Fifty Years Ago
In The Star

Fifty years ago the Government was
engaged In one of the most important
prosecutions ever undertaken in the
Federal Courts, the trial Of the So
called star route or
Star Route postal contract cases.
Indictments. The grand jury on
the eighteenth Of
February, 1881, returned indictments
against group Of prominent persons
including several eminent former Gov
ernment officials. The Star of Feb
ruary 81, thus outlined these cases:
1.-The prosecuting counsel in the star
route cases naturally feel gratified at
the presentment of the parties accused
of completely in these frauds, and the
public shares in this feeling. These
cases have filed a large measure OF
public attention OF some years past and
nothing short of thorough and i'm
partial judicial investigation will satisfy
the people. 1t has been charged that a
conspiracy, embracing some high offices
of the Government, existed for the pur-
pose Of defrauding the Government,
and that it succeeded in this purpose
to the extent of hundreds of thousands
Of dollars. The component parts OF
this conspiracy and its methods Of
operating, together with many other
specific allegations Of fraud and cor
ruption, have been from time to time
presented to the public. 1t was shown
that star routes in sparsely-settled sec
tions Of the West were expedited out
of all apparent proportion to the service
rendered. Public opinion settled upon
the conviction that the Government
had been defrauded and there has been
a general demand that the guilty per-
sons should be discovered and punished.
After examining So persons the grand
jury unanimously decided that there
had been fraud practiced upon the Gov
eminent and presented number of
persons for indictment. In addition to
these criminal proceedings, it is the
declared purpose of the prosecution to
institute several suits against such of
the contractors who are believed to have
profited by the frauds as are solvent
and for the recovery of all money
alleged to have been paid for service
never rendered.

We ponder some departed sage.
His teachings we repeat
All emptily; and next engage
In babblings Of the street.
We still explore the classic lore
And then, In glad surprise,
We say, as we have said before,
Are we not civilized"
In gaudy decorations we
VIII stand before the crowd.
In battle we'll contend and be
Of our achievement proud.
In human sacrifice we pay
For trinkets strangely priced.
And then all boastfully we say
Are we not civilized"

For Parallel to his Character.

Born the Benefactor of Mankind,
He united all the Qualities necessary

Cleaning Wall Paper,

Don't become discouraged if you can
not have new wall paper this year.
A simple wall paper cleaner can be
be made at home. Mix two cups of
flour with four level teaspoons of bak-
ing powder. Add two and one-half
tablespoons of household ammonia and
mix well. Add enough water to make
the mixture the consistency of thick
cake batter. Cook the mixture for an
hour and a half in double boiler.
This duogh should be kneaded with the
hands until soft and smooth like art
gum before it is ready for use. Test it
on the wall paper in an inconspicuous
place to be sure that the pattern does
not come off. One should start clean
ing at the top of the wall and work
downwards with light even strokes
All crumbs should be busted off care
fully and discarded so as not to at
tract insects. Smooth surfaces should
be washed, if washable. Or some other
type of cleaner should be used, because
this does not work well on smooth
surfaces. Grease spots should be
treated with Fuller's earth. This should
be left over night.

Hints for Storing Vegetables.

Stored vegetables should not be over
ripe and should be practically free
from disease and injury of all kinds.
The crops from the small home gar
dens that are suitable for storage in
clude beets, carrots, winter radish,
parsnips, turnips, cabbage, onions and
SquaSheS.
Firm tomatoes, partially ripened or
green, may be kept for late fall use.
Wrap each tomato in paper, and pack
wrapped tomatoes in boxes or baskets
until ripe enough to use. Sort as to
ripeness, when packing. If preferred,
the vines with firm tomatoes may be
gathered and hung in the storage room
until the tomatoes ripen.
Onions should be thoroughly dried
before putting into crates for winter
storage. Onions and dry beans require
cool, dry atmosphere.
Parsley will furnish green leaves for
use all winter if taken up with the
roots and planted in box. This should
be placed in the highest part of the
storage cellar and be watered occasion
ally, or it may be kept in the kitchen
windows.
Popcorn should be kept in an outdoor
storage. In the house it will dry out
too much to pop, and in the cellar will
become too moist.

School Day Adjustments.

Becoming adjusted in the fall to the
routine and confinement of school is
more difficult for children than most
parents realize.
School days for the mother mean
hurry and hustle in the morning, with
hurried goodbyeS and last warning
not to be late; long, quiet uninter-
rupted day; and a rather hectic even
ing. The evening is a mixture OF
boisterous letting off" of healthy
energy in desire to play, and of some
Indifference to the necessity of helping
with chores, of getting home studies
and of being quiet while father reads
his paper. Until all the family get
somewhat used to it, this means con-
siderable strain on parent-child re-
lationships. Someone has said that we
put shock abSorberS on everything but
human beings. Certainly they are nee
eSSary for successful family living in
the first month of school. The follow
ing suggestions may help:
l. A schedule for the family
planned by all the family with time
for work and time for play for each
member, but elastic enough to meet
emergencies. Family planning brings
better cooperation than parental or
ders.
2. Mother visits school and observes
the school routine and the teachers
methods. Teacher is invited to the
home, perhaps for supper. 1t is not
hard to understand, when all sit with
their feet under the same table and
break bread together.
8. For the first few weeks some
special recreation for the weekend will
help-perhapS Sunday afternoon pic
mic in the woods.
Everyday happiness in living is a
more important part of education than
formal studies in school. The parents
attitude is important in determining
what that happiness shall be. Parents
must lead the way.
