FORMER SOLDIERS
SHOW RIYALRIES

Witnesses Express Conflicting Views
rs to Relief for Former Seryicemen.
Several Different Plans Suggested.
Washington, March 5.-Efforts Of
the house ways and means committee
to formulate a soldier relief program
were again complicated today by con-
fltcting views Of witnesses and injec-
ton of the rivarics between various
former soldier organizations into the
hearing.
The committee devoted much time
to listening to a controversy between
~. Lovenbein. chairman OF the Rank
and File Association and Marvis Gates
Sperry, national president Of the Phi
vate Soldiers and Sailors Legion,
Lovenbein answering question Of
Representative Kitchen, Democrat,
Norht Carolina, concerning "phony ru-
mors" that Lovenbein was a Socialist
and Communist, retoreed that Sperry
is controlled by Henry B. Martin"
Martin, who was present, told the
committee he had no interest in the
organization SDerry represented but
advised him on certain economic leg
islativc measures"
Levenbein's suggestion was that ev-
cry man who had served be paid 81
a day with minimum of $40 and that
OF Sperry was that a fiat bonus OF
$500 be granted.
Ninety per cent Of the former service
men favor some plan Of financial rcA
lief. Richard Seclye Jones Of Washing
ton, d. c., editor OF service news
paper, told the committee. He insisted
that more than GO per cent OF those in
the military and naval services were
unOrganized. 1T was difficult. he said,
to test the pulse OF the discharged
veterans through spokesmen of organ
izations." Posts OF the American Ie-
gion and other organizations in the
middle West. he said favor the propos-
cd land bills, adding that former sol
diers would be the last citizens to pre-
cipitate financial influence that might
be the result OF granting a bonus.
'rhe feeling among ey-soldiers"
Jones added, "is that they should be
given at least an even break with those
who worked in shipyards or munition
plants.

Steps In Making Of Butter.
ssss I


l. Butter-making begins with the
production Of the milk The first es-
sential therefore, is a good healthy
COW, rightly fed and housed.
2. Produce clean milk. The thor
ough cleaning and sterilizing of all
milking utensils is essential to the
production Of butter Of good flavor.
8. Cool the milk Immediately after
milking. Hand skim milk for churn-
Ing If a separator Is not used. Fresh
milk should never be mixed with
cream from previous skimmings until
1T has been thoroughly cooled The
cream should be kept as cold as posi-
Bile until time for ripening, when it
should be warmed to from 65 to rs de-
grees f. and held at that point until
a mild acid flavor is developed, usually
about twelve hours. Do not pour warm
water into your milk, but place the
vessel containing your milk into the
warm water. Always use thermome-
ter in order to know that the right
temperature Is reached.
4. The churning temperature should
be such that churning will require
about thirty minutes, usually from 62
to 65 degrees II. in summer and from
So to Sc degree F. in winter. Bring your
cream to churning temperature at
least two hours before churning.
b. Scald and cool the churn. The
barrel churn is recommended. Add
butter color except in spring and
summer. Continue churning until the
butter granues are formed the size
OF grains Of wheat
6. Draw off the buttermilk. The
butter in the granular condition should
be washed twice with water about the
same temperature as the butter milk
The buttermilk should be washed out,
not worked out
T. Place the butter on worker or
other convenient receptacle. Add salt
and work until the salt is evenly dis
tributed. The best butter has a waxy
body, bright appearance, and when
a slab is broken, grain like broken
steel Overworked butter has a sticky,
solvy body, dull greasy appearance,
and gummy grain.
8. Make into l ID. square mold for
market. wrapping in white parchment
paper and inclosing in paraffined
carton.
Demonstrations in making butter
have been given in several communi-
ties Another demonstration will be
given at the Court House in April. Ev-
cry housekeepcr, who Intends to en-
ter this contest, Is urged to attend this
demonstration. For further informa-
ton or help in making Of butter. apply
