FIFTY FAMOUS FRONTIERSMEN B, ELMO SCOTT WATSON “Original Leather Stocking” s^TMIE author has often been asked if he had any original in his mind for the character of Leather-Stocking. In a physical sense, different individ uals known to the writer in early life certainly presente I themselves as mod els through his n collections but in a moral sense this num of the forest is purely a creation.” Thus wrote J. Fenimore Cooper in the preface to his immortal “Leath er-Stocking Tales." and that statement should pretty well dispose of various historical characters whose claims to being “the original Leather-Stocking" have been advanced from time to time. One of them is Tim Murphy, the fa mous Morgan Ritleman and Scout of the Schoharie. But if you would look upon a faith ful likeness of the man who probably was most in Coop‘*r's mind as he cre ated the character ‘‘Leather-Stocking” in ‘‘The Pioneers" (the first published of the Leather-Stocking Tales) or “Deerslayer" in the book of that name, go to the town of Caroga, N. Y., and gaze upon the heroic bronze statue of Nicholas Stoner near there. The son of old Henry Stoner, a pi oneer settler of Broadalbin, N. Y., young Nick became a crack shot with the long rifle almost as soon as he was big enough to carry one. At the age of fifteen he enlisted in the Con tinental army with bis father and brother and fought at Saratoga, Oris kany, in the Rhode Island campaign, at Valley Forge and at Yorktown. Toward the close of the Revolution old Henry Stoner returned home only to be killed and scalped by the Indians and leave to his sons ft heritage of hatred for the red men. After the war Nick Stoner became the most cele brated hunter and trapper in New York and his fame was spread by Simms in his book, “The Trappers of New York." At the outbreak of the War of 181 he marched away to battle again, serv ing for three years, most of the time as chief of scouts for General Dodge of the New York militia. When the war was over he went hack to his hunting and trapping, and his friend ship witli Cooper during this period adds plausibility to the theory that he was the principal “original” of Coop er’s famous frontier character. Al though he served in many county of fices until his death in 1853. the statue which stands at Caroga is the bent symbol of his place in history- as a hunter, a trapper, an Indian fighter and as nearly the personification of “Leather Stocking" as any man ever was. ©, 19JS. W«*t«rn New»p*P*r UtUon Growing Quantity Of Hybrid Seed Corn According to Herr Brothers, of this place, who are associated with Dr. M. T. Me yers, Hillsboro, in grow ing hybrid seed cot n, the Meyers Hy brid Corn company has recently made contracts with Indiana and Illinois growers for enough hybrid corn foundation seed to grow 120, 000 bushels of hybrid seed corn in 1940. Dr. Meyers has also agreed to con duct scientific tests similar to those made in Hillsboro last year for three groups of growers in Illinois and one in Iowa. In addition to these tests, the Meyers Hybrid Corn company will have 20 acres of experimental plots in Highland County, Ohio. All Meyers associated growers receive the benefit of these experiments which are in cooperation with those conducted by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment station and the Ohio Seed Improvement association. Need Less Firewood But Lot More Advice Twenty years ago about the only help an Ohio farm woman wanted on the management of the cook stove was to learn the best argu ment to get friend husband to split enough wood but times have changed since power lines bring electricity to thousands of rural homes for the first time. Thelma Beall, specialist in home management. Ohio State University, says that fare women now have hundreds of questions to ask about the electric range which they have bought or are u tending to purchase. One of their chief worries is how much the stove will cost to operate. Miss Beall advises owners of electric stoves to stop worrying ab. at k... av.s and start a game of sa :. nergy. The game saves kilowatts as well as cooks. One of the ways to save both is by the method recommended for cook .r.g rice on an electric range. One cup of rice covered with one and three-quarters cup of water in a covered pan can be heated until steam escapes in six minutes if the unit is turned to high heat. The heat can then be turned off entirely and the rice will continue cooking for 25 minutes, when it will be done. The rice will not need stirring and the grains will be unbroken. This same method of cooking with stored heat will succeed with one dish meals such as kidney bean stew, Italian spaghetti, and chop suey. The dish is heated until the ingredi ents start boiling and then the heat can be turned completely off and the cooking will continue for 45 minutes or an hour. The food will not boil over and stirring is elimi nated. Using minimum amounts of water in cooking with the electric range will save current and also, in the case of vegetables, helps to preserve the appearance and nutrient value of the food which is being cooked. The sooner the food is started to cook, the sooner the unit can be turned from high to low and the more current is saved. Extra water uses up heat units. High heat is used to start food cooking rapidly and consumes ap proximately four times as much cur rent as low heat. Medium heat re quires half as much current as high heat and is sufficient for frying pan cakes and thick steaks. Medium heat also is used in making jelly or candy. Beeping into the electric oven is a waste of time, energy and kilo watts. Most of the ovens have automatic controls and are so in sulated that the food bakes evenly without any necessity of turning the dishes in which the food is being baked. The baking pans should not touch each other in the oven nor the sides of the oven. If the electric stove is to be used for baking one food, the cook can save time and cut costs by planning an oven meal. The heat required to bake the one food will cook the entire meal. Utensils for the surface of the electric range will use less current if they have flat bottoms and flat covers. Black-bottomed pans heat more quickly than those with bright bottoms. For the oven, the bright pans are better because food may scorch in pans with black bottoms. The instruction book furnished with the range should be studied and its recommendations followed. All wires, connections, terminal points, and heating coils on the range should be kept dry at all times. Forty Ohio rural boys and girls will be aided in attending Ohio State University in the future by scholar ships to be awarded this summer. The Kroger Grocery and Baking Company and Sears, Roebuck and Company each will give 20 scholar ships. Awards will be made to 4-H club members and Smith-Hughes students in agriculture and home economics. L. L. Russell, Columbus, and University staff members will make the selections for scholarships which have a total value of $5,000.
