SEA BUFFALO GOOD EATING"
Other Things Beside the Beefsteak,
to Which the Nation Is Attached,
May Be Made of Use.

Sirloin Of sea buffalo is much es.
teemed in San Francisco and other
Pacific coast cities, where meat Of this
highly valued animal is coming to mar
ket in such quantities as to lower the
cost Of living by keeping down the
price of beef and mutton.
Sea cows and sea horses have long
been Familiarity known, but most folks
would confess themselves unacquaint-
ed with the sea buffalo. If they saw
one, they would call it whale; and
no wonder, for that is the sea buff
falo's other name.
Some people might be prejudiced
against eating whale meat, but sea
buffalo steak sounds good. 1t is good
quite equal, in fact, to the best beef
steak, and hardly distinguishable from
the latter. In the market, sea buffalo
tenderloin (boneless "flet') costs only
Is cents a pound; other cuts are
cheaper.
The gray whale Common in Pacific
waters) furnishes most of the meat.

TOWN HAS HISTORIC PAST
IIfracombe, Popular English Summer
Resort, Has Been Well Known
Through Many Centuries.

Ilfracombe is rapidly becoming popu.
lar as summer resort--or, as the Eng.
lish call it, watering place. 1t is set
on steep hillside, surrounded by "the
seven hills" on the beautiful Devon
shire coast. From the near town Of
Hillsborough 1lfracombe shows a mass
of white cottages, clinging desperately
to the hillside to keep from tumbling
into the Atlantic ocean.
Many people think that 1lfracombe
is modern town, in spite of its quaint
ness, because it has such an up-to-date
air. But Ilfracombe is skillfully cam
ouf1aged antique, having been q harbor
Of some note way back in the twelfth
century. This attractive townlet has
been inflicted with a great variety of
jaw-breaking names during the CEN
turtles of its existence. It's names
range all the way from Aelfringcombe
and Ilfordscombe to Alfredscombe,
and, at last, Ilfracombe. But the good
folk round about Ilfracombe just call
it 'COmbe.
In: 1874 Ilfracombe was one of the

ALIBl PROVED FOR PRETZEL
It Can Be Proved That It Was
Not Of German Origin.

Now comes the lowly pretzel before
the bar of public opinion in valorous
attempt to remove the stigma Of Ger
man origin. 1t has delved deep into
ancient history to prove it's alibi and
upon the face Of the evidence pre-
sented it has made out a reasonable
case for itself. Indignantly does the
pretzel deny that it sprang from un-
hallowed association with German
beer; that use it declares is desc
Grafton of it's originally high birth,
degradation characteristically leu
tonic. The pretzel insists that it is
inherently baked prayer, for in the
early day Of the Christian church the
pretzel was used almost exclusively
as reward of merit given by priest
to children for learning their prayers.
In the monasteries Of the middle ages
the pretzel was considered rare del
icacy, and during lent it was the usual
aims offering. Furthermore the very
crookedness Of the pretzel is a crush
ing argument against it's calumniators,
for it represents the arms folded in
prayer. Thus stands the case for the
sanctity of the HURDLE pretZel.

First QuakerS.

The first Quakers to land on Ameri-
can soil were Mary Fisher and Ann
Austin, who reached Boston in 1856
after long voyage from England by
way of the West Indian island of Bar
bados. The two women caused great
CONSERVATION to the Puritans, and
George Bishop, in an address to the
magistrates, said:
'"rwo women arriving in your har-
Dor so shock We, to the everlasting
shame of you and Of your established
order, as if formidable army had in
vaded your borders"
The Quaker sect, or Society of
Friends, was founded by Fox in 1913,
about eight years before the first men,
bers reached America on July II, 1856.
Later George Fox visited America.
The part played by William Penn and
other Quakers in the early history of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey is IA
miliar to all students of history.

NO LOBSTER AT THAT MEAL
Good and Distinct Reason Why Man
Took His Dinner From the Hum.
BILE Sardine Tin.

A friend of mine is very fond Of lob.
ster, but, like many men, has no idea
how such food is prepared. His wife
had occasion to be absent from home
one day last week, and she told the
servant girl to broil a lobster for my
friends dinner. She left a note, telling
her husband OF the treat she had pro-
vided for him, and requesting him not
to wait dinner for her. He was quite
hungry when he reached home and, af-
ter regarding the note, said to the SER
want:
us that lobster ready?"
mo, sir, it isn't" said the girl.
"Well, hurry up with it. I'm as hum
CRY as BEAR" said he.
II can't, sir" said the girl. 1.-THE
mistress said to broil the lobster, and
I got him on the gridiron after a dale
of fuss. The more poked the fire the
more he walked off, and thought the
haste was haunted and no good would
come from cooking straddle bug like
that"
"What did you do with it," said my
friend, getting mad.
''Faith, the last saw Of him he was
going out the back door with his tail
up, like the maniac he was"
He had sardines for dinner.-London

Can Shyness Be Cured?

What is the remedy for shyness?
What is the shy man to do in order
that he may be shy no longer?
The remedy is simple, and is to be
found by consideration of the cause.
The shy person is shy in the presence
of strangers only. Let him have no
opportunity Of meeting strangers, and
let the opportunity be abolished not
by abolition Of the meetings, but by
abolition of the strangeness. In other
words, shy persons are those who in
early life had not practice and no ex-
perience in meeting strangers, and so
having the attention Of strangers d.
rected to them and attracted to them.
If the meeting with strangers becomes
customary it loses its strangeness.

There is one thing that the Times
Record desires to put up to the farm
ers of the county, and that is the keep
ing open of the roads. A doctor stated
this morning to us that he had a call
fifteen miles in the country to attend
a sick person and on account Of the
roads being in bad condition in some
places he was compelled to take a
team and make that drive when if the
roads had been kept open he could
have done it with his car, have given
the patient quicker service and also
would have. had more time to devote
to others who were calling upon him
for his time and professional services.
What is true of this physician is true
of all of them, and in these times of
much sickness in the country time
means whole lot. These roads could
be kept open with very little trouble
and look at the vast amount of good
it would do many times especially in
times of sickness, when doctor is
needed quickly and urgently. We give
this as a suggestion and hope that it
might be adopted and the roads put
in shape to travel over with car.

ALLIES Are FED
BY SELF denial
Generous Doing Without ir
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since It
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength of those
who have been bearing the brunt Of
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden of keeping starvation from
increasing it's toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by nation harassed
by hunger. A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the ma
lions fighting for democracy; it must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility to re-establish themselves
In freedom and democracy. - .
Without our help it would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to-
maintain a living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con-
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut off, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration of twenty-five million people.
l.. 1t is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance Of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies by the
patriotic, voluntary service of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last, year. would have been SUI
ficient to feed one-tifth of our popula-
ton. And this was done in spite of
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro-
portion Of the food that left this coun-
try last year-was saved out of the nor
mai home consumption of our own
people. - "a
In spite Of difficulties met in inter.
nal transportation. and shortage Of
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted to figure that few
years ago would have been unbelieva-
BILE. Even the most optimistic element
Of our population faced with anxious
CONSERVATION the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
of the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled to save. They have been
appealed to on the basis. of humanity
and of patriotism. They have re.
sponded voluntarily.
