Upon the women ana girls, and boys,
too, in the homes of America rests
the large and important responsibility
of making sure that the surplus Of
vegetables, berries, and fruits grown
this year is not wasted even in part.
1t will be patriotic service to can,
dry or otherwise conserve the large
surplus of vegetables expected from
the extraordinary efforts everywhere
in America to increase production.
In every community in the country
food is being produced in back yards
and vacant lots that neyerIbefore were
used for this purpose. Last year, ac-
cording to the United States secretary
of agriculture, the home-garden move
ment was estimated to have stimu-
lated the planting of from two hun
dred to three hundred per cent more
gardens than ever before had pro-
duced food in the United States. This
year, it is expected, even last years
record will be surpassed. Every fam
lily with available ground has been
urged to plant and cultivate a home
garden.
Eat all the vegetables and fruits
you need, use them to the utmost to
lessen your demand for other food
stuffs. But can, dry, brine or other
wise conserve all the surplus.

advantage, Every housewife knows
the cut that can be made in table
expenses by larder well stocked with
jars and cans of home-preserved fruits
and vegetables. Furthermore, the use
of an abundant supply Of fruits and
vegetables is at all times essential to
health. The problem of furnishing an
adequate supply Of food often is to
be solved only by such conservation.
The need for variety in the diet Is
met most easily and economically by
the surplus of the abundant season
preserved for the time of scarcity.
This is the foreword of q series OF
articles prepared by food-conservation
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The articles
are designed not only to guide those
who have never conserved before, buf'
to help those who have had years Of
experience. Simple, practical direc~
tons will be explained proved recipes
will be given, and every effort viii
be made to provide plain workable in
structions. The articles to follow In
this series will deal in detail with
canning, drying, brining, picking, pre-
serving, and jelly making. Those who
wish detailed instructions at once are
advised to write to the division Of
publications, United States department

they are particularly interested.

placing the cans or Jars Of material to
be treated in the boiler or Gamer, and
boiling for the required length Of time
on each Of three successive days. By
many this is considered a safer pro-
cedure than the use Of single long
period of boiling.
If you employ this method, when the
jars are being given the second and
third boiling treatments, you should
loosen the clamps or unscrew the lids
slightly just before you place them
again in the boiling water. Tighten
covers at the end of each boiling AS
the seal of the Jars is loosened slight

tertained In the children's room mean

the attendant In charge how he had
got along and was told. "He's all right

look at a thing" Rather SURPRISED,

she turned to the younyster. "Why

Aunty Rose unhends.

There never was a lovelier place for
a little glrl--to say nothing OF a dog
to play in than the yard about the
Stagg homestead; and this Carolyn
May confided to Aunty Rose one fore
noon after her arrival at The Cor
ners.
Behind the house the yard sloped
down to a broad, calmly flowing
brook. Here the goose and duck pens
were fenced off, for Aunty Rose would
not allow the web-footed fowl to wan
der ut large. as did the other poultry.
1t was difficult for Prince to learn
that none of those feathered folk were
to be molested.
There was n wide-branching oak
tree on a knoll overlooking the brook.
Around Its trunk Uncle Joe had built
seat. Carolyn May found this a
grand place to sit and dream, while
Prince lay at her feet.
When they saw Aunty Rose In her
sunbonnet going toward the fenced-in
garden they both jumped up and
bounded down the slope after her. II
was just here at the corner Of the
garden fence that Carolyn May had
her first adventure.
Prince, of course, disturbed the Sc
renity of the poultry. The hens went
shrieking one way, the guinea fowl

Mr.. Joseph Stagg, going down to his
store, past the home and carpenter
shop of Jedidiah Parlow. at which he
did not even look, finally came to his
destination In a very brown study. So
disturbed had he been by the arrival
OF his little niece that he forgot to
question and cross-qucstion young
Chetwood Gormley regarding the pos
sible customers that had been in the
store during his absence.
"And l tell you what 1 think, moth

supper that evening. II think her
coming's going to bring about changes.
Yes, ma'am"
Mrs. Gormley was a faded little
woman-a w!dow--who went out sew
ing for better-to-do people in Sunrise
Cove. She naturally thought her boy
Chetwood "A great deal smarter than

Downstairs. In the great kitchen.
Aunty Rose was stepping back and
forth, from table to sink, from sink to
dresser. from dresser to pantry. As
the daylight faded she lit the lamp
which swung from the ceiling and
gAve light to all the room.
Il would have been impossible for
the wisest person to guess what were
tho thoughts In Aunty Roses mind.
A glad little yelp from the dog tied
to the rail Of the porch sounded sud-
denly. Even Aunty Rose could not
mistake that cry Of welcome and she
knew very little about dOgs--to their
credit, at least. She had heard no
other suspicious sound, but now she
crossed the room with firm tread and
opened the porch door. Yes. a little
white figure was down there hugging
the whining mongrel.

raised from Princes rough neck.

you would better come I'm now and

SObbing. the little girl obeyed. Then
she would have gone back up the
stairs without a word had not Aunty
Rose spoken.
"COme here. Carolyn May" she said
quite as sternly as before.
The little girl approached her. The
old lady sat in one of the straightest
Of the straightforward chairs, her
hands In her comfortable lap. The
wet blue eyes were raised to her COM
posed face timidly.
'Tf you wish to say your prayers
here, before going upstairs, you may,

"Oh, may II" gasped the little girl.
She dropped her hands into Aunty
Roses lap. Somehow they found those

into them as the little girl sank to

II the simple "Now / lay me" was
familiar to Aunty Roses eur from
long ago she gave no sign. When the
earnest little voice added to the for
NAL supplication desire for the bless
ing Of "Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose"
the latter's countenance retained its
composure.
She asked a blessing upon all her
friends. including the Prices, and even
Prince. But 1t was after that she put
the tImid question TO Aunty Rose that
proved to be almost too much for that
good woman's studied calm.
"Aunty Rose, do you s'pose might

n crocodile from the Nile Joseph Stugg
would have felt little more at q loss
as to what disposal to make of the
creature than he felt now regarding
his little niece.
"Well--she'll be nuisance; an aw.
ful nuisance" was his final comment,
with q mountainous sigh.
| Thus far, Aunty Rose Kennedy's at.
titude towards the little stranger had
been the single pleasant disappoint-
ment Mr.. Stagg had experienced.
Aunty Rose was an autocrat Joseph
Stagg had never been 90 comfortable
in his life as since Mrs. Kennedy had
taken up the management Of his home.
But he stood in great awe Of her.
He put the lawyers letter In the
safe. For once he was unable 70 re-
spond to a written communication
promptly. Although he wore that
band of crepe on his arm he could not
actually realize the fact that his sister
Hannah was dead.
Any time these fifteen years he
might have run down to New York to
see her. First she had worked in
| the newspaper Office as stenOgra-
pher. Then she had married John
| Lewis Cameron and they had gone im-
mediately to housekeeping.
Cameron was busy man; he held
a "desk job" on the paper. Vacations
| had been hard to get. And before long
Hannah had written about her baby
"Hannah's Car'lyn."
After the little ones arrival there
seemed less chance than before for
the city family to get up to Sunrise
Cove. But at any time he might have
gone to them. If Joseph Stagg had
shut up his store for week and gone
to New York, It would not have
brought the world to an end.
Nor was 1t because he was stingy
that he had not done this. No, he was
no miser. But he was fairly buried
In his business. And there was no
''look up" in that dim little office In
the back Of the hardware store.
On this evening he closed the store
later than usual and set out for The
Corners slowly. To tell the truth. Mr..
Stagg rather shrank from arriving
home. The strangeness Of having q
child In the house disturbed his tran.
quillity.
The kitchen only was lighted when
he approached; therefore he was re-
assured. He knew Hannah's Car,lyn
must have been put to bed long since.
1t was dark under the trees and
only long familiarity with the walk
enabled him to reach the back porch
noiselessly. Then 1t was that some
thing scrambled up In the dark and
the roar Of a dogs barking made Jo-
seph Stagg leap back in fright.
"Drat that mongrel!" he calculated
remembering Prince.
The kitchen door opened, revealing
Aunty Roses ample figure. Prince
whined sheepishly and dropped his alb
breviated tail, going to lie down again
at the extreme end Of his leash and
blinking his eyes at Mr.. Stagg.
"The critters as savage as beari"
grumbled the hardware merchant.
HE is good watchdog; you must
allow that. Joseph Stagg." Aunty Rose
said calmly.
The hardware dealer gasped again.
It would be hard to say which had
startled h'n the most-the dog or
Aunty Roses manner.
