FISH RECIPES
 With Lent coming on apace Lenten dishes of all sorts are needed. Fish comes first to mind and is an excel lent food for the changing weather,
 From dictetic standpoint the lighter diet of meat is desirable as spring comes on.
 Any sort of the so-called greens combines well with fish. A fruit salad followed by q cheese course or fruit dessert with simple salad Of lettuce or cabbage finishes a fish dinner satisfactorily.
 Keep in mind that fish is a protein food and must be cooked at low temperature after the cells arc sealed.

Mrs. Bird Made the Travellers Feel At Home

As Mrs. Bird finished her ultima tum to naughty screaming little Rod erick Harriet Braithwaite shook my restraining hand from her arm and started toward the kitchen door Of the house she had just entered. That she shared my conviction, that the punishment Mrs. Bird had threatened was eminently deserved by the small culprit 1 was as sure as I was that she would employ the same meas ures under similar circumstances. But my sister-in-law possessed the type of mind belonging, alas, to many women, which has a blind eye for justice when the discipline of chil- dren is in question. Settle the others, but don't dare to punish MY child" This is the mental motto, often blatantly expressed, with which teachers and other authorities are only too familiar in this modern day when ''self-eXpression" has usurped the place held by the old gods Of self-control and respect for the rights of others.
 Harriet :" Her husbands deep voice sounded with a note l never had heard in it. That it was new to his wife also l guessed when she stopped abruptly and turned a startled face to his. now bending above her, for he had taken two quick strides after her. He put his hand upon her arm as l had done. but I guessed that she would not find it as easy to break away from his grasp as to elude mine.
 ''What''-she began. but nc gave her no chance to finish.
 You must not interfere" he said. You can tell by the woman's voice that she will not hurt the child and Itodcrick needs suppressing. It he does not learn to keep still he may cndanger this whole expedition at some inopportune moment. Besides, We must not offend this woman now. eh, Madgc?"

 Our colloquy had been carried on in low tone, almost a whisper, and it was cut short by the sound Of Rodericks voice. subdued but with an irrepre-,ible note Of hope in it.
 "Yes, see that soap" he an- swered evidently considering that he would better take Mrs. Birds ques- tons in successive order. And I know about it. My mother used to wash my mouth out when called people names. I'm going to be good, not jump or slide or call names. May have another cookie?
 Edwin gave an irreprossiblo snort of amused masculine appreciation, while I ggged outright, and even Harriets sulky dignifed mouth twitehed into q smile.
 "Yos. after you have sat still on that chair for a little while and made very sure that you are going 10 keep your promises" Mrs. Bird replied with hrmnnss. but we in the sitting room caught the amuse- ment in her voice. and were not sur prised to see q smile upon the lips Of our da intless little hostess, when, after hurried low command to the other children to remain in the kitchen with Rodcrick, but not to

Win From Memphis

The Poca Iii football team won their
Thanksgiving game of football, when
they defeated the BickfOrd Park AssO-
citation team Of Memphis, Tenn, on
the local field. The largest crowd of
the season turned out to see the con
test.
The first score came early in
the game after the locals had carried
the ball down the field to the Memphis
thirty-yard line. A criss cross end run
carried the ball over. Goal was miss
ed. POca again scored in the second
half A long pass carried the ball to
the Memphis four-yard line. Capt
ThrogmOrtOn of the locals was called
back from tackle and carried the ball
over through left guard, Lester and
Traw opening the hole for him. The
third touchdown came i'm the last quar-.
ter. A series of end runs had advanc-
ed the ball to the Memphis twenty-yard
line and Blankenship. Poca quarter,
carried II around right end and over
the line.
The visitors were husky youngsters
and fast on foot. Their defensive play
ing was excellent but on Offense they
lacked the teamwork necessary to make
many advances. Their chief plays
were directed at the center of POca's
line, but they were unable to open
holes for many gains.
POca missed four or five chances to
score when long forward passes were
muffed. The visitors threatened to
score in the last minute of the game
when they intercepted Poca pass and
carried the ball to the POca fve-yurd
line, where they lost the hall on a
tumble.

ASK GOVERNMENT AID
AGAINST 0YERFLOWS

That the handling of the flood wa
terS of Black and other rivers i'm South
east Missouri is an interstate problem
has been generally recognized for som
time by those who have grappled with
the situation. Looking to legislation
which would admit of dealing with the
condition as an interstate problem
Dwight H. Brown of this city, senator
elect, is going into the situation look
ing to introduction of a possible bill
dealing with the case.
The st. Louis POst-Dispatch carried
the following story by Curtis Belts:
A treaty between the states of Mis-
souri, and Arkansas, sanctioned by the
Federal government and providing for
Government aid in the protection Of
Southeast Missouri and Eastern Ar
kansas lOwlands from floods will he
proposed in the Missouri Legislature
in January by Dwight II. Brown, Sen
atOr-elect from the Twenty-first Dis
trict.
On the theory that it is as much
the duty of the National Government
to take the water from Overflowed
lands that they may be made avail
able for cultivation as it is to provide
, irrigation for desert lands of the West.
Brown is preparing plan of state
treaty and Government aid. He said
today he expected to ask legislative
authorization for preliminary steps
leading to a workable plan.
Eight Southeast Missouri counties
and the counties along the eastern
edge of Arkansas receive the flood wa
ters from half a dozen streams flow
ing from the eastern slope of the
Ozarks. In spring months these
streams carry an immense volume of
J water to the Mississippi river, fire.
quently overlooking large areas of
land and causing damage. They swell
the Mississippi and often threaten the
levees.
Z Through bond issues the Southeast
Missouri counties have dug drainage
bitches and virtually all of that sec
tiOn of the State, once a dismal swamp,
is now highly productive farm land.
The effect of this has been to increase
the danger to Arkansas land, for the
large area in Missouri that as a
swamp formerly took care of the water
flowing into it and permitted it to
reach the Mississippi gradually now
through its drainage bitches rushes the
water into the river.
/ Browns idea is that through joint
state action, with financial aid from
the Government, there should be CON
structed several storage basins for
food waters back i'm the Ozark hills.
He expressed the opinion that there
was a possibility of the development
! through this means of a considerable
hydrO-electric power. and that in ad-
ditiOn the water could be controlled
and released when it would be a bene-
fit instead of menace to the farm
ing communities.
7 "The problem is a big one" Brown
said, "and will call for much engineer
ing and financial study. The Govern
ment has aided the settlers of the arid
regions of the West materially through
the irrigation systems. 1t seems to
me equally as much a Federal func-
tiOn to aid in taking water off of over
flowed lands. Poplar Bluff Citizen
