When is a Ceok-and V1hy?

COOKS In the world are men. So
cooking one Of the supposedly femi-
nine arts, reaches its highest perfec-
e'oh when 1t is practiced by q man.
The ordinary man, however. shuns
housework. Some men 60 SO far az

most women would rather slave over
stove and scrub pots and pans them
selves than to have their husba nds.
trespass on their supposedly femi!s
nine domain.
1t is interesting to see how many
men are adopts at cooking and house.
Keeping when they get . chance to
snow their ability in these lines. In
the Army many men deyelop a truly
housewifely capacity for making their
quarters homelike, and many men
work wonders with Army rations in
the way OF good things to eat,
The Australian soldier bakes his ow,
army biscuit as he needs it, For this
ne uses flour and water and baking
powder, and he mixes these insre-
dients. forms them into q cake and
bakes them on a stone, under a tin
cover. spread with hot wood ashes.
The result is palatable-and proba bly
FAR more palatable than the biscuits
that would be served at home.

If the cutting down Of trees and the
transport Of the wood into tho city
could be organized and done intelligent
~. the results would not be- 20 deplor-
able, but there are not enough trained
wood cutters in Vienna today to make
such procedure feasible. and 1t Is out
OF the question to obtain the large num-
ber Of carts and horses which would be
needed to bring wood for 1000. 900 peo-
pie into the capital. In normal times
Vienna used several hundred railway
carloads Of coal per day for its Are
places alone. OF course. much greater
quantities of wood would be needed to
replace the coal, and It is cutie inpossi-
Bile to cut these in the woods and trans
port them from the surrounding noun
tains into the city. Even IL the myriads
Of wood cutters, carts and horses could
be procured, all the streets which lead
into the city would b. entirely blocked
by the masses OF carts.
Thousands of vfcnnese men. women
and children walk into the woods. armed
with axes, and cut trees down. But a.
this Is an art which must BE- learned,
there are many accidents. in some cases

turn from n missionary visit to Tnnis
"Tunis is as good as any other
country. You get justice there as
elsewhere. In fact. the Tunisians are
proud of Tunis. They love 1t. They
prefer it to all other lands.
"a Tunisian hotel man told me a
story about a Yankee skipper who
once had to put in at Tunis, though
his destination was China. The
Tunisian collector Of the port made
the skipper pay harbor dues. This
was an injustice and therefore the
skipper laid his case before tho bey.
"The hey listened gravely, stroked
his beard and said:
Honorable Yankee. you have been
robbed. That is unquestionable. But
in Tunis whatever We get We keep.
To give back a thing is quite un-
known here
THE Yankee skipper frowned.
Don't I get justice. then" he said.

you will get Justice. my Yankee. Ev-
erybody gets justice In Tunis. But

l.. Whitney Watkins Tells Those
Present About The Detroit
Packing Co.

A meeting was called by the
Brockway and AvocaFarm Bu-
reaus at Central Hall Wednesday
night. Mr.. l.. Whitney Watkins,
of Manchester, a Director in the
Detroit Packing Company, gave
a nice talk on the different farm
organizations that he has been
connected with for a number of
years and finished by telling about
the organization, plans and pur-
poses of The Detroit Packing
Company. They have been success
full in securing seasoned experts
to manage the plant. The Presi-
dent and general manager, Mr..
Edward Dold, has had 80 years
experience in the Dold Packing
Plant at Buffalo, and when the
Detroit Packing Company is ready
to start operation, experts will be
secured from the Buffalo Plant
to manage each department.
This will establish a better
stock market in Detroit which will
ibe of great benefit to the farmers.
The share holders can also sell
direct to the plant and will be
given the preference. This will cut
out the commission man, yardage,
ETC., besides giving you a short
er haul and less shrinkage than
by shipping to Buffalo.
Mr.. Albert Tosch, of Capac,
gave a nice talk and stated his
reasons for investing in the COM
pany They have about two thous-
and share holders scattered over
the state and many more are eX-
pected to join.
Mr.. Nate Pitzer, Paisley Hotel,
is representing the company.

Crowd Smaller Than Previous
Years Owing to Wet Wealth
er and Late Crops.

On account of the wet weather
and lateness of harvest the an
nual Camp Meeting Of the Menno-
mite Brethren in Christ church
which started last evening is not
drawing as large crowd of
campers as usual. Up to the pres
ent time there are over seventy
tents pitched, while the number in
past years has been over one
hundred.
Another thing which is keeping
the campers away is the fact that
so many of the members have
autos, and can come in for the
meetings and back home for the
night.
The new tabernacle is much
larger than the one used last year
having a seating capacity of 1900,
which will accommodate the big
crowds. The seats are the folding
canvas kind, and have comfort
able backs, which will be much
better than the old plank seats.
The camp was opened last eve
ming by prayer and song service,
at 700 o'clock, followed by an
address by Rev. r. M. Dodd, presi-
dent of the conference.
The order Of service for each
day will be as follows:- -
Prayer service, 600 a. m.
Song and praise service, 8 am.
Preaching, 1000 am.
Song and praise service, 2 pm.
Preaching, 800 p. m.
Song and praise service, z pm.
Preaching, 500 p. m.
The principal speaker of the
camp will be Rev. j. A. Huffman,
of Button, Ohio. He will deliver
two sermons each day, and the
balance Of the services will be in
charge of the following ministers
who are present :-Revs. R. NJ.
Dodd, o. B. Snyder, and S. Fl.
Krutziger, Pontiac; j. S. Wood,
Port Huron; S. Douglas, Brown
City, F. A. Jones, Cass City; B.A.

troit; r. G. Morgan, Traverse
City; r. d. Dean, Pellston; n.
Herman, lowering; G. Guilliatt,

The public in general is invited
to attend these meetings and it is
hoped much good will come from
them.

his horn and a bucket brigade
soon had control of the stubble,
but wagon and rack and load of
barley was completely destroyed.
