Proper Mason Jar Tops Are Vital.

State college canning specialists
submit the following: A prolific
source of failures in canning fruits,
meats and vegetables lies in top edges
of the mason jars. 1t appears that
mason jar tops are now being made
rough instead of smooth. Housewives
are warned to use only smooth mason
jar tops on the top sealers, and to dis
pense with top sealing lids if their
jars are rough edged Select good rub
bers, elastic, of good body, stretch
able, without losing their shape.

Send Your Read Magazines to
Soldiers

Good reading matter is one of
the most acceptable things that
can be sent to our soldiers.
Therefore, the government has
made it very easy to reach them
with this material. Simply place
a one-cent stamp on a magazine,
hand it to any postmaster or
postal employee, and tell him
that II is for the soldiers and
the government will see that it
reaches some sailor or soldier in
the service. No address or
wrapping is necessary. When
you have finished with your
worthwhile magazines send
them on to bring recreation or
instruction to the soldiers.

PLAN FOR SEED CORN NOW
# Should Be Taken from Stalks Standing
Where They Grew

The acre yield Of corn in the United
States could and should be greatly In
creased, according to the United
States Department OF Agriculture
which states that the proper selection
of seed is OF primary importance in i'm
proving the yield. The average produc-
ton for the county is Dc bushels an
acre, though yields as high as 2OO
bushels have been made by contestants
in boys corn clubs.
Seed corn should be selected from
stalks standing where they grew,
according to the corn specialists of the
department. This is necessary because
it is the means of making sure that the
seed will have the power to yield we'll,
as shown by the superiority OF the stalks
over surrounding ones that grew under
the same conditions. This sort of seed
nh erits high producing power.
1t must be understood, says the de-
partment, that like produces like, and
that an early-maturing corn yielding
abundantly on short, thick stalks is
likely to repeat these same characters
in the next generation. For example.
seed corn should be taken from stalks
without suckers; such seed may pro-
duce some stalks with suckers, but it
will invariably produce fewer suckers
than seed from sucker-bearing stalks
All seed corn should be selected by
hand, as special task, and not in
cidental to husking. The corn should
be gathered as soon as thoroughly
mature and before the first hard freeze.
Enough should be gathered for two
seasons, planting, to insure supply OF
seed, if, for example, the first planting
is drowned out, or if the next crop
should be hurt by early frost.

To Make Scarf of Fur Piece

To the Editor Of WOmdt s Page:
Dear Madam huvc piece OF curacul about
twenty-seyen inches long and eighteen inches
wide. Could you suggest how | could make "a
neckpiece out Of it? I will greatly appreciate
many suggestions read in Your wonderful
column. RUTH.
You can use the square just as il is if
you line it with black or taUpe satin, leaving
little fold of the satin all around the edge
and then fasten ribbon ties Of the same shade
on each upper side in the front. These are tied
about three inches from each side \ little
stiffening at the back of the neck gives the
piece that smart set which calls for furs to
set high on the neck
II you wish to cut the fur here Is another
way to use IL: Cut il in half, so that instead
of one piece twenty-seven inches long you
will have two pieces exactly half that long
Line both pieces and then fasten the two
upper corners of the fur together with a big
button covered with fur. one of these cor
ners sets over the other and the pieces are
fastened at right angles. This is the back
of your scarf. Tie in front as described
above, finishing off ties with fur balls.

"MA" SUNDAY

II HAVE heartrending news for you,"
wrote mother to me recently, Bertha
has run aw"v--and been married shah
never be able TO hold up my head again"
The details of Berthas affair have come
TO me from other sources than the mother.
and ] am frank to say that in this instance
my sympathies are all with the daughter.
Bertha has married, in the first place. an
honest, industrious, hard-working young
craftsman, earning salary amply able
to take care of his wife, with care. In the
second place, he is a young man against
whom there cannot be the least charge of
the so common wild oats" so often con-
nected with the young men of today. And.
in the third place, there can be no doubt
that he loves Bertha devotedly, and that
she on her part returns his Owe.
Why should they not be happy? But
certainly they would not be If IL depended
on BerthaS family She had to run away
to be married. The folks would never
have given their consent to such a we'd
ding as Bertha had often pictured to her
sell in sher drcams--of her coming down
the stairs in her white bridal gown to take
her stand in the living room by the side
OF the man TO whom she was to entrust her
lites happiness, and to whom she was to
be given by the minister whose church
she mad attended since she was n child with
hef rather and mother and sister and broth
er looking on from the hall and saying
How pretty she looks :"
so Bertha was forced to smuggle her
suitcase out of the house by the kitchen
door, and run away to the nearest town in
order to be married to the man she loved
vi course the family had to abide by the
consequences then-after IL was too late
Tor them to do otherwise
But why did they not see Bertht,'s noint
OF view! Why was II necessary for the

A READER.
Why not progressive hike? Divide your
band into three sections, having eight in d
section, just as there are four ar card
table. Each Of the groups can play dif-
tercnt games in turn, the two winners al
ways progressing, In this way the young
persons will have a chance 10 spend a
little time with virtually every one on tho
walk. Ring a little bell every ten minutes
for the progression Games within groups
can be changed as often as you please
Hera are games that can be played:
Going 10 Paris--In this one of the number
starts the game by saying "Ive been to
Paris and bought a coat" The next must
take it up and say I've been to Paris and
bought a coat and n submarine" or some
thing equally foolish. Each one of them in
turn must mention something bought in
Paris, but always mentioning FIRST and in
order all the things the other persons have
said This is a terrible tax on the memory
and you have to be on the alert to remem-
ber what the others have said. When the
bell rings the two players having the best
record progress.
Buzz-One player starts the game by
saying one, the next says two, and SO on.
until you arrive at the number seven. BUZZ
must be said instead of seven. Every time
you come to a multiple of seven; that is
fourteen, twenty-one, etc, the player whose
turn IL Is must say buzz instead Of the
number When player makes a mistake
and does not say buzz he is out of the game
There will probably not be more than two
winners in this game. They progress
Scandal-One Of the group is told to walk
out of hearing distance Of the rest While
she Is gone every one makes up a bit of
scandal about her. Then an appointed can
tain summons the player and tells the scan
dal piece by piece, You are conuette." >"
says the captain. 1t is up to the girl then TO
guess who said this about her. Those who
guess the most number Of names of scandal
mongers progress.
A few more games similar TO these will he
mailed to you in time for the Saturday
walk In addition might suggest that yoI,
stop in the middle of your hike and indulge
in an old-fashioned game of hide-and-seel,
in Wissahickon Woods.
