DUST MOUND SAVED.
But the Automobile and its
Occupants sent into the
Canal.

On Wednesday afternoon Mrs
Arthur HOllerman was out with
her two interesting children for an
auto ride. AS she was steering
her way out iberia street, at a
very moderate speed, a child ran
into the street just ahead of the
auto to carry out an impromptu
inspiration apparently-the build
ing of a dust mound for the car to
knock down. Intent upon this
task, with his back towards the
approaching car, he was Oblivlons
of his precarlous position and the
impending danger of bodily harm
to himself In order TO prevent
running over the child the car was
steered desperately close to the
canal which runs along the side of
the street, and more intent upon
avoiding the running over of the
child, than the safety of her own
course, she lost control of the ma
chine before she was aware of it,
and it went into the canal. Mrs.
Hollerman's first thought was
then tor her own dear ones as the
auto plunged into the canal.
Clasping her children in her arms
she awaited an inevitable fate.
She was much frightened and her
little sou, Sidney, was seized with
panic. Otherwise the occupants
Of the car escaped harm.
The car proved the wisdom of
it's builders and its ability TO with
stand severe shocks. None of The
vital parts of the machine devel
oped any apparent weakness un
der the strain, but some of the
connecting rods of the steering
mechanism were broken, due, pos
sibly, to dragging over the edge
Of the ditch as the car plunged.
The damaged auto was tax en- to J.
7. Lejeune's repair shop for the
needed service.
Had that Car avoided the canal
the chances are ten TO one that the
playful builder of dust mounds
would have proved a very ineffec
tual bumper, and the probabilities
are that his parents would not
have been averscd to the Occu
pants Of the auto pay ing tor all
injuries inflicted. Now that the
mound builder was saved from the
logical conse qnences of his own
act, would It be unreasonable for
his parents 10 bear the expense
consequent to saving the mound
builder?
Children should not be allowed
by their guardians to build dust
mounds in the streets or highways,
TO bo knocked down by passing
automobiles. The saving Of the
dust mound and it's builder, as in
this instance, is distressing and
expensive.

To DRY SNAP BEANS-The fol
lowing recipe il given us by a
good housewife who has practiced
tia humber of years with perfect
success. Gather the beans at the
stage they are gathered for cook
ing fresh, string and snap them in
pieces an inch or two in length,
put in the sun the same as other
fruits or vegetables, when thor.
oughly dry, put away in cool dry
place. When intended for cook
ing, wash first III clear water and
soak overnight, cook in the water
in which they were soaked. CAS-
good as fresh,' she says.
We are told it will be impossl-
ole to obtain tin cans because Of
the scarcity of tin: glass jars are
still to be bad, aud so far the price
is not greatly advanced. What
may be the case when the canning
season is really "on'' and the de-
mand increases is yet to be seen
We viii! feel greatly obliged to
readers of Farm and Ranch for
other recipes for drying fruits and
vegetables or for any information
upon the subject. Doubtless
among the many thousand readers
there are helpful recipes and sug-
gestions that will be gladly receiv
ed al this time Eek.

ORDINARY PALMETTO
TO CUT BROOM'S COST
State Senator Domengeaux
Finds 1t Excellent for
Use III Manufacture.

Lafayette, La, May % State
Senator j. X DnmeDgeaux who
operates broom factory here, has
lust made discovery that BIDS
fair 10 revolutionize the trade by
providing d cheap and abundant
substitute for costly broom straw.
The almost pr0hlbitive prices OF
straw compelled Senator Domen
geaux to cast about for other ma
terial of manufacture and he
found the ordinary Louisiana pal
metto affording an excellent SUP
stitute for filing especially. The
palmetto is submitted to process
OF curing which tong hens the hber
and gives it q pretty pea green
color aud insures durability
This curing process is simple and
inexpensive. consisting in cutting
the plant, drying it in the shade
and airing for ten or fifteen days
The leaves are then shredded by
machinery and the fiber is ready
for use. In this way, Senator DO
mengeaux claims, q good broom
may be made for half the price of
the regular broom straw article,
and every hi. as serviceable and
durable.
The new broom is being intro
duced to the trade and Senator
Donengeaux is perfectly willing
to explain all details Of manufac
ture to any one interested, ~ he
considers this nothing more than
his duty in these times Of trouble
and stress. The supply OF mate
rial is practically lnexhauetlble in
the Iowlands all over the state and
can be obtained at small expense
