AND BEANS

WASHINGTON, d. C.--Housekeep-
ers can easily can surplus green peas
and snap beans, which are beginning
to appear in home gardens in many
sections. The season has been unusu-
ally good for peas, and home garden
ers in many localities are reporting un-
expeCtedly heavy yields Either of
these products readily can be canned
with no other home equipment than
Jars or cans and wash boiler fitted
with a false bottom Of stats to keep
the jars from resting on the bottom.
Here are directions given by the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture to
the members of girls canning clubs in
the northern and western states: Do
not try to can peas or beans that have
been long off the vines-the freshe err
the vegetables the better the product
Shell peas. In case of beans string
and cut them as if for cooking. Put
the prepared vegetables in cheese
cloth bag or Colander and blanch in
live steam from boiling water for from
5 to 10 minutes. Next dip the blanch-
ed product quickly in cold water and
remove it almost Immediately. Pack
the product Immediately into hot
scalded glass jars or tin cans. Fill the
containers completely with boiling
water to which has been added ! level

and the State Public Safety Commis-
sion requesting the expulsion from
the Senate of Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin, was presented in the SEN
ate on Saturday by Senator Kellogg
of Minnesota, and was referred by
Vice-President Marshall to the COM

Senator Kellogg received the COM

State Commission as the result of
Senator LaFollett's recent speech at
St. Paul. Before presenting it to the
Senate he conferred with Vice-Pyesi-

WILL NOT DECLARE
EMBARGO ON FRUIT
From Florida-False I'm
preston Created by
Spectators.

Emphatic denial of any intention
on the part of government officials tc
lay an embargo on Florida perishable
fruits and vegetables is made in tele-
gram received this morning by JEFF
ferson Thomas, of the Thomas Adver-
tising Service, from the Washington
representative Of that firm.
The rumor that has spread over the
State in the past is hours to the ef-
feet that the Interstate Commerce
Commission intended to lay such en-
barge has caused no little concern
among the citrus fruits and vegeta-
bic growers. Reports from several
sections indicate that spectators
have been taking advantage of the
alleged embargo prospect in persuad-
ing growers to sell their crops at less
than the real value.
Immediately the matter was called
to the attention of Mr.. Thomas, by
some Of his clients in South Florida,
he got in touch with his Washing
ton representative, giving the latter
instructions to run the matter to the
ground and find out the actual facts.
Inc telegram received IN response to
these instructions reads as follows:

working under Mr.. Hoover, in speci-
mic charge of distribution of perisha-
bes, says there is no basis whatev-
er for embargo rumor. Edward |
Chambers, chairman transportation
committee food commissioners office.
The Palatka news and advertiser., 1917-10-05

states that the Interstate Commerce
Commission does not place embargo
and has power only in distribution of
cars. Railroads themselves declare
embargo for their own protection
when physically unable to handle traf-
fc.
"Mr. Chambers further says he
would have been the first person con-
suited by railroads, and not one road
has suggested an embargo. There
certainly is no intention on part of
officials to permit interference with
prompt handling of fruits and vege-
tables.
Express companies have been con-
gested and some of these may have
contemplated temporary embargoes
on highly perishable produce. The
vice president of the Adams Express
Company will confer today with Mr..
Fowler, of Commissioner Hoover's
office. Distribution Chief Powell is
eager to chase down source of en-
barge rumor, which he attributes to
German influence. 1t appears to be
a part of hostile propaganda, gov
ernment officials are endeavoring to
trace"
Confirms Previous Information.
The assurance that ample trans
portation will be afforded Florida

time ago by the president and sales

conferences with the government off,

very evidence of intention to cooper

TRAIL OF LONESOME
PINE" HERE NEXT

The story Of "rhe Trail of the
Lonesome Pine" Eugene Walters
great play which the Walter Naylor
players will present at the Lyceum
next week is familiar to millions Of
book readers who love the romantic
works of that vigorous American
writer of fiction, John Fox, Jr., au-
thor Of 1.-The Little Shepherd of
Kingdom Come"
In this new play, Eugene Walter
has taken the atmosphere of the Viz
ginia Mountains, as we'll as characters
Of Mr.. FoX's story, blending them to-
gether with that consummate deft-
ness of dramatic art and ability for
which he is justly famed. The play
opens with a scene in the Cumber-
land hills, showing the trail around
the lonesome pine which, standing
gaunt and rugged like a sentinel, is
visible to all in the Gap below. Hale
and Berkley, a couple Of Eastern en-
gineers, have come to the Gap to de-
velop its resources Of coal, iron and
limestone, intending to start a boom
to establish a steel manufacturing
city, for which the place offers ideal
inducements. Hale already has start
ed reform element which has become
the target for the spite Of the rough
mOuntaineer especially the feudal
clans of the Falins and Tollivers.
These people terrorized the Gan for
years and are determined to continue
their laWless proclivities in spite of
the 'furrin'' police. The advent of
the law and order is resented especial
ly by young Dave Tollver. He sees
in the invasion of the Gap the end of
all he regards as sacred,-the right to
kill an enemy-the sovereignty of the
leader of the tribe-the law of the
hills. Dave not only expects to be-
! come leader Of the Tolliver clan but
also looks forward to making his
cousin, June, his wife, one of the
the American stage.
In the meantime the Walter Nav
lor players are experiencing their
| most successful week since coming to
this city. THE Misleading LADY" has
struck popular chord of approval.
Every performance seems to go bet
ter than its predecessor. The numer-
GUS occasions for fun, and the spark
| ling humor of. the situations, afford
| ample enjoyment for all lovers of
good, clean, wholesome comedy. Miss
Virginia Perry, Ralph Murphy and
Philip Quin play the really important
roles. And all get opportunities to
create part of the fun. "Boney" es-
capped lunatic who imagines he is the
Emperor Napoleon is character
creation which is hit. Miss Perry is
seen to good advantage, and Mr.. Quin
