BILE to exclude Ireland from conscrip-
tion by parliament in which Ireland
was represented and which had COM
mitted the country to the war without
a dissenting voice.
The character of the quarrel, in
which the country was engaged, the
premier said, was as much Irish as
English. When Mr. Lloyd George
referred to Ireland, Alfred Byrne, ma

Potato Butter.

Potato butter is recommended by
the British Ministry of Food as a
cheap substitute for butter, being
made in England at cost of less
than 10 cents per pound, as follows:
Peel the potatoes and boil until
they fall to pieces and become floury
Then rub through fine sieve into a
warmed basin IA ounces of potatoes
and add 2 ounces of butter or marga-
rine and teaspoonfull of salt. Stir
until smooth and then mold into rolls
and keep in cool place. To make
the appearance approvable use butter
coloring, and if intended to keep be-
yond few days, a butter preservative
should be added.

The Americans with the Canadians
had all the ammunition they needed
and although they were unsupported
by the artillery and armed only with
rifles and with few machine guns,
they poured scythe-like streams of
bullets into the enemy at several diff

so hot as to be useless.

When the German attack began the
Americans were working in the rear

A MUSICAL TREAT
AFFORDED BY PUPILS OF THE
KNIGHT-LoGAN STUDIO.

Lovers of music in Oskaloosa en-
joyed rich and rare treat in the Re-
cital that was given at the Congrega-
tionaI church on Tuesday evening by
the Knight-Logan Studio of Musical
Art. in the presentation of Miss Helen
Berenice Smith, pianist, assisted by
Miss Anna b. Johnson of What Cheer,
The church was well filed With an
appreciative audience and the decora-
lions and flowers added touch to the
occasion that was thoroughly pleas
ing
Lester Butler of Eldora, Ernest
Goltry of University Park, and Lloyd
Ruby of Cedar, all pupils of the
studio, served as ushers, and on the
platform were two pianos, one fine
Grand piano, and both during the
evening contributed to the delightful
music that was rendered. Miss Smith
is about 16 years of age, Junior in
the High school, and has resided in
Oskaloosa only about eighteen
months, coming here from st. Paul,
Minnesota.
| Miss Smith is a relative of the
late John f. Lacey and the w. II.
Lacey families. Miss Smith is a
natural musician and this, with
love of music and the artistic cultiva.
ton that has been added, has devel
oped an artist of exceptional merit
for a person of her age. Her play
ing is pure and clear in tone and her
technique and expression is remark
able for one SO young.
In her rendition there was a fuen-
cy and ease in execution that gives
great promise for most useful and
artistic professional career in the
future. During the recital all of her
selections were played without notes
and in their rendition che depended
entirely upon memory Two notable
incidents in the program are worthy
of mention, the first being at the con-
clusion of "An April Shower" new
composition of Frederic Knight Lo-
gan and played for the first time in
public. Miss Smith paid neat and
graceful tribute to Mr.. Logan, by 60
| ing to the choir room and leading him
out on the platform with her, in or
der that he also might share in the
applause. Afterward they both
played the selection over again, using
the two pianos in its rendition.
The second incident was at the close
of the program, in the. execution of
Concerto, opus 16. by Grieg,' the or
1 chestral parts were rendered by Mr..
Logan in company with Miss Smith,
and in this also the two pianos were
used. The effect was grand, and
S rived as an inspiring close to a pro-
gram that was full of merit and de-
Tight.
Miss Johnson in her vocal work
was thoroughly at home and as she
has a rich and clear voice. she was
able to give an Interpretation to her
selections that was genuine pleas
ure to all During the evening two
manuscript songs, Through Azure
Blue" and Wandering il Dream
and" both being sung for the first
time, were the compositions of Mr..
Logan and the words were by Mrs.
Virginia Knight Logan. Miss John
son has been taking both vocal and
instrumental work, with the idea of
teaching, and her work SO far has
been thorough and diligent.

The Boston & Maine railroad has
decided to use its old ties for fuel. A
portable sawmill has been erected at
Lowell Junction, Mass, and the ties
will be carried there to be sawed into
convenient lengths. Years ago the
experiment Of using ties for fuel was
tt idein at least one instance in New
England. For some reason it was
abandoned. One drawback was said
to be the presence of spikes and dirt
in the ties, but there was no such fuel
shortage then as now. The present
situation with regard to coal makes
it desirable that every available sup

poses to use the old ties instead OF
