Chinese Trade and the War.
United Stutes trade with China in
creased in 1015, although foreign busi
ness men throughout the world suf
fered a loss of more than $100,000,000
i ■ their exports to that country last
jear. China has for years been in an
unsettled condition, yet the country’s
foreign trade mounted higher and high
er until the European war, wjien the
trade was crippled. Wherever a rail
road has been built in China new trade
opportunities have sprung up and new
markets have been created. On the

The People Pay.
The people of the United States are
paying war prices for a great many ar
ticles of everyday use because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words, they are having a prac
tical demonstration at so much per of
the democratic free trade idea. The
idea is thW we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest. It may have worked
in the old days, bnt,it doesn’t work
now, because all the cheap sources of
supply are closed. If the old Repub
lican idea of protecting industry in our
own country had been followed con
sistently for the lust ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy la the production of all these
things, and our people would be able
to purchase them at reasonable prices.
Right now the mistake of abandoning
the theory of protection is costing the
people of this country more than it
costs any European nation to do its
part in tile war. —Yakima Republic.

GENEVIEVE ULMAR
(Copyright, 1918, by W. G. Chapman.)
Sidney Ward was on the road to
.success and was both grateful and
modest. He had only one care in life
—Myra. He did not know if Myra Dal
worth knew her mind. He loved her,
however.. She was kindly and gra
cious, but he had a rival, Gene l’artin.
Sidney was a lawyer, but lmd grad
ually drifted from his professional ca
pacity into politics. A reform move
ment had come along and he liudjbeen
induced to allow his name to be placed
on that ticket. The result was that he
was elected prosecuting attorney.
At the end of two years the spoils
men of the party put up a strong local
tight. The city needed the right man
in the right place. Sidney w r as elected
mayor by a flattering majority. Partin
w as ousted from a position as assessor,
but on tiie county ticket was made a
justice of the peace.
This wus quite a come-down for
that free-and-easy spendthrift, but he
managed to maintain an automobile
and wear good elothes, boasting of a
rleli uncle in another state and a pros
pective heirship. He hud a pleasing
way and was popular and Myra’s fam
ily rather favored him in preference to
Sidney, but the latter had heard of
some wild doings of his in the city,
and, leaving all personal hopes aside,
would have grieved to see him the hus
band of a bright, innocent girl like
Myra.
Sidney was delighted when Myra
and a girl friend, both considerably in
terested in charitable and humani
tarian work about the city, came to his
office one day. Myra lind a slip of pa-

the Room.
per in her hand on which a name and
number were written. She handed it
to Sidney.
“Mr Mayor,” she said, “we have
come to ask a favor of you in line
with the uplift work of our society."
“ ‘Jerome Boyce, 971,’ read Sidney,
“wants a position, I suppose—most of
my applicants do.”
“No, no, Mr. Mayor,” explained
Myra, quite on her maidenly dignity
in treating of official business —“we
want a pardon."
“For tills man?” inquired Sidney.
“Yes, Mr. Mayor. He has been set
at breaking stone. He is old, ill, has
friends lie can go to. His offense was
drinking to excess and Mr. Partin —”
“You mean Mr. Justice of the
Peace,” reminded Sidney with a smile.
“If not, why distinguish in your selec
tlou of stiff official names?”
“But a justice is not a mayor," ob
served Myra, with an expression on
her face that emphasized the estima
tion in which she held ids lofty
dignity. “Besides, it is a good deal to
ask you to turn loose a man on the
community who was lu the past at
least a confessed criminal.”
“And you have assured yourself that
this Jerome Boyce is worthy of leni
ency?” interrogated Sidney with busi
nesslike gravity.
“Oh, indeed, yes,” replied Myra
promptly. “I —I vouch for him.”
“That is a full guarantee for this
deportment at all times,” declared Sid
ney, and he felt rewarded by the most
grateful glow in Myra’s eyes as he
filled in a pardon blank.
“How good you are,” said Myra,
"both to us and to this poor man.”
Sidney forgot all about the iicidert
until late in the afternoon. He was
about to leave his office for the day
when a poorly clad stranger shuffled
into the room.
“I’m Jerome Boyce,” he announced,
“and the young lady said you would
help me a bit on my way.”
“Oh, yes, I remember,” answered
Sidney. “What are your needs, my
man?”
“Just ear fare to Hampden. I’m
through with the road. and. whut’s
worse, the Jimmy. I’ve a sister living
at Hampden and I can bunk in if I'll
be respectable.’
"Is that sufficient to carry you
through?” asked Sidney, extending a
teu-dollar bill.
“Oh. it’s only a dollar and a half,
the railroad fare.”
THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE. DOUGLAS, GEORGIA.
“Just keep the rest for being honest
enough to say so,” spoke Sidney. He
placed his hand on the shoulder of the
man and fixed his glance. “My friend,”
lie said, “if hard Unes strike you, and
you don’t waver from the straight
road, let me know and I’ll give you a
helping hand.” 1
“Bless you!” choked out liis, pen
sioner, the tears springing to his eyes
—“and the young lady!"
He paused, about to cross the
threshold, and regarded Sidney
thoughtfully and hesitatingly. Then he
looked ail around the room as if to as
sure himself that they were alone. He
came nearer to the mayor.
“I’ve something to say that iny old
pals might call ‘double crossing,’ ” he
spoke in a low tone, “but you’ve made
me feel like a man and I want to give
you a warning. In the jail I met some
old puls. They put me wise to a Job
you’re interested in.”
“Why, how is that?” inquires the
puzzled Sidney.
“You generally carry a big sum in
city funds in that safe yonder, don’t
you?”
“On occasions,” . admitted Sidney.
“What of it?”
“Someone’s after it. See here,
there’s a part of a city gang hired to
tap that strong box some durk night.”
“Hired? you mean —”
“The man who sentenced me, your
justice of the peace here, is behind the
scheme."
“Mr. Partin? Oh, incredible, man!
Don’t tell me that nonsense!”
“It’s true,” persisted the man, “uud
you’ll he wise if you heed my warn
ing.”
Sidney Ward sat ruminating over
the startling disclosure long after his
pensioner had departed. He could not
hut disbelieve any connection of Par
tin with a scheme of robbery. He had
heard that Partin was in narrow ready
money straits, hut he decided that, out
of hatred toward Partin for sentencing
him, Boyce had attempted to cast sus
picion upon him. Besides that, Partin
had gone to the city for a week a few
days previous and this did not look as
though he was linked up with any lo
cal misdoings.
Still, it was best to he on guard, for
Boyce had been very earnest in what
lie had said. Sidney unlocked the safe.
From an inner compartment he re
moved a large box envelope containing
the entire local tax collection in large
denomination bills to be shipped to the
county seat the last day of the month.
Then, about to close the safe, a queer
smile, crossed the face of Sidney. He
went over to his desk and fished out a
package done up in u newspuper.
Opening it, he revealed what looked
like thousands and thousands of dol
lars in government bank tails. This
he placed in the safe, relocked it, went
to the bank, found some of the clerks
there and placed the money envelope
in their charge on a trust receipt.
Two nights later the mayor’s office
was burglarized, the safe blown open.
Two days later three men were arrest
ed in a neighboring city for passing
counterfeit money. One of them was
Gene Partin, and he never returned
Somehow the wisdom and prudence
of the mayor leaked out and he re
ceived an ovation. He told Myra con
fidentially of how her part in bringing
Boyce to his notice had defeated the
looters.
“You deserve to be mayor,” he de
clared. “You may he mayoress, if you
will say the word, Myra. Do I deserve
the happiness I crave?”
“You could have asked me that
question long since,” said Myra.
“And you would have said —”
“Yes, of course,” answered Myra,
and the official lips greeted her loyal
ones with the first love kiss.
Young but Wise.
The old baby crawled along the floor
until he came to the side of the crib.
Then he pulled himself up until he
stood on Ids feet and looked over and
down on the new baby. v
“Just arrived?” he said.
“Yes.”
“Weli, let me give you a piece of ad
vice. I’ve been hear a couple of months
and know the whole game. Don’t be

clothes as much as you can, scream
loudly at all hours of the night and
make trouble galore for everybody.
You are surrounded by criminals. It’s
the only way you can get even. My
boy, you’re up against it —hard.”
The new baby wriggled a toe and
looked bored.
“Keep your advice to yourself,” he
replied. “You’re dotty. By the latest
dictum of psychology, the doctrine of
nonresistanee is the only thing to prac
tice. Go off and mubble to yourself.
You belong to a past generation. You’re

Twisting over calmly, he murmured
to himself:

Got the Wholesale Price.
It took a bartender with a pretty
good sense <f humor to pull this one.
One day a nondescript individual
sauntered iute the barroom where this
particular bartender was working and
ordered a drink of whisky. The bar
tender set cut the whisky glass and
the large glass for the chaser.
The customer disregarded the small
whisky glass and poured the larger
glass almost to the top and drank the
fiery liquid like so much milk. He
then laid a dime down on the bar. The
bartender took the coin, rang up a
nickel on the cash register and gave
him back the change.
“Gee, I thought a drink of whisky
was a dime here," the stranger said.
“Oh, no," returned the bartender.
“You see when we sell it like that we
give wholesale prices."—Exchange.
bOUO MEAT GISHES
NONE OF THEM EXPENSIVE BUT
ALL ARE APPETIZING.
Good for the Luncheon or Dinner
Menu and a Pleasing Change From
the Round of Steaks, Chops
or Roasts.
Rabbit Pie.—After boniug the rab
bit, put the bones, with .sufficient wa
ter to cover, into a stewpau, together
with a large onion, a hunch of mixed
herbs and nutmeg, suit and pepper to
season, and simmer for an hour. Ar
range the rabbit meat in layers in
a large pie dish, placing a little fat
bacon cut in strips and the yolks of
two hard-boiled eggs in between.
Strain’ over the gravy from the hones.
Cover with good pastry and bake for
an hour and a half.
Beef and Potato Pie. —The ingredi
ents required are one pound of beef
steak, one large onion, two and a half
pounds of potatoes, suit to taste. Cut
the meat into small pieces, also the
onion, l’ut it to stew for about two
hours, then adu the potatoes, which
have been cut into pieces about the
same size as the beef. Cover over
with a pie crust made from half a
pound of flour, a quarter of a pound
of lard and half a teaspoonl’ul of bak
ing powder. About forty minutes
shduld be allowed for the baking of
the pie.
Beef and Tomato Pie. —Slices of
cold beef should be arranged in a pie
dish with layers of thickly sliced to
matoes and onions, then add season
ing. Continue the layers till the dish
is full; add sufficient gravy to moisten
the whole, cover with parboiled pota
toes cut in slices and bake in a mod
erate oven for one hour.
Cheese and Potato Pie. —This is an
unusual dish, hut will be found
savory. The ingredients required are
three-quarters of a pound of cheese,
one piut of milk, three pounds of pota
toes, three ounces of margarine or
dripping, pepper and salt. Mash the
potatoes with the milk. Add three
quarters of the fat and cheese, with
pepper and salt to taste; mix well and
stir over the mixture into a well
greased pie dish. Sprinkle the re
mainder of the cheese on the top and
add the rest of the margarine cut into
small pieces. The pie may be baked
in front of the fire or in tiie oven, und
will be ready for the table when thor
oughly browned.
Sailor’s Pie. —Many years ago this
pie was popular. The ingredients re
quired are one pound of scraps of
fresh uncooked meat, four onions,
three, pounds of potatoes, a little pow
dered thyme, one pound or so of suet
or dripping crust and a seasoning of
salt and pepper. Clean and slice the
vegetables and cut the meat in small
pieces. Put all into a saucepan with
the thyme and seasoning. Simmer
until the meat is tender and then
cover with pastry rolled out to the
size of the saucepan. Fit it well into
the saucepan and cook for about an
hour and a half, after which cut the
crust into medium pieces and arrange
them round the stew on a hot dish.
Meat Puffs. —Make a puff paste with
dripping or lard, roll out about a quar
ter of an inch thick and in oblong
pieces; place a spoonful of cold meat
of any- kind, chopped fine and well
seasoned, on each piece of paste, roll
tiff and brush over with egg, and bake
in a quick oven.
Paste for Cleaning.
Here is something that all house
wives do not know: To one pint of
boiling water add one and one-half
ounces of pure white soap cut into
shavings; boil for ten minutes after
the soap is thoroughly dissolved. Cool
in a china or glass dish. If put into
a glass jar and covered tightly It will
last two weeks. This paste will cleanse
kid gloves and satin slippers, remove
spots from woolen goods, and fresh
ink stains from carpets. It should be
always at hand in the kitchen. Tp re
move paint from clothing saturate the
spots two or three times with equal
parts of ammonia and turpentine and
then wash out in white soapsuds.
Washing Shirt Waists.
When washing shirt waists or mid
dies which have colored collar and
cuffs, the color will sometimes run into
the white goods. To remove this stain
place the article in very sour butter
milk for four to five days, keeping the
goods well under the milk. The color
will disappear from the white goods
and the colored collar and cuffs will
remain as before, I have tried this in
a number of cases of different articles
and find it entirely satisfactory.—New
York Press.
Lunch Muffins.
Five tablespoonfuls condensed milk,
three-fourths cupful water, two cup
fuls flour, three ounces butter, two tea
spoonfuls baking powder, two eggs,
pinch of salt. Mix flour, salt and bak
ing powder and sift twice. Beat eggs,
without separating, until light, and add
the milk diluted with water. Add this
mixture and the butter which has been
melted to the flour. Beat well and
bake in greased muffin tins for about
20 to 30 minutes. —Pictorial Review.
Grape and Cheese Salad.
Get some nice white Malaga or To
kay grapes; slit one side open and
with the tip of a small knife take out
the seeds. Pile them on lettuce or
