In preparing fruits for cocktails
TWO things should he remembered:
The fruit should stand in n strip or
sprinkied with sugar TO be well sweet
ened. TO prepared the strip use twice
as much sugar as water and cook ii
until thoroughly dissolved.
The entire menh should be consid-
ered when serving q fruit cocktail. as
other fruits do not appear at the same
meal. II a vegetable cocktail (put to.
gether with some sort of salad dress
ing) is served the salad is omitted
for that meal.

to be friendly with some of the League officials
and also had many friends among League
farmers, and that he probably could gather
considerable information by reason of that
fact.
McGrath and Manager Ware were very angry
when they lost the investigation. Just before

carrying what information he could back to the

Before the state convention of the National Non
partisan league last summer, the League officials
sent out notices for the holding of a League eau
Gus In each precinct of the state where there was
League organization. Each caucus was to send a
delegate to the state convention After sending
out these notices, we learned in the League offices
that the state council of Defense through the county
councils, planned to forbid the meetings and if
necessary stop them with the home guard Mr.
Evans sent for Attorney Sorensen and asked his
advice in regard to the matter. The next day Mr.
Sorensen submitted opinion to Mr.. Evans and
Mr.. Olson suggesting that injunction proceedings
be instituted to restrain the state council of de-
tense from interfering with the meetings. Mr.
Evans and Mr.. Olson agreed that this plan was
the best and instructed Mr. Sorensen to proceed
with plans for the and to hire another attorney
to assist him in the case
. When learned this, l hurried to a telephone
and got in touch with Palmer, informing him of
the plans for the suit. Palmer came to Lincoln

Immediately and got in touch with Strobe and

advisable that meet them in their Offices in the
Bankers Life building. Upon arriving there, I
met Palmer, Strobe, Beghtol and Cal Emery, a
court reporter. few minutes later Herbert Gooch
came into the Office. They talked principally of
the fact that Attorney Flansburg had been en-
poyed to assist Sorensen in the case and the plans
first discussed were for methods Of crippng the
League by inducing Flansburg to withdraw
ATTEMPT TO CRIPPLE
LEAGUE IN SUIT
It was at first suggested that the men work
through Judge Flansburg, son, but Emery said
that the plan already had been tried and that
Judge Flansburg had refused to interfere Judge
Flansburg, Emery reported said that he saw moth
ing wrong in his father taking the League case
Then it suggested that Flansburg be >ap-
preached by someone who would call his attention
to the fact that his son had been recently killed
in France, and to use this a leverage to urge
him to drop the case. After talking it over, how
ever, they failed to decide on any one who would
approach Flansburg.
Palmer then suggested that one of the judges
in the case be approached He wanted to ego and
fix things they would be sure of where they
were at" he expressed it. Beghtol and the other
attorneys baked at this. Palmer said he realized
that his suggestion out of order and that an
attorney might be disbarred for attempting such
a move but declared that he felt sure enough of
the results to take chance. But Beghtol and
Strobe were unwilling to go to the lengths sug-
gested by Palmer and it agreed that it was
best that another attempt should be made to ap-
proach Flansburg. Even this matter was left
open when the meeting ended.
1t arranged at this time that Beghtol was
to call at my home during the trial whenever he
wanted information. As matter of fact, when
