You often hear it said that there
is a disagreeable, wild taste or flavor
about meats killed in the woods, held
and marshlands. It is true that unless
the meat of some kinds of field game
is properly cooked it does retain a
strong ilavor that most of us do not
relish. Especially is this true of the
meat of the rabbit. Yet it is one of
the most delicious of wild meats if
properly prepared, j'
Here is a method of cooking the
rabbit that eliminates every vestige of
the disagreeable taste, and results in
one of the most nourishing and del
ectable of foods that the woods and
fields furnish:
After dressing separate the game
into live parts the front and hind
quarters and the piece across - the
kidneys (which, by the way, is the
most deliciously flavored part of the
rabbit) and place in strong salt water
over night, or for a period of eight
hours at least. Take the game out
of this salt water at the proper time
and wash thoroughly under running
water if possible, until it is clean of
all salt and blood. . Now place m
clear water and boil over a slow fire
until partly done; then lift out again
and wash under running water,
in this second operation strive to
remove all the outside tissue which
has been cooked loose. It is this tis
sue which gives the game its strong
navor.
Place in clear, clean water again
and boil until the meat is ready to
leave the bones. Now remove and
roll in wheat flour,' cracker crumbs
or corn meal whichever you prefer.
bacon grease and sweet butter , are
the best fats in which to fry a rabbit.
Fill the frying, pan partly full of
these fats and place the flavoured or
cornmeal covered pieces in the hot
grease and fry until a brown crust,
crisp and brittle, forms oyer the meat
Keep turning often and I assure
you you'll haVe one of the rarest, the
most satisfying game dishes that for
est or stream aifords. '
Some prefer to freeze the rabbit
over night before cooking. Others
serve with small particles of onion
cooked with the game but I have never
found that any of these methods pro
duce the delicate taste, flavor and
food value of the parboiled meat.

Why Train Your Boy to Become
Prexy of U. S. A. When He Can Make
Fortune Being Star in Athletics
By FRANK O. MENKE.
(Copyright 1(21 bsr Kin Features Syndi
cate, inc.)
What's the use of training your
boy to become prexy of the U. S. A-..
owner of the Steel Corporation or
John D.'s successor, in the oil bus
iness? .
Why not let him take a fling at
being a first slinger, a baseballer, a
jockey, a billiardist or something
aknv-one of these professions where
he can have fun and millions at the
same time?
If he is a skinny, puny youngster.
why not shoo him off to the racetrack
nd develop him into a horse pilot;
Earl Sande is A tiny mite so frail
in appearance that one never could
conceive his doing .any husky chores.
tans only 19 or 20, yet he has a
valet, a chauffeur, a suite in one of
Gotham's most fashionable hotels, a
bankroll of around $200,000 and an
income around $100,000 a year.
; Outstanding "Jock."
' If Sande hadn't gone in for horse
mahship, the chances are . that at this
moment he d be a' first-class messcn
ger boy, a printer's devil or an office
clerk at $15 a week. But now Sande
is the outstanding plutocrat among
the jocks but there are many jun-
ners-up.
. The youthful Fater likewise pos
sesses a valet, a fine home, a bulging
bank account and an income that
closely approaches .that of President
Warren G. Harding. Frankie Rob
inson, who was killed in a fall ;
year or two ago, was only 21 or so
and had been riding but a few years.
Yet Robinson's estate was valued at
around $500,000. .
Willie Hoppft doesn't do anything
else but play billiards. . And he finds
much joy m it. Jikewise he hnds it
extremely lucrative. The, annual
Hoppe income from exhibition
matches and "side issue" stuff is iu
the neighborhood of $75,000. Hoppe,
who has been earning on that' basis.
for years, is now only about half the
age of Harding.
' Dempsey "Cleaned Up."
No one knows exactly how much
Jack Dempsey cleaned up in the two
years that he's been champing the
fistic universe. But one can gather a
fair idea by totalling the following
estimates:
WlUard fight ...
Miske fight ....
Brennan figlt .
Carpentier fight .
Moving pictures
Theatrical work'
Incidentals . . ...
. 27.B0O
... 66,000
... 100.000
... 300,000
... 400,000
... 75,000
... 100,000
That's a grand estimated total of
over $1,000,000; split it in half and
it means about $500,000 a year for
the two years of his punching reign
Dempsey is Only 26 and he spent
only five years in the climb to the
heights. Harding had to trek the
trail for more than half a century
before he achieved his $75,000 job.
Most men expend hundreds even
thousands of dollars annually for
the joys of golfing. But when one
turns "pro" and becomes a good
"pro" that's different. Harry Var
don and some of his' English asso
ciates rankamong the topnotchers.
Their annual income from exhibition
matches in which they find just
as much tinkist joy as does the ama
teur player is between ssu.OUO to
$75,000 a year.
Ruth Makes "HauL" .
The busting Babe Ruth speared
close to $150,000 in 1920 and should
repeat this year. So in two seasons,
working only about eight months a
year, he gathered in heap much base
ball joy and a salary, working
hours considered, about 12 times
greater than that paid to the presi
dent of the United States.
For Ruth works on an average of
about two - hous a" day, whereas
Harding puts in a minimum of eight
and, when imporant matters press
him, is at the nation's service 24
hours in -each day.
Sande, Hoppe, Vardon, Dempsey
and Ruth are, of course, the glow
ing exceptions. But there are legions
of others in the ranks of sportdom
who are paid from two to 10 times
as much for actual work hours than
are national presidents, bank prexies
and corporation executives.
Speaker s salary is around $J5,UUU
a year, rick ups boost nis income
to $50,000 for six months' work, of

Midland Expects

Fremont, Neb., Oct. 26. (Spe

liger gridsters and local football
enthusiasts have not given up all
hope of yet ranking with the leaders
at the end of the conference season,
and are working steadily, little dis
couraged with the cruel fate which
seems to be standing in their oath.
Midland has lost its two conference
games to Wayne and York by smail
margins. In each instance the vie-
tors escaped luckily by scoring the
lone touchdown ot the game. "
A hard-riding hodoo seems to be
on the trail of the Tigers, but they
are Douna to snake on mat jinx iu

Midlanders are working earnestly

the Lutheran, team this year is made
up of better stuff and shows more
promise than any team of the past,
but has been unable to get started.
When they lose, these Tigers arc
going to scrptch and tear things up
in a geeeral upset, is the opinion of
local dopesters. It is early irf the
season but experts have predicted
that Midland is ' out of the running
for ' any significant honors. Mid
land boosters are of the opposite
opinion, and believe that the Tigers
will get -started this week at Peru
for a string of victories tnat win
place Midland stock on a par with
the rest of the conference contend
ers. ,

Expects Hard
Game Saturday
Cincinnati School Fears
Croiphton More Than it Did
Praying Colonels of
Centre College,
Cincinnati, O., Oct. 26. (Special
Tclgram.)--Thc St. Xavirr college
team expects a harder battle from
the Creighton university team at
Corcoran field Saturday afternoon
than that which the famous Praying
Colonels of Centre collfse gave their,
here two weeks ago. From a lit of
vcight which Coach Joe Meyer
has obtained hi opponents will aver
age IWJ pounds, which is about
pounds heavier than the Saints and
the heaviest team his men ' have
dailicd with thi season.
t The St. "X." nun are indulging
in tome hard practice with all the
regulars back in the scrimmage save
Quarterback dishing, who i watch
ing the practice from the side lines.
"Cush" suffered a hard blow on the
"fad in tne centre game ana nas
not recuperated. An X-ray examin
ation failed to disclose any serious.
damage, but it is doubtful whether
he will be in condition to play against
the western team this week. Full
back Marncll. although a little stiff
and sore, is back in the' lineup.
The fact that the Crciihton team
outweighs the local squad will not
play any big part in the morale of
Joe Meyer's aggregation, because
the taste from the centre game is
still on their palates and they will
throw every ounce of energy into
their play in their initial combat with
(he western team.
The game will be unique because
the St. "X." has not scouted the
western aggregation and the Creigh
ton team has not spied on the Saints,
for in these modern days it is a hob
by for colleges to usually scout their
opponents in advance. Joe Meyer
has been drilling his team into many
new plays, which he believes will
fool any team. Each team does not
know what to expect of their op
ponents and will have to solve their
own defense problems by quick
thinking.
