in price since the beginning of the
European war three years ago. The
reduction of the grade of the Rainbow

many times its cost to the people of
the state.

was begun a day or two ago and will
be carried on as rapidly as possible
until is is finished. At this point only
about seven or eight hundred feet of

undertaking is not very big one. The

EVERY HOUSEHOLD URGED TO

large number of back yard gardens
which have been planted this year

lar supplies also will reach the mar

Immediate consumptive capacity. Not
to conserve much of this surplusage
OF valuable food would be sinful
waste.
The present food and labor situa-
tions are such that no household is
justified in looking to others to re-
lease IT wholly from individual re-
sponsibilitysand constructive action in
saving and conserving food. All any
home should expect of others is to
supply those foods which cannot be
produced effectively by its own mem
bers. The railroads will be burdened
with the transportation of staple
foods and civil and military necessi.
ties from localities of production and
manufacture to district sincapabie OF
supplying their own needs. II follows
that all locally produced foods. con-
served by home methods. lessen the
winter pressure on transportation
agencies and also releases similar pro.
ducts OF factories for other purposes.
81 urge every household. therefore.
to can all surplus perishab.e products
for which they have containers and To
dry and keep in paper any additional
surplus suitable for such preserva-
ton.
Canning calls for no special skin
and for little equipment beyond a
wash boiler and Jars. Fresh products
Cleanliness and heat are the chief re
quirements. as even sugar Is not es-
sential for canning fruits under mod
ern procedure. Fruits and yegeta-
bles. moreover. can be dried efficient
iy in the sun. over a range or gas
stove, OF before an electric fan. Home
made shallow trays OF wood or heavy
wire screen are the chief equipment
required. Drying Ii n time tried home
industry: conservation OF food by dry:
ing is largely a matter OF restoring
to the home great-grandmother's
method OF seeing that her family had
good food in winter as a relief from
monotonous diet OF root vegetables.
Canning and drying can be practiced
as effectively in city house or apart
ment as on a farm or in suburban
dwelling.
Canning. OF course. already is n
profitable industry for women and
children in thousands of homes aud
trust Will become almost universal
this season. To aid the home con.
seryaiion movement the department
OF agriculture has issued new Farm
ers Bulletin on home canning and an.
other on home drying of fruits and

should be read and followed in every
household which wishes TO translate

They Are of Both Sexes and Have

Good fellows are not limited TO one
sex. Not by any means. This would
be sorry world if they were. In fact,
they may be found anywhere, and
everywhere, for wherever you hear a
cheerful, heartsome song there you win
find a good fellow, as surely as there
is partridge where 'bob white' is.
The good fellows have saved the
world from proving an utter failure,
and whatever there is that is worth
having is due to their good offices, and
whatsoever of greatness this old world
may achieve in ages TO come it Will
owe to the good fellows who belong to
the ages.
Your really good fellow is not
goody-goody chap, too pretty to n1ingie
with the throng, and to fine for every
day use. Not he. Being neither sugar
nor salt, he will stand a deal of rain
and storm, and with courage strong he
is ever ready for any fray in which
the right is assailed. To him death is
a secondary matter when to live would
be to play the coward
