the form er councilmen—Sanford and
N osier— and moved th a t they be ex
tended a vote of thanks and ap p recia
tion, which w as voted unanim ously.
In p u ttin g the motion, M ayor Johnson
said th a t one m ain reason he had fo r
m aking a change in the office of city
tre a su re r was the faith fu l, high order
of service rendered by Mr. Sanford
for several years, and he thought he
had earned recognition by the city of
a m ore su b stan tial n atu re th an the
m ere honor of holding office.
Recorder Law rence also thanked Mr.
Sanford fo r the assistance he had giv
en in various m a tte rs of city business
and Mr. Sanford fittingly expressed
his sincere appreciation of the sen ti
m ent shown by the council, m ayor and
recorder, and volunteered his services
to the new council in any w ay in
which he could help in the considers
tion of old m a tte rs of city affairs.
The newly elected councilmen all
m ade sh o rt talks, expressing th eir de
sires to work fo r the best in te rests of
the city.
The m ayor called on Leo J . C ary—
“the sage of F ro n t s tre e t’’— and a
fo rm er councilman. Mr. C ary said he
hadn’t m issed the first session of a
city council for fo u r years and didn’t
w ant to slight th is one was the reason
fo r his presence. He then asked for
inform ation about the F irs t stre e t
case which had been finally decided
th a t day by Judge Coke. In order to
secure the inform ation it w as decided
to adjourn till next Tuesday a t 7:30 p.
m., when the F irs t stre e t property
ow ners, the a tto rn ey s and the council
would m eet fo r an amicable a d ju s t
m ent of the m inor points left by the
ju d g e's decision for settlem ent.

R hubarb is Easily Grown and Can Bo
Bought Cheaply.
The value and use of rh u b a rb as a
p a rt of the diet a re stro n g ly em pha
sized by dom estic science experts. It
is pointed out th a t th is fru it is easily
raised and can be obtaned a t a re aso n
able price on the m arket, and is th e re
fore w ithin the »each of every fam ily.
In general, the effect of the use of
rhubarb is the sam e a s th a t of o ra n g
es, except th a t it contains oxalic acid
which m akes it unsuitable for people
afflicted with gravel. A lthough it is
botanically a vegetable, it is g e n era l
ly used as a “ fru it.” R hubard is e s
pecially beneficial in the sp rin g when
the system has been nourished on
heavier food, and because it becomes
available earlier than m ost o ther veg
etables.
Suggestions are also advanced for
the preparation of rhubarb for table
use, and several recipes a re given, two
of which are as follow s:
-
R hubarb Fie
1% cups rhubarb sta lk s cut in % inch
pieces, % cup sugar, 2 eggs. 3 tab le
spoons cracker criftnbs. Mix sugar,
cracker crum bs and egg, add rhubard
and bake in open c ru st as for cu stard
pie. M ake a m eringue of the egg
w hites, cover pie and brown in slow
oven.
Steam ed R hubarb Sauce.
1 q u a rt rhubard c u t in % inch piec
es, 2 cups sugar. C ut off the leaves
and the root and w ash the stalks, and
cut in one-half inch lengths. P u t the
rhubarb into a double boiler, add the
sugar, mix well and cover the boiler

Red Cross 1 onight
A p a rt of preparedness for w hat
w ar will necessitate for our people is
the nursin g in hospitals and on the
battle fields which the Red Cross is
organized to provide. This is som e
th in g th a t the people of the nation are
expected to put up for, aside from all
the governm ent does. A cam paign is
now on to secure an av erag e of $1.00
each from the people of the U nited
S ta te s for Red Cross w ork. A m eet
ing to s ta r t the ball rolling for Co
quille and vicinity will be held here
on Tuesday evening next, Ju n e 12.
Some fu rth e r inform ation in reg ard
to th is m eeting and the cam paign for
funds to be undertaken in this county
will be found in the follow ing day let
te r which F . E. M cKenna received
W ednesday from C harles H all, of
M arshfield:
A t a m eeting of the W estern D ivi
sion of the Red Cross, held in P o rt
land Monday there were in attendance
rep resen tin g Coos County, H ugh Mc
Lain, L. J . Sim pson, Dr. Dix, J. T.
Brand and m yself. T hree of us re
turned yesterday and the oth ers are
re tu rn in g today.
The qestion of financing the Red
Cross for its activities in F rance is
the problem for consideration.
The apportionm ent for Oregon, for
Coos county and for Coquille and the
contiguous te rrito ry has been made.
The g re a t drive for these funds will
be m ade during the week of the eigh
teenth to tw enty-fifth of June.
All details will be subm itted a t a
prelim inary m eeting which we will
hold in Coquille Tuesday night, the
12th. None of those who a re about
to en te r the service and a re liable to
be called a t an early d a te should be
asked to particip ate in the work.
A t this m eeting, it is planned to
p erfect a u n it of the county org an iza
tion. Mr. L. G. Nichols, m an ag er for
the sta te will be present.
A t this tim e it is desired to form an
organization so com plete th a t every
individual in your te rrito ry will have
a n opportunity to subscribe to this
hum ane undertaking. It is the plan
of the Red Cross to have available
com plete equipm ents, sufficient sup
plies and w ell-m anned units on the
battlefields of France p rior to the real
need which is sure to develop. In fact
our Allies a re now suffering from in
sufficient Red Cross activities. Sac
rifice will be the keynote of the cam
paign.
This is an o pportunity for
those who will not or can not serve
on the battlefield, to m ake th eir small
contribution to the continued exis
tence of Democracy and I.ibery.
