Cold weather offers advantages for
the canning of meat, as bacteria is
less active. Put into jars the surplus
'cockerels and part of the freshly
killed pork, rather than serve them
until the appetite clogs. The meat
ready but for reheating will come
mighty handy when unexpected COM
pany drops in or on a hot day next
summer.

The ideal of the boy and girl

practice the best way to pro-
duce something worth while and
then to give the information to
some one else, who may also
reap the benefits from these bet

own as a food. Many people are just
beginning to find out that nuts are a
valuable source of food. Most varie-
ties have a high nutritive value, due
to their fat and protein content.
Chestnuts stand in class by them
selves, being largely carbohydrate in
composition. They are good boiled and
mashed. Serve as potatoes or use as
stuffing for fowl. Butternuts, black
walnuts, English walnutS, tilberts,
hazel nuts, hickory nuts, pecans and
almonds all may be used as fat savers,
for they are especially rich in fat. 1t
is certain that if you have on hand a
large supply of nuts, you can add at
tractive and varied dishes to your
meals at little expense. The protein
and fat are combined in the nut much
as they are in meat, which makes it u
good substitute for meat. Vegetarians
have learned to make many attractive
combination dishes from nuts, such as
nut loaves, croquettes and souffles,
which they serve in place of meat.
This walnut roast is very palatable.
Almost any nut can be used In place
of the walnut if desired.
Walnut Roast.
2 cupfuls whole / cupful walnut
milk meats (ground)
III cupfuls toasted 2 teaspoonfuls onion
bread crumbs (grated)
eggs 1 teaspoonful salt
Mix the ingredients; pack into a
creased loaf pan and bake.
We all know the place of nuts in
salad making. The ground nuts are
also very good mixed with cottage
cheese. Mold the mixture and slice.
Another attractive dish which is deli
cious served for a Sunday nights sup
per is tomato, celery and nut sand
wich. Slice bread and toast until a
delicate brown. Place slice of to-
mato on slice of the toasted bread,
sprinkle with salt and cover with fine
ly chopped celery mixed with finely
ground nuts. Cover with another slice
of the toasted bread. Some people
prefer to toast the bread for such
sandwiches on one side only, putting
the toasted side out.
In the pastry and cake recipes
which follow, the nuts are used to re-
place the fat usually used. They also
give desirable flavor as well as rich
ness to the products.
Nut Pastry.
Take equal weights of nut meats
and flour sifted with small amount
of salt. Put the flour and nut meats
through a food grinder together until
the nuts are finely ground. Mix with
just enough cold water to make the
mass hold together. Roll thin, cut in
rounds or in strips and bake. These
may be spread with cream cheese and
used as salad wafer or they may be
served as tart spread with jelly or

COWBOYS NOW
 JOIN FORCES

FL PASO, Jan. 27.-High heeled cowboy boots, chaps and ten gallon hats" have replaced shoes of English lasts, pinch back suits and golf caps as the wearing apparel of the majority of recruits who are ac- cepted at the local army recruiting station for service in the American liberty army.
 The rush of the city boys and young men to join the colors is al- most over, according to the officer in charge of the station. But the news that the United States needed her young men has just begun to percolate to the isolated COW camps. ranches and mining districts of the southwest. The result was rush of applicants for enlistment from these sparcely settled districts of the south west.
 When given their choice of branch es in which they may serve, the men invariably ask for assignment to the cavalry division. as they shoot from the saddle and never walk when they can ride. But when they are told the cavalry will not be sent abroad as soon as the other branches they almost change their requests and ask for assignment in the engineers. artillery or even in the infantry. although the typical cowman never walks when he can ride.
 Because of their life outdoors, their regular habits and their acquaintance with the simple fare of the chuck wagons. these men are quickly trans formed into good soldiers. the re- cruiting offices say.

ANNIVERSARY OF DESTRUCTION OF
 U. s. s. MAINE

Tomorrow marks the twentieth an. niversary of the blowing up of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor, Cuba, with loss of 266 members of tho crew.
 Intervention by the United States on behalf Of Cuba's oppression by Spain nccessitated the presence ct war vessel in Cuban waters, and the ill-jated Maine was lying peace fully at anchor at the time of the explosion, Investigation afterward revealed that the Maine had been blown up by exterior agencies. and 1t was this act that proved the ctit- cal point in the relations between Spain and the United States.
 On April 2i. 1898, Spain declared war on the United States, which was followed by q like declaration from the United States on April 25. The first engagement of impor- tance was a naval action on April 27 in which Capt. W. T. Sampson bombarded Matanzas. Spain sent a fleet to Cuban waters and one to the Philippines. On April 30 Ad- miral Dewey, under cover of dark ness, entered Manila halbor with nine vessels. 131 guns and 1878 men. The next morning he attack. ed Admiral Montojos fleet. which lay at anchor in Cavite Bay. After a four-hour fight he destroyed the enemy's fleet and silenced the local Notifications with loss of only six wounded.
 The next naval engagement oc- cured on the morning of July 3. when a fleet under Admiral Cervera attempted to escape from the block ade that had been established at by Admiral Sampson, and he de. stroyed the Spanish fleet with a loss of one man killed and ten wounded. The Spanish loss was $50 killed and 1.7O0 men and officers captured.

DIVING DEMONS
 X THING OF PAST

HONOLULU, Jan. 27.-Tourists arriving at Honolulu will no longer be greeted by what has for very many years been one of the novel attractions of the port. The swim ming boys" have been put out of business by the war.
 The territorial board of harbor commissioners has adopted a new set of rules and regulations for the harbor. intended to obviate the dan ger of fire or explosions that might be caused by enemy aliens. One of these rules is that there shall be no swimming in the harbor, except within fifty yards of the three boat club houses.
 Heretofore every incoming steamer from the coast or from the Orient has been met by "schoo" of young Hawaiian boys who would swim out to meet the vessel and then. sporting like porpoises. accompany it into the dock. It has been the custom of the tourists to toss coins over the side for the boys to dive for. and rarely has it happened that any thin dime sank so far down that il could not be recovered by one of the divers.

BOARD MEMBER
 MUST OBTAIN
 ABSENCE LEAVE

In telegram from Governor Strong received last night by A. R. Heilig, chairman of the local board, information is conveyed that all mem. bers of these boards who are de sirous of leaving their respective towns must secure permission from the governors office before doing so.
 The administration of the selective service law Is being embarrassed by the members of these boards leav- ing without notifying, and as re- suit all members are restricted in the manner as set forth in the fol lowing telegram:
 Juneau, Feb. II. 1918 "Heilig, Board IF.
 Fairbanks.
 First. Please advise each mem. Der of your board that the frequency with which board members have been leaving the towns in which boards are located, and have been going outside, without first notifying and securing permission from. thi office, is having tendency to em. barrass the" administration of the Selective Service Law in the Ter. ritory.
 Second. The period of classifi cation and selection is now rapidly approaching, and 1t is important that all boards members be on hand to classify the questionnaires as rap idly as possible after they shal have been sent to the registrants and returned. Therefore board mem bers will not leave their home town for greater period than one week and will not leave the Territory al all, without first communicating with this office and receiving permission to do so.
 Third. It is recognized that i, may be necessary in cases of UT gent necessity for board members to temporarily leave the Territory and in such cases permits will bt granted, but not otherwise.

FROM
 MEXICO MAKE
 RAID ON RANCH

MARTA, Tex, Jan. 23.-Pioneel days of Indian raids on American set. dement's along the frontier were re. called by old time ranchmen and cattlemen who live in the Big Bend district of Texas by the raids which have occurred during the past two months on isolated ranches along the Mexican boundary.
 Hatred of the white men and a scarcity of food which threatens star vation for the outlaws who dwell along the south side of the inter- national line were responsible fol these raids just as they were for the Indian raids of frontier days At Indio. opposite Buena Vista, and at the Brite ranch in the famous Rim Rock district of the Big Bend. Mexi- can bandits riding stolen horses, shooting American ammunition from American made guns, and many wearing the stolen uniforms of tn, Mexican federal soldiers. charged across the border, circled the home O, the settlers firing volleys into thci adobe ranch houses and killing every, one who could not find cover.
 The raid on the Brite ranch wa typical of the outlaw methods O; these raiders. Fording the Rio Grande from Mexico, fifty of thes, Mexican bandits rode twenty-fiv' miles across the barren desert coun try to the nearest ranch settlement which was the home, store and post office of the l.. c. Brite cattle ranch The Mexicans were careful to ascer' tain that no American soldiers were
 ncamped on the ranch. This wa done the night before by sending 9 deaf and dumb boy to the ranch in the pretext of finding employment He asked permission to camp thero for the night and lighted camp fire which was, in reality, signal fire to the bandits waiting on the top Of Rim Rock, which rises from the level plain like a giant shell.
 The women in the ranch houses were preparing breakfast when the Mexicans opened fire. riding in a circle about the houses and out buildings. Lying on the floor to avoid the high powered bullets which crashed through the windows and doors. the ranchmen fired volley af ter volley at the raiders, their women loading their rifles as fast as they were emptied. Finally the leader ol the band fell with a bullet through his brain and the bandits rode over the Rim Rock with ranchers and flying squadrons of cavalry iron headquarters in close pursuit. They were pursued into Mexico by tht troops and all but eight of the ban dits killed or wounded. Three Americans were killed.

blood suffering and dead of mankind.
 No Nation from this time can ever
 become a hermit Nation. What each
 Nation does affects in some degree
 the people of all Nations. Men and
 women are now living who may see the day when the world will be ruled
 by Right, instead of Might, by Jus

And I am unreservedly persuaded to be- lieve that the mission of America Is to educate and enlighten the world to true Democracy. to the idea that all earthly power is derived only from the people. And this Democ. racy that we are fighting for is the religion of brotherhood among men. A religion that equalizes conditions, not by dragging down but by lift. ing up those who are down; that wages intending war against condi- tions that create poverty: that pro- tects property rights. but that these rights must never be inconsistent with human rights; that seeks more and more Government by the people themselves and an elimination en- tirely of self-appointed vice.regents of any kind of god; that gives to each man an equal chance to live and labor upon the earth and to enjoy untrammeled and unrestricted the gains of honest toll; that de. termines the capacity of a people for self-government, not by the ex- tent of Nations dominions, but by the happiness and welfare of the average individual This is the religion that will lead us and all to the summit where shines in brilliancy the great Light of the Fatherhood of God and the brother hood of man.

SHOWS CIRCLE QUIET
 PRESENT TIME

Recent arrivals from the Circle district convey the information that 1t has been a quiet season in mos respects. While nothing of great importance has been going on in the immediate Circle section, some progress has been made in the out. lying districts.
 On Swift creek, a tributary to Deadwood, work has been going on in small manner Larson brothers, Langlow and Riley & Co. are taking out dumps for the spring cleanup Fair pay has been uncovered on this creek. out the output is ex. pected to be better than last season
 Among those operating on Dead wood this season are George John. son, Oscar Morrel and Ned Greener, all of whom have fair sized dump out now and expect to have them materially increased before the wa ter runs.
 Louis Ludwig, who is operating on Deadwood below discovery, has uncovered good pay and is taking out dump. The ground that he is working Is not one of the creek claims, but one on the hillside. His method of mining Is to tunnel in. He has not yet reached the rim rock so as, to be able to determine the extent of his paystreak, but the ground seems to increase in value as he goes in.
 That the operations of this year will be as great as last is evidenced by the fact that all the miners are having large amount of supplies hauled in to their workings from Circle. It is expected that sufficient labor can be secured to bring the output up to that of previous years.
 The Red Cross movement is also taking hold among the residents of Circle. Recently there was raised the sum of $356 by subscriptions alone. This money has been turned over to the Fairbanks Red Cross and will go to swell the already large fund that has been raised.

CHATANIKA HAS MANY KNITTERS:

 The Woman's Bureau of the Red Cross is immensely proud of the work of the Chatanika Knitting club. They say that there won't be any hard feeling at all If Chatanika beats Fairbanks in the knitting race. This friendly knitting rivalry Is getting very keen. for an Ester woman was heard to say yesterday that she would give up housekeeping if neces' sary to make Ester first in the knit ting score. The towns all along the river are wiring in for wool, and more wool. and word comes every day of new branches of the Tanana Valley Woman's Bureau being or ganized all through the interior. As the work spreads, however. the needs and demands of our army also increase, and the best effort and the continuous effort of all will be needed to see through this critical year of. the war.

CALL MADE FOR
 RECEPTACLES TO HOLD KEEPSAKES

Do not forget that call has been made by the Red Cross for little bright bags of cretonne or similar material, to hold soldiers belong .ngs when they are in the hospital These gay little bags hold all the treasures of the wounded soldier his letters. pay.book, photographs and the like-the things he will not be parted from even when he goes over the top. They are the things found in his pockets when the stretcher-bearers bring him to the advanced clearing station, and there the nurse in whose charge he Is gathers them together and ties them up in the little bag that bears his label. This little bag travels with him. his sole luggage. when he is presently moved back of the lines to truly hospital.
 These bags when finished should measure about 12x14 inches, and can be made of calico or any strong new wash material. but cretonne is pre- ferred by the wounded men them selves. Labels of white glazed cali. co to measure 2X4 inches. and put on two inches from the bottom of the bags and sewn on all around, are necessary for identification tags. and the two tapes of the draw should be run in separately, not one tape run twice around. The wounded men are especially firm in their re- quest for this type of bag.
