riding in a damned train and when 1t
stopped Mt the Forty-Second street sta
ton there was an thrush of paSSen-
gers. Among them was n richly
dressed woman. who led Il boy of
about ten by the hand. She stood be-
fore II chivalrouS-l looking man who oc-
curird Il seat. With touch of his
hat he arose to give the woman his
seat. when the boy broke loose from
her and jumped into the vacant seat
The woman made no attempt to take
the seat for herself and remained
standing. What was worse, she made
not the slightest acknowledgment Of
the mans courtesy.

From a Chinese coolie in Tim

Who got it straight from a circus

That a man in klondike heard

From bunch of South Ameri-

About somebody in Borneo
Who heard man who claims to

Of a swell society female rake
Whose mOther-in-law will under

To prove that her husbands Sis

That she has a son who has a

Who knows when the war is go

\ STRANGE DIFFERENCE

FARMER took a can of cream to Il
local creamery. The creamery paid
the farmer i6 cents n pound for the
hutterfat. CT was small and poor
~ patroniZcd creamery. The farmer
received 1851 for the can of cream.
Thc buttcrmakor examined the can
Of cream and found that it had n
very bad flavor. due to age and to
being kept in the cellar with the
odor Of vegetables. The buttcrmaker
felt that this can of cream would
spoil his churning. so shipped it. He
received 50 cents II pound for the
hntterfat. or cents more than he
had paid the farmer per pound for
the huttcrfat, but strange to say the
check he received in return was only
$N,6l. He had paid the farmer SSH.
Why only 10 cents difference in the
sum total, when the difference in the
price was y cents per poundr For
have been n difference of Sl.67 Co
ing over the records we found that
the local creamery paid for IS lbs of
cream testing 80 per cent and 1875
pounds Of huttcrfat. When shipped
the net weight was IS pounds test
ing 30 per cent and 1875 pounds of
huttcrfat. When the express of l6
| cents was paid. the $l.67 Uhe diff
ference the Q cents additional price
per pound should have broughD was
reduced to 10 cents.
Without n cooperative creamery
the farmer has nothing to do with
| the price OF his product, The price
is set by the buyer and, as many
| farmers say who ship cream. they
get as much for cream n week old as
| or sweet cream. or whether they
| ship much or little. At a co-opcra-
crease the price by increasing the
amount Of cream and they can in
crease the price by bringing a good
! grade of cream. Good management
| and good business methods also
| make for increased prices. The
farmer who leaves his local cream
cry and ships cream gives up every
| right TO increase the price of his
product. He leaves il all To the
man at the other end OF the line. Is
that good business Perhaps some
| ~ the farmers who are not support
ing their own cooperative creamery
| are loudest in dcnouncing trusts.
Minnesota is the only state that to-
day stands between the farmer and a
monopoly Of the butter market. Min

POTATO COOKING Is OFTEN
DONE WRONG:

Potatoes contain all the different
Protein and minerals for growth and
repair: starch and fat for energy:
and minerals and rOughage for body
regulation. A diet Of whole milk and
potatoes is perfect: the fat and pro-
tein OF the milk supplements the
small quantity of these in the vege-
table. The fuel value of potatoes is
higher than that of any other fresh
vegetable used.
Common methods used in the prep
aration and cooking of potatoes are
wasteful. When potatoes are peeled
and allowed to stand for an hour or
two in cold water. they lose over half
the protein and one third their min
erals. The pecling also takes food
with it. When cooking is begun in
cold water the loss is nearly as
rreat. Potatoes can be prepared
with no loss of food value If they be
first blanched by cooking in boiling
water for ten minutes, then plunged
into cold water and the skin rubbed
or pulled off. Cooking can then be
completed in any way desircd-bak-
ing, steaming or boiling.
a quick oven Is essential for bak-
ing potatoes. This result is dry and
meoly and Is most easily digested.
If the skin is pricked with fork
toward the end of baking they are
further improved by escape of steam.
SoEgy, watcry potatoes do not digest
easily and may cause gas Lucy
