TAG ENDS USEFUL DAINTY COLLATIONS MADE FROM THE LEFTOVERS. How Tempting Salad May B Put To gether in an Emergency Iced Cold Moats Go Well with Vegetables. How to make something out ol nothing Is a time-worn problem tor the housewne, out If she will remem ber the words ol the popular sons, she can concoct many inexpensive dainties, for "every little bit added to what you've got makes Just a little bit more.' Suppose, for Instance, that your larder displays nothing much but the tag ends of a number of vege tables, both cooked and uncooked. Out of these you can concoct a tempting salad that will serve as a dainty main cut CAPITAL AUXILIARY. May Social Was a Gastronomic Tri umph But a Numerical Failure. So far as numbers were concerned the May social of Capital Auxiliary No. 11 was pretty slim. But as a gastronomic event it must be classed as the record of that organization. The social was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Orval Young, and five printers were present. Printers wives to the number of seven, and printers' children to the number of a dozen or more, made up the attendance. Chicken pie was the -piece de resist ance" of the meal and it was genuine chicken pie such as mother used to have to worry over to equal. And slaw, and niasbed potatoes and toma toes, and coffee and ice cream and vanilla wafers a real meal that went to the spot and produced that fine feeling of satisfaction. The Wage work er man, who never misses a chance to partake of the Auxiliary s Hospi tality, only wants to say that the printer who could have been there course ror " and wasn't, missed something, the carrots Into strips, the string , . . beans It large into inch lengths, the niaa Into naDer-thln slices, and the potato Into dice. Heap the peas, the I tions which were highly appreciated, onion, the potatoes, and the llmaand several guessing games kept the beans it you have any. otherwise kio-1 imerest lively. ny beans or aicea oeets -u w M F H Hebara as elected dele- .

The vote" An equally attractive macedoine ot was also taken on international offi- veeetablea consists of canned corn i cers. drained from the milk, diced boiled turnips, and pickled cucumbers sur rounded by a "nest" of cabbage cold slaw. French dressing Is best with this combination. Where you have not a great variety ot vegetables, you can make a sub stantial dish ot It by adding Iced cold meats, chicken and veal being perhaps the dainties for company, though "well done" roast pork, beet or ham can be used In the same way. The tart cu cumber or tomato may be combined to good advantage with cold boiled po tatoes and the meat, and pickled beets and asparagus are delicious with chicken. Canned salmon Is also very much relished with peas, celery, let tuce and beets. Being such an oily combination. It Is perhaps better with plain boiled dressing, or with vinegar. salt and pepper. If you have a little cauliflower and two or three onions left over, they combine deliclously when boiled, cut up together and served with a cream gravy. To turn to desserts: If you want a really lovely dish, open a can of free stone peaches, fill each cavity with the shredded Hawaiian pineapple that Is now so plentiful In the markets, add a sprinkling of chopped nuts and serve with whipped cream. , The "boarding house prunes that the family sneer at may also be dis guised into the form of a plum cake. To make the batter, take two-thirds of a cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar, three eggs, two cupfuls ot flour, four tablespoonfuls of milk, a quarter ot a teaspoon ful of soda, a heaping cupful of prunes, two teaspoonfuls of allspice, two of cinnamon and one of nutmeg. For this one tablespoonful of baking powder will be required. Our last recipe is far from being a new one, but there may be some young housewife who does not know the very very best way to make this queen of economy desserts, rice pud ding: One-halt of a cupful ot rice, one cupful of water, three cupfuls of milk, two eggs and three-eighths ot a cupful of sugar. Cook rice and water over the flame till the water Is ab sorbed. Add one pint of milk, and cook over water till rice is tender. Beat the eggs, and add them to one cupful ot milk; pour this into the rice mixture, add sugar, and poor all into a buttered dish. Set over a dish of .hot water, and bake In a slow oven till custard is set Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg over the top, and add rais ins if liked. AFTER "SKINNY" "MADDEN. Chicago Labor Leader Charged With Huge Grafting Operations. Chicago, May 11. Martin R. ("Skin ny") Madden, president of the Asso ciated Building Trades of Chicago, and generally referred to as the local "czar of labor, was placed on trial here today before Judge McSurely, charged with the extortion of $1,000 from Jo seph Klicka for "settling" a strike. Indictment of Madden and his as sociates followed years of innuendo among contractors concerning the call ing and settling of many strikes. Mad den rides in his own automobile and for years his word has been law among the trades unionists of this city. LABOR TEMPLE DIRECTORS.

Failed to Meet Last Monday, But May Meet Next Monday Evening. The directors of the Labor Temple Association failed to meet last Mon day evening, but may be able to mus ter a quorum next Monday evening. Owing to lack of interest the proposed Labor Temple Day" was well nigh a failure. One enthusiastic union woman managed to secure about $200 in pledges, but refused to continue when she found she was receiving no sup port either from her own organiza tion or from the directors. It seems strange that men who work only eight hours a day can not find time to devote an hour or two a week to pushing this splendid pro ject. During the past two weeks, the editor of this paper has had oc casion to confer with a score or more of business - men on another matter, but in which the Labor Temple pro ject played some part. Here is what they said: Just as soon as you men show that you mean business, you can call on us and we'll help you. But you'll have to go some before we'll start. It's up to you." One prominent business man said: The day you get title to a building site you may have my check for $100 not as a subscription to stock, but as a gift.'' Another business man, a lumber dealer said: "When you get ready to build I'll give you the privilege of go ing through my yards and picking out not less than $100 worth of building material. Taken all together, the editor knows of a thousand dollars or more that will be donated by business men to- ard a Labor .Temple if the wage earners of the city will only "buck up' and show that they want a Labor Temple bad enough to make some sac rifices in order to get it. uut unless some more energy is put into the project, and a lot more men come to the front and help push the hills will be holes in the ground" before a real start is made.

AWARDS TO LOWEST BIDDER. Deputy Labor Commissioner Will Maupin, editor of a labor paper and an advocate of union made- goods, de sires to have the state furnish him with office printed matter bearing the union label. The state printing board, comprising Secretary of State Junkin, State Auditor Barton and Treasurer Brian have awarded the contracts to the lowest bidder as required by law. The York Black Book company, which obtained the contract for printing blanks and other office supplies for the labor bureau, is not a union office and cannot use the internatioanl typo graphical union label. Mr. Maupin is supposed to have control of his office funds which will be used to pay for the work contracted for and he promises to put up a lively fight for the use of the union label on state printing, or at least printing of his own department. He may do this by refusing to approve a voucher cover ing the claim for printing or he may refuse to order any printing. If re quired to do so he may mimeograph all of his blanks instead of accepting the printing that does not bear the union label. When estimates were submitted to the printing board from the various departments for supplies for the year, Mr. Maupin turned in an estimate of the amount needed and wrote above the office supplies, "Must have the union label." The state board is re quired by law to award the contract to the lowest bidder and the specification relating to the label was omitted by Clerk Thomas and the board when bids were asked for. "We are required to award contracts to the lowest and best bidder," said Treasurer Brian. "We cannot restrict the bidding of any certain class of printers. The bidding is open to any and all printers and as far as I am concerned, the lowest bidder, if he is responsible, will always get the contract, regardless of whether he is a union printer or a non-union print er.. We are supposed to carry out the law and abide by the oath of office we subscribed to when we were elect ed to represent the state in such matters." A representative of the successful bidder . obtained sample of some of the work to be done for the labor bu reau, but Mr. Maupin says the old samples were merely a guide as to the nature of the work desired. He desires to change his blanks and has written the contractor that he must not de liver the blanks except such as print ed in accordance with copy approved by him. An interesting situation may be presented if the printer insists on printing supplies for Mr. Maupin without the union label. It may fin ally reach the courts if any one cares to make a test case of it. So far as known Mr. Maupin is the first person to ask for the union label on state printing. Some have insisted on having the label on printing for theirown personal use, but none have claimed the right to require the print ing to specify that it shall be used on state printing. The legislature has frequently been asked to require it to be done, but has always failed to do so. Governor Shallenberger will suc ceed State Treasurer Brian the first of July. When the governor's office recently submitted estimates for state printing no request was made to re quire the printer to use the union label. He is counted on to side with Mr. Maupin if a controversy is to be stirred up. The governor was placed on the printing board by an act of the last legislature with power to appoint a "secretary" of the state board, but the act is considered inoperative as to the appointive power because it leaves unrepealed a section of the statute permitting the three members of the board to appoint an "expert" printer at a salary of $1,200 a year, the very job that the bill was designed to place at the governor's disposal. Lincoln Journal, May 11. The above is reprinted because it may be of passing interest to the un ionists of Nebraska. The .printing done done for the labor bureau bore the union label when Mr. Watson was deputy commissioner. All printing done for the department since Mr. Manpin assumed charge has borne the label, and Mr. Maupin insists that all print ing for the department in future, while he has charge, shall bear the same ornament. THE MUSICIANS' CONVENTION. of little children to the extent that Julius Meyer had, is a man to be trusted. God rest his gentle soul for he was every inch a man and a gen tle, kindly man. MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL. Lincoln's Big Union Represented at Big Meeting in Minneapolis. The annual convention of the Amer ican Federation of Musicians began at Minneapolis last Tuesday and will continue over Sunday. The Lincoln union is represented by W. T. Pin ney. Delegates to the number of 300 gathered from all parts of the United States and Canada. President Web ber of Cincinnati called the conven tion to order and introduced Mayor J. C. Haynes, who gave the visitors a warm welcome to the city. Gover nor John A. Johnson, who was es corted to the convention by a band of 200 pieces, welcomed the visitors on behalf of the state. Receptions, trolley rides, banquets, tally-ho parties and lake excursions will give the visiting members and their wives plenty of entertainment between business sessions. The con vention is acknowledged to be the largest in the history of the organiza-tion.- The news of the sad death of Julius Meyer of Omaha, will cause a feeling of sorrow to permeate the hearts of all the old-time members of the Mu sicians Union in the wesL It will also sadden the hearts of many union ists of other crafts. Mr. Meyer orga nized the Omaha Musicians Union and was always interested in the or ganization. Organized labor had no better friend. Continued ill health caused Mr. Meyer to become despon dent, and last Tuesday he ended his suffering by taking his own life. His character may be understood when it is known that he was "Uncle Ju lius" to hundreds of Omaha children; he gave them a big party every year, and he never was too busy to stop his work and give them a welcome and enter into their childish sports. And the man who has the confidence Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Se cured for May 17 and 18. Music lovers in Lincoln are delight ed with the fact that they are to. have the pleasure of listening to the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, which has been secured for the May Festival, May 17 and 18. This en terprise is fostered by Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond, one of the leading musi cians of the west, and is receiving the cordial support of the Commercial clnb. The Minneapolis organization is ad mittedly one of the great musical or ganizations of the country, and Lin coln is to be congratulated upon hav ing an opportunity to hear it. Tickets for the series of concerts are on sale at the office of Secretary Whines of the Commercial elub, the price being $3 each. ENOUGH FOR A STARTER. Will M. Maupin, editor of the Lin coln, Nebr.
