a few seconds in front Of his brother
CASTOR Chevrolet Ira Vail was less
than a sixteenth of mile behind the

field was we'll strung out.
For just a moment while the racers
were on their 236th mile, 1t appeared
as though CASTOR Chevrolet would car

the last moment forced him into the
pit and he had to capitulate to his
brother who had the distinction OF
going through the entire race without
a single stop at the pits.
De Palma Forced Out
Ralph De Palma looked like a strong
contender for more than half the jour

of it after $50 miles.
Earl Cooper likewise ran into hard
luck with tire trouble. but managed to
continue and finished seventh. Tom
Milton, who had been hanging within
a mile or two Of the leaders during
the entire race, came strong toward
the end and captured fourth position.
Otto Penning was fifth and Eddie

In addition 10 being a tan, he is also
a student Of the grand old game, and
has built up a strong team, which at
the present time is up with the lead
ers in the Commercial League.
When the Commercial League was
formed the proprietor Of the Frank
Coombs Company. located on Bishop
street, decided to make application
for entrance into the league. The
team was admitted, and then CoOmbs
made a tour OF his establishment.
Luck Ye7, who has been the main
stay in the pitching department, was
the ink juggler for the company, and
Coombs being a fan knew that LUCK
could do some excellent work on the
mound. That was a start Then he
asked each and every one OF his EN-
ployes If they knew anything about
the national game, and found that
some did and some didn't. Those wh)
couldn't play were asked to get out
and practise af:e~ work, and as a re-
suit Coombs has developed two or
three good players who were real raw
recruits at the beginning OF the sea
son.
Fast Infield
Luckily for Ccombs he had some
valuable material, and boasts two real
stars in the infield in King Tan and
Mara. Kai Luke is also playing good
ball for the team. while Akana has
been developed into a valuable man

IAN be made as follows: Walls Of
brick, stone, or cement are built vi
a foot or two above the ground with
the front and left open for a fire
door. The size of this kiln depends
upon the amount of material to be
dried. Many farm kilns are 4 feet
wide and 8 to 10 feet long. At the
back end a flue is built and this
should extend A to 5 feet above the
top Of the kiln. Iron bars r placed
over these and covered with mortar
about two inches deep. After apply
ing the mortar a fire should be start
ed in the furnace to bake the clay.
The firing should be done with a slow
fire, and any cracks formed during
the baking should be closed up with
thin mortar. The material to be
dried on this type of a kiln is placed
on large metal trays to the depth of
2 or 3 inches. Only a few hours are
required for the drying process.
Most any fruit or vegetable can be
dried on this type of dryer, but those
most commonly dried are apples,
peaches, cherries, and sweet corn.
The material to be dried is washed
and sliced or shredded before being
placed on the racks. Most vegetables
are dried without cooking, but sweet
corn is usually steamed or boiled long
enough to set the milk. After the
steaming or boiling the corn is cut
from the cob and placed on the trays
or racks for drying. Root crops
such as carrots, parsnips, onions etc,
are peeled and sliced in preparation
for drying. Cabbage and celery are
shredded. After slicing or shredding
the material is placed on the racks to
the depth of one to two inches, de-
pending upon the character of the
material, and the heated air passes
through and over it. The tempera-
ture for drying should be rather low
to prevent ~scorching the product. A
temperature of about $50 degrees f..
is considered satisfactory. The ma
terial should be stirred or turned sew
ezal times during the drying process
IL order to secure a Uniform product.
Amy fruits and vegetables may
BE- cried in the sun. The materials
to be dried are prepared in the same
ma Ter as described for drying by
a-tiH cial means. Tbs material is
paced in a sunny location. The
trays should have wire or cheese
cloth bottoms. The products should
be protected from flies and other in
| sects and from rain or dew. The
material is usually brought indoors
at light and on damp, cloudy days.
This method of drying requires con
| siderable labor, and unless the wealth
err conditions are ideal the product is
liable to become discolored and mol
dy.
The dried material should be
stored in a dry place and protected
| from insects and dust.

HOME DRYING OF VEGETABLES

The States Relation Service, Wash
ington, D. c., sends out the follow
ing:
Owing to the shortage and the in
creased price of tin cans and glass
Jars, attention has been directed to
the drying of surplus vegetables and
fruits. If an ample supply of con-
tanners is available it is probably
= better to can surplus vegetables and
fruits rather than to dry them as the
drying requires nor time and labor.
However, if cans are not available
surplus vegetables should be saved
in some way. Such vegetables as can
be kept in a fresh condition by
storing should be saved in this man
ner, while those of a more perishable
nature should be dried. Root crops
such as potatoes, sweet potatoes,
beets, parsnips, carrots, onions, etc.,
should be stored rather than dried
if they mature at a time of the year
when they can be safely kept IN.
this way. The more p~erishable crops
such as sweet corn, string beans, and
early cabbage, might be dried. These
can be dried in an oven, in trays or
racks over tn ekitchen stove, or in
a specially constructed drier. There
are small driers on the market which
give satisfactory results. Some of
these are made for use on the cook
stove, while others have a metal base
furnace. In both of these types the
principles of drying are the same.
The evaporation part consists of a
frame work Of wood or galvanized
sheet iron with supports for the
trays. The trays or racks have wire
or perforated metal bottoms through
which the heated air passes. Home
made driers Of various kinds have
been used for drying fruits and vege-
tables.

JULY SUGGESTIONS FOR GIRLS
CANNING CLUB.

Do not get so busy filling your
cans this month that you forget to
spend a little time caring for the
garden which is producing the stuff
for filing the ans. Every girl sure
ly, is anxious to get just As much as
possible from the tenth acre in or
der to help solve the food shortage
and thereby do her part toward win
n!cg the "ar.
July is a month when frequent
cultivation is extremely important
Grass and weeds rob the garden
plants of much water and plant food.
Hard crusts and packed soil allow
the much needed moisture to evapo-
rate rapidly.
The tomato plants for the late crop
should be set during the early part of
the month, Have the soil in good
condition and worked down level.
Late eggplant and pepper plants may
also be set at this time.
Set all plants deep and firm the
soil we'll about the roots with the fin
gers. Leave a small depression or ba-
sin about the plant and pour in a
pint to a quart of water. After the
water has soaked away pull in dry
soil about the plant.
If there is any vacant space in the
garden plant some seeds. Pole, Lii
ma or butter beans will be good to
plant around the fence where they
can use it for a trellis. Okra, Gu
cumbers, S~quashes, Sweet Corn and
snap beans are all good crops to plant
in July. They like hot weather and
will stand a good deal of drought.
Plant all seeds deep and firm the
soil over them by stepping on the row
after the seeds have been covered.
Rake lightly over the row after step
ping it down.
Those who want to grow caboagc
and collards should plant the seeds
in a bed during the first of the month
or directly in the row in which they
are to grow during the latter part of
the month. Where the seeds are
planted in the bed the plants may be
transplanted to the row about the
first of August. Where the garden
is not busy it is probably best to plant
the seeds in the row where they are
to stay.
A little extra money may be made
by growing onion sets. Plant the
seeds thickly in the drill row and cul-
tivate as any other crop. White and
Red Bermuda are the best varieties.
The damage being done by the
worm bores into the tomato may be
greatly reduced by spraying the
plants with Arsenate of Lead, one
pound to 25 gallons of water.
The "Black-Rot" or "Blossom-end
Rot" of the tomato is not a disease.
1t is caused by dry weather. Spray
ing will not help it any. 1t can be
controlled by irrigation and the dam
age may be greatly reduced by good
cultivation and fertilizing with barn
ward manure Remember this for
next year.
Continue to pinch the suckers out
of the tomato plants and to tie the
branches to the stakes.

TupelO. Miss.


Tupelo, Miss.
My Dear Sir:
The call to the South for a Red
Cross War Fund has been generously
answered. Men and women of ev-
cry nationality and station in life
have alike contributed to make this
a success. The war Council cannot
directly express appreciation to ev-
cry person who has rendered service
in this great movement, but the sue
cess of the campaign would be incom-
plete were we to fail to convey per-
sonally our regard for the splendid
service rendered by the men and wo-
men of Tupelo.
The tangible results accruing from
this campaign, great as they are, will
be less than the intangible benefits,
just as the material gifts are small in
comparison with the giving of self.
1t is the scpirit Of an army that wins
battles and the spirit of our citizens
is what will determine our country's
future.
Aagain assuring you of our appre-
citation, | remain,
Very cordially yours,

FARMERS
The President OF the United States
Appeals to the Men, Women, and
Children on the Farms.
My Fellow Countrymen:

My Fellow Countrymen:
The entrance of our own beloved
country into the grim and terrible war
for democracy and human rights
which has shaken the world creates
so many problems of national life and
action which call for immediate con-
sideration and settlement that hope
you will permit me to address to you
a few words of earnest counsel and
appeal with regard to them.
We are rapidly putting our navy
upon an effective war footing and are
about to create and equip great
army, but these are the simplest parts
of the great task to which we have
addressed ourselves. There Is not a
single selfish element, so far as ] can
see, in the cause We are fighting for.
We are fighting for what we believe
and wish to be the rights OF mankind
and for the future peace and security
of the world. To d. this great thing
worthily and successfully we must de-
vote ourselves to the service without
regard to profit or material advantage
and with an energy and intelligence
that will rise to the level of the enter
prise itself. We must realize to the
full how great the task is and how
many things, how many kinds and
elements of capacity and service and
self-sacrifice, it involves.
These, then, are the things we must
do, and do we'll, besides fghting,-the
things without which We're fighting
would be fruitless:
Abundant Food Supply Essential
We must supply abundant food fol
ourselves and for our armies and ouI
seamen not only, but also for large
part of the nations with whom We
have now made common cause, In
whose support and by whose sides w
shall be fighting.

We must supply ships by the hun
dreds out Of our shipyards to carry
to the other side Of the sea, subma-
rines or no submarines, what will ev-
cry day be needed there, and album
dant materials out of our fields and
our mines and our factories with
which not only to clothe and equip
our own forces on land and sea but
also to clothe and support our people
for whom the gallant fellows under
arms ma no longer work, to help
clothe and equip the armies with
which we are cooperating in Europe,
and to keep the looms and manufac-
tories there in raw material; coal to
keep the fires going in ships at sea
in the furnaces of hundreds of fac
tories across the sea; steel out of
which to make arms and ammunition
both here and there; rails for worm
out railways back of the fighting
fronts; locomotives and rolling stock
to take the place Of those every day
going to pieces; mules, horses, cattle
for labor and for military service; ev-
erything with which the people OF
England and France and Italy and
Russia have usually supplied them
selves but can not now afford the
men, the materials, or the machinery
to make.
A Message to Farmers
take the liberty, therefore, Of ad-
dressing this word to the farmers Of
the country and to all who work on
the farms: The supreme need of oul
own nation and of the nations with
which we are cooperating is an abun.
dance of supplies, and especially Of
foodstuffs. The Importance of an ade
quate food supply, especially for thu
present year, is superlative. Without
abundant food, alike for the armie!
