Comparatively few pei sons accused of right to demand i . Y, but how often do they avail then selves of thatrighc? DiU~imypneJ??? I hear of a jury trial for a simple vii ation of the automobile speed law for example, or for fishing withoi a license? Yet everybody charge with any such minor offense coul ask for and have a jury trial if k insistde upon it. TWO GREAT JUDGES William Howard Taft ends a lift time of public service in his reth? ment from the Supreme Court bencl and the name of Charles Evar Hughes is added to the roster c great Americans who have filled tk post which many regard as great* than even Dial of Tresident, Ghi* Justice of the Supreme Court c the United States. Thirty different men have bee Presidents. Only eleven have bee Chief Justice, including Mr. Hughe Mr. Taft is the only man in our hi: tory who has filled both posts. H brought to the Supreme Bench a re< ord such as few men in America hav made. He made a career of publi service. After serving his" nativ vity ?i.s ex public attorney and a jUug he became, successivpiv General of the United States. Uni; ed States Circuit Judge. Govemoi General of the Philippines. Secretar fo War, Provincial Governor of Cub; then President of the United State; and after eight years as a professo at Yale University, Chief Justice o the Supreme Court. Mr. Taft was fortunate in bein independent of financial consider? tions. Mr. Hughes, who succeed him. has had to make his own wa n the world. Mr. Taft had the hap py faculty of holding himself aloo from partisan strife and even his pc litical opponents never displayed to j war.} him the bitterness which oth-Sers in similar oositions have aroused. I .Mr. Hughes has been move of a storui < ter, but none has ever challenged j I his devotion to his country's interests nor quesuon'ed his ability as one' . of the rcaliy jrr^i lawyers and iu- [ rists of America. His service as Secrotary of State and as a -Justice of; \ tin- Court which he now heads havej been stepping stones toward his ares-! eat exalted post. As the Chief Jus-; lice of the Vnited States he is above j and removed from party strife and there will be few. if any. who wil' not concede that in naming him as the successor :?? Jay. Marshal!. Chase, : Kuliei\ and the other illustrious i ' Americans who were his prcdeces-I * sors. President Hoover has made the ~ best possible choice. ; ''The Way of Life" By BRUCE BARTON HAVE YOU SEEN A MIRACLE? j There is an important distinction! that many people overlook. God made the world: but lie lues; not make your world. He provides the raw materials, and: ' out of them every man selects what I he wants and builds an individual j world for himself. The fooi looks over the wealth of material provided, and selects a few plates of ham and eggs. a few pairs I of trousers, a few dollar bills?and is satisfied. The wise man builds his world out i of wonderful sunsets, and thrilling ! experiences. and the song of the j stars, and romances and miracles. Nothing wonderful ever happens' j in the life of the fool, j An electric light is simply an elee-j | trie light; a telephone is only a tele-I phone?nothing unusual at all. Rut the wise man never ceases to : I wonder how a tiny speck of seed, ap1 parentlv dead and buried, can pro-! ! ciuee a beautiful yellow flower. He ! never lifts a telephone receiver or \ switches on an electric light that he j doesn't have a feeling of awe. And think what a miracle it is, this j j harnessing of electricity to the serv-i i ice of man! Who, unless his sense of awe had v! growr blunt, through constant familiarity. would believe it?

EVEJE Hints for the Home { !:> NANCY HART Pie made with 1 ?sh and bysicts* isSj nourishing and satisfying. To make; it. take the bones from boiled fresh cod ami Dull it to piece*-- To each I cup of fish add six oysters and half a cup of soup stock of any. kind. Season with salt and pepper and bake in a buttered bj ikinjr dish. cov- J ered with a thick layer of mashed potatoes. For curried oysters, drain and wash twenty-five oysters. Make on an ordinary pancake griddle. Throw the oysters, three or four at a time, on the griddle and brown on both sides. Lift quickly and place in a double boiler whi? h stands beside the griddle. When all the oysters are cooked add to them one tablespoon of butter, one-half tablespoon of flour one-half tablespoon of salt, one tablespoon 02" curry powder, and a dash | of cayenne pepper. Stir until the in-' giodbnts reach the boiling point and! add one tablespoon of lemon juice and one mall onion, grated. When You Sew When you baste, don't knot the' end of your thread. Start by making two stitches in the same place. This will hold the end of the thread, but when you wish to pull out the basting. there will be no knot to mar the , 1. .1, . * 1 . uvtn ? isinocproiiCSs. When you hem a skirt, take a double stitch every inch or Jess. This will make such a virm hem that if you riu a few stitches the rip will not extend more than an inch. When you make buttonholes first" mark them with a pencil. Then run a line of machine 'stitching all around the pencil mark. Then cut it and buttonhole it. The machine slitchine: helps to make a firmer button-! hole. When you wish to hem table linen., first run it through the sewing machine hemmer without any thread in the needle. You will then have a I neat, ever, hem turned, ready for J ttewing. ' IF FEED IS SHORT SOW SPRING OATS Oats provide one of the best grain j | feeds for work slock in hot*\veather. .and the farmer with two or three 1 mules, to feed and no grain to sup-! i ply them except what is ITOUgm. ; 'should plant, a few acres early this | spring. Spring-sown oats yield well ; in a favorable season. | ."A hungry mule will eat oats in; ; the bundle with relish,'* says <i. M. ; ( arrvn, cereal agronomist at. State' College. "A better ration can be preI pared, however, by getting out the j old t eed cutter and cutting the oat j ' bundles, mixing this with some wheat j bran, shorts or middlings. Some work! lis involved but a fine iced for work | j animals is secured. Any moderately J j fertile, well-drained land is. suitable J lot the crop. Prepare it well by j | V.; caking six er^even iiyehes. deeper i harrow and then use about four hun-! j dred pounds of an 8-4-4 fertilizer j 1 Miefore planting. l.ator if i;h*.-~younjr! | crop needs more fertilizer, top-dress' ; with about 7f> pounds an acre of ni- . . tvate of soda." Mr. Graven advocates the Fulg; hun\ or Burt varieties for Jspring ' sowing. Two and one-half bushels of 'seed an acre is suggested and the earlier the seed are planted after danger of freezing1 is over, the better crop will be produced. The young oat plantlet is easily killed just, as it peeps from the ground. Ordinarily, Mr. Garren recommends that outs be planted in the fail and he gives an instance where 7T7 bushels an acre was produced on 7.11 acres. If there is not enough feed on the place to carry* the livestock : until next harvest, however, spring oats will save the situation and this year, when everyone should attempt to live at home, sowing spring oats is an excellent temporary measure.
