OFFICIAL DIRECTIONS FOR
HOME CANNING FREE.

Every natriotic American house
hold will can vegetables and fruits
this year. Home canning means
saving the food we need to win the
war. 1t means keeping down the
cost of living by buying foods when
they, are cheap to eat when they
are dear.
Home canning is good citizenship
and good business. The United
States government asks every
American home to can summer
vegetables and fruits.
The department of agriculture
has published a 40-page booklet
of instructions for home Gamers,
describing it's new quick home
canning process. The State Jour
nal will send you a copy of this
booklet free. 1t tells exactly how
to can all kinds of vegetables,
fruits and meats.
You need not have any previous
experience, you only need the sim
pie utensils of your own kitchen to
can food successfully by the one
period cold pack process.
To get your free copy of this
booklet, send your name and adj
dress with a 2-cent stamp to the
Topeka State Journal information
bureau, Washington, d. c. Ask
for the canning book.

China IN CHAOS
President Lii Didn't Resign and
Refuses to Fight.
Japan Will Keep Hands OF
South Ready to Secede.
BY RALPH HI. TURNER.

Toxic. July 6.-Endless chaos in
China seems to lie ahead.
Dispatches today revealed the
makeshift monarchy tottering on its
throne President Lii Huan Yung of
the former republican regime has
escaped his pursuers. The southern
provinces are planning secession from
any Manchu ruler. An armed clash
is impending between Peking and Tien
Tsin between the two factions in the
monarchiSt ranks.
The monarchists have so far failed
to force President Lii Huan Yung's
resignation, altho the former eXecu-
tive has so far failed to show any
signs of a fight. General Chang Hsun,
who is attempting dictatorship of
China thru the thin disguise of re-
storation of the monarchy, is issuing
one proclamation after another.
His latest act has been to create
President Lii Huan Yung, a prince.
His manifesto declares:
THE president has been guilty of
misconduct of affairs of state; thus
the militariStS' opposition; so he re-
quested us to reign over the nation
and rescue the people from their
miseries. The president awaits pun
ishment, altho he is not to blame.
We appreciate his services and he will
continue to serve us and receive i'm
perial grace"
Is North Against South.
The northern militarists and a ma
jority of the older officials in China
welcome the restoration of the mon
archy, according to adViceS here
Many republicans-liKe DR.. Sun Vat
Sen, for inStance-prefer it, being
dubious as to the success of a repub-
lie at this tines 1t is in the southern
section of China, however, that the
greatest opposition to the monarchy
is apparent, altho in a military sense
this section is vastly inferior to the
north.
Americans in Japan deplore the re-
storation and their predictions of an
uprising and vast internal dissension
appear likely to be borne out.
There has been a certain amount
of opposition manifested in the north
of China, but mainly by military chiefs
angered because they We're not con-
suited on the coup by which the re-
public was overturned.
Japan Will firmly maintain her neu-
trality in the present situation and
officials believe other nations will do
likewise.
