SHOULD EAT MORE CABBAGE
Diet Experts of Cornel's College Of
Agriculture Recommend 1t az
Article Of Agriculture.

Experts at Cornell's college Of ag-
riculture at Ithaca, n. Y, urge a wild
er use Of cabbage, asserting that this
s~ucculent vegetable should be more
generally included in the diet. 1t Is
rich In iron and other mineral salts
growth-promoting substance. Cabbage
Is eaten much more by the Spanish,
French and Italian races than by
Americans, largely because Americans
do not know how to cook 1t, 1t is con-
tended.
Cabbage" says a statement from
the college Of agriculture plunged in
to boiling sailed water, and cooked
uncovered for 20 minutes, no longer,
will be a delicate light green color,
tender and easily dlgested. Long cook.
Ing, In a tightly-covered kettle, pro-
duces a dark, brownish mess In which
chemical changes have taken place
that make 1t almost indigestible.
FOOD specialists at Cornell suggest
boiled cabbage served with lamb, NUT
ton or beef, e%scalloped cabbage with
cheese sauce, fried cabbage with
minced onion, cabbage cooked in milk
and water, or baked with hamburg
or frankfurters, lady cabbage, sweet
or sour cabbage, or filled cabbages.
Recipes for these dishes are found In
most cook books.
For salads, cabbage gives an al
most endless variety; with apple and
onion, or with onion, celery or car
away seed, with green peppers, to-
matoes, carrots, salmon, shrimp or
even pineapple shredded cabbage
makes an excellent combination. In
general, cabbage salads are best served
with a boiled dressing"

DELIGHTS OF LIFE IN LONDON
Fog Frequently So Thick That tho
Strongest Artificial Light
Cannot Pierce II.

The worst fog in 20 years was ex
perienced in London when 100000
tons of SCOT were suspended in the at
mosphere in which 100000 people at
tempted to live, work, and worst Of
all, to get about, a short time ago.
The possibility Of reaching ones
destination was ascertained only by
the laws of probability and chance.
Fire engines called by duty went
through the pitch-black streets pre-
coded by a mar on foot with a lam
tern. Buses adopted the lesson Of the
wagon trains that crossed the Western
plains during the gold rush and trav-
eled in conveys Of nine or ten, also led
by a man on foot with q light. The
busy traffic centers were marked by
from four to ten huge acetylene
torches which pierced the surround
ing darkness for not more than fifteen
feet. Accidents were innumerable.
Prince Henry attempted to motor from
London to Whittlebury for a hunting
engagement, and after narrowly es-
Gaping two collisions then decided to
spend the night at a halfway house.
A freakiSh incident occurred when
two women, lost within two squares Of
home, were directed by a blind veteran
whose misfortune made him imper-
vious to fogs In a district he knew by
heart.

The weather during the past week
has been a record breaker for peculiar
ity. Tuesday night about midnight n
violent thunderstorm visited the COM
munity with lightning flashes and
thunder crashes equal in every respect
to a summer storm. Instead of a
downpour Of rain, a downpour of ice
and snow accompanied the electrical
disturbance. The weather "Wednesday
was quite mild until in the afternoon
when a heavy snowfall begain. The
thermometer dropped, accompanied by
a cold wind from the northwest. Train
service last night was abandoned and
no trains are expected today. The
snowfall Tuesday night was much
heavier west of here. The Wednesday
morning passenger from the west left
Huron practically on time but became
hopelessly stuck in a snow drift near
De Smet. At the present time all of
the roads are seriously blockadad.

If the favorable one also is theirs and
they can retain for themselves a part
of the service charges that are uni
form, in good years and bad, with
high prices and low.
While, in the main, the farmer must
sell, regardless Of market conditions,
at the time Of the maturity Of crops,
he cannot suspend production in toto.
He must go on producing If he Is to go
on living, and If the world is to exist.
The most he can do Is to curtail pro-
duction a little or alter it's form, and
th~at-because he is in the dark as to
the probable demand for his goods
may be only to jump from the frying
pan into the fire, taking the consumer
with him.
Even the dairy farmers, whose out
put is not seasonal, complain that they
find themselves at a disadvantage in
the marketing Of their productions,
especially raw milk, because OF the
high costs Of distribution, which they
must ultimately bear.

eral good than in the case Of other
Industries. The spirit Of American
democracy is unalterably opposed,
alike to enacted special privilege and
to the special privilege Of unequal op-
portunity that arises automatically
from tho failure to correct glaring
economic inequalities. l an opposed
to the injection Of government into
business, but l do believe that it Is an
essential function Of democratic gov
eminent to equalize opportunity so
far as it Is within it's power to do so,
whether by the repeal OF archaic
statutes or the enactment OF modern
mes. If the antitrust laws keep the
farmers from e~ndeavoring scientifically
to integrate their industry while other
Industries find a way to meet modern
conditions without violating such stat
utes. then 1t would seem reasonable
to find a way for the farmers to meet
them under the same conditions. The
law should operate equally in fact. Re-
pairing the economic structure on n
side is no injustice to the other side,
which Is in good repair.
We have Travelled a long way from
the old conception Of government as
merely a defensive and policing agency
and regulative, corrective, or equaliz-
Ing legislation, which apparently is Of
a special nature, is often Of the most
general beneficial consequences. Even
the First Congress passed a tariff act
that was avOwedly for the protection
Of manufacturers; but a protective
tariff always has been defended az a
means Of promoting the general good
through a particular approach; n
the statute books are filled with acts
for the benefit Of shipping, commerce,
and labor.

INTERESTED IN eUcKWHEAT

That South Dakota farmers are
more or less interested in buckwheat
culture is evidenced by the fact that
many inquiries concerning this crop
are received each year by the State
college agronomy department.
Buckwheat, according to DR.. Arthur
T.. Evans. associate professor Of agro-
nomy, is a valuable crop but is not
widely raised in the state. There are
two common varities, the Silver Hull
and Japanese. The former has a
light colorcd seed and is a smaller
plant than the Japanese which he's a
brown to black seed.
Ordinarily. he says, buckwheat will
do better under cool moist conditions
but the long period Of Towering as

a few plants which do well on poo
or stony soil. A crop will be pre-
duced there when other crops woul,
not thrive. 1t does equally well o.

This crop is generally planted dul

QUEER "HUMOR" AT WEDDINGS

In parts of the Scottish highlands

ceremony called 'creeling the bride

take the bridegroom in hand. They
tie on his back a creel or basket and
fill 1t with stones. Then he is forced
to walk with his heavy burden through
the entire community, followed by men
to see that he does not drop the creel,
even for an instant. The bride can
ransom him by coming u on the
street and kissing him In public, but
If she Is a shy person the bridegroom

basket of stones. The ordeal Is made
worse for the man because the con-
ductor of the ceremony is the last
person previously married, and he
naturally takes revenge by making the

High School Dean Attacks
 Longer Day

Miss Margaret Kiely, dean of the High school. before an audience of members of the Federation of Parent Teachers associations of the city gathered in the parish house of the United church, spoke against the pro- posed 1engthening of the school day and school year. She is presid ent of the Teachers Association and repre- sented roc instructors of the local schools.
 She said that the Teachers associa- tion does not favor the project and child's health and happiness" In the winter, it will be dark before the children reach their homes and too early to get up in the morning, if school was started earlier" she said
 Tt is a falIacy to believe that more time means more learning" Miss kiely declared" The High school would be hit the hardest" she said.
 It would mean that any teacher would have to be on active duty from o'clock in the morning until 4:5o in the afternoon and there is no place for either the child or teacher to rest, she further declared.
 The poor children will suffer great test" Miss hiely said, because children of the rich are taken from school long before it closes, while the poorer children are obliged to re- main until school closes. It will also be hard on the teacher, Miss kiely declared, because she must constantly be on her feet and must constantly be talking and giving out her per sonaiity. More schools will solve the solution, she said. The plan Is in experiment, Miss Kiely said, and it seems unfair to make the teacher or child suffer for the sake of an experi- ment,'' she concluded.
 Mrs. Thomas Cutting, member of the Board of Education, also spoke. She said that the plan was not an experiment but that it had been tried in the middle west with success there because the climate is dry. She de- clared herself against the proposed longer school day and year plan. The took no definite stand An nual reports of the association were read and the following officers elect ed:
