PRESERVING VEGETABLES
FOR WINTER AND SPRING

One who docs not store vcgct-
abIes for winter use fails to read
i2c the full return from the home
garden. Storage requirements
for different vegetables vary
widely. Some vegetables arc
easily kept Merely leave the PAR
ships in The ground and spring
will find them not only well pre-
served but actually improved in
quality. On the other hand, the
squash are kept successfully only
when the temperature is high and
constant and the humidity low.
Certain principles apply to the
storage of all sorts of vegetables
under Il variety Of conditions.
The important factors to consider
are temperature, moisture and
ventilation. A temperature too
high faVors decomposition; if it
is too loW, freezing occurs, with
the subsequent breaking down Of
vegetable tissue. A dry atm0s@
phefe results in drying out and
shriveling of fruits and vegeta-
bles; while undue moisture, cs-
peeially when combined With high
temperature, faVors the growth
Of destructive fungos and mold
organisms on them. Ventilation
is not only a means OF regulating
these conditions, but ii is also I'M
portant in itself in removing
gaseous products that may he
more or less injurious.
No factor is more potent in fay
Oring successful storage than
proper condition Of the produce
when it is stored. A reasonable
degree Of maturity is necessary,
but over-ripeness is to be avoided
as it favors early decay. Ripen-
ing processes continue, though
slowly, after storage, and due al
loWance must be made for this in
determining the maturity Of yeg-
etabIes To be stored.
Only the very finest specimens
should be selected those that arc
firm and Of good size and shape.
1t is at injured spots that decay
begins, and even bruises that can
be found only by careful examir-
alton are serious; hence the me-
cessity for the greatest care in
selecting and handling the ma
terial that is to be stored.
There are wide differences
among varieties Of vegetables in
their adaptability to storage. In
general, the late maturing sorts
are the most suitable. Paul

WASHINGTON LETTER
ON NEW TARIFF LAW

no doubt be disposed to wait and
give the measure a fair trial be-
fore pronouncing judgment.
During the six months in
which the tariff bill was being
considered by congress, a por-
tion of the partisan press of the
country has attempted to make
it appear that the bill was not
the product of the two houses of
congress, but was the product of
the president only, and that it
was passed only by the use of
the Big Stick. All sorts and
kinds of stories have been cir
culated as to the methods used
by the president in inducing, Or
rather compelling members of
his party to submerge their own
views and support the bill be-
cause it was SO desired by the
president. And they are yet
surfeiting the country with idle
stories in an effort to make the
American people believe that
President Wilson has become
dictator in the present admins
tration. AS a sample of one of
these stories, the following is
quoted from one of the leading
republican journals on the Pa
cific coast, and pertains to Sen
ator Walsh. AS the people of
Montana know the real facts
about which this story purports
to tell, | quote the story to show
what length the partisan press
is now going to attempt to in
jure the administration.
Here is the story: There is
a great irrigation work going on

in charge, and the farmers Of
the state are generally interested.
because they believe they will be
benefited. About the time that
Walsh began to wabble on the
tariff the work on the irrigation
project in Montana was halted.
Walsh paid no attention to this
until he received a great many
letters from the farmers of the
state urging him to see why the
project was being held up. He
went to the war department, but |
received little satisfaction. Some
how or other the information was
conveyed to Walsh that it was
probably due to the fact that he
was uncertain as to how he would T
vote on the tariff bill that the
irrigation work had been delay
ed. 1t was not long before the T
white house received word that
Walsh would vote for the tariff
bill The administration took no
chances, however, but held up
the work until the vote in the
senate had been taken. Walsh +
stood for the tariff bill. The
next day work on the irrigation
plant in Montana was resumed

cessation of work on the Mon.

resumption of work thereon is so
we'll known to the people of the
state that the alleged facts set t
forth in this story are farcical in
the extreme and need no further
comment.

(;0NPIJL JLSDRY ATTENDANCE
LAW To Be ENFORCED

Superintendent and Truan1
Officer S. K. Logan has issuet
the following statement for pub
llcation concerning the attend.
ance of children at school.
A few Of the parents and
guardians Of children in this dis
trlct appear to be very careless
OF their obligation for the educa-
ton of their children. allowing
their children to remain out of
school altogether, or permitting
them to attend irregularly. Love
of the children and u sense of
duty and obligation to give them
a fair chance in the world,
whittier they have been brought
without their consent, should be
sufficient to impel those who
have the care of children to see
that they attend school regularly.
Every parent can do some good
in the world. If not of himself,
then through his children. Re
gardless of whether a child is
past fourteen years of age, he
should be IN school.
But the law has established
this age as a limit to the extent
IN which a parent may abuse and
transgress the rights of his
child. Indeed, under certain
conditions, the age of compulsory
attendance reaches sixteen. BE.
tween the age of eight and four
teen every child must be in
school regularly and punctually,
sickness being the only legal eX-
cuse, for the full term of the
school. In case the child is phys
ically unable, or the distance is
so great as to work an acXtreme
hardship, the parents or guardian
may secure a written statement
from the superintendent oXcus-
ing him from attendance. 1t is
the duty of the truant officer to
give notice and warning; then
in case of failure Of the children
to be returned to school or to be-
come regular in attendance, the
truant officer must make COM
plant and place the offending
parent under arrest to stand
trial for violating the compulsory
attendance law. If he is cor
Vlcted he shall be fined not less
than five nor more than twenty
dollars; or he may be required to
give bond in the penal sum of
one hundred dollars. OF course,
the chief element Of punishment
is the disgrace Of being exposed
as an unnatural parent, or dis
honorable guardian.
In case a pupil has been absent
three and a half days or tardy
three times in four successive
weeks, without valid excuse to
the teacher, he shall be reported
to the principal or board to be
dealt with according to the dis
erection Of the principal or board.
EVcry pupil absent or tardy
must promptly bring to the
teacher a written excuse from
the parent or guardian.
The laws governing schools
have been found necessary in
order to get adequate results.
They are for the good Of the
schools and Of all the pupils, and
all patrons should assist in their

termined that these laws be en-
forced and nc district uIt,,1pin-

pecially excused, as provided by
law.
Supt. Logan has asked that all
the teachers of this district take
pains to report to him anV child
ren who should be in school, Civ
ing full particulars, names and
addresses Of guardians They are
also to report all cases of irregu-
lar attendance, which are to be
dealt with in the same way as
non attendance.
Supt. Logan and the board be-
lieve that the compulsory attend
ance law should be enforced. The
form of lawbreaking represented
by keeping children out of school
is perhaps. at least from the NOR
al standpoint, the least excusable
and most vicious sort, in that it
is a sin against theinnocent child
and a crime against society, and
the sentiment Of an enlightened
community does not permit it.
For certain good reasons a child
may be excused by the superin-
tendent. Where such reasons ex-
ist the parent or guardian should
apply to the superintendent for a
permit eXcusing attendance. The
community as a whole furnishes
educational facilities and should
insist that it's individual members
take advantage of them or pro-
vide suitable Instruction. at private
expense. Cases of extreme pow
erty such as would render attend
ance at school impossible, the
community itself will take care
of, for the good Of itself and of
the individual, that he may not
grow in ignorance.
The spirit in general which has
been evident in this district in
the matter Of providing school
buildings, supporting the author
ity and ensuring the effectiveness
of schools. and enforcing attend
ance, has been most splendid and
augurs we'll for the success and
future greatness of this great col
onizing enterprise, which has
been characterized in its settle
ment stage by the high hopes and
high ideals, and great courage Of
the homeseeker and home-maker,

ly tested qualities. In miniature
