FOOD ADMINISTRATION
WANTS COUNTY AGENT
County Commissioners Appropriate
$1,000 Provided 200 Farmers
Form Farm Bureau

An attempt is being made to again
have a county agent for Stevens
county and meeting for that pur-
pose was held at the Court House
yesterday. K. A. kirkpatrick from
the University Farm, st. Paul, was
present and explained why the coun-
ty should have a county agent and
told some of the things that coun-
ty agent can do to assist the farm
ers.
He explained that there is no rea-
son why Stevens county should not
be up with the other counties of the
state in this county agent matter.
These agents are doing a great work
in assisting the farmers in their
many propositions. The county agent
does not come in to tell the farmer
how to farm and what to plant, but
merely to make suggestions and help
the farmer in different lines of work.
such as in getting good seed, intro
ducing good stock, help put down
hog cholera, assist with the drain
age proposition, inform the farmer
where to buy or sell good seed, and
many other things.
At the meeting of yesterday Mr..
Kirkpatrick explained that the Fed
eral Government was ready to ap-
propriate $500 a year for two
years, and providing the farmers
would form a County Farm Bureau
Association with not less than 200
members. The county board voted
to do their share in the way of the
$1,000 and it is now up to the farm
ers to get the Association started
and the members signed up. Each
member must agree to pay $3.50 a
year for two years and the club must
be made up of at least so per cent
farmers.
A temporary organization was
formed yesterday to handle the cam
paign among the farmers and C. F.
Kirk was made chairman and T. H.
Mcguire secretary. Committeeman
are to be appointed by each commits
siOner, two for each district, and
these men will be selected within
the next day or two. These men will
handle the campaign among the
farmers and then a meeting will be
called and permanent organization
formed.
1t is hoped that the farmers will
fall in line in this work and become
members of the Stevens County
Farm Bureau Association when they
are approached. The putting in OF
county agent Is strictly in the in
terests of the farmer and is done
with the welfare of the farmer in
mind. Every farmer will be more
than anxious to have the PROPOSE
tion put through as soon as he real
ICES what it means to him and the
good he is going to get and the
benefits he is going to receive.

Literary Club

Monday afternoon, Nov. 10, the
Literary Club met at the home of
Mrs. H. o. Eames. The President,
Mrs. Miller occupied the chair as
usual. The program for the day was
in charge of Mrs. Robert Adams as
leader. Currents events occupied
the first half hour. Mrs. S. Stewart
read several letters from college
girls in Vassar college, showing
their appreciation of help and SYM
pathy sent them. Mrs. Adams dis
cussed new phases of the conserva-
tion question and read an article on
Hawaiian music as introduced into
this country by the late queen of the
Sandwich Islands. The paper for the
day was entitled Uniformity in
Dress" Mrs. Burpee discussed the
subject in a most witty and enjoy
able manner She claimed that uni
formity in dress for women was not
feasible, however, desirable for a
few reasons, yet various character
istics of women as size, age, habita-
ton, pecuniary circumstances, dis
position and tastes prevented it. The
paper was much appreciated. Mrs.
Miller read humorous short story
entitled "a Strike in the Mines" by
Miss Mitchell.
The club voted to use the money
receipts this year in Relief work for
the Red Cross Society-to this end
they dispensed with the usual print
ed program and are using tpye writ
ten ones instead.
The Red Cross Christmas seals
we're presentation sale, the club de-
string to help reach the required
sale of 1000, in order to obtain the

The club adjourned early to at
tend the lecture on Conservation at

Increase in. tuberculosis in State

All war measures are discussed in
the terms Of dollars and cents. Min
nesota is now conducting a campaign
which will enable it to solve its war
tuberculosis problem.
Reports from various counties
show that to 20 per cent of the
Minnesota men called for army serv-
ice have been rejected because Of
tuberculosis. This means that there
are over 10000 cases in the state.
The enormous increase of the num-
ber of known cases of tuberculosis in
this state call for prompt and eff
cient action. We must proceed at
once against this infection if we are
to escape the fate of France with it's
half million war caused tuberculosis
cases. Money is needed for the cam
paign in this county; the means for
obtaining is comes through the sale
of Red Cross seals at 1c each.

FIND HOME CANNED
VEGETABLES SPOILED
Morris Ladies Have Unhappy Expert.
ences, but Government Warns
Against Unjustifed Fear

Several Morris ladies who canned
vegetables by the cold pack method
last summer have found that the veg
etables have spoiled. In one case the
vegetables we're eaten and produced
sickness in the family that could be
traced to no other source, and in an
other case the vegetables appeared
so badly spoiled as not to be edible.
From this it would appear that a
widespread fear of vegetables canned
by the cold-pack method has be-
come prevalent, and the report has
been spread that such vegetables are
poisonous. At the same time the
government is sending out a state
ment denying that cold-pack foods
are poisonous.
In the face of the fact that some
people have found that the vegeta-
bles actually we're spoiled, and the
government warning that foods pro-
perly canned by the cold-pack meth
warn against too hasty judgement or
the wholesale condemnation of home
canned vegetables.
The government statement is as
| follows:-
| DGuyluS dSSSILlOuS WulCu nave
been taken from a medical journal
and circulated widely, DR.. H. L.
Lang, in the government service,
says:
"There is no danger that the type
of food poisoning known as 'BOtul-
ism will result from eating fruits or
vegetables which have been canned
by any of the methods recommended
by the United States department OF
agriculture, providing that such
directions have been followed care
fully and that no canned goods are
eaten which show any signs of spoil
age. In case of doubt as to whether
the contents of particular can have
spoiled, the safest plan is to throw il
away, although all the danger from
botulism may be avoided by boiling
the contents of the can for a few
minutes, since the bacillus bOtulinus
and the toxin or poison which it pro
duces are killed by such treatment
No canned goods of any kind which
shows visible signs of spoilage should
ever be eaten.
In the cold-pack method of can
ming, approved by the department o.
agriculture, only fresh vegetable!
are recommended for canning, anC
sterilization is accomplished by thu
following processes: Cleaning
blanching, cold dipping, packing il
clean and hot jars, adding boiling
water, sealing Immediately, and thel
sterilizing the sealed jars at min
imum temperature of PIP degree
Fahrenheit for from one to fou
hours, according to the character o
the material. Since the spors of tn
; bacillus botulinus are killed by heat
ing for one hour at 175 degrees Fab
t renheit, there is no reason to believ
that the organism will survive suc1
: treatment"
The fact is, as DR.. Lang says else
where, there are fewer cases o
poisoning from bacillus botulinu
than from any other form of foo
poisoning. The chances of infection
from it are not so great even as thos
.. of getting lockjaw from a pin

Green Book" Shows Up
Chicago Police Graft

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 9.-The inner
most workings of an alleged police
graft system are. in the belief of States
Attorney Maclay Hoyne, revealed in a,
little green book" taken from Police
Lieutenant Augustus White, whose ar
rest with his companions was the pre-

of Police G. G. Healey at the states

announced to-day. He declined to re-
veal names.
The list of the alleged shady hotels.
gam bling houses and resorts, together
with cryptic notations on the pages of

under headings hotels" saloons"
gambling, chiefs list" "can be
raided," cant be raided," transient
houses" and 'disorderly houses"
In front of addresses were figures,

tions were held by the states attorney

RINGTOWN GIVEN
ITS WATER PLANT.
Decision Says That Local Com
pany Has Failed TO Meet
the Requirements

The Public Service Commission in an
opinion filed by Commissioner James
Alcorn, has granted the borough of
Ringtown. Schuylkill county, certih-
cate of public convenience to construct
and operate it's own water plant over
the protest of the Ringtown Spring
Water Supply Company, which is de-
clared in the course or the opinion to
appear to be "a private and close cor
poration" mainly supplying the green
houses of its residents and not to be
furnishing an adequate supply to the
town.
Approval of this application will not
produce necessary competition between
the borough and the protestant" says
the opinion "as the protestant
failed to provide itself with adequate
Facilities to supply water to the in
habitants of the borough for domestic
purposes of fire protection and ac-
cording to the testimony could not do
so without entirely new facilities. This
opinion is not in conflict with the rul-
ings of this commission in the applica-
tion of the borough of Bath or that
or the borough of Benson"
