Mayor IcDowell says he wants o

partment in order to clean up the city,
He has been In charge Of the police and
has had every facility to do that himself

Mr.. Worriiow represents the Mcclure

liquor interests are responsible for his
stand in behalf of Hepburn.
"Other interests except radical re-
formers must be considered" he said.
That he would join in an action that

Nothing Kipling has written since 1914
reaches the level of THE Recessional,'
he said. Masefield, however, In the i'm
pass oned quietness of his 1914" poem,
has perhaps done his finest work, but
Mr. Wister was not unduly assertive on
this point. He spoke of the fine utter
ances of Brooke and Seeger, inspired by
their war experiences. and ventured the
thought that English poets seem, by
their nativity, to come closer than their
American cousins to the mystical power
inherent in the language.
Miss Agnes Repplier was called upon
to read poem from Punch. She did
not mention the authors name, but
to an untutored mind 1t seemed to be
from the writings of Miss Clcely Fox
Smith, one of the most talented English
poets of today, though still unknown to
the literary clubs This delightful poem
expressed the sentiments of the Brit sh
sailorman about cumming up with the
Huns, now that the fighting Is over. AS
Miss Repplier very justly observed, the
British sailor is almost the only man
who still seems to think that the Hun
was rather unpleasant in the recent con-
fict, and ought to be soundly strafed.
DAILY Beats Retreat
Mrs. Coates called upon Mr.. Thomas
Augustine DAILY for some sentiments,
but DAILY had field.
4 Mrs. Coates then called upon Mr..
CHRISTOPHER Morley. who said how much
he regretted the absence OF Miss Lowell,
and urged Lieutenant Nichols to spend
part of his time in this country to find
ing out what the American poets are
doing 1t was generally agreed that
Mr.. Morley made a mistake in mention
ing the existence of American poets at
such a time but Lieutenant Nichols
promptly acknowledged that his dearest
ambition was to discover an American
poet.
A. Edward Newton, read a letter
he had had from Miss Amy Lowell, and
said that If Miss Lowell had been able
to come there would have been a lively
time.
Lieutenant Nichols, resuming the plat
form, read some of his own poems. The
meeting then adjourned for lemonade.
Seen after the meeting, Lieutenant
Nichols said he had heard of at least
two poets In this country, Edgar Lee
Masters and Vachel Lindsay. 1t WAS his
opinion that American poets were at
their best when they were themselves,
and did not try to follow the accepted
pathways of the English Parnassus.

FLY REPELLENT is USEFUL
Spraying Should Not Be Done Just Be-
fore Milking, as Milk Absorbs
odors Very Rapidly.

The following homemade fly repel-
Tents to ease old Brindle at milking
time are recommended by Horace
Jones, instructor in dairy husbandry
at South Daktoa State college: ~
100 parts fish oil, 30 parts oil Of tar,
and 1 part crude carbolic acid. Apply
with a sprayer. (2) One pound COM
mon laundry soap, A gallons water, 1
gallsn crude petroleum, and A ounces
powdered naphthalin. Dissolve the
soap in the water and the naphthalin
in the crude petroleum.
Care should be taken that the spray
ing is not done Immediately before
milking as milk absorbs odors very
readily. If the cows are MIXED In
the stable the milk should be removed
Immediately after milking to a cool
place where no odor of the fly repel-
lent exists.

PREVENT NOTIFIES IN BUTTER

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Notified butter is frequently found
on the market, and, even though it
may be of YER good flavor, it is
strongly Disseminated against by the
purchaser. AS this defect is n Of
workmanship, it a be overcome by
the application of proper methods ON
the part of the buttermaker.
Notifies are caused primarily by an
uneven distribution of salt in the but
ter. This may be produced by insult
ficient working of the butter or by
%churning, washing, and working it at
a very low temperature, or by wash
ing or working it at a temperature
several degrees higher or lower than
the churning temperature.
When the quantity of butter made
in one churning is much less than
usual 1t is necessary to work it a
greater number of revolutions of the
churn than usual in order to produce
the same results on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures of
churning, washing, and working
should be avoided, because they pro-
