Mrs Watts Webb, county agent,
was here last Saturday and or
ganized a class of 20 ladies under
the Home Economics department
of the Extension Work. During
this week she will organize girls
under 20 years of age with a
Canning Club. DUR n G
the gathering of the ladies
above referred to, Miss Baine,
one of the the teachers in Steens
Creek High School here, made a
creditable show of the work done
in different lines by her 10th
grade sclass of pupils. She also
spread table of delightful re-
freshmeuts for the assembled
crowd which every one fully en-
joyed.
We are all delighted over Mrs.
Webb's success here and the
prospects ahead for an organized
canning club. To the young
girls who propose to become
members of the canning club we
would say they could not en-
gage in a more advantageous
work than learning how to save
summer vegetables for cold win
ter use in their homes, saying
nothing about the money that
can be made by the sale OF their
surplus canned goods. Canning
is easily learned by the bright
minded misses of IL to Is years
of age, and we would urge every
young girl under 20 years of age
to join the proposed canning club
at the commencement.

SUBMARINE K-4
TAKES FIRST run
TOPEARL HARBOR

Needing some fuel oil for her en-
gines, the submarine K-4 took a run
over to Pearl Harbor today, swal-
lowed 60O0 or 1000 gallons of the POI
tential motive power and came back
to port In this way she saved the
navy department the expense Of bring
ing the oil over here and at the same
time gave her crew some exercise.
The K-7 was out for an hour and
half or two hours this morning, max
ing short submerged runs in her usu-
al efficient manner. Each boat of tho
X fiotilla was out in the harbor at
various times this morning, trying out
the engines. diving apparatus, safety
appliances, and in other ways seeing
that everything is in working order.
Lieut.. Joseph v. Ogan, commanding
the third submarine division, said at
noon today he could not state definite
ly when the flotilla will be ordered to
change its base from this port to
Pearl Harbor. Il may get orders any
morning., he said, and again the
navy department ne eeit quite a
while before it seeds over there.

CHICAGO, IM.-Members of the

PECULIAR CASE
IN MIL AUKEE:

Attorney F. R. Bentley has returned
from Milwaukee where he has been en-
gagged for some days on case of a very
peculiar nature. In 1870 man MARI
ed widow who had son. The boy was
taken into the family, was baptized as
son and his name was so written in the
Bible but he was never legally adopted.
There was also correspondence
to show that the intent to adopt was
there. At the age of 81 the young man
left home, his mother died, the father
married again and died, leaving the
property in the possession of the second
widow. The amount involved is about
$500, OO0 the widow desiring the whole
amount and the son his share or one
half.
