with sharp knife, taking care not to
cut off pieces of the cob. Spread thin
ly on trays, and place in position to
dry. Stir occasionally until dry.
(b) Boil or steam on the cob eight
to ten minutes to set the milk. To
improve flavor a teaspoonful of salt
to gallon of water may be used.
Drain well and cut corn from cob,
using very sharp and flexible knife.
Cut grains fine, only half way down
to the cob, and scrape out the re-
mainder of grain, being careful not to
scrape off any of the chaff next to the
cob. Dry from three to four hours at
10 degrees to 145 degrees Fahren-
heit. When field corn is used, good,
plump roasting-ear stage is the proper
degree of ripeness. A pound of dried
corn per dozen ears is an average
yield.
(c) The corn may be dried in the
sun. Dry in oven ten to fifteen min
utes, and finish drying in the sun. Sun
drying, of course, is not satisfactory
in moist weather
Pack in cartons or boxes for few
days to condition"
Lima Beans.
Lima beans can be shelled from the
pod and dried. If gathered before ma

must be dried uniformly through and
through.
1t will be found advisable also to
condition" practically all dried vege-
tables and fruits. This is best done
in small way by placing the mate
rial in boxes and pouring it from one
box into another once day for three
or four days, so as to mix 1t thor
oughly and give to the whole mass an
even degree of moisture. If the mate
rial is found to be too moist, it should
be returned to the drying trays for Y
short drying.
Directions for Drying.
Many of the products for which dl-
rections are given here may be dried
either with or without preliminary
blanching. In such cases both meth
DDS are described. Alternative meth
DDS are designated by letters.
Sweet Corn.
Only very young and tender corn
should be used for drying, and it
should be prepared at once after gath

five minutes, long enough to set the
milk. Cut the kernels from the cob

move surface moisture and dry from
three to three and one-half hours at
same temperature as string beans.
Peppers.
(a) Peppers may be dried by split
ting on one side, removing seed, dry
ing In the air, and finishing the dry
ing In the drier at 40 degrees Fahren-
heit. A more satisfactory method is
to place peppers in biscuit pan in oven
and heat until skin blisters, or to
steam peppers until skin softens, peel,
split In half, take out seed, and dry
at ITO degrees to 140 degrees Fahren-
heit. In drying thick-feshed peppers
like the pimento, do not increase heat
too quickly, but dry slowly and even
ly.
(b) Small varieties of red peppers
may be spread in the sun until wilted
and the drying finished in the drier,
or they may be dried entirely In the
sun.
(c) Peppers often are dried whole
If they are large they can be strung
on stout thread; If small, the whole
plant can be hung up to dry.
Spinach and Parsley.
Spinach that is in prime condition
of green's should be prepared by care
full washing and removing the leaves
from the roots. Spread the leaves on
trays to dry thoroughly. Sliclng will
greatly facilitate drying.
Parsley should be treated in the
same, way as spinach.
Herbs.
Celery tops, parsley, mint, sage, and
herbs of all kinds need not be
blanched, but should be washed well
and dried in the sun or in the drier.
These are good for favoring soups.

METHODSOF DRYING
Three Ways Applicable in Making
Dried Products.
SHRED OR CUT into SLICES
When Artificial Heat Is to Be Used,
Freshly Cut Fruits and Vegeta-
bes Should Be Exposed First
to Gentle Heat.
From FARMERS BULLETIN S41, United
States Dena artment of A Anriciiltilrol i

From FARMERS BULLETIN S41, United
states Department of Agriculture)
Three main ways of drying are ap-
plicable in the home manufacture of
dried fruits and vegetables, namely,
sun drying, drying by artificial heat,
and drying by air blast. These, of
course, may be combined In general,
most fruits or vegetables, to be dried
quickly, must first be shredded or cut
into slices, because many are too large
to dry quickly or are covered with a
skin, the purpose of which is to pre-
vent drying out. When freshly cut
fruits or vegetables are to be dried by
means of artificial heat, they should
be exposed first to gentle heat and
later to the higher temperatures. If
the air applied at the outset is Of too
high a temperature, the cut surfaces
of the sliced fruits or vegetables be-
come hard, or scorched, covering the
juicy interior so that it will not dry
out. Generally it is not desirable that
the air temperature in drying should
go above 140 degrees to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, and it Is better to keep it
well below this point. Insects and in
sect eggs are killed by exposure to
heat of this temperature.
Degree of Heat.
1t is important to know the degree
of heat in the drier, and this cannot
be determined very accurately except
by using a thermometer. Inexpensive
oven thermometers can be found on
the market, or an ordinary chemical

thermometer can be suspended in the
drier. If a thermometer is not used,
the greatest care should be given to
the regulation of the heat. The tenn
perature in the drier rises rather
quickly and the product may scorch
unless close attention is given. The
reason sun drying is popularity be-
lieved to give fruits and vegetables
a sweeter flavor lies probably in the
fact that in the sun they never are
scorched, whereas in the oven or over
a stove scorching is likely to occur
unless careful attention Is given them.
Drying of certain products can be
completed in some driers within two
or three hours. The time required for
drying vegetables varies. However, it
can be determined easily by a little
experience on the part Of the person
doing the drying. The material should
be stirred or turned several times dur
ing the drying in order to secure a
uniform product.
The ability to judge accurately as
to when fruit has reached the proper
condition for removal from drier can
be gained only by experience. When
sufficiently dried it should be so dry
that it is impossible to press water
out of the freshly cut ends of the
pieces, and will not show any Of the
natural grain of the fruit on being
broken, and yet not so dry that it will
snap or crackle. 1t should be leathery
and pliable.

Washington.-Re men who
resist the selective draft law face
trial by court martial for desertion
and the possibility of execution for
desertion in time of war; The whole
eral government, states, cities or coun-
ties will be employed to bring them
to book.
This was announced in formal
statement by Brig. Gen. Enoch H..
Crowder, provost marshal general, in
response to reports from North Caro-
lima, Georgia and Oklahoma, of anti
draft disturbances. AS yet the power
of the federal government has not
been invoked by the governors of the
three states nor by the agents of the
Department Of Justice.
Oklahoma City, Okla.-With one of
their leaders dead, another captured
and at least twenty-five members of
their bands in the hands of peace Of
ficers posse leaders Saturday night
were of the opinion the backbone of
the rising of objectors to the selec-
tive draft in Oklahoma was under con-
troll. The outlaws have been scat
tered into such small bands that fur
ther success of the resistance is be-
lieved impossible.
Wallace Cargill, alleged leader of
one of the bands, shot through the
stomach when officers encountered
objectors near Rock Point, died Three
others besides Cargill were said to
have been captured.
In Federal District Court here the
demurrer to the indictments of the
eleven alleged members of the Jones
family" an anti-draft organization,
was overruled by Judge John H. Cot
terel. Bail in each case was fixed at
$500. Trial of the men will be in
Enid early in September.
Between Konawa and Sasakwa,
three other prisoners were taken, c.
c. Brewer and his son and Robert
Cargill. They were taken to Konawa
after they had thrown down their
weapons and had attempted to flee.
From prisoners the name of virtual
ly every leader has been ascertained.
Federal authorities here declare the
movement has been widespread but
has been so loosely organized that
quick failure was bound to be the in
evitable outcome.
Captures of the resisters, members
of the so-called Working Glass
Union," the Jones family" and other
organizations of kindred beliefs have
numbered 1913, according to the best
count available at Sasakwa, in Sem

of the various posses.

draft objector, was killed, and posse
man, Jack Paige, was wounded in the

 The prize winning essay follows: The Advantages of a Municipal Art
 Collection
 The study and enjoyment of works of art is of great educational and tunity to come into touch with great masterpieces of painting and sculpture is one which should be extended to the community by means of a muni- cipal art collection.
 Thus the many may enjoy the privilege which other wise is confined ID the lew; to those whose wealth en- ables them to indulge their tastes and to provide their homes with fine ex- amples of the artists creations.
 The question may arise in the minds of some; what possible practical need can an art collection in Phoenix meet |? meaning what value can it have to the community in dollars and cents ? For the mind that is determined to judge the merits of every pr0nnsal uy such standard. we have. no argu- ment 1 need but remind the reader That there are higher purposes than the utilitarian, and higher needs thar lhr mattrialistic.

 The man Who puts a beautiful home into community is a public benefac- tor.
