WE DON'T CARE A RAP.
JUST SO 1T IL PLENTIFUL

Washington, Oct. 10.-For the
first time In many years the United
States to-day is circulating dirty
and time-worn currency. The Treas
ury's supply of paper for the print
ing of money is deficient by CO.,
100000 sheets, or enough to make
240,00O.00O notes, with a probable
value in excess of $1,000, 900, 900.
Because of this scarcity of new
paper Treasurer Burke to-day gave
orders that no paper money, howev-
er dirty, should be destroyed. This
presents curious situation. as there
is great demand for paper money
during the crop-moving period.
The failure of the money-washing
machine to effect as great a saving
as had been anticipated is said to be
responsible for the dearth of paper.
With prospect of great economy
through the laundering of notes
Congress materially decreased the
appropriation for paper.
This has resulted in deficiency
because the Treasury Department
has so far been able to wash only
10 per cent of silver certificates.
The washing machine still is in the
experimental stage

To Cook Sweet Corn.

For cooking we have a way of our
own. We took piece of galvanized
hail-screen (chose hail-screen be-
cause it is stronger and sitter than
the common), shaped it to fit in our
wash-boiler and fastened blocks of
wood under it to hold it about three
inches above the bottom of the boil
er. Putting this in for false bot
tom to hold the ears of corn out of
the water, we fill in above the screen
with well-cleaned and silked ears.
We put on a tight lid and let it boil.
This steam cooking leaves the corn
a more natural color than boiling.
and is not so bad about cooking the
