JUDGE SELECTS
AN OFFICIAL FOR
JUVENILE WORK
Mrs. Carrie S. o'Connor Named
as Probation Officer for
County Court.
MEANS NEW DEPARTURE
Instead Of Children Being Sent to
State Institutions They Will Be
Paroled Under Her Care,

Rock Island county has a probation
officer. For the first time in the his
tory of the county, the Juvenile Grim
inal work will be under one competent
head. Judge B. S. Bell this morning
appointed Mrs. Carrie S. O'Connor,
Moline, to the position, following the
action of the board of supervisors yes
terday afternoon when a resolution
creating the Office was passed. Mrs.
O'Connor will receive $50 a month
and her duties began this morning.
OFFICE AT COURT HOUSE.
The new official will have an Office
at the court house. 1t is probable that
she will use the room at the southeast
corner of the building, formerly oc-
cupied by Judge Gest as chambers,
which is now a part of the probate
clerks office. The need Of such an
officer has long been apparent to Judge
Bell and he has worked untiringly for
the appointment Of such an official.
Heretofore all the juvenile work has
been confined to the police matrons
of Rock Island and Moline, with such
voluntary aid as the Association Char.
titles or private parties might give. II
is proposed that the probation officer
make an investigation into the home
life of all dependent and delinquent
children. She will visit the homes OF
all applicants for widows pensions and
have complete supervision of all
juvenile work.
TO PAROLE CHILDREN.
Under the new plan it will be pos
sible for many of the children now
sent tothe state institutions at Geneva
and st. Charles to remain at home
They.will be paroled under the care
of Mrs. O'Connor to whom they will
report at stated intervals. In this way
Judge Bell believes the stigma which
attaches to one following sen
tence to the state institution will be
overcome and the children will have
better opportunity to grow into up
right and law abiding citizens.

In all our experiences in the preserv-
alton of fruits, and questions from
housekeepers on this art, there is
none in which we have all felt so in
secure as in jelly making. The rule
that worked perfectly we'll last year
failed this year. The housekeeper can
give no reason for it, but only knows
that last year hen jelly was perfect;
no difficulty whatever in having it
"jell." This year it will not harden
and some of it candies besides, and all
this in following the same recipe.
BUY UNDERTAKE. FRUIT.
All fruits for jelly should be pur.
chased under-ripe, as at this time there
is starchy substance called pectin
which is necessary for jelly, and this
quality is lessened as the fruit ripens
If the fruit should be overripe and the
juice ferment or the jelly is cooked
too long, the pectin loses its power OF
making jelly. 1t is therefore, OF the
CoIOob ROl W huOW HOW u
select the fruit, which is just nearing
the ripening stage, full of juice which
has not, through overripening, lost
any of its jelly properties.
An acid fruit is the most suitable
for jelly making, though in some o.
the acid fruits Strawberries for in
stance) the jelly making pectin is sc
small that it is difficult to make il
'jell." If, however, a little currant
juice is added, fine Jelly, pleasant
to the taste, is the result, although
the flavor of the strawberry will b.
modified. If scant teaspoonful O
tartaric acid Is used for every cup o.
sugar, results will be equally as goot
and the flavor Of the strawberry pre-
served.
Unless just these points, which
have been trying to give you, are per
fectly clear in jelly making, it vii
always be hazy, indefinite, uncertain
ty with a feeling of 81 had good luch
last year and bad luck this year."
SUN INCREASES SUGAR.
If, however, the season has been {
very wet one, the fruits will contain
a larger amount Of acid. and will re
quire more sugar. If, on the contrary
there has been much sunshine, the
fruit will contain more sugar. This il
the reason for jellies cahdying some
times. Consequently, less sugar will
be required, and in that event some
of the more acid juices or tartic aciC
should be used. After all is written

Holden ALFALFA CAMPAIGN
Great Things Expected For
Inland Empire.
WILL PLANT 100000 ACRES
Northwest Can Then Produce
Own Meats For Packing.

As a result Of the Holden alfalfa
campaign to be conducted in the In
land Empire for period Of 40 days
commencing September "a, Charles
NJ. Carroll, advance manager for
Professor Perry G. Holden, expects an
increase OF SO, 600, 900 in the annual
feeding value Of the products Of ln-
land Empire farms.
Il believe this campaign will re.
suit in the planting of 100. 900 acres
to alfalfa in this territory" states
Mr.. Carroll. Each acre will pro.
duce at least four tons, making AGO..
600 tons. Numerous tests by agri.
cultural colleges IN all parts OF the
country have fixed the feeding value
Of alfalfa at from $40 to So per ton.
Taking the smaller figure, We are
justified IN believing that this crop
will have feeding value Of $4,000.
900 per year right on the farm, with
out the expense, time and worry Of
marketing.
"Of course, we can not place such
limit on the possible results OF this
campaign, The benefits are sure To
be cumulative. Many farmers will
plant alfalfa the next year or two,
and Others will follow suit from year
TO year.
'"The' foregoing figures suggest
wonderful possibilities In the line OF
feeding thousands OF head of cattle
and other live stock In the Inland
/ Empire. This would mean adding
millions of dollars to the agricultural
output OF this section. and greatly
| increased general prosperity in which
all would share.
specifically 1t would mean that
the Inland Empire would cease t1
import SIS, 900, 600 worth of packing
] house products each year, and that
the $40,0 that the city OF Spokane
alone sends out each month for dairy
products would remain 10 the Inland
Empire"
{ The schedule OF the train, to h'
used 10 the Holden Inland Empir'
Alfalfa Campaign, via the Northern
Pacific railway, includes a stop a
