REMEMBER when one Of Ad-
miral Packenham's predeces.
sors. Admiral Grant. was here dur
ing the war; He lived on his flag
ship-H. M. s. Warrior. I think It
was--and Lady Grant here with
him. and they used to entertain
constantly and delightfully."- aboard
ship. Indeed. the girls looked for
ward from week to week to the
dances on the British battieship,
and at Lady Grants afternoons at
home one met as smart and repre-
sentative people as in any draw
ing room In Warrington
The good looking Lieutenant
Fellowes-G Gordon who married Miss
Sara Price-Collier. half-sister of
Warren Delano Robbins. was Ad-
miral Grants flag lieutenant. you
remember--but that. after all. is
quite another story.
A DMRAL PAcKENHAM bears
name that is exceedingly
well known in this country, for Sir
Richard Packenham was British
envoy at Washington for a mum.
Der Of years; Gen. Sir Edward
Packenham was killed in the bat
tie Of New Orleans; his nephew.
Gen. Thomas Henry Packenham.
had an American wife and General
Packehham's half brother, Colonel
Hercules Packenham, was on the
staff Of the Governor General of
Canada back In the eighties and
won the U. s. distinguished serv.
ice medal in the great war.
AZ for the Admiral, who rates
K. c. B.; K. C. G. M; K. c.: ". o.
after his name, he Is admittedly
one of the most brilliant officers
in the British navy. Through the
Russo japanese war, when he was
British naval attache at Tokyo, he
was the only foreigner who had
the entire confidence Of Admiral
Togo and the only alien aboard the
admiral's flagship at a time when
his entire plan of campaign de-
pended upon secrecy.
Indeed. at the beginning Of the
great war there was no white
naval officer who, thanks to this
remarkable experience, possessed
so much practical knowledge of
naval warfare on the large scale
under the most modern conditions
as Sir William Packenham.
His family was founded by one
of Cromwell's captains, who in
lieu of arrears Of pay received the
lands of the ancient barony Of Ban
try, in the county OF Westmeath,
where he built Packenham Hall.
which has ever since remained the
ancestral home Of the head Of the
family.
Sir william Pakenham. who is a
grandson of the second Earl Of
Longford. is a bachelor of about
sixty years OF age. very well pre-
served, devoted to all forms Of

How to Make
Strawberry: Jam
in 10 Minutes
By Ann Proctor

The finest strawberry lam yot
ever tasted-cho ( full Of the nat
ural color and q fAvor-can be madt
at home within ten minutes aftei
the berries are washed and crushed
use the "Certo Process' because
1t takes only l minutes boiling
thus saving flavor and color; nevei
fails: and is cheaper because I gel
500 more jam from the SAINT
amount Of berries.
To make ten half-pound glasses ol
Strawberry Jam:
Crush well in single layers about
two quarts Of ripe berries. usins
wooden masher and discarding al
green parts. Measure 4 cups crush
ed berries and 7h leveled cups on
lbs.) sugar into good sized preserv
Ing kettle. Mix well; stir hard and
constantly. Bring to vigorous bof
and boil hard 1 full minute, contin
ually stirring. Take from fire and
add u bottle (scant II cup) Certo
stirring II in well. Let stand s min
utes only, by the clock, stirrins
occasionally; skim and pour quicklJ
into sterilized glasses.
BY this short "Certo Process
you save all the color and flavor
that is boiled away by the old
method. Time and worry are saved
and you have lbs. of jam from (
lbs. Of berries as against 8 lbs. BY
the old method; and the cost witt
soc berries and &c sugar is only
about SC per hah-pound glass.
The above recipe and many
others for making delicious jelliei
and jams by the "Certo Process II
found in the Certo Book Of Recipes
a copy Of which will be given Il
you by your grocer when you gel
Certo. Extra copies will be sent
free II you write to the Pectir
Sales Company, Inc, 10S Eas
Avenue, Rochester, N. Y.
Use Certo this year In maxim,
all your jams and jellies. 1t savei
time, worry and boiling. The Cert,
Process" never fails and savei
money, because you make half al
much more jam from the sam,
amount of fruit; II is endorsed bI
national authorities and cooking en
perts. Jelly and jams made with
Certo keep splendidly.
IL your grocer or druggist doe,
not have Certo, please telephon,

from year to year, and he no better
off at the end of the time. AS one
item alone the city pays $3.50 for
housing the fire truck. and another
truck would add more than that
amount per month. for another truck
would doubtless be larger and would
cost more at garage. Besides this
there is no incentive for volunteer
firemen to give the fire fighting busi-
ness much consideration. This de
partment of the city must be made
attractive to the men who are willing
to fight fire for the rest of the people.
They must have a place to keep their
equipment in proper condition. and
all in one building, They should
have Il place whore they can hold
their meetings and where they can
change their clothes after fires and
care for the fire hose and other vel
liable property OF the department.
There are valuable records OF the
town which are now facing endless
danger from fire. In the new build
ing there will be fire proof vault.
There is great deal Of city property
in the way OF water meters, tools.
hose. pipe and the like which now
have no place except as best the city
employees can find here and there. All
this tends for costly waste. With
properly arranged storage room.
which the proposed building Will
have. all these things can be kept
in good condition and good care, with
q minimum of loss.
oh, Well Let's vote the bonds and
erect this city building. for tho such
an Improvement costs money, it costs
whole lot more by not having it.

Proposed Railroad
Creates Comment

The following interesting article
on the proposed railroad into Ordway
appeared in last weeks Ell Paso
County Democrat: as
What about this railroad to Ord
way? When is it to be built? Is it
bona fide proposition? Who is be-
hind it? These are only few OF
the queries that ars being hurled
hither and thither in Colorado
Springs and in those sections to the
east thru which it is claimed the line
will be constructed.
1t is doubtful if there is anyone in
the region in a position to answer all
the above questions at the present
time. Inquiries made by a represen-
tative of The Democrat in certain
communities in the eastern part of
the county and in Colorado Springs as
we'll have failed to throw any great
amount of light upon the subject.
Attic much was learned thru these
inquiries. The Democrats repre-
sentative cannot say positively that
the rail scheme is a bone fide propo-
sition, nor can he assert that it is
not Those persons with whom he
has talked were also unable to make
other in the matter, altho opinions
were expressed.
The opinion of many well-informed
persons is that tho farmers who are
being asked to sign bonus contracts
and notes would do we'll to take no
action in the matter until the entire
proposition has been thoroughly in
vestigated. If those behind the af-

1t is known that Denver man, who
claims to be connected with the Den

concern that is behind the idea) has
expressed willingness to come to
Colorado Springs this week and lay
the plans of the company before the
special Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee now investigating the proposi-

probable that the committee will be
in position to make an announce

DEPARTMENT
is PREPARED BY EXPERTS

The illustrated agricultural art
icles which appear in the New Era
from week to week are for the most
part prepared by the United States
Department of Agriculture and en-
body knowledge resulting from innu-
merable experiments. tests and devel-
opments. in some cases extending ov-
er many years, and accumulated data
OF the department, to give farmers
information which only could be pro-
vided by this branch of the govern
ment with its highly organized staff
OF scientists and practical men.
No doubt our farm readers have
read and enjoyed these articles dur
ing the winter, but with the coming
OF spring, farm information has an
added interest and value. and we
trust that any who have heretofore
overlooked one of the best depart
ments in the New Era will now make
it a point. to give it the attention it
deserves by its timeliness and pract-
ical worth.
