STORING BUTTER
FOR HOME USE

There is little doubt in many minds
that butter will reach a price of one
dollar pound this winter. Whether
this is true or not it is certain butter
will not drop in price. Since butter
can be kept just as easily as fruits
and vegetables, some farmers are
giving much attention to the storing
of butter for winter use. Following
are the directions, given in brief by
w. B. Combs of the University Of
Missouri College of Agriculture, for
storing butter:
Make butter from sweet or only
slightly sour cream. Salt as usual.
Scald all utensils that are to come in
contact with the cream or butter.
Pack butter firmly in one or two
pound crooks. Wrap each crock with
muslin which has been boiled previous
y. Place crooks containing butter in
a larger crock and cover with brine of
sufficient strength to float an egg. To
every three pounds of salt used, add
one pound Of sugar and one-fourth
pound of saltpeter. The brine mix
ture should be boiled, SKINNED. and
allowed to cool before using.

in Order to Block President Wilson

ployer, a magazine published in Wor-
chester. Mass, and said to be support
ed by certain manufacturing interests,
demand was made that the War La
Dor Board resign. 1t was suggested
that the decision in the Smith &
Wesson case should have compelled
these designations the moment the
President took over that company. 1t

ton of Labor and has a design to I'M

made to the joint chairman of the
board, William Howard Taft, former
President
Double Contributions Suggested
Following the attack on the board,
an appeal is made to overthrow the
Democratic majority in the House and
Senate, and it is suggested that dou-
BILE the contributions of 1916 should
be made to the Republican party.
James A. Emery, former president of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, and a prominent figure in the
famous investigation of that organi-
cation by the Lobby Committee of
Congress, is one of the contributors to
this publication.
Cummings also calls attention to the
suggestion of Will H. Hays, national
chairman of the Republican party,
that So would be supplied Kentucky
Republicans for every dollar contrib
utter by the State Committee. lobe
Hert, Western Republican manager in
1913 and famous in Indiana because
of his connection with the Indiana
State Reformatory before reforms
were inauguratcd there, also promis-
ed to contribute dollar fer dollar to
the Republicans. He is now State
Chairman in Kentucky. The Repub-
licans then promised to raise $4,000,
which indicates, for one State, an ex-
penditure Of 100000 is to be made,
according to Cummings.
But more convincing than anything
else is the appeal by Hays to 1,500
Republicans to contribute $1,000 each,
total campaign fund of $1,500,000,
thus being sought. The record of
Hays in Indiana when he was State
Chairman shows an expenditure in
that State in the 1916 campaign Of
more money than had ever been spent
in a campaign by 9ny two parties in
previous history.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 27.--Im-
mensc sums of money are being OBJ
tanned through selfish interests to as
sist in the election of Republican
Congress, so that the hands of the
President can be tied. These selfish
interests have no sympathy with the
progressive measures enacted under
his leadership. They are endeavoring
only to control the machinery Of Gov
eminent.
This is a summary of statement
made public tonight by Homer S.
Cummings, acting chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. Cum
mings' charges are supported by
statements made by him Of specific
instances wherein the hand of the in
terests can be seen operating.
1t is the information given to the
public tonight by Cummings which
caused the President to appeal direct
to the voters for support for the DEM
ocratic ticket, according to Democrat
ic leaders. Not until he had seen the
danger to the country in these insid-
ious attempts to gain control did the
President take action, and then in the
interests of the people he is trying to
serve, he made the appeal, they as
sert.
Situation Is Appalling
"The stakes for which the interests
are playing are high and their re-
sources are enormous" said Cum
mings. "The country will be appalled,
when it learns to what extent money
is being used for the purpose of elect
ing congress adverse to the Presi-
dent. If it is profitable to spend
$l7S,000 merely to obtain a nomina-
ton for the United States Senate on
the Republican ticket in Michigan,
what limit will the imagination place
upon a corruption fund which will be
disbursed in the elections throughout
the country?
"Thcrc is but one safe thing which
the independent and patriotic voter
can Go and that is to follow the lead
erslip of President Wilson, not only
for the purpose of winning the war
and securing an enduring peace, but
for the purpose of thwarting the hid
den forces which are seeking to de-
stroy him."

editorial in The Voter and His En-
