Fruit Waste TO be Saved.

Fruit growers of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana will
meet in Spokane on Nov, 10 for
the purpose of establishing a CO.
operative organization for the
utilization of waste fruits of the
Pacific Northwest, by manufact-
uring by-products on a large
scale. Those who are directing
the preliminary work of the pro-
posed organization are proceed
ing along two lines.
First, to promote the healthy
growth of canning, evaporating
and otherwise treating fruits
that ordinarily are wasted, and
second. to assist in opening up
markets for such products. On
ly about 60 per cent, of the fruit
crop of the northwest marketed,
the remaining 40 per cent, being
wasted.
The Panama canal has reduced
the rate on dried fruit to the At
lantic seapoard from IS to 80
cents and on canned fruit from
81 to 40 cents per hundred. This
will lend great impetus to the by
product business.

Girls Save Children.

Not long ago there was an ex-
plosion in a tailor shop located
on the first floor of a Boston ten
ement house. The house was
set on fire. and two girls, Mary
Doherty and Anna McGahan,
proved themselves heroines by
saving the lives of several chill
dren and their frightened moth
ers. Mary Doherty was visiting
the mother of a family of six,
with rooms on the second floor.
At the sound of the explosion,
the mother picked up the two
younger children and started
down the stairs, calling to the
others to follow her. But the
little ones were too frightened
to obey, and it was left to Mary
to marshal them down the stairs
in good order.
Anna McGahan had dropped in
to spend the afternoon with her
aunt, who has four little folks.
living on the fourth floor of the
building. By the time they dis
covered the fire it was too late
to leave by the door. and Anna
started her four cousins to the
roof. On the way she stopped
to pick up a family of nine chill
dren with their frightened moth
err. By the time they reached
the roof, the smoking was blind
ing, but the girl heroine kept
her head and got all her charges
safely across to the roof of the
next building. the owner of
which was waiting to show them
the way down.

Second.-SeIect the ears from
promising stalks that are leafy,
OF medium size and which carry
one good ear attached about
three feet from the ground.
Third.-Select only well form
en- ears with plump. deep ker-
nels and good tips and butts.
Fourth. Avoid ears with long
or short shsnks or those attacked
to poorly formed stalks.
When taken from the stalk
corn usuallyconcains from 20 to
80 per cent. of water. The most
convenient way of Kidding the
corn Of this excessive moistureis
by the use of artificial heat, and
the corn should be we'll dried out

winter.
Corn should never be placed
against the south side of a build
