Much cottage cheese was eaten last
year, because it saved meat. The cam
paign to increase its use was carried
on in every state. This year, because
they have learned to like this dairy
product, people want to know more of
the manufacture and use of cottage
cheese. Statewide work for this pur-
pose is being carried on again in Iowa,
Michigan, Kansas, and Utah. In these
states the home manufacture Of cot
tage cheese and butter, when condi-
tions warrant. will be encouraged by
The Colorado statesman., 1919-08-16

the state and federal dairy authorities,
and efforts to increase the general use
of cottage cheese will be made.
In New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode
Island, educational work to teach
housewives the value of skinned milk
products is being carried on in the
cities. The places where the women
demonstrators are endeavoring to Gre
ate a demand are situated where there
is usually surplus Of skim milk.
Dairy specialists will also help the
milkmen in their efforts to manufac-
ture cottage cheese of extra quality.

Atrocious. Indeed.

One of the most famous-as well as
one of the worst-puns of history was
perpetrated by King James l of Eng
land, when Sir Walter Raleigh, whom
for political reasons he d!sliked, was
presented to him. Said the king fix
ing Raleigh with his cold-enough eye,
"Rawly! Rawlyl True enough, for L
think of thee very Rawly. mon"

untYind the Knot.

There is a marriage custom among
the Santals, tribe in India, by which,
after a cash price has been set on the
bride by the parents, the fiance and
his lady tie a knot in a string for
each day to intervene before the we'd
ding. Then the parents separate; day
by day a knot is united, and when the
end of the string is reached the real
knot is tied that makes the couple one.

How a Crab Grows.

The crabs equivalent to the inter-
nal bones of animals is its tough outer
shell, which does not grow. The baby
crab is forced to get rid of this tough
confining person. So it breaks itself
loose internally and then splits its
old protecting home across the ex-
treme back ridge, creeping out in that
way.

Natures Wonderful Work.

Nature gives to every time and sea-
son some beauties of its own; and
from morning to night, as from the
cradle to the grave, is but a success
sion of changes so gentle and easy that
we can scarcely mark their progress.

Resist the Impulse.

The impulse to write poetry is one
that at one .ime or another convulses
every one of us, but our n>tion is that
quite number ought to control and
smother it and very few ought to at
tempt it without first consulting
friends and the family physician
Houston Post.

No Mystery About Them.

Poets are fond of alluding to the
picturesque tradition that pearls are
made from the dew of heaven, but
the fact of the matter is that those
milky balls just merely represent the
efforts of the oyster to cover up an
annoying grain of sand and render it
less irritating.

!" Our Casualty :"

TTOW the war came to the Irish and
i i to Ireland in manyphases is the
chief burden of fourteen of the sixteen
stories that go to make up Our Casualty,
written by that witty Irish clergyman who
calls himself on the title pages of his
books G. A. Birmingham. The opening
tale, from which the book takes its name,
is devoted to the adventures of what we
called Home Guard and its oldest men,
Der, an Irish youth of seventy whom the
commandant Of the organization tried to
protect from his own impetuousity by de-
eldring him casualty in a night relief
operation in the home trenches Getting

What the English Publishers Promise

THERE was, in the old Academy
L newspaper Of about twenty
years ago, a delightful game played
just about this time every September.
1t consisted in giving lists of the pub
fishers autumn announcements and
asking the readers of the paper to
name the two books that promised to
be to them the most interesting. l

a secondhand Bookshop List.

knows that the masterpiece of the
century is not concealed under the
modest announcement: "Patience: a

Will next month Compton Mckenzie

And so on
| don't know that the Autumn
Lists promise at first sight tremen-
dous excitement. The book that will
be to myself by far the most thrilling
will be The Letters of Henry James,
edited by Percy Lubbock and pub
lished by Macmillan. l have seen
great many of these letters and l say
without hesitation that believe them
to be the greatest exposition of the
literary Art that there has been since
the publication of the letters of Flau-
bert. Especially interesting are the
letters to Robert Louis Stevenson
there are also during the last years
some wonderful letters to H. G. Wells.
! Through them all breathes the spirit
of one of the finest, noblest and
bravest gentlemen the modern world
has known.
A wonderful contrast to this vol
ume will be the Letters of Anton
Tchekov that Chatto & Windus are
giving us. Most remarkable is
Tchekov's artistic honesty, his utter
sincerity, his modesty and his hu-
NOR. 1t is a strange coincidence that
his Letters should appear at the same
time as Henry James's. / do not
think they would have cared for one
another's art, and yet they had many
points in common. Their aim was the
same-the aim of truth to life as they
saw it absolutely-but they attained
that aim from exactly opposite d.
rections.
In History we are to have two i'm
portant books Ludendorff s Memoirs,
now running, in Land and Voter
and fascinating psychological reve
lation both Of the man and his coun-
try it is-and Lord Kitchener's Life.
The second of these should stir almost
as much criticism as Lord French S
book. One hopes that it will be writ
ten with more care than the other.
As to fiction, which is the novel that
| personally look forward to with the
most INTEREST," AS Conrad's Arr0w
of Gold appeared in the summer ]
have 10 hesitation in saying that
Swinnerton September is the novel
of the autumn for me. Conrad,
Wells, Bennett, Moore, Kipling, are
giving us nothing; so one must look
to the younger generation, and here |
think that Swinnerton is the most in
teresting ard promising man. He is
as close to reality as any Of them and
at the same time does not give us
chunks of propaganda as do Canaan
and George and some of the younger
women. The interest Of his books de-
ponds on the vitality of his charac
tiers, which is what | think the vital
ity of a novel ought to depend on.
Nocturne was surely little master
piece. However, we will see.
That is Of course purely personal
prediction The sheer Modern
lists" of whom l do not pretend to be
one, will divide their interest, sus-
pect, between book of Miss Romer
Wilson s, the name of which l forget,
Dorothy Richardson's Interim and
Virginia Woolf's Nights aud Days.
Of these three the last should be
most interesting. I am not sure
whether The Voyage Out has been
published in America; if not recon-

tinuing it.
The matter has been taken up with
the Woodbridge authorizes by Alder
man Waters and he expects some ac-
ton will be taken. Owing to the fact
that the bus is running in Woodbridge
township it is beyond the control of
the city.
Numerous complaints resulted from
the action of the bus drivers this
morning in stopping at the city line,

GERMAN LEADER
8 SHOT DOWN
HaSSe Wounded Just Before
Making Address

BIZ The Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct. S-The Hugo-Haase
leader of the Independent socialists
was shot today about a quarter of an
hour before he expected to make a
sensational disclosure to the Nation
al Assembly in connection with the
governments Baltic policies and the
tolerant attitude of Berlin toward the
west Russian anti-Bolshevik govern
ment.
This fact gave currency to a rumor
that the attempt against Herr
Haase's life had a political origin but
a cross examination of Voss, his as
s~ailant, indicates that he was actual
ed by motives of personal revenge.
When the session opened Constan-
tin F~ehrenback, the president of the
national assembly, announced thnt
Herr Haase had been attacked and
the house at once voted him and his
family, as well as his party, an ex-
preston of sympathy.
