going TO cut another potato

when another big batch of prairie
sunflowers, squash, corn and 9TH
er vegetables were brought into
the court room Monday in the
Camp Lewis condemnation suit.
The vegetables were from Sec

condemned, and we're taken to
court in an attempt to show what
might be grown on wild land in
section Is, which the defense
claimed has similar land.
A previous attempt to haul

resulted In catastrophe when At

beans, corn, peas, and asparagus in

is carried on for one hour for three
successive days. The cans are
lowered slowly under water that is
boiling vigorously at the time. Nat
urally it ceases to boil as soon as
the cans are immersed but will be-
gin to boil again a short time later
The time of processing is counted
from the moment when the water
begins to boil again and it must be
kept boiling constantly throughout
the entire hour. In the case Of
very young string beans and some
other easily sterilized vegetables,
the processing is reduced to one
hour for two successive days.
AS soon as the processing is
over, the cans should be cooled as

WHAT AMERICA
OWES TO FRANCE

WHAI AmEhlCH
OWES TO FRANCE
Americas debt to unsel6sh France
and the substantial part which that
nation, led by Lafayette, had in
gaining the freedom for the colonies
was succintly and eloquently set
out in a recent address by Colonel
George w. Balm before the Rotary
club at Lexington. With the issue
of patriotism, raised by the Liberty
bond issue before the Nation, it is
timely to remember that the young
French major out of his own purse
bought the vessel which brought the
first expedition and financed the
voyage; that he gave fifty thous-
and francs to provision hungry sol
diers under Washington, and then
equipped two thousand men for his
own command. Colonel Balm said:
'In 1857 a babe was born to the
purple in France. At the age of
seven he was sent to the finest
school in Paris. When fifteen he
was page to the queen. In his
eighteenth year he married a young
woman whose income was one hun
dred and fifty thousand francs a
year. When the Revolutionary War
came on in this country he had a
consuming purpose to help the colo
nies win their liberty. Going to the
American Commissioners in Paris
he offered to take an expedition to
America. When informed by the
commissioners they had neither
ship or credit he said Il will buy the
ship and finance the voyage
Tn April, 1777, this young
nobleman, yet only twenty years of
age, landed in Charleston, S. c.
Making his way to Philadelphia he
appeared before Congress, present
ed letters from the commission
and volunteered to serve in the
army without pay"
General Washington was so fav-
orably impressed with the young
Frenchman he commissioned him
major. The young officer was so
touched by the condition of the SOL
diers under Washington he gave
fifty thousand francs to provision
them, and afterwards equipped two
thousand men under his own COM
mand. The self-sacrifcing heroism
of this lover of liberty was such as
to create a sentiment in France
that sent a fleet under d'Estaing.
Then came a larger one under
Rochambaeu to the help of the
colonies. Defeat after defeat had
come to Washington's army but
when joined by the reinforcements
from France, the tide turned and
victory crowned the soldiers of
Washington and Lafayette.
"When the surrender came at
Yorktown, CORVALLIS offered his
sword to the brave Frenchman who
had become a general, but Marquis
de Lafayette modestly bowed and
pointed to General Washington as
the one to whom it should go.
"Now when France is fighting
for the same principles our fore
fathers fought fory facing the
mightiest military power of the
world, her soil soaked with tears
and blood, her bosom billowed by the
graves of her heroes, the red Tipped
wounds of her shell-torn soldiers,
appealing for the soothing service
of Red Cross nurses, the pale white
lips Of her starving children, beg
ging for bread, her reserves ex-
hausted, the last ounce of her en-
ergy in the balance, with her bleed
ing face and longing eyes turned
toward the repubie whose liberty
