PRESERVING - CANNING = DRYING

Sweet Corn-Remove husk and
silk. Blanch five minutes on cob.
Cold dip; cut corn from cob and
pack directly in hot jars or cans
(A inch of top). Fill with boil
ing water. Add level teaspoonful
salt per quart. Put rubbers and
caps of jars into position, not tight.
Seal tin cans completely. Sterilize
for the length OF time given below
for the particular type of outfit used
Water bath, $50 minutes.

Corn seems to give home Gamers
more trouble than do most products;
but, with care and study, corn may
be canned as easily as any other
product grown in the garden. A lit
tie experience in selecting the ear
and the ability TO recognize corn that
is just between the milk and the
dough stage are important. Cut the
corn fom the cob with a sharp, thin
bladed knife, and pack it at once in
TO sterilized jars. Best results can
be obtained when one person cuts
the corn from the cob and one per-
~on nils the containers.
If it is necessary for one person to
work alone, he should cut off suffi-
cient corn to fill one jar, pour on
boiling water, and salt, place the
rubber cap into position, and put
the jar into the canner or hot wa
ter at once. Corn expands a little
in processing, and for this reason
the cans should not be filled quite
full. Corn that has reached the
dough stage before being packed
will have a cheesy appearance after
canning. Corn should never be a..
lowed to remain in the cold-dip wa
ter, and large quantities should not
be dipped at one time unless suffi-
icient help is available to handle the
product quickly.
When canning sweet corn on the
cob, follow same directions but pack
whole ears in jars instead of cut
off corn.

duct is commonly known as corn

OFFICER ARRESTS
ENOS D. MYERS
Warrant Charging Theft of
$4,000 Served on Ex-Cashier
of LemaSters Bank

Chambersburg, Pa, July "a
Enos D. Myers, former cashier of
the Lemasters National Bank. was
arrested in the Office of his counsel,
Walter X. Sharpe, here yesterday
afternoon by Harvey Smith, Deputy
United States Marshal, of Harris
burg, on a warrant containing two
charges, one alleging violation OF
Section 5209 of the revised statutes
Of the United States, which provides
against the willful and felonious use
of moneys, funds and credits of a
bank, applying this to the Lemas-
ters bank as of on or about Septem-
ber 16. 1916, and the other alleging
false entries in the books of the
bank on or about the same date for
the alleged purpose of deceiving and
defrauding the directors and stock
holders of the bank.
The charges were brought by Will
liam ]. Large, special bank examiner
of the United States, who came be-
fore the United States Commissioner,
Norman L. Bonebrake, in his office
here to get the warrant. Myers
pleaded not guilty and gave $4,000
bail for trial in Scranton on October
15.
The story of the wrecking of the
bank at Lemasters and the loss of
more than $4,000, is fresh in pub
lie memory. The bank was closed
by the Comptroller of the Currency
six months ago, and later reorgan-
lied. Most of the money lost is said
to have gone into the Fort Louden
and McConnellsburg railroad pro-
ject. through advances made to the
contractor, Clyde Kuhn, on notes he
gave to Myers.

Gen. Thomas H. Barry Is
Slated to Succeed Scott
as Chief of u. S. Staff

Washington, July 24.-Major Gen
eral Thomas H. Barry. U. S. A, coIn-
manding the Central Department,
with headquarters at Chicago, is
slated to succeed Major General
Hugh I. Scott. L. S. A. as chief of
staff of the United States Army.
The tip has gone forth from high
Offices that General Barry will sue
ceed to the highest post in the mill
tary service when General Scott
reaches the age of retirement in Sep
tember. General Barrys friends will
not discuss the report for the rea-
son, as they express it, that too
many things could happen between
now and September" but they are
confident over his chances.
Major General Leonard Wood,
now in command of the Southeast
ern Department, with headquarters
at Charleston, S. c., and Major Cen
eral ]. Franklin Bell, in command
of the Eastern Department at New
York, are the only two officers in the
army who outrank General Barry.
General Wood was Taft's chief OF
staff.
Prior to President Wilson's ap-
pointment of General Scott as chief
OF staff General Barry was spoken
of in the highest military circles as
the man for the place, and the fact
of his disappointment then leads
many now to the conclusion that he
is to reach his ambition.
General Barry is "a New Yorker.
and is sixty-two years of age. The
description generally applied to him
is that he is firm, gruff, inexora BILE.

have a sufficient number of
salespeople all day long to
handle the trade at the very
busiest hour, which, due to
the habits of customers, is
near the middle of the day.
To help us distribute the
