For Canning Time.

AS the fruit season is so near, the
following table will be of interest
to many of our housewives. Exact
proportions of sugar and fruit used
for canning and preserving cannot
be given, as the quality of the fruit
as to sweetness or sourness varies
greatly. An approximate amount
| is given, leaving it to the judge
ment Ofthe cook to suit proportions
for quart jar of fruit;
For cherries, six ounces of sugar
to quart jar of fruit strawberries,
six to eight ounces; raspberries, four
ounces; ounces, eight to ten ounces;
pears, four to six ounces; grapes.
six to eight ounces; peaches, four
ounces; pineapple, four to six ounces
crabapples, six to eight ounces;
plums, four ounces, pie-plant, eight
to ten ounces.
For preserving and iellies, the
sugar must be white, or very light
colored; for many Jams and most
sweet pickles. light brown or brown
sugar may be used. Where strong
flavoring is wanted brown sugar is
indicated.
For canning fruit or vegetables,
many most successful housewives
refuse to use sugar. saying the nat
ural flavor of the contents is i'm
paired by its use. Sugar causes the
fruit to swim ON top of the liquid
and packs the solids at the top Of
the jar. Without it, the fruit sinks
to the bottom, and is always cover
ed. Jars should be we'll filed. in
order that no mold may form on
the top. .e.,..
In canning any soft fruits. no
water should be used to start the
boiling, If the kettle is set on a
rather cool part of the stove or over
aokettle of hot water, enough juice
to start with will exude, and the
boiling process should be started
slowly. Berries should only be
heated through, not cooked. If the
cans are wanted very full, two
patches should be cooked at once
and the berries skinned out pack
ed in the jars carefully. enough
Juice poured in to fill all spaces,
then sealed. The jars should be
overlooked for a few seconds to be
sure all air is forced out. Elk.

The Ball Team of the grades in
the Monroe City schools went to
Paris, Saturday to play the grades
of the Paris schools. Owing to cir
cumstances the Monroe boys could
only muster 7 players to 60 against
the Paris aggregation, but they play
ed "em" just the same. From all
accounts it was a holly contested
game throughout. The score stood
IL to 10in favor of Paris which GER
tainly was doing we'll for the Monroe
boys as they only had one man in
the field and their regular pitcher
was not with them.

RULING EXPECTED
IN VAUGHAN CASE

Decision of the Indiana supreme
court as to whether vital error was
made in the trial of the breach of
promise suit of Mrs. Susan Smith
against John d. Vaughan, a wealthy
real estate owner, who has been retir-
ed from business for several years, is
expected by attorneys who are inter-
ested in the case. Oral arguments were
made before the court by attorneys H.
U. Johnson and ]. F. Robbins for the
complainant, and attorneys T. ]. Stu
dy and Wilfred Jessup for the defens
dant
The jury gave Mrs. Smith $4,000
judgment at the elimination of the
trial in April, 1908. She asked $4,000.
The judgment was promptly appealed
several technicalities being found by
the defense, which it Is alleged, were
in error. However the appellant ex-
poets to have the case reversed, not
so much because of the technicalties
but because it AYERS the verdict did
not bear out the evidence. Mrs. Smith
contradicted herself on the witness
stand and the attorneys for Vaughan
tried to show to the court that on this
ground, if ON no other, the judgment
should be reversed.

COUNTY INFIRMARY
HAD Z APPLICANTS

Seven applications for admittance
to the county infirmary were receiv-
ed on Monday by Wayne Township
Trustee, James Howarth. Five of the
number weres6iyen cold shoulders,
the trustee deeming that they are hale
and hearty and able to earn their own
livelihood while the other two are in
such physical condition that they are
unable to do only light work.
The number of calls for help, either
in request of fuel or food, exceeded
the number of applications to live at
the poor farm by only a small mum.
Der. The present cold snap has caus'
ed much suffering among the poor but
possibly so far as the trustee is aware
not as much as was expected by those
cognizant with the conditions here. On
Monday less than ten tons of coal was
distributed in 500 pound allotments
among the poor of the city.

A WOMAN FIGHTING
RAILROAD COMPANY

The claim was advanced in the
Wayne circuit court Wednesday in
argument of an issue in the case of
Margaret McCaffrey of Jackson town
ship against the Pennsylvania rail-
road company for ejectment and dam
ages, that whenever public service
corporation such as a railroad claims
to be. wants anything it can get it,
regardless of the rights of the indi-
vidual.
This was qualified by the statement
that a public service corporation
knows the exigencies of condition
better than the landowner and the
courts and that it can condemn proper
ty and by the payment of equitable
damages obtain title to the property.
The attorneys for the corporation de-
clared that the Indiana supreme court
had placed such an Interpretation on
the statue.
In double-tracking it's system be-
tween here and Indianapolis, the
Pennsylvania had to make a high fill
near Cambridge City. 1t seems that
the fill adjacent to the property OF
Mrs. McCaffrey slipped so as to run
over on Mrs. McCaffrey's land. The
Pennsylvania railroad claims that ii
is a condition of nature which de-
mands that in order to make the pro
per fill the land be acquired. Mrs. NC
Caffrey maintains that such is not a
fact, that a retaining mall can be con
structed by which the fill will not
slip upon her ground. The court has
the case under advisement.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Now a.
With her national treasury impover'
ished by the war with Italy and with
her military forces steadily losing on
land and sea, the Ottoman empire is
finally on the verge of suing for peace,
taking the best terms possible as in
demnity for the loss of Tripoli. The
Sublime Porte is expected to take &C
tion looking toward peace some time
this week. Such representations are
either being made to the powers or
will be, according to information from
an authentic source. Turkey has al
last become convinced that her forces
are no match for Italy.
However, it is believed that the for
NAL declaration of peace will not end
hostilities in Tripoli. The turbulent
tribesmen who have decided holy
war against the Christian invaders
will probably keep up a long and
bloody campaign until they are eth
er subdued by the strongest of meas
ures are annihilated entirely.

HILLS OBSTACLES
TO PROPOSED LINE
Traction Promoters Find
Difficult Territory South
of This City.

Several steep hills that will have to
be surmounted were the chief obstac-
les along the proposed north and south
traction route, found yesterday by
Charles Jordan, secretary of the Rich
mond and Eastern Indiana company,
and J. A. Shafer, an indianapolis en-
gineer whom the company engaged to
travel over the line with a view of
pointing out the difficulties to be en-
countered. The two men journeyed
over some eighty or ninety miles Mon
day taking notes on the southern end
Of the route, and trying to determine
what course to follow south Of Liberty.
They determined there were only two
possible routes, and decided to leave
the matter open until some action was
taken by the l. & c. company, which
is contemplating line from Liberty
to Hamilton.
On the first leg of their trip, from
this city to Liberty, Mr.. Jordan and
Mr.. Shafer agreed the best route was
through Abingdon, thence to the Un-
ion county seat. Shafer found several
places where cuts and fills will be
necessary, but the course chosen will
present fewer obstacles than any 9TH
er way of getting into Liberty.
Owing to the fact that there are
many lines, of seemingly equal merit,
that may be followed between Liberty
and Hamilton the tourists had to make
several detours from their route after
leaving Union county. Going south,
they went from Liberty to Bath, thence
to Oxford, and to Hamilton. Coming
back, they went to Oxford, and then
diverged from their former route, pass.
ing through College Corner and Cot.
tage Grove in getting to Liberty. Ok.
ford proved an unlucky place for the
party, as they had blowout" both
going and returning.
Both the above named routes were
found satisfactory, but they will pre-
sent some hard engineering problems
ain constructing a car line. Hills are
the worst distractions. Shafer noted
many places where considerable ex
pense would be entailed in passing
the heights.

A Prince of Boosters Lost to
City --AI Spekenhier Has Gone

Richmond today lost a "live wire,' y
one of its most progressive, enterpris-
ing and popular citizens, when J. A.
Spekenhier, former county treasurer,
for two terms, and postmaster, left for
Bogalooza, La. where he will assume
charge of a bank which Harry l. Mil
ler, a former Richmond man. Mr.. Spek-
enhier and others are interested in.
Bogalooza is the center Of a great lum-
Der district and Mr.. Spekenhier's sue
cess in his" new undertaking is assur.
ed.
The company developing the lum-
ber industry in the Bogalooza district,
it is said, has a number OF Richmond
men interested in it.
A number of the best known bust.
ness men in the city today stated that
in Mr.. Spekenhidr's departure for rs
new home the city of Richmond had
sustained a heavy loss.
I'VE cannot afford to lose many citi.
zens like Al Spekenhier. No city has
enough of this class of men to which
Mr.. Spekenhier belongs. In making
a success in life he was never toe
busy to devote a good part Of his time
to helping others, his city and his
county" said Will w. Keller, secre
tary Of the Young Mems Business
club, of which Mr.. Spekenhier was IN
active and enthusiastic member.
