In the garden she grew enough sweet corn, not only for summer use, but also to dry for the winter, in the attic. . Small fruits she canned or made into jellies or She also canned tomatoes and peas and string al besides drying lima and pea beans and storing them. The cellar held a fine stock of potatoes and beets and cabbage and turnips and carrots and par- snips, to say nothing of cider and apples. Squashes and pumpkins, too, kept a long time. Remember how eg they tasted at Thanksgiving and Christmas? ¢ pigs ate the refuse and the sour milk, and in the winter they went into sausage or into the smoke house. In the back yard were barrels of wood #shes, whence came the lye with which grandma made her own soap, both soft and hard, and hulled and bleach- ed the field corn into hominy. Fact is, about all she had to buy was sugar and clothing and maybe a few barrels of flour.

MEMBER OF SCRIPPS NORTHWEST LEAGUE OF, Vablitshed Dally by ox -The Truth About the Progressives UST as, a few months ago, the standpat organs were try- J ing falsely to give the impression that there has been) an amalgamation of the progressive and the republican par- ties, so now they are industriously on the job lending false color to every election result obtainable For months they kept up lurid descriptions of the decay of the progressive party in California. And what was the actual result? Progressives were so plentiful in California that they not only nominated their own ticket from top to bottom, but also nominated five of the bull moose state candidates on the republican and democratic tickets as well Gov. Johnson will be re-elected in California, and Francis Heney will be sent to the United States senate as a bull moose. | You don’t hear the standpat organs saying much about California these days, do you? *The same results may be looked forward to in Wash-|. ington. The bull moose party was the only one which gained in the number of votes cast at the primaries, Septem ber 8, as compared with the primary vote two years ago The republicans lost almost 25,000 yotes this year, as com pared with their primary vote two years ago The demo crats lost heavily also. Ole Hanson's election to the ate is generally cor ceded. And what happened in the state of Maine, in the other end of the country? Two years ago the progressives did not even have a candidate for governor. This year they did Two years ago, a republican, Gov. Haines, was elected by something like 75,000 votes. Haines was elected as a Roose velt supporter. This year he failed to join the progressive party, which had just been organized in Maine. And when he ran as a republican he was surely and swiftly defeated. He fell 5,000 votes below his vote of two years ago. The truth is, that the fate of the progressive party and the republican party and the democratic party are all come will be hanging in the balance. No one can predict what the out Chis much is certain: It will not be decided before the presidential election of 1916, THE CHURCH There's no way that we know of to go back to grandma’s time. But her experience suggests @ thought. n the country food is still plentiful, apples rot on the ground and if you could buy at the country price and charge on only what it costs to move the stuff and distribute it, there wouldn't be so Many palaces owned by millionaire middlemen and_ there would be a good deal more comfort among the 95 per cent. A problemr-of the public welfare, isn’t it; a kind of choice between whether a few shall go on getting richer way beyond any earthly need or the many have enough to eat? e should call this a religious problem. Jesus, you remember, often fed the multitude; for He saw He couldn't get far with His counsels of per- fection if the folks He wanted to teach had to endure the gripings of empty stomachs. We wonder if our churches haven't been confin- ing themselves too closely to furnishing food for the spirit only. Perhaps if they took their many earnest young folks who are waiting for a chance to get into the game of social service and harnessed them for a cam- aign of co-operative buying—not simply on a self- ish basis, to keep the high-cost wolf from their own doors alone, but to help drive it away from the many doors to which the churches usually bring only “charity” or platitudes—it might prove the beginning of a real revival of church influence and moral authority. ind one an Aberdeen man.

HAN AN AUTHOR'S PROPHECY Editor The Star I find this prophecy among my clippings. It scems very appropriate at this time: Victor Hugo wrote many years ago: “A day will tome when the ly battle field will be the market n to commerce and the mind n to new fdeas, A day will come when bullets and bombshells will be replaced by votes, by the unt versal suffrage of nations, by the venerable arbitration of a great sovereign senate which will be to Europe what the pariiament is to England, what the diet ts to Ger- many, what the legislative assem-| bly is to France. A day will come when a cannon will be exhibited tn public museums just as an instro- ment of torture is now, and people will be astonished how such a thing could have been. A day will come when these two immense groups, the United States of Amer. ica and the United States of Europe, shall be seen placed in presence of each other, extending the hand of fellowship across the ocean.” LUCY T. GUILD, ANSWERS DR. McBRIDE Editor The Star: Dr, McBride's letter recently published concern- ing myself and the Ryther home was very misleading. When he in spected the premises he was in the house only 20 minutes. He gave my age as 79, 14 years older than I really am. I can prove to any one who will investigate that my capabilities are equal to any 40-year. old woman, And I am an expert cook. Dr. McBride said the food given the children was lacking in quality and quantity. He has not the least idea what the children eat DOOR OR DRAWER PULL.....
