taples, which are usually canned, may
be preserved satisfactorily By drying.
Sun drying Of some products has been
common, but the uncertainty Of the
weather makes this method undesirable.
A cloudy day in a series Of drying days
may cause the products to sour. How
ever, this difficulty is easily overcome
BY the use Of a simple drying appara'
US, whereby the drying may be done
quickly and easily by artificial heat.
A small fruit and vegetable dryer
may be used on the top Of a stove or
in combination with furnace out Of
doors. A small indoor dryer may be
purchased for from FIVE 10 fifteen dollars,
However it is not necessary TO go to
this expense, for one may be made at
home that will do the work just as we'll
and cost much less. A very effective
apparatus can be constructed by max
ing a series Of trays about two inches
deep and as large as desired with sides
OF wood and bottoms Of screen wire.
They should fit tightly one upon the
other. To prevent over heating, the
trays should be raised above the fame
or heated surface upon which they reIt
by a wooden box, 10 inches deep,
from which the top and bottom have
been removed. The box should be
raised four inches by placing brick
under each corner. This permits
free circulation Of hot air up through
the trays and thus carries the moisture
away from the products. A simple ap
paratus which will combine a good
drying temperature with a good system
Of ventilation vii! dry fruits and yege'
tables in a satisfactory manner.

Save tha Garden Seeds

This year vegetable seeds are scarce

Most seeds which are aol planted " Il
keep over at least one or more seasons.
The following sorts usually retain their
vitality but a single yea; onions, par
snips, parsley, celery aud carrots.
Most other varieties will keep at least
ts Vslrs. Peas, beans, sweet d)rn,
cucum5ers, melons and the gourd
family generally retain their vitality five
years or even more
Seeds which are to be held over for
another years planting should be kept
dry and should be protected from mice
and weeyiI, frequently it is custom
arY TO place them in a tight jar, or other
air tight recepticle. Seeds kept in
this way are likely 10 mold. Moisture
slowly given of! from the seeds cannot
avaporate. A better way is 10 retain
the seeds in their packages, put these
IN a box covered on top with wire mos
quito netting. The mosquito netting
will keep out mice but will allow the
seeds to dry and air out. They should
be kept in dry place.
Weeyls and other insects may be
kept out Of seeds by the use Of carbon
olsulphlde. Seeds should be treated
once as soon as the pl ming season is

New Gun Shoots Both Ways.
An army officer has invented a gun
which shoots both ways at the same
time. The purpose Of this arrange
mcnt Is not to fight the enemy In the
front and the rear at once, but to ellml-
nate the rccoil, and thus to save the
time required In bringing the gun back
into position for second shot. The
force excrted by the exploding powder
In any gun Is equal In both directions,
hence the recOil, or "klck." By having
n barrel open in both directions, by
placing the charge Of powder In the
middle Of the gun and by having pro-
jeCtile Of equal weight on each side
Of the powder charge, the gun itself
is not moved by the explosion. The
projectile fired to the front Is an ordi'
nary explosive shell. The counterbal'
ancing Is a charge Of fine shot Of equal
weight. The shot loses It's velocity
and falls harmlessly to the ground
within d few feet Of the gun.

ASSAULT. A BOARD.

George Delk, a ranchman from Som
ia Rita. was on Monday held under
$4,000 bond for preliminary hearing
on the charge of a%ssaulting a mem
Der of the draft board in discharge
of his duty.
According to the story of the in
cident. as told by witnesses, Delk had
been drafted and claimed exemption.
The claim was disallowed by the To-
cal board and the man was certified
for service. The case was appealed
to the district board where, it is IN
derstood, it is still pending.
Monday at noon Delk, in a local
garage, met E. B. Venable, chair
man of the county exemption board,
and upbraided him for rejecting the
exemption claim. When Venable re-
fused to discuss the matter, Delk, &C
cording to the witnesses, struck him
several times, knocking him to the
floor.
This is the first case of trouble
due to the enforcement of the draft
law in Grant county. Delk is about
% years of age and is quite well
known.

LOCAL AGENT IN
FREIGHT MOVING FETE

J. A. Skipper, local agent of the
Southern Pacific company, has been
notified by w. r. Scott, vice presi-
dent and general manager, that, as a
result Of the car loading competition
in which he and other agents of that
company are participating, 6,402 cars
were saved during the month of July,
1917, as compared with loading in
July of last year.
This remarkable showing has been
attained by the united efforts of all
the companys employees concerned and
contributed to by the cooperation
generally of those shippers which the
Southern Pacific company serves
Similar improvement on other rail-
roads have reduced the national car
shortage from over $4,000 in May to
less than $4,000 cars in August. From
this it follows that the saving of
cars locally by the Southern Pacific
and its shippers contributed materi-
ally to alternating the national car
shortage situation, thus rendering a
patriotic service to the country and
making for the successful prosecution
Of the war.

EDITORIAL
FOR BOYS IN THE SERVICE

Quite literally so far the readers of
the Liberal have brought in contribu-
tions for "Our Boys in France To-
bacco Fund" ANY amounts will be
received by the Liberal no matter how
small and forwarded to the general
offices of the fund in New York city.
Some of Americas soldiers and
sailors already are in France, train
ing for var AS soon as they are in
trim they'll go into the trenches, in
the slippery mud and the sweltering
heat, to fight for democracy. Many
of them will die there; many will
be carried back wounded. All of
them will undergo hardships beyond
imagination.
The Red Cross is taking care of
the wounded, kind hands furnish our
men with socks and shirts. The I'm
tied States government clothes and
feeds them.
But there has been no means of fur
nishing them with tobacco. Unless
their friends at home help them, the
soldiers must sit in the trenches with
empty pipes. longing for a puff or
two that would bring untold comforts
The Liberal has taken up the work
to help provide tobacco for the fight
ing men. We are going to do "our
bit" to fill up the tobacco boxes. We
are ready to receive contributions for
Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund"
for which we have been appointed Of
ficial collector in this city.
We want dollars, tens and hun
dreds of dollars for this work. "Our
Boys in France Tobacco Fund" is a
patriotic organization. All the sup
plies and labor are contributed, so
that every cent you give goes for to-
bacco which is bought practically at
cost. Every dollars pays for a bundle
Of tobacco that would cost $1.80 if
bought from a retail dealer.
The tobacco you buy for the SOL
diers and sailors will be divided into
packages costing the fund twenty
five cents each, with a retail value of
forty-five cents-enough tobacco to
supply a soldier for a week. In each
package that you pay for is inserted
a postcard, addressed to you.
In accepting the tobacco, the fight
ing man agrees to write on the card
a message of thanks, which he will
mail to you. If he keeps his promise
you get your receipt from an Ameri-
can soldier in France.
The Americans in France need to-
bacco. They a buy French brands
it they have the money and are in
cities, but at the front tobacco is a
scarce article, even the French kind.
The secretary of war and the Sec
rotary of the navy have Endorsed this
plan. Army officers greet it enthus-
iastically and the soldiers are wild
about it.
There's nothing like a good old
pipe to make a soldier forget his
troubles. Imagine a bunch of fellows
you know, sitting in a trench at
night, waiting, whispering, wonder
ing what is going to happen next,
longing for a smoke to soothe them.
And all they can do-unless you help
is to sit there disconsolately and
finger their empty pipes or draw in
vain on a briar that had served them
so well in days gone by.
Send in your money. Fill those
pipes. The American soldiers in
France are asking for a smoke. Will
you pass them by? If you want to
edo your bit" you can make use of
the coupon you will find printed here.
