cut the bread for our own use, every
crumb is carefully saved and the
chickadees will stay on the table as
our hand moves over the top strewing
the crumbs, standing their ground so
bravely. Often we put out for them
the large seeds which our canary dts
cards from his cup. There are not
nearly as many different kinds COM
ing to our table this winter as last,
perhaps too severe for them.
The juncos, or black snow birds, are
of bossy nature. They drive away
the woodpeckers, chickadees and nut
matches when they come looking for
their share, but they get some, for
they watch their chance. The nut
matches and the bluejays are the ones
who give us amusement. The nut
hatch will make a peculiar cry, dab
his bill down hard, get morsel, then
how he stretches his neck out length
lily, and as the young woman who
comes home once in a while, says
Rubber, rubber neck" And it is
most fitting. The blue jay lands down
on the table, always as we inside are
at our meals He will eat and eat,
then he picks up a crumb then an
other, hitting the first one; then he
picks up number three. Each time he
hits the crumbs he is holding in his
bill with the fresh one Away he goes
with a bill full We wouldn't lose this
pleasure of feeding the birds for a
good deal. L. A. DUDLEY.

IN Open Letter to the Editor

To the Editor: I have read the
editorial in your issue Of February 2
concerning books in the library that
bear on German views. AS chairman
of the book committee and the only
member of Teutonic stock on the
board of directors, l feel sufficiently
responsible to wish to make a few
statements.
Since August, 1914, the following
books of this description have been
put into circulation
F'rancke, "The German Spirit" 1916.
Bought December, 1916.
Swope, Inside the German Empire" "
I1916. Bought November, 1917.
Eastman, Understanding the Ger
mans" 1916. Bought June, 1917.
Ackermann, Germany the Next
Republic?" Bought 1917.
Kuno Francke is a German who held
the chair of German literature at Har-
ward and has a number Of authorlta-
tive books on Germany to his credit,
one of which, Social Forces in Ger
man Literature" went into it's elev-
enth edition in 1915.
His book, "The German Spirit, was
written before the United States de-
cIared war, and its aim, as we'll as
that Of others of his writings, was OF
course to present the favorable aspects
of Germany, and thus aid in forming
intelligent judgments. AS soon as
this country declared war, Professor
Francke, who is a sCrupulOus, high
minded gentleman, resigned from Har-
ward and is now devOting himself to
literary work in New York city. L
make this statement Of his resignation
! and present occupation on the author
ity of The Springfield Republican.
Max Eastman's book, which l sup
pose is the one you refer to. | know
only by title. It. like nearly all the
books purchased for the library, was
chosen from one Of two carefully pre-
| pared lists that are sent each month
to many Libraries. AS Eastman's pa
per. "The Masses" was suppressed
| by federal authority, it is at least
| fitting that a ltax-supported library
should take his books from the shelves
during the war, irrespective Of their
merits or dement's.
Swope and Ackermann are American
newspaper correspondents whose
works are undoubtedly inn0cuous.
Believing. as I do, that he who has
the most all-around knowledge of facts
and opinions on any subject has the
strongest position, and believing also
that none of the books with the pos
sible exception of Eastman) is harm
full to the intelligent loyalty Of Amer
leans, I regret that it has appeared
to you that the library is making pro

MRS. A. E. CAPENER.
To the Women Of Baraboo

The torpedoing Of the Tuscania and
the fear that some Of our own boys
were lost, has brought home to US
the sad realization that we are in the
war
Our boys are doing their part even
to sacrificing their lives. Is it too
much to ask Of our women to spend a
few hours in the Red Cross rooms
every week. Our room should be
filled every day, and it can be if each
woman plans on Monday morning for
so much time to be spent on Red
Cross work that week, and keeps that
resolve as she would a social engage
ment.
This war isn't going to affect few
of us only; it is going to touch every
one of us; so it is not for few to
come and WOrk-it is the duty OF ev-
cry woman to do her bit, and the wom-
an with no small children and few
household cares will have to do lit
tie more than her bit to make UP for
those who cannot possibly come. DO
not think it too much trouble to come
I'D for just a short time when down
town. If every woman came up when
she had a few minutes to spare,
great deal could be accomplished.
To the women in the country who
read this, we want to say that they
are very welcome whenever they are
in town.
So far there have ben no high school
girls IN the rooms. On Saturday,
busy day for the housekeeper, let them
take the mothers place at the Red
Cross.
Think Of the enormous need there
will be for these dressings this spring
and then decide whether you can sit
comfortably at home, thinking only of
your own comfort, while our own home
boys may be suffering for the lack of
these same dressings.
The women Of Baraboo responded
most generously to the appeal of the
allied relief committee. and think what
was accomplished III ten days time
eight large boxes filed and sent on
their way. There has been hearty
response to every call for money, and
now we appeal to every woman for a
little of her time only. so that our own
American soldiers can say that their
women are doing as much for them as
the wome nof our allies are doing for
theirs.
The women of the country consti-
tute the first reserve line behind the
| fighting men at the front. Their work
makes it possible to save the fighter
and return him to the battle line.
Women of the allied nations are
| sacrificing all to perform the neces-
sary work to meet the emergency. So
cial duties and enjoyments must be
eliminated in favor Of earnest effort
| Women's labor is the need Of the
hourly member of the: Red
| Cross.

of corn meal, and when the water
boils sprinkle in the meal and stir
with a big spoon, use wooden spoon
if you use aluminium ware. Do not
put it in too fast or Jumps will form.
Mash all Jumps with the spoon. Aft
er it begins to thicken a little, add
water from the teakettle and keep
adding meal and water until you have
the required amount you wish to make,
keeping it boiling good all the time.
Do not make it too stiff, just stiff
enough so it will f1atten itself when
taken up in a large dish. Keep stir
ring all the time and cook we'll, but it
can be cooked we'll and finished in
80 to 40 minutes Never let mush
stand in the kettle. Take up dish
or basin full to get cold, to be fried
for breakfast or when you like, and
still you will have enough for fam
lily of five or six If mush is made
too slow and allowed to stand i'll the
kettle, it sets, and if stirred again
and then taken up, it never sets as
nicely, and cannot be cut to fry in
nice firm slices. To fry mush put on
the pancake griddle and when hot put
on meat fryings, cotOsuit, vegetable
oil or whatever you are in the habit
OF using, but not too much, cut mush
in nice slices, about three slices to
the inch, and fry a light brown, turn
it and add little more grease, it is
better to add grease after turning
than to put on too much at first. I
have made corn meal much more or
les for fifty years. I do not like the
double cooker for making mush. I
can make as good or better mush,
and have it we'll cooked in from 80 to
40 minutes, by cooking in kettle,
than I can in double boiler by cook
ing it nearly that many hours. Some
complain that the kettle is hard to
wash, but I do not find it any harder
to wash than other things. Always
put water in it as soon as the much is
taken up.
MRS. A. E. CAPENER.
Baraboo, Wis. r. 2, Box CO.
Note: The culinary editor Of The
News says that of the corn meal is
thoroughly dampened before being
stirred into the boiling water, no Jumps
will form. the meal may be added more
rapidly, and no stirring is necessary
except to keep the mush from sticking
to the bottom of the kettle.

To Make Good Corn Meal Mush

I have noticed several pieces in the
papers lately, in regard to making
corn meal mush. Now that corn meal
is being used a good deal as it used to
be fifty years ago, I thought l would
send in my recipe and way of making
mush.
Put on a kettle with about one quart
or three pints of water, add salt for
double that amount, or nearly so.
Have teakettIe with plenty of hot
water, take three cupfuls or IL pints

German propaganda.


So much is my personal opinion
which counts for one vote in any de
cision made by the board.
Allow me to express some sur
prise that you give assurances as tC
what the library will or will not dc
before the directors have passed on q
matter. The office of the library com
mission is purely advisory The final
and only authority in matters Of pol
icy affecting the library is vested in
the directors of the library board act
ing under the state law, and their ma
jority vote is what decides; an appli
cation of the principle, the establish
ment of which is one of the objects
for which we are in the war.
Very truly yours,

Meetings are being held in the diff

Opera House, entitled "Follies", for
the benefit of this fund. Tickets are

The campaign on Thursday will take
the form of drive in the county, the

The workers are expected, after they
have completed their work this even

Probably one of the most unique
phases is that no one will have the ex-
