Cheese Has Place
Important In Diet
Many farm .families have a surplus
f'nulk s<> the making of cheese in
the home has been a profitable dem0nstrn?
ion. To use plenty of cheese
j, one.way to use more milk. The
^heeso contains most of the food
-value of milk, and it also has the
"advantage of keeping longer than
milk and in being used in ways that
milk cannpt. , ;
We are reminded by the Bureau of
Homo Economics that cheese is not
just something to season or flavor
something else?a condiment, o^ accessory,
but it is a substantial foo<*
and good in a main dish. Cheese
contains many of the food values as
meat for it is rich in protein, fat
calcium, phosphorus and in vitamin
It is a concentrated food and too
much of it should not be eaten at one
time. It should be eaten at a meal
where at least a fruit and two vegetables
are served.
Because eh?*se contains so much
protein, it should bo cooked at u very
low temperature. Most cheese dishes
'should be cooked over water or in a
very slow oven. Cheese makes a
valuable addition to oven dishes,
cream sauces and various soups.
Macaroni or rice, or noodles scalloped
with tomatoes and cheese makes a
full meal in one diSh. Corn meal
mush served with tomatoes and cheese
is very delicious. It is much like the
Italian '.'Polenta" in food value.
Grated cheese over the top of a casserole
of mixed vegetables is another
one-dish meal.
Cottage cheese is easy to make and
can be used in as many different
ways. It may be seryed as a main
dish or combined with fruits or vegetables.
Miss 'Sadie Craig, the homo
agent, has given fourteen demonstra- ,
tions in making cottage cheese. Two
hundred and sixty-five women were
present. She used the following recipe:
3 quarts thick clabber; 1 teaspoon
salt; 1-8 teaspoon paprika; 6
tablespoons thick cream or melted
butter.
Line a colander with cheese cloth
and set in a dish pan. Place clabber
in colander and pour hot water slowly
through the clabber until the curd
begins to harden slightly. When it
has drained add the salt, paprika and
cream or butter. The milk should be
thoroughly clabbered or coagulated.
Making American cheese is another
recipe that Miss Craig used in her
lemonstration. This recipe was giv?n
her by Mrs. J. E. Hough, a mem)er
of the Three C's club. It has
>een used very successfully by many
)f the home demonstration club memxts.
The following is the recipe:
r.\o gallons of clabber makes one
juart of curd. Put clabber on back
>f stove and let it become very hot
tutting through milk .until all has
>eon heated. Strain through muslin
>ag pressing out. all water.
Measure one quart of curd. Mix
vith curd 1-2 cup fresh butter (addng
one teaspoonful butter coloring
a butter) add 1 1-2 teaspoonfuls
>oda; mix thoroughly and let stand
ibout 2 hours. Place in datable 'boiler
iver a slow fire. When mass begins
0 heat add 3-4 quart thick sour
ream. 2 teaspoonfuls salt; stir contantly
and continue stirring until all
'tain is gone and it becomes smooth
s butter; pour into molds well
Teased with fresh butter and when
old it may be rolled in paraffin and
cp" nr may be eaten fresh.

SILVER has beeu In the spotlight
with gold, during recent months
In which money standards, commodity
prices, and International
debts have been the leading topics of
discussion among the world's financial
experts. n
Through Its long, glittering cureer
'silver has swayed the destiny of men
and nations.
In the romnnce and adventure of
mining, man's bold quest for silver
led to war, to daring exploration, and
to conquest of savage lands.
First of metals widely used as money,
silver slowly turned primitive barter
Into buying and selling, and, In tbe
' rise of civilization, made It easier and
simpler to enjoy fixed wages and
prices.
Steadily, through the ages, man has
used more and more silver In his arts
and trades, till today It Is Been In endless
things, from sterling punchbowls
to motion-picture film.
Again today, as in the Free Silver
frenzy of 1890/this pale, chaste metal
looms large In the world's eye. How
to raise Its buying power, how to stabilize
It, were some of the riddles for
the World Monetary/ an? Economic
congress, aBsemble(^n\t/ondon, last
summer. Already (Treat Ilrltaln has
paid us part of her debt In silver, and
various nations urge Its wider use In
monetary systems.
Repeatedly in financial history men
have sought cures for money maladies |
In some appeal to silver. For more '
than 2,()00 years It was the world's J
chief medium of exchange. Listen to- i
day to native gossip in any bazar of >
the Orient, and in tireless repetition j
you hear the local words for sliver
coins?kran, rupee, anna, piaster, peso, I
yen. Over and over you hear them, ;
like a theme song of commerce. [
In Far East bazars sliver still forms
the fluent, common coin of dally use;
for our own convenience we still circulate
dimes, v quarters, half dollars,
and, in the West, big cartwheel dollars,
though silver was officially demonetised
In 1873.
The Drama of Silver.
Trace the strange, checkered drama
of silver through the centuries, and
you see how vividly It parallels man's
own dramatic conquest of nature and
his rise to higher standards of life.
Tradition says the world's first sliver
mine lay somewhere around the
Mediterranean. The ancients linked
silver with Luna; its symbol was a
crescent moon. "Lunar caustic," or
silver nitrate. Is so derived. Man's
search for it, according to Greek
myths, was a moon-madness.
As early as f>00 It. C. taxes from all- j
ver mines figured in the Athenian budget.
Roth Xenophon and Aristotle
told of their wealth, and Strnbo. writing
about 30 B. C.. tells of their being
exhnusted, as all mines eventually are.
For more than two centuries Mexico
has been the world's greatest
source of silver, mining in that time
more than five billion dollars' worth.
In 1932 she mined nearly half of all
the world's output of new silver.
When his daughter married, a Mexican
of the Alamos district lined the
bridal chamber with silver plates and
paved the path to the chapel with the
same pale metal.
There Is an oft-told tale In Mexico
of a Spanish widow who owned the
famous Dona Maria mine. She packed
40 mules with about four tons of gold
and silver and set out for the coast, (
planning to spend the rest of her life |
in Spain. Sim disappeared mysterious- ,
ly and so did Iter vast treasure.
Countless tunnels honeycomb the I
silver laden hills about Paeliura. first j
worked by Spaniards in 1M54. Here
the Real del Monte rivals its neighbor, j
the Santa Gertrudis. as the world's j
leading silver mine. From it. in early .
days, a muleteer named Pedro Tor
reros grew so rleh that he presented J
the king of Spain with several war- j
ships, and was given the title "Count
of Snn-ta Maria de Regis."
In Peru, ns in Mexico, the ancients
worked the^mines and made exquisite
figures of silver and gold. The Incna
lire credited with having made gar
dens in which trees and plants were
imitated In precious metals; the flow
ers and fruits were mtfde In gold, the
rest of the plant in silver.
Mines In the Wee*.
In our western states, where we now
mine the bulk of our silver, most pf .
It la found mixed with other metala.
Our greatest atralght iWftr to
the Sunshine, ncur Kellogg, Idaho.
Our richest Hllver producer, however,
is the Anaconda Copper Mining company;
It obtains most of Its silver
from Its copper-zlnc-sllver mines at
Butte, Mont. , . '
Accidental discovery, In 1S58, of the
colossal Comstock Silver I/Ode, on the
eastern slope of Mount Davidson In
Nevada excited the whole world. The
stupendous wealth It was to yield
wrote a lurid chapter In the history
of our West.
One mine, the Gould and Curry,
bought for a bottle of whisky, an old
horse, some blankets and $2,500 in
cash, was valued at more than $7,500,000
four years later!
The singular tale of bow this Cornstock
Lode was found never grows
old. Lured west after the California
gold rush of '49 came two Irishmen,
O'Rlley und Mclaughlin. Working for
gold on their claim by the Carson river,
they threw aside some odd-looking,
heavy blue rock as worthless.
Then along came Henry Comstock,
a restless trapper and fur trader.
Smarter than the other* he recognized
the blue rock, staked a claim adjacent
to theirs, and "by pure bluff Induced
them to waive their rights to the rock
and be content with the surface gold
they found."
That blue rock, rich sliver ore, assayed
nearly $4,000 a ton.
News of this epoch-making And
spread like prairie Are, and fortune
hunters scrambled for claims.
"Rough-haired mustangs, , gaunt
mules, and sure-footed burros climbed
the Sierras loaded with blankets, bacon
flour, kettles, pans and shovels,
says an early geological survey report.
Miners swarmed the hills. Th'n
wreaths of smoke rose from hundreds
of little campflres, and the sharp
strokes of picks startled the lizards
among the rocks."
Silver Rush to Nevada.
As In the gold rush, so once more
city merchants shut up shop, sailor^
deserted1 their ships, and clerks quit
their desks, swelling' the army that
rushed pell-mell to Nevada, where new
towns bloomed like mushrooms, with
the saloons, quick-lunch stands, dance
halls, and dives that made life lurid
In the hectic, roaring camps.
Later, men struck that giant ore
body, the Big Bonanza. No single sib
ver ore body has ever poured forth
wealth at such an astounding rntetln
a single month ore valued at $0,000.000
was mined.
<*o vast was this underground quest
for treasure that hy 1S80 the length
of shafts and tunnels exceeded 150
miles. Often houses among surface
camps tottered or collapsed where the
undermined earth was sinking. In the
Yellow Jacket shaft, 3.005 feet down,
a flow of hot water was struck the
temperature of which was 170 degrees
Fahrenheit.
One discovery followed another, till
Utnh. Idaho. Montana. Colorado and
other western states tdok rank as silver
regions Hostile Indians, death
from cold, thirst, and hunger, duels to
death over disputed claims, coldblooded
murder and the dynamiting of
mills, as in the Coeur d'Alene strikes
nil are warp nnd woof of our silver
gaga when the West was wild.
Their shafts only 100 feet apart, the
GolfVen Chariot nnd Ida Elmore mines,
near Eagle Mountain, Idaho, became
the stage of a conflict that for novelty
Is wltiBput parallel In mining history.
Far tmnerground, where rival tunnels
Intercepted, men with gun* fought to
death over disputed silver. Hired
gunmen patrolled* the mines till, in
1SGS. United States soldiers came, and
only martial law kept order.
SHcer Is so much a part of world
trade*that Its changing price figures
In the daily news. Is quoted on the National
Metal exchange in New York,
and affects the prices of life's necessities
among the hordes of tlie Orient.
Because China retains the silver standard
In her money, sliver's price per
ounce Is of vital Interest to nil merchants
everywhere who buy nnd sell
In China.
Silver ns a metal, is a commodity.
In the form of. bars It figures in the
arts and Industries and In the metal
trade. In some countries It Is also
the standard of value; In many other
lands throughout the world where It
is not the standard, it nevertheless Is
much nsed ns subsidiary money.
That I* the case In the Gnltedr.
States. While we freely use silfe^
coins, stiver Is realIjsa commodity and
net a standard of rata*
Convicts Siain In
Attempted Escape
W?ll? Walla, Wash., Feb. 12.?A
torrent of crashing machine gun bul-1
lets, mowing a swath among 40 armed !
and rioting convicts, today ended one :
of the bloodiest uprisings in the his- '
tory of the Washington State pent- 1
tentiary, with six men reported sluin
and 12 reported injured.
[ forty crafty felons, armed with
butcher knives and improvised weapons,
were standing in the cell blocks
after luncheon, waiting to be locked
in, when their attack broke out simultaneously
in the wings of the prison,
j Overpowering guards, the convicts
rushed to the oft ice of Chief Turnkey
Williams, brandishing their knives.
Dramatically, the telephone rang?
it was Warden McCpuley, calling on '
business. The . prisoners told Williams
to answer the phone and givo i
no intimation of what was taking'
place. With cold steel nudging his
.back, Williams did as they said. The I
J warden noticed,, that his voice was 1
| strained, however, and called back.
This time Assistant Turnkey Jackson
was forced to assure him everything
was "all right."
Certain something was wrong, McCauley
placed extra guards on the
walls and around the main gate.
Then the convicts rushed the gate.
With the captured guards as a
shelter, they shouted for it to be
opened.
1 T .
J Instead of yielding, the guards
opened fire with seven machine guns
and several rifles, aiming carefully to
avoid hitting the captured guards, and
singling out the ringleaders of the
riot.
Above the crash of shots, the prison
siren signalled a riot, and the warden
called for the Washington national
guard.
| Within half an hour Gapt. Fred C.
Hoeoker, had mustered Company F,
161st Infantry, equipped with rifles,
bayonets and steel helmets, and the
infantrymen were stationed on the
walls. Not a convict escaped, the
' warden skid.
j Shortly after 3 o'clock, the rioters
had been subdued and the unwounded
ones Ipcked in solitary confinement.

I Ernest Wright, farm hand, after
grilling by sheriffs officers, finally
confessed that he beat Miss Alice
Martin, retired circus performer near
Evansville, Ind., to death on her farm
because she had withheld $2.75 from
his wages because of damages he had
done to a farm wagon. He at first
claimed that the killing was done by
an unknown man who visited the
farm.
Police of Jacksonville, Fla., are trying
to solve the mystery of the deaths
of two elderly women in a ^uburb of
j that city. Mrs. Laura Mae Green, 84,
J and her daughter, Mrs. Mary Rae
Anderson, 60, were found dead in
their home, the mother stabbed
through the heart and the daughter
beaten to death with a hammer. One
theory is that the elder woman became
suddenly insane and killed her
daughter with a hammer and then
took her own life.
Master Mechanic William Mintz, of
i Monteagle Valley, Ontario, has been
notified that he has a legacy in England
of $250,000, left to him by a

Airplane Designer
Falls To His Death
Zantford D. Granville, 33, president
of the Granville Aircraft Corporation,
of Springfield, Mass., and Now York
City, and designer of racing planes,
was fatally injured late yesterday
when his plane went into a spin over
Spartanburg Memorial Airport and
crashed from about seventy feet.
Mr. Granville was unconscious
j^hen ho was pulled front the titty
"stunt" ship and died en route to the
hospital here. His body was removed
to the Floyd Mortuary where it is being
held pending the completion of
arrangements to send it back to
Springfield.
Granville first appeared over Spartanburg
* front the northeast and
zoomed ovty- the field at an estimated
speed of 100 or 150 miles per hour,
witnesses said.
At the northwest corner, the flyer
apparently cut the throttle and went
J into a bank preparatory to coming
'down. The ship, then only about 70
feet above the ground, slipped into a
spin and crashed on the edge of the
field.
The plane struck nose first, spun
around twice and dropped back on
its undercarriage.' The motor was
|almost sheared off by the impact and
j was d-riven baek into the fuselage.?

Cotton Contest To Be
Resumed This Year
Clomson College, Feb. 10.-?<Tho
South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers
[ Association having offered to donate
$22,000 for premiums to farmers, Iho
state-wide cotton contest will he conducted
again this year after a lapse
of two yeaYs, announces Dr. W. W.
Dong, director of the Extension service.
The cotton contest, begun in 1020
by the Extension Service for butter
staple and more economic yields, was
continued? annually through 1031,
premium money having been g^von
the tlrst year by The State Company,
Columbia, and thereafter by the Cotton
Manufacturers Association. There
was no contest in 1032 or 1032, hut v
demonstrations to the same end were
conducted by county farm agents.
A great improvement in cotton
staples resulted from the contests,
says It. W.? Hanjjl ton, extension agronomist
in charge of the work, who
{says in this connection:
"In 1020, loss than 20 per cent of
I the South Carolina cotton crop was
15-1G inch in length or longer. During
the next five years, when contests
were held, the length increased over
the state until 75 per cent of the 1032
crop was 15-10 inch or longer. In
1033, the second year after the last
contest, the average for a crop docreased
so that only 05 per cent of
it was 16-16 inch or longer."
Mr. Hamilton points out that ft
good staple is more important now
than ever before because of tho reduction
in cotton acreage as a result
of tho government program.
Rules for the contest this year will
be announced soon by l>r. Ix>ng. All
' the $2,000 donated by the association
will go for premiums.
