AUTOMOBILE OR
BATHTUB NEEDED

Ames, June 28.-Should farmer
buy an automobile when he does not
have bathtub In the house? This Is
the question that is raised by DR.. John
Ise Of the department Of economics
of Iowa State college after estimat-
ing that there are not half as many
of the modern bathing devices In Iowa
as there are of the modern ways Of
joyriding. While figures are not avail
able for the whole state. information
from certain counties shows this to
be true.
In Orange township. Blackhawk
county. which is an unusually wealthy
and cultured country community, there
are Just few more than half as many
bathtubs as autos. In most parts OF
the state there can be nothing like
this number.
Iowa has done lot of Boosting
about her number of automobiles. Is
1t too much to hope that some day she
may regard bathtubs statistics OF
equal Importance" asks DR.. Ise.

Dubuque, June 2S.-Since the first
Of last January when East Dubuque.
ILL.,, became the refreshment parlor

cars that women entered protest. even
the women of East Dubuque, who have
voted to prolong the lives OF the sa-
looms in that town. The saloon men,
alert to curry favor at that time, with
women as we'll as men, because their
votes counted too, made a joint fund
and since have been operating large
automobiles between the towns, auto
mobiles to serve women only.
Now the saloon men have tired OF
that expense and feeling safe for
couple of years at least. have served
notice that in the near future, prob
ably on the end OF the present month.
they will discontinue the automobile
service for women only.

COLD PACK WORK
BEING ADVOCATED
JUNIOR WORK LEADER At AMES
EXPLAINS NEW CANNING
MEANS.

Ames, June 28.-"Canning fruit and
vegetables by the cold pack method.
advocated by the U. S. department OF
agriculture and the extension division
of Iowa State college, is so simple,
economical and safe that Wherever.
it has been taught in Iowa to the boys
and girls canning clubs 1t has become
quite popular says Prof. E. c. Bishop
state leader Of the Junior work IN
Iowa.
There are two steps in this method.
The first is the cold pack. The vege'
tables or fruits are cleaned and pre-
pared as desired and then packed raw
In glass jars or cans. With vegetables,
hot water is added; with fruit, sugar
syrup. The covers are then put on
the jars, but not completely sealed.
An allowance Is made for expansion
from the inside.
The second step is the hot water
bath. The filed jars are placed in hot
water in any vessel large enough for
the water to cover the tops of the jars
for an inch or two. There should be
false bottom of some kind to hold
the jars off the bottom 80 that the
water will circulate beneath. Time
tables will tell how many minutes dill
ferent products should remain in the
boiling water.
At the close of the period, the jars
are removed, the tops sealed down and
the jars set away to cool.
Persons desiring more information
or to organize canning club for re.
ceiying instruction in this method
should write to the agricultural extern
sion division, Iowa State college,
