CANNING
PRECAUTIONS

Cleanliness is one of the important
secrets to success in canning. BE alb
solutely clean in every operation and
keep all the surroundings the same.
Carefully sterilize with boiling water
every utensil before it Is used. Also
the jars, rubbers, and cans.
In buying glass jars, secure the best.
One Of the most satisfactory types of
jars is the "Lightning Patent with a
glass top held in place by a simple
wire spring.
Use the best grade Of tin cans even
though they cost q little more than
the cheaper grades.
With glass Jars always use new rub
bers.

HOME CANNING

Every farmer should have
q small canning outfit for
use in preserving fruit and
vegetables for winter. An
abundance Of canned pro-
ducts Of this sort adds COM
fort and health to tho family,
and often there is enough
surplus to give n nice little
income. It is seldom that
canned fruits and vegetables
Of fine quality fail to COM
mand a good price. With q
good fall garden one does not
so much feel the need of
canned vegeta blcs, but there
are n great many Of tho ten
der sorts that will not grow
at this season and must be
preserved in cans. Think also
Of the number Of fruits that
may be canned. Even where
one has neglected to have q
good orchard there are in
most localities an abundance
Of blackbcrries, blue berries,
hucklcberries. grapes and
cherries growing wild. In
case enough vegetables have
not yet been planted to fur
nish a surplus to can, it is a
good time now to make up
the deficiency. Tomatoes,
map beans, lima beans,
sweet potatoes, and other
vegetables may yet be plant
ed for canning during the
late summer. Any ono In
terested in canning should
write tho Horticultural d.

ming of Fruits and Vegeta-

JIM C0FFEY IS
 VICTOR IN BOUT
 WITH JOE cox
Popular Irish Idol Has Good Start in Come
 back Campaign.

Jim Coffey, the Irish idol, made 1 the hearts of his countrymen glad by showing something of his old time form when he fattened Joe Cox in the third round after a
 hard battle last week in New York.
 While Cox has done nothing very startling since he made Jess Will
 lard quit some years ago, he was
 not a start-up by any means. The man from Missouri evident
 ly had trained hard in the hope of landing swing on the popular
 Coffey's tender chin. He was full of confidence and sailed right in
 to Big Jim as though sure of the
 result. Coffey met him with sev-
 eral solid rights, which Cox re-
 turned with great vigor Evident
 ly the tall lrishman has grown
 tougher than of yore, for none of
 the blows seemed to bother him in
 the least.
 In the second round Coffey wise | ly brought his long, straight left into action instead of trading rights. Cox has dangerous right, i, but his left is of little account and
 he began to fare badly. Coffey
 jabbed him dizzy and then crossed | his right a few times and Cox
 began to lose form rapidly, although
 he still swung desperately. Toward | the end of the bout Cox was in ! bad shape and the bell saved him l just in time.
 Knowing that he could not go much further unless he landed a lucky shot, Cox expended his re- maining strength in series of rights that carried plenty of power behind them. He landed solidly On
 the body and Coffey winced. Cox tried to repeat, but thoughtlessly
 left his chin exposed too long, and Coffey hit the mark with all his strength. Cox sank down and oiled over on his back. At the count of seven he turned over and began the long climb to his feet, I but he failed to make it before the
 referee had counted the necessary 10 seconds.
 Coffey showed more speed and his hitting power has improved since he met Bob Devere at the Clermont S. c. some weeks ago. If he is able to regain the confidence in himself that he lost when Frank
 Moran ended his winning streak the popular Irishman will soon be
 as good as ever

MRS. HATCHER GIVES AN INTERESTING TALK
 TO HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS

Mrs. Cornelia Hatcher, Territorial President of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, delivered a very interesting and instructive address before the high school assembly this morning. Mrs. Hatcher chose as her subject the reply of a young man in charge of a wireless plant on one of the vessels plying between Alaska and Seattle questioned as to the workings of the apparatus: You've got to keep your instrument in tune If you ain't in tune you can't stay on the job" The lessons drawn from this expression were clearly and forcibly presented. Mrs. Hatch CT also gave a description of the method which must be adopted in order to get an important bill through Congress and illustrated the same by recounting the experiences of those who were instrumental in securing the passage of the bone dry" pro hibition bill for Alaska.

MOVIE THEATRE ATTRACTIONS
 GENERAL FLMpoM NEWS

Initial steps have been taken by the government authorities to ap- ply a strict censorship in the event of War.
 Last week all motion picture manufacturing and exhibiting companies in the United States re- ceived a communication from the Navy Department warning them against showing in public any mo- tion pictures of American naval or merchant vessels, without first sub mitting the pictures to the depart ment for final censoring.
 The warning as applied to naval vessels came as surprise, but the fact that merchant vessels were in cluded in the edict was unlocked for and is taken as an indication that much uneasiness exists in off cial circles in the national capital.
 The Universal Film Company's s Animated Weekly department, which produces a news film each week, received the following com
 Navy Department.
 Ut is requested that your com pany show no pictures in motion picture weeklies of American naval vessels, preparedness and naval ac- tivities, and picture of American merchant ships. unless the same have been properly passed upon by the authorities at the Navy De- partment.
 ''1t is only by the cooperation of all hands that information can be prevented from reaching possible enemies of the United States or their agents in this country.
 Similar letters have been writ ten to other motion picture com panies,
