CBy Associated Press.)

Rantoul, ILL.,, June 16.-The latest
approach to "a town sprung up over
night" is being constructed on the new
army aviation training field here.
More than 1900 men, working Sun
days and holidays, are putting up So
buildings, and by July 20, it is expected
that the population of this town will
have increased from 1880 to about
5000.
The site at Rantoul is one of eight
selected for training men seeking
commissions in the reserve corps Of
the aviation section of the army. The
stations at Chicago and Mineola, L. l.,
have been in operation for several
weeks, and others in the central de-
partment of the army are being rush
ed to completion at Dayton O., and
Detroit, Mich.
The local station is about Is miles
north of Urbana where, at the Uni
versity Of Illinois, most Of the student
aviators who will be turned loose"
here, are to receive their theoretical
training. The site was selected May
81, and the following day the contract
was let to a firm at Champaign, ILL.,,
for the construction of SO buildings
on the 640-acre tract. Last week, six
more hangers were added to the orig
inal number, making So to be ready for
use July 90. This means the compile
ton of one building a day on an aver
age. The contractors have been delay
ed in their work by a shortage of ma
teria1, but already lis carloads have
been used and there are Al carloads of
lumber in transit. 1T Is estimated that
more than 100000 feet of lumber,
and 40 tons of nails will be used. All
lumber is being shipped from southern
points. Teh Kankakee & Urbana
Traction company has built a spur into
the field, and cars are being switched
from the Illinois Central railroad to
the traction line.
Buildings are being erected along
the entire length OF the north side of
the field. as follows:
Eighteen hangers, 66x120.
Ten officers quarters, 24x134

recognizable. 1t belongs to the same
family as carrots and parsnips. 1t has
number of popular names, Of which
the most common is "cowbane," or
water hemlock" In the mountain re-
gions OF the west 1t is frequently
called "parsnip' or wild parsnip."
Other names, less common, are snake

Is especially common in some parts Of

group of tubers. The cicuta Is most
readily distinguished from plants Of
similar appearance growing under the

tons that make recognition easier
Only the root OF cicuta is poisonous,
Cases of poisoning are more frequent
in the spring, partly because the roots
are more likely to be noticed at that
time. and partly because they appear
TO be more poisonous then than later
In the season. Occasionally stock find
the roots when they are washed out
by high water in small streams. Far
mers In their blowing sometimes bring
TO the surface a considerable number
OF roots, and these are eaten by cattle,
with resulting sickness and death.
In cases OF the poisoning OF human
beings the recognized treatment is to
give an efficient emetic, followed by a
catharttc. Some form of opium may
be given to control the commissions
when they are violent II free vonait-
Ing is promptly produced, the patient
is likely to recover.
It is obvious that runinant animals
can not be treated In this way, for
the effective clearing OF the stomach
Is impossible. While hypoderrnic In
jections of morphine may be used to
aid in controlling the commissions and
a purgative may help in eliminating
the poison, ordinarily the commissions
are so violent that nothing can be
done for the animal.
So far as livestock are concerned.
about all that can be done must he
in the way of prevention. II the land
is plowed whore the plant grows, care
should be taken that no roots are left
where stock can get at them. Where
the plants grow in great abundance.
as they frequently do along irrigat-
ing bitches, 1t is desirable to dig them
out. When this is done the roots
should not be left on the surface, but
should be destroyed. 1t is seldom that
stock ts poisoned when grazing. un-'
less 1t grazes along bitches, where the
plants sometimes grow almost in the
water with very little soil and can
easily be pulled up.
Perhaps there is no way to prevent
some cases Of poisoning Of children.
Something might be accomplished.
however, II parents and teachers would
attempt to make clear to children the
danger of eating strange roots.

FRUIT JUICES

Washington, D. c., June 11.-Fruit
juices for use later in jelly making
| can be sterilized and bottled without
sugar and made into jellfes at the
housewives convenience. This enables
her to do with fewer jelly glasses and
to distribute her purchases Of sugar
for jelly making through the year.
Moreover, with the bottled Juice she
can make a greater variety of jellies,
as juices which will not jell can be
put up when the fruit is ripe and COM
bined later with fruits that will jell,
or fruits ripening at different seasons
can be combined. For example, the
juice Of Strawberries, cherries, or pine
apple can be kept without sugar and
later when apples are plentiful can be
made into combination jelly
From the unsugared sterilized juices
OF currants, apples, crabapples, and
grapes, kept from to IS months, the
Bureau of Chemistry, United States
Department of Agriculture, recently
made jellies of excellent texture, flavor,
and color.
To put up unsugared fruit juices for
Jelly making, proceed exactly as If
jelly were to be made at the time.
Cook the fruits until they are-soft and
strain out the juice through a flannel
bag. Heat and pour while hot into
bottles previously scalded. Fill the
bottles full, leaving no air space be-
tween Juice and cork or seal. Place
the filled sealed bottles on their sides
in water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about thirty
minutes. Make sure that the corked
or sealed end is under the hot water.
AS soon as the bottles are cool, cover
the cork with parafin seal.
through sterilization and sealing are
absolutely essential to success.
Juice, test its jelling quality, add the
proper amount Of sugar, and proceed
as in making jelly from freshly ex-
pressed juice.

 We had a fine trip and arrived in Eugene after having been on the train for five days and five hours. My wife and Earl enjoyed the trip fine and inn proved in health We came by way of Monett, Kansas City, Denver, Ogden, and Sacramento, then north to Eu- gene. The weather IS fine here, yet dry and plenty of sunshine, but every one is putting wood in their wood house. which shows me they expect to have the rain to set in anytime, and as everyone has his wood house adja- cent to his house it makes one think they have some kind of sprinkle dur ing the rainy season.
 Well, I guess everyone will expect me to express an opinion of northern California and Oregon. So far as l have seen I would not advise anyone to travel three thousand miles to live when you have as good or better op portunities in northwest Arkansas. l do not know how long I will visit here with my brothers, but guess the sunshine will decide the matter.
