NOT EXTRAVAGANCE—INVEST
MENT.
It Is not expenditure, hut ex
trnvaganoe, that we should fear
being criticised for, not paying for
the legitimate enterprises and un
dertakings of a great government
whose people command what It
should do, but adding what will
benefit only a few or pouring
money out for what need not have
been undertaken at all or might
have been postponed or hotter and
more economically conceived and
carried out. The nation Is not
niggardly; It Is very generous. It
will chide ua only lr we forget for
whom we psy money out and
whose money It Is we pay,—The
President's Message.
The republican press, In Its worthy
effort to obstruct any movement for
the country's good which might Inci
dentally bring credit and confidence
to the democratic party, has been
raging furiously over governmental ex
travagance and giving solemn warn
ings of the great necessity for holding
down all appropriations. This pose on
the part of the upholders of privilege
and enrouragera of graft would, aa a
contemporary remarks, he amusing at
any time, hut to hear the republicans
now sobbing; at the height of their
weary voices lor fear the democrats
will expend the public money for things
that will be of real and lasting vsluo
to the public Is simply fantastic. The
president seems to have kept account
of the campaign work which the re
publican press has been doing on this
line and In the above worda has neatly
provided an ample and satisfying an
swer to all this foolish work for oh
struction of the merchant marine bill.
The republicans do not aeem to fear
waste and loss but they are In deadly
fear of Investment. It Is quite natu
ral that they should fight with tren
ded heat against this policy. Its es
tablishment will not leave money lying
around loose for special appropriations
and graft; neither Is It likely that the
people will ever again return to old
tariff fallacies when international
trade begins to grow and give proof
of the value of unrestrained exchange
bet ween nations.
The building and operating of gov
ernment-owned ships is to the com
merce of this whole country what the
good roads movement Is to country
snd town territories. The call for
American ships Is Imperative. Oppor
tunity knocks at our door and some
means must be promptly found to open
It. This Is s great constructive move
ment. which It Is simply pig-headed to
obstruct. As sure as this Is a nation
of clear-headed business men, the
movement will go through.
Save delay and annoyance
by doing your Christmas
shopping now. Shopping

FREDDIE AND THE STORK.
Freddie was 5 years old, and, while
he hail many playmates, he was al
was wishing for a brother. “Then ho
would always he around when I want
ed to play,” he explained to his moth
er one rainy day, "and I wouldn’t be
lonesome any more.”
SVANPBVHE l.if
sat down , v —»-ryr
under
A TWEE..
"Yon will have to write a letter to
the story," his father told him that
night.
Freddie could not write very well,
hut he Hsked his mother to write a
letter to the etork and put In it Juet
whitt he told her, and the next night
he handed this letter to hts fnther:
"Dear Mr. Stork: My name la Fred
erick Barton, but everybody call* me
Freddie, and you can address the baby
to Freddie; then 1 will he sure to get
It.
"I tvant a brother, not quite so hig
as I ant, 'cause brothers are always
bigger and llttler, nnd I rather have

STEALING A GOOD NAME
A
No theft is so serious as the theft of a
good name.
It is irreplaceable.
The man who tries to induce a cus
tomer to take something “just as good”
instead of an article of standard merft is
doing just that.
He is stealing another’s good name
for profit.
He is hurting a manufacturer and
hurting his customer.
Get what you ask for.
Do not deal with the man who offers
something “just as good.”
INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad
"I should like him to have blue eyes,
’cause mine are black. I sleep In room
right out of mother’s, and there is
plenty of room right in my bed. t’onld
you leave him so I can have him in the
morning. Yours truly,
“FREDDIE BARTON"
"Do you think that is a nice letter?"
asked Freddie.
"I certainly do," replied his father,
"and if that stork does not bring you a
brother 1 shall not think much of him.
Hut you know, son, that he plight not
have any brothers on hand just now.
nnd he might have to bring a. sister.
You never can depend on the stork to
bring Just what you asked for.”
"Shall 1 put it In the mail box?”
asked Freddie.
"No," said Ills fnther, “we will put It
in the fire place There isn't any ftrn
and the stork often comes down that
way nnd looks around. "
Soon after this Freddie went Into
the country to visit his grandfather,
and one day he saw a large bird flying
over the house. Freddie watched It and
saw It fly to the wood beyond the
farm. v
"That Is the stork looking for me,”
said Freddie, and off he ran toward
the woods. It was a long way to the
woods, and Freddie was tired when he
reached there, but he walked ntnong
the trees calling, "Mr. Stork, here is
Freddie Horton, if you are looking for
him."
H.v and hv he sat down under a tree
and went to sleep It was dark when
he awoke, anti when he thought of all
the pictures in hts hooks of hears and
other animals he began to cry.
Hut presently he heard the sound of
horn and then the barking of dogs,
and he stopped crying and listened.
"F-r-e-d-d-1-e," some one called.
"Here I am," he answered, as loud
as he could.
The horn sounded again, and then
his name w.ls called, and Freddie said,
"Here 1 am.” In a few minutes he
saw a torch and men who wore hunt
ing for him. One of them took him in
his arms, and Freddie was soon asleep
again.
In a few days Freddie's father came
for him and took hltn home.
Ills mother met him at the door ami
led him upstairs to her room. In the
corner stood a basket trimmed with
muslin and ribbons. “What is that?"
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Washington, D. C. —Following are the
directions given hy the poultry-dressing
specialists of the Department of Agri
culture for drawing a chicken at home:
(1) Hold the chicken by the legs and
run It quickly over the flame from a
loosely twisted lighted newspaper which,
for safety, may he Did in a coal bucket
rt- ash tray. This will remove the fine
hairs. Remove any pin feaihers with
the aid of a sharp small knife blade. The
charred hair mya be washed off later.
(2) Cut the legs ors well below the
knee joint. If the legs are cut above
the knee joint, the flesh on the drum
stick will he pulled back from the end.
(.21 Cut the head off, leaving as much
of the neck as possible, then push the
skin of the neck back and cut the neck
off quite close to the body. The en
velope of the remaining skin gives the
dressed bird a neater appenfance. The
neck hones with the adhering meat make
a valuable addition to the giblets. The
gullet and windpipe are. of course, on
the neck and must be pulled away.
(4) To remove the entrails, make an
incision about 2% Inches in length across
the abdomen and as close to the vent
us possible. In making this incision,
be careful not to penetrate the intestine.
Slip llie fingers In first, and gradually
Insert the whole band through the slit
Into the body cavity. Work the viscera
loose from Its attachments by sliding
(lie fingers ov-or tile inner surface of
the body walls. In tills way, after a
little practice, the viscera can be re
moved quickly and easily. The lungs
will almost invariably tear, leaving
shreds sticking to the hack. These, and
the kidneys of the chicken, which ave
two long dark red bodies lying ench
side of tile backbone and firmly fast
ened, should be removed in pieces The
rest of tile viscera, including the crop
which lies far front and Just under the
skin of the breast, when loosened will
come out in a mass through the Incision.
asked Freddie. "Go and look In it,”
said his mother.
His father held him up, and there
was a blue eyed baby. Freddie looked
a moment without speaking, then he
said: "It Is pretty little, but I suppose
he will grow.” ‘'Yes,” said his father,
she will grow fast. You remember
that I told you the stork might not
bring Just what you asked for, and he
has brought you a sister Instead of a
brother.”
”1 wanted a brother." said Freddie,
"but next to a brother I rather have
a sister, and 1 guess I was lucky to get
her, 'cause 1 ant sure he lost my let
ter. lie was so long getting here, hut
I do wish he had brought a larger
one."

SOUTH’S INTERCOLLEGIATE
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
Lexington, Ky.—Delegates from 23
southern universities and colleges
awaited today a recommendation hy
the executive committee of the south
ern Intercollegiate nthletic association
as to rules of eligibility of Its mem
bers. The committee considered the
question until late last night but could
arrive at no decision.
Many members of the conference are
insistent that the rule barring fresh
men from the football teams be abro
gated and that a four year playing
period he allowed.
Ball players who accept professional
or semi-professional engagements In
summer would also he allowed to play
on conference teams if a proposed rule
Is accepted. It was expected a num
ber of schedules for lnter-collelate
games would be announced today.
A CHRISTMAS STAR IN HOLLAND.
A quaint and impressive ceremo
nial Is observed in Holland on Christ
mas eve. At midnight the men of
the towns and villager meet, dressed
In varied costumes, in the public
squares. One is selected and Into his
charge is given a large illuminated
star mounted on a pole, and with this
star ns a guide- :\s the wise men were
guided to Bethlehem—a procession
winds through the strets. the men
chanting the "Gloria In Kxcclete." Af
ter the parade a great supper is serv
ed and the Christmas day has begun.
How to Draw a Chicken
The Intestine is still attached to the j
bird at the vent. To separate it clean- j
ly. the tube should be picked up just as
close to the vent as possible and its
contents pushed well back from the vent.
Then cut closely around the vent, hold- !
Ing the Intestine tightly between the
fingers to Insure cleanliness. Run a
stream of water through the slit into the
body cavity in such wise that it flows
out through the vent and cleans the
short piece of Intestine still remaining.
Then cut both vent and intestine away,
leaving a neat, round hole no larger
than Is necessary.
To prepare the giblets, detach the
heart, gizzard and liver, taking great
care not to break the little green gall
bladder attached to the liver, which
contains a very bitter liquid which, if al
lowed to escape, will give a bitter flav
or to the giblets and gravy. This gall
bladder ie so close to the liver that
some liver tissue must be cut away, to
be on the safe side. The color of a
healthy chicken liver may vary from
yellow to dark red. To prepare the giz
zard, hold It with the thin edge toward
the palm of the hand and make an in
cision the whole length along the thick
side, being careful merely to cut through
the muscle, hut not Into the Inner sac.
Then open the gizzard as you would a
pocketbook and remove the Inner sac
which Is full of gravel, If possible with
out breaking It.
Finally, wash the chicken and giblets
in clean, cold water, but do not let the
chicken soak In the water, because the
fineßt flavors of the meat and much nu
tritive material are dissolved In the
water.
Once the chicken is dressed and wash
ed, put it at once In the coldest place
available and keep It there until It is to
be put on the fire. The best way is to
dress it Just In time to go Into the
stove.
