ART OF HOME DRYING

Portl&ld, Aug. 13.-We have
made Our war gardens veritable
munition plants. We must now
make every pantry and household
store-room an arsenal for the stor-
age of these munitions of war"
urges the United States Food Admin
istration.
Home drying is by no means a
new art. 1t was used by our grand
mothers in saving apples, peaches,
pears and kindred fruits for winter
use. Until recently, however, the
practice of this form of household
conservation has been given little
application by the present genera
ton, The ease with which the
housekeeper could procure canned
goods from the grocer served to
discourage the use Of this fine old
custom, and dried products found
little favor. Perhaps something less
than world war might have caused
its revival and expansion, but the
fact remains that it was not given
serious consideration until civiliza-
tion was plunged into the whirlpool
of strife. With the outbreak of the
war and the attendant food storage,
fruit drying was revived throughout
America, and with it came the
stimulus for vegetable drying as
we'll. Today vegetables are being
dried in the homes of this country
on scale never before approached,
and it is constantly increasing.
As in the matter Of homecoming
the people Of the United States are
giving practical application to the
urgent plea of the United States
Food Administration. For home
Gamers the watchword is Back up
the cannon by the use of the cam
ners' For home driers it finds ex-
preston in the constant plea to
Fight the foe with the Dreadnaught
anu bllCL. l lS IdilOudl DtuGHL Ol
this progress in enhancing the stay
ing powers of the home grown food
supply is very great.
As means of providing for win
ter food needs the Importance of
fruit drying is given special en-
phasis this year ~ the scarcity of
sugar. Mr.. Hoover states that the
sugar shortage is a real problem at
this time. To save fruits by drying
prevents tying up sugar which is
needed to meet immediate demands.
This gives an added impetus to the
need for drying fruits as we'll as
vegetables.
Eat less sweet food. Put less
sugar in tea and coffee and dissolve
completely what you use. Use less
on cereals. Do not frost cakes. Eat
less candy. Use other sweeteners,
such as maple syrup, honey etc.

PROFITABLE DAIRYING

At a recent meeting of the Oregon
Dairymen's Association, C. l.. Smith,
agriculturist of the O-W. r. r. & y.
Co., was one of the speakers. Pre-
ceding his address, there we're a
number of speakers, and they ex-
pressed the opinion that dairying
was no longer profitable
Mr.. Smith took an opposite view
He said that after fifty years associa-
tion with the dairy interests of the
country, and careful study of con-
ditions from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, he had failed to llnd a place
where the right kind of COW, and
the right kind of a man, combined
with the right kind OF land failed to
give satisfactory results.
Dairymen are commercializing the
industry. They buy their feed, hire
men to do the work and expect a
profit. Now they are asking the
government to regulate the price Of
feed and to raise the price of milk.
Butter is retailing at 55 cents per
pound This is exorbitant. The
wholesale price of butter, should be
based on the wholesale price of its
ingredients, which is 35 cents per
pound. This would leave the whole
saler a handsome profit at 40 cents
per pound, or even less.
The trouble is that the dairymen
are not giving their personal atten-
tion to the business. They are let
ting the hired man do the work, and
he is apathetic.
No country in the world is better
adapted to dairying than the Pacific
Northwest. Pasturing cows and buy
ing feed is wrong. When one acre
of land properly utilized for soiling
crops will feed four times the num-
bT of cows that the same area will
feed if used as a pasture,
If the dairyman will Gull out the
boarders In his herd and raise his
feed, he will have no ground for
complaint. Intelligent, practical,
profitable dairying is the marketing
of well-grown forage, grain and
root crops in the form of milk and
butterfft.

One German Had Right Idea.

A dispatch in the daily papers
gives an account of the capture of a
German soldier. After his capture
he donned Red Cross grassard and
helped bring in American wounded.
German snipers shot at him, and this
so enraged him that he grabbed a
captured machine gun and returned
their fire, dropping two Huns from a
tree.

her position in the palace. Clytemnestra,
Electra's mother, replies only with scorn
when tainted for her evil deeds. An at
tendant now enters, in accordance with
Orestes's plan, to announce the death of
the young man in chariot race in a dis
tant country. His eloquent description of
the race forms one of those long rhetorical
speeches Of which almost every Greek
tragedy can show at least one. The news
Of Orestess death brings despair to Eec-
tra's heart She urges her sister to join
her Immediately in her plan of vengeance.

Presently Orestes and Electra come
face to face, the woman still ignorant
of the truth. He gives her an urn which
he says contains Orestes's ashes This
she apostrophizes:
O sole memorial of his life whom most
OF all alive loved! Orestes mine,
With other thoughts l sent thee forth than
these

In these my hands what is but nothineness;

But now all this has vanished in day,
Then follows the recognition scene" on
which critics have exhausted rich vocab-
ulary of praise. OF all such scenes in the
ancient drama this is generally accepted
as the most pathetic and the most superb
ly dramatic. The greater part of this
expertly managed dialogue follows:
Ores: Is this Electra's noble form see?
Elec.: That self-same form, and sad enough
its state.
Ores: Alas! alas for this sad lot of thine.
Elec.: Surely thou dost not vail, o friend,

phaclite painters and subjects drawn from
the classic legends of Greece
"Thc tendency of the times is to disregard
classic themes but this exhibition empha-
sizes the significance Of ancient history and
legends which show the tragedy of this pres
cnt age to be but a repetition Of the nast.
"Throughout the artists work there is a
marked decorative sense, which would lend
itself to large composition, and this sense
is not rare among painters; but for some
unknown reason the empty wall spaces of our
public buildings remain untitled and our
artists continue to paint easel pictures,
though capable of much broader effort"
TO Mr., Guy Pene du Bois, writing in
"'Ihe New York Evening Post" Mr.. Bur-
roughss work brings back, with modern
notifications, the glory that was Greece:
"Amd his eighteen pictures at the Mont
ross Gallery we shall find as much of Puvis
dc Chavannes as Of Greece. Puvis, anyway
like lngres, is one Of the beads strung on the

classic thread. He is an intellectual mani
testation of enough resource to recognize the
force Of archaic forms. Mr.. BURROUGHS The
Sailors will remind Of the fisherman by
Puvis in the gallery of tho Luxembourg, re-
mind of it in technique rather than in spirit.
The Puvis used to be known among students
Of my time as lie Pauvre Pecheur.' There is
no copy of it here. The fsherman's wife and
child may have been in the boat with him. It
was a poor. boat He stood up in it-a lean,
gaunt and hopeless figure. Behind him were
generations of primitive peoples quite as
dumb as beasts. Mr.. Burroughs's sailors are
lifting a boat into the surf. The boat is dec
Grated with a Greek fret. It is an artistic
boat, which leads at once to suppose that
the men handling it were of happier strain
of fishermen or Of sailors. They had time for
art therefore life could not have been too
great burden; they could appreciate beauty,
thus they must have felt moments Of JOY"
The art critic of 'The New York
World" remarks that Mr.. Burroughs s
work has always been individual, and that
"his personal predictions and methods
have been unatfected":
"In his art he is above all an idcalist, and he
brings highly trained technique to the COM
position of the most delicate and dainty in
ventions. 1t probably would not matter where
he set his easel for subject, because any
scenic background can be applied to his uses
changed modified as he likes, and then sup
piled with figures and accessories to suit his
| fancy, the product becoming a clear deriva-
tive of artistic imagination, expressed in
classic terms. The work suggests that of
Puvi; de Chavannes, whom, doubtless, he
greatly admires, but the simplicity and cheer
full atmosphere of it and it's singular charm
are distinctive and personal, and the canvases
take high rank in decorative creation"
The critic for "The New York Sum-
muses. somewhat whimscally over the
matter of morality. "The moralities," he
decides, "have been Observed" but lie
adds in qualifying parenthess:
"Thc writer, not specialist upon this
point, believes them to have been strictly OBJ
served. At any rate, in the doubtful in
stances of the Consolation of Ariadne' and
the Porter and the Ladies of Bagdad' it is
possible for the pure at heart to take an
optimistic view of the trihing irregularity of
the proceedings"

OF 1t IN "Everyman," under the title "A

ME- last week has seen an increase in

ME- last week has seen an increase in
good things to view at the picture
galleries, and choice of any one
subject is difficult. Perhaps as interest
ing as any is the exhibit of eighteen
paintings by Bryson Burroughs at the
Montross Galleries.
When Mr.. Burroughs first exhibited in
New York, three years ago, writes Royal
Cortissoz in The New York Tribune, there
was Stiffness in his drawing and model
ling, there was hardness in his surfaces,
there was GOODNESS in his color. And yet
he took US captive" Now, continues this
critic, che is even more compelling." To
be sure
"thc old technical foibes arc there, but they
are less insistent upon getting between us
and the true substance of this artists work.
Is 1t that in the short space of two or three
years he has heightened his proficiency as n
craftsman? Yes, in some measure. His sur
faces seem little finer, his handling a
shade less turgid
Yet it is not in the mint and cummin of
technique that note the decisive progress
he has made. 1t is rather in that indefnable
power which distinguishes the creative artist
from the mediocrity, and, some times hap
pens. justifics him where mcdiocrity is bound
to fail"
Three influences are to be noted IN Mr..
Burroughs's work, in the opinion of E. w.
Powell, writing in "Thc New York Even
ing Mail" These are the Persian nflu-
encc, that of Puvis de Chavannes and
something of the Pre- Raphaelites Mr..
Powell writes:
"That these influences arc obvious does not
imply that Mr. Burroughs is not rarely per-
sona Above all, he is poet with a love
OF the classical and predominating decora-
tive sense. Much of the work, therefore, is
mural in both subject and treatment, while
the rest of, it may be called more or less
I mural in treatment only, the subject being
intimate and present day rather than heroic
or legendary
Ellis art recalls to us q gentle music of
bygone days" adds the critic of "Thc New
York Globe" who continues:
