The mystery surrounding the close

and President Wilson and the amaz-

world history is finally to be revealed
Col. House. the only person who could
now give the whole story to the pub

remarkable and intimate documents in
American political history.
Called "Col. Mouse"
For II years the very name Col.
House has been synonymous with Sc

name bestowed on him by Col George

tried to discover the purpose of his
confidential errands to various Euro

House has always been 1.-THE Sphinx"
He threaded his noiseles way
through political campaigns: his Quiet
word was the final word in selecting
Cabinet officials and high Government
offcers. His missions from the White
House to the capitols of Europe were
so important and confidential that
even our own Ambassadors were not
permitted to know what he was about.

secretary, left orders that Col House

And yet. not until now, has the
world ever known what he was about
on his errands of so great Importance
to the, American people.
Public to Know at Last
Now President Wilson is dead. and
Col. House has decided that the rec

unofficial but more important than the
part of most offlcials-belongs to the
permanent public history Of the Amer

personal diary and private correspond
ence in the archives of an American
university. But not until he has first
given 1t to the public through publica-

the country.

will allow Americans to follow him
day by day in his movements and
plans, known at the time only to the
lonely man in the White House, max

Ambassadors, consulting the ruling
heads of Europe, crossing the battle
lines from the Allies to the Kaiser,
with the confidence of both through
our ticklish years of neutrality, try

Wilson went--and he went the limit

They know where a lost ship meets
With the evening star.
They learn, when the sky is green
With a brooding dawn,
Where the heavy lilacs lean,
Where the lark is gone.

Interclass Basket Rail

The interclass series of basket
ball opened at Oak Grove, Tuesday.
with large attendance and I'M
bounded enthusiasm. The series
opened with the contest between the
seniors and sophomores and with
each side confidently expecting the
victory. Both teams played with
fine craftsmanship but typically
American determination to win. AT
the end of the first quarter the score
was tied, 3-3. The younger girls
rallied an unconquerable spirit and
in the last half gained a lead of
five points. Then the more digni-
fled seniors awoke and playing a
swift game rapidly decreased the diff
ference. The sophomores also in
creased their speed and the game
ended with a whirlwind finish. the

leading batting averages of his team.
On the gridiron team he held down one

French Dressing.

To some persons French dressing
is oil and vinegar mixed in spoon

And that, Of course, is French
dressing.
But to others French dressing is
much more complicated. 1t Is an OIL
and vinegar combination with many
other things added, and it is mixed
long before time to use 1t ana al
lowed to stand and mellow:
One recipe for a complicated Frencn
dressing calls for a teaspoon each OF
surar and ground mustard and salt,
mixed well together. with a saltspoon
of paprika and some cayenne pepper.
To this is added half O cup OF oil. very
slowly, and then two tablespoons OF
vinegar. The mixture should be con-
stantly beaten. Then another half
cup Of oil and another two table
spoons Of vinegar are added, all
beaten thoroughly the while. The
dressing is then put In bottle and
kept on ice until it is gone. Each
time it is used 1t is thoroughly
shaken. 1t does not spoil. and In
deed is better for a weeks standing.
OF course it must be shaken thor.
oughly when it is used, but 1t must
also be well mixed to begin with to
be at its best.
One good cook always let's three
or four peppercorns stand In her bot
tie of French dressing-and for at
least day before any of It Is used,
too. Another always adds a few
shreds Of sweet green pepper. which
abe removes after "a hours If the
dressing Is to stand longer.

Of Madison, s. Dak He is brown with
a white spot on his breast. Pulling
wagon or a sled loaded with groceries
or children is only one of his tricks,
but one that his owner appreciates.
When Bill goes hunting he goes into
the water and brings back the ducks
that have been shot. and when he is
thirsty he stands with his paws or
the sink and whines. He scratches
on the door to get in or out, chases a.
stick and goes to meet the paper boy
and carries in the paper.

will not chase automobiles himself.
