Today's Anniversaries !,

The first railway which carried pas
sengers was the Stockton & Darling
ton line, in England, which was CON-
p1eted and opened for traffic on Sept
rs, 1925. Regular passenger traffic
on the pioneer railroad was Inaugural
ted the following day. Edward Pease
and George Stephenson constructed
this line, but, despite the connection
with the project of the father of the
locomotive, horses were first used to
supply the motive power, Later Ste
phenson experimental with fixe p en-
gfnes and ~locomtives and his success
with the latter caused him to recon-
mend the locomotive system for adop-
ton on the Liverpool & Manchester
system. which was opened in 1880,
and which was the first road on which
the powers Of the steam locomotive
were fully established. The pioneer
railroad was only eight miles in length
and was of little Importance. but the
Liverpool and Manchester line con-
nected two great cities. and started
service with eight LOGON olives and
twenty nine carriages. The first rail-
way accident occurred at. the inaugu-
ration Of the latter line, when w. Illus
kisson, a member of parliament, was
run over by the locomotive Rocket,
the wheels of which ran over his legs,
inflicting fatal injuries.

HAGAR

Hagar was an Egyptian woman, the
handmade of Serial, who was given by
the latter to her husband, Abram, as
concubine, or left handed wife. Such
arrangements were not uncommon in
those old times. 1t had been promised
Abram that his seed should become
a great nation, but his wife, Serai. had
borne him no children. She was near
ly eighty years Of age, her husband
being ten years older. Despairing of
herself becoming the mother of the
promised seed, she would not stand
in the way of Gods blessing to her
husband, so she gave him Hagar. The
latter was soon gi*en preference by
Abram, and believing herself the
mother of the promised heir, she des-
pissed her mistress. After being rebuk-
ed she fled to the wilderness. There
an angel of the Lord met her and
commanded her to return to Serai,
which she did. For a time all went
well, but at the birth of Isaac, the
true heir, Hagar was again driven
from the house of Abram with her
son Ishmael. The latter became "the
father of twelve princes" and was the
progenitor of the Arabs, who to this
day keep possession of the wilderness
where Hagar wandered with her son.
Hagar is supposed to have flourished
about 1900 B. C.

CANNING Observation-Disclosures

Because this years crop Of cabbage
will be very large, Gtoday's bulletin Of
the National Emergency Food Garden
Commission, cooperating with this
paper in a nationwide food conserve
ton campaign, urges the housewives
to make plenty of sauerkraut for win

The fermentation process OF m Tx
ing sauer:Sraut is s3rnp1e ac.7 is pre-
ferred by many to the sailing method.
The outside leaves and the core OF tls
cabbage should be removed lsI the
rest shredded very finely. Either sum-
| mer growth or fall cabbage may be
used. Immediately pack into a bar
rel, key or tub, which is perfectly
clean, or into an earthenware crock
| holding four or five gallons. The
smaller containers are recommended
for household use. While packing dis
! tribute salt as uniformly as possible
using one pound of salt to 40 pounds
Of cabbage. When the container is
| almost filled press the cabbage down
az tightly as possible and apply a
board cover which will go inside the
holder. For this cover select wood
free from pitch, such as Eastwood
Glazed plates make excellent covers.
| On top of this cover place stones or
other weights (using flint or granite
and avoiding the Use Of limestone or
sandstone). These weights serve to
force the brine above the cover.

limitations have been received by
petitioning creditors who appeared in
the United States District Court ask
ing for the removal of John C. Cham
berlain as trustees of the estate OF
Burr & Knapp, that decision is soon
to be made public.
The hearings which were held be-
fore Referee Carlton Hoadley Of New
Haven. sitting as a special master were
concluded sometime in April last.
Much speculation has since been
rife in. Bridgeport as to the delay of
making determination in this case, but
during the interim every effort has
been made to adjudicate the claims in
the Burr & Knapp matter.
So far advanced has the matter pro-
ceeded in the hands of Referee John
w. Banks here that it is a question
today whether the decision will be
handed down before final dividends
are declared.

Germany has forced America, as II
has,forced practically the entire world
10 defend itself by arms We are
lighting this war because Germany
made war upon us. America is a
peaceful nation; we have no lust for
conquest, no desire for annexation of
territory: we are defending ourselves
against Germany because the Imperial
German government entered upon a
program which meant the destruction
Of all American institutions.
When we finally recognized that
Germany was waging war upon us we
had seen more han 225 Americans,
among them many women and chill
dren. killed by German submarines;
hospital ships had been sunk and un-
fortified towns had been bombed and
bonnbarded, Medals had been struck

our foreign born inha biants. Every eff
fort was made to involve us in trou-
bile with Japan. and Mexico. Our re-
peaed protests were met with prom
hses and explanations which were lit
tie better than insults.
The Imperial German government
finally proclaimed the unrestricted
destruction of neutral ships upon the
high seas. 1t was the notification to
the United States that our people were
no longer sovereign, and that II they
would sail the seas in safety we must

law, humanity, and elemental moral
ity.
A policy OF terrorism has been sys-
,tematfcally applied by the Imperial
German government since the out
break of. the European war. Treaties
that stood in the way of German mill
taristic plans have been disregarded
women and children have been treat
ed with indescribable brutality, the
modest works of art have been des-
.troyed. and prisoners have been abus-
Jed and maltreated and civilian poppla-

this war in defense of American hon

NEW ENGLAND PEACHES.

One Of the most delicious ways to
serve peaches is to use them in ice
cream. They add richness to the dish
and therefore it is not necessary to
use as much cream as would he neces-
sary without the peaches. Here are
three ways of making ice cream:
Pare and remove stone from one
quart of ripe peaches, cut in small
pieces and sprinkle well with sugar,
mash, add to one Of the following mix
lures before freezing:
No. +. One quart OF milk, three
tablespoons flour, one quarter tea
spoon salt, one cup sugar, one egg,
one cup cream. Scald one pint Of
milk, beat egg slightly, add sugar,
flour and salt, mix well and pour the
hot milk over the mixture. Cook
over hot water stirring until 1T
thickens. Cool and add the rest OF
the milk y with the cream. Flavor
and freeze.

one cup of cream with three-quar-
tiers of a cup of sugar till 1ukewarnn.
