MUCH POLITICAL ACTIVITY.
The Primary Which Is 10 BE Held
Today Is An Important One.


The Mastodon township primary Is
10 be one OF many contests. In fact
il has more contests than any primary
held in Mastodon township in long
time.
The attention centers about cam
paign for supervisor between John
Erikson OF the Dunn mine and w. J..
Perkins superintendent OF the Balkan
mine. The contest is one in when
there is no personal animosity; Just
each man going out and getting all
the votes he can get. The township
has been canvassed from one end to
the other and 1t is very likely that
every voter OF the township will be on
hand to cast his ballot this afternoon
Another lively contest is that be-
tween o. b. Johnson and Harry An
derson for the Office OF township
clerk. Mr.. Johnson has been clerk
for the past year and was village
clerk before being elected township
clerk He is we'll known and popular
Mr.. Anderson is having his first po-
litical experience as this is first time
that he has gone before the people
for a public office.
While the supervisors contest is n
lively one and attracts the greatest
amount OF attention. that for treas
urer is the warmest so far as a can
yass goes. II was a three-cornered
fight between VIM. Aitken, Paul An
derson and John X. Hubbard. Mr.. Ait
ken is the present treasurer and is
asking a second term. Mr.. Hubbard
and Mr.. Anderson have both held OF
fee in Alpha village. Mr. Anderson
pulled out yesterday leaving the con-
test to Hubbard and Aitken.
The other positions on the ballot
will go uncontested with Jake Holmes
for highway commissioner. William
Uren is a candidate for the Office of
justice of the peace.

American cheese is also an excel.
lent meat substitute. Use IL for such.
Add cheese (cut up fne) to rice, u

4 RESOLUTION.

Whereas, the Welfare of this village
is of first consideration to the Com
mercial Club, and.
Whereas, We believe in publicity as
a common means to the general end
of bettering the commonwealth. and,
Whereas, we believe that the same
can be attained by better Alpha de-
partment OF news In the paper issued
in Crystal Falls, known as The Dia-
mond Drill, therefore
BE II Resolved that we appeal to
the business management OF the above
mentioned paper requesting that he
maintain live correspondent in this
field to provide creditable sheet OF
Alpha news, and that copy of this
resolution be mailed TO the manage
ment OF the above mentioned publi-
cation.

Alpha Commercial Club Looks Only
On One Side Of the Question.


In another column appear resolu-
aion adopted by the Alpha CONNER
cial Club al its last meeting request
,nr that The Diamond Drill maintain
a correspondent at Alpha, etc.
Some fellows are great at resoluting
so long as the resolution doesn't cost
anything. The Diamond Driil is a
business proposition, and unless there
Is support coming in the form OF ad-
vertising, etc, the wherewithal to
pay labor, buy paper and ink and a
few loaves OF rye bread isn't at hand
and the enterprise dies natural
death. AS newspapers are run these
days a business must show a profit or
Il cannot exist. No live newspaper
publisher will pass up paying busi-
mess; likewise q newspaper will not
run line OF business at loss simply
10 tickle the vanity OF some resoluter
who may or may not be subscriber.
The publisher OF The Diamond Drill
has made determined efforts TO get a
line OF advertising In Alpha that would
carry the cost of maintaining a regu-
lar correspondent, but has never been
able to get enough OF the business men
10 come across with any coin to pay
that expense.
Now, under the circumstances,
doesn't II look as IL Alpha Is getting
all that she pays for? We maintain
AN Alpha department, get what news
We can with as little expense as pos
sible; never refuse to publish any
thing that the Commercial Club or
any other Alpha resident or business
man sends in. We would be glad TO
do more II Alpha would do its share
We have some very fine subscribers
in Alpha, ought TO have more, but
Alpha is like almost all OF these
mining communities, the major por-
.tion OF its residents are not readers
sof English papers.
We suggest that IL the Alpha Com
.mercial Club is anxious for more
publicity that il either arrange to have
contributed each week such publicity
as IL would like to have appear, or
that its members respond to the soli-
citations OF our advertising solicitor
next time and come across with suf-
ficient paid space to warrant kick
that IL is not getting representation
commensurate with the business that
originates there.
The Diamond Drill isn't any tight
wad when II comes to matter OF
business. Neither is II so concerned
at every complaint, nor will 1t get
scared when fellow who will pinch
a dollar until the eagle squeals its
head off resolutes that he isn't getting

get some reciprocal recognition. We
will do our share; let's see If the 9th

Suggestions for Meat Saving

Reduce the Family Allowance OF
Meat This can be done in two ways:
First, purchase Jess meat. and by
careful planning and cooking make IL
go further.
Don't throw away meat left-overs.
The tiny bits OF meat or the small
amount OF meat liquor will add a meat
taste to other foods and reconcile
someone to the substitution OF other
protein foods for the meat TO which
he Is accustomed.
Second, get into the habit OF serving
meat substitutes in the place OF meat.
There are certain foods which will
give the body very much the same
Kind OF nourishment as does meat
MIX, eggs, cheese. beans and peas.
nuts, fish and poultry will do this. Use
these often!
The following hints may prove help
fui In making the family happy on both
meatless days and other days
USE SOUPS.
IL the amount OF the meat left over
Is too small TO use in the following
recipes. Il can always be made into
palatable soup. Cut up the meat, add
water, and cook a few minutes. Add
one-half cup left over tomato or one
tablespoonful OF ketchup, and season
ing. Small pieces OF any vegetable
that happens TO be left over may be
added. celery, onion. beans, etc. Many
Will like the addition OF little rice
or cold cooked macaronL Croutons or
toasted bread cubes are good sub.
stitutes for crackers and often moro
convenient The liquor in which the
meat was cooked may always be sub
stituted for meat and water.
