If she will try using the parts of the animals which are less known. and, therefore, less in demand, she will find an almost limitless variety of meat dishes from which to choose; and, incidentally, a considerable saw ing on her meat bill.
 Extra meat portions" Is term used to signify the internal organs and the trimmings" of the carcass which are used in our menage.
 The housewife is familiar with the carcass as it is offered for sale in the retail shop. Perhaps she sees the half or squarter carcass, and perhaps only the primal cuts" which are the quar- ters further divided into convenient portions for the retail merchant. Such primal parts are the chuck, shank, ribs, brisket, flank, loin. round, etc. The housewife knows there are other parts, such as head, feet. heart. liver, tongue, sweetbreads-some of these are also used for food.
 Many portions used by European na- tions are not popular with Americans, but all housewives are familiar with the liver, heart, tongue, sweetbreads, tripe and pigs feet. The housewife has at least a passing acquaintance with some meat products on the market

NEIGHBORLINESS.

Did you ever stop to think OF the
great humanizing quality of neighbor-
illness? Contrast a community where
it thrives, where everybody are neigh
bors with one where it is negligible
quantity.
Consider how gregarious creature
is man, and how his nature demands
intercourse with his fellows. Did you
ever stop to reckon up your per cent
age of happiness and comfort-just
what it would amount to without your
neighbors? About nine-tenths of all
the enjoyment one gets out of life
comes either directly or indirectly
from our neighbors, our friends.
Without these we would be hermits,
or Robinson Crusoe's brought up to
date. Are you doing your part as a
neighbor? Do you realize that your
neighbor needs neighbor just as bad
as you do? Are you doing Your full
part to pass along the little acts OF
kindness, neighborliness that makes
life more worth while, or are you
like the sponge, absorbing until you
are full and never giving up until You
are squeezed.

he will be on the way to the national

people of the state know my record
and know that I have endeavored to

pecially of late"

Several of the party made purchases
which will add materially to the move

bull association in the County with
four fine bulls, one of which is said
to be worth $4,000, and some of his
calves are held at $1,000 each. When
he was bought by the Indiantown as

atty the reply has come back that
virtually amounted to this, that it
had never been done that way, and l
felt like saying, Well, nothing was
ever done so Systematically as moth
ing is being done now. Therefore, I
should like to see something unusual
happen Another of the wonderful
bits of forceful inspiration was the
adjuration, Please leave out of your
vocabulary altogether the word 'pru-
dence,'
And yet the United States has been
condescended to by our British cousins
when the testimony is that upon land
and sea the war was won after this
country went into it, casting pru-
dence to the winds and smashing the
idols of European traditions. Ger
many lost the war because of doing
things the way they had been done
before and relying upon maunderings
of an old-school war boafd. The AL
lies were in process of losing the war
upon the same account. The United
States entered into it with the splen-
did ameteurishness of which Mr.. Will
son spoke, and beset with the one
idea. to win at all hazards. The mat
ter, therefore, was speedily closed up.
The North Sea barrage, feat of tre-
mendous genius, was the great contri-
button of this country upon the seas
in addition to the feat of getting g.
100000 of men over the ocean that
had been in the state of farm over
run with hornets. The magnificent
dash and valor of the men of the navy
and of the army of the United States
responded to the magnificent daring
and audacity Of the one who was the
responsible head of the army and
navy of the country.
1t is a pleasure for all Americans
to pause in the midst of the cam
paign fight that is of the genius of
American party politics, to give sa-
Lutte to the man who more than any
other made the winning of the war
possible-by breaking loose from the
old world traditions and giving to
every man in America his chance to
contribute ideas and service. The
picture would be tarnished by any
discussion of the exceedingly painful
and generally deplored and illbased
structures of Admiral Sims upon the
American navy, although gratitude
will be felt that the controversy has
borne this fruit of testimony to the
actual state of mind of Mr.. Wilson
toward the principal ally and the
unity of all the common cause.

HUNTING HORNETS

The Baltimore American, leading
Republican newspaper Of Maryland,
says:
"If there is any one so short in
memory as to forget the immense
satisfaction that the nation exper-
fenced i'm having the president it did
at the head of the nation during the
war era-a man with clarity of mind
and with inspiration of utterance,
and with soundness of judgment, and
with set and grim purpose to win
the war, irrespective of the formid-
ability of the foe, the exhaustion of
the Allies of the dull traditions Of
old world warfare-that one should
be made ashamed in reading the war
instructions of Mr.. Wilson to the At
lantic feet, given in person on the
flagship Pennsylvania, August IL,
1917. There is called for truce in
the political campaign, in which men
and positions are placed in the ex-
aggerated light of censure and abuse,
to pay tribute to the head of the
nation during the war without whom
the issue of that strife might have
been different. He was the American
president, and no particle of the glory
of the war epoch will be Subtracted
from the luster Of the Wilson patriot
ism by anything that may be said
as to the Wilson partisanship during
the months of the peace treaty fight.
Even here an honest and admiring
tribute is paid by an inveterate op-
ponent, Senator Borah; who expresses
his deep sense of respect for the firm
stand of the president upon his con-
victions as to the peace treaty.
"No expression of Mr.. Wilson
among the many things of vital preg-
nancy that he has uttered will last
longer than his vivid simile of the
hornets nest: We are hunting hor-
nets all over the farm and letting the
nest alone. None of US know how to
20 to the nest and crush it, and yet
/ dispair of hunting for hornets all
over the sea when ! know where the
nest is and know that the nest is
breeding hornets as fast as can find
them. / am willing, for my part, and
I know that you are willing, because
I know the stuff you are made of
am willing to sacrifice half the navy
that Great Britain and we have to
crush that nest, if necessary. If we
crush it, the war is won
Not less pregnant is the statement
that traditions must be cast to the
winds. A very strange word for the
old war-experienced and war-trad-
tions-ridden Allies of the old world!
A very remarkable attitude in the
view of the great naval power, Great
Britain! Every time we have sug-
