Any woman can prepare excellen: potato chips at home -if she will ob few fundamental rules, sayt the ted States Department of Ag riculture. To make a good crisp chip she must first select mature potatoes high in starch. Large or medium sized round, smooth potatoes witk shallow eyes are least wasteful to pre pare and make the best-looking chips Varieties of - the Irish Cobbler anc| Green Mountain groups, according tc| loeality, have given satisfactory re sults in respect to the quality and quantity of chips” produced. New potatoes in the spring and sum- mer do not make good chips. They should not be used before the skip sets. Manufacturers who nsa nata. Mechanical Slicer Is Preferable to Knjfe Slicer. toes In large quantities prefer old A waxy or soggy potato is a rable for making chips. A ety should be selected that is known to be mealy when haked or boiled. The raw_flesh should be firm and crisp when sliced. 'The size and shape. of the potato do not affect the cooking quality, but they influence the’quan- tity and appearance of the chips. Essentials for Success. When a mechanical vege le peeler ts used, round potatoes are ful than long ones. Deep eyes ¢ uw waste, difficulty in paring, mud ragged-looking slices. - A mechanical slicer is preferable to knife slicing be- cause it is impostant to have the chips of uniform thinness, and each sl evenly cut. Otherwise the chips cook unevenly, | After a study of various practices with regard to preparing and cooking the ed potatoes, it w found that thiere was no apparent advantage in saltwater bath sometimes recom- mended,, nor in the extra work in- volved in a hot-water bath followed by drying between towels. Cutting the ' potatoes into even thin slices with an aceurately adjusted yegetable sli sonking them thoroughly.in clear ter after an initial bath of cold run- ning water, draining, and frying thenf| in a clean, high-grade fat at a high| temperature were found to be essen- tials in producing ¢risp, high-quality chips. Cottonseed Oil Is Best. Many fats, including lard, lard and suet mixture, lard-like vegetable fats, | cottonseed, -corn, peanut and coconut oils, were experimented with for ing the chips. Olive oil was conside too expensive for ordinary use and was | not tried., The most satisfactory me- ditim was/found to be a high-grade.cot- tonseed oil, which was clear, hland, and practically flavorless. Its initial cost was lowest and there was a min- imum of waste in cooking. 'A compa ison of chips fried in different fats| demonstrated its superiority in be- havior during cooking and in the flavor of the finished product.

E. Chard, state high- way .construction engineer said “We re going in,” but an hour after the scheduled zero hour ,the highway forcés were watchfully waiting. “They won’t come here until they have a ullmrn.v, Whalen announced. That was all he would say. Whalen was down at his barricade fence erec- ted across the path of the highway. He didn’t have a gun. “Mr. Whalen hasn‘t had a shotgun in his hand since this thing started,” said his wife who' did most of the talking. “But they are not, going to put any- thing over on him.” .The highway department has ap- pealed from the award of $5,000 for. the Whalen land.' A temporary in- junction was granted to prevent Whalen interfering with the construc- tion program. Whalen doesn’t be- lieve in injunctions. Micheal Whalen won the first skir- mish against the highway department |itoday and the work of constructing a new road through his farm was holted for at least 24 hours. H. E. Chard, highway construction engin- eer, after a conference with Whalen ordered workmen to.hold up opera- tions for today. Chard, with the chief of police of Rosemount and Dakota ¢ounty dep- uties, went to Whalen’s home this morning in two automobiles and the conference lasted some time. News- wner men were not permitted to fter the conference Char re- turned to the construction camp and ed a written notice advising workmen not to start work on Whal- en’s farm_today. Whalen has threatened violence should the highway department go ahead without “authority.”” Whalen's idea of the proper ~authority is a || cheek for $5,000 which the highway department has refused to pay be- cause they believe the sum too great.

X SETTLED MATTER OF WEIGHT Lost Tires Had to Account for Many Pounds of Air Avowedly Pumped Into. Them, You never can tell what is going to happen in a golf game. Yeste we were not playing so well, but we were enjoying the company of a_friend mightily. Then he gzave us this one: “Had twoe tires stolen off the car the other night. The wife had had the car. all day and left it ouf in front of the house while we were at dinner. Kound. the tirés gone when we came out. Got to talking about this Dbit of knavery -and. wondered how the rogues got away with them. ‘Those _tires are heavy, I sug- gested. They must have had a rig to carry them in.’ That led the wife to wonder just how, heavy the tires ‘were anyhow. “‘Oh, 1 don't know,” I replied. ‘I fancy that one of those tires must have weighed at least 50 pounds’ “‘How silly!” the wife retorted. ‘Tt must have weighed a whole lot more than that, for I had 75 pounds of air put into It just this morning.” " = Agreed With Him. There is no branch of art in which there is more pretense than in music. The trouble lies’in the fact that music is a matter of appreciation. as’ well as performance, and when a per- son likes a thing it is rather hard.to tell him he does not. Yet the discerning can posntlvely know that such a one. totally with- ,out study or musical knowledge,. simply cannot appreciate a certain musical work, any more than one to- tally Ignorant of books could really like Gibbon's “Decline and Fall of the Roman_ Emplre. A Yet what terrible bluffs such peo~ ple put up! T A musician was discussing opern g with a woman. “You know,” he zafid, ‘I am fin favor. of singing all operas n this country. in- English. I think.it pref- erable from every standpoint.” #1/do,’ too,” she gushed, “Why, I heard ‘The Mikado' in Engllsh. and liked it very.much.” e Never Liked Early Rising. In a recently published biography of William. Ewart Gladstone ,and Mts. Gladstone by Lheu- duup.hter, Mrs. Mary Drew, she relites that until past eighty, they from a sense of duty rose enrly every morning .and . attended church. seryice before breakfast, not varying their custom no ‘matter wh'lt the. weather might be. But this prac- tice il not nmke them 1ike early ris- ing. Both of them always hated to get up early and years did not cure them. Mr. Gladstone once owned that the struggle never grew less and that it was as hard to get out of bed for the morning service every day after he “ns seventy as when he was haif that wge. “I'll contribute & muuon aottars 1o your campaign fund!” said the en- thusiastic friend. “No,” rejoined Senator Sorghum in tones of gentle regret. ‘“You mean well, but you are one of these chaps who inadvertently make .an election an insignificant matter . compared to the subsequent investigation.” Testing Mother’s Sympathy. “Mother,” said. little George, “don't vou, feel sorry for that poor,_ little dog? He looks hungry.” "Yew" said’ his. mother, "get him a plate ‘of food.” After George h:u] fed him he said: “Mother, do you feel sorry, enough to let him stay all night?” For the Gum Chewers.
