Can Hook the FIivver Now.

The latest thing in pawnshops is
one for motorcars. Heretofore pawn
shops have been reserved for the class
that want to put up their watch or
dress suit, but now, with so many
workingmen owning flivvers, those who
are on the inside Of the pawning busi-
ness decided that a similar institution
for motor cars would be had.
The motorcar pawnshop is located
near Columbus Circle, in the heart Of
"Gasoline Row." Here, when the mo-
tor owner is short Of ready money,
he may drive his "fliv" and place II
In "hock." If he fails to pay back
the loan with interest the car Is sold
as second hand. All In all, 1t Is said
to be the most profitable business for
these pioneers in the pawnbroking
line, and they always have hundred
or more cars of all kinds and condi-
tions on hand.-New York Sun.

BRIDE OBsCURES THE GROOM
Louisiana Court HIS SoIernly Held
That the Man Does Not Attract
ANY Attention.

1t IS at last judicially determined
that the groom at a wedding Is merely
a necessary incident, accessory, or
piece of furniture. The bride is the
whole cast. In a divorce action IN
Louisiana. in which defendant denied
he was the man who had married
plaintiff, and his identity with the
bridegroom was In issue, the court
says:
1.-THE only evidence introduced by
the defendant in support Of his de-
NAL that it was he who married plain
tiff in Indianapolis on OAtober D.
1911, was the testimony of the Pro-
bate Judge who performed the cere-
mony and that of the proprietor Of the
Imperial hotel. The Probate judge
and the proprietor Of the Imperial
hotel both testified that they had idcn-
tilted the plaintiff as soon as she had
spoken to them when they stepped
off the train in New Orleans; and
from that circumstance, counsel for
defendant argue that the Probate
Judge and the proprietor Of the hotel
would surely have been able to identi'
fy the defendant If he were the In
dividual to whom plaintiff was mar
ried by the judge in presence Of the
hotel proprietor. We do not think So
With due respect for his honor. the
Probate judge, and for the proprietor
Of the Imperial hotel, 1t may be that

PULLMAN RATES roo HIGH

I the country, Senator Dial has writ
ten letter to, the Interstate Com
inerse Commission protesting
against these excessive rates and
asking if something cannot be done
to reduce them. In this letter he
called attention to the fact that a
total increase of 70 per cent had
been allowed within the last year,
20 per cent of this going into effect
in May 1920, and the remaining SO
per cent n August 1920. This letter
follows: ,.

GARDEN INSECTS

Clemson College, March 29.-ln
controlling garden insects. there are
two principal insecticides, suggests
Prof. A. F. Conradi, chief of the
entomology division. One of these
is arsenate of lead, which is poison
used for the chewing insects such as
potato beetles and cabbage worms.
The other is nicotine sulphate, which
is recommended for plant lice. 1t is
we'll to keep these two insecticides
on hand. The arsenate of lead is
purchased as dry white powder,
and should not be more than .7o of
/ percent water soluable. 1t may be
used by dusting it in the morning
when the plants are wet with dew
at the rate Of l to 2 pounds per
acre, or it may be sprayed by adding
one ounce of arsenate of lead to an
ordinary 2 1-2 gallon pail Of water.
It should be remembered that be-
fore adding arsenate of lead, Paris
green, calcium arsenate, or ny 9TH
er powder to water, a little water
should first be added and stirred
into a paste. Those who desire to
make up larger amounts for spray
ing should write for Extension Cir
cular II.
Nicotine sulphate is a conceH-
trated tobacco liquiF and the spray
is made by adding teaspoonful OF
nicotine sulphate to an ordinary 2
1-2 gallon of water.
Soap suds, made from a piece OF
common soap about cubic inch in
size and added to the nicotine spray
will improve it. Soap containing
coal tar or naphtha should never be
used.

Old PapaI Palace Restored.

The ancient castle of Avignon, near

EAGLE PLUMEs no MORE
From the New York Sun

The last word IN style Tor the In
dians of the Southwest is turkey fea
theirs. The Hopis, Navajos and ether
tribes of that region are now wear
ing the plumes of the Thanksgiving
and Christmas fowl. Eagle feathers
the wearing of whic his decreed by
every precedent and tribal law, are
virtually unobtainable and the, tribes
have taken to turkey feathers.
Since the turkey was selected for
this honor it has been exalted to the
rank Of a sacred bird. Woe betide
the Indian who takes the life of the
blessed turkey, which are now to be
seen scampering up and down the
streets of the Indian villages.
If an eagle is caught here it is
carefully tied by one leg and anchor
ed on the roof of the chiefs hut and
denuded of feathers.
Feathers are Sacred to Indian
Feathers have an intense religious
significance for Indians, and are
valued for this far more than for
their value as ornaments. To a Hopi,
a feather is tantamount to a prayer,
and the use of one or two feathers
in his prayer is considered sufficient
to insure favorable reply.
When an Indian desires something
urgently he will tie a feather to a
stick and conceal it in a shrine
which he himself has constructed.
This is. considered extremely efica-
cious. Small, fluffy feathers dang
ling from the ceilings of huts by
strings are common sights. They
represent prayers for trifles. Indi-
ans are always careful to keep a
stock of feathers on hand, so that
they will not be aught empty handed
when an occasion for prayer arises.
Feathers Worn By Knights, Too
However, it is pertty certain that
| the custom Of knights and cavaliers
of wearing feathers did not. come
from the Indians. Il. the fourteenth
century in the reign of Edward II
it is set down that knights wore on
their shoulders ornaments called
"ailettes" or little wings.
All the men of that generation and
those that Immediately succeeded it
wore plumes of ostrich feathers.
These feather ornaments were worn
on the left side that the right or
sword arm should be free from hin
drance. Peacock feathers were
abandoned because their eyes were
considered harbinger Of bad luck.
One chronicler writes that the men
wore Feathers of preposterous
size"
Reports of the nineteenth century
speak of carriage hats trimmed with
rose colored feathers and of Others
which employed cocks feathers as
trimming.

BroiIed Fish.-Broiling over Goals or
under the gas flame until brown is a
~favorite way of preparing the smaller
fish. Fresh fish of one to two pounds
size, or smoked fish, such as finnan
haddie or white fish, are delicious
served in this way.
Wash the fish, split, season, dot with
fat, place on a creased broiler and
broil until the fakes can be easily sep
arated. If a gas broiler is used, place
the rack several inches below the flame
and brown. Sliced lemon makes an at
tractive garnish and gives additional
flavor and food value.
Boiled Fish.-Boiled fish is easily
prepared and, when served with a
w-ell-seasoned sauce, is delicious.
pieces. Cover with boiling sailed wa
ter, but do not allow it to boil rapidly,
as hard boiling breaks the fish. Cook
for ten minutes per pound. Strong
favored fish, such as carp, is improved
by adding a half cupful of vinegar to
the cooking water.
Baked Fish.-Use. the whole fish or
a piece from the middle of a large one.
If desired, stuff with mashed pota-
toes, cooked rice, or bread crumbs well
seasoned. Cut gashes down the back
and insert strips of salt pork or dot
with fat. Dredge with fine corn meal
or flour, place in a baking pan and
cook till tender, allowing ten to twelve
minutes a pound. Sometimes fish is
baked in a tomato or in milk
enough to cover the bottom of the
pan.
Fried Fish.-Small fish may be fried
whole larger one should be cut into
pieces suitable for serving. Roll the
fish in corn meal Or flour, or dip it in
batter, or in bread crumbs, egg, and
again In crumbs. Fry in deep fat, or
in a small amount of fat in a skillet.
Fish fried in deep fat is less likely to
be greasy than when fried in a pan.

prepared by the United. States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Many families during the war
formed the habit of having two or
three fish days a week and som of
them have kept it up ever since. Many
others, if they tried it. would find that
the use of more fish adds pleasant
variety to the meals.
America has as good a fish supply as
any country in the world, say food spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, but Americans
eat less fish than the people of many
other countries. For instance, in Eng
land an average of 65 pounds of fish
yearly for each person is eaten, while
here the average is only IS pounds.
All told, there are said to be about
100 kinds of edible fish available in
the United States, but most persons
are familiar with not more than a
dozen. 1t is a good plan to try new
kinds of fish whenever there is an OPP
portunity and, if they are not avail
able in the local market, to suggest to
Lit hSillldl lldl lie duu IU6m 10 Ills
supply. Also, If fresh fish cannot be
obtained, many kinds of salt, smoked
and canned fish can be shipped any
where at any season of the year.
How to Select a Fresh Fish.
Whenever possible, it is best to go to
the market and select fish. A fresh
fish has full, bright eyes bright red
gills, firm flesh and a fresh odor. The
flesh along the backbone should be ex-
amined with special care, because that
is where a fish spoils first.
Frozen fish should be bought in that
condition and thawed in a cool place
just before cooking. Much of the pref
udfce against frozen fish has come
from the fact that 1t was thawed out
some time before it was sold. Fish
does not change In flavor and food
value so long as 1t remains frozen, but
1t spoils very quickly after 1t is
thawed.

Dear Brother Horace:

Dear Brother Horace:
have been trying to find time to write to you folks
all summer, but it certainly keeps the whole lot of us on the
jump. We used to have some spare time between seed
ing and harvest, and sometimes it lasted clear over until
the next seeding. But since we put in quite a field of corn
and have more stock to make hay for and a big garden and
potato patch to tend there amt no such animal as a loaf
ing season on this ranch. They say when a fellows busy
he's happy and we have plenty of cause to be both of them
this year. We haven't threshed but a little of ours yet but
Websters, who join us on the south, and whose wheat
never looked a bit better than ours, threshed out PIP bu-
shells off 80 acres-Or a trihe to the good of 27 bu- per acre.
Now, Horace, this country has a really great crop and
the stories about yields you find in the Wolf Point Heralds
Ihave been sending you are reliable reports. A lot of them
| know about myself. And wheat is not all we have.
Other small grains and flax are all good to fine and corn is
a whale of a crop for this latitude. 1t is getting so corn
never fails here.
Now | want you to come out here and bring the wife
along and make us a visit and see for yourself what we
have produced this year. You say you have a chance to
turn over your farm contract with only a small loss and |
believe after you have seen this country you will be ready
to do it and buy three times as much land here for the part
you paid down there and have no mortgage and interest
to keep you awake. This country amt perfect and has been
through a tough siege but we are over the worst of it now.
Those eastern guys will begin to take notice of SIS land
that yields $50 worth of crop. | am not much on the write
but am sending another Herald which is the best booster
| know of. Now don't make excuses but just climb on the
cars and come. Our folks are all fine and dandy and hope
yours are the same.
With best regards,
JOHN.
