Construction Blocked.

Construction Blocked.
 Owing to the fact the Connecticut and Rhode Island company, which is building the Bristol -Plainville high way, is unable to get cement enough to carry on the work of laying the base of the new road. Part of the workmen have been temporarily sus- pended and construction partially stopped. A few employees are still at work laying the top dressing and up to date have reached Washington street.
 Subscriptions Coming In.
 That the drive being made by local people to make the second Liberty Loan a success will augur we'll for the patriotism of the town is evil denced by the fact that during the last three days $6,300 in subscrip~ tions have been turned in. Most of the subscriptions so far have been lndi- vidual ones. The results they will obtain in the factories and clubs and organizations will probably boom the subscription list.
 A. A. Macleod, treasurer of the Plainville Trust company stated this morning that as yet Plainville's quota is unknown. He further added that he expected to hear from the Federal authorities in Boston within the next two days when the designated allot- ment would be announced.
 Big Time Tonight.
 All preparations have been made to make the celebration in honor of Plainvilles last offering in the first draft a success. Following the feed and smoker which will be held in the Grange hall the men will attend the dance in the town hall given in their honor. No admittance will be charged for dancing and the townspeorle are cordially invited to attend.

which they have containers and to dry
and keep in paper any additional sur
plus suitable for such preservation.
Canning calls for no special skill and
for little equipment beyond a wash
boiler and jars. Fresh products, clean
illness and heat are the chief require
ments, as even sugar is not essential
for canning fruits under modern pro-
cedure. Fruits and vegetables, more
over, can be dried efficiently in the sun,
over range or gas stove, or before an
electric fan. Homemade shallow trays
of wood or heavy wire screen are the
chief equipment required. Drying is a
tfme-tried home industry; conservation
of food by drying is largely a matter Of
restoring to the home great-grand-
mothers method of seeing that her fam
lily had good food in winter as a relief
from a monotonous diet of root vege-
tables. Canning and drying can be prac-
ticed as effectively in a city house or
apartment as on a farm or in subur-
ban dwelling.
Canning, of course, already is prof

aid the home conservation movement
the department of agriculture has issued
a new farmers bulletin on home canning
and another on home drying of fruits
and vegetables. These free pamphlets
should be read and followed in every
household which wishes to translate pa
triotic impulse into concrete service"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1917-07-26

Every housewife this year should re-
store to her home the often overlooked
home industries of canning, preserving,
picking and drying of perishable fruits
or vegetables said David f. Houston,
Secretary of Agriculture, today. The
large number of new backyard gardens
which have been planted this year short
of beans, peas carrots, beets, sweet corn
and tomatoes. The regular supplies also
will reach the market and, as happens
each summer, the local supply at times
viii exceed immediate consumptive ca
pacity. Not to conserve much of this
surplusage of valuable food would be
sinful waste.
THE present food and labor situations
are such that no household is justified
in looking to others to release it wholly
from individual responsibility and con-
structive action in saving and conserv-
ing food. All any home should expect
of others is to supply those foods which
cannot be produced effectively by its
own members. The railroads will be bur-
dened with the transportation of staple
foods and civil and military necessaries
from localities of production and manu-
facture to districts incapable OF supply
ing their own needs. 1t follows that all
locally produced foods, conserved by
home methods, lessen the winter pres
sure on transportation agencies and also
release similar products of factories for
other purposes

While the press of the country is urg-
ing an increase of production along all
lines of farm products, what is it doing
to make this increase remunerative to
the producer? Everything the farmer buys
is 100 per cent higher than a couple of
years ago, and prices they receive for
what they have to sell along many lines
are no higher or but little than they were
before the war began.
Take hen feed, for instance. A bag of
100 pounds that two years ago cost $780,
sells today for 81. Thus it will be seen
that it costs twice as much to raise a
fryer. Does the farmer get twice as much
as he did during the former period?
Hardly! Still, the city consumer makes

Read these riddles aloud to the family,
Withholding the answers, and see how
many can answered them:
What bird is low spirited? The blue
bird.
Why is the schoolmaster like the letter
c.? He forms lasses into classes.
Why is bread like the sun? Because 1t
rises from the yeast.
What is that which is sometimes with
a head, without head, with a tail, and
without tail? A wig.
What is more wonderful than a horse
that can count? A spelling bee.
Why are tallest people the LATEST?
Because they are always longer in bed

PRODUCER TO CONSUMER

I want to urge the good housewives
of the towns and cities to deal direct
by parcel post in the buying of eggs
and butter. You will get a cheaper price
and the farmer and his wife will get
more out of their sales. 1t is true, coun-
try folks ship poor stuff to their city
cousins occasionally. When they do re-
fuse to pay for it. Make the producer
send you well-worked butter, done up In
oil paper and in a pasteboard carton
Make them send you guaranteed eggs.
They can do both If they will. And when
you receive your country shipment, mail
out your check or money order by next
mail. Egg and butter money to the coun-
try woman is like Christmas candy to
the child of the hills-a pleasure and
happy event All farmers who subscribe

One of my neighbors has farm home
which is well supplied with labor saver
and methods Of tightening the homework.
This home is practically new, being built
a few years ago and is modern through
out.
A hot water system il installed and the
housewife said that she believed this was
come to the women folks. She would
give UP any other convenience in prefer

and a high air pressure tank with en-

This farmer located his pump house and
engine room with tank a few rods from
the house and an underground passage
was built to connect with the basement
of the house. This is most convenient and
appreciated in cold, stormy weather espe-
cially. The upper part of this building
is used for storing ice for summer use.
The plan of this house has never been
well arranged in regard to saving steps
for the mother, who, in this case is a.
very busy woman, with five small chill
dren.
A CONVENIENT KITCHEN

dimensions, as the pantry is built in on
one side, perhaps 10x12 feet The kitchen
range and cabinet are placed almost OPP
posite each other and it requires but a
step to reach the sink. where hot and
cold water is at her disposal. The room
is well lighted and faces south and west.
A small table and rocker are given room
and a medium high stoll just the height
for sitting at table to prepare vegetables,
fruit, etc, or for ironing.
The pantry is located directly between
the dining room and kitchen, it is small,
but long shelves on both sides provide
plenty of room for dishes, south win
