CANNING
STORAGE OF VEGETABLES.

Horne storage of vegetables is Of i'm portance at all times, but especially so now on account of the high prices of suitable containers for canning pur- poses, says the bulletin of the National Emergency Food Garden Commission of Washington, with whicn this paper is cooperating in the saving of home grown vegetables for late fall and win ter use.
 Today the bulletin discusses the storage of such vegetables as potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, salSIfy,-parsn1pS and sometimes cabbage in the >conical pit These pits may be made as small as desired and several small ones are better than on. large one. because a small amount of several different veg etables may be stored in one pit and in winter tLe pit may be emptied at one time and the vegetables stored tempor- arily in the house until they are used up. It is an unpleasant job co open up A pit every few days in the winter time. Where several vegetables are stored in ope pit they should be sep arated by straw or similar material.
 The conical pit should be made on the surface of the ground or or 4 inches below. The bottom should be covered with several inches of straw leaves or other material upon which the vegetables are placed in a conical pile. Winch completed the pik should be covered with several inches of straw or leaves or other material and then
  determined by the winter temperature.
 In the milder portions of the coun- try few inche. will suffice. but in the colder sections foot or two will be required together with at least the same thickness of manure. corn fodGer or similar material.
 The amount of ventilation necessary will depend upon the size of the pit. Small pits containing only a few bush els or barrels of vegetables will receive sufficient ventilation if the straw cov- ering is allowed to extend through the ,1irt covering at the top. The top should then be covered with a board or lpiece of tin held in place by a weight to prevent rain entering the pit. In larger pits ventilation may be secured by placing two or three pieces the center of the pile so as to form a hue. This fiue should bo capped by two pieces Of board nailed together so form . .rnush to prevent rstn from en-

A NATIONAL MENACE.

When reports from Washington in- dicate that the raiding of the I. W. w. headquarters throu ghout the country for the purpose of securing documen- tary proof of the activities in which that organization was engaged result ed in obtaining possession of evidence which goes to show that a nationwide conspiracy has existed for some time 1t is to be realized that the move was made none too soon.
 The dragnet was not spread without good and sufficient reason. It was by no means 2 chance affair. but a move based upon a carefu! investigation which has been underway for some time Throughout the west, as we'll as in other sections. representatives of the | w W. had been doing their ut

DEATHS ON THE RAILROADS.

Figures which have just been issued by the interstate commerce eommis- sion covering the year 1916 show that there were 1e,001 persons killed on the railroads of this country while 196. .722 were injured. The number of passen- gers killed totalled 291 and employees killed 2941. leaving almost TOGO of the number killed as trespassers or those who were not employed by the roads or not travelling on the trains as passengers.
 This. shows a considerable increase over the number whose lives were taken ia such a manner during the previous year. both az to killed and injured and fit is this increase of 1871 deaths which points out how great the opportunity still is for put ting into effect the policy of safety first
 When one stops to think of the large number of people who trespass upon railroad property every day, for one reason or another. it is perhaps surprising that there are not many more killed or&injured than there are. At the same time it cannot help be- ing fealized that they are going into places of danger without realizing their responsibility to themselves. It is invariably the fault Of those who are killed or injured upon railroad property, either through carelessness or lack of appreciation of the dan ger which they invade. that there is such a large toll in human lives. so that in spite of all the warnings that are given and the efforts which are made to protect lives there still re- mains a. great opportunity, for those who frequent railroad property to practice the first law of nature, that of self preservation. With the proper cooperation with the railroads this annual record should be materially

 But even this will not be a surprise to the rest of the world and it cannot be much different than the Poles them selves had reason to anticipate. There was a certain element which placed faith in the alluring promises held out by Germany and Austria They be- 1ieved that these countries were going to permit them to realize the ambi- ton which had so long been held. But there were others, and they must have made up the large majority of the people who took the bait with pinch of salt They realized that it was being put forth for the purpose Of winning over the Poles to participa tion
