New Mark Twain Tale.

This Mark Twain story might have
happened. 1t dates back to the Pc
riod when Mark was living in Hart
ford, in the next block from Harriet
Beecher Stowe and her husband, Pro-
fessor Stowe. One cold and blustery
winter morning, after an unusually
heavy snowstorm, a neighbor, meeting
Mark on the street slowly plowing his
way through the drifts with corncob
pipe in his mouth, and snow shovel
over his shoulder, asked him where
he was bound. "Oh, just around the
block-on an errand of mercy"
drawled Mark, removing the pipe from
between his teeth and pointing over
his shoulder with the stem of it. 'Mrs
Stowe has just telephoned me that Pro-
fessor Stowe is under the weather this
morning, and I'm on my way around
there to shovel him OUT

MAPLE GROVE HOME

Mrs. B. F. Aldrich of Chicago who
came last Saturday afternoon for a
short visit at the farm home returned
on Monday afternoon. Business
made it necessary for her to come and
the very feeble condition of her moth

nurse) made it seem an imperative
duty for her to return as soon as pos
sible. 1t would have been a great
pleasure to her to have met the dear
friends here who by their helpful kind
ness in her affliction, made lasting
memory, but under the circumstances
could only leave in words for them
her warmest regards.

SHOULD CHANGE PRESS BRIDLE.

The bureau of public information at Washington has been busy placing restrictions around the loyal American press. It has accused many newspa pers of breach of trust without proving the case The regulations laid down at Washington for papers to heed are not all necessary ones, some of them, such as withholding news already pub. lished abroad being foolish.
 Instead of hammering and nagging the loyal newspapers of the country, newspapers that have assisted the gov ernment in every way at considerable expense the administration should put a few obstacles in the way of the treacherous publications in the German language that are issued in this country without any efforts being made to curb them.
 Freedom of the press is necessary thing in democracy, but consistent disloyalty of the press is a serious thing that democracy should not per init. These pro-kaiser newspapers should be squelched and that speedily. This war against Germany and against all that the German government stands for has become personal war to all true Americans. These Ameri- cans demand undivided loyalty. There is not room enough in America for an unlicensed pro-German press. Ii some of the things that have been said by German language newspapers in the United States had been said about the Berlin government by Eng fish language newspapers in Germany, the one responsible for the statements would either be locked securely ln safe prison or laid away flor keeps at the hands of a firing squad. AS Colonel Roosevelt so aptly said: "The English language ought to be good enough for any real American to speak, read or write, just now. Doug las Dispatch.

GIRL SUICIDES; LEFT
 LETTERS; CAUSE MYSTERY

Because, it is said, her affection for a young official on the Mexican customs house in Mexicali was not returned, Ignacia Valesquez, aged IS, a girl of unusual beauty, living in Mex icali, committed suicide Saturday morning by swallowing large quan- tity of strychnine. Her body, dressed as if she had intended leaving the house, was found on her bed, and by her side was a bottle that contained the poison. It was half filled with the drug, and bore the label of drug store in San Diego.
 The body was prepared for burial at the Hens undertaking parlors, and was inferred Saturday evening in the Mexicali cemetery. The authorities conducted an examination, and found that her act of self-destruction was premeditated.
 The girl left two letters, one to her mother, and the other to the young customs official. The latter stated Saturday evening that Mrs. ValesQuez refused to give him the letter addressed to him, and said he could not even guess at it's contents. He was apparently much surprised and deeply grieved at the girls rash act. He claimed to have considered here. merely as a friend,-Calexico Chronicle.

ENOUGH GLASS JARS
 TO HOLD ALL FRUIT

Special to Yuma Daily Examiner)
 WASHINGTON, Aug 13.-Reports received by the United States depart ment of agriculture indicate that there will be enough glass jars, new and old together, during the entire canning season to take care of the bulk of the perishable fruits and vegetables.
 Manufacturers state that of one type of jar alone 9OO,OO0 gross have been distributed during the present season. The manufacturing capacity for this type of jar is approximately 5000 gross per day, or S5,OO0,Oo0 jars during the next 100 days, and the capacity can be increased if necessary.
 Manufacturers of other types of glass containers are prepared, it is stated, to turn out many thousands of gross day. Two weeks ago glass companies were ready to distribute immediately enough containers to hold over 1S,O0O,O0O quarts of fruits and vegetables.
 The new jars to be manufactured in time for this seasons canning, it is estimated, will enable American housewives to put up over 100000 packs of beans, corn, peas, tomatoes, peaches, plums and apples, raised in home gordens of bought in the market when the supply is plentiful.
 These figures do not take into ac- count the great quantities of jars in stores and on housewives shelves. Any kind of bottles, old or new. that can be properly sealed can be used instead of cans or jars for conserving many perishable food products, ac- cording to experts of the department of agriculture. While glass or crock cry jars provided with sealing devices are needed for canning vegetables and fruits, bottles and jars not so provid- ed can be used for some other prod ucts. Preserves, marmalades, jellies, and other fruit preparations in which thick syrup is used,' can be put up in large-necked bottles and jars and seal ed with paraffin, and fruit juices can be placed even in smallnecked bot ties.
 Use Your Old Jars and Bottles
 Jars and large-necked bottles can be capped with paper and paraffin, or, in the case of jellies and stiff marma- lades, with paraffin alone. Smallneck- ed bottles, for use in putting up fruit | juices, can be sealed in the following manner: Make cotton stopper, press it into the neck of the bottle and leave during the sterilization or boiling pc riad. To sterilize, set the bottle in boiling hot water up to the neck and let it remain for 40 minutes at tenn perature of 165 degrees Fahr. Then remove the bottle, press the cork, which has been baked in the oven for one hour, in the top over the cotton, immediately, and dip the top into melted wax or paraffin. Don't miss any step.
