WASTING FOOD, LABOR, LIFE,

These are the chief factors in win.
ming the war; and the liquor men are
wasting all three!
They are wasting food. Last year
the waste amounted to 7,000,000,0OO
pounds of foodstuffs! And they have
no right to starve some men by making
others drunk
They are wasting labor. About
100000 men are engaged In the
manufacture, sale and distribution
of bo0ze-in breweries, saloons and
restaurants, as brewers, bartenders
and waiters-at q time when every
man is needed in some useful occupa-
ton to help win the war. The labor
Of these 100000 men is worse than
wasted-no possible good can come Of
It, but much harm is done.
They are wasting life. Bartend-
ers, brewery workers and walters
In saloons lose an average Of six
years of life on account of t tfkctiixx1
occupations. If the 100000 men who
make and sell booze lose an average OF
six years of life, it makes total OF
100000 years of life. The average
man works about 80 years-so that the
liquor traffic is using up the equivalent
Of 10000 men in each generation. And
this is too great price for the nation
to pay.-Charles Stelzle.

CONCENTRATED VEGETABLE
SOUP

Any desired mixture of vegetables
may be canned for home use. A good
combination consists Of one quart con-
centrated tomato pulp, one pint corn
or tiny lima beans, one pint Okra, four
teaspOonfuls salt and sugar seasoning,
one small onion chopped, and half cup
full of chopped sweet red pepper.
Cook the tomatoes, pepper and onion;
put through sieve to remove seeds
and skins. Return strained pulp to
kettle and cook down to about the con-
sistency of ketchup. Measure, add the
corn or beans and okra, which have
been prepared as for canning, add sea-
soning, and cook all together for ten
minutes. Pack hot into previously
boiled Jars. Partially seal Jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process quart
jars 80 minutes under pressure of ten
pounds. Seal Immediately, cool In a
draft-free place, and when cold test
for leaks. Store in cool, dark, dry
place.
If the intermittent boiling process is
used, boil for one hour on each of
three successive days. Before each
subsequent boiling the covers must be
loosened, and after each boiling the
covers must be securely frightened
again to make sealing complete. Cool,
test for leaks, and store.

HE GREW PRIZE CROP OF corn
Fred Pinn, Of Humboldt, Wins Cup in
New STATE Contsat.

NEW SSAto Connect.
Ames. Feb. Gin the first annual
adult farmers acre corn contest ever
conducted in Iowa by the agricultural
extension department of Iowa State
College, Fred Pinn, Of Humboldt, was
awarded first honors with n yield Of

the Banner trophy. given by Presi-
dent r. A. Pearson, of Iowa State Col
lege. Tho result Of the contest was
announced recently at Ames during the
winter short course.
This acre was measured out Of q
field Of five acres that had been plant
ed on rolling sandy bottom land. The
field had been in pasture the year be-
fore and no manure was applied. It
was plowed on May 20 to depth u
six inches. disked four times and har-
rowed twice. 1t was drilled May %
with home grown Reds Yellow Dent
corn that had been tested. The rows
were three feet and six inches apart
and planted at a depth of three inches
On May q the field was narrowed
twice. During the season it was Gull
tivated five times. the first time five
inches deep, the second time, three
inches, and the other three. four inches.
1t was not bothered by insects and did
not sucker at all. In an average 100
hills, there were $50 stalks.
The crop was harvested on Novem-
Der 20 by the county agent and the
weighing and testing was done by the
Farmers Cooperative Association Of
