MY WISH

(Mr. w. F. Berry hands the follow
ing to, The Robesonian, the first 3
verses being by some one unknown,
the last verses having been COM
posed by himself).
I have noticed that when a fellow
dies,
No matter what he's been
Whether scanty chap or one whose
life has been deeply stepped
in sin
His friends forget the bitter words
they spoke but yesterday, :
And now they fird a multitude of
pretty things to say.
I fancy when 1 have gone to rest,
Some one will bring to light
Some good word or kindly act long
buried out of sight.
So, if it's just the same to you, just
give to me instead,
The bouquets while Pm living, and
the knocking when Pm dead.
Don't save all your kisses to imprint
upon my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are be-
ing hurled upon me now.
Just say one kind word to me while

COTTAGE CHEESE
N. c.. Extension Service.

N. C. Extension Service.
Cottage cheese is one of our most
important meat substitutes. It con-
tains 20.9 per cent Of protein, prac-
tically all Of which is digestible.
This is a higher percentage than is
found in most meats. Ten cents spent
for cottage cheese will purchase as
much protein as can be obtained in
the form of lean veal steak for 25
cents.
The dairy department of the North
Carolina Agricultural Experiment
station explains that cottage cheese
is made by placing fresh, clean skim
milk at a temperature Of 68 to 10
degrees F., and allowing it to remain
until we'll curdled. This requires
about "a hours. After the curd is
broken into large pieces of fairly un-
form size, it is slowly heated to a
temperature of 90 degree to "a de-
grees F., and held until the whey
appears clear. AS heating too rap
idly is detrimental to the texture of
the cheese, from 80 to 40 minutes
should be required. When the whey
has become we'll separated from the
curd it is. drawn off. The curd is
placed in cheese cloths and hung on
racks to drain until it is left fairly
moist but not sloppy. Then it is
salted to taste. For the best quality
of cheese thick cream is added at
the rate of 1 ounce to / pound of
cheese.
From 100 pounds of skina-milk one
should get at least Is pounds of cot
tage cheese which should retail at IL
or Is cents a pound. This means q
return of $1.50 to 1925 per hundred
pounds Of skim milk, paying we'll fo1
the time and labor involved.

How the BOYS Came to be Called

Washington, September THE use
OF the term "Sammies" to describe
our troops is almost unknown in
France, according to dispatches re-

rines in the oversee expedition If

came into use is explained in this
wise: When the "first to fight con-
.tlngent steamed into port the people
on the wharf shouted "Vivent les
amlss.!:-pronounced "Veev laws ah-
mee!" What this means is '1ong live
the. ;. tour) friends" but "les
AIMS" may sound a good deal like
les Sammies," and the newspaper
men SO interpreted it. Immediately
the folks "back home" began calling

Berlin DisavoWs
Attempt to Halt
Peace Delegation
Barring of All but Trusted
Government Adherents
Aroused Socialists

Copenhagen, via London, May 10
The German government has disayowed
the action Of the Berlin Prefecture in
refusing passports TO certain Radical
delegates 10 the Stockholm Socialist
conference.
Il was announced in the Rechstag
committee that all Socialist delegates
could secure passports at the Foreign
Office. The attempt of the prefecture,
which acts in passport matters for the
military authorities. 10 Gull the delega-
ton and permit only trusty govern
ment adherents to attend the conference
threatened to result in a general re-
fusal OF Socialists to participate in the
conference. a contamination not de-
sired by the Central governments.
whose interest in the movement il
shown by the long stories concerning 1t
carried by the Official news agency or
telegraphed abroad for free distribu'
ton.
1t will be recalled that the Hun
garian Socialists recently refused to
attend the conference unless the gov
eminent recompensed them with fran
chise concessions.
Previous to the receipt of this news
the "Politiken' predicted that the
bureau for the proposed neutral peace
conference would probably issue a
statement that the international Social
ist conference at Stockholm. scheduled
to open tomorrow, is postponed. The
paper said that great dissatisfaction
prevailed among the delegates, and that
one member reported that the situation
had become more complicated IN the
last twenty-four hours.
The news that the German lndepend-
ent Socialists have been refused pass
ports was expected TO cause the bu-
reau to refuse TO negotiate with the
Scheidemann group. Emile Wander
velde. leader Of the Belgian Socialists.
declared that the refusal Of the Ger
man authorities 70 issue passports. eN-
cept to Scheidemann and his follow
ers. was clear proof of the desire of the
German people for peace.

Upholds Silence on
German War Intentions

"Wc arc at one with him to-day IN
refusing, under the present clrcum-
stances, TO disclose 10 our enemies the
details of our war aims. il is enough
that the government declares that 1t
pursues neither boundless plans OF con-
quest nor binds itself TO thoughts OF
peace without annexations and without
indemnities. If the enemy is combat
ing Prussian militarism and the lio-
hcnzollerns in the illustrious person
of the Emperor, il will only result IN
bringing his majesty closer to the
hearts of the German people.

do not want TO interfere in the domes-
tic affairs Of Russia. We are atten-
lively following the struggle OF that

where the labor crisis at the time OF
the reduction OF the bread ration, was
particularly acute. Bitter complaints
however. are coming from other parts
Of the empire. which feel that they
are being sighted in favor Of the
capital and the Essen district.
Il is true that, IN accordance with
the governments promise, the bread
ration is not reduced where the 1--WE
