u
 CINCINNATTI, Nov. 10. The close of election week for Ohio left the anti-prohibition forces with a lead of 1,S16 votes, the tabulation including 77 counties officially re- ported to the secretary of state, eight county seat official returns and three unofficial but complete county totals. The totals which since Tues day night had waxed and waned for either side as wet or dry centers re- ported their votes or as variations were discovered in county totals to- night, stood:
 For prohibition. 522,226; against, 524.O42.
 The vote of Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) reported officially late today which showed 8 net gain of s1s wet votes over the unofficial figures, carried the prohibition majority on the face of the tabula- ton within hailing distance of two thousand and gave the vets what they asserted was ample proof that prohibition was defeated in Ohio.

tration and justice are taking to repub-
lican ideas and the parliamentary re-
gime, and considerable unsupported or
atorical talent has been discovered in
this land where powder only has talk
ed before.
The idea of forming the Skipetar re-
public is due to Colonel Descoins, COM
handing the French forces stationed
here. When he assumed command o.
the post he called all the notables of
tie town together and talked to them
in this vein:
"Skipetars, my friends, until De-
cember. 1912, you suffered under Turk
/ ish regime; in May, 1918, it was the
Greek army that mistreated you; then
until March, 1914, you became famil
lar with the inconvenience of Greek
civil administration; in July, 1914, it
was the noxious buffoonery of Prince
! de WED that was imposed upon you;
| in December. 1915, it was again the
Greek military occupation; in Octo-
her, 1916, it was the Gree kroyalist
civil administration, and in November
1916, the Venezelist, followed in De-
cember by the French military oceu
patton, with Greek civil authorities
You ought to have enough of all these
experiments, and l have very simple
suggestion to make to you. Why don't
you govern yourselves? You are Al
banians. Be Albanians time and moth
ing else. Cease all intrigues and oc-
cupy yourselves with your own self
government. French troops are here
to defend the territory. that's all. Be
honest men, III be the gendarme."
This plain talk appealed to the
Skipetars, who at once formed repuD-
lie with parliament of fourteen mem
bers and a president whose nature of
office is a fortnight
Prosperity has come in with the re-
public. A coal mine at outZa is being
exploited and, aided by the military
authorities, the Skipetar government is
preparing to develop copper and iron
ore deposits, declared by engineers to
he rich and extensive.

i1g gardens under the direction OF the
extension workers of the State Col
lege of Agriculture. These gardens
will produce food for the summer and
a great surplus of vegetables which
NUT be preserved for use next winter.
With the shortage of food it would be
grave crime to allow any or these
vegetables to waste. What provision
has been made to conserve these prod
ucts?
There are three ways of conserving
fruits and vegetables:
1. Drying (a) 1t is entirely practi-
cal to dry fruits and vegetables at
hcme for use during the winter. This
can be done by drying in the sun or
by using homemade evaporators.
There are on the market may COM
morcial eyaporators which are salts
factory. The products saved in this
way are better than those dried in the
sun and will bring higher price when
Tut upon the market.
2. Canning in Glass. (a) For home
use this year we would recommend
any jar or bottle which may be found
in the home. All empty pickle bottles
and all the old-style jars should be
filled with fruit juices and syrups.
soup mixtures, etc. No canning in
tin should be done where the vegeta-
hles or fruits are to be used at home.
as the tin should be saved for the
marketable products.
o. For commercial purposes can
hing in glass is entirely practical for
fancy products. 1t may also be recon-
mended where the glass jars can be
returned and refilled.
8. Canning in Tin. (a) Wax strin5
cans may be used at home for fruits
and vegetables that need only one
processing. 1t is not wise, however, to
use these cans more than one year,
since they cannot be shipped, they are
expensive to use as the initial cost is
greater than that of packers tins.
(b) The regulation packers tins
are the best containers for preserv-
ing food if the products are to be
shipped. They are entirely satisfac~
tory in every way and are easily han
died. The only hindrance is their very
high price.
With the extreme difficulty we are
experiencing in the matter of securing
containers we would recommend that
the greater part of the surplus fruits
and vegetables on the farms be dried
This can be done with little expen-
diture of time and money, and if done
under sanitary conditions, good prod
uct will result. Then can in glass. The
initial cost of glass this year is not
much greater than that of tin and the
glass can be used repeatedly. Each
home should have glass containers
sufficient to supply the family with
canned products every day in the
year.
When all possible drying and can
ming in glass have been done, then
can in tin. Although the State Col
lege of Agriculture has been doing the
utmost to help in securing tip cans for
the people of Georgia, it seems the
price is prohibitive, yet in the face OF
a food famine, it is nothing short OF
a serious crime to allow any food to
waste that might be saved. So that we
say to you, dry food, can it in glass,
and then, despite the high prices OF
tin cans. buy tin cans and conserve
what food may be left.
