Der Of glass jars are idle every year.
The use Of these idle jars is recon-
mended, but if none are available the
most economical and practical con-
tainers are the half-gallon and the gal
Ion tin can.
The gallon tin cans, including sold
er-hemmed caps, will cost about 6
cents apiece, but they will hold to
II ears Of corn, which is enough for a
good-sized family. II the corn is re-
moved from the can and steamed for a
few minutes, it cannot be distinguished
from the sweet corn removed from
the husk in midsummer. The corn
can be heated in the container before
opening TO serve.
An ear Of sweet corn on the average
dining car and hotel a la carte service
costs Is cents. Considering this,
canning corn on the cob for the
market might prove very profitable
investment for thrifty house keeper
and bring to her considerable pin
money.
One advantage Of sweet corn can
ned on the cob over other canned
corn is that all ,he best food values
are kept with the cob. In cutting
corn off the getm quality Of the kernel,
which keeps up its standard, is usually
lost. This germ quality is the part
Of the corn that is sought by rats and
mice when they look fol- food in the
corn bin and is the most vital part,
Much OF the corn also rendered mushy
when it is cut from the cob.
In regard to the container for corn
on the cob it might be mentioned
that for advertising and exhibition pur-
poses, glass is much more satisfactory
than the tin can, but if corn on the
cob were to be put up in large quanti-
ties as a business venture, the glass
would not be practical, being too ex
pensive, but the tin cans would prove
quite satisfactory.

Third Officer Lund1aist

The final story Of the sinking Of the
Empress Of Ireland in the St lawrence
river on may 90 last, with the loss Of
over 1000 people, seems told in the
first paragraph OF the findings OF the
commission Of inquiry Il reads:
The Storstad is responsible for the
accident because she changed her
course, The helm Of the Storstad was
ported by order Of Third Officer Jacob
l.undquist, who thought the Empress
was at port, whereas, in reality, she
was at starboard."
There are three other paragraphs Of
findings, all Of which amount to no
more than a slight lifting Of the load
from Officer Lundquist. One might
believe, too, that that is all they were
inserted for, considering that the com
mission expressly stated that we re
gret 10 have to blame anyone for this
lamentable disaster
But why did Officer Lundquist
make the terrible mistake that he did?
How could he have thought that the
Empress Of Ireland was to port when
in reality she was TO starboard? Did
he really think he saw the huge bulk
Of the Empress 10 the left, looming
through the fog; did the green lights
look red to him; or did he merely say
port when he meant TO say starboard?
Every person has made such unex
plainable slips Of the tongue. What
ever the explanation, no one will
envy the position OF Third Officer
Lundquist.
There is something rather hard to
figure out for the landsman in the
paragraph quoted above, however.
II Officer Lundquist thought the En-
press was at port, why should he want
10 port the helm OF his own ship?
II the Empress really was to the right,
wouldn't turning to the left be the
proper thing to avoid a collision?
But the report says he mi takenlv
thought the Empress was to the left
OF his ship and that therefore he turn
ed to the left.
At best, the report Of the commission
amounts to little. II the lives OF
people travelling in ships are to re-
main in jeopardy from the mistake Of
one man accidents and tragedies can
never be impossible, railroad engineers
have the lives Of a large number Of
people in their keeping and occasion
allv engineers make mistakes. Where
it is possible TO shift the responsibility
on machines OF iron and steel there is
usually more safety. Globe Democrat

Save The Straw

Save the Straw" is the message
sent out by Jewell Mayes, Secretary
OF the State Board Of Agriculture, to-
day 10 the farmers Of Missouri. He
reports that corn conditions are much
improved and says:
1t seems that hay has reached as
high a figure at this period as it has
sold for at this season for years, and
there are those who are so aggressive
as to predict that unless we have
abundance Of rains for fall pasture
that ai;hin The next eight months the
hay market may attack the record
price. II so, this will be good for the
farmer who follows the doubtful
practice Of selling hay,
However, the farmer who raises or
feeds live stock( (and such an one is
so often the best iarmer) will hardly
be found with much hay TO sell, for in
a short year along any line he will
likely be found to be the buyer, ex-
cept for a possible six reasona.
The six reasons referred to as tend
ing to protect the producer from be
coming a consumer who buys feed
are lst) blue grass pasture, in which
Missouri leads the world; (2nd) al.

ginning to take increased interest, and

composite combining the 3rd
and 5th reasons-the properly balanced
feeding Of corn siIage and wheat straw,
insuring a separate profit for both the
corn and the grain where otherwise
this years grain crop might have fig
ured a loss.
II you have not threshed the

Will Not Include Linters.

Special to Independent.
 ]. Washington, D. C., March 10. Director William J. Harris, of the Bureau of the Census, De- partment of Commerce, an- nounces change in the method of publishing the statistics of cotton.
 The annual reports on the quantity Of cotton ginned have heretofore included the quantity of linters obtained by the oil mills. Formerly there was only a comparatively small quantity of linters obtained and they were of such a grade as could be used, to some extent, for the same purposes as were the low CT grades of cotton. Many of the oil mills have now installed machinery for the closes delint- ing of the seed. This has result ed in a large increase in the to- tai quantity of linters produced each year and, at the same time, in lowering the average quality of the fiber, so that now only a small part if any, is used as a substitute for lint cotton.
 It, therefore, appears advis- able not to include the quantity }of linters in the total prodr Ation of cotton for the crop and, accordingly, the totals in the re- l port to be issued on March 20 Twill relate only to lint cotton and Twill not include linters. 1nfor- |mation as to the production of 1linters, however, will be given lin a footnote so that compara- tive figures may be computed on the basis of the reports issued in previous years.

Vote Will Be Heavier Than An

ticipated.
 Practically all persons who nave ventured a guess on the coming primary election have based it upon a light vote. This they do because there are few people in the state races, with out stopping to consider the county and district races. The vote will be far heavier than an- ticipated, for this very reason.
 In Northwest Arkansas there is such hot race on for con- gress that a large vote is assur- ed. Prosecuting Attorneys and judges are to be elected all over that section of the state, and this, too, will cause a heavier vote. About Little Rock there will be a heavy vote because of the prosecuting attorney con- test, and the same can be said for Jeffarson county and the district presided over by Judge A. B. Grace. In Southeast Ar kansas there is a decidedly warm race for prosecuting attorney, in addition to a congressional race. In Northeast Arkansas there is some interest in the race for railroad commissioner, and congressman, with similar condition in the Southern Dis trict.
 Under these conditions, es- pecially if the weather conditions are not favorable for farm work, the vote will be considerable in excess of 100000, and the can- didates may as we'll begin to figure upon the man who will win under heavy voting, being the winner in this contest.
