co.nnsration in Whale Fishing.

The Twofold bay whale hunters tell
that when the antarctic whales, on
their way to northern waters for
calving, appear off Twofold bay, with
them come the "klllers"--a fierce spe-
cies of grampus whale, which is the
great enemy of the true whale: and
that these killers have learned to herd
the whales into the bay for the hui
man hunters to deal with. Man wants
from the whale only the blubber, the
whalebone (from the roof of tho
mouth), and, when it is present the
ambergris. The rest Of the carcass
is left to be devoured 1t is said that
the killers-the same killers come
year after year to the bay-have
learned that to cooperate with man
is the easiest way to feast of whale
flesh. and so concentrate their ener-

You Look For Beauty

Beauty is human need-as much
a human need as bread and air.
Without beauty man can exist; pu'
he can scarcely live.
Without beauty life is dwarteo'
twisted, misshapen; humanity oe-
comes grabbed and miserable.
The lives into which beauty enters
are ennobled by it's inruence.
And there is beauty enough for all.
You don't need fortune to buy IT,
You couldn't buy it with the great
est fortune in the world.
You might buy pictures but unless
pictures are bought with taste they
lose their beauty.
You don't need to travel to far
countries to find beauty.
It lies all about you.
There is beauty in the humblest
home, if love rules-far more than IN
the marble palace whose atmosphere
is false and proud.
There is beauty in devotion, in SER
vice, in honesty, and it is unpurchas-
able.
There is beauty in contentment, II
it is not squalid contentment.
You can find it in the workshop, n
the street, as we'll as in the home.
Let beauty influence your life.
And to find beauty look about you

@ Come, Let Us Camp in the Open
q

Oh come let us camp in the open,
In the marge of some deep wooded isle,
Where care and convention are banished
And all the great world seems to smile
Where the wild fowl wheel swiftly above
And the furtive mink steals to the shore,
Well drink in the secrets of nature.
And grow wise in her wonderful lore 40
Oh, the raven will wake at daybreak
With his harsh and his far-reaching call,
And the waters will lull US at evening,
When the shadows have crept over all.
How We'll thrive mid the vigorous action
And bronze meath the summers sun!
To the mainland we'll swim every morning
When sparkling day has begun.
Then we'll troll down the shadowy lake-shore
To fish for the musky and pike
What thrilling sensation leaps thru one,
AT the rush of the game-fshs strike!
Oh We'll plunder the nest of the turtle
And bake luscious clans in the sand
To garner bounteous breakfast
From the fullness Of natures great hand.
And now let us range thru the woodland
To angle for trout and for bass.
Then what comfort to loter at monday,
Stretched at length the velvety grass
Then it's back to the campfire at sun-down
To bask in the embers red glare,
To sing our contentment and freedom
And mingle in rollicking air.
Ho hum! Let us take to our blankets.
By ginger, how drowsy feel!
I'm sure shall sleep like savage
And be up with the bugle's first peal.

Bisaues are made from shell-hsh,

Boil a cupful of rice in salted water |
until tender. Have ready five slices
bacon, asmall onion and a green |
pepper, which you have put through h !
the food chopper together and then J
cooked in a saucepan until slightly
brown. Beat this into the rice and
add half cupful of tomato sauce and
salt and pepper to taste. Bake about
twenty minutes in a moderate owe
and serve hot.
Modern Priscilla says that lots of
water should be allowed for cooking
rice, three quarts of water to cupful
Of rice being none too much, with a
teaspoonful of salt. The grains should
be washed thoroughly and left to drain
in a seive while the water is coming
to a boil in deep kettle and then it
should be dropped into the water, a
tablespoonful at time, so that the
boiling will not stop. Stir well to
prevent any grains sticking, cover and
turn the fire low so that boiling will
continue until tender-about twenty
minutes. When done drain rice thru
sieve. until water ceases to drip,
flush with boiling water and when that
stops draining place sieve in moder-
ate oven with the door ajar. This
leaves the rice dry ana light, each
grain separate from the rest and diff
ferent from the stocky mass so often
seen.
The same authority says that while
many people know the value of the
water drained from rice prepared ac-
cording to these directions in soups
and as starch for delicate fabrics, but
few people know that this thick rice
water makes delicious Parker House
rolls if it is substituted for the liquid
called for in the recipe. Used for
bread it acts so favorably on the yeast
that the dough in which it is used
rises in about half the time required
by that in which it is absent.
Potatoes Nance O'Neil.
Ingredients-Four large potatoes,
one egg; two tablespoonsful milk; one
level tablespoonful butter, one leve,
tablespoonful chopped parsley, graf
ing of onion; salt, pepper; four small
sausages, parboiled five minutes.
Time-Preparation and cooking, ont

Number served-Four persons.
Bake potatoes until soft. Remove
from oven, cut a slice, lengthwise,
from each potato; scoop out the in

potato add milk, butter, seasoning and
egg, beaten. Mix all together, refill
potato shells, place sausage in the

OMAHANS PLAN
Ten MS CLUB:
ASK CITY AID
Will Petition Field Club Di-
rectors to Grant Use
Of Its Courts Tenn
porariIy. ..

Omaha tennis players are plan
ming the formation of an Omaha
tennis club, devoted exclusively to
the net game.
But they are finding the row a
hard one to hoe.
Here's the situation as Billy
Adams, former Iowa state champion
and Creighton net star, puts it:
Omaha tennis men need to get
together. There should be some
one place where the more expert
enced men could meet men of
their own caliber and not have
to compete against novices, and
where newcomers could learn
the game. There should be some
real place where big tournaments
could be played; some centrally To-
Gated club of which all tennis fans
could become members at moderate
cost. The average Omaha tennis
players age is about 81 years and
he is unable to pay the price of a
membership in a regular present
day club. 1t would cost about $25,-
600 to build tennis club"
Ask Falconer's Aid.
A committee headed by Guy H.
Williams. another local net star,
sought the aid of Park Commits
siofer Tom Falconer last week.
Williams suggested that the city
Law out courts on a piece of city

property. cclling them the Omaha
Tennis club, and to collect an an
nual membership fee of $50 from
each player. 1T would mean an
income of $1,000 or $500 a year as
soon as the club is organized" said
Williams, "and the upkecp of 10
good clay courts would not be more
than $500 year"
Falconer said municipal tennis
courts must be open to all; that
the city could not restrict the use
of any city property to those who
can afford to pay $50 year for
such use. That announcement put
the committees plan high and dry
on the rocks.
Yet Another Committee.
Another committee has been Sc
lected to appear before the direc-
tors of the Field club at the next
directors meeting and petition them
to grant "tennis memberships" at
about $50 year to Omaha net fans.
The Field club courts are recog-
nized as among the best in the mid
dle-west and their location, close
to the downtown district, makes
them especially desirable. Tennis
memberships" would restrict hold
ers of such memberships to the use
of tennis courts, shower baths and
dressing rooms, according to- the
suggestions of the new committee.
