WILLIAM B. WEIGH BADLY
Prominent Summit Township
Farmer Gets Arm Caught in
Silo Blower.

/ Thursday afternoon of last
week William B. Meleeh of Sum-
nit township, while helping his
neighbor, Grover Gilbert, fill his
silo had his right arm and shout
der badly bruised by being caught
in the blower of the ensilage cut
ter.
Mr.. Welch had his arm in the
blower, which was stopped, clean
ing out some refuse and the en-
gineer, thinking that he had fin
ished, started the engine. The
blades of the big blower which
makes about 1900 revolutions per
minute, caught his arm and
pounded it into a. unrecognizable
mass. The shoulder was dislocat~
ed and all the ligaments were
torn loose and the arm badly lac
Grated.
He was placed in an automobile
and rushed to town where Drs.
Christy and Chastain dressed the
arm and shoulder and later in the
evening he was taken to his home.
SO badly was he mashed and
bruised that before the doctors
could be reached the arm was
swelled several times it's natural
size. Dr. Christy informs us that
barring complications, Mr.. Welch
will recover the use of his arm,
but that it was close call. Mr..
Wclch was recently candidate for
the democratic nomination for
county treasurer and his many
friends will regret to learn of his
serious accident and hope for his E
speedy recovery.

To Make Apple Jelly "Jell. -

1t is just about as easy to make
jelly from apples, ounces. peach
es, or pears as from any other
kind Of fruit if Xon know how,
according to Miss Addie D. Root
Of the Missouri College Of Agri-
culture. All that is necessary is
to add enough tartaric or citric
acid to the juice to make it taste
about as sour as good sour APP
pie. This usually means. about a
level teaspoonful to a quart of
juice. 1t, destroys the delicate
flavor of peach and pear juice
somewhat but improves the flavor
of sweet apple and ounce juice.
BlackbcrrieS, blueberries, rasp-
berries, partially ripe grapes, crab
apples, sour apples, and plums us
ually make good jelly because
they have enough acid already
and also contain a substance
called pectin which must be pres
ent and must be brought out with
the juice by heating if jelly is to
be made. That is why jelly-mak-
crs do not simply press ont the
Juice from cold fruit. All apples
and similar fruits have enough
pectin for .Ielly-making purposes.
In making apple jelly, cover the
fruit with water before cooking
and boil twenty or thirty minutes.
After boiling has continued ten or
fifteen minutes. add about three
quarters of a cup of sugar for
every cup Of juice. The sugar
that will be required should have
been measured into pan and
warmed in the oven for Il while
before it is added. 1t should be
carefully stirred in to prevent
burning.
AS soon as the glasses are filled
with the hot jelly they should be
set in a cool place while rllinr
takes place. They should he
sealed from the air but if the Jelly
has been slightly overlooked, it
may be covered with panes of
glass and allowed to harden in the
sun. When it is well-Set pour hot
paraifin ever the top and put
clean tin covers on the glasses.
Store them away in a dry, cool
place where the jelly cannot mold.

Swimming Pool Opened.

At 7 30 Friday evening Butler S
new swimming pool was opened to
the public. and from that time on
till the closing time the pool was
filled with a splashing, laughing
happy crowd of youngsters, and
some that were not youngsters.
The receipts for the opening night
were nearly 500 and as the pool
has been well patronized every
evening since, it bids fair to be IA
big success.

culture has issued ALI agricultural
map of the state showing the best

by the Hessian fly in Missouri in

unless the farmers cooperate and
use preventative measures, such as
crop rotation, kill all the volun-
teer wheat on the farm, thus de-
his food supply, and SOW
ing wheat on q fly free date.
