Sweet Potatoes "The sweet potato is as excellent a foil for mild -flavored meats, such as veal and lamb, as it is for meats and fowls,". writes Hetty Lovejoy Borden, in the Pictorial Review. "It is pre- eminently," she continues, "the com- pany accompaniment for such delica- cies as fried chicken, baked Virginia ham, roast pork or roast duckling.' .,Baked, candied, or fried are the most familial' ways in which sweet potatoes are served. They are, of course, delicious prepared in any of these ways, but there are outer simple departures that are equally good and easy to prepare and that have 'the. charm of added novelty. They are very appetizing when they are boiled, peeled and mashed and seasoned with butter, salt and pepper, with milk added to make, them light and fiuffy. Sweet potato patties may be made from cold boiled, mashed potatoes just as are Irish potato cakes or the mashed sweet potatoes may be shaped ftp croquettes, dipped in cruors, egg, and crums, and fried in deep fat. Creamed sweet potatoes are appetiz- ing as a quick luncheon or dinner dish. Dice cold boiled sweet potatoes, put them in a pan .with melted butter and allow them to cook gently for a Minute or two before adding them to the white sauce. ' More "tatus"? Halifax Herald (Cons,): Striking His Majesty's initials from Canadian postal equipment and the designation "His. Majesty's mail" from the Post Office Act is going to require a lot more explaining in this country. , It is just a trifle too significant, in view of all those other "straws" which indicate 'the trend of the "constitu- tional wind" in some quarters in Can- ada to -day.

Lloyd Moore's Columns Prove` of. Interest to Readers Enquiries are c. "tin to Pour in—If Your Want Inform- ation This is the Way to Get it MARKET STRONG By L, J. MOORE Public interest in t;anaclian mining stocks' continues at a high pitch as February approaches its close. The Lindsley stocks have predominated as regards sbahp advances, intensi- fied by the possibilities opened up by the proposed copper refinery on the Atlantic seaboard. The issuance of a limited quantity of Ventures, Lim- ited, shares by the Lindsleys has also provoked considerable comment. The new issue has won early popularity and some observers have predicted for it a very satisfactory market career. It is much too early to gauge the latter at this stage, but it is per- haps apropos to quote the old adage "Nothing succeeds like success." Ventures, Limited, starts out with large interests in Sherritt Gordon, Sudbury Basin, Faiconbridge and numerous other properties of merely prospective merit. It will have a large interest In the proposed copper refinery, It has the advantage of shrewd and capable management. The private offering of $8 per share was over -subscribed several -times aver. Faiconbridga and Sudbury Basin achieved noteworthy gains during the third week of the month. The specul- ative public has begun to discount the future of the Faleonbridge Nickel en- terprise. There are understood to be some interesting developments in connection with the disposal of this company's products. The beginning of production is a long way in the future, however. Recent develop- ment results have been quite favor - By LLOYD J. MOORE Member, Standard Stock and Mining Exchange, who reviews the mining market and will answer enquiries for you. able. It is noteworthy'that there is only a limited amount of stock in the public's hands, and the price is . there- fore susceptible to sharp fluctuations. Sudbury Basin attained a new peak price at $13.75. It was carried up• partly in sympathy with Faleonbridge and also because of :urther favor- able developments at Vermillion. Lake. The Interests of Sudbury Basin, FaI• conbridge and Ventures, Limited, are linked together sufficiently that it is quite conceivable that developments affecting one or two directly will move the whole group. The higher priced issues that con- tinue to command a great "deal of at- tention. International Nickel has been fluctuating between $58.75a and $62.75. This stock was affected ad- versely by the general drop Of New York stocks, influenced by the an- nouncement that the reins of Credit would he drawn tighter. Nickel has acted remarkably well taking every- thing verything into consideration. Its spons- ors are still talking confidently, of much higher prices ,pointing to extra- ordinary developments at the Frood mine and probable profits iu justifica- tion. It must be conceded that this strong Canadian financial group has remarkable record of success over a period of many years. Noranda has shown quite remark- able steadiness and bas' held up at a slightly higher prioe than has Nickel in recent markets. . There has been no buying of big elaibre for some 'lit- tle time and the, stock has behaved remarkably Well, There are some developments forecast which have not yet become public proRerty, Howey Gold receded' under the volume of profit taking that put in an appearance recently, The expected announcement regarding hydroelec- tric power., riaa been delayed,' although there new to be little doubt about a favorable outcome. Howey " has been purchased by well-informed buy - errs wlio are aware of the importance of mine -making efforts at this prop- erty. Another new flotation which has at- tracted attention scarcely second to that of V'entu •res, Limited, le that et the Connell option (Central Patriela. Mines, Linhlted)r in the Crow /beer field, Initial financing has been urt-' dertaken to provide about $150,000 for development puranees. Time gold discovery was undoubtedly- the most remarkable one made •'el Canada last year. It promises to open up an portant eery gold .camp. The stock was heavily over -subscribed at forty Bents per share. 'It is proposed to take two diamond drills to the prop- erty for the current season's opera- tions, and to do such exploratory 'werk as may be pursued without tak- ing aking in a mining plant this year. The Crow River field will undoubtedly be very active after the Spring break-up, Much prospecting effort will undoubt- edly ndoubtedly be directed to Nouthern Mani- toba, the Lac du u Bennet district and to Northern Saskatchewan during the coming season. , The copper and tin discoveries of the Lac du Bonnet area have attracted muchattention and a staking party including Dungan and Stanley McLeod, Fred Geier and Enoc Johnson are reported to have acquir- ed some interesting territory. ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES • (Kleinburg) —^Central Manitoba mines was greatly overdone in the earlier stages when the price of its shares were moved up out of all pro- portion to its known merits. Milling results were poor at the outset. EL ficiency has improved in this respect and the mine is iooking some -better. Itwould be folly to expect substantial profits from a 150 -ton mill, consider- ing the capitalization of 4,500,000 shares, the. property should come un- der aggressive development work. (G.C.B.)-Your inquiry concerning the Coxheath Copper property of Cape Breton is perhaps answered• best by reference to the spectacular rise and fall of Arno shares in the market recently. The conservative market element accepted the stories of spectacular developments with reserv- ations, esewations, The public is too frequent- ly carried away by waves of enthusi- asm nthusiasm which loses sight of intrinsic values. Even granting that develop ments at the Coxheath have been en- tirely favorable—it would be almost too much to expect a sixfold increase in the price of shares could be justi- fied in such a short time. It is quite within the realm of possibility, how- ever, that the merits of the property will be proven further by -additional work. It has -not -been notable in the past as a high-grade copper property, although some .shipping ore has been claimed for it. (A.B.)-At the time Canada Gold Syndicate was put out it might have , been noticed that some of the lead- ing Canadian journals found this ad- vertising unacceptable. Its merlte appeared very dubious t) the writer at the time of the flotation in Novem- ber, 1923. We question very much whether you will be able to find any market for it. In the future you should never buy stock of any descrip- tion from high-pressure salesmen. (G.E.S.)-The merits of Howey Gold Mines have been dealt with In considerable detail through these columns and you have doubtless form- ed the conclusion that we consider this a speculation of merit. (McK.' Linwood) --You will do well to return a firm negative answer to glib -tongued salesmen. They have done more to the detriment of the mining industry in Canada than all other factors combined. We Cannot recognize the name of the sydnicate you mention, .,but that is perhaps no reflection on your handwriting. Gen- erally enerally speaking, syndicate shares.. should be purchased only by those who are close to the mining situation and who are able to take the risks of pioneer operations. You will doubt leas beable to learn our views on de sirable mining stocks by reading these columns. You will be well advised to follow our dictum "Investigate be• fore you invest".
