rafsins, one-half cup of sugar. one
half cup Of water and one tablespoon
full of -four. Boil the mixture until
thick, being careful to watch it. as
it burns easily. While the paste is
cooling make the cooky dough by

For a Birthday Cake.

When making a birthday cake. it is
we'll to know how to put the candles
on so as not to spoil the cake by the
drippings of wax. To avoid this trouble.
take a large sheet of stiff pasteboard,
draw circle as large as the cake, then,
with the same point as center, cut
one with diameter an inch or two
longer. Cut out a larger circle, then
cut out an inner circle and slip over
the cake. Cover the pasteboard with
dainty tissue paper. or tint with water
colors or, better still. cover it with
smilax, so that the board does not
show at all At regular intervals make
holes in the pasteboard. and slip the
candles into them. The circle Of lighted
candles above the green wreath is far
prettier than the candles burning on the
cake, and can burn on undisturbed until
the cake is cut one candle must be ex-
tinguished as each slice Of the cake is
served.

To Clean Linoleum.

Linoleum, when new. shows every
mark. but this condition improves
with time. To clean it. sweep it first
with a hair broom to get rid of all
dust, then wash it with warm water
flannel. and not a scrubbing brush
only doing a portion at a time, and
rubbing the part dry with a dry
flannel at once, finally polishing with
a cloth dipped in milk. Occasionally
linoleum may be rubbed over with a
cloth dipped in kerosene. but there
must be thorough draft through the
room afterwards to remove the smell.
If very dirty. little washing soda
may occasionally be added to the
water. 1t is better to wash a floor
covering Of this kind as seldom as
possible, as dampness causes limo
leum to wear out. If rubbed with a
dry flannel. this will often remove
marks

~OLD TIMER" SAYS GERMANY
MUST PAY INDEMNITY.
Believes Cotton Market Would Be
Opened Up If the Allies En-
force Reparation Demands

Dear Mr.. Editor 1T has been
sometime since the writer had the
pleasure of contributing to your
columns, but he was prevented by
illness. At one time it looked as If
you would be deprived Of the benefit
Of his aid and council and would
have to manage the affairs of the
country as best you could.
The farmers are having a tough
time. We had spring in the winter,
and now we are having winter in the
spring. We have planted cotton twice
and corn three times, and still have
onthing to brag about. If the writer
remembers rightly he read a good
many articles and heard much talk
about reduction of cotton acreage.
Well, Mr.. Editor, it sure is reduced
see hayd times and dull business this
fen. The gravel road is nearly COM
pIeted from Vidalia to the Tensas
outlook the farmers will use this road
but little to haul produce to market.
The writer has never held with the
reduction Of acreage. If, by Sept. 1,
the affairs OF Europe are put in shape
and a plan set on foot by which our
cotton can be shipped on tand sold
to the nations that need it, there will
no be half enough cotton to supply
he demand. II his plan is not put in
operation, the surplus from last
years cary-over viii be twice too
much. We had better plant no cot
ton and try to make corn enough for
next years crop. 1t is folly to talk
about raising corn to sell. If it costs
SO cents q bnshei to raise it and so
cents bushel to Ship it and you sell
for so cents bushel you viii not be-
come rapidly rich. All this sounds
well, but does not mean anything.
England, America and Italy had best
let France send her troops into Ger
many and collect the indemnity at
the point Of the bayonet. The French
people remember, only too well, their
other war with Bismark, who had the
whole peace terms written out, before
Bazaine surrendered, and with Won
Moltke and the Prussian bayonets to
back Bismark's decree, the French
could only say: yves sir" and mo
sir.D Just as Bismark wanted them
to do. Oh Mr.. Editor. what COZ
losaI blunder the armistice was! Mar
shall Foch should have led the Allied
armies into Germany, devastated the

ed the peace terms from the ruins of
Berlin. Talk about peace without

JUSTICE SHOULD BE GIVEN
WHERE JUSTICE is DUE.
Grand Jury Sits In -Four Days Se'-
sion investigating Conduct
Police Jury. Good Report.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish
the full report of the Grand jury
which sat in a four days session IN
Vidalia this week, investigating all
alleged attractions of the law, and
from the diigert search they made In
to all reports. it may be accepted tnaI
all irregularities were properly look
ed into and proper report mace.
There seems to be considerable
unfavorabIe sentiment in the parish
on the manner in which teh Police
Jury has been conducting the bello-
inc of the model roads. and various
ALLEGATIONS of Pm unkind nature were
made against the President, Hon. b.
G. Brown. The Grand Jury was IN
formed that Mr.. Brown had written
A letter to some gravel company I'M
nlving that for some consideration,
he (Mr. Brown could land them
contract for supplying the Parisn
with gravel; whereupon. the Grand
Jury searched the statement to the
very ground. and it proved to be
matter of hearsay and absolutely
without foundation. We mention TINS
in Justice to Mr.. Brown, who has been
the victim of such unfortunate crr
cism. in order that the people may
know that the report has been found
positively untrue, and without foun-
dalton. :,
Mr.. Brown has served as President
of the Police Jury in a most distin-
guishable manner, and has really &C
complished the securing of model
gravel roads for the parish. He has
given of his time and even money in
the building of that splendid system
of roads of which our parish will
soon be Justly proud, and Mr.. Brown
will then receive the thanks of all our
citizens for his unselfish devotion to
the project. The Grand Jury has
searched well and found absolutely
nothing in his conduct which is in
anv way questionable, and we think
he should be highly praised rather
than uniustly criticised for things
he did rot do.
The Sentinel desires to serve for
the cause Of justice, and is glad Of
the opportunity Of bringing before
the people the facts in this case. We
fear the favor or prejudice OF no
one in standing for right, and respect
fully tender our view of the situation
and sincerely trust that those who
have been misinformed as to Mr..
Browns conduct of the affairs Of the
Police Jury, viii acquaint themsel-
yes with them, and give proper credit
where credit is due.
We base our opinion solely upon
the action of the Grand Jury. Ac-
eusations of misconduct in Office must
be based on facts. Until such facts
are proven we have no right to say
mean things about others. The Police !
Jury has stood the fire of investiga- !
tion and has come out with flying /
eolcrs. We congratulate them.
