The Canning Season.

choly period in the life of married
men, which opens up on June l and
ends when the last string beans has
been laid to rest in a Mason jar. 1t
is one of the most trying tests of
not only obliged to furnish sugar at
10 cents pound, but in some cases
is forced to don long, crinkly apron
and hull cherries in one red burial
blent.
There ought to be some way of
telling before the marriage takes
place whether the bride is an enthus-
to buy canned raspberries at the gro
Gerry store. The time will no doubt
come when the prospective bride.
groom will lead his hearts choice up
to justice OF the peace and require
her to choose between the canned
gooseberry and himself. The case
might arise where a bride-elect
would prefer the gooseberry, but
that would prove at once that she
was not fit to be wife and mother.
During the canning season the
home is filled with plaintive odors
and there is nothing in the house to
eat except fresh currant jelly. Cur
rant jelly is all right when there, is
something to go with it, but one tires
of it faster than he does of oatmeal
or self-raising pancakes. The reason
why SO many feel poorly during the
summer and have to go away for a
rest at some trout stream is no doubt
due to being fed continuously on
new-mown currant jelly ana the
leather faced watermelon pickle.
There was a time when there was
some excuse for the canning season,
as it was cheaper to can than to buy,
but it is not so today Here and
there, all over the land, have sprung
up canning factories backed by hope
full stock companies, which furnish
canned corn for almost nothing and
throw in large part of the ear.
Then why should woman little ZIP
the kitchen and deprive her husband
of the sustenance promised him un-
derneath the wedding bell by trying
to preserve for generations yet I'M
born a collection of canned articles
that when opened will as like as not
be found covered with mould as far
down as the knees?
Men would have more respect for
the canning season if their wives
would observe it along about the
middle of January instead of picking
out some month that runs mostly to
prickly heat-Howard Ram.

Freak Actions OF the Mercer Twister.

For answerin' the call.
So. Woody dear, We need not fear,
The country's coming strong;

You can hear the dummy's gong,
You can hear the crops a-sprOutin',
You can hear the seedlings say,
Were pushing up for freedom, too,
Well do our bit today"
Your Uncle Sam says, Here l ami"

With our reapers and our muskets
We're answerin' the call!

Zimmerman Admits Plot.

Berlin, March Virtually admit.
ting the truth Of charges made in the
United States that Germany plotted
to secure the aid Of Mexico and Japan
in event of war with the United
States, Foreign Secretary Zimmer.
man justified such action on the
ground that the United States tried
to array South American republics
against Germany.
The foreign secretary's admission
was contained in statement made
in which he did not deny or confirm
authenticity of the so-ealled govern.
ment letter to contain these proposals
to the German minister in Mexico
City that he ask General Carranza TO
persuade Japan to join in the war on
the Unites States in the event Of hos
tilities.
But he asserted that such course
was thoroughly justified, not only
as precautionary measure in case the
United States was at war with Ger
many, but because Of reports which
the German government had that the
United States had made similar at
tempts TO array southern countries
against the German empire.
Il fail TO see how sucn a plot ls m
spired by unfriendliness on our part -
declared the foreign secretary.
at would nothing 5ut that we
would use means universally admit
ted by war, in case the United States
declared war"
He added, pointedly, that such a
move would be only a purely defen-
sive and precautionary measure by
Germany and that the so-called "plot'
would fall through If the United
States did not herself take the ag-
gressive.
Secretary Zimmerman based his
charge that the United States had
attempted to line up other neutrals
against Germany on statement
printed in the Argentine newspaper
La Bressa. La Bressa said that the
United States last year suggested
common action against Germany to
the South American republics. He
further quoted remarks by Edwin
Price, an American newspaper mar
to the effect that the United State,
was remaining neutral only because
she could further the interest of the
Allies by remaining neutral better
than by declaring war.
