COOK DRIED VEGETABLES NOW

One way to keep the body in a
healthy condition in winter months rs
to eat plenty Of vegetables. Allof the
stores, dried or canned last summer
should be utilized this winter. Vege-
tables have, great food value and they
save much in expensive meat and
bread. 81
Some general suggestions for cook
ing vegetables that will insure a. well
cooked, tasty dish are given by the
home economics extension department
at Iowa State college as follows:
n Use just enough water to cover
for boiling.
2. Allow one teaspoonful OF salt to
one quart of water.
8. Have water boiling, put in vege-
tables and keep boiling until DONE
Save water for making soup and
gravies.
4, Cook highly favored vegetables
uncovered
S. To prevent loss from steaming,
sprinkle vegetables with salt in the
steamer
6. Wash dried vegetables and soak
several hours before cooking.
7. Soak shriveled root vegetables
in cold water several hours before
pairing.
8. Cook all vegetables until thor
oughly tender, but no longer. Cab
bage, turnips and string beans are
often spoiled by overlooking.

BUICK PRICES
Are REVISED
Sibbert. Reimers Co. Present Revised
Prices on Buick Cars in This
issue Of The Review ID,
No FURTHER !. .EcHANGE MADE
Purchasers Of This Make Of Cars Need
Not Wait for Further Price
Change As There Will be None

An interview with the Sibbert,Reim
ers Co., local Buick distributors, makes
certain that the purchaser of Buick
car between now and, the end of the
1919 season is not running any chance
that the price will be subject to fur
ther change during that period.
II have justs received letter from
the home Office" said Mr.. Sibbert
containing the revised price sched'
ule effective Jan. |, 1919, covering the
various Buick models during the re-
mainder of the season. Four models
have been reduced, in price and the
other two remain untouched.
There has been considerable spec
ulation as to what the Buick Motor
company was going to do about the
prices of their cars. as the close OF
the war left things in such an uncer-
tain condition regarding the price and
quantities of raw material available
that good many people felt 1t would
be impossible for the really big manu-
facturers to find their bearings for
some time to come.
"This prompt action on the part of
the company shows that they have
been able to clear the situation up
sooner than anybody expected and l
for one am delighted with the an
nouncement so early in the season.
Their war orders which have been
demanding the major part of their
energies have been completed and the
announcements of the present prices is
evidence that the Buick Motor COM
pany now has measure of the situa-
tion and sufficient material is in sight
that will permit laying out definite
building schedule which again proves
the buyer of a Buick automobile is at
all times protected against unwar-
ranted price changes.
: "Orders for Buick cars are pling up
on us very fast, and feel reasonably
sure that we shall be able to take care
of the greater part of them within a
reasonable time. We shall continue
to follow our 'old policy of filling or
ders, and will make every effort to
see that no favoritism is shown our
waiting list which plan has worked
out SO admirably in the past.
taBuick enthusiasts appreciate the
Importance of this announcement, be-
cause all uncertainty has now been
removed, both as to the possibility Of
getting. Buick cars this year and the
possibility of the prices being raised
or lowered" ~ .r7., as. =

as to whether or not France could pay
the indemnity; no effort was made tc
feed the starving populace of France
no thought was given to the official
protest Of Alsace Lorraine, to her Cry
as she was ripped from the side of her
|fatherland. Indemnity, annexation
humiliation! Those were Germany's
|terms-and France paid, paid without
the simpering, whining plea that Ger
many is now putting up. '.....
There are more modern examples
of Germany's attitude around peace
tables than that afforded in 1871
Take Rumania. When that nation
protested bitterly against the Ger.
man terms of peace, Germany kindly
replied that Rumania would appreciate
the moderation Of the terms when
those imposed on the western powers
were made known.
Precedent for Allies
Then Germany annexed 100000 Ru-
manian people which is one-tenth of
her population, and took over, among
other things, the rich Rumanian oil
fields for ninety-nine years!
Here's a splendid precedent for the
allies The coal mines of Germany
alone are worth what the war cost!
Where's the difficulty here? Shouldn't
the devil have his dues? If in 1871
Germany took the coal and iron mines
of France, and in 1916 the oil fields
of Rumania, why Should the allies
hesitate now -
Germany has destroyed three hun
dred and fifty thousand homes and
not a home in Germany has been dam
aged. What is wrong in taking mines
to rebuild these homes? 1t is not the
doctrine of an eye for an eye. 1t is
just plain common justice, and the
application of the square deal.
Two brutal monarchiesa built up
largely of stolen territories and
wealth. lie today in the ashes of COM
plete defeat. The wheel of fate has
come round full circle and we are dis,
cussing today the same problems Bis
marck and the houses of Hohenzollern
and Hapsburg discussed. But we are
discussing them from the opposite
side. In their adjudication the allies
will let live. But that will not be
their first consideration. The first and
chief concern of the allies is to live
themselves.

CONFER ON MINES
State Receiyership May Be
Modified, Indication Today.
Permit Companies To Garry Out
Contracts Is Plan.

Partial release of state receivership
over Kansas coal mining properties
was indicated late this afternoon at a
conference between Governor Allen,
the receivers and Judge Finlay of
Chanute. Under plans being consid-
cred, a modification of the receiver
ship order may be asked in order that
coal operators may carry out contracts
in existence at the time the state took
over the mines.
There is little probability that i'm
mediate action will be taken looking
to complete dissolution of state con-
troll of the mines. 1t is the plan of
Governor Allen to dissolve the receiv-
ership with a clear slate so far as
actual expense to the state is con-
cerned. No effort will be made, tho,
TO pay national guard expense from
the receivership. Revenues from sales
of coal, however. have been insuffi-
cient to pay all expenses. As soon as
normal production is restored, it is
believed the expense can be promptly
taken care of.
State receivers stated this afternoon
that a modification of the supreme
court order might be asked which
would permit carrying out of con-
tracts. The receivers would stay on
the job until financial details are ad-
iusted

BACK YARD FRUIT
Ritter Urges Family Orchard so
by 12O Feet.
Unequaled Investment for City
Man, He Asserts.
PICKS VARIETIES CAREFULLY
Second Day Horticultural Con-
VentiOn in Topeka.
Majority Nations Apple Seed
lings Grown in Kaw Valley.

The comfort of a backyard orchard
to city family and the way it may
be accomplished were explained this
morning by c. S. Ritter, of lola, in a
talk before the convention of the Kan
sas Horticultural society
Ritter based his talk on "a plat of
ground SO by 120 feet" On this he
placed apples. peaches, pears, cherries.
grapes, plums. gooseberries and cur
rants. A little orchard, we'll cared for
he asserted. is good investment for
any man. The orchard, however. must
be given the proper care. he said. if
the maximum results are to be OBJ
tanned.
He advocated setting out apple
trees in the front yard For this he
recommended the Yellow Transparent
for several reasons. The fruit is ex-
cellent, it bears early, occupies little
space and the trees are not only beau
tiful but furnish a grateful shade. The
yield is always good. For other parts
cf the lot he named the Crimes Gold
en-. Maiden Blush, Jonathan and other
summer and fall varieties.
Recommends Different Varieties.
He recommended grapes-including
Moore's Early, Niagaras and Concords
as furnishing fine fruit and shade
There should be two varieties of
plums. he said-a juicy, sour variety
for jelly and butter, and a blue plum
Tor eaung. For peaches he advocated
two reestones-Champion and Craw-
ford's Early. Keiffer pears and Mont
morency cherries he placed at the head
of the list. He warned his hearers to
be careful in selecting strawberries
or they will have plenty of plants but
no berries.
During a discussion following an ad-
dress on producing Fruit Trees, Vines
Shrubs and Other Nursery Stock" by
Ernest Worden, of Wellington, it was
declared by President George Hol-
singer that from rs to 80 per cent of
the apple seedlings used in the United
States are grown in the Kaw valley,
within twenty miles of Topeka
In a talk on THE Acre Orchard"
Prof. E. G.. Kelly, of Manhattan

cooperating with growers in develop
ing better orchards. Charles J. Brand.

In the summer OF 1917 booze
tions. They were against the state
bone dry law. An official statement
by the Southwest Interstate Coal OPP
orators association shows that in Au
gust and September, of 1917 eight
mines, employing a total of 1,S20 men,
were idle a day each, part of them
solely as a protest against the bone
dry law, but others coupling with it
protest against the high cost of living.
Some of these locals demanded that
Arthur Capper, then governor. suspend
the bone dry law in Crawford and
Cherokee counties, asserting that it
was impossible to get good drinking
water in many camps and that the for
eign miners. accustomed to alcoholic
beverages all their life. needed liquor
after a hard days work in the mines.
Howat addressed the miners at a
mass meeting in Franklin, explaining
that Governor Capper could not sus-
pend the law. In addition to that, he
made a strong prohibition speech. He
told the men that long ago he drank,
but found it was a bad thing and had
cut it out years before. He told the
men that they were putting themselves
in a wrong and ridiculous position, and
after that there were no more bone
dry strikes.
