WILSON Balm IS
MADE CAPTAIN
CAPE COMPANY
Howard Frissell Elected First
Lieutenant, Harry Gaines
Second.
REQUIRED NUMBER OF
MEN MUSTERED IN
Training Camp Will be Estab lish-
ed At Fairgrounds in a
Week.

City Attorney Wilson C. Balm, was
elected captain of the Cape company
of the Missouri Sixth, Howard Fris-
sell, first lieutenant, and Harry w.
Gaines, second lieutenant, after the
company had been mustered in last
night by Capt. w. w. Bratton of the
Missouri National Guard.
Balm held the captaincy in the old
Cape company before the regiment
was disbanded several years ago. He
was reelected because of his military
experience. Frissell was the unani-
NOUS choice for the lieutenantcy be-
nous of his activity in the re-organi
cation of the companq. Lieutenant
Frissell was the moving spirit of the
campaign, and was greatly assisted by
Harry Gaines.
The company was recruited to peace
strength last night after Is men had
been accepted in addition to the So
men who took the oath Friday night.
Many who had offered to join the
company during the campaign were
unable to attend Fridays meeting to
be mustered in and were ordered to
report last night.
A meeting will be held Monday
night at the Courthouse in Jackson.
This was the first order issued by
Capt. Balm to his men. A number of
young men in the county have agreed
to join the company and these will be
sworn in that evening by Capt. Balm.
The training camp for the company
will be established at the Fairgrounds
in a few days. After the prelim-
mary training under the direction of
Capt Balm has been completed, an Off
Ger Of the regular army will come to
the Cape to muster the company and
| the entire regiment in Federal serv-
ice.
Senator Lane who, from now on
will be Private Lane, was the principal
speaker at the closing meeting. He
urged his comrades to do their duty
while in the regiment and make every
effort to restore the name the regi-
ment acquired during the Spanish
American war, the Fighting Sixth u
"In my mind" the speaker said
"the English language, at this time,
has not word more important than the
word Service" 1t is up to you, COM
rades, to see that this regiment will
reach the standard of service, and this
can be done if each one of the men
viii strictly obey the orders of the off,
cars and each one co-operates with
the other, and the individual with the
whole regiment"
A. NJ. Tinsley, who has also Joined
the company as a private, related the
hard work preceding the campaign
for enlistments in the company. He
related low he and Col. Warren Ma
| brey had called on General Clark and
had asked permission to recruit COM
pany in the Cape and how they worked
for this purpose despite the little en-
couragement they received from the
General, who believed it impossible to
raise company in the Cape.
The following were sworn in last
night; Lynn Nevins, Clarence P. Mey-
ers, Roy NJ. Demon, Ben Behymer,
Sylvester V. Smith, Charles F. Blatt-
ner Jr., Roy S. Nolen, Charles Joerns,
Lawrence Hit, Elmer Fulenwider,

MILK ORDINANCE
IS HELD INVALID
Judge Snider Decides Farmers
Are Not Subject to We.
hicle Tax.


tax of S. a year upon the farmers
who deliver milk in the city, was held
to be unconstitutional by Judge Sni-
der of the Common Pleas Court, when
he handed down his decision on the
appeal of D. E. Masterson from the
Police Court several months ago. The
Judges decision effects not only Mas
terson, but fourteen other farmers who
have been delivering milk in the city
for a number of years.
Masterson, together with Buford
Eaton, Marshal Engram, Robert n.
Pickens and John T. Holcomb was
fined So and costs in the Police Court
for failure to remit the vehicle license
which was authorized by the passage
of the ordinance. They appealed from
this court to the Common Pleas Court.
The farmers were defended by
Judge Edward D. Hays, while City
| Counselor Knehans represented the
city. Judge Hays contended that the
milk delivered by the farmers was part
of their produce and for that reason
no license could be charged as the
State statute exempts the farmers
from any such license in the event they
offer their products for sale on the
streets of the city.
The City Counselor, however, ar
gued that the milk could not be con-
strued to be part of the farmers pro-
duce, and that these were subject to
the vehicle tax inasmuch as they used
the city streets in making their de-
liveries. Dairymen who sold their
products in the streets or delivered
them to the residences were compelled
to pay this tax as any other vehicle
owners, and the farmers should not
escape this taxation.
The case was heard by Judge Sni-
der more than a month ago, but he
did not render his decision till yes
terday. He ruled that the milk and
other dairy products which the farm
ers brought in from their farms were
part of their produce and for that rea-
son could not be taxable.
The ruling of the Judge in the Mas
terson case will apply to the other
four cases which were appealed by the
defendants. About ten other farmers
who bring their milk to the city paid
the tax, hut this money will be reim-
bursed under the agreement made be-
tween Judge Hays and City Counselor
Knehans that the city would repay the
vehicle tax to the farmers in case the
city lost the appeal.

case of Almus Devore against l.. J

Drying Food TO
Preserve 1t is
An Easy Task

Fifty years ago il was a very COM
mon thing 10 dry practically all
kinds Of fruits ana vegetables, says
today's bulletin from the national
emergency food garden commission,
which is cooperating with this pa
per in its nation wide campaign for
the conservation of the food. Now
drying has become a lost art but
the present emergency viii stimulate
the method of food conservation. In
this year of great food production. il
is essential that some means be
taken for the prevention of waste
during the time of over supply.
Advantages of drying are most APP
parent to the housewife who has no
cellar or other place in which TO
store fresh vegetables and fruits.
When the markets are Overstocked,
she can lay in a supply dry it and
store il away for the winter with
out its taking up much space. If
she IS accustomed TO canning her
vegetables and fruit and is unable 70
obtain jars or cans, she can easily
resort to drying Many times there
will be quantities Of food left over
which are too small for convenient
canning. few peas, carrot or
turnip may be dried at a time and a
quantity sufficient for a meal soon
be secured. Small quantities of diff
ferent kinds of vegetables may be
dried and cOmb ined for soups and
stews
A strong point in drying is the
ease with which il may be done.
Nearly all kinds of fruits and vege-
tables may he dried at small cost
by means of the ordinary home uten
sis. The food 10 be dried may be
placed on dishes in the oven, with
the oven door partially open. or on
the back OF the stove while the
oven is being used for cooking. Ii
may also be done on sheets Of mus
lin or paper in the sun.
There are three methods which
give very satisfactory results for
home drying: Sun drying, drying
by artificial heat drying by air blast
electric FAM. These methods may
be combined advaHtageously.
All material should be washed and
prepared carefully After cleaning
the material should be blanched
and cold dipped as for canning and
then the regular drying process car
ried on.
To he dried quickly. most fruits
and vegetables should be shredded
or cut into slices because large
pieces will dry on the outside FORM
