for national service. This answer,
though required by law, was made
with a spirit of willingness that
robbed the registration of any faint
Of compulsion or seryitude.
The second answer from the peo-
pie was registered finally on June l s,
and the answer completed that day
was entirely voluntary More than
100000 American citizens yolun-
tariIy subscribed their money to sup
port the United States in the war
This they did. not Historically, not in
a spirit of war fever, but calmly and
in the exercise of judgment and
reason.
1t is true that the subscribers TO
the Liberty Loan of 1917 get full
value received for their contribution
but the immense number of small
bonds bought shows that it was not
the wealthy alone of the nation that
supported the Liberty Loan. II
shows that it was not the investing
public of America alone that bought
the bonds. 1t shows that the Amer
lean people subscribed the loan, and
that, while many wealthy citizens in
vested millions in the bonds, a great
many more American citizens oil

More than this, the lists of sub
scribers show that many citizens oil
very small means, perhaps with nc
capital and no great earning capac-
lily, were willing to stint them selves
in order to purchase a Liberty Loan
bond and have a share in the finan-
cial support of their country in time
Of war.

The Liberty Loan of 1917 is new
tie between the government and the
people of the United States. Every
holder of a Liberty Loan bond feels
more of an American citizen, and
along with a sense of duty done and

CANNING FRUIT
WITHOUT SUGAR

Washington, ID. C.--Fruit for use
in pie or salads or as stewed fruit
can be put up or canned without the
use of any sugar at all, according to
the canning specialists of the depart
ment They, therefore, advise those
who, because of the high price of
sugar, have been thinking of reduc-
ing the amount Of fruit they put up,
to can as much of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar strip is beyond their
III cans. Any fruit, they say may be
successfully sterilized and retained
in the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead of the hot strip. The
in the canning of all kinds of fruits
and makes a better and ready
sweetened product. Moreover, most
of the fruits when canned in water
alone do not retain their natural fla
vor, texture and color as well as
fruit put up in strip. Fruit canned
without sugar to be used for sauces
or desserts must be sweetened.
Directions for Canning Fruits With

Can the product the same day it is
picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and
clean the fruit by placing it in a
strainer and pouring water over it
until it is clean. Pack the product
thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans
until they are full; use the handle OF
a tablespoon, wooden ladle, or table
knife for packing purposes. Pour
over the fruit boiling water from a
Kettle, place rubbers and caps in po-
sition, partially seal if using glass
jars, seal completely If using tin
cans. Place the containers in a ster-
liking vat such as a wash boiler with
false bottom, or other receptacle i'm
proVised for the purpose. If using a
hot water bath outfit. process for 80
minutes; count time after the water
has reached the boiling point; the
water must cover the highest jar in
container. After sterilizing rem owe
packs seal glass jars. wrap in paper
to prevent bleaching and store in a
dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans il
will improve the product to plunge
the cans quickly into cold water i'm
mediately after sterilization. When
using a steam pressure Gamer in
stead OF the hot'water bath. sterilize
for 10 minutes with five pounds of
steam pressure. Never allow the
pressure to go over 10 pounds.

Using the Scrub Palmetto.

Once prolific and troublesome waste
product throughout Florida, the scrub
palmetto Is now being developed into
an asset Of great possibilities. Not
only has 1t been discovered that paper
Of good quality can be made from It,
but the manufacture Of carpets, mat
tings, twines, rope and burlap from the
plant Is already an industry Of high
standing in the state. Only the green
leaf, or fan, Is used. Claim Is made
that the palmetto leaves when shred
ded and spun are very much tougher
than the grass now used for mattings.
The green leaves are fed Just as they
are cut into the shredding and spinning
machines, and in three minutes they
come out In Irvine. This avoids the
discolorations and losses occasioned In
drying, storing and handling grasses
commonly used for mating. Palmetto
can be cut every day in the year and
Immediately made into Irvine. The
skeins Of Irvine when hung up dry rap
idly and uniformly. The Irvine Is used
as soon afterward as necessary.-Argo.

Making q Magnet.

The simplest way Of magnetizing a
bar Of steel is that known as "single
touch" The bar to be magnetized is
laid on the table, and the pole Of a
powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along its length, always
in the same direction. If the north pole
of the magnet is employed the end of
the bar first touched will also become
a north pole, while the opposite end, at
which the magnet is lifted before re-
turning, will be a south pole.
There are other and more complicat-
ed methods, known as divided touch
and double touch" in which two and
even four magnets are employed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing it within q coil Of insulated
wire, through which galvanic current
is circulating. The magnetism induced
in this way, however, is weak COM
pared with that which can be procured
if the same strength Of current is en-
ployed through the Intervention Of an
electromagnetic.

Shotguns In War.

That shotguns should be largely utf.
lied in modern warfare is the conten-
ton Of a number Of military experts
1t is pointed out that such guns would
be particularly useful to sentries at
night time, as an intruder might more
easily be crippled and captured by q
spreading charge Of heavy shot than by
a single bullet. Moreover, a person
moving quickly might often be missed
by a shot from a rifle, whereas a snap.
shot from a shotgun in semidarkness
could hardly fail to find its object.
In the trenches shotguns could be
used with success. A shotgun loaded
with about forty-eight grains Of pow
der and one and a half ounces of big
shot, with about twenty-five pellets,
would be of much more value than the
rifle, as during a night attack, either
for attack or defense In semidarkness,
a single charge would hardly fail to in
f1ict serious wounds ON one or more of
the enemy.-Exchange.

Outside the House,

How many beautiful homes on which
money has been spent lavishly to make
them complete are marred by some de-
feet in the landscape work. A few
hours motor trip through the suburbs
Of almost any city in the country will
reveal many such cases. The most fire.
quent jar the trained eye receives is
from the poorly laid out walks and
driveways in which badly arranged
curves are used or walks made to curve
around an oval grass plot placed in the
center for no other reason than to
make pedestrians take time to circle
about that particular grass plot Post
men, messenger boys and others take
a short cut, and soon a path In the
proper direction is worn across the sod
When a curve is used in a walk or
driveway there should be q reason for
1t. If there is no other reason plant
one; place a tree or two or shrubs in a
position so the curve will seem neces-
sary. People then will keep on the
walk, and the plan will seem reason
able.-New York Sun.

What Are You WORTH

Have you any idea? Did you ever
capitalize your wages and figure II
out? This Is the way to ascertain how
much your labor Is really worth.
For instance, a man who has saved
$4,000 and invested 1t at per cent 70.
ceives an annual income or. $1,000 q
year, or about $50 week.
The clerk In the office or the work
man In the factory who gets $40 q
week therefore receives the income at
8 per cent on an investment Of 500 900.
He Is a $4,000 man-that Is. he Is
getting as much week by week as the
man with $4,000 who depends solely
upon the income from his investments
and who does not work for a living.
The man who earns $40 week has
about the same income as the investor
with $4,000 put out at interest at 8
per cent.
So labor Is capital. It has a market
value. 1t can be called a commodity
because it can be sold by its owner the
same as any other possession he may
have.-John A. Sleicher in Leslie's.

We. the People.

Estimating the worlds population as
1,600,OO0,000, the whole human race at
present living could stand comfortably
shoulder to shoulder in an area Of 500
square miles.
Taking the number Of generations in
the past 5000 years as 200, the room
taken up by them all on the above

because it sterilizes is it so excellent,
but because it has the effect Of soften

however, who know how long a bat
