| MONTANA PILOT
WORKS ON MISSISSIPPI

Captain Hiram Beedle has gone
back plotting boats on the Mississippi
river, because Uncle Sam has pointed
out that by so doing he could do his
part in preparing the nation for it's
part in the great war.
ely" Beedle is resident of Mon
tana. Billings has been claimed as
his home for many years, but he does
not spend much time there. He just
got spot in Montana to call Home
Sweet Home" because he believes it
the best place on earth.
AS boy he went boating on the
Mississippi and Missouri and became
a famous picket. But as the iron
horse gradually put the old boats
out of commission, ely" struck for
the north and became a pilot in
Alaska on the Yukon.
In winter he comes to Montana,
but with the first faint blush of
spring he starts north again. He's
back now, but instead of staying
here, he has shaken hands with few
of his old friends around the Yellow
stone country and struck out for the
Mississippi to pilot some freight
boats for the government.

VESSEL NAMED IN HONOR
OF MONTANA REPORTER

In the naming of one of the boats
being built to help beat the German
submarine policy of warfare, honor
has been paid to former Montana
newspaper man, John M. Connolly,
who was reporter in Helena and
Butte prior to 1908, and who died
in Denver, Oct. 81, 1916. A 1000
tanker, just launched by the Penn
sylvania Shipbuilding corporation at
Glouster, N. j., has been christened
with his name.
The memorial to him is fitting
one as Connolly was born at sea,
while his parents were en- route from
ireland to England in 1874. In the
early part of this century he worked
on the Butte Inter Mountain, from
where he went to the Helena Daily
Record in 1902. In Helena he cover
ed the state house run.
The Record staff at that time was
an all-start one employing Albert
Hawkins, now editorial writer for the
Portland Oregonian; Frank b.
Farrar, now managing editor of the
Denver News; Fred Beckdoldt, we'll
known author and magazine writer,
and John C. Dierks, sporting editor OF
the Salt Lake Tribune. At that time
Harry Yeager, now vice-president OF
a Great Falls bank, was business
manager of the paper.
Leaving oMntana he went to Colo
RADIO and lived for many years In
Denver, working for time on Den
yer papers and then rising to posi-
ton of prominence in the business
world. At the time of his death he
was advertising manager of the Den
YER Gas and Electric company. The
daughter of the president of that
company christened the vessel.

No Pro-German Ideas in Him.

Klaas Andriesen, farmer on the
Billings bench near Shepherd, was
born in Germany, but he hasn't any
sympathy for the Teutonic allies in
the great war. When the liberty loan
campaign was on he was too hard up
to buy any bonds, but recently he
sold his crop, and the first thing he
did was to go to a newspaper office
in Billings and make big subscrip-
tons to the Red Cross, the army Y.
M. C. A. and the camp recreation
funds, and announced that he was
ready to take big bunch of bonds OF
the next loan.

That was the introduction to Mon

Yegen, capitalists of Billings, sole

banking, livestock and land holdings
throughout the state.
Pete got job cooking at a hotel,
and after hours he baked bread, pies,
doughnuts and other pastry, which
Chris sold from house to house and
to passengers on the trains that went
through Billings. One success fol-
lowed another until now they have

this Is small since ten pounds OF

Weigh out the amount OF fat re-

prepare this fat by melting it and
letting it cook slowly with water
or raw potato until it ceases crackl-

than luke-warm. In the meantime
place lye in an earthen dish, pre-

easy to pour lye solution from this,
add the amount of water specified
in directions and stir the mixture
until all the lye is dissolved. Let
this lye solution stand for few
minutes until just warm, then pour
it slowly into the grease. stirring
mixture meanwhile with an agate
spoon or stick. Continue the stir
ring until the mass is of the con-
sistency of honey, then mold at

pensiye Than Canning

The very general demand for
ready-to-serve foods in large meas
ure responsible for replacing the
dried foods with the canned pro-
duct. That dried foods are unavoid-
ably darkened, and so slightly less
attractive has been given undue
weight. This season it is highly de-
sirable that housewives resort to
this less expensive method of pre-
serving fruits and vegetables.
The essentials in home drying
are cleanliness in handling the
food and protecting 1t from un-
necessary contamination, permit
ting free circulation of air, and util-
izing heat to the best advantage
avoiding over-heating, yet securing
the rapid drying that will lessen
the opportunity for fermentation.

quently.
Home methods by which drying
OF fruits and vegetables is well ac-
complished are these:
/. Lrger fruits and vegetables may
be cut into sections, strung and
then suspended in the sun or above
the stove to dry.
2 Food products prepared for
drying may be spread in q thin
layer on white cloth and exposed
to the direct rays Of the sun. Obvi.
ously, food SO exposed must be pro-
tected from flies by q mosquito net
ting, or a very coarse cheese cloth
serves as better protection against
smaller insects and dust.
8. If one is so fortunate as to have
an enclosure of glass where one may
secure the greater heat from this
concentration OF the SUMS rays,
then the problem is greatly simpli-
fed.
4. Food may be dried in q slow
oven with frequent stirring.
5. The process is much shortened
by evaporators, the product Is less
darkened, and there is less oppQr-
tunity for the accumulation OF dust.
The homemade evaporatOr may be
constructed at a very slight ex-

Foods that are excellently pre-
served by drying are corn, string
beans, green peas and apples.
Corn should be steamed from ten
to fifteen minutes, long enough to
set the milk-then cut from the
cob, and spread thinly for drying
by either of the methods just
named. Unless corn Is steamed at
once when 1t Is gathered, 1t will
lose much of it's natural sweetness,
and this cannot be replaced by the
addition of sugar.
String beans may be or may not
be scalded before drying.
Peas should be scalded immed-
lately when they have been picked
and shelled, so that they will re-
tain their sweetness. The precau-
tion will apply to corn and peas,
