OF YELLOWSTONE
Secretary Fall Makes Adver$
Report on Measure for:
Irrigation Project. +!
WANTS TO SAVE PARk
Favors Grants Only in Special Cas-
and Then Under Strict Gov
eminent Control.

Secretary Fall of the Interior ne
partment has made an adverse q
port on a bill introduced by Senafn
Walsh of Montana, proposing to 4,
thorize the state of Montana, or q
rigation districts authorized by d
state, to build a dam across Yellok
stone river at a point not more tft
three miles below the outlet of Lax
Yellowstone for the regulation of th
waters of the lake for irrigation pdr
poses.
The Walsh bill had been refers
to the Senate committee on irrigatb
and reclamation of arid lands. @
which Senator McNsry of oregon si
chairman. The proposed contructb
would be within the limits of q
Yellowstone National Park. .
Cannot Favor Measure.
In his adverse report on the II
Secretary Fall said:
II cannot favor the enactment &
would be advisable for Congress Z
permit private interests to devep
irrigation or power sites within 9,
limits of existing national park
These parks were created by Con
gress for the preservation OF al
scenery, forests and other objects <
beauty and interest in their natufs
conditions and they are created an
maintained for general and nations
purposes as contradistinguished frel
local developments.
IF cases be found where it is nsa
essary and advisable in the pun
interest to develop power and irf
cation possibilities in national park
and il can be done without interfel
eLce with the purposes of their cre<
tion. l am of the opinion that
should only be permitted to be doa
whether through the use OF priva'
or public funds. on specific authori3s
ton by Congress. the work TO {
constructed and controlled by the fedef
government"
Opposed in Many Quarters
The Walsh bill has been vigorouSl
opposed by the National Parks AsSt
ciation and by numerous other persQ
and organizations desiring to maintAl
the national parks and to presef,
them in their original condition and
prevent commerciaIizat tion of their q
sources.
The suggestion was made today thd
Senator Walsh might seek to amen
his bill so as to permit the propose
Developments to be made by the fet
eral government with the idea that
might then conform to the views q
Secretary Fall. However. the Sectf
tary might still hold. as do opponest
of the bill, that the proposed devel0I
ment would injure the natural bea1t
of the parks. and again report adverSe
ly. The opinion was expressed at n
Capitol today that the proposed legs
lation has no chance OF being enacte
into law.

The next thing he knew the pie was
being carried by his mother and father to
the diningroom and he heard all the
guests exclaim: "Oh. what beautiful

But the next thing he heard made him
tremble so he wae sure the pie must be
shaking for hia father began Ia sharpen
the knife with which he WAS to cut the
wonderful pie
You must make il very sharp" he
heard his mother say, because the crust
must he cut right through and not
broken
Tim began to tremble more and then hiH
father put the knife on the top crust and
poor Tim could stand no more
Up he jumped. right through the top
crust, and frightened the guests almost
out of their senses; but he did not frighten
his mother. for no sooner had Tim showed
his head than Mrs. Squirrel grabbed him
and out into the kitchen che marched
poor Tim, trembling more than he had in
side the pie

nice nut PIE, did you; YOU greedy boy,

WHY =?
WHY no TREES GROW urwARpt
Copyright. 1920. by
wheeler Syndicate, Inc.

II we could watch the processes
which go on after an acorn, or any
other tree-seed. has been planted, we
would Rnd that there are certain cells
in this seed that produce the part OF
the tree which ia TO live in the air and
the light Wherever the light is, that
part of the tree will grow toward IL,
struggling upward through the Sur
rounding earth until n reaches the
surface and is enabled TO fulfil its nat
urai function.
On the other hand, there are aiso
certain cells which aree meant to form
ground, the roots and a portion of the
trunk, These strike downward and
outward drawing sustenance from he
earth and at the same time providing a
firm foundation or support for the
heavy structure above.
If we take a buih--which is only
different kind of scotland plant IL
with the pointed end downward we will
find that this portion OF the plant will
work its way around as il grows. in
order TO insure light and pure air for the
shoots. while the roots which spring
from the rounded portion will do their
best to plunge downward The result
will be a somewhat distorted specimen.
rather unhealthy because OF the trouble
II has had in following the prescribed
course of nature, but an example OF
the way in which the two portions of
the seed or bulb strive to achieve their
own destinies.

GREEDY TIM.


Greedy Tim WAS little squirrel and
one day he overheard his mother saying
she was going to give big dinne. soon
and must begin To get the cakes md pies
and things ready at once.
The finest thing that Mrs Squirrel
was to give her guests was huge potpie--
a pie so big that it would take two of the
family TO place on the table
Greedy Tim dearly loved nut pie and
he watched his mother make it with great
longing TO have piece, but his mother
told him it was for the party and thnt sh c
would bake him little pie all for himself.
This Greedy Tim did not want at all he
wanted a big piece of the company pie.
The night of the party Tim went TO
bed early, as all little squirrels should
do, but he did not go to sleep. Instead
he stole down the back stairs and into
the pantry and jumped up on the shelf
where the big pie stood
He did not cut the pie; he nibblcd nj
the underorust until he had q hole made
big enough for him TO get inside and then
he began to cat He had not eaten very
much though. before he heard sound
someone was coming and Tim kept very
still inside the pie.

Eat MORE CELERY.

Celery Is one Of our accepted winter
vegetables, and because of It's crisp
freshness most of us consider IL one
OF the most tempting. Even without
hothouses we can have winter celery
quite as easily as we can have turnips
or cabbage. and celery has the tre-
mendous advantage over turnips and
cabbage, carrots and onions of pos
sessing all the delicacy of flavor that
we usually associate with succulent
summer vegetables
Celery, in spite of its crisp freshness,
is never better than when IL is cooked
and the resourceful housekeeper will
plan TO serve II in some cooked form
coca sionally. The outer stalks are quite
as tender as need be when they are
cooked SO that the heart section can
always be saved for salad or appetizer.
Celery croquettes are delicious ac-
compartments to the meat course. To
make them cut the celery in two-inch
lengths and boil IL until IL iss tender.
Drain it. dip il in a thick white sauce.
then dip IL in beaten egg, roll ii in
bread crumbs and fry IL brown in
deep fat.
Braised celery is prepared in this
way. Cut IL in two-inch lengths. and
simmer it gently in stock until it is
tender. Add a little strained tomato
juice 10 the gravy and pour 1t over
the celery.
Celery au gratin is prepared by boil
ing celery. draining It, putting 1t in
a deep buttered dish. covering II with
cream sauce. grated cheese and crumbs

To fry celery cut cold. boiled celery
in convenient lengths and fry them in
