At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil last Thursday evening the owners
of land were notified to cut the high
hedge fences growing on both sides
of the road leading to the cemetery.
The state law requires that all hedge
fences be trimmed down to heighth
of not to exceed five feet every two
years. When allowed to grow high
they cause the snow to drift in and
obstruct the road. This will make a
fine Improvement on the cemetery
road, and go a long ways toward pre-
venting the road from getting bad
the coming winter and spring.

A LONG ROLL

Just think of a petition oyer
four miles long and inscribed
with evor one million names
asking for votes for women!
Makes one dizzy to imagine
unrolling such scroll of sigma
lures. This is the number OF
names the Congressional Union
has secured on behalf of woman
suffrage Knocks out 1.-THE argu-
ment that votes for women is
not lively and popular demand.
The petition will be unrolled on
the East steps of the Capitol at
Washington and will be a sight
worth seeing. AS the procession
of suffragists starts from the
Capitol steps. the petition will
slowly stretch all along Pennsyl-
vanla avenue to the White House
where President Wilson will be
enabled to view the lengthy
demand. It is a long, long way
for suffrage but it arrives most
surely.

dorse woman suffrage resolutions

MOVING DAY AND ITS WOES
Mental and Physical Impressions
That Are Caused by Leaving
Old Home.

The moving Of ones household Ell
fects entails an amount Of physical Ia
Dor which leaves the mind in such Il
condition that there is little desire to
reflect on the process in the abstract.
But il may De that this exhaustion
which accompanies moving. which in
some cases amounts to a painful res
ignation of the functions OF the senses
is about as much mental as physical.
To live in house for any length Of
time at all is to like it. says a writer
in the indianapolis News. The plumb
ing may not suit. the roof may leak.
the cellar may be a sOddcn retreat for
unwelcome guests whom neither poi
sonOus powder nor traps will eyter-
inmate, the floors may be hopeless and
the whole aspect Of the place may be
repugnant, but when ii comes down 10
the actual departure the TACT that, in
spite Of its deficiencies. the place was
really a home looms larger than the
faults. II house is not home
Leither is furniture, but somehow the
two of them taken together seem TO
approximate a home They need only
a few def touches BY an experienced
hand. and the presence of an inter
ested person or two to enable them to
perform their function in the world
But when the furniture is taken
from a house it becomes a pitiable
thing, indeed 1t stands a mere hulk
interfering with the free play of the
winds. robbing the earth beneath of its
natural right to nourish vegetation,
and becoming after few short days
Of idleness, the home OF spiders, For
Rent signs and a general air of myS-
terry When a man falls into disgrace
he can hide until he finds an oppor-
tunty to re-establish himself among
his kind, but there is no chance for
hou.e to rae itself, and then come
back at the behest Of some tired house
hunter who may overlook its defects
and consent to give it trial in the
hope that it will redeem itself II
must stand among its kind with its
story written across its face. The
fault may not be its own. for people

IN CANNING SEASON
SECRET OF SUCCESS IN PUTTING
UP" SUPPLIES.
Absolute Sterilization Must Be OBJ
tained-Best and Easiest Methods
of Getting the Best Results
From Fruit That Is Used.

# anybody appreciates the kindness
of Mother Nature 1t is the practical
housekeeper This is especially true
in summertime when by her bOuntlful
store OF fruits and vegetables she in
creases the housekeeper's store at lit
tie cost and contributes much TO re-
duce her labor
There are several methods of can
ming, and the secret Of success in each
Is absolute sterilization. The best
and easiest methods Of canning are
cooking the fruits in jars in an oven;
cooking the fruits In jars in steamer
Or in boiling water, and stewing the
fruit before it is put into the jars.
Glass is the most satisfactory jar to
use in canning. Glass jars are becom-
ing SO universally in favor that they
are taking the place Of tin cans for
everything; even for tomatoes. They
are more economical than tin, for al
though the glass costs more in the be
ginning it lasts and can be used over
and over again. While there are many
kinds Of jars. the preference should
usually be given to those with wide
mouths In canning fruits or jelly
it is important that the fruits or ber-
ries should not be over-ripe. Fruit
for canning should be fresh, solid and
not over-ripe. If Over-ripe some OF
the spores may survive the boiling
and fermentation takes place in
short time In preparing the fruit
remove all stems, then peel with a
silver knife, core or remove the seeds
or pits as the case may be. Peaches,
pears or apples may be kept from dis
coloring IL they are dropped as they
are pared into cold water to which
little vinegar or lemon juice may be
added
