DUMAS PLAYS sHoRTSToP
HOLLIS FEET TANGLED IN GRASS

Cass Lake; Aug..s2 2.-The most in
teresting and laughanie game of ball
ever plzEed in. Cars Lake took place.
yesterday afternoon between the fats
and leans of the village under the
auspices of the Commercial club. The
leans won by a score of to j, after
nine innings of strenuous playing.
Rev. FIR. Kornbrust umpired the
game and was determined to keep
order at all times, as he was armed
with regulation Indian tomahawk
and an old rusty shotgun which was
discovered under ground a year ago
on the claim of E. X. Miskella, near
Little Fork while that homesteader
was making clearing on his claim.
4 Teh "stunts" pulled of during the
game were laughable in the extreme
Frank Merrill playing third base for
the "Fats" performed an acrobatic
stunt" that was not on the program
by going after a high foul, and just
as he was going to catch the ball,
turned two summersaults and landed
in q heap. He missed the bali, and
the crowd roared r..
An ambulance was on the ground
and a hurry call was answered when
M. K. Kohl, another "Fat," playing
right field, got his feet tangled in
the grass and fell. He was brought
before the grandstand on a stretcher
and cared for by DR.. Christensen who
applied restoratives and the injured
man was resuscitated. just as the
band struck up "How Dry 1 AM
DR.. D. F. Dumas, of Puposky-Pin-
kerton fame, played shortstop for the
Fats in brilliant style, and picked
up everything that came his way
Taken altogether the game was a
complete success both in social and
financial way, the Commercial club
cleared about $50 from the days

HOW TOSAYE VEGETABLES
Canning and Drying Processes Elk
planned to Pioneer Readers By
Mary Bull, Expert.
PROCESS IS SIMPLE AND SAFE

How to preserve garden vegetables
for use next winter is told in con-
tribution to The Pioneer by Miss
Mary L. Bull of the Extension Di-
vision of the Minnesota College OF
Agriculture.
Miss Bull says:
Use no canning powders!
Now is the time to prepare vege-
tables and fruits for winter use.
Home-prepared foods are cheaper
and better than those found on the
market.
If cans are not at hand when peas,
corn and string beans are in their
prime, why not use the good old
fashioned method of preservation
and dry" vegetables as we'll as
fruits?

Canning String Beans.

For beans to can, select and pre-
pare them as for drying. Fill steril-
lied jars with the beans, then add
water until it overfows, place the
rubber, and set the cover loosely. Set
the jars in a steamer over cold water,
or in a boiler or kettle of cold water;
bring the water to the boiling point
and cook one hour. Screw the covers
on as tightly as possible.
Allow the jars to stand until the
next day, when they shhNld again be
put to cook in cold water and hn3
-ished as before. Repeat the process
the third day, boiling an hour each
time
Do not loosen the covers after put
ting them on the first time. Be sure
to put the jars into cool water each
time when putting them over the
fire.

Means $3.50 An Acre.

The potato sale was taken as an il
lustration. The IS bushels were
raised on .22 of an acre, and this
yield is therefore equal to $50 BUSH
els an acre and at IS cents bushe1
would mean a gross income of s120
IN acre. sz.-.~, + -, : X =
Professor Bergh explains that, po-
tatoes can be grown at cost of about
80 cents bushel, leaving net prof
it with the yield and prices at the
above figures, of $72 an acre.
Bergh Offers Suggestion.
This causes Professor Bergh to en-
thuse as follows: ~ ~.
IF the farmers in this section will
insure market for their potatoes
by forming an association and build
ing warehouses on the railroads, the
potato culture in the near future
will without doubt be one of the most
extensive and at the same time prof
liable industries in this part of the
state.
"Our soils and, climate are we'll
adapted to the raising of potatoes,
yet this crop should be supplemented
on every farm by a dairy herd, which
can consume the cloverssin the farm
rotation, and supp1y=the necessary
fertilizer.
Timber Wealth Insignificant.
And then Mr.. Bergh makes this
definite statement:
''The wealth in the past from the
forest in lumber will seem insignifi-
cant in contrast to the wealth that
awaits us in the agricultural resource
es of Northern Minnesota. !
together with potatoes, the fu-
ture of this region is linked with.
clover and cattle, berries and bees.''

How to Dry Corn.

Sweet corn may be dried in the
same way as the beans. Prime sweet
corn, when properly dried, properly
stored and nicely cooked, is excellent,
and is preferred by some to canned
corn. Select corn just right for the
table. Be certain it is not too old.
Husk, and carefully remove all silks.
Plunge the corn into boiling water,
and allow it to cook four or five min
utes. Cut from the cob, and put on
plates or trays to dry. Proceed as
when drying beans.
Canning Sweet Corn. ~,
Sweet corn may be canned by the
same method as described for can
ming beans
Green peas and asparagus may also
be preserved in the same way.

BETTER STREETS LIGHT.

Tbs Light and Water Commission
have deci led that in the future when
a street light burns out the Tungsten
lights will replace It. These lights are
much better than the lights now in
use, and the places that have been re
placed with new lights show q marked
Improvement. This move on the com
mission is cOmmeDdsble one; but it
should have been done years ago.
For several years this town has not
been lighted as well as it should have
been. In the near future every street
light in Milford should be TungstOn.
