To Give Meat Taste.

Imitation meats made by some
manufacturers from nuts and beans for
the vegetarian trade have a decidedly
meaty favor, especially when broiled.
For soup, tie teaspoonful of juniper
berries in a scrap of eheesecloth, crush
them and cook them in the soup until
the mock meat taste Is sufficiently de-
veloped, at which time they should be

THE SPRING POETS

What has become Of the spring
poets who used to flood the news
paper Offices about this time with
their sugary verses on the trilling
birds and the balmy breezes?
The writing of such ditties once
gave satisfaction to many stifled
souls, who were too closely i'm
prisoned by the restrictions of daily
life. While their hands were toll
somely washing the dishes and
sweeping the floors, their longing
hearts were imagining poetic
thoughts.
Spring poetry was never welcomed
in newspaper offices. 1t sold no cop
les of the paper. Yet the editor was
grieyed for the little old lady who
so frequently wrote those limping
lines. It was the dream of her as
piring heart to see the thoughts of
her brain imperishably preserved in
the archives of the county paper.
The editor may have laughed, but
his heart felt a little thrill of

SIMPLER TIMES

Many of the difficulties from which
people suffer today come about be-
cause these folks have become ac-
cnstOmed to more elaborate and
costly ways of living.
Many men can recall the simple
entertainment that used to be salts
factory to their girl friends, and how
many times they had a glorious old
time with a 25 cent show and a bag
of peanuts. Nowadays the boys COM
plain that it breaks up ten dollar
bill to take a girl out for the even
ing.
So it goes all through family life.
We have become used to costly pleas
ures and luXuries, which have de-
pleted many family fortunes, so that
if work is slack for a few months,
the family may lack food and cloth
ing.
1t IS of course unfortunate if fam
lily economies prevent people from
obtaining things needed for health.
If family is deferred from buying
needed labor saving devices or mod
ern plumbing, there is a loss to
health and efficiency.
But plenty of people have made
their economies through simpler ac-
-ivities and habits. College and
school students, it is said, are doing
ess celebrating and more reading,
which may seem a trial to some, but
heir mental power gains. Many
lours were pleasantly spent in
ZONES over backgammon, chess and
checkers. which in the busy whirl
If former years were scorned.
The simpler pleasures give more
at less expense. Reading,
lusic, gardening, nature study, home {
ames, the simpler athletics, cost s
9ss than many things for which {
eople have spent money, and they
i've more satisfaction. OF course l
ONE folks who have been providing
ixuries may have to go back to t
dishes. But when money a
saved on eXtravagances, there is h
ore for substantial needs. Il

there is a full flow of economical
power at low engine speeds: 35 h. D.
at 1900 r. p. m; 80 h. p. at 1850 r. p.
m; 60 h. p. at 2180 T.. D. m, and IS
h. p. at $4,000 r. p. m
A further indication of efficiency is
the small cubic inch displacement
. per horsepower developed. The
Studebaker engine has piston dis
placement Of 230 cubic inches, and
develops one horsepower for each
BOG cubic incll displacement. The
seventy-tive pound crankshaft is both
statically and dynamically balanced,
and provided with vibration damp
er. The piston and connecting rod
assemblies are balanced to Is of an
ounce.
Studebaker also employs the new
ly developed electrO-plated pistons.
The plating, Of sOfe metal, does sew
eral important things. 1t permits
closer fit, reduces possibility of
scoring or the development of piston
slap, and prolongs the life of IN
piston. After 10000 mile test with
the throttle wide open, the piston
fit was found to be closer than is
normally allowed in new engine
with plain cast iron pistOns.
Another feature is the new floating
oil intake located in the crank
which allows only clean oil to en-
ter the oil pump II requires no at
tention. Dual fan belts give in
creased life to the individual belt and
prevent slippage at any speed.
A high degree of heat dissipating
efficiency is secured by the new,
deep, fiat tube radiator, and the
large centrifugal water pump.
The engine, clutch, and transmits
sion unit is secured to the frame by
four heavy brackets. The front en-
sine mountings are cushioned with
arge, live rubber blocks.
Studebaker truck chassis are par
icularly well braced. The cross

Brakes are of the Bendix duo

GET OUT THE VOTE DRIVE

A drive to induce 50,000,OOO people
TO vote at the November election is
being promoted by the United States
Junior Chamber of Commerce. Only
S6,O0O,OOO votes were cast in the
1928 elections. That total was much
larger than the average, owing to
the intense heat generated in that
election.
The general tendency of the Amer
ican people has been to lose inter-
est in voting at elections. Let
George do it" has become a favorite
national motto. A person would
argue that his one vote would never
be missed. That was about as SEN
sible as for man to dodge army
service during a time of war, on the
theory that the army would never
miss one soldier...' ~,t.-,} so .o-.

throne could often get a lot of good
things done. But on the whole they
governed the world poorly. The

TAXING STOCK SPECULATION

In the excited efforts of the con-
gressmen to find new sources of tax
alton with which to balance the fed
eral budget, nothing viii fail to es-
cape scrutiny. "If you see a head,
hit it." seems to be the motto. The
proposed tax on sales by manufac-
turers having apparently been beat
Ell, our statesmen are combing the
country for any interest or activity
out of which dollar can be squeez-
ed.
One proposition is to place a tax
on the transfers of stocks on the
stock exchanges, the figure of one
quarter of one per cent being named,
with twice that amount on short
sales. CONSERVATION struck the
stock brokers when that was pro-
posed, and il was even suggested
that if enacted, the New York stock
exchange might remove to Toronto
or Ottawa, Canada.
People should not get too much
stirred over this situation The COM
mon sense of the country will pre-
vent solutions of this question from
going to extremes.
A tax of quarter of one per cent
on stocks bought for cash would not
be prohibitive On 10 shares of
stock selling for $1OO each, the tax
would be only $3.50. But where it
would pinch would be on margin
transactions. If a man bought 100 |
such shares on a 10 point margin,
then the government would stick him
$3.50, and he would squeal Justify
A certain amount of speculation
makes a market for securities, and
helps a legitimate holder get a fair
Price if he has to sell. But the coun-
try feels there has been too much
speculation, and too many people
trying to put stock prices down
when they are too low already. The
public will. be favorable to a rea-

WILL BALAYCE THE BUDGET

The reaction of the lower house
of Congress 10 the appeal of Speaker
Garner, that taxes be levied suff-
cient to balance the federal budget.
will encourage the country. The
people of Delaware hate to pay tax
es. But they hate worse to run into
debt. The idea of running along
year after year, borrowing money to
pay current expenses, does not ap-
peal to them.
They have seen too many business
houses and too many families run
ming on that basis, and they know
what has become of them. They
know that a business whose expenses
are twice its receipts, can not con-
tinue to do business indefiniately.
Ono Of these days the bank that
has been lending money to that con-
cern will want some assurance as
10 it's aolyency. 1t will quit loaning
money until such assurance is pro-
vided.
Several European nations have
shown what happens when coun-
try fails to pay it's debts. Germany
resorted to the issue of paper money
to pay its bills, with the result that
their money became worthless, and |
most of the people were reduced to
dire poverty. When everyone in a
country becomes poor, it becomes
impossible to provide work for the
people. So today Germany has more
unemployed persons in proportion to
its population than any other coun-
try The American people propose
10 keep out of that hole.
The taxes which Congress is in
process of voting will seem burden
some. But before our people growl
too much, they should reflect that ,
hey are light compared with those
.he European peoples pay.
The main thing now should be to
yet this tax bill passed soon. The 6
;ooner it becomes law, the sooner
he credit of our government will be
-ully restored, and the sooner our :,
,anks and business people will know :.
What they can depend upon. Con- -
,ress should get busy. and finish up :;
his legislation within 80 doys. :,

SPRING LILIES

Gardeners who neglected to plant
lily bulbs last fall can plant some
this spring, as there is new way
of storing bulbs in winter at tenn
peratures a little above freezing
that keeps them in good condition
for spring planting. In the North il
is best TO wait until the frost is out
of the ground, but i'm the South most
species can be planted anytime dur
ing the winter. Good kinds of lilies
for spring planting are the regal,
the gold-banded, speciosum, umbel-
latum, Siberian, tiger, and any of
the Elegans group.
