HOW TO CAN BEANS,

The June Farm and Fireside says:
'Many of our readers are asking us how
to can particular vegetables, such as
beans, peas, or corn. Here is the process
for beans in detail: Select beans of the
same age and color, and plan to can i'm
mediately after picking. String and
wash well, and if you do not wish to can
them whole cut them into uniform pieces.
l like them canned whole Blanch by
placing in boiling water from five to ten
minutes, depending on the age of the
beans, and then plunge them quickly into
cold water, Fill the jars, packing closely.
Add one teaspoonful of salt to each quart
of beans, fill the jars with boiling water,
and put on the tops loosely. Put the jars
in the Gamer. This may be simply a
lard pail or wash boiler with false bot
tom of wooden Stats or, better, wire
rack, and the water in it should cover the
cans about one inch. Have the water hot
when the jars are set in and bring to a
boil quickly. Count the time from the
moment it starts boiling, and sterilize the
beans two hours. Then remove jars and
tighten covers. Use the same method
for peas"

Huge Wheat Crop In Oklahoma.

tSince l left home, two or three days
ago." said E. X. Gaylord, of Oklahoma
City, at the Willard, Zine rains have fall
len all over the State, thus assuring us a
crop of wheat that will equal if not ex-
coed last years yield of almost 80, 1000,
900 bushels Our country is in fine con-
dition and prosperity is general. There
is, however, the same complaint with us
that l find prevalent in the East-a gen.
eral murmur against the high cost of
living There is no dearth of food sup
plies, but almost all items that 60 on the
table are about as dear in Oklahoma as
they are in Washington. Money is so
abundant, however, that people do not
worry very greatly over prices, especially
since our farmers, cattlemen and owners
of oil wells are the recipients of big
money for all they produce. In Tulsa
recently, 81 head of high-grade cattle
were sold at an average of more than
$500 head, one particularly fine bull
bringing $4,000"

REPAIRS ON INTERNED SHIPS.

Chairman William Denman of the Shin
ping Board recently announced that de-
tailed survey of each of the seventy-one
German and Austrian ships interned in
the United States has been made disclos-
ing the damage done each; that drafts
men have prepared drawings from which
the impaired or destroyed parts of the
machinery can be fashion ed and that the
necessary repair work is being rushed I'M
der the supervision of corps of marine
architects in private shipping yards Said
Mr.. Denman: 'Immediately after the
removal of the crews from the interned
vessels the Shipping Board undertook to
repair them. 1t organized a committee
OF experts including Frank S. Martin, of
New York, and Stephenson Taylor, chair
man OF the American Bureau of Shipping.
The committee directed survey of each
ship. 1t was found that many important
parts OF the machinery had been DESTROY
ed or thrown overboard-parts that con-
nected the power with the propelIing
mechanism.
craftsmen were engaged to draw de-
signs for the missing machinery, and re-
pairs are being made in American fac
tories. Many of the interned ships were
constructed in British yards. The British
authorities are furnishing us with the
original plans. Within five months the
most seriously damaged of the ships will
be ready to put to sea. The smaller ships
Will be prepared for commission in a
much shorter time"
The Shipping Boards survey of ships
lnterned in the ports of the United States
has disclosed that the three great steam
ships of the Hamburg-American line
the president Lincoln" the president
Grant, and the PENNSYLVANIA are the
most extensively damaged of the German
vessels The repairs on each of these
ships will approximate S25O,OOO This
estimate was made by John A. Donald, a
member of the board Marine Journal

German Army Rations.

(From Staff Correspondent of The AS
ISOLATED Press)
With the British Armies in France, via
London, June 1. The conditions as to food
supplies in Germany may be coniectured
from the fact that it is now definitely
settled that the best fed of the German
fighting units subsist on a ration which
equals only three-ffths in weight and
value that issued to the British troops
The best nourished German troops are
those in reserve Just back of the fighting
lines. They receive the maximum ration.
Since the spring of 1916, however, their
bread allowance has been cut down one
third. The greater part of this reduction
has occurred during the last eight months
There are now two meatless days week
in the German trenches. Even the in
dispensable sausage allowance has been
cut down to two and three-quarter ounces
daily. Rice has been eliminated entirely,
being replaced by dry turnips.

figure that 713 airplanes were shot down
on the west front in May, of which 442
were German and 271 British and French
British headquarters admitted the loss of

announce any war losses it is impossible
to verify the inference that they lost 1876.
1t is worthy of note that the estimate of
271 is compiled from German official re-

Clocks Will Keep Tabs on State Officers.


AUGUSTA, Me, June 2. Time clocks
are to be installed at the State House and
every one of the 225 employees, from the
men who scrub the floors to the higher
officials, will have to register every time
they enter and leave the building Every
person will be numbered. There are 118
girls employed in the State House, and it
is said their arrivals and departures have
varied considerably, These time clocks
will check up all such variations. Maine
is the first State in the Union to adopt
this system at its Capitol.
We have been in the State House for
about fourteen years and we know that
the girls there have not been slackers
They have often worked overtime and
very rarely have failed to do a full days
work. We know of few ''higher Of
ticialS" who ought to be put on record
All the Sinking should not be attributed
to the girls
