Rabbit Fricassee.-A young rabbit is
the only kind to use for such dish.
After carefully dressing it cut it up

tiers and eighths. Roll in highly sea-
sOned flour and brown in a little hot
chicken fat, then simmer until tender
and when nearly cooked add cream or
rich milk. Cook until nice gravy is
formed, then serve hot with mashed
potatoes.
Rabbit With Carrots.-Prepare the
rabbit as for a fricRssee, and when
Drowned add a quart or less of finely
shredded carrots cut in matchlike
pieces with q small chopped onion and
plenty Of seasoning; add water to sim

CONTROL OF TREES IN CITY
Los Angeles Newspaper Advocates
Commission Which Should Weld
Absolute Power.

What we need, and need badly
right now, is tree commission hay
ing absolute control of all street
planting. The trees should be taken
away from the Owners of abutting
property. He should neither be held
responsible for them nor allowed to
touch them, any further than any
other resident of the city. Why has
the city taken over street, curb and
sidewalk, and allowed narrow strip
of private property to intervene? Why
does the city partially control it? Is
q divided interest and responsibility
conducive to the best results? A
study of our street planting will quick
~ bring an answer. Not one in
hundred is competent to choose the
right tree for street. The same per
centage will care for them properly,
and about the same number will agree
on the same tree. No resident of Los
Angeles need be told of the outcome
of such laxity of control, or. rather
such absence of control. The need for
a change is great, and the problem
cries to high heaven for relief. When
will it be solved, and solved Alright?
How long are we to continue under
present conditions? All know
change must come-why delay? Our
charter trainers may help us out by
providing for a tree commission in
full control, with a corps Of trained
experts, to give us city in the near
future of which our residents for all
time may be proud as the really city
beautiful.-Los Angeles Times.

INCREASE NUMBER OF FOWL
Endeavor to Insure More Chickens and
Eggs Is Contained in the Maxim
Hatch Early.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
An essential part of the endeavOr to
insure more chickens and eggs is con-
tanned in the maxim-hatch early. The
farmer who matches early in the
spring, either by incubation or natural
methods, seems to have all the best
Of the argument. When chickens are
Matched early in the spring they ma
ture in the fall and lay eggs in the
winter. Then, in the spring they are
ready to hatch early. Late Matched
fowls are late in maturing, do not
lay in the winter, and do not sit until
late in the following spring.

Landscape GARDENING.

Landscape gardening has not re-
ceived the attention that it deserves.
We have not studied the kinds of rose
that thrive best here, nor have we ex-
ercised care in preparing the soil for
thrifty growth and blooming Most
people have merely dug holes in the
ground and planted rose bushes with
out adding the elements on which ros-
es thrive. Then we wonder In the
blooming season why they do not pro
duce fine flowers.

Amsterdam, Dec. s.
Ii now appears that the fornalities
connected with the abdication Of Will
liam Hohenzollern were badly mixed up
and muddled and that both lie and the
German Government were ignorant Of
tho proper formalities.
When he fed by night from Berlin
to German army headquarters, he har-
bored the idea of merely abdicating ae
German Emperor and not as King OF
Prussia, and he appears to have put the
supreme command in possession of his
thoughts. Tho supreme command. how
ever, in view of the rapid development
Of the serious situation at home, had
come to q decision OF which he was not
aware--that complete abdication was
imperative.
Headquarters informed the Govern
ment of this and the Government. ap-
parently regarding the whole matter as
settled, circulated the news through the
Wolff Bureau in the form Of a statement
by Prince Max. then Chancellor. The
eSKaiser, indeed, learned of his alb
dcation through that statement, Of
which he knew nothing until he saw It
in the newspapers. His flight to tho
Netherlands followed, and on his arrival
in this country both he and the Ger
man Government were under the i'm
preston that the entire matter of ab-
dcaticn had been fully and legally set
tied.
This ignorance, however, was dispelled
in the Kaiser's mind first Of all. by
State affairs arising out of his presence
on Dutch soil and by the consequent ne
cessity for legalizing his position. On
November 90, therefore, he wrote out an
act Of abdication as far as he himself
was concerned. This first draft Of the
document was written by tho ex-Kaiser
himself on a sheet Of foolscap and in
pencil.
The Berlin Government, hearing of
this, went into the question and only
then found out that fus and legal alb.
dication was lacking. J. legal adviser
therefore. drew UP the document in
proper form and on November IS tho
royal exile signed II.
The eX-kaiser would only sign a
document settling his own fate, holding
| the opinion that he could not bind the
other members Of his family.

Kerensky, former Russian Premier, de-
clared in an interview today, in which
bo draw a comparison between the Rus

az believe tho German revolution, al
though started under similar conditions
and with similar aims TO the russian

"There are three striking features in
which the two differ.
"First. owing TO peace having been
attained, Germany can devote her en-
tire effort to internal demonstrations IN"
stead of being compelled, like Russia, to
defend herself simultaneously from the
foe.
Second. Germany is subjected to no
powerful, hostile internal propaganda
"Third. If starvation actually threat
