Some Different" Ways
of Preparing Rhubarb

Nearly every back yard con-
tains thriving rhubarb plants.
Plain rhubarb sauce is most de-
licious early in the spring but
the family seems to tire of it soon
and the rhubarb plants are left
unnoticed the rest of the summer.
In these days when transported
FRUITS are so expensive the mex
pensive rhubarb recipes deserve
consideration. Marjorie Shut, of
the Colorado Agricultural College
offers the following methods of
varying the preparation of rhu-
barb:
Rinse, wipe clean and remove
shreds from larger stalks. Cut
stalks in short lengths into a
dish with cover. Scatter sugar
over layers. Add one to two tab
lespoonfuls water. Cover and
cook in moderate oven until ten
der and deep red in color.
Jam made from the following
recipe is inexpensive and delic-
ious:
Select red stalks of rhubarb.
as it makes the richest colored
preserve. Take off the strings of
skin but keep as much of the red
underneath as possible. Cut the
stalks into half-inch slices. Cow
er with an equal weight of sugar
and let stand over night. For each
three pounds of fruit add the
grated rind and juice of one LEM
on. Let boil half an hour, then
let simmer very gently another
half an hour. Seal in small jars.

SCHOOL NOTES
(Wubur Richards)

HUAIh1 u!
Announcing the great Senior
Class Play, "The Honor of Cow
boy" to be given next Tuesday
night at the opera house. This
promises to be the play of the
season, the year, and the history
of the school. Pep? Oh boy, that
is a mild term for the element that
pervades thruout the play. Speed?
Yes, and lots of it. Love? Just
ask Fritzie. Good acting? Apply
to Mrs. Lynn. The tickets cost
only thirty-five cents for adults.
and twenty-five cents for chill
dren. This great drama is cas-
lily worth one dollar a seat. Come
and take it in, you will never have
been better repaid in your life.
This Sunday, June 1, will be the
Baccalaureate Sunday for the
Class of 1919. The sermon will
be held at the Methodist church
at eleven o'clock. DR.. Vincent
will preach the sermon. Mrs.
Froid will have charge of the mu-
sic.
Thursday, the Fifth is the great
night of all history. For that
great evening will be the occas-
ion of the graduation of the great
and far-famed class of 1919. This
evening will transfer this great
throng of home-builders, nation
builders, politicians, theologians.
and various other types of noted
mankind, from old G. c. H. S. to
the world as a whole. DIR. Phil
lips of Denver University will be
the speaker of the evening. Fol-
lowing the traditions of the school
no admission will be charged for
this entertainment.
Buffalo Bill spent Tuesday af-
ternoon in riding around the
range in search of chaps for the
Senior Play. Nothing but chaps
will lend color to the show, and it
was up to someone to get them, so
that is why Bill is so stiff this
morning and the last three or four
mornings.
All the boys of the Senior class
went to Denver last Wednesday in
Wilford's car. They returned the
same evening, but rather behind
their schedule. They got into a
mix-up with Ford in the wilds
of Sixteenth and Champa, and re-
quired some two hours to
straighten out the mess to their
own satisfaction.
The Seniors have been excused
from their work for this week. We
have easily earned it, considering
the four hard years thru which
we had to plow in order to get it

Twentythree Places Boards in Europe Will Remain

Americas Participation Grows.

not likely to suffer through non-par-
ticipation in these European missions,
but that, on the other hand. the trend
OF America will probably be toward
becoming a great moral and stabilizing
factor in the work they are to do.
Another factor that the mission is
concerned about is the growing cost Of
Americas participation in the affairs
of Europe, which threatens to continue
for many years. The fear is expressed
around the Hotel Crillon that Con-
gress will say when the bills are pre-
sented that an effort must be made
toward economy. One American has
made the suggestion that one man
from the United States could serve on
several commissions. but even then
the expense would be large.
1t was recommended to the Council
Of Five to-day that each nation should
have a member on the commissions
for Danzig, Silesia and the Polish
frontier, and that each member have
two assistants to be on the spot to
see that the treaty Is carried out.

LOST ON SAN DIEGO
Crew Gets 500, 900 in Liberty
Securities.
Special Dospdtch 10 The suS.

WASHINGTON, July l6.-Liberty bonds
belonging TO the crew OF the u. 8. S. San
Diego and lost when the vessel was sunk
by mine on Long Island. have been
ordered replaced, Comptroller OF the
Treasury Warwick to-day informed Rep
resentative Gould, IN. ".
The bonds amounted to 100000 and
the delay In replacing them was due
to the fact that the Treasury Depart
ment required satisfaction beyond any
doubt that the bonds were lost. Bonds
of indemnity will be required by the
Government from all members OF the
crew. A bill ordering the ceimburslng
Of the crew passed the House, but failed
In the Senate.
The first claim for new bonds was
filed in September. 1918, in the name
OF James II. Poteet. a member OF the
crew. The Treasury Department then
announced II could not issue the new
bonds until the Navy Department said
the San Diego was beyond salvage. The
bonds were in the lockers of the men,
and the ship sank so rapidly there was
no chance TO rescue them.
On April 20 the Navy Department in
formed the Treasury Department that
moro than thirty depth bombs had been
dropped where the San Diego was sunk
and that subsequent examination dis
closed that the vessel had been de-
stroyed.

Mr. Harmsworth added that he had
no confirmation of the statement made
by Robert J. Lynn. Unlonist member,
who had questioned the Government,
that owing ito the hostility OF the Vail
can to the Allies during the war the
continued presence OF the envoy was
causing considerable resentment among
many who had lost relatives In the
war" Mr.. Lynn represents the Wood
vale Division Of Belfast.

that Great Britain, because of the war
situation, had assumed a new position
in its relations toward the Vatican and
would appoint Minister on special mis-
