NEW PRESIDENT.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 10.-"We
have had meetings of the National Ed
Hcational Association that were more
largely attended than the present one,
said President Robert Alley, just be-
fore the opening session today the

believe we never have had more i'm
portant, nor one honored by a more
distinguished attendance" A business
meeting of the national council of ed
ucation was the first important event
of the day, followed by the annual
meeting of the board of directors.
The two names uppermost today in
the gossip concerning the presidency
were those of Josephine Corliss Pres
ton and Mary c. Bradford, respectively
superintendent of public instruction
for the states of Washington and Col
orado. Proponderance of opinion was
that a woman would be elected presi-
dent this year.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 10-New
conditions which the publisher has
been compelled to meet because of the
war will form one of the chief topics
of discussion at the four-day copven-
ton of the National Editorial associa-
ton in session here Several hundred
delegates, most of whom are editors Of
weekly or small daily newspapers, will
represent various sections of the Unit
ed States at the meeting.
Plans for an excursion into western
Canada for the purpose of effecting
closer cooperation with Canadian pub
fishers have been abandoned in con-
sideration of the joint policy of the gov
eminent and railroads in discouraging
unnecessary demands on railroad
equipment.
The question of solidifying the press
and other forces in a campaign for a
lasting world-peace after the conclus-
ion of the war will be taken up at the
convention.
Men will be selected to attend Il
worldwide gathering of newspapermen
who will in turn impress upon their
brethren throughout the world the
obligations of civilization in bringing
about the triumph of democracy" de-
clared H. c. Hotaling, vice president, in
announcing the proposal.
Increased cost of publishing the
country newspaper will be discussed
from all angles, and an effort will be
made to place the convention on record
as opposed to small papers giving free
political advertising.

Fl. Tomlinson, Morristown, N. j., will
be followed by an address by Walter
Williams, dean of the school of jour
nalism, University of Missouri.

The first of the ladies of Americas
who have taken the Red Cross course
in surgical dressings to complete full
package to be sent to headquarters is
Mrs. John Council. These articles
which Mrs. Council has made, she has
also wrapped and has them all ready
to send away.
Quite a number of Americas womel
have finished this course, and if eacI
one of these would make just one pack
age, the Americas chapter would soo1
have a box ready to send. The time
of the instructors is completely taken
UP with classes, and it is expected OF
those who do not instruct that they
will give a few hours each week to
the work room of the Red Cross head
quarters putting into practical applica-
ton the things they have learned;
otherwise their course of instruction
is of no value.
The work room is open all of the
time and those who have finished the
course are asked to come and make
articles to be sent away.

EVAPORATING VEGETABLES
AND FRTITS AT HOME,

Mrs. j. W. Ha!aes of the Americas
Lighting Company, takes pleasure IN
giving to the women of Americas the
following directions for eyaporating
vegetables and fruits. This method is
being most successfully used. She
will be glad to furnish further infor-
nation to any one in the city.
All kinds of fruit and some of the
less succulent vegetables may be dried,
o" evaporated at home.
A very fine evaporation may be made
of your own gas stove oven. Have
heavy wire cut the sixe of the racks in
your gas stove oven, eight Or nine OF
these wire racks may be placed In
the oven at once Place the fruit on
these racks and light the oven burner,
leaving it turned very, very low. This
will insure a regular heat which will
eyaporate the fruit perfectly in three
or four hours, with none OF the
trouble of the old method of sunday
ing, and no flies.
The dried products should be set
aside and turned several times for two
or three hours, taking care to keep OFF
flies which lay eggs, causing worms
in the fruit or vegetables Store in a
paper bag tied up tightly and coat the
bag with paraf1ne. This is done by
painting the bag with warm paraffine,
using a small brush.
Corn should be dipped into BOILING
water for two or three minutes on
the cob and then cut off and eyaporat-
ed. Butter beans, okra, squash, peas,
(English) berries and figs may be
avaporated successfully

business of the convention and the fol-
lowing two days will be devoted to
visiting state institutions and an ex-
cursion up the Minnesota river. Hot
Springs, Ark, and Miami, Fla, already

next annual meeting. The governor Of
Arkansas and the mayors Of Little
