Working in Behalf of Poland
Albania.

Notwithstanding the cold weather
that prevailed on Sunday, there was
an excellent attendance at both the
afternoon and evening benefit enter
tainments at the Bennington opera
house. Those who were instrument
tai in making the arrangements for
the benefit, which were for the suffer
ing people of Russia and Albania,
wish to express their appreciation
for the generous response accorded
by the people of Bennington.
They believe that especial thanks
are due the management of the opera
house which donated the house, films
and service on percentage basis
which was barely enough to cover eA-
penses, to the members of Donnelly's
orchestra and Randles' orchestra who
gave their services free of charge.
Thanks are also extended to the edi
tor of the Banner who throughout the
week gave the service of the paper.

SPORTING NOTES

The possibilities that Fitchburg
would be a member of the Eastern
league next season in place of Port.
land have been obliterated. Several
men in that town were in hopes of Sc
curing Duffy's franchise in Portland
and moving it to Fitchburg. When
the town went dry the prospective
buyers thought that league team in
the city would not be paying propo-
sition as fans from surrounding cities
would not come to the games so they
gave up the idea for this year at
least. This still leaves the Portland
matter unsettled.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
FOOD CONSERVATION
Government Tells Ameri-

Save for Larder.
lave THE HOME GARDEN
! SURPLUS.

The crop Of vegetables from home
gardens promises to be Unusually
large in practically all sections Of the
country this year, says the United
States department of agriculture in a
statement just issued. Home garden
ers. therefore,, it is pointed out, should
begin now to plan so that the products
raised by them will be used to the best
possible advantage, without waste.
both by immediate consumption and by
preservation by canning, drying or in
other ways.
fected in the food bill in many in
more largely of the fresh home grown
vegetables.
Dry or Can Food.
Even with liberal use in the family
diet in a fresh state however; there
will be considerable SURPRISES of veg
etables from many home gardens.
These should be saved in some way.
Canning is the method most usually
employed, but it is possible that cans
and Jars cannot be obtained in suf-
ficient quantities this year to pack the
surplus perishablcs. In such cases
many products easily can be preserved
by drying.
by this method surplus water is
driven off by placing sliced products
on trays in the sun, over a stove or be-
fore an electric fan. The dried foods
can be kept perfectly in paper bags
or boxes sufficiently tight to exclude
insects. Soaking in water will bring
the products back practically to their
original texture and they may then
be cooked like fresh vegetables.
Some Suggestions.
In putting up vegetables and fruits
for future use the home gardener may
find the following suggestions useful
'If you can obtain cans and jars
only in limited numbers, can tomatoes
and other vegetables which cannot be
dried easily. and such fruits as you
prefer in a juicy form. Wherever pos
sible concentrate succuitnt foods such
as tomatoes.
Preserve or jam the fruits and ber-
rtes which YOU prefer in that form.
and put them in glasses sealed with
raraffin or In wide-neckcd bottles.
Put fruit juices in ordinary bottles.
DRY practically any common veg
ctable except asparagus, egg plant
radishes, LETTUCE and the like. and most
fruits except Strawberries and native
grapes. The more important of the
vegetables, that are usually dried are
sweet corn. snap and string beans
shelled beans shelled peas. and the
root crops. Tomatoes though consist
ing in large part of water are dried
successfully by many immigrants from
southern Europe.
IF a considerable number of cans
or jars are at your disposal so that
vegetables may be canned be sure to
include the more nutritious such as
green beans and peas"
