Home Drying of Fruits

e Washington, d. C. June 16.-Dry veg
etables and fruits for winter use if
tin cans and glass Jars for canning are
scarce or expensive.
This is the advice of specialists Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, who recently have studied the
possibilities of conserving food to meet
war needs in spite of any difficulties
that may be experienced in obtaining
canning containers. Drying was we'll
recognized and successful way of pre-
serving certain foods before canning
came in to general use, the spec
ialists point out, and modern methods
make it still more practicable than for
merly, either in the home or by commun
ity groups.
Methods Of Drying.
Three methods of drying have been
found by the Department specialists to
give satisfactory results. These are sun
drying, drying by artificial heat, and
drying with air blasts, as before an ell
ectric fan. Trays for drying by any
one of these methods, as well as tray
frames for use over stoves or before
fans, can be made satisfactory at home.
Frames and trays for use with artifi-
cial heat may be purchased complete if
desired.
Homemade trays may be made of
side and end boards three-fourths of an
inch thick and inches wide, and bot
tom boards of lathing spaced one-fourth
of an inch. If desired, one-fourth inch
galvanized wire mesh may be tackled to
~ a. J., - g.
bottoms of the trays. Frames for use
with artificial heat should be made of
noninflammable material to as great an
extent as possible. As many as six
trays may be placed one above the other
when artificial heat is used. In drying
before a fan the number Of trays that
may be placed one above the other will
depend, to large extent, upon the dia-
meter of the fan. In drying in the sun,
trays as described may be used or the
products to be dried may be spread on
sheets of paper or muslin held in place
by weights.
Preparing Products for Drying.
Vegetables and fruits will dry better
if sliced. They should be cut into slices
one eighth TO one fourth of an inch
thick If thicker, they may not dry
thoroughly. While drying, the products
should be turned or stirred from time to
time. Dried products should be packed
temporarily for three or four days and
poured each day from one box to ano-
ther to bring about thorough mixing,
and so that the whole mass win have a
uniform degre of moisture. If during
this conditioning" any pieces Of the
products are found to be too moist, they
they should be returned to the trays
and dried further. When in condition,
the products may be packed permanent
ly in tight paper bags, inseet-proof pa
per boxes or cartons or glass of tin con-
tainers.

More Auto
HoOdlumS

Sunday night, about the time the
churches were finishing their evening
services, and the streets alive with
people, an auto truck infested with
three or four loudly cursing and sup
posedly drunk hoodlums passed up
Columbia street at break-neck rate
the driver, so it is reported, loudly
declaring, eff these b don't
want to get run over, let 'em get out
of the way"
Proceeding on out the road, some-
where near Rock Springs, the crew
ran into the rear of buggy driven
by Thomas Depper, who, with his wife,
was driving along the road, seriously
wrecked the buggy, and inflicted more
or less serious injuries on both occu-
pants. 1t is said that Mr.. Depper has
the number of the car, and intends to
follow the matter up and obtain some
redress.
But how long is this sort of thing
going to be tolerated in Pennington ?
1t has been suggested that the frank
publication of the numbers of the
cars driven by reckless speed-mani-
acs might be helpful, but to pinch a
few of them and make an example of
them might be more so. Another sug-
gestion that seems worth while, is
that if the city marshal would take a
look around little further out from
the court house square, he would be
able to get his eyes open as to who is
who in this sort of law violation.
The speed demons are getting wise to
the surveillance of the officers down
town, and very little speeding is done
about the downtown streets. But
further out-on residence streets
where little tots are playing, and
peaceable citizens walking or driving
the speed-fends "cut 'er loose" in
a feeling of security that the law
can't get 'em.
There is no good reason why Farm
ington should put up with a nuisance
that is being effectually suppressed
everywhere else. Public sentiment is
back Of any move to suppress the au-
to-hoodlum, and those whose duty it
is to put an end to it can take what
ever action is necessary, with COM
plete sureness of the solid backing of
the public. Get after iti

Why Not Have
a Fire Truck ?

Other towns the size of Farming
ton and much smaller have far more
up to date fire fighting apparatus than
Pennington. Formerly, before autos
became relatively cheap and reliable
in their operation, the horse-drawn
vehicle was well enough. But nova
days, before someone can be found
to hitch up, the fire wagon started on
it's way, considerable damage can be
done by fire. And even with far bet
ter horses than we have available for
the purpose, horse-drawn freight
ing equipment is as slow, to use the
slang expression, Gas the seven year
itch"
Fighting fire is a matter in which
every citizen of this town is, or ought
to be, vitality interested. If prop
erty owner, it is vital to protect prop
orty. Even if not a property owner,
every person in the town runs more or
less risk of injury, personal loss, cr
even death through fire, and no other
improvement in the town is so prac-
ticable and so keenly needed as bet
ter fire-fghting means. We have a
splendid waterworks system, with
ample pressure to put out almost any
fire. But of what avail is it with a
slow-moving horse-drawn wagon lum-
bering along at slow pace bringing
hose to the fire?
We suggest that the Commercial
Club jump on this problem at once
and push it through to success. An
auto truck, either with or without a
pumping engine should be secured at
once. Also some system should be de-
vised to more quickly reveal the To-
cation of a fire. AS it is now, when
the first whistle sounds, one sees scores
of people scurring aimlessly about the
streets, each asking his neighbor
"where's the. fire." and frequently it
is fifteen or twenty minutes before it
is really known.
And it wouldn't hurt to practice the
fire laddies a bit in their several du-
ties. Something like cash prize for
the fireman who can first make a con-
nection and get hts hose playing
would stimulate interest. These fire
drills are a popular sport many places,
serving to keep the fire fighters
volunteers, just like our own boys
up on their toes and in trim to put out
la fire in a jiffy when one breaks out.

st, Francois county's first conting-
ent of lit young men departed by
way of DeLassus last Friday after
noon for Camp Funston, Ft. Riley,
Kansas.
The occasion was made a memoir
able one by the ingathering of thou
sands of people from all parts of the
county to bid the boys god-speed and
do honor to their patriotism. The
streets of Pennington were thronged
all day with the crowds, the farewell
demonstration being by far the larg-
est even of its kind perhaps ever wit
messed in this county.
The contingent leaving was about
30 per cent of the quota to be furnish
ed by the county, which is the largest
of any county in the State, except
those counties in which are located
some big city.
The ceremonies were held under the
auspices of the county's council OF
Home Defense, with sixteen other pa
triotic and church organizations par
ticipating in some way. Business
houses and schools closed in honor OF
the occasion, and large delegations
came from all over the county.

famous Lead Belt Concert Band, fol
lowed by company of regular sol

Simmering
Down to Six

The article in The Times last week,
signed, "Citizens of Elvins," and in
fact written, sponsored and brought
TO our office by a group of Elvins cit
izens we believed to be entirely trust
worthy, seems to have caused a good
deal of feeling among the decent ma
jority Of the soldier boys encamped in
the Lead Belt.
A captain and lieutenant called at
The Times office on Wednesday, and
asked us to publish a statement from
Sergeant Smith, which we are very
glad to do, and it will be found in an
other column. Also VIC are glad to
say that we are assured by these Off
GERS that the offending roughnecks,
Only six in number, have been sifted
out and put in the guard house.
Who actually commits the outrages
of which citizens generally have been
complaining is of little moment so long
as the offences against common de-
cency are effectually stopped This,
1t seems, has been done since the visit
of special Investigator from WASH
ington who came to the district fol-
lowing the publicity The Times and
OJler county papers gave luS LndI-
ter, and The Times is more than glad
to express fullest confidence that the
better element among the men will,
each for himself, make it his business
to see that no erring comrade brings
discredit upon the entire command by
acting like swine instead of like SOL
diers.
There was no time to investigate
the truth or falsity of the statements
made by our contributor before 60
ing to press last week, but the echos
from scores of eye witnesses and suf-
ferers from the lawlessness and lack
of regulation of some of the boys in
uniform, have been so frequent and
persistent that some airing of the
matter was due and deserved for the
very purpose of clearing the good
name and honor of the decent, we'll
behaved two hundred and ninety-four
by bringing the delinquencies of the
six outlaws against discipline to the
attention Of those who could and did
put them where they belong.

What the Blue
Cross Means

Did you notice blue cross on your
Times this week? If you did, it is
just a friendly way of letting you
know that your time is out for the pa
per, and reminding you to renew your
subscription at once, so as not to miss
any issue of the paper.
Several weeks ago we announced
through the paper, and for several
weeks repeated it, that on October 1st
the cash-in-advance rule for subscrip-
tions would have to go into effect,
without discrimination, under an
"equal-rights-to-all, special privileges
to none" policy being adopted by most
of the newspapers throughout Missou-
ri, and indeed the whole country.
The time has gone by when a coun-
try newspaper can pay the high prices
for paper, labor, and everything that
enters into it's production, and wait a
year, or two years for the subscrip-
tion price. There is no question of the
honesty or good intentions of sub
scribers to pay up. In fact some of
our most valued subscribers, who have
stuck to us for five, ten, twenty, thir-
ty years even, have always had the
habit of paying at the end of the year,
or some other convenient time. But
all that is and must be changed now
days.
The Times labors faithfully for the
interests of everything worthy in st.
Francois county, and has become, we
think, paper thoroughly worth the
subscription price in any home in st.
Francois county, as we'll as to citi-
zens living elsewhere who want to
keep in touch with the things going
on "back home" We ask simply the
reasonable cooperation of those for
whom the paper is edited and printed,
and that cooperation is best expressed
by willingness to pay for the paper
in advance and thus enable us to keep
up the standard and improve all the
time.
If there is a blue cross on your pa
per, lose no time in renewing your
subscription. We value your patron
age, appreciate your help, support and
good will, and want to keep you on
our lists indefinitely. 1t is not our
wish to stop anybody's paper, but the
blue cross is final notice before dis
continuing the paper to the addresses
of those who have not paid in advance
for it.

Successful State
Press Meeting

The Missouri State Press Associa-
tion met in st. Louis on the goth
inst. and held busy and profitable
two-days meeting. Thursday morn
ing's meeting was held in the assem-
bly, room on the tenth floor of the
Annex hotel. 1t had been previously
given out by the program committee
that only brief talks, with a punch
in them, or pointed and pithy remarks
would be expected at these meetings,
and no one trespassed in the least.
In consequence of which many good
and practical suggestions were
brought out that all present could
convert to their own personal use and
profit.
The editorial party were the guests
of the Suffrage League at 1 o'clock
luncheon in the dining room of the
American hotel, where the splendid
eats and bright, happy speeches put
all visitors in a mood to enjoy to the
uttermost the "seeing st. Louis" au-
tomobile ride which filled the remain
der of the afternoon, and gave many
including the writer-a somewhat
enlarged and improved idea of the
magnifcence of that place as a res
idence city. The first stop was made
at the old Grant homestead, on which
the original log cabin is still intact.
This homestead is now the site of the
splendid Busch country home, being
several miles outside the city limits.
The party spent a half hour at the
barns of this splendid estate, inspect
ing the horses, cattle, hogs, ETC., and
wondering at the inequalities so often
seen in this life.
From here the route continued
countryward, until "Sunset Inn" was
reached. Here the party again
alighted, washed up, and for an hour
enjoyed the splendid hospitality that
was extended them, without money
and without price" This is really an
ideal place TO rest and recuperate,
and it fitted in so snugly after the
long auto drive. "Sunset Inn" de-
rived its name from the surprising
loveliness of the sunset as viewed
from that point. From here the party
was taken to the "Bevo Mill" a
unique building erected mainly as an
advertisement of that popular drink.
