LAWSUIT THAT WAS
A PUBLIC DISPLAY.

Boscobel had a lawsuit on Thurs
day a week ago, which took on some
OF the proportions of an old-time town
meeting. The city hall was opened
warmed and the public hiked thither
for public entertainment. Evidently
II was hummer, according to the re-
port published in the Dial Enterprise
which reads as follows:
George w. Allen won the case in
The trial last Thursday of John Nc
Cord VS.. Allen for damages.
1t seems that McCord had contract
ed with Allen to cut ties on the lat
ter's land on the Wisconsin river. The
contract was adhered to by both par
ties until q short time ago, when some
trouble arose over the conveying of
the ties across the river. A barge
was constructed ard gasoline en-
CINE mounted on it to propel the craft.
Alter trial the continuance proved
unsatisfactory. All operations then
ceased as the ties could not be brought
to this side of the river and delivered.
Mr.. Allen had signed up with the rail
road company to deliver the ties to
their yards here within a given period
of time after cutting in order to be
able to treat them chemically for
preservation before they seasoned.
When Mr.. McCord failed to furnish a
means of conveyance as per contract
Mr.. Allen was up against it, as he was
unable to deliver his ties in the given
time.
While Mr.. McCord was at home
sick, the engine on the barge was dis
posed of by Allen. McCord then
started suit against him for payment
for his services, material, etc.

1t is said that 100000 acres Of agri-

past fifty of sixty years. Connecti-

New Hampshire has 1000 idle farms
which might be purchased for less
than the cost of the buildings. Yer
mont has as many more. These and
like figures are being brought out in
connection with the movement to place

is no lack of land to be reclaimed. The
problem comes in devising plans to
keep it reclaimed.

GERMANS PLAYING AT
THE POLITICAL GAME

Already the Germans are playing
party politics, a game they have not
been permitted to take a hand in. Sew
en- German political parties were rep
resented in the election Sunday, Jan.
10. They are the principal factions
which grew out of the chaos after the
kaiser's downfall
Their names and some of the things
they stand for are as follows:
Majority Socialists-Ebert's party,
in control of the government since the
kaiser abdicated. Stands for a re-
publican form of government, pur-
chase by the state of public utilities
and state ownership of natural re-
sources, punishment for those re-
sponsible for the war and payment of
the war damages by the great estates.
Independent Socialists-Participa
ed in the provisional government
through membership in the cabinet of
Haase, Ledebour and Barth.
German emOcrats-Moderate bour-
geoise, representing property inter-
ests and therefore opposed to social
iStic programs.
German Peoples Party-Led by
Stresemann, favors saving the old
German aims. Announced for it's
present program only, Peace, bread,
work, order"
German National Peoples Party
Led by Kardoff, largely conservative
National Democrats new party
OF bourgeOise Republicans which
would get away from the mistakes of
the old parties.
The Free German Peoples Party
The old Center party which has its
strength among the Catholics of the
southern states.

Chicken fat does have a different

How to Render Chicken Fat.
On the slip was printed: Heat the
fat very slowly in a double boiler with
whole milk (preferably sour). Use
one-half cup milk to each pound of fat
Strain the rendered fat through a
cloth and when it is set, lift fat from
the milk which remains.
Chicken fat is valuable food" she
went on, "for making other fats like
suet. more usable. These harder fats,
as beef and mutton suet, are much i'm
proved If rendered in the proportions
of two parts to one Of q soft fat such
as that obtained from the chicken. !

fat altogether in my cooking, in prefer

it is the favorite fat Of the French

if mistreated. If you wish to save It
keep it tightly covered, in cool place,
and you will have little trouble
II hope you did not misunderstood
me when I spoke of rendering chicken
fat. 1t is not necessary in many in
stances to go to the trouble of rem
dering it. Chicken fat may be used
for frying purposes just as it is. When
it is used as shortening for mullins,
spiced cookies or chocolate cake,
where it's Characteristic flavor will not
be noticed as it might in white cake
or pastry, it can be melted slowly and
measured without clarifying.
''Keep in mind that it is 100 per
cent fat. Try little experimenting
and see if you do not find that you
prefer it to any other shortening" she
said, as the woman started toward the

"But," said one practical woman as
she stopped in front of the booth, %
would not know how to use it if
did take it out before made the
gravy. If 1t can be used satisfactorily
I'd like to know how"
The uniformed woman in the booth
came forward smilingly. ST am glad
you are interested in knowing how, fol
learning to use all our available fats
is one Of the primary lessons in thrift
these days. am here for the purpose
of telling the value of chicken fat and
how to use it, to all who will stop
and listen. So many people do not
seem to know that chicken fat can be
used as substitute for any fat your
recipes call for"
Use Only Four-Fifths the Quantity
Just then another woman came up
"Well / had abominable luck substi-
tuting chicken fat for butter in my
recipes. Someone told me just what
you are saying now, but my cake fell
and my pie crust was sight"
II am sorry about those cakes and
pies" said the home demonstration
agent in charge of the booth, shut ]
am afraid this someone with whom
you talked did not finish her discus
sion. The fact that your cake fell
would lead you to believe that the
mixture was too rich, wouldn't it?'
"But why would that be?'' broke in
the first woman.
Think Of the butter you used to
make which had some water in it,
and to which you usually added salt.
Now, chicken fat has no water in its
content; it is 100 per cent fat. But
ter contains practically 85 per cent fat
Chicken fat also lacks the salt and the
small amount of curd present in fresh
butter. The difference between chicken
fat and butter for shortening, you see,
is the difference in water content
rather than fat, and that is why you
should use less of the former"
"Then your directions would be to
use less when you are using chicken
fat in place of butter in cooking?"
eyes, use about four-ffths as much
fat as the recipe with butter calls for
and add extra salt"
'Thank you, will try that" said

16,0O0,OO0 pounds in 1914 to 53O,OOO:-
coo pounds in 1918, and there were
notable increases in exports of other
