HOW TO CONSTRUCT AN
IcELESS REFRIGERATOR

A wooden frame is made with
dimensions 42 by 16 by IA
inches and covered with screen
wire, preferably the rustless
type, which costs little more
than the ordinary kind. The
door is made to fit closely and
is mounted on brass hinges, and
can be fastened with a wooden
latch. The bottom is fitted SOL
i'd, but the top should be COW
cred with screen wire. Adjusta-
BILE shelves can be made of solid
wood or strips or sheets Of gal
vanized metal. Shelves made of
poultry netting on light wooden
frames, as shown in the Illus
tration, are probably the most
desirable. These shelves rest
on side braces placed at desired
intervals. A bread baking pan,
IA by 16 inches, Is placed on the
top and the frame rests in a IL
by 1S-inch pan.
All the woodwork, the shelves
and the pans should receive two
coats of white paint and one or
two coats of white enamel. This
makes a very attractive surface
and one that can be easily kept
clean. The screen wire also may
receive the coat of enamel,
x..l,tol will ,,royopt ~ from rlIct-
ing.
A cover of canton flannel, bur-
lap or duck is made to fit the
frame. Put the smooth side out
If canton flannel is used. 1t will
require about three yards of ma
terial. This cover is buttoned
around the top of the frame and
down the side on which the door
is not hinged, using buggy hooks
and eyes or large-headed tacks
and eyelets worked in the mate
rial. On the front side arrange
the hooks on the top of the door,
instead of on the frame, and also b.
fasten the cover down the latch
side of the door, allowing a wide
hem of the material to overlap
the place where the door closes.
The door can then be opened
without unbuttoning the cover.
The bottom of the cover should
extend down into the lower pan.
Four double strips, which taper
to 8 or 10 inches in width, are
sewed to the upper part of the
cover. These strips form wicks
that dip over into the upper pan.
The dimensions given make
refrigerator of very convenient
size for household use and one
with efficient evaporating sur
face, but it is not necessary to
follow strictly these dimensions.
If a larger capacity is desired
the height of the refrigerator can
be increased.

WAGE INCREASE is
ALLOWED R. R. MEN

M'AD0O MAY NOT APPROVE 1T
Report Of Commission Submitted to d.
rector General Results in Protest
From Four Principal Broth
erhoods.

Washington. D. c., May 9.-Railroad
employees to the number of 1898, ,399
will receive wage advances ranging
from 1 to 43 per cent to the lowest
paid workers, the total aggregating
$300,000,000, according to the report of
the railroad wage commission submit
ted to Director General McAdoo.
Mr.. McAdoo Is expected to adopt
only part of the recommendations and
probably will make a number of diff
ferent alignments In deciding what
wage increases shall be granted.
In 4 1neral, the director general ad-
vocates higher pay for most classes Of
workmen to enable them to meet In
creased living costs, but he has been
represented as favoring proportlonate-
ly larger increases for some classes
than for others now making the same
pay. He also is strongly opposed to
granting wage increases which might
disarrange the general scheme of pay
existing throughout other industries.
Leaders to Protest
The leaders of the four principal
railway brotherhoods found on ex-
amining the report that they had
been recommended for less than half
the Increases they had asked of the
railroad managements before govern
ment control started and which they
repeated before the commission. Their
demands had been for an average of
somewhat less than 40 per cent, and
Increases for them average less than
20 per cent.
Some union leaders who anticipated
that the commissions recommenda-
tions would not be for as great
amounts as they had asked already
have appealed to Director General Nc
Adoo to amend the proposed scale to
give them higher pay. Others, how
ever. virtually have agreed to accept
the report.
The wage advances, which range all
the way from 81 to S34 a month, nre
Increases above the amount of pay
each employee was receiving on De
cember 81, 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that date will
benefit now to the extent of the differ
ence between their present wage and
that fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost of the additional pay

Some FireIess SpeciaIties.

Here are some things that can be
cooked well in the f1reless cooker:
Cereals-Prepare as for the stove
but use one-sixth less water. Boil TOT
ten minutes, or longer with coarser
cereals. Place in the cooker boiling
hot and leave six or eight hours OF
over night.
Meats-Buy cheaper cuts. The fire
less can make tough meat tender.
Creole Stew.
pound lean beef or II cupful rice
l medium fowl. II cupful chopped on
2 cupfuls tomatoes. ion.
/ cupful carrots or Tablespoonful fat.
okra cut small. 1 teaspoontul salt
cupful chopped
sweet peppers.
Cut the meat in small pieces or cut
the fowl into joints. Melt the fat, add
the onions. peppers. meat or chicken.

to the railroads is estimated at S26O,'
100000. This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit of $500 100000 in govern
ment operation OF the railroads this
year, as result of which Director
General McAdoo contemplates ad-
vancing passenger rates at least 21h
per cent and freight rates possibly as
much as 10 per cent.
Based on Living Cost.
The scheme of wage advances adopt
ed is based on an Inquiry into the
cost of living, which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent to the average railroad en-
ployee receiving SS5 month.
The commission favors n shorter
average workday. presumably eight
hours, but decided that In the war
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes OF
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
of some employees, a road engineer.
for example, receiving an increase OF
11H per cent In his mileage rate.
scheme of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.
An important feature of the report
was the recommendation that where
the same service is rendered the pay
shall be the same, without discrimlna-
ton as to sex or race.
Report of Commission.
The report of the commission, cop-
sisting of Franklin X. Lane, secretary
of the interior; Charles @. McChord,
]. Harry Covington, and William Il.
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one. In part
the report says:
@The requests which have come to
us for wage increases, would, II fully
granted, involve an additional outlay
in wages of somewhat over 81 100000
600 per year In excess of the wage fund
of last year. which exceeded $4,000,
100000. Some asked for an increase
Of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.
"An unprecedented call had come for
men of certain trades in connection
with the new industries that had been
created by the war In Europe, and this
long before our entry into the conflict.
Machinists and iron workers of all
kinds found themselves to be essential
to the great munition plants and day
labor of the most unskilled character
rose into high demand.
Cut Off Those Not Needed.
1.-THE commission recommends that
during the period Of government con-
duct Of the railroads no salaries paid
to officials who are not essential to
the operation of the roads shall be
charged as part Of the operating e1-
penses.
There should be constituted a tri-
bunal or tribunals to continue the
study of railroad labor problems. COM
posed in part at least Of men expert
enced In this kind of work, for con-
ditions are ever changing"

USE OF HORSE MEAT
WOULD HELP RELIEVE
NEAT SHORTAGE
Meat is Sweet and Wholesome-Horse
Not Susceptible to Many
Animal Diseases.

Sentiment alone is responsible for
the prejudice against horse meat for
food in this country.
In certain European countries
horse meat has long been eaten and
in face of the present shortage Of
meats, the horse may be a practical
solution of the problem. The horse
is cleanly in his habits, particular in
the selection of food, has very few
communicable diseases and lives on
vegetable diet. He is not subject
to tuberculosis, as are cattle and
hogs. His meat is sweet, wholesome,
and in competition with other meats,
is sought at the same price, in coun-
tries where it is not barred by senti-
ment
There is world of shortage of
meats. Why not open markets for the
sale of horse flesh for food ?-Wm. j.
Feldman, Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, Fort Collins, Colorado.

Pleasant Valley Drainage District

A notice is published in this weeks
Register calling an election for April
22nd to vote on the proposition to is
sue bonds in the sum of $4,000 on the
Pleasant Valley Drainage District for
the purpose of constructing a drain
age system to reclaim seeped lands in
the district. Over thousand acres of
the finest. irrigated lands in the Ark
ansas valley will be redeemed by the
proposed drainage system and at the
cost estimated by the engineer it will
be a net gain in value Of over
hundred dollars per acre at the price
these lands are selling for now. The
enterprising farmers Of that district
are determined to keep abreast Of the
times and allow no more loss through
these heretofore waste lands remain
ing idle.

Cans Stop En-.

The most of the auto companies
claim that the rules with regard to
non-essential freight have stopped
them from shipping cars, and the only
way you can get them is to drive them
from the factory. However. non-es-
sential rules don't apply to Henry
Fords, the people just have to have
them, SO the Sunday garage received
a big shipment of several car loads
this week, and they are going faster
than they came.

Swimming Pool.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
new Lamar swimming pool and the
association recently organized has
enough funds in sight to see the work
through to completion. 1t will only
be short while now until the pool is
ready for the swimmers, but it will
take another change in the weather to
get the latter ready for the pool.

The War.

Deep anxiety has marked all Sec
tions of our country this week as the
opening movements of the greatest
battle in the worlds history begin to
develop. The situation is serious as
the allied armies are desperately try
ing to stem the Hun advance. We
have steadfast faith in the ability of
our allies to hold the line, but tho
wish of all Americans is that we had
n million men over there to help.
Nothing definite will probably devel-
ope for several days, but the drive
seems to be losing force.
