First Years Record Is 623 Cans
Small Balance for Treasury of
Patriotic League Probable.

With a record of 623 cans the work
Of the community canning kitchen is
over for this season, and looking to
the question of conservation of food
the efforts of those who have done so
much work have proved a success.
Although the field has not been as
far reaching as it was hoped to make
it % different persons have taken adj
vantage Of the opportunity to store
away their winters supply and in sew
eral instances housewives stated that
they could not possibly have done the
work themselves and that this portion
of their produce would have counted
for naught
Sixteen different kinds of products
have, been canned. The list includes
Strawberries, raspberries, peas, green
beans, yellow beans, lima beans, spin
aeh, beets, beet greens, Swiss chard
carrots, corn, tomatoes, summer squash
chicken and chicken broth. Three hun
: dred and fifty-tive quart Jars and 26S
pint jars were used.
The success of the work has beer
due in large measure to the untiring
efforts of Mrs Harold f. Moffitt, wht
| has devoted much time and thought Il
receiving and arranging the schedule
of orders, marking the produce and jar
and looking after the book work, a
well as to do a large amount of tn
work in the kitchen. Miss Margare
Barber, who had charge of securing tn
assistants for each day, also has give
many hours of labor in the kitchen, a
well as time in securing the help. 5
many of the girls showing an apparen
lack of interest iii an opportunity
do their bit in this patriotic duty. TIL

THANKS PATRIOTIC LEAGUE.
For It's Assistance in Indexing Sugar
Cards of County.

Editor of The Reformer:-
May l use this space in your paper
to publicly express my appreciation of
the work recently completed for the
food administration by the young wom-
en- of the Patriotic league.
The distribution of this second allot-
ment of sugar for canning entailed
upon the county food administrator the
work of card indexing and fling the
sugar certificates of the previous issue,
over 300 in all.
If | had had to do this myself this
sugar would not have been available in
time to can anything but snow balls
and icicles but thanks to the young
women of the league it was done in
your office and the Office of E. Crosby
& Co., in four evenings and holiday.
They have thus earned the thanks of
every one who can now get sugar for
canning, as well as,
Yours very truly,
HORTON d. WALKER.

UMBRELLA BARRACE
GREETS BASEBALL
men AT BOSTON

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 9.-When
the Chicago and Boston worlds series
battlers arrived in the City Of Culture
Sunday evening they were GREETED by a
large flock of fans and barrage of
umbrellas, as the rain was coming
down fast and there was more gloom
than cher about the station. The ath-
letes retired early so as to be up
bright and peppery Monday morning
for practice.
The betting Sunday night is to
that the Sox will win the series, with
very few takers. Boston fans are full
of confidence, while the Cub partisans
seem to have given up all hope.
The Red Sox team is not as strong
as the one which won the title several
years ago, but it Is a strong home
team and has lost only small number
of games this year on their native
heath.
The games will be played at Fenway
Park, which will be quite large nough
in every respect to shelter the crowd.
The great influx of out-otdoor fans in
previous years will not be REPEATED,
as thousands of the loyal New Eng
land devotees of the game have gone
to war.

LOCAL SOLDIER
VISITS BASE OF
BIG GERMAN Gun

wherever there is action, that Is
where we are" writes Fred Hugo,
serving with an artillery company in
the Rainbow division, in a letter to
his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. John Hugo,
800 North Seventh street.
Hugo tells of visiting the emplace-
ment Of the big German gun that bonn
barded Paris. His letter follows:
First Of all / am very well and
living fine. although open warfare is
far from comfortable. / had read
about trenches and trench warfare.
Just about enough to believe we would
never use our little tents that we carry
on our backs. But the last month we
have become acquainted with what we
call pupping 1t. II necessary we can
drive into a woods, pitch camp and
set up an office in no time at all. The
only bad feature at all is the rain and
the mud. Strange to say. however, |
have had no colds nor have had any
signs Of hay fever.

than the doughboys, who sometimes

Of their cooks and ration carts.
IF anyone happens to ask you, tell
them that our regiment has been in
the thick OF it. And l am proud OF the
fact that belong to it. The band is
playing up on the hill tonight. And
they are playing good. We have the
best band in the division and the best
army band we have ever heard. |

you wait few days we will march

some time. Do you suppose / will
find some of my great uncles or aunts
there?
Last night ! went over to see a
little bit of the evidence of Germany's
well calculated plans to take Paris.
It was the base of the big gun that
was Smelling Paris. The base was
turn table about forty feet in diameter
set on 1876 ball bearings. The tube
and carriage runs on the table from
