Says Women Are Poor Cooks

The late Maurice Francis ESan
former Minister to Denmark, robs
woman of her prestige as queen of
the kitchen in a delightfully."- humor
Gus essay in Century. Mr.. Egan
having pointed out why men are bet
ter cooks than women says:
The woman cook is now in fair
competition with the men of her avo-
cation in this country. Now that all
wines and liquors, domestic and for
eign, are taboo, she is on equal
grounds with those men cooks who
Increased the charms Of food by what
is now considered the meretricious
aid of diluted alcohol. Besides, the
competition is lessened by the fact
that the very great chefs will not
remain in a country deprived Of one
of the most important appliances OF
their art.
These departing chefs cooked for
men. and that is what the woman
cook seldom does. There is always
in her mind an imaginary man who
ought to like what she cooks. And
I must make the frank and startling
admission that he pretends to. he
knows very well. in his heart, that
when a cook in his family offers him
n dish, supposed to have been made
to please him, she is really endeav-
oring to please creature OF her
fancy; or, in some cases, rather rare
to please herself, He will not admit
the truth of this. He is bound by
tradition to swear by the curious
compounds his mother used to make
If he does not, he is ruined domes-
tically, and he deprivcs himself OF
the use of a comparison which may
help him sometime to secure almost
what he wants to eat. AS women
were born without any real taste
for food,-they. when alone. absort
anything at hand,-chocolate cellars
and barbaric salads by preference
they must learn now. that they ara
legally declared to he the equals OF
man. to discover why he has always
been superior in that art which fol-
centuries they have unrighteously
proclaimed as entirely their own.

Efforts Wool Growers
Assn. Appreciated

c. H. Crawford, manager of the
Maine Sheep & Wool Growers Asso-
citation. has just received a letter OF
appreciation from an enthusiastic
member of the organization who
states his opinion that wool growers
would not have been offered more
than 40 cents a pound last year by
local buyers If 1t had not been for the
association.
The writer of the letter continues:
THE local buyers started the price
at 40 cents, but when the association
came out with their price As cents
down or take it the usual way the
local buyers came up to that ana
never went any higher, to my
knowledge
THE difference between the price
the local buyers started and tn price
at 40 cents, but when the association
came out with their price As cents
down or take it the usual way the
local buyers came up to that and
never went any higher, to my know
ledge.
THE difference between the price
the local buyers started and the
price the association paid made
$157.20 on my lot and that is quite a
profit on a small deal"

Governor Baxter
Urges Elimination
OF Objectionable
Features of Fairs

Declaring that It is time some OF the
fairs in the State had a house-cleaning.
Governor Baxter In statement issued
Saturday asserts that for four years
he has visited many county and state
fairs in every section of Maine and as
the fair" season IS now opening he
urges those in charge OF these exhibit
lions to eliminate all objectionable
and sensational features.
Most of our fairs are a credit to
their management" continued Govern
or Baxter. while others. apparently t.
obtain revenue, allow things to be done
upon their grounds that have demor-
elizing effect upon our people. Such
things are to be regretted.
There are fairs where II is an az
front TO decent citizens, who take
their families out for a days whole
some amusement. to be obliged to walk
by stands on which are grouped half
clad women and offensive men who
seek to entice the curious into their
side shows.
"Deformitics. whether human or an
imal. should not be exhibited for they
cater to depraved tastes. There are so
many useful and attractive exhibits to
he shown and which stimulate health
full competition that It Is a shame to
hEiik III tnpSe tHdt arc actually lHl-
moral and revolving.
1t Is time that some OF our fairs
had a house-cleaning. 1 do not believe
that it Is necessary for any manage
ment to license questionable exhibits
in order to make fair a success. If
success depends upon such exhibits 1t
is better to close the fairs.
Great credit is due to the manage
ment of fairs who place ban upon
anything that is suggestive or soQen-
sive, and l congratulate such man
agements upon the success which they
have achieved and upon the confidence
in which the public holds them.
II should be especially pleased to
see the pulling contests eliminated.
Oftentimes splendid horses and oxen
are strained to the last degree and Sc
rereiy injured in the heat and excite
ment of these contests. What great
sport can it be to see one team drag
a load 100 pounds heavier than anoth-
er. when by doing so faithful animals
are driven to such point shat the
State Is forced to have humane agents
on the scene to protect them from too
great abuse. Again. there are so many
worth while things, and pulling con-
tests it eliminated would not be
missed

ME:THOD|STS VOTE
FOR CHURCH union

Chattanooga, Tenn.-Southern Meth
odists, in special general conference
here, voted overwhelmingly to accept
the proposed plan for unification with
the Methodist Episcopal church de-
vised by joint commission of the two
organizations and adopted by the
northern general conference recently
in Springfield, Mass.
The plan of organic union has yet
to run the gauntlet of the annual con-
ferences of the two churches, the
northern conference voting in 1925,
while the southern conferences were
requested in a resolution to act dur
ing the same year. In the north two
thirds of all the members voting in
the annual conferences must ratify the
proposal, while in the south the re-
CURED majority is three-fourths.
Should the merger finally become
effective, it would unite into one body
approximately 100000 Methodists in
the country and heal breach that has
existed since the separation in 1874.
