A Soldier in the World

soldier who is running for Congress- In

The League Of Nations had been sug-

DON'T sKlMP ON SCHOOLS

Every magazine and newspaper in
the land Is printing editorials con-
corning the schools of the nation.
The Youths Companion has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the schools
In America:
"The schools Of America were
founded and maintained by sacrifice
only so can they be preserved. The
teacher must be convinced of the
value and dignity of his service that
he will not lightly abandon 1t for
some occupation that offers more ease
or excitement or money. And on the
other hand the public must stop being
niggardly. It must tax itself more
heavily for schools than 1t has been
IN the habit OF doing, and It must pay
salaries that do not degrade the
teacher In theNeye of the community
Wherever else county must skimp,
let 1t not skimp on its schools"

which are giving splendid service, A
few of the rural districts in Kentucky
have done the same thing for their
children, but many counties have been
backward in giv.ag the country child
n real opportunity FOR first-class cd
ucatinn because of laws which ltlre
permitted the schools to be pulled into
local politics.
1T is indeed fortunate thai both OF
the political parties in Kentucky ar
the last session of the Legislature
laid aside all party feeling, got to-
gether and passed a group Of strong
school laws that will remake the rural
schools. These new school laws will
practically take the County Boards Of
Education and the County Superin-
tendent out of politics and keep them
out of politics If the voters will think
Of the children when they go to the
polls in November. 81
Every right thinking man and
woman should vote fDr strong men for

These right thinking; people should
also urge others to do likewise that

to serve the children, and in serving
the children make the State what II

BIG men ENDORSE new SCHOOL LAW
Democratic Senator and Republican Leader In Accord
On Welfare of Children

senator j. G. w. Beckman was seen
solpe time ago by your staff repre-
sentative who asked the Senator for
his views upon the new County School
Administration Law. The Senator's
very hopeful statement Is given in full
below:

the last session of the Legislature, I

visions and am very hopeful that 1t

county schools and enable them to

prove satisfactory and successful In
every way.

GOV. cox AND ThE FARMERS.

In 1918. when the whole nation was
alive to the necessity of stimulating
agricultural production. Governor Cox
went to work to aid the Ohio farmers
He called n meeting Of tractor man
ufacturers and stated that he wanted
them to allot at least fifteen hundred
farm tractors for sale in Ohio. He
then went to the Superintendent OF
the State Banking Department and OBJ
tanned letters to every banker in the
State, urging financial assistance TO
farmers in the matter Of buying trac-
tors. He deposited two million dol
lars of the State Industrial Commits
sion funds in country banks. with a
hint that they lend at least some of 1t
to farmers buying tractors. a.
Governor Cox then went to the Fed
eral Reserve Bank and secured rul-

chasing tractors be discounted on the
same basis as agricultural implement

TURKSPILLACE
SEAT OF CARS
Little Paradise Beside
Black Sea Victim OF
Moslems

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. ". -
PiTlage by the Turks of the Imperial
Russian watering place of Abbas
Touman in the Caucasus mountains,
is being investigated here. A larg
quantity of the furnishings and paint
ings belonging to the luxurious VII
las of this little cigy, where many
of the aristocracy OF Russia used TO
pass their vacations, has been dls-
covered in Constantinople. Some OF
these furnihhings are in the palace
of Enver Pasha, formerly Turkish
war minister, on the Bosphorus, now
occupied by the French general staff.
The pillage of Abbas Touman Is
one of the untold stories of the ra-
pacious Turpish pashas and generals
Abbas Touman is unknown outside
of Russia. Yet it was one of the
little paradises with which count1ies
living near the Black Sea are bless
ed. Nesting in the mountains CT
Georgia, it possessed one of the beau
tiful and lengthy driveways for winch
the Caucasus is famous. During the
hot summer months, the Imperial
Russian family used to pass few
weeks among the pines of the rich
center of museums, villas and church,
es.
Up the beautiful roads from Ba..
tum to Tiflis, came in the spring Of
1917. the Turkish army, following
on the retreat of the Russian army,
which had gone Bolshevik: The
Turks were amazed at the riches of
Abbas Touman. The commandant
of the 31st brigade sealed up all the
valuables he could find. Then came
the signing of the treaty by which
Touman was left to Georgia.
No sooner had the Turkish com
mander learned of this treaty then
he gathered up, before leaving, all
valuables and hurried them to Batum.
He notified Essad Pasha at Con-
stantinople that this booty should
be offered to the Sultan Meanwhile
rs his army withdrew, it is charged
that he systematically robbed church
es and converts and sent these tres
ures also to Batum. The other Turk
ieh commanders are alleged to have
shared in the loot.
Finally the three men sent their
relative shares to Constantinople,
when Fnver Pasha demanded to have
a look at the three lots. AS minister
of war he took his choice and sent
some of the furniture and pictures
to Kouroutschesme. his marble faced
palace on the Bosphorus, where they
still remain.

Roast Turkey.
Choose an or 10 pound hen
turkey If you are serving so many
people that this size will not be
enough, use two birds rather than
one bigger one. The meat of big
turkey is not as tender or fine flaw
ored as that of a small one. After
the turkey has been cleaned, stuffed
and trussed. rub the entire surface
with salt. Work five tablespoons of
butter with 8 tablespoons of flour
and spread over the breast, legs and
wings Put on the rack in a self
basting rooster in hot oven for 20
minutes. The flour should begin to
brown. Reduce heat and add l 1-2
cups of hot water When this water
cooks away add more water and but
ter and haste the turkey with
spoon.
II a self-basking rooster is not
used the turkey should be steamed
for an hour before roasting. Steam
and then stuff and rub with butter
and flour and roast as usual. The
giblets are cooked separately and the
water used for gravy. When the
giblets are tender, put through the
food chopper and strain the gravy
over them. A plain bread stuffing
is always acceptable with turkey.
STUFFING.s
1-2 cups stale soft bread crumbs
1-2 cup melted butter.
teaspoon salt,
1-2 teaspoon pepper.
1-2 teaspoon sage (optionaD hot
water.
Use just enough water to hold the
crumbs together. An egg is not
necessary if the stuffing is to be eat

We're all that way to a certain eX-

And Thanksgiving dinner does call for
pumpkin pie. Nesselrod pudding

sion at many dinner, but pumpkin
pie touches the spot in the hearts and
appetities Of every citizen.

ciated in the South. Nearly every

make pumpkin pie as it should be
made? | am going to give. you a
recipe that / know is all right, and
one that is economical, too.
Traditional Spirit.
Our Thanksgiving Day is so es-
sentially an American family day
that the dinner may well have the
informal, homely touch" From soup
to nuts" the feast best preserves the
traditional spirit of the day by its
simplicity and abundance.
Ever since the Pilgrim Fathers
dignified the wild turkey by provid.
ing it for their fist Thanksgiving,
we have accepted it as the national
bird of the day So even if turkey
is expensive why not serve it and
subordinate the rest of the meal to
it? The cost will be the same in the
end. Let all the other things to eat
be merely filling, supplying the
"homely traditional spirit" Highly
favored appetizers, elaborate salads
and desserts really have no place IN
the Thanksgiving dinner.
