the Stite-Elk City water grade route
along the south fork of the Clearwater
river. Congressman French was very
enthusiastic and eager to learn the
facts in regard to the true merits of
this route. He was much surprised
that in four months there was $685.

OF the parcel post in this territory
during the four months $11, 263.S4. The

Besides the tonages handled by the

very interesting and instructive. There
was a pleasant atmospheric and social

Prof. A. P. R. Drucker, who had
charge of the meeting understood the

good luck of meeting Pitman Atwood

We were very much surprised to find
f. E. Leeper also a passenger headed

Of course you've heard that old
story about advertising paying.
Here's a new one-but different.
The fellows who once preached this
it-pays-to-advertise proposition would
probably be startled themselves at the
quick results obtained from a very
little, economical want ad in aAecent
issue of The Daily Commonwealth.
This is the way it happened:
After much deliberation and a little
action, a certain lady of Greenwood
placed an ad in the want column of
The Daily Commonwealth, advertising
her Jersey COW for sale.
Now her n%eighbors knew that she
had this cow for sale.
But what about the other residents
of the city?
Feeling a bit conservative about the
matter, the lady placed an order for
the ad to run six consecutive times.
"Probably I'll get some RETURNS"
was her thought.
But 10 and behold, upon the first is
sue of the paper replies began coming
in and the COW was sold.
Just as easy as telling it.

SAN SALVADOR
STILL VIOLENT
Volcano, Which Burst Forth on June
7. Still Viclent-Attraction for
Large Number Visitors.
Associated Press)

-
SAN SALVADOR, REPUBLIC OF
SAN SALVADOR, August 29-The
San Salvador volcano which burst into
violent eruption on the night of June
7 last, still continues to hurl into the
air at intervals of from half a minute
to a mirute, quantities of red-hot
stones. These emissions are accom-
panied by tremendous explosions, like
the firing together of a hundred pieces
of heavy artillery . Smaller stones
glowing with heat are thrown 5000
feet in the air and larger ones 1900
to 1900 feet. .
In the great eruption Of June 2,
when scores of people were killed or
injured vast quantities of burning lava
poured from vents in the sides Of the
ancient volcano, spreading over the
valleys of Ell Pinar and Las Chintos.
These fields of fire now mostly have
cooled.
A lake which occupied the old crater
was undisturbed by the first eruption
but, "a few days later. it began to
throw off steam. For twenty-five
days it continued to boil from subter-
ranean heat and when, at the end of
that period the water of the lake had
evaporated it was possible to observe
that a new crater had been formed
within the mouth of the old one.
1t is from this new crater that erup-
tons now take place at regular inter-
walls. The spectacle is awe-inspiring,
Millions of tons of burning stones have
been thrown out on the dry-rock where
they continue to glow. Nevertheless
it is possible to go within a few hun
bred yards Of the old crater without
danger and some men even have low
cred themselves into the crater with
ropes. :,
Excursions to the volcano from all
parts of the country are popular as
q railroad u n from San Salvador to
Santa Tecla, eight miles from the vol
cano. The remainder of the journey
is made on horseback.

WASHBURN TO BE AVIATOR.
Star in Essanay Feature, "Man Who
Was Afraid" Trains In Hydro
plane For Uncle Sans
Fi0ht;nr Eorca

1ASitAao
Bryant Washburn's real life and his
reel lie presented strangely contrast
ing aspects during the filming Of his
current Essanay feature, "The Man
Who Was Afraid"
In this production Mr.. Washburn
appears as a national guardsman who
is afraid to answer the Presidents
call to arms. He resigns when his
regiment leaves for the front, and is
spurned by. his friends and called a
Stacker by the girl he loves.
Oddly enough this picture was be-
ing produced at the time Of the reg
i5tration for the selective draft, and
Mr.. Washburn, the Stacker" of the
film, was the first in his district to
register and offer himself to his coun-
try. He is married, however, and a
father, and so was rendered ineligible
for the initial draft.
Mr.. Waskburn will be prepared,
though, when the time comes for men
Of his class to "do their bit" His am
b;tion is to become an aviator, and he
has already undergone a private ply
steal examination which proved that
he was admirably fitted for aerial
fighting. He has assembled to high al
titudes in a friends %hydroplane on
numerous occasions, and is now study
ing the mechanism of the machine ard
mastering flying technique. He hopes,
by this practice, to obtain a regulation
pilots license before his call comes.
Then he will be enabled to go to the
front without the long delay necessi-
tated by training. =
"The Man Who Vas Afraid pre-
sents the ease of the Stacker" in a
new light. 1t does not show him alto
gether as a coward, but as a man who
is dominated by his mothers terror
at the thought of her son going to
war. There is reason, somewhat, for
any man pausing at his mothers tears
and frantic pleas hat he DO not leave
her. That his friends and the girl
he loves m%isconstrue this hesitancy is
an unfortunate circumstance which
prevails everywhere.
But neither the mother nor her son
prove towards in the end. She event.
ually sees her duty to her country and
commits her noble sacrifice, and the
son, fastening to the front, performs
an heroic feat which even those who
had dubbed him Stacker held back
from. Thus he redeems himself and
his mother and-wins the girl he loves.
The picture has been admirably
staged by Director Fred E. Wright,
and is replete with thrills and patriot
ic fervor. Ernest Maupain, frankie
Raymond, Margaret Watts and Mark
Ellison are the principals in Mr..
Washburn's supporting company.
"The Man Who Was Afraid" has a
screen time, approximately, Of sixty
five minutes.

"PlE DAY" EVERY TUESDAY,.

According to one of the ladies on
the committee, an idea seems to pre-
vail that "Pie Day" for the soldiers
eacamped here was to be held only
on one Tuesday.
"Fie Day" is supposed to be every
Tuesday in the week just as long as
the Battery remains in Greenwood.
Those interested in the members of
the Battery should remember that
"P;e Day" is always looked forward
to by the boys and that they arpre-
ciate the efforts of the ladies Of the

HOME DRYING OF VEGETABLES

A~shortage of containers on the mar
ket, and the. necessity of saving all
surplus food stuff has led to inquiries
into methods of e~vaIorating or dry
ing vegetables. Satisfactory results
will be obtained by following these
directions which are given to US by
Mr.. Frants P. Lund, Of the Agricul-
tural College of Texas.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Equipment-Vegetables may be
dried in an culinary oven, in trays,
racks, over t,,c kitchen stove, in the
sunshine in dr. l3iins or by an electric
fan. Dzying the sunshine is a
slower process and the product is not
quite so good in color or 1aver.
Drying Rcck5--Orying traps may
be bought @" made at home. These
made at hG4rN are Of wire netting.
Such as is u:cJ r screening purposes.
The traps e.. hanged above an
other with , -:.ls,l space between
with a frame O. wood or metal. The
heated air Tas~es through the per-
forated trays and evaporate the mois-
ture. If an ordinary oven is used, the
door should be left slightly opened to
permit the evaporation of the mois-
ture from the vegetables.
SELECTION AND PREPARATION.
For best results the vegetables
should be sound, not over ripe and
freshly gathered.
The vegetables should be cleansed by
washing. Cut into suitable lengths,
plunged into boiling water, allowed to
come to a boil, and allowed to boil
from 3 to 6 min. This boiling so acts
upon certain properties of vegetables
as to cause them to retain the flavor
in the fresh state. After boiling,
drain by spreading cloth before putt
ing into dryer. When thoroughly drain
ed spread in thin layers in drying
tray. Put into oven or hang over
stove. The finishing point is deter
mined by the condition of the vege-
table. All of it's moisture should be
evaporated. The drying requires from
! 10 to 3 hours.
Packing.-These ev%aporated vege-
tables should be packed, while hot in
