AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR- TIERS, France, Nov. 5-As matter of fact no one hates the poor old blob stick. It's the character of the thing that makes Sammy fling himself for ward with fierce yells and savage jabs with his gleaming bayonet.

A pole about seven feet long. with wire ring of one end of it and the blob on the other-that's a blob stick. The blob is 8 simple knob of wadding, tied up with burlap GOV CT. Sammy caught the Idea after one demonstration by a British sergeant. He savvied right off the bat that the blob stick is his enemy. He must jab that blob with his own blade, or poke the bayonet through the wire ring or the German will kill him.

comparison between the homemade
soap and the soap you buy. The pro
cess is as follows:
Forty-four pounds OF strained
grease are put to boil. Into this are
poured eight 12-ounce cans of I've
About II quarts of water are then
added and the mixture allowed tC
boil for a little over an hour. A COM
mon wash tub is used for this pur-
pose. The mixture is then allowed
to cool and is then cut into hunks
and they are boiled again, being
thinned until the mixture is about
as thick as linseed oil.
To make small amounts the pro-
portions are five pounds grease to
one pound I've to one and one-half
quarts of water. In second boiling
the product is thinned to suit.

THINKS FARMERS IN
NEED OF HELP

A letter has been received from
James Williamson, of Aberdeen, call.
ing attention to the great need oil
many farmers in respect to seed and
feed so they a get the most out
of their farms this season Mr.. Will.
hanson is a house-to-house solicitor
and says he knows whereof he
speaks.
Scores, perhaps hundreds, of the
ipoorer farmers in eastern Idaho are
without seed grain, and even -four
this spring." writes Mr.. Williamson.
They have their places fenced,
their ground plowed and are ready to
go to work sowing, but they have
neither seed grain, hay, cats for
their horses, nor ever flour to eat"
Under such conditions Mr.. Will
Hanson wonders if it will pay the
state and county to allow these lands
to be idle this summer. He suggests
that the county commissioners lend
some county money, which is lying
comparatively idle in the county
banks now. Make business-like ar
engagements so the money will be
paid back. The writer knows scores
of farmers who would doubtless
jump at such an offer. The need is
now pressing, he is sure.
The editor of The Republican has
been out among the farmers and he
finds not so much of these conditions.
Besides, farmers with security need
only to go to the men with money,
or the banks to get loans.

HOME ECONOMICS

TALLY grown and fresh from the
ground they have a delicious flavor,
and are SO tender that they may be
cooked without water. AS the car
rot grows old the flavor grows
stronger, and in the majority of
varieties the heart grows hard and
woody. When the carrot reaches
this stage only the outer layers are
desirable for food.
Carrots with White Sauce
Scrape the carrots lightly; then
cut into large dice or slices. Put in
to a stewpan with sailed boiling
water, allowing a teaspoonful of salt
for a quart of water, and boil until
tender. The young carrots will cook
in 80 minutes and the old ones in As.
Drain. season with a little salt, put
them in a vegetable dish, and pour
the white sauce over them. Or the
carrots may be cut into dices before
cooking and boiled and drained as
directed; then put them back in the
stewpan, and for every pint add one
tablespoonful of butter, one tea

of sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt.
and one gill of water or meat stock
Cook over a hot fire until the car
rots have absorbed the seasonings
and liquid. Also the carrots are
good boiled and fried in butter or
meat drippings.
Parsnips
This vegetable, because of it's pro
nounced taste, is probably not so
generally liked as are most of the
other roots. 1t is at it's best in the
early spring, when it has been in
the ground all winter.
The simplest method of cooking
the parsnip is to wash it clean, boil
it, and then scrape off the skin,
Now cut in slices and put in the vege-
table dish. Season with salt and but
ter. When the parsnips are tender
and just out of the ground they will
cook in 35 minutes; if old it takes
from 40 to SO minutes to cook them.
The cooked and peeled parsnips may
be chopped rather coarse, seasoned
with salt, and put into a stewpan
with hot milk enought to cover them.
Place the stewpan or the range
where the heat is moderate.
For a pint and a half of parsnips
beat together one tablespoonful of
butter and one t~easpoonful of flour.
Stir into the parsnips and milk. Sim
mer for 10 minutes. Parsnips are
often cut in slices after boiling and
fried in butter.

thread IN the shuttle by machine. He
made a shuttle with a detachable
bobbin. The bobbin slips over the
winding shaft of any sewing ma
chine. When the thread is wound
on it you insert it in the shuttle
again and go to tatting.
The invention is very simple and
may be manufactured at small cost.
Mr.. Roemisch has received a number
of offers by manufacturers who
would take charge of his device and
put it on the market, but he is wait
ing to learn if he can not interest
home capital in the article. The
above cut shows the shuttle. and the
bobbin. The bobbin is the smaller
member and when filled with thread
is fastened to the shuttle and operat-
ed just as any tatting shuttle.
