The fruit should be clean, so that it
need not be washed; and not over
ripe. Look over carefully. Straw
berry hulls may be easily rubbed off
after the fruit is dried. Spread in
layers three berries deep in earthen
or granite ware plates. Begin dry
ing with gentle heat. Stir OCCASION
ally during drying. When partially
dried they may be subjected to great
er heat and may be spread thicker.
Plums. To prevent skins from
bursting remove them from the heat
once or twice to cool. When the
skins begin to shrivel all danger of
bursting is over. Plums may be
steamed for a few moments then split
in half, thus reducing the time of
drying. One hundred pounds plums
will yield about 20 pounds dried.
Pears for drying should not be
quite ripe. Peel, quarter, core and
steam eight or ten minutes before
drying.

tailed directions for drying, Miss

WASTE PAPER?
Jefferson Bee,1

The Iowa official register is another
big waste. altho the volume sometimes
comes handy in a newspaper office.
The only trouble is that it should be
issued in smaller quantities, and never
sent out except on request. The state
of Iowa issues one book that is really
of value to many people. the Code Of
Iowa's Laws. But the powers that
be" have ordered that the people shall
not have one of these without digging
up the price. Yes, they charge US for
the Code, something Of real use for the
people, and then they send us free Of
charge the report of the horticulture
al society, The consistency of this is
of a kind that would cause healthy
man to bite ten-penny nail in two.
Another government expense which
is Of the most worthless type is a
sheet called the Weekly War News
Digest issued at Washington. The
Bee has been getting it for some time,
and we have yet to find anything in

he read:

And then he closed his little black

black wings.

then she hoped away to the post

iOWA'S WHEAT FIGURES.

The figures which show the re-
Spouse OF Iowa farms to the request
that all farms carry at least 10 acres OF
wheat this year is gratifying but it is
what Iowa might be expected to do.
Iowa gets down to business quietly
without professions and drum corps
usually. When bonds are TO be sold
and wheat sown and volunteers for
war furnished Iowa's response has
been her fun quota OF men and money
SO it was nothing strange that Iowa
came ACROSS with the wheat fields
asked for
Several 1hinss entered into it. First
OF all the steady, strong volume of
Iowa patriotism and determination.
Next the object lesson Of wheat scar
city that arrived with the food ad-
ministrations orders restricting the
use of wheat products, Iowa had been
used to having all the wheat she
cared TO use There had never been
real scarcity of bread since Iowa began
to find herself and change from wilder
ness to the garden Of the Mississippi
valley. SO that came as a shock and
set men thinking. Then every county
in Iowa has county agent. Those
county agents have done extraordinary
work. They have been the clearing
houss for seed wheat, the advisers and
urgers OF a wheat seeding.
The east grows historical and
shouts and waves banners and holds
mass meetings-and then falls down
on enlistments. It is the difference in
people and sections. Iowa is inclined
to staidness and ccnsideratin: but when
big thing arrives and great ncces-
sity confronts the nation Iowa steps
in and carries on.
In short Iowa IS there with tn.
goods. OF all that is steadfast, de-
peEdable, strong. willing and judsma-
teal Iowa affords the most. She may
not start as suddenly as certain other
communities-a Ford cranks easier
than a 10 h. p.-but nothing stops her
and she can carry the load.

WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED

a lot in one year. Likewise the people

The necessities of war have taught

Red Cross. the Y. VI. G. A.. the
knights of Columbus. and other war
emergencies. in one year without sbe-
ing conscious of having done much of
anything. Yet that 100000 was al
most as much as we voted for the
new court house recently, and We
thought then we were cutting a great
financial swath and that il would take
us many Tears to pay for Il. We have
found that the price Of court house
IS only small change for Greene
county, TO be given away for philan-
thropic purposes in year or two

county have bought government

If they had told us a year ago that
we could do that and still escape ruin.
we should not have believed. Yet
the further we go the easier the bond
money comes. The third loan has
been far easier to obtain than the
first, We have learned the financial
lesson that bonds are not to be feared
and avoided, but are to be used.
That million and half dollars
would have paved with brick paving
the entire county highway system o.
Greene county, which takes in about
49, miles OF the principal thorough
fares. But wouldn't the people have
been Mortified if they had been asked
to loan the money for that purpose?
They would have been sure it would
bust every bank and bring us all face
TO face with disaster. We have learn
ed that a rich, energetic people like
those of Greene county can do any
thing they set out to do, and when
this war is over the lessons we have
learned VIII be put 10 practical uses
for home development along lines
never dreamed of before.

It's a strain waiting for a counter
offensive to develop but IL it's a strain
on US thousands Of miles away from
danger what must it be on those men
who are holding the line. If. they can
stand it surely We can.
Sure, it does seem that one demand
follows another, but what should We
expect in the midst of a desperate war.
And at that, nobody has been really
pinched or hurt in Iowa-yet.
The state fair is out of debt and has
a balance So it probably will not ask
the legislature for another big appro-
priation right away. Will 1t?
Yes, We are going to keep on lending
money to our allies, caring for their
families and generally financing as
well as lighting this war. Our only
way out is thru as Ed Meredith said
the other day. Let's go.
Secretar" Baker says he learned
a great deal in France. Which is of
itself encouraging.
So far no demand has been made to
change Charley Schwab's name to
Chick Jones in order to conform to the
American verities.
Perhaps if those coal operators we're
to dig and store a few tons ahead it
would help some.
A hundred dollar bond buys $40 first
aid packages, 1000 surgical needles,
rifles for five soldiers, clothes for one
and feeds a fighting man eight months.
