for concerts on the pier this summer
would maintain an excellent band, &"

get good bands and there is a scram-

New York, July 1e.-Now is the
time for housewives to can lots of
fruit if they want to save money this
winter, the National Housewives
league advised in a bulletin issued
today.
The price of tin cans has SCARED
until they are now rs per cent higher
than they were last year. Sugar is
about 8 cents a pound more than it
was at this time last year. But, de-
spite these facts, housewives should
get busy with their canning, the
league declared, making use Of all
the old glass jars that may be found.
Unless the housewives can their
own fruit they are going to pay high
prices this winter" said an official of
the league. 1.-The Gamers must
boost their prices because they have
to use tin cans. Tin plate, from which
the cans are made, is going higher
because it is a steel product and the
munitiOn contractors are making
heavy demand on the steel mills"

Iowa the Glorious State.

Iowa farmers this year raised
365,O00,000 bushels of corn-sixty
million bushels more than they rails
ed last year-an amount of corn so
great the human mind can hardly
conceive it. For this great crop of
corn Iowa is going to receive some
thing like two hundred and fifty
million dollars. In addition 10 her
corn crop, she is going to sell the US
ual amount of ether farm produce
that goes along with such bountiful
crops of grain-cattle and hogs and
horses and poultry. Iowa is a glori-
Gus state to live in. In point Of
wealth it ranks fifth in the Union.

THANKSGIVING, 1860.
Here's Meager Menu That One
Kansas Family Had.

Hoe Cake.
Prairie Chicken.
Dried Peaches.
Coffee CO.
Such was the prideful Thanksgiv-
ing Day dinner that the Valentine
family sat down to in Peoria,
Franklin county, Kansas, in the fam
inc year 1860. And it was so much
better than the Thanksgiving din
ner that their neighbors had, that
the Valentines were quite looked no
! to, says an article in Profitable
Farming Magazine, st. Joseph, Mo.
That was a year that made the
pioneer know the meaning of the
last chapter of Ecclesiastes, for
there had been no rain for eighteen
months, the prairies were parched,
there was no corn and no wheat
scarcely, and even the wild animals
were gaunt and poor for lack Of
food
Judge and Mrs. ID. M. Valentine
had come to Kansas from Iowa and
had settled in the county seat, hop
ing that it would become a great
city. Instead it became merely dry.
The Marias des Cygne river nearby
was the source of the water supply
and it had become a ribbon of arid
sand The only way to get water
was to dig a hole in this sand and
wait for the moisture to collect slow
ly in the hole.
So there is no wonder that food
was scarce and that the corn 10
make the hoe cake and to parch for
the coffee" was treasured like jew
els. The prairie chicken was easy,
as these fowls came in numbers to
roost in the sumachs that fringed
the Valentine yard and they could
lie shot from the window of the
house. The dried peaches had been
taken as a law fee. The sweetening
for the coffee was the traditional
long sweetening of the pioneer
sorghum molasses.
And all this was only fifty-six
ears ago.

He Bet on Hughes

On the morning of Nov. 8 a smiling
young man appeared on Broadway
Albert Lea, sporting a new overcoat
which he had won from a friend who
had been reckless enough to bet on
Wilson. For quite length of
period the young man was clipper
and full of cheer; and then a change
came DER the spirit of his dreams
as he learned that he must either
surrender the new overcoat or pay
for two. The young man has our
profoundest sympathy. We know
just how he feels, only it is less ex-
pensive in our case. We've only lost
the new oVercoat we wagered with
ourselves on Hughes election, while
some have lost postoffices
