ing the chicken and if you would
be most successful, then choose
the one that you think best suited
to the size and tenderness Of your
chicken.
The best size for frying is be.
tween 21a and S1a pounds. it
should be between IA and 20 weeks
old.
HOW TO PREPARE
If the chicken is tough or not
so young, it can be rolled in sea.
soned flour, Drowned nicely in
bacon drippings and butter then
baked in the oven to a golden
tenderness. Before putting it in
the oven, pour a cup of water
over it. This will keep it moist
during cooking.
For chickens heavier than 312
pounds, cut the chicken into the
usual number of pieces and SIM
mer in water until half done.
Before frying the chicken, lct
the pieces cool. Then dip the
chicken in well-seasoned flour, dip
in beaten egg diluted with two
tablespoons of water, and now IN
crumbs. If the flour and crumbs
are placed in separate paper bags,
then the chicken Is more quickly
covered.
Fry each piece in hot shortening
and butter until well Drowned. Re-
move and continue until all pieces
Of chicken are golden brown.
Drain the fat from the skillet,
add the pieces Of chicken, sprinkle
with chopped onion and a half
cup of cream and bake. The cream
keeps the chicken rich and moist.
It provides a moist cooking that
softens the connective tissue.
For the tender young chickens,
wash, cut, dry and chill. Place
flour, salt and pepper in a paper
sack. Add the pieces of chicken
one at a time and shake until
the chicken Is well coated with
flour.
Use a heavy covered chicken
fryer or larger skillet. Melt
enough shortening and butter to
cover about one-half inch. When
the fat is hot, add the chicken,
q few pieces at time, and brown
slowly on all sides. Then place
the lid over the chicken, turn the
fire to low and simmer for 80
minutes.
COLORFUL DESSERT
The shortening used varies with
the community. In the South,
salt pork is preferred. For this,
fry out one pound of the fat salt
pork cut in pieces and take out
the cubes Of pork when the fat
has been cooked from them.

LIBERALS WIN
A week or so ago this column

Ann Arbor, Michigan, has de-
cided a goodnight kiss is all right

be kept in hand and positively no

to the foregoing decision after a
sharp campus squabble between
Liberals and Conservatives.

This action was defended by GER

tory denied the girl was fined.
She said the girl was merely cen
sored for making too great a show
Of her emotions.
And the troubles Of a United
States citizen with a Canadian
wife might furnish the skeleton Of
a highly diverting comedy. Says
Fred Girard:
'The only place I can kiss my
wife Is on ferry boat that plies
between Detroit and Windsor,
Canada. When I want to see my
wife, 1 call her on the phone and
say: 'I'n meet you on the 1880

United States side and ride over
to Canada, where she Joins me.
Then we ride back and forth, talk
ing and exchanging an occasional
kiss. I see plenty ON the river.
"My wife can't come to this
country, because when she was
younger she Overstayed her va
cation in the States. I married
her in Canada, and the Canadian
immigration guys say I can't go
back. Ferry-bOat kissing-bah!"

Married In 1912
Mrs. Winborne, nee Frances
Sharp Jernigan and Winborne
were married in 1912.
Born in Murfreesboro August
25, 1886, Winborne attended DR..
Parham's Seminary, now extinct,
and from there entered the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
On graduation in 1907 he was
awarded a Bachelor of Philosophy
degree, but, having become in
tereSted in law during his senior
year, pursued that study and
passed the state bar examination
in 1907.
Winborne practised law in
Hertford county with his father
until the latter's death in 1913,
after which he continued alone
until he took over dictatorship of
the state corporation commission
in 1880.
The former attorney also serv-
ed Hertford in the legislatures OF
1915, 1917, 1919 and 1921, three
times as representative and once
as senator.
Other Positions
Besides being mayor of Murs-
freeboro, he was member of the
education commission under
Governor Mclean, chairman of
the county Democratic executive
committee and presidential elec-
tor of the first district.
Nominated in the primary Of
1880, Winborne was elected state
corporation commissioner the
same year, filling the unexpired
term vacated by revenue commits
sioner A. j. Maxwell. In 1882
Winborne ran for a full six year
term as corporation head and
was elected over E. C. Macon of
Asheville, carrying all but five
counties"
The corporation, commission
was abolished in 1888 and replac-
ed by the utilities commission.
Winborne was retained as COM
missioner by appointment of
Gov. J. c. B. Ehringhaus.
Then, in 1884, the post was
made elected and Winborne ran
again for election, being opposed
the second time by Macon.
This time" Winborne said, II
carried every county"

Than the Taxes We Pay On Gasoline

creased "A per cent, but the coSC
Of electricity hay dropped 5O per
cent. In the face of this record

call halt on the utility raid.
But until the public knows the
facts, the 100000 power invest
ors can hope for no fair play!
The second quCStion-that OF

" dlscouraging. Study what hap
pcncd to power companies in
Europe under initiation and you
will come TO only one conclusion:
Sell securities in steam-generatlng
plant; if you think radical in
fla ion is coming. Hydro-electrlc
securities fare somewhat better
because they have no coal or oil
cost to be inflated. The m
fIation we have already had boost
ed sharply prices of copper, coal,
lumber. cement, and other major
commodities which are used by
power companies. With rates con-
stantly going down and commod-
ity CO Is steadily rising, the utlll-
ties deserve more help rather than
more taxes.
Big Gains Over?
The third queStion-that of the
general business outlook for the
nation - is more encouraging.
Power con umption since last
Labor Day has been holding to
almost a straight line around p
2OO.OOO.000 kilowatt hours per
week. The weekly increases over
the same period of year ago are
still running from 8 to II per
cent. but the gap is ;loWly mar
rowing. BY September, the gain
may be entirely wiped out. How
ere, believe that the basic trend
of general business is upward and
that before long all previous in
dustrial highs again will be
mashed. Hence, I advise against
sacrificing utility securities at this
time.
Then. too, there are possibilities
for new power markets which
have not yet been developed. If
the electric cookers and water
heaters go over with the Ameri-
can public as well as the electric
refrigerators have, twice as much
domestic juice could be sold. But
do not get too optimistic merely
on prospect of heavier power
consumption. Electricity output
today is 65 per cent above the
same week in 1888. During this
period. however, utility earnings
have improved less than half as
much. Hence, inve tors should
not bank too heavily on higher
security values because of long
term possibilities of increased
power sales. Watch taxes!
A study of a group of 80 cleo
trio companies shows that the
ratio of current stock prices to
earning is only % to l. A similar
study of 80 well-known industrials
shows that their priCe-earningS
ratio is II to l. This means that
utility beari hness has been over
done. I am still holding my power
stocks because l believe in New
tons Law of Action and Reac-
ton. Thirty years study have
taught me that the pendulum al.
ways goes too far in one direction
before it swings back. 1 feel that
the better utility issues will sell
higher during the next market
upSWing. However, I warn in
veStOrS that most holding-com-
pany common stocks should be
sold after this current period of
excessive utility gloom clears
away.
