Fort Smiths Red Letter Day

The sun rose on a dry Fort
Smith Sunday morning, Aug.
1st. This is the second time the
city has tried prohibition. With
the liquor, conditions have been
most unsatisfactory and the peo-
pie not willing to wait for the
state wide have declared the city
of $4,000 saloonless. This means
the dawning of a new day for
Fort Smith. Judge Little and
the saloonless city are receiving
congratulations from many
sources.
Glory to God in the highest,
peace on earth and good will to
men. The saloons are out of
Fort Smith, and out for all time.

Pope's Prayer For Peace

Paris. July 81. In his appeal
for peace which has reached
here, the pope says:
Today on the sad anniversa-
ry of the terrible conflict our
heart gives forth the wish that
the war will soon end. We raise
again our voice to utter a father
ly cry for peace. May this cry
dominating the frightful noise of
arms, reach the warning people
and their chiefs and induce
more serene intentions.
In the name of the Lord God
in the name of the Father and
Lord in Heaven; In the name of
blessed blood of Jesus-the price
of the redemption of humanity
we implore the belligerent ma
tions before divine Providence
henceforth to end the horrible
carnage, which for a year has
been dishonoring Europe.
This is the blood of brothers
that is being shed on land and
sea. The most beautiful regions
of Europe this garden of the
world-are sown with bodies
and ruin. There where recently
fields and factories thrived, can
non now roars in a frightful
manner in a frenzy of demolition
sparing neither city nor villages
and spreading the ra wages of
death.
You who before God and
man are charged with the grave
responsibility of peace and war
listen to our prayer.

From Beautiful Joe

KonaWa, Okla, July 26, 1915.
Editor SPECTATOR will try
once again to write a few lines
to the good old Spectator, our
county paper.
Well, nearly everybody is
through with their crops and
the children are thru hoeing
cotton and are going to school.
Corn is extra fine out here this
year, but cotton is not as good
as it generally is at this time of
year altho it is waist high where
the land is not sandy. Cotton in
the sandy land is not doing so
well on account of the two
weeks wet weather we had in
June.
Fruit is fine. There are some
fine orchards here. The elberta
peach crop is good; will be ready
to gather about the 1st to 18th
of August.
The old South Canadian is up
and we havn't had but one
shower here since the End of
July.
Seeing in The Spectator that
you want a recipe for canning
beans | will send you one. Pre-
pare your beans as if for cooking,
cook them done, put in jars like
canning peaches. To every half
jar pat one table spoonful vine
gar and half a teaspoonful fruit
acid. Will also send recipe for
canning cucumbers. Pick small
cucumbers. put them in clear
water, set on stove and let come
to a boil. and fill your jar. Have
prepared vinegar, like for sweet
pickle peaches, only not so sweet,
have it boiling and pour into jar
over cucumbers, and seal.
Hoping that some one will
find these recipes useful | will
close, also wishing success to
The Spectator and all its readers.
Beautiful Joe.
We publish Beautiful Joe's
recipe for canning beans, but
cannot, neither does the Depart
ment of Agriculture, RECON-
mend the use of acids in canning
vegetables.

How To Save Home
Fruits And Vegetables


Herself" campaign last fall, |
have observed a marked increase
in the production of food stuffs,
and that increase in production,
a fearful waste in this raw food
material. From this condition
has arisen new demands for pre-
serving this surplus of raw fruits
and vegetables to eat and sell.
The big market in Arkansas is
the tables of our homes, since, if
we are to advocate with much
force the growing of these fruits
and vegetables, we should be
able also to advise as to the best
methods of saving and market
ing them. In discussing the
question of the Importance of
saving home fruits and vege-
tables and before offering sug-
gestions as to how it can be
done it would seem more practic-
able that we should first discuss
the use of canning outfits that
all farm houses possess, or, de-
termine the extent of what can
be done with what we have to
do with.
THINGS We USE TO CAN WITH
All farm houses possess a
washpot. a reservoir or a lard
can. any one of which may be
used for canning fruits and We
getables by inserting a false bot
tom of wooden strips one inch
wide by one-eighth inch thick
..fiailed together like lattice work.
If an ordinary sized washpot is
used the false bottom should be
made large enough to hold six or
eight quart jars. A lid should
be provided for washpot or
whatever is used for a reservoir
for cooking purposes. Enough
water should be added after the
false bottom and jars are placed
to come to the lid of a Mason
jar.
The Hot WATER PROCESS
Sterilize jars, rubbers, and
tops by boiling Is minutes in
clear water. The jars may be
put u cold or warm water at the
begnfiing and then water be
,lb:ought to a boiling point. To
steriize means to kill germs by
boiling. Do not boil or sterilize
the tops of Economy or Schram
! jars or the rubbers of the White
Crown tops used on Mason jars,
but just wash them in hot water.
z Tomatoes: Select sound, uni
S@ormly ripened tomatoes. Place
IN tray of Gamer and boil from
kne to three minutes, or until
he skin slips easily. Make a
mixture of two-thirds sugar and
Nne-third salt, add two spoonfuls
this mixture to three pound
and one teaspoonful to two
Anhlcans. Take out and dip
pan of cold water imme-
ray and place into dish pan

SEEDING WINTER LEGUMES
Demonstrator Tyson Gives Views OF
 Seeding Winter Legumes.

In order to secure the best, and
 most uniform results, with the seed ing of cloWers, alfalfas, vetches and
 other leguminous plants at hte first planting, it becomes necessary to use what is known as inoculating or mo- |dule bacteria, on the grain at the time of seeding. Nearly every legume has it's own specific strain of nodule bac- teria For instance that of clover is different to that of alfalfa, and the COW pea is different to that of soy bean. There are two ways with which to inoculate these leguminOus plants; viz: CD By natural inocu- lation and; CD by artificial methods.
