range around four and a half million
bushels or better, good crop for the
county, especially good in view Of the
hot weather through which the grain
passed. It's weight is probably better
than that Of last year all around but,
because of the smut, the grade will
suffer somewhat.
Some wheat is being S. ,ped. Quite
a lot of II. in fact. 1t is, however,
purely for coast mills. None has yet
gone east and none has been ship
for export. The fact that. Umatilla
county's harvest is earlier than other
sections, has been boon for those
farmers who were first ready to de-
liver wheat for premium, said to be
around five cents bushel, has been
paid a fortunate few. TINS is said to
be the only county in the northwest
where premium has been paid and 1t
is not expected that there viii be
more than small amount paid for at
this price, II there shoph be any more.
For the remainder Of the season,
farmers may expect to have their
wheat handled, generally speaking, in
the same ma-aer as last year. on CON

INDIAN CELEBRAT0Rs
ARE BREAKING CAMP
Nez Perces and Yaklmas Co to Their
Homes From Races

ttSthSo = tSbt ttIS~c
The 1918 Indian annual celebration
at Cayuse camping grounds, on the
Umatilla reservation has come to a
close and the Mex Perces and Yaki-
ma visitors have broken camp after
spending three weeks with the Walla
Walla, Umatillla and Cayuse tribes, as
their guests.
The horse races and Indian gamb-
ling games did not develop as much
interest, apparently this year as in
the past, although some good races
were pulled off, and large sums Of
money changed hands /1n the games
There are only two classes Of In
dians going home from the gathering
the broke and near-broke or the ones
who acquired sudden riches at the
expense Of their fellows. Working
themselves into frenzy over the old
time stock" game, some of the In
dians have staked all their posses
sions. One Indian lost an outfit, in,
Guiding horse and blakets, but his
credit was good ad he still tried to
win them back The Indian wives sit
back Of the players, and watched
their husbands squander all they had
and never batted an eye.

Mayor Schwei-kert Says Bor-

By Special Correspondent.
SPOTSWOOD, Jar. 2:-Mayor
Peter ]. schwei-Kert yesterday ad-
dressed the members of the borough
council at its organization, calling at
tention to the need for a lookup in
the borough as well as the safe
guarding of the citizens at grade
crossings.
His address follows:
Complying with the duty cast up
on me as mayor of the borough of
Spotswood, 1 have the honor to sub
consideration which 1 trust will meet
with your approval and hearty CO.
operation.
The first and most important mat
ter to my mind is the safeguarding
of the public from the death dealing
grade crossings of which we have
three in the borough. Immediate
steps must be taken to further pro-
tect u citizens at these dangerous
of z p. NJ. and 7 A. M.
Secondly, speed and light signs
should be erected at the borough
limits and the law enforced in this
respect. There should also be erect
cd school signs warning the autoist
OF the proximity of the school.
Another real necessity is a bor-
ough lookup. Many times local ar
rests are made at night and the pris-
oners have had to be taken to James
burg or South River. These towns
object to caring for our prisoners,
especially without any remuneration,
and SO 1 hope that plans may be made
whereby we have a suitable place for
purposes with an officer in
charged.
IT also propose the numbering of
houses in the village.
"The keeping of our roads in good
condition is always imperative.
IT trust to lay our hearty CO.
operation in the governing of Spots
wood during my term of office. I
wish to assure you that / shall do all
that lies in my power to make affairs
run smoothly and work at all times
for the best interest of the citizens of
this borough"

In of the mayor and councilmen, the
appointing of O borough clerk and
president of the council, the setting of
meeting nights for the coming year
and the reading of the annual message
by the mayor vas the principal bust
ness transacted by the borough coun-
Gil at its organization meeting yester-
day at IL o'clock 10
Following the sewaring In of the
mayor and councilmen by the clerk,
Mayor Arris B. Henderson reappoint-
ed William A. Rodgers as borough
clerk for the yea 1919. The appoint
ment was confirmed by vote of the
council. Professor Frank Howard
Lloyd was again chosen by the coun-
ciimen to act as president of the or
ganization. James Fury, the only new
member of the council this year, was
present and sworn into Office.
The meeting nights decided upon
for the year were the second and
fourth Tuesdays of the month. Dur
ing the months of June, July and
August only one meeting will be held.
this being the last Tuesday night OF
these months.
A communication vas received from
the public utility commission stating
that they would investigate the trolley
service being rendered the borough
by the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany, and of which the borough had
complained.
The mayors message, which was
read and received by vote of the coun-
Gil, made several recommendations.
among them being the installation of
a sewer system, raising the rate of the
water rent, IL the present rate Is not
sufficient to maintain the plant n
careful consideration of the floating
Indebtedness of the borough. The mes
sage as read by Mayor Henderson fol-
lows in part
ITO the Honorable Council of the Bor-
ough of Matawan:
1T Is indeed a pleasure to have this
opportunity t. address your honorable
body again and to give expression of
my gratitude for the in which
you have conducted the work for the
past year.
During the past yea contemplated
improvements have been suspended on
account of the war, but now that the
val is over, certain improvements
should be made and completed.
IT therefore recommend that the
sewer question be taken up again, and
tho sewer system be installed in the
borough as soon as conditions warrant
our starting the work.
I also recommend that we give
careful consideration to the floating
indebtedness of approximately So. 900,
hat we have been carrying since 1916,
and hat you take into consideration
the Feasibility OF adding this amount
or part OF 1t to the budget for this
year.
Furthermore, I recommend that IL
the recent raise in rates for water
is not sufficient to maintain the plant,
that a further raise be made In the
price of water, rather than have a de-
felt chargeable each year., indirectly
at least against omr budget. which de-
felt has to be made up and paid for
through Or by general tax.
II thank you for the hearty support
6hd cooperation given me during the
past year. and trust the same spirit
will prevail throughout the coming
year.
Respectfully submitted.

HOUSEWIFE HINTS
A Good Cereal Story.

When it is necessary to supply q
large quantity of food at low cost,
dieticians have ascertained that about
half the nutriment needed by the av-
erage person can be supplied by GER
calls alone. The qualities in which
cereals may be deficient c~e supplied
by milk, fruit and vegetables.
When cereals form a large portion
of the diet, 1t is especially important
that they should be perfectly cooked
n Favored to render them palatable.
A f~ireless cooker, which permits thor
ough steaming owe night, is perhaps
the ideal method of cooking cereal.
Various sorts of cereal require differ
ent periods of cooking. Here is a ta-
BILE for the most familiar sorts.
Cook oatmeal, 4 cupfuls of water
to 1 OF cereal, from 3 to s hours.
Rolled oats, 2 Ia cupfuls of water
to / cupful cereal, 2 hours.
Rice, s cupfuls water to 1 cupful
cereal, 1-2 hour.
Rice (steamed), 8 cupfuls of water
to l cupful cereal. 1 hour.
Wheat (granulated), IA cupful
water to ! cupful cereal, 1 to ) hours.
Cornmeal, 6 cupfuls water to 1 cup
full cornmeal. 3 to 6 hours.
Hominy, 4 cupfuls water to 1 cup
full cereal. 2 to ( hours.
When cereals are cooked on top of
the stove, over direct heat. they should
be cooked in n double boiler. Salt the
water, allowing 1 teaspoonful salt to
zach quart. When the water boils,
stir the cereal in slowly. Boil hard
five minutes over direct heat. Finish
cooking in double boiler without
stirring. When done, all the water
should be absorbed.
Cereals cooked in a f~freless cooker
should be prepared as for the stove,
but one-sixth less water should be
used. Boil over direct fire for ten min
utes, allowing fifteen minutes for
coarser cereals. Put in the cooker
when at boiling temperature and leave
overnight.
To add variety to plain cereal, slices
of dried fruit, or dates. raislns or figs
may be added while cooking. Fresh.
fruit may be added during the last
thirty minutes.
Leftover cereal may be nodded in
oil pans or bowls, sliced cold, dipped
in egg and cornmeal and fried and
served with syrup. II nodded in indi-
vidual molds, ii may be served cold
with cream and sugar, or with whipped
cream.
If cooked with soup stock or bits of
meat. and seasoned. 1t may be served
as a potato substitute.
