upon the martial psalm as one
would look on sounding brass,
and Mary's. famous little lamb

It's true our navy grew apace;
through many years We built it
up: but we were planning for a
race with England for a silver
cup. We had no purpose to
eclipse the British might, despite

building ships was just to boost

REPORTS ON CANNING WORK.

Reports of the community canning
enterprise at the Thomson School. made
by Mrs. Charles W. Wetmore, president
of the Capital Garden Club. show that
SIS pints of vegetables and fruits were
canned during the fifth week of work
there, and that i14 pints and SO glasses
were put up last week. the sixth the
center has been open.
August IS was a red letter day. To-
matoes, peaches. corn, lima beans,
okra, carrots. beans, blackberry jelly.
beets and plums were conserved
for winter use. and a total of 131 pints
was dried and canned.
The new dryer is being used extern
sively Corn can be dried with it in
about five hours.
Mrs wetmore comments upon the
way one housekeeper is complying
with Herbert C. Hoover's request to
conserve foodstuffs. She lives in a
small apartment and it would be i'm
possible to find a place to keep enough
canned vegetables for winter use, so she
is drying them. BY using an electric fan
for twenty-four hours one peck of
string beans and three punches of beets
were dried, at cost for current of II
cents. This process is better adapted
to a small kitchen, for in canning
kitchen is heated and in drying it is
cooled
