Fearless Cooks.

M. Paul Biraults, editor Of the Bull
letin des Armees de la Republique,
who recently returned to Paris from a
visit to the British front, is a man of
discernment. The day after he had
witnessed a battle, seeing it all "from
the artillery preparation up to the
wave of assault" he was asked, at the
generals table, what had impressed
him most. He promptly replied: "The
kitchens of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers.
Amongst all those soldiers" he added,
"who rivaed each other in courage,
those who seemed to me the finest were
the cooks, who, unarmed, under the
shell fire, polished up their pots and
pans as If their kitchen on wheels were
appearing in a review" Anyone might
have notice it, of course; but then
most people, in all probability, would
not.

HOP GROWERS Thinks
ACREAGE REDUCED
IN SALEM DISTRICT
Many Growers Have PloWed
Up All or Part of Their
Former Yards

Hop growers are inclined to the opin-
ion that the acreage will be materially
reduced this year. The market at pre-
sent is quiet ats and 16 cents which
they figure does not mean an especially
profitable crop considering the increas-
ed cost of labor. According to reports
of the various fields that are being
plOwed up this spring, the indications
are the acreage will be reduced fully
one-third of that of one year ago.
Donald Mccarthy of Orevilla has
plowed up part of his hop yards this
spring and it is understood Gilbert &
Patterson have plowed up about 40
acres. Richard Patterson of Waconda
has plOwed up all of his old yards.
Merrill Harding will put the land used
for his 50 acre hop yard TO other uses
this year. Homer Goulet living near
Brooks has plowed up his 40 acre tract
and Romeo Goulet is devoting all his
hop lands to other crops.
1t is understood that L, H. McMahan
has plowed up about so acres of hops.
The E. Clemens-Hors Co., of ~Independ-
ence last fall plowed up part Of its sin
gle tract of $50 acres and it is under
stood the remainder of the tract will be
plowed up this season. This was the
largest hop yard in n tract in the
state.
There is no demand from England for
hops at present and even if there was,
no ships could be found for the bust
ness. Almost all breweries IN the coun-
try have seen the prohibition hand
writing on the wall and are putting in
machinery for the manufacture of soft
drinks. A soft drink is anything in
the way of a liquid that contains not
more thar one-half of one per cent al
oohol.
The great A~nheuser-Bu brewery at
st. Louis is making Bevo and the
Schlitz people are selling Blitz. Other
soft drinks on the market are Silver
Foam, Emoh, Rainier, Luxe, Malta, Life
staff, and various malt extracts and it
is from the manufacture of these innoc-
uous drinks that the hop market is to
be maintained.
