prosecution of each offense, whatever
it's nature, will have a general effect
in establishing the feeling that state
laws mean something. The silent
working force that strikes when least
expected is the terror Of lawbreakers
who often have the faculty Of making
terms with local officers, or manage to
Judge their moods closely enough to
dodge when danger threatens.
Halt a dozen competent state Of
ficers working constantly in South Da-
kota would, within few years. remove
the necessity for maintaining pure food
officers hotel inspectors. oil inspectors,
game wardens and other law enforce
laent field men. When a special officer
is travelling around over the state it
is practically as easy for him to main
tain an interest in all state laws as TO
devote his attention just to one law.
Any man of average intelligence can
imbibe the essential features of the
state criminal code in two weeks study
If any state ever undertakes intelli-
gent effort to have it's laws respected
it must go somewhat beyond the des-
ignation of general state investigators.

THE GOOD ROADS COMMISSIONS REPORT

The DeS Moincs Register ~ inclined
Road commission because 1t points out
that Iowa has an abundance Of sur
facing material instead Of placing par
ticular stress upon the need OF better
roads. The Register explains that IL
we had no surfacing ma terial in the
state the need for good roads would
be as great. 1t goes on to say in part:
This notion that gravel solves the
whole road problem is not worth CO.
ing further with. for gravel is only
4 substitute road material at best.
while at poorest it is hardly better than
dirt In a wet time any sort of gravel
road is acceptable. But In a dry time
no road Will tax the patience Of the
traveller quite so severely as a humpy
gravel road. Nor is It worth while 70
go further with the notion that a
dragged dirt road is the best Iowa can
consider A dragged dirt road is much
better than an undragged dirt road.
but when that Is said everything has
been said for the dirt road.
The good roads commission appointed
by the governor was plain recogni-
ton OF the need Of better roads in
Iowa It's office was not to argue the
need but to cast about for the means
and the manner in which Iowa roads
might he improved and its main routes

TTpledo 6.hronicle,

Many Iowa towns are being con.
fronted with the problem of boarding
and sleeping tramps during the winter.
It costs money to do 50, and oftentimes
the same tramp is housed and fed a
number Of times during the winter in
the same town. 1t has happened right
here in this town. There is only one
solution and that is do not feed them
or sleep them at all. II they are not
cared for, they will not come back.
Some persons will claim the sympa-
thetic excuse as the reason why town
should take care of these wanderers.

In America our people nave toler-
ated the tramp long enough. The time
was when there was an excuse Tor the
presence OF unemployed in large nufn
bers, but such an excuse no longer ex-
lists and there has crept into the place
of the inoffensive occasional tramp a
breed of vicious vagabonds who never
work and whose only means OF support
Is a nimble wit and willingness to
sacrifice life if necessary to secure the
wherewithal to keep their miserable

HOW TO CAN GREEN PEAS AND
SNAP BEANS.

WASHINGTON. July l1.-House-
Keepers can easily can surplus green
peas n snap beans, which are be-
ginning to appear in home gardens in
many sections. The season has been
unusually good for peas. and home
gardeners in many localities are re-
porting unexpectedly heavy Yields
Either of these products readily can
he canned with no other home equip
ment than jars or cans and a wash
boiler fitted with a false bottom of
stats to keep the Jars from resting on
the bottom.
= Here are directions given by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to the members of girls can
ming clubs in the Northern and West
ern states.
Do not try to can peas or beans that
have been long off the vines-the
fresher the vegetables the better the
product.
Shell peas. In case Of beans strin-
and cut them as if for cooking.
Put the prepared vegetables in a
cheesecloth bag or colander and
blanch in live steam from boiling wa
ter for 5 to 10 minutes
Next dip the blanched product
quickly in old water and remove it
almost Immediately.
Pack the product Immediately into
hot scalded glass jars or tin cans.
Fill the containers completely With
obiling hot water TO which has been
added one level teaspoonful Of salt
per quart. Place rubber ring on jars
and screw tops almost, but not com
pletely, tight. The water in the boil
ed will not enter these partially
closed Jars. Seal tin cans completely.
Put the Jars or cans in boiling wa
ter i'm the wash boiler SO that h tops
are partly or wholly covered. Sterl-
lie for $50 minutes in the boiling
water counting from the time the wa
ter begins to boil again. If other
canning outfits are used, sterili2e as
follows:
Water seal, PA degrees $50 min.
S lbs. steam pressure 60 min.
10 to Is lbs. steam pressure 40 min.
Wax and string beans as well as
young lender peas may he sterilized
in 100 minutes.
Remove jars from boiler or steri-
lizer. tighten covers, invert to cool
and test the joints for leakage. Ex-
anime cans for leaks. Even the
slightest leak if not closed completely
at once. means that the roduc IN
all probability will not keep.
DO not place glass jars To cool III
a draft which is liable tn cause them
to crack. Wrap Jars in paper to pre-
vent blanching. and store in a cool
place.
II peas are roughly handled in
~blanching or sold dipping, or split OF
broken peas are not removed before
packing, the liquid in the iars ma
