The New York Times says man doubtless will er achieve anything as fine as blueberry pie. To what can it be compared?” asks New York's| greatest newspaper in the world. “To the honey in comb? To a bank of wild thyme?” But the Times'’s. editorial is not the theme s comment. It appears elsewhere and speaks Iar; What we want to y is that Alaska is the eberry’s Elysium. Those who have not eaten eberry pie in Alaska know little about the luscious And there is no section of Alaska where biue- berries grow larger and richer and sweeler than here in the vicinity of Juneau. And nowhere on | earth do people know what to do with blu!-berrwsl’ better than local blueberry pie makers. of | “ALFALFA BILL” OR “COCKLEBUR BILL” BECOMES “DOLLAR BILL.” Gov. Willilam H. Murray of Oklahoma is a tur- bulent soul. He was one of the authors of Okla- homa's “crazy-quilt” Constitution. He consented to amend the Constitution to meet Presidential ob- Jjections when President Taft refused to approve it or issue a proclamation announcing the admis- sion of the State. Then, as Speaker of the first State House of Representatives, after Oklahoma had become one of the States of the Union, he was influential in submitting as amendments everything that had been obnoxious to the President and getting the amendments adopted into the Constitution. Then he roared in Congress until he became convinced that it was no use. The country could not be) managed as Oklahoma had been. He then took a colony of farmers down to Bolivia to establish a| model State. That failed and he hied himself back to his old battleground. Ten years went by and he became Governor. In that office he has been per- forming in the same old manner—the manner that earned for him the nickname “Alfalfa Bill” in part! of the State and “Cocklebur Bill” in another part.| Gov. Murray’s latest fad seems to be command- ing the National Guard, in which he recently made Post and Gatty Colonels. He led the Guard to the Oklahoma end of a Red River Bridge recently and refused to permit Texans to cross it into his State. The bridge difficulty being cleared up, he led the Guard into the Tulsa oil fields and shut down the wells when owners refused to abide by an agreement not to sell oil for less than one dollar a barrel. The New York Times now predicts that in the Tulsa region he will be “Dollar Bill" Murray, a name that will compete with “Alfalfa Bill” Murray of Western Oklahoma and “Cocklebur Bill” of Eastern. Now, “Alfalfa Bill,” or “Cocklebur Bill,” or “Dollar Bill,” as you may prefer, has announced that he will “take” the Democratic nomination for Vice-President. He has not yet said that he willl use the National Guard in the taking. In spite of all, breezy, good humored, energetic, generous, he retains a popularity second to none in his State.

Murray ! is as a cool, brawling stream. It makes a loud and agreeable noise. And the fact that it isn't going anywhere in particular does not rob the brooklet of its charm. The experiences Alaska tourists are having with brown bears will that certain enthusiasts have been circulating in an attempt to give these kings of the forest a repu-‘ tation of possessing a harmless disposition. After all the fuss about all those Japs did to Herndon and Panghorn was to delay their round the world flight. However, they already had lost their time race against Post and Gatty, so a few days more or less m have done no harm. The Democratic Roos:velt seems to be harder to stop when he starts out for an office than was the old Bull Moos: Roosevelt Blueberry Pie. (New Yorz Times.) Doubtless mankind could achieve something fin- er than blucberry pie, but doubtless mankind never will. To what can it be compared? 'To the honey in the honeycomb? To a bank of wild thyme? In the realm of idealizatjon, unlike things are all the ne. But bluberry pie shows its true colors (which | are blue on the bush though black in the mouth) | by comparison with its natural kitchen rivals. Com- | pare it, for instance, to that effete, magenta deli- cacy, the strawberry shortcake—a spongy space- filler, usually demoralized by a deluge of whipped cream® Strawberry shortcake is better than rasp- berry shortcake, which, in turn, is better than peach shortcake. But, strawberry shortcake lacks the stamina of blueberry pie. Blucberry pie has strength as well as beauty. The blueberry is a noble fruit, wrapped in a heaven-hued filament. country, on the upland pastures ani in scraggly | woods, pickers are silently kneeling to the bush. It is a hot and sober occupation, especially before celestia! jelly All over the in the morning. The first tiny berries give off a mocking tink as they drop into the bottom of the bucket. Only the knowledge that pails have been filled in the past encourages the picker to believe| that pails can still be filled in the present. Whoever began the tradition that pails must be filled must have been a vexing neighbor. That tradition has resolved bluberry-picking into torment of the flesh. Your good name in the neighborhood is at stake. Folks will talk. Even clean pickers who do do woman's work in the field by ex-| cluding the leaf, feel that they must come home not help along the propaganda’ | JEWELER HELD IN H. H.

Solitary pickers may slip home with a pail half filled; there is no records of solitary pickers. But no member of a family in good standing would dare come home with a clean rim of galvanized iron showing around the top of his pail. Berries may be good taken neat, or floating in a bowl of milk, or sprinkled on the morning cereal, but & blueberry grows ambitious when there is pastry about. In the vicinity* of flour, lard and baking-powder a blueberry changes from an esthetic to a sensuous organism. “Recipes for a Contented | Nation” gives the formula as follows: “Line a deep plate with paste and fill it with berries slightly dredged with flour; sprinkle with one-half cup sugar and one-eighth teaspoon salt; cover and bake forty to forty-five minutes over a slow fire”” Noth- ing is said in this recipe about lattica crusts, which are an abomination and offense to heaven. Nor is there anything to indicate that three cuts must be made in the center of the crust to let the spirit of blueberries rise free in the oven. But the rest is easy. Let the pie cool to the temperature of the room. Serve in wedges, letting the rich liquor run around the bottom of the plate. When the pie plate is empty, leave the table while rathcr‘ spoons up the residue.
