AS rule two meetings are held each month
The work of the canning season is organized
with a view to having cooperative canning
parties, allowing convenient number of
mothers and daughters" to meet at some
members home to conduct their home canning
work in well-organized cooperative groups.
If the club is too large to do all its work at
one place, with a single canning outfit, 1t is
organized into smaller canning groups, each
group owning its canning equipment on CO.
operative basis. This results in much greater
economy and efficiency.

Test AA Caps and Rubbers

A NY woman who furnishes a can Of food
~ that is spoiled will rank with the
L "A maker of bombs that won't explode.
Thorough sterilization and perfect sealing are
the fundamentals of canning These instruc-
lions for testing jars are worth knowing by
way of prevention, and are suggested by the
IT, S. Dept of Agriculture Office of Extension
Work:
Screw-top jars-W Place top on jar with
out the rubber. Turn down tight. II tie
thumb nail can be inserted between top and
glass the top is usually defective. t2) Place
rubber and cap in position and screw down
lightly. Pull rubber from position; release.
If the rubber returns to position between top
and jar the top is defective
Glass-top jars.-W Place glass top on jar
without rubber. Tap with finger around the
outer edge of the top. If the top rocks it is
defective. CD Wire bail placed over the top
of cover should go in with snap. even when
tightening lever or clamp spring is up. If 1t
does not remove bail from tightening lever and
bend to make tight. This tightening of bail
should be done every year.
To guard against mould, three simple pre-
cautions are offered by the Government
experts:
Mould may develop on canned goods:
/. If the seal is defective.
2. If, after sterilizing, tops are removed
from jars to replace rubber ring Jars should
be returned to the Gamer for at least five min
utes when this is done.
3. If jars are kept in a damp place where
the rubbers may decompose, mould may enter
through these decomposed rubbers.

grim necessity back of them. Canning
and preserving choice and fancy fruits
and vegetables for Sunday night supper and
the company coming to luncheon, is not the idea.
Canning is part of preparedness-to be en-
tered into in systematic manner with the de-
termination to save every bit of fruit and vege-
tables and greens against the coming winter,
and the possible necessity for transporting
food long distances-to our allies, perhaps, in
the trenches or TO feed the home folks in place
of foods that must be sent across the seas.
There are many stories of the fruits and
vegetables that rot on the ground for want of
a market. Happenings of that sort this sum-
mer will be nothing short Of treachery-a clear
case of giving comfort and aid to the enemy
for food is one Of the most important NUM-
tons of war.
Every woman who stacks up cans and
glasses full of food is doing just as good war
work as the girls in the munition factories, and
she is working on the constructive side-the
side that helps to preserve life-not destroy
it. Here is work for the pacfst! Canning is
patriotic duty this spring-not a domestic
expedient.

Washington, June 14.--Four sites TO,
war army divisional environments were
approved today, completing the list OF
16 points at which military towns are
TO be built by September /, when the
first draft troops will be called to the
colors. At each cantonment a fun di-

for final instruction. They will be To-

In addition to these the following
six of the Is camp sites for divisional
training of the national guard have
been formally announced: Fort Worth,

Locations Of the remaining national
guard camps probably will be in the
southeastern or southern departments,
as they will be canvas camps, unsuitcd
to severe climates.

have been assigned for all the canton

Lincoln, Ncb., June 1i.-With all the
Nigor at his command, Colonel Thco-
dore Roosevelt addressing several
thousand persons on the capitol
grounds here this afternoon. the last
day of the semi centennial of Ncbras-
ka, drove home the fundamental truths
of the doctrine of Americanism. He
was emphatic In pointing out the duty
of every American at the present time
One of Mr.. Roosevelt's digressions
from his written address was to flay
the German language newspapers OF
the country. These newspa pers print
ed in German are a fit subject for the
attention of the censor he said.
II might have been sheriff of my
county," Mr.. Roosevelt continued, "hut
l never would have been president if
] had learned and only spoken Dutch
the language of my ancestors"
In the course of his address, Colonel
Roosevelt asserted that the clergy
man who does not put the flag above
the church had better stop his church
and keep closed"
Mr. Roosevelt urged farmers to buy
Liberty loan bonds and said:
''If you don't invest in the Liberty
loan, don't jump on wall street when
Wall street does
