How to Cure Fresh Pork In Brine

There are quite a number OF ways
of preserving pork, and other indi-
viduels might suggest a different
recipe for your consideration. We
Shelieve, however, in recommending
only those plans OF procedure which
have been tested out and which.
through series OF prolonged trial
have demonstrated their efficiency.
Under the circumstances, we recon-
mend that you proceed as follows,

CHAPTER NH
Tex Takes a Chance

r YRA had been forced to give Tex
dance, whether she would or
not. She had succeeded in@evad-
ing him until after supper, but at
last he had made his way toward
her, and she had given him a waltz
To do this she had cut one of her
dances With Peter, but she had eX-
planned this to him very sweetly, and
Peter with the memory of his en-
counter with her earlier in the eve
ming, had given up the dance with
good grace.
Lyra did not want to dance with
Tex. He was too big, too awkward,
he made her feel ridiculous, she
could not stand the thought that
people were looking at her amusedly,
but she comforted herself with the
knowledge that men would be sure
to cut in on them.
Tex did not understand this bust
ness of cutting in, and, when man
walked up and deliberately took Lyra
out of his arms, his blue eyes flash
ed. But standing On the sidelines,
it did not take him long to under
stand the system, and when she
in himself
Lyra laughed. He was so grim, so
determined. He took everything so
seriously. But when Peter tried to
cat in on them, and Tex refused to
give her up. holding her against him,
and dancing her away before Peter
was aware Of what was happening,
Lyra felt a vague premonition of
danger. However, this was gone in
a. moment, gone because Lyra re-
fused to admit that she was afraid
Of anything. AS If she couldn't
manage any man, as If she were
afraid of any one or anything! And
to prove this to herself she went out
into the grounds with Tex after the
dance and strolled around for a
while.
But the stones of the gravel path
cut into her silver slippers, and after

Answer:
The woman who marries a man
to reform him, or the man who mar
rles woman to reform her take a
foolhardy risk and nearly always
wreck their own lives without ben
eflting the erring one, for there is
something fundamentally wrong and
weak with any one who needs to be
reformed, and the man or woman
who will not go straight because
their own sense of honor, and hon
esty, and high principle demands it
of themselves, is not likely to do so
for the sake of any mere husband
or wife. There Is no moral surgery
by which we can implant backbones
in The spineless, and while there is
so much good matrimonial think
going to waste, it seems foolish to
select rotten plank upon which to
build your house of happiness.
So that's that. I don't think that
many people give a woman credit
for marrying a drunkard, or a gam
bier, or a roue, to reform him. Thew
think she is a fool. And they think
that man who marries a fallen
woman or a drunken woman to le-
form her is an even greater fool,
because the woman who strays off
the straight and narrow path goes
deeper into the pit than man does,
and is far harder to rescue. Also she
finds it far more difficult to come
back than a man does, because the
world judges her more severely and
Furnishes her more cruelty than it
does an erring man.
AS to whether a man is justified
in marrying a woman of'the under-
world, that depends on two things;
First, on the character of the wo
man, and, second, how ardently she
longs for the clean things of life.
how sincere is her repentance.
There are plenty Of women who,
in the folly Of their youth, through
ignorance, through misplaced love
or under the stress of some great
temptation, have taken the wrong

John A. Soule

| have your letter of October
22nd, addressed to all the candi-
dates for the Legislature from the
10th district, and also the editor
ial enclosed.
I had read your editorial when
your paper came out last week,
and at that time | labelled it as
a very good article stating the
conditions relating to the merger
of the County and City govern
ment very well. | am most GER
tainly opposed to any such Coun-
ty and City merger, or any sep
aration of the City of Seattle
from the County. | do not be-
lieve that the saving in expendi-
lures which the proponents of the
merger claim, would be carried
out in practice. 1t may sound
very well to look at it from the
point of view which some of these
Seattle people, have. They are
unable to see that the county Is
made up of a very large number
of people outside of the City of
Seattle
I will certainly do all in ny
power to fight any such proposal
as merger of the City of Seattle
and the County of King govern
ments, or any separation of the
City of Seattle from the County
of King, if the people of the 40th
District see fit to place me in the
Legislature.
Yours very truly,

THEY RE UNANIMOUS

Our editorial last week on the
proposed Comty-City merger,
which would leave Nashon Island
on the end of a limb, with the
Seattle people holding the axe,
has met with a unanimous cutlery
against such a movement, and a
most hearty endorsement of our
stand by all the legislative candi-
dates from our district. This is
so gratifying to us that we let
the four candidates tell their
stand in their own language. In
addition thereto, B. .. Swain, a
candidate on the Farmer-Labor
ticket asks us to announce that he
is absolutely opposed to such a
plan and if elected will fight it
with all his power.

Seventh Day Adyentists, and the
like. While this paper believes
whole-heartedly in our public
schools, we also believe too little
attention is given to the religious
instruction of children. Often the
mind is developed, while the NOR
al side is allowed to bend and nod
with the passing breeze of fad
and fancy. Such a condition
breeds Loebs and Leopolds. The
Catholic Mother who is willing to
pay her tax for public school
purposes, and then in addition
chooses to pay an additional tax
or expense for the privilege of
sending her child to a religious
school, proves TO us most conclu-
sively that back of that mother
is a profound CONVICTION. She
believes the church school will
give her child something the pub
lie school will not give. We be-
lieve the mother should be the
judge. She has a greater inter
est in the well-being of her child
than the state could possibly
have. Somehow we cannot feel
that measure 40 is either wise or
American.

Answering your letter Of Octo
Der 22nd requesting statement
as to my stand on CityCounty
consolidation.
Beg to advise that | am abso-
lutcly opposed to any change in
our present form of County gov
eminent and if elected to the
State Legislature will do every
thing in my power to maintain
our present arrangement.
There are certain advantages
to the County district in being in
the same county with Seattle. The
City contributes to our road and
bridge fund and they should do
so as the city people use the roads
even more than the country peo-
pie do.
Four years ago 7 was one of a
delegation of Enunclaw people to
appear before a Senate Commit
tee to protest against the propo-
sition and two years ago as a
of the House used all my
influence to block this bill.

NEXT TUESDAY

NEXT TUESDAY
Next Tuesday is the great
American day, AT first pecul-
lar to this country, the demand
for the people to decide by cleo
ton whom they desire to rule oy-
er them has grown in world fay-
or until it is now observed gen
orally in all countries and by all
people. AT that time, which is
the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, some
thing like Is million voters will
assert their common privilege by
casting a ballot for their choice
of public officials. This choice
will range all the way from a pre-
cinct constable up to the Presi-
dent of the greatest republic on
earth A sacred privilege, a pro-
found responsibility, a solemn du-
ty! Everyone who is entitled to
vote, should 90 to the polls and
cast a full ballot. On VaShon
Island there are 1850 persons reg
istered in the different precincts
and the News-Record would feel
mighty proud if we can pie up at
least 1000 votes. Let's do it
and show the other parts of the
county we are on the map.
1t is neither BETTING or eXpcc-
ted that a local paper should tell
these thousand and more voters
how they should vote on the diff
ferent measures, or for the differ
ent candidates. ''Vox populi,
yox Del" The voter must de-
eide that important matter indi-
vidualIy. This is especially true
in National and State matters. In
local matters we believe We
should vote for such men and
measures as will be best for the
interests of the Island. We be-
lieve Judge Askren would make
good Supreme Judge but the
courts will be upheld no matter
who is chosen. In speaking a
good word for Malcolm Douglas
and Charles II. Paul for two Of
the Superior Judges we gave or
reasons last week. The rivalry in
the race for representative is so
keen and the lines 50 strongly
drawn we cannot offer an opln-
ion. To this paper the one over.
shadowing local issue is that Of
County Commissioner. We know
what Frank II. Paul has done, IN
der great handicaps, for the Is
land during the past % months,
and, Judging the future by the
past, we confidently expect his
continued friendship for the Is
land. We hope the results next

how much the Island appreciates
