show the Christians necessary equip.
ment for service. Miss Elizabeth Smith
read very interesting letter from
missionary in India who was work
ing at the present time near the
mountain Jungle, where tigers and
leopards are as numerous as rabbits
in our ordinary woods. In few brief
statistics the writer showed the prog
ress of the work in India. The Bible
women in her district are now teach
ing the Bible to over one thousand
women. One of the best things ex-
perienced by the missionaries is the
tearing down Of the idols by the peo-
pie as they receive the light of the
Gospel.

danger and in urgency" The dele
the need Of the world and the mar
velous way in which Christ and Chris

carried to them and it is up to tn
christian world to unite in unparral

Canning Factory
Hard at1W v
One Thousand Cans of Tomatoes |
One Days Output; Scarcity of
Help a Great Drawback
CARLOAD GOODS FOR ST. PAUL
Pumpkins and Ground Cherries TX
Be Cared For In The Next
Few Weeks

A visit to the Scenic City Canning
Factory during the present busy sea
son, is full of interest and revela-
ton to the visitor if he has never
seen canning done by wholesale meth
DDS. The tomato and bean season are
now at their height and the factory
is bee hive of energy. The utter
impossibility of securing enough help
and efficient help has been a serious
handicap, and one that the manage
ment seems likely to have to combat
during the entire season.
When the factory is working with
full force the output is about 1000
quart cans of tomatoes per day. These
are canned under absolutely sanitary
methods, being washed twice and ster
ilized in boiling water before putting
into cans. The cans are packed, 100
quarts or $50 pints at time in
huge wire rack, which is then lifted
by pulley into the tank, where they
are kept at a boiling temperature for
about thirty minutes.
No solder is used about the cans,
the covers being put on by use of a
crimper, which Theoretically seals
them. Labels are attached by hand
and the cans then packed in cases, "a
to case, ready for shipping.
The owners of the factory have had
nearly forty acres planted to vege-
tables this year, including the patches
of beans, corn, cabbage, cucumbers
and 10000 tomato plants, beside the
earlier vegetables which were used
largely to supply the local demand
for fresh vegetables. Dill pickles ano
sauer kraut are also being "put up
now, and this work will continue fCl
the next few weeks.
Much of the product Of the factory
is shipped to St. Paul markets, car
Z load of beans and tomatoes being
shipped soon to meet contract
WatertaMa also buys a large proper
ton of the output.
Later in the season the factory vii
: take care of a large quantity of pump
kins, and some ground cherries vii
be preserved.
While the factory building AM
equipment are small and in som
measure incomplete, the results Oh
tanned are remarkable considering III
t youth of the enterprise which wa
started only short time ago. TIL
owners, the Robbins Brothers, hav
overcome many of the obstacles in
: cident upon the starting of such
: business and have the necessary en-
! terprise to make such business gro'
: and become one Of real value to IT,
t town. The most serious obstacle T
: it's success is the scarcity of goo
t labor during the busy seasons.

F. A. Japs Says
Mahnomen Is
Hard to Beat

F. A. Japs returned last week from
his third trip into the wilds of north
western Minnesota, and is even more
enthusiastic about the future of that
country than he was upon the return
from his first trip, made several years
ago. Franks enthusiasm led him to
say, 81 wish / had ten thousand dol
lars to invest! I'd plant it in that
country up there and watch it grow.
1t has the same chance for growing
that money planted in Redwood Coun-
ty in land at twenty-five and thirty
dollars per acre several years ago,
has grown to ninety and a hundred
dollars now. The country is every
bit as good as this, and | know, be-
cause I've driven through it by sew
eral different routes and at al times
of the year" Mr.. Japs purchased a
quarter section, and rather regrets
that it isn't an entire section, if his
mental attitude is to be judged from
| HIS WOIOS.
Fred Warner of North Redwood
was also a purchaser of Mahnomen
County land last week, making the
trip at about the same time and to
the same locality as Mr.. Japs. Both
purchased through the agency of
Messrs. Farrell, Keefe and Arnett of
the Mahnomen Land Company, who

THE BUSINESS OF LIFE

"To hold the vision of a final
arrival at some fitting destina-
ton; to maintain undiminished
a sense of personal worthiness;
to be defeated in each foolish
dream of the sounder life, and
so to be disciplined into larger
vision, made more sure by ad-
versity; to be delayed for most
of a lifetime, and yet to believe
in the strength of human spirit
to surmount pain, outlive sin
and defeat malace and envy;
to believe in the gradual but
all-conquering power of good
will; to be saddened but not en-
Uttered; to be beaten but not
conquered. That is the stern
business set before u.s."

5000 MEN EXPECTED TO COME.

Des Moines, July 3.-Every man
in the four regiments of the Iowa
National guard is to be vacclnated
for typhoid fever before he reports
for duty in Des Moines Aug. 10 for
the maneuver camp, according to
Adj. Gen. Guy Logan. The lull in
the army's activities in Mexico ap-
parently has made no difference in
the plans of the war department for
immunizing the Iowa soldiers to this
disease.
The state department has delayed
the general vaccination of the guard
so as to observe the results of the
serum on the two Des Moines mill
tary companies. The third stage OF
the operation will be reached in "a
few days. So far the vaccination
process has been satisfactory, 1t is
said.
Adjutant General Logsp announc-
ed yesterday that he intends to put
the rest OF the guard through the
same operation before Aug. 10, pro-
viding the government is able to
supply the serum.
There is considerable activity at
the offices of the Iowa military de-
partment. Adjutant General Logan
and Captain Ball, United States army
officer on duty with the Iowa guard
are planning the details for the ma
neuver camp. A schedule for the
movement of the troops over the
railroads is now being made out. Th'
