Many folks object to paying the pres
ent high price for lard, but realize that
at the price of hogs and with the prob
able future demand it Is unlikely that
the price will be reduced soon. 1t be-
comes important, then, to find a cheap
er satisfactory substitute. DIR. Louise
Stanley of the Missouri college of ag-
riculture, suggests that housewives
consider suet as a source Of cheap fat.
Suet has not been as extensively used
as lard on account of its harder con-
sistency. 1t can be obtained at about
10 cents a pound. From this can be
obtained IA ounces of pure fat at a
cost of II cents a pound. In order to
bring this to the consistency of lard
1t Is only necessary to add oil in the
proportion Of one of oil to two parts
of suet. This gives a compound fat
which is very satisfactory for general
household use. C%ottonseed oil or corn
oil can now be obtained at about q
cents a pound. On the basis of the
above proportions a satisfactory lard
substitute can be had at a cost Of 10
cents a pound.

AIR MAIL AND THE LIBERTY MOTOR

TNHE tranquil community OF Bustleton,
now that 1t has been definitely selected
as the landing place for the airplanes of
the New York-Washington service, is likely
TO be written down Importantly in history,
since it will participate in the first public
demonstration of the Liberty motor. This
is no small role for Bustleton. The Lib
erty motor has been called slow and it
has been called cumbersome And yet we
are depending on it to help us win the
war.
Schedules prepared by the military au-
thorities and the Postoffice Department do
not indicate the prevalence of any doubts
in the minds concerned officially with the
new motor. The mail planes will be large.
They viii carry a considerable load. And
they must average about a hundred miles
an hour TO make connections. 1t may be
worth remembering that powerful but rela-
lively Llow machines do most of the i'm
portant work on the battlefronts There
are airplanes that can do a hundred and
fifty miles an hour, but they carry only a
single pilot and light gun. The work
of bombing the massed air attacks on
marching troops, most OF the destruction
on a large scale, is done by the machines
OF the type for which the Liberty motor
was designed And 1t has ye. to be proved
that the Liberty motor, given a light
plane to carry cannot achieve a speed as
great as that of any fighting machine aloft

PROGRESS TOWARD CONFESSION

Nov that Won Jagow, former German
y Foreign Secretary. agrees with Prince
Lichnowsky. former German ambassador
to London, that England did not cause
the war, we may patiently await German
admissions that the war was caused neither
by France nor by Russia. Thus by a proc
admission that Germany herself is the re-
sponsble nation. Whether this admission
comes as a boast or as a confession OF
guilt depends on the decision on the battle
field. That it is bound TO come is as Ger.
tain as that unrlghteousness cannot tri-

Obeisance TO Obesity

Dear Socrates-The Chamber of Com
merce of Obesity N j., wishes to express
its appreciation of the very generous pub
licity you have accorded our community.
Presuming on your connection with our
leading citizen, Mr.. Dulcet, we seize the
opportunity of acquainting you with those
features Of our activity which merit the
enthusiasm of the world at large.
Obesity 1. a salubrous little town, sit
uated at the confluence Of the Dulcet and
Bleak families. Mrs. Dulcet was descended
from the famous Oliver Bleak, better
known by his signature of o. Bleak. His
old home, Bleak House. was immortalized
by Charles Dickens in one of his scenarios.
our catnip plantations, cheese quarries
and glove-ftting railway schedule are the
best in the State. We are almost immune
from tsetse flies, hay fever and other
CELESTIAL complaints. Our mosquitoes are
trained to indirect biting and our mosquito
muzzle is famous all over New Jersey.
We are the only town that has made the
muzzlng of mosquitoes compulsory.
The slogan that we have adopted for
our Chamber of Commerce is, "Obeisance
to Obesity Home of the Mosquito Muz-
zle!" We would like to know il you will
come to our annual fete.day on the 1st
OF May and speak at the dinner? Re.

OUR DEBT TO FRANCE

40 MUCH has been said recently in song
- and newspaper editorials about 'repayng
our debt TO France" that 1t is interesting TO
note what Ralph w. Page has 10 say about
this debt in his new book, Dramatic Mo-
ments in American Diplomacy" "ln order
80 repay this debt in kind today" asserts
Mr. page. 1--WE should have to send TO France
approximately 200, 900 siN-inch guns and
equipment for 100000 troops" And in this
old letter which he quotes lies the reason
therefor:

GO TO IT!

GERMAN propagandists are planning to
~ flood the country with reports of the
errible loss of American life in Picardy on
he theory that they can frighten us by
'iolding up to our contemplation the extent
of the price we must pay for victory.
They do not seem to have learned any
hing. Every one else knows the effect of
she German airplane raids On defenseless
towns in England. When the local re-
cruiting campaign was tagging the air.
planes gave it the fillip needed. Instead of
being cowed the Briton said that he would
lon uniform to put a stop to this sort
,f terrorizing. Every one else knows that
when young man has been killed by the
Germans his brothers have enlisted in
rider to avenge his death. This has been
lappening in England and Canada for
years and it is beginning to happen here.
Trustworthy reports of the slaughter of
American troops will bring slaokers from
their hiding places and win inspire the
men in the draft with such patriotic zeal
that the youth who under other circum-
stances might have sought exemption will
plead to be accepted.
So le. the German propagandists go to
il. They will do more good than harm.
AS TO great losses thus far, however,
the War Department announces that there
has been none, but that it will keep the
country informed and will hold back no
bad news. 1t realizes, il the propagandists
do not. that the nation is in no mood to be
frightened by the contemplation of the cost
OF victory. 1t has considered the price
and Is willing to pay it.
