Canning
Demonstration
At Robinson

The ladies andgirls of the Rob-
inson district were favored with a
canning demonstration Tuesday
afternoon of this week. The dem
onstration was given by Leland S.
Parke, state leader of boys and
girls club work employed by the
University of Arizona, and the
federal government cooperating.
Mr.. Parke demonstrated the cold
pack method of canning which
has number of advantages over
the old method or hot pack:
1. Very little work over the hot
stove.
2. Products retain their natural
shape and color.
3. Objectionable acids are re-
moved through blanching.
4. A1Cdu nIlO SdulUdIY.
s. Reduces losses to minimum; ;
s. Corn, beans and peas can be
put up with excellent results.
Why does this method insure
such good results? Because the
top rubbers, Contents and Jar are
all sterilized at once, there being
no chance for the germ laden air
to enter.
The met hod was perfected by
the United States department of
agriculture, and is being given to
the people all over the United
States through the media of the
agriculture extension services of
the different state universities.
At the close of the demonstra-
ton the girls present organized a
canning club, and some of the
ladies interested in the work, but
too old to be club member, signi-
fed their Willingness to join as
honorary members. Anyone desir-
ing literature and information on
canning should write Leland S.
Parke, state club assent, Tucson,
Arizona.

Work on
Crossing
Commenced

The Southern Pacific railway
company have gang of carpens
ters at work on the crossing on the
Benson Short Line highway, about
eight miles west of here, and the
work will be completed within
few days.
Heretofore it was necessary for
travellers over this line to cross un-
der bridge at this point. The
bridge was low and numerous au-s
tomobile tops were injured in gc7
ing under the bridge.
The building of the crossing
will complete the opening of the
Benson Short Line between Ben
son and Tucson. However, not
much travel is expected at present
over the line from the Borderland
at Tombstone as repair work on
the st. David bridge is now block
ing traffic.
The Sunset Short Line from
Lordsburg is in good condition and
some travel is coming over this

as far as rates are concerned. The
total increase from this source, he
witness said, would be $1s,500 a year
which is a part of the $4,000, 900
which the forty.one western railroad
systems hope to add to their annual
revenue, II all the increases asked for
are granted.
Rice Rates Are Low
Rice rates were made extremely
low to foster the industry" said Mr..
Owen.
There was vast area of land ~.
Louisiana and Texas which produced
nothing but crawfish holes. Expert
ments were begun with rise and the
railroads put the rates low to build
up the industry. Rice was first pro
duced along the Mississippi and New
Orleans was the original market.
Around 1897 interior Louisiana began
to produce and Crowley is now the
center. In 1900 southern Texas along
the gulf began and later Arkansas
started Now that this industry has
grown until 1t no longer needs the
support Of Improbable rates, the
railroads feel they should handle the
commodity on a paying basis.
THE present rates on brewers
rise, which is the lowest grade of
rise, is lower than the rate on junk.
The rate on lumber from New Or.
leans to st. Louis is cents higher
than on rice. The proposed advance
rates on rice would be only 1 cent
ligher than on lumber"

Honolulu, March 30 After con.

is expected to play an important part
in finding the submarine "a sub
merged somewhere outside OF the
harbor here since Thursday, it was
announced tonight that the work
will be finished during the night and,
test made tomorrow morning.
If found satisfactory the divine bell
will be lowered from small dredge

submarine.
The graphing chains of the dredge
California have kept hold all day OF
an object at a great depth which is
believed to be that of the F.4. Res
cuers who have worked without rest
day and night for the last three days
are confident that the raising of this
object will reveal that 1t is the lost
submarine, but all hope that the
twenty one men trapped in 1t may
be alive has been abandoned.

Rear Admiral Moore at Honolulu
cabled to Secretary Daniels the fol.
lowing resolved by wireless from
Lieutenant Smith commanding the
searching fleet:
We know location within radius Of
fifty yards; depth varies from forty
three to sixty fathoms; Honolulu har
Dor; Honolulu light bearing "a de-
grees; true distance $500 yards.
This dispatch was in response to
one sent earlier in the day by Rear
Admiral Victor Blue, acting secretary
of the navy, urgently asking for ex.
act information as to the position
of the submarine. 1t was the first
report the department had received
since Admiral Moore cabled Friday
night that the boat had been locat.
ed in fifty fathoms of water.
All hope that any of the crew of
twenty one might be alive was aban-
doned two days ago, but department
officials and naval officers here are
waiting anxiously for news that the
bodies have been recovered or for
any information throwing light on
how the vessel went to her doom.
1t is feared, however, that the sub.
marine may prove to be the tomb
Of her crew and that It never will
be known what accident befell her.
Naval officers say that II the boat is
covered by fifty fathoms or 800 feet
of water 1t is very unlikely that she
can be raised.
Reports that grapnels have brought
up part Of the superstructure of the
F4 have not been confirmed by off,
cial dispatches. Officials think the
presence Of oil and the rising Of bub.
les to the surface must have enabled
the searchers to definitely locate the
submarines position.
