ably to stop.
The arrangement was that Talbot
walk up to the club, and establish an
abb and his innocence by telephoning
to city garage for help. The rest
was left to Huff and Lethbrldge. A
quarter of mile away across the golf
links, they would have car in which
to make their getaway.
Lethbrldge was only lukewarm.

loot would be thrown over the wall.
She was there much earlier, hands
cold, lips shaking with nervousness.
Always old Hilary had done these
things. She was profoundly frightened.
Ward, walking rapidly home from
the club, saw her there. a little after
midnight There was a young moon,
and at first he thought he must be mis-.
taken. Then, when he was sure of her,
he ran up the shallow steps. The glad.
ness that was over him rang out in his
deep voice.

CONSERVE MONEY
SAYSCHANCELLOR
Position at Close of War
Will Require All Avail
able Funds
(Rv Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 16.-Warning that
Great Britain could not go on spend
ing money at the present rate with
out serious disadvantage, was given
recently in the house of commons by
Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor OF
the exchequer. This disadvantage,
he said, would be realized more COM
pletely when the war was over than
now. So long as the government
was raising funds for prosecution Of
the war by loans, Mr.. Law told the
house of commons, the country was
living in a false atmosphere. Tho
position after the end of the war, he
predicted would require all the skill
and ability which the governments
could exercise. He added that he
would like to have raised a larger
proportion ot the war expenditures
BY revenues, but he pointed out tho
dangers of excessive taxation.
The government at present is
financing the war, aside from aid
received from the United States, by
use of short term exchequer bonds
and treasury bills. The latter are
mounting rapidly and about G710,-
900, 900 sterling of them are out
standing.

To Can Sweet Corn.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 16.-Gan
as soon after the corn is gathered as
possible. Remove husks and silk.
Blanch by placing in boiling water
for five minutes. Remove and dip
quickly into and out of cold water.
Cut the corn from the cob and pack
directly into hot jars or cans to with
in Ia inch of the top. Pour in en-
ough boiling water to fill the con-
tainer. Add one level teaspoon of
salt to each quart. Put rubber rings
and caps of jars into position but
do not tighten the wire clamps. Seal
tin cans completely.
Place containers on a false bottom
of wooden Stats or wire mesh in a
vessel of water deep enough to
completely cover the containers.
Keep the water boiling for three
hours.
Remove the jars: tighten covers;
invert jars to test SEAL and cool (not
in draft, as jars might crack.
Tin cans may be placed in cold
water for rapid cooling.
After the containers are cool store
in dark. cool place.
Rapid preparation for canning is
especially desirable for corn If a
good quality of product is to be OBJ
tained. The best results can be
secured when one person cuts the
corn from the cob and another fills
the containers. IL ii is necessary
for one person to work alone she
should cut off sufficient corn to fill
one jar, pour on boiling water, add
salt, place the rubbers and caps in
position and put the jar or container
into hot water at once. The extra
cooking which will be given to the
cans first filled will not be injurious
and better product will be secured
than If the cut corn were allowed to
ptand until all jars were filed.
