but that he had been
