This 10 Ideal
Weather to Sun
Dry Vegetables

Ideal weather has arrived for sum
drying vegetables for winter use. Spe-
cial drying experiments nave been
completed at Iowa State College which
give the best procedure for drying
peas, beans. cabbage. celery, parsley,
and spinach.
Peas-Select only young tender peas.
Shell and blanch by immersIng In boil
ing water for Ave minutes, then dip in
cold water for twenty seconds. Drain
Off surplus moisture and spread in thin
layers on trays in SUM-. Place where
there will be good air circulation.
Trays with wire screening in the bot
tom best allow for this. These should
be raised from the ground. 1t is not
advisable to put them out except On 9
bright day. Drying should ocgin im-
mediately after the cold dip other
wise the peas may spoil. Under favor
able conditions it will require two days
to sun dry peas. In case peas are pre-
pared and weather is not sunny they
may be dried in stove drier or by turns
ing on them the draft from an electric
fan. When dry, store in convenient
light containers such as lard pals or

for use soak in fresh water from eight
to twelve hours. Cook slowly In water
in which they were soaked.

cut in one-inch lengths. Blanch IN
boiling water three to five minutes,
then immense in cold water for thirty
seconds and spread on trays to dry IN
the sun. They will dry in about two
days. To use soak for seven hours.
Cook slowly until tender and prepare
same as fresh beans.
Cabbage-Select mature heads. re-
move outside leaves. Split head and
remove core, cut with knife and slice
with kraut cutter. Blanch In boiling
water six minutes, then dip IN colo
water thirty seconds. Remove all sur
plus water after blanching and dipping
by exposing to the wind, or holding
over the stove. Then place on traps III
hot sun. Handle and store same as
other products. The dried product may
be soaked from six to eight hours ana
prepared same an fresh cabbage or II
may be mixed with other dried vege-
tables for soups. Eight pounds OF fresh
cabbage will give one pound OF dry.
Celery-The tops and stalks from
celery that is generally cut away wneh
celery Ks prepared for the table may be
very easily dried and stored, and used
for planning soups and other dishes.
Wash and clean the product to dry.
After product Is thoroughly dry CRUSH
up and store until ready for use.
Parsley-Clean same as for immeol-
ate use. 1t takes several hours to dry
in sun drier. After drying it may ps

may be soaked in warm water ana

BOARD STARTS WORK NECES.
sARY TO COMPLETE DRAFT
FOR ARMY.
LIST OF ALL DRAWN
is BEING PREPARED
Board Does Not Wait For Official List,
But Begins Compilation From News
paper List-None Probably Will Be
Called For Examination Before Next
Week.

The machinery Of the local exemp-
ton was set in motion this forenoon to
complete the work necessary for Sc
lecting the 226 young men who will
make up Marshall countys quota in
the first draft. The work was begun
without waiting for the official list or
the numbers that is expected from
Washington at any time. But it was
the opinion of County Auditor McLe-
land that it would probably not be pos
sible to get the clerical work done so
that any of those drawn could be sum-
moned for physical examination before
next week.
Temporarily, at least. and probably
permanently, as far as is known now,
the headquarters Of the exemption
board will be in the county audi
tors office The grand jury room has
been secured for the place of making
the physical examinations, and the
east court room will be used for
waiting room for those who wait their
turns to appear before the physician.
Much Clerical Work First.
The membership of the local board is
still incomplete for Governor Harding
has not yet appointed the physician to
take DR.. Johnson's place.
However,, before the physical exam
nations can be made there is much
clerical work to be done. Clyde Morse
VIVA assisted in the clerical work al
ready done, has been appointed to nave
charge of the clerical work under the
direction of the board.
The first task undertaken today was
to prepare a list of the red ink num-
bers and the name and address OF the
man holding it, listed in the consecu-
tive order in which the numbers were
drawn.
An office list of the numbers IN the
order they were drawn Is eSpecteu
from Washington at any time, put II
had not arrived today. Taking tne
newspaper list work was begun, put
when the office list does arrive 1t Will
be compared and checked against the
list made so to insure accuracy. In tnls
wav it is expected to gain time OF a
dav or two. When this list is mace
the board will then be ready to mali
cards notifying those who are TO ap-
pear when they are to come ano DC

tions to South First Street Work.

Objections filed by twenty-three
property owners were overruled by
the council when it formally accepted
a list of streets paved late last. year

ments levied at its meeting this fore

fits, that they were illegally made and

not substantially complied with, that
the council extended the time limit last
fall, and that pavement was laid dur
ing freezing weather and was damaged
by being frozen. The directors have
ten days to file their appeal from the
decision Of the council to the district
