Use of Canned Goods
Preserved Plum Pie.

FOR this rich, thick plum preserves
arc best, but canned plums, freed
from stones and with a good deal of
the juice drained off or boiled down,
will answer. 1t is one crust pie and
the first thing to do is to line
small deep pie tin with a good crust.
Then turn into it mixture made of
tho following ingredients: Two eggs,
a half cupful Of preserved plums, a
little lemon juice If desired, table,
spoon of wheat flour with a quarter
teaspoon of baking powder and
large tablespoon OF butter creamed
with third of cup of sugar. Less
sugar will be needed if the preserves
are very rich. Mix all we'll and turn
into the crust and bake in a fairly
slow oven for half an hour, or un-
III the crust is done through. If you
use glass pie plato you can al
ways tell readily whether the under
crust of your pies is done through.
Jelly Fritters.
And jelly-but especially current
jelly-can be used to advantage to
mako this inexpensive dessert which
calls for no sugar Take slices Of
bread. preferably not too fresh, and
cut into neat squares or rounds all
of the same size. Spread with jelly

Any berry jam will answer for this

Jam Puffs.
This is good wartime recipe, for
it calls for two cups of stale bread
crumbs. Soak them In a cup of hot
milk. add four eggs beaten sepa-
rately and pinch of soda dissolved
in a little hot water. Make a batter
of this and fill buttered muffin tins
half full with it. Bake in quick
oven. Take out the puffs. cut in two
and fill with any desired kind of jam.

Frozen Dishes.
II frozen dishes still tempt you
there are all sorts Of interesting des-
serts to be made from canned fruits
leflapS tne Simplest way Is to drain
off the fruit juice from canned fruit
and add to it an equal quantity of
cream or cream and rich milk and
freeze that, saving the fruit for
some othter dessert. fruitier ice
cream is made by pressing the fruit
through q vegetable press or colan-
der and adding it to the JUICE and
cream 1t is a good idea to taste the
mixture. for If the juice is especially
sweet you may be able to add more
milk and cream and still have it
sweet enough.
a very inexpensive dessert can be
made from fruit by simply freezing
it into a sherbct. The fruit Juice
alone can be used or the juice with
the fruit pressed through a colantler.

1t is mixed with metal and silk; It Is
dyed in rare and wondrous colors: it
Is lifted from the surface or pulled
fatty against 1t; 1t Is used in a series
OF dewdrops half yard in width, to
give the appearance OF warmth to the
fabric, and 1t Is used in a subtle, orna-
mental manner that suggests the craft
Of the fifteenth century.
IN ITS onward march 1t has obliter-
ated silk embroidery. but 1t has em-
phasized the popularity of metal work.
In truth, woman who Is dressed ac-
cording to the demands of the moment
Is almost as metallic as a munitions
factory. 1t Is one Of the first strong evil
dences OF the effect of war. 1t is said by
the students Of human nature that the
further the battle line retreats from
Paris the more 1t will be reflected in
her sartorial inspirations. Maybe so.
Usually 1t takes nation a half CEN
fury to reflect a great war. but in
Paris there has always been a dis
position to employ the fashions Of the
countries conquered So far there has
only been chance to exploit the east.
This was done in the tulle wells. the
wrapped turbans, the tiaring minaret
tunic and the tight skirt.
So far the buying of French gowns
has not begun. They have just started
lated shipments. But as far as tho
American fashions have run, and as
far as the season has settled itself
down into broad highway on which
we will tread. the colors that will win
out are midnight blue. deep Burgundy,
tobacco brown and silvery light
blue.
BY the way. there is a remarkable
new gown in this silvery blue. 1t used
to be called lake blue. and it may still
go by that name, for 1t has peculiar
simmer of white over it like surface
water or moonlight. 1t is worth de-.
scribing in detail because it Is new
and most alluring.
The gown made in it is a mermaid
frock, and all the material used is
crinkled into machine pleating that
Is inner than anything we have ever
known: 1t is one-piece frock. with q
skirt that clings to the hips, goes in
at the ankles and knees. then spreads
out into little froth over the feet
which Is kicked aside as the wearer
walks. There, is a round bodice, with
a round decolletage. and two very fiat
pieces that extend below the girdle on
the hips. The sleeves are like fins,
very short and pointed at the back.
A woman with yellow hair could
wear this frock and pass for a mer-
maid. The gown is Of so supple and
transparent a texture that when it is
IN the hand it shrinks into nothing
ness like balloon with the air out Of It.

DUTY OF CHRISTIANS TO SUP.
PORT THE u. s. A.

Replying to a letter written by a
prominent member of a religious sect
which adheres to the belief that, &C
cording to the teachings of Christ and
the Apostles it is sin for Christians
to participate in war in any form, :"
bIr. w r. Rowe, Executive Secretary
of the Central Liberty Loan Commit
tee for the Tenth Federal Reserve
District, points out the Christians
duty in the present crisis. Mr.. Rowe's
letter, in part, follows:
cit SENS to me that there is no reli-
gious denomination of which / have
ever had knowledge that can, by with
holding support from the Government
which has taken up arms for the pur-
pose of insuring both religious and
political freedom, sanction, and there
by support, the prosecution of war
by a government which seeks to en-
slave the entire world 1t is unques-
tionably true that, in a world crisis
like this, those who, through a mis-
taken idea of neutrality, are not ac-
lively supporting the Government
which has given them religious and
political freedom, are supporting the
opposition. This is a time when no
one can be neutral. If you are not
unfolding the Government of the
United States of America, either by
physical effort or through the provi-
sion of money necessary to carry on
its activities, there can be no ques-
ton that you are supporting the En-
peror of Germany in his deliberate at
tempt to dominate the entire world.
you cannot sit placidly and say
that you decline to support the right
because it is opposed to your religious
principles to in any manner support
war when communities all over the
world, of ever religious belief, unite
in such support.
'FThere is no place in the world to-
day for the man who claims to be
neutral nor is there any principle of
religion which specifically directs its
rdherents to withhold their support
from an effort to make the funda-
mental principles of the religion of
Jesus Christ an actuality in a right
eOUs war
ct seems to me that, if you will
pardon my frankness, you are entire
ly misinterpreting the principles of
your church; that you are placing
your entire denomination in an atti-
tude to support oppression and auto
cracy, and that, by your inactivity,
you are deliberately helping on the
wrong side by Withholding your coop
Grafton from the powers which are
moving in support of every principle
of true Christian religion"

Farmers Organize

One of the best moves for the
farmer that has been made in years
was started recently by Mr.. E. E.
Frizell, Labor Administrator for Kan
sas. In an effort to have the farmers
of the state in a position to dictate
the wages they were willing and
would pay to farm hands during this
harvest he asked that the farmers or
ganize into cooperative bands or
clubs.
One of the first to complete its or
ganization was Ellis County, and the
method followed there with its re-
suits may be of interest to your COM
munity. Sixteen public meetings
were held over the county resulting
in the organization of sixteen local
farm labor clubs each with its own
president and secretary and a signed
list of members. The discussion at
these public meetings led to the adOp-
ton of the agreement that harvest
hands be paid by the hour and not
by the day. The number of hours
to constitute was fixed at ten but by
agreement with the hands could be
fixed at any number the farmer
wished. The hours worked each day
was to be determined by the number
of hours the header was in operation.
This would mean that if field was
over ripe more hours per day could
be worked by agreement and there
would be no friction or disagreement
| because the more hours worked the
| more pay per day. Again if a storm
came up in the evening an untopped
stack could be finished out and saved.
The price per hour was fixed at fifty
cents for experienced hands because
! of labor shortage. There will not be
the floating harvest hands this year as
usual; the high wages paid by the wal
| industries in the far east and west
has drawn that class of labor until
| the Central States have practically no
| f1oaters. This leaves the farmer prac-
tically at the mercy of the wage ex-
| tortionist, who can always get more
mage a little further on, and the /
W. W. unless he organizes and stay.
with the organization.
The organization of the county be
| ing completed there remains the
necessity for district organization
and agreement and finally of STATE
organization. Ellis County is in tn,
district with Trego, Russell, Graham
Rocks, Osborne, Norton, Phillips anC
Smith. The District meeting of the
delegates from the local clubs in the
above named counties will be held In
Hays on the afternoon of May 10th
at the Court House. See that you

From Factory to Farmer
Farm Labor QUESTIONABLE

In an effort to determine the ap-
proXimate number of farm hands
that will be needed to harvest the
food crops this year there will be
mailed soon to every farmer in Ellis
county a QUESTIONABLE which he is re-
quested to Immediately fill out and
return. The card is self addressed
and requires no postage. 1t is of
course fully understood that the best
that can be given at this time is but
an estimate. It is also necessary that
the questions be answered as though
a bumper crop were to be harvested,
1t being easier to abandon in whole
Or in part we'll laid plans should the
crop fall short of the present indica-
tons than it would be to secure the
required number of hands on short
notice were the crop to exceed ex-
pectations and no preparations be
made.
In filling out the QUESTIONABLE the
farmer IS requested not to include
himself and family, in other words
only what you will need in addition to
what you already have. For example
If you are going to drive the header
and will not need another driver
write the word "self' in answer to
that question; or if you are going to
work in tho header barge answer
"self and L." ''self and q" or 'self
and 4, as the case may be.
The QUESTIONABLE properly filled
should be returned at once so that ar
engagements for the additional help
may go forward as rapidly as posi-

So much is being said about dis
loyalty of Germans resident in this
country, causing a feeling of distrust
OF Germans as whole, that prOnni-
nent banker of central Kansas, who
IS himself of German birth, thinks it
advisable for all of hs race to be
called on the carpet and required to
state unequivocally under oath their
patriotism, where their smpathies lie
and what their attitude is toward our
prosecuting the war to a finish He
says that up to a year ago he favored
the success of the German arms. He
would not Or could not believe the
horrible stories told of the Germans,
nor was he aware of the sinister aims
of the Kaiser toward the rest of man
kind and against the United States
in Particular. He has had his eyes
opened to the enormity of the Ger
man menace and feels that its sue
cess means the destruction of Amer
lean ideals and the enslavement of all
liberty loving peoples. He feels that
his allegiance is due only to the land
of his adoption and that he did wrong
in championing the cause of his coun-
trymen en- the other side. He wants
to undo this wrong as far as he is
able. He wants every German Off

ones, and those who are lukewarm
and Indifferent may be separated
from the rest, and measures taken to
prevent their doing harm to the Ma
tions interests by crimina 1acts or
reasonable propaganda. The safety
of the country depends on the sue
cessful wedding out of this detest-
able element. A vast preponderance
of our Teuton citizenship is a truly
American as those English or French

odium that belongs to limited num-

advertised to speak at Hays, and
some fellows asked him to cancel his
date. Last week this paper told how
the Salina Journal, owned by Mr..
Bristow, had always given Hays and
its doings long notices Hays on
the map, and maybe that warning
might hurt. This city went wild over
presenting Mrs. Gross a service flag
for her five boys in the service The
hall was crowded. Mr.. Rea and Mr..
Flood made speeches. Generally a
half column would have told of it in
the Salina paper. The notice printed
was just eleven lines on an inside
page. Last Friday, Hays had the big

people in the Normal building listen

Salina and was applauded to the echo
With Father Maher, here, sent out by
