BIackbirds of Two Kinds;
One Deserves No Quarter,
Other Has Good Qualities

The lark has two sable relatives,
very numerous, which have long been
of i'll repute. One is the grackle, our
common big, snaky keel-tailed "black-
Bird" and he deserves the black eye
he has (actually, by the way, that Or
gan is Of maniacal straw Yellow,
and his place in the list Of birds with
out protection. He does destroy many
bad bugs, especially cutworms and
other ground infesting nuisances, but
he also Furnishes the grain, spoils a
deal Of corn in the milk and systemati-
cally raids the nests of his smaller
neighbors, the weed seed cleaners and
small insect scourges, breaking their
eggs and Draining their helpless young.
So it might be all right to eat grackles
if grackles were not decidedly too
tough and strong to eat.
But the other blackbird the redwing,
that fine steel black march bugler with
the orange scarlet epaulettes, can be
eaten, can when focked in autumn be
slaughtered wholesale with the spread
ing charge of a shotgun, and although
he too takes some toll of the grain
and the corn in ear investigation has
established his overbalancing worth.

Jack Rabbits Which Live
on Deserts of Southwest
Are Never Known to Drink.

A very curious feature of anlmal
life in the deserts Of the Southwest Isl
that rabbits, quail, SQUIRRELS, deer, an
telope, the mountain sheep and many
kinds Of reptiles and insects live at
great distances from visible water
The jack rabbit is especially notablel
in this respect; and, moreover, IL:
flourishes in regions without particle;
of green food in sight for miles ana
miles.
Westerners assert that the jack
rabbit may be found, happy and tat,,
spending the day under scrap or
bush that makes little more shade than'
q fishnet. His skin il as porous as q
piece Of buckskin, and the heat IS
sufficient to evaporate every drop or
blood in his body; yet he seems to get
on very nicely.
Californians aver chat no one has even
seen a jack rabbit drink. Those VINO
have camped for days in the deserts
in vicinities where the only water for'
miles around was to be found, ana
with rabbits everywhere, declare that
never does one Of the little fellows
come to the springs to drink. Men
have even gone so far as to examine
the margins Of waterholeS in those dis
tricts, with never a track OF the rap
bit disclosed beyond where the grass
grew.

Nn M~f~seQ
Bargain in Islands.

La Gobernadora, an island, five miles
long and four miles wide, in the Pa
cific, just 100 miles from the Panama
canal, and nearer that waterway than
any insular possession Of the United
States, little dot in the mighty ocean,
and described as gem, is offered for
sale. says an exchange. It would, it IS
said, have been purchased by Germany
long ago, but it was owned by Nine. L.
Ruecke-Vallarina, Partisan, who
would not sell it to that nation, or to
anyone likely to do so, ND matter what
the consideration. Circumstances grow
ing out of the times now compel Nine.
L. Ruecke-Vallarino to replenish her
cash resources, but she will strive to
hold the island, at any cost, rather than
have it pass into the hands of interests
unfriendly to the United States. Per-
haps Uncle Sam may, at least, take the
trouble to look at it.

Most Women Serve Too Many
Varieties of Food at One
Meal, Says College Expert.

Food conservation is quite as impor-
tant as food production. People OF
this country can profit by the expert
ence of European nations at war, and
at the same time effect a great saving
in their living expenses. European
peoples started conserving food when
they were forced to do so, but the peo-
pie of this country can avert the ne
cessity by beginning now. These are
the conclusions Of food experts.
Miss Bah Bell of the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture is Of the opinion
that most women serve too many foods
at meal. "A meal may be well-bal-
anced and appetizing, and still be SUBJ
ject to reduction without loss to body
needs" said Miss Bell. by cutting
down the number Of foods served the
cost of meals can be materially de-
creased. Furthermore, there is no ne
cessity for folks to eat more than they
need. By doing without the excess
which is usually consumed, we can
make available just that much more
food for future needs"
Miss Bell cited the following meal
as typical: "Clear soup, maccaroni
and cheese, lettuce and beet salad, ap-
pie sauce, bread and butter, cream
pie" This meal will be just as we'll
balanced and much more economical
if it Is simplified thus: Macaroni and
cheese, lettuce salad, bread and but
ter, apple sauce.
I'm like manner" she concluded, lin
planning meals, see first that the nee
essary classes of food are represented
and then see how few dishes may be
served, rather than how many"

Nobody ever made a real sue

ness.
It's human nature to 60 to
some swell cafe to study human
nature, where everything except
what is real human nature can
be found.
A virtue that is boosted Of Is
usually a very new possession.
A man can live down vicious
past, but a fellow is fool to
handicap himself to that ex-
tent.
No man is strong enough to
carry a grudge and do justice
to himself, too.
Being a good fellow downtown
is all right enough in its way,
but save a little of your good
nature for use when you get
home.

Ferdinand Schupp.
beat the Cubs. COakley was only In
terested in what Schupp was putting
on the ball.
"That fellow" said Andy, "is some
pitcher! I don't see how anyone bats
against him effectively. He has the
best curve ball I've ever looked at and
I've looked at a few in my time.
1.-THE most remarkable thing about
it Is his control of it. He sweeps 1t
over the outer edge high or low, or on
the inside, with as great ease as Mat
ty used to. I never saw southpaw
pitch that way. The more stuff they
have, the wilder they usually are.
"Schupp has wonderful poise. He
never lets the batter work him. He
keeps the upper hand all the time.
Unless you sit here and watch every
ball he throws you cannot appreciate
the wonder Of his work.
HE sat around on the bench a long
time, but it didn't do him any harm.
This is really his first year as regu-
lar, but he knows all the tricks Of a
veteran of half a dozen years of
twirling.
II don't want to seem extravagant
in my praise, but If there has ever
been Schupp's equal in recent years he
has escaped my notice. I wouldn't
give him for any pitcher in baseball
today if he were my property"

War Museums

The war museum Of the Avenue NAL
akoff, in Paris, is to have counterparts
In London, as we'll as in Berlin. The
Berlin scheme is a gigantic one, aiming
at nothing less than collection Of
everything printed in connection with
the war. The London project, which
is that of Sir Alfred Mond, has only
just been sanctioned by the cabinet. It
seems that one Of it's most interesting
features will be a collection of the
proclamations issued in various parts
Of the empire during the war, among
which will be the Bagdad proclama-
ton, and such contrasts as the stately
proclamation of the city of London and
that issued in "pidgin" English to the
natives Of New Guinea.

Poultry Pointers.

Do not allow ducklings and goslings
to swim, for that checks their growth.
A late-hatched chick we'll grown is
more profitable than an early chick
that has been neglected.
Never allow growing chicks to occu-
by the same yards or to run with the
matured fowls, but keep the young
sters separate on clean ground.
Much of the profit in poultry raising
depends on whether the chicks grow
rapidly and uniformly, and that means
whether they have the right kind of
care and feed.
There is no economy in feeding en-
tirely on one grain, or even two grains,
because better results can be obtained
for less money if a variety is furnished
the fowls and chicks.
Although young geese will some
times pick up enough food to keep
from starving, they will not make
enough growth to be profitable unless
fed literally when young and given
enough feed to make up, with what
they get on the range, full ration.
Clean ground, where other chicks or
fowls have not been during the sea-
son, is necessary for the best results
with little chicks, especially the late
Matched ones, because ground which
has been used by others is likely to be
more or less foul and may contain dis
ease germs.
Be sure that ducklings and goslings
are given water in dishes, fountains or
troughs large enough SO that the most
of the flock can drink at one time dur
ing meals, and 50 arranged that each
can get it's head into the water up 10
its eyes but cannot tip the dish over or
get it's feet into the water.

Gooseberry Soup.

Take two pounds Of gooseberries,
two quarts of water, two cupfuls of
sugar, two tablespoonful Of corn
starch, the yolks Of two eggs and an
inch stick of cinnamon. Wash the
gooseberries and put them into a
saucepan with the water and sugar.
Add tho cinnamon and boil until the
fruit IL reduced to pulp. Then strain
and thicken with the cornstarch, mixed
to a paste with four tablespoonful of
cold water. Simmer for five minutes.
then pour over the yolks Of the eggs,
which have been in soup tureen.
Serve with rusks or waters.
A half-cupful Of gooseberry pre-
serves allowed to stand until rather
dry will take the place of raisins In
cake or pudding. Any rich sauce, If
allowed to dry out partly, may be used
in fruit drop cakes most satisfactorily.

CANNING FRUIT
WITHOUT SUGAR

Fruit for use in pie or salads or as
stewed fruit can be put up or canned
without the use Of any sugar at all,
according to the canning specialists
Of the government. They, therefore,
advise those who, because OF the high
price of sugar, have been thinking
of reducing the amount OF fruit they
inf I'M. to can as much of their sur
plus as possible by the use OF boiling
water when sugar strip is beyond
their means. Any fruit, they say, may
he successfully sterilized and re-
tanned their natural flavor, texture and
color as we'll as fruit put up in strip.
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweet
ened.
Can the product the same day 1t Is
picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing it in a stra1ner
and pouring water over it until 1t IS
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass Jars or tin cans until they are
full; use the handle Of a tablespoon,
wooden ladle, or table knife for pack
ing purposes. Pour over the fruit
boiling water from kettle, place rub
bers and caps in position, partially
seal if using glass jars, seal complete
ly if using tin cans. Place the con-
tainers in a sterilizing vat such as
wash boiler with false bottom, or 9TH
er receptacle improvised for the pur-
pose. If using hot-water bath out
fit, process for 80 minutes; count time
after the water has reached the boil
ing point; the water must cover the
highest jar in container. After ster1l-
izing remove packs, seal glass jars,
wrap in paper to prevent bleaching
and store in a dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans it will
improve the product to plunge the
cans quickly into cold water 1mme-
diately after sterilization. When US
ing a steam-pressure Gamer instead or
the hot-water bath, sterilize for ten
minutes with five pounds Of steam
pressure. Never allow the pressure
to go over ten pounds.

Longing.

Sometimes I wish that I could go
Along the paths used to know,
Could go back there and find some kN
And go along the roads I did
When I had not q single care,
And all life's skies were bright and fair,
And birds sung in the wayside tree,
And all the world seemed made for mo.
That's what think I'd love to do!
Go find a little tad knew
Away back there, and we would go
Where water lilies used to grow,
And bend a pin and, fix line,
Me and this old-time chum OF mine,
And sit until the light grew dim
Where little sunflsh used to swim.
Those were the days when bullheads hts
And sunfish-why, life seemed to MT
Us like a garment, and we slid,
Myself and that remembered kid,
From one joy to another. So,
Sometimes, wish that I might go
And look about and find that tad
And be with him once more, and glad:

Some Observations.

Little things trouble us and little
things console us.
Only a fool will pay twice for the
same experience.
When a man becomes Thoroughly
contented he has outliveda his useful
ness.
It is easier for the borrowed UNI
brella to keep lent than it is for the
average man.
The hardest thing in this world for
q dead game sport to do Is not to tell
you about it.
Many a fool, after putting his foot
in it. isn't satisfied until he gets there
with both feet.
Marriageable couples are fond OF
star gazing because they are properly
equipped for it.
When a candidate places himself IN
the hands of his friends they mas
sage his pocketbook freely.
Now and then you will find that
the shyest girl gets tangled up IN the
boldest love affair.
IF women were unable to see the
fine clothes other women wear they
would have fewer wrinkles.
When you pick up a pretty glris
handkerchief it is permissible to won
der how she came to drop it.
When q married man walks into
public place looking mad enough to
bite a nail in two, and growls to those
who speak to him, old maids who
happen to be present shake hands with
themselves. They have nothing like
that coming home noon and evenings

PREPARE
Bv GEORGE M. ADAMS.

Success can never be without Prep
aration. Preparation means to get
ready-to be able to carry out the
more important tasks of life as they
come along.
Prepare today for the Obligations
of tomorrow.
You who learn to Control yourself
and stand Calm in the midst Of dis
appointments and failures, as well as
in the midst of success and victory,
are accommodating reserve sure to
hold strong and steady for the times
Of stress, confusion and chaos. Pre-
pare for the emergencies to come.
Prepare BY courageously facing and
solving every problem that comes to
you daily.
The big affairs of today call for the
trained man-for the one who is Pre-
pared.
Consciously or unconsciously, you
are Preparing for something. Seek
and find out what that something is,
and when you find it, concentrate in
double Preparation upon it. No man
knows what his Preparation today may
mean to him tomorrow. But he is
sure that if it is Conscientiously done
to a purpose, in this Preparation, he
is making the soundest possible invest
ment for his future career.
To Prepare today means to Know
How tomorrow.
