SALAD BASKET.

The basket was made from the flaky
pastry. The mould, which Mrs. Chit
wood advised that the women get Mt
Fox company, was a basket shaped
bowl. The mould is slightly creased
with Crisco and then lined with the
pastry which is rolled the same as pie
crust. Leave the ruffled edge to add
attractiveness TO the finished product.
Bake in moderate oven. The ham
dies of the basket are braided. twist
cd. or simply strips Of dough and
baked around a baking powder can
corresponding in size to the basket
mould. Handles are very brittle and
must be put on the basket when very
hot. The filling for the basket is made
of San Antonio's manufactured prod
ucts. Take 4 tablespoonful of deyiled
chill meat. l tablespoonful Of finely
cubed apple, 1 tablespoonful OF finely
cubed celery and teaspoonful of may
onnaise dressing. Decorate with par

Mislead Farmer and Workman?

When our present tariff system
was framed, between forty and
fifty of the principal agricultural
organizations of the country were
represented at the hearings Before
the Ways and Means Committee.
They succeeded in carrying all
their points with the result that
practically everything the farmer
buys for use on his farm was
placed on the free list, and every
thing the farmer raises for sale
was put on the protected list.
In spite of all the political talk
to- the contrary, it Is safe to say
that the general opinion Of the IN
formed farmer is, that our present
tariff laws are nearly as perfect
from the point of view of the
farmer as it is possible to make
them.
To open the flood gates of Eu-
rope and the Orient and abolish the
tariff on wheat and other cereals,
wool, butter, eggs, cheese, citrus
fruits, sugar and a hundred other
things that the farmer raises
which are now protected, would be
calamity for the farmer just as
he is beginning to get on his feet.
A blow at the tariff protection to
American industry is blow at the
factory worker, which in turn is a
blow at the farmer, because Amer
lean workmen comprise the biggest
market for American farm pro-
ducts.
The sooner the public, the labor
ing man, and the farmer realize
these homely facts, the sooner will
the tariff question be taken out of
politics and considered purely as a
scientific business problem, to be
changed only as varying conditions
warrant a reconsideration Of rate
schedules.

Playground of the Middle West.
Geographically, it is located in the
midst of a group of rich and pros
porous states which are not gifted
with the scenic beauty-the lakes
and forests-which the tourists
seek. geographically, as the brief
description of the state in this ar
ticle indicates, it was fashioned by
Nature to be a playground in
which thousands Of people might
spend part of the heated months
under the wide open sky or in the
shaded woodland. With a shore of
500 miles on two of the Great
Lakes, girdled on the west by the
Mississippi River, with thousands
of lakes, a large area of forest
country, interlaced by many broad
streams and small rivers, with a
diversified topography, from prairie
land to rolling hill and abrupt
crags and heights, there is wide
variety of scenery for the tourist.

In the face of this, says Ira Mel
son Morris in Illinois State Jour-
nal, automobile owners should not
be burdened with compulsory auto
mobile liability insurance. Efforts
should be concentrated on accident
prevention.
Compulsory insurance is only a
partial and ineffective remedy for
the public against losses caused by
irresponsible drivers. In many ac-
cidents blame cannot be fixed and
insurance would not help.
More stringent police measures
to bar reckless and incompetent
drivers, instead Of compulsory in
surance, will better protect the
public. The great majority of mo-
florists should not be fined
through compulsory insurance be-
cause of the faults of few.
Forcing such insurance would in
crease accidents, jury duty, litiga-
tion and taxes.

Besides these properties the state
owns over 100000 acres of school
lands which have been protected
from fire and which have been adj
ministered as state forests for a
number of years. Much of this
land fronts on some of the most
beautiful of the Northern Wiscon-
sin lakes, and steps are being taken
to set it aside for park purposes.
The state has wisely provided for
the leasing for nominal sums of
cottage sites in the forest reserve
for summer campers.

leadership in developing advanced
legislation on many public quest

sion, which exercises general super

erty for tax purposes in the state,
is one of the pioneers IN this coun-

There are in the state many re-
markable groups of Indian Mounds
the most unique of which are the
ethgy mounds bearing the shapes
OF animals. These are practically
confined to Wisconsin, there being
relatively few of them in other
states. 1t is rather remarkable and
unusual fact that this type of
mound should be limited to one
state; but there are thousands of
them in Wisconsin. Practically all
OF them are burial mounds, and the
animal shapes were undoubtedly
symbols in the Indian religious
ceremonials. The only two man
shaped mounds known are in this
state.
Landmarks of the Indian.
The red man had peculiar con
ception of arts, and while at times
the effigy mounds bear striking re-
semblances to bears, dogs, and
other animals, at other times the
resemblance is rather remote. A
turtle mound, for instance, has an
exaggerated tail and looks some
what like a dagger, the round body
of the turtle being in the handle.
In the same way tails of other ami
mails are exaggerated to great
lengths. A bird mound looks much
like pickaxe. In addition to these
there are several intaIgic mounds
in the state, in which the effigy is
sunk into the earth instead of be-
ing raised. There is one of them
at Fort Atkinson. The Dewey
Mounds near Mukwonago are a re.
markable group, some of the fig
ures being over 200 feet long. The
Wisconsin Archaeological Society
has for years been locating these
mounds, making a study of them
and recently has been taking steps
to preserve them and mark then
with descriptive tablets.

Hunters Enjoy Open Woods.

The Wisconsin Conservation
Commission was organized with a
view to conserving the states fish
and game and to supervise several
state parks, spots of unusual beau
ty which had been set aside by the
state. There are several fish hatch
cries devoted to the propagation of
different species of game fish. The
lakes of Wisconsin are the habitat
of the small-mouth black bass and
pike and pickerel, while her hum
dreds of small streams are the
other species, the muskelunge,
home of the much sought brook
trout. Thousands Of hunters go to
the northern woods every fall to
hunt deer. In the hunting season
of 1919, 22,O00 deer were secured
by these hunters. 1t is estimated
that million wild ducks are
bagged in the state every year In
1920, $4,000 hunting licenses were
issued.

There are eight state parks IN
Wisconsin. Peninsula Park Is In
the Door County Peninsula, north
of Green Bay. 1t contains 1000
acres, a wooded area along the
Green Bay shore with striking
scenery in the form of limestone
bluffs as the shoreline. Inter
state Park is a tract of $50 acres,
a portion of which lies in the State
of Minnesota, and includes the
rugged scenery along the Dells of
the ST. Croix. Twelve miles south
of Superior is Pattison Park, $50
acres, within which is the highest
waterfall in the. state, drop of
100 feet.
Perrot Park includes Trempeleau
Mountain, the most striking piece
of rugged scenery on the Upper
Mississippi River and the spot
where Nicolas Perrat, the Frsy.ch
explorer, built fort and spent the
winter of 1885. 1t is a tract of
$50 acres. Nelson Dewey Park,
named after the first governor of
Wisconsin, contains 1900 acres at
the junction of the Wisconsin and
Mississippi rivers in the south
western part of the state. The
scenery is rugged and wild, com
