eve hope this year will not be re-
membered for it's drought, but it
should hold the record as a drying
year--the time when American house
wives adopt the methods of their
grandmothers and saved the food
supply without using glass or tin, or
wasting shipping space.
Cans of all kinds cost real money
now Tin is becoming one of the rare
metals and glass is scarce. Shipping
space is urgently needed for any pur-
pose other than for handling unneces-
saries. Tin cans and glass jars are
not necessares when foods can be
dried and kept in bags or boxes.
Last summer the women Of the
farms and towns helped lot to re-
lieve the pressure on supplies by dry
ing vegetables, but that was only
start. This year all the driers in the
country should be put to use through
out the season, and where driers are
not available the sun will do the
work.
Dried foods are becoming recogniz-
ed as equal to foods put up along with
their juices. The juice can be put
back from the pump. Commercial
driers are now putting out dehydrated
products that do not run up big
freight bills. When served they look
and taste like tin-can or glass-jar
foods
What we need to do is to dry all
the vegetables we can, keep the cans
out of freight space, and quit hauling
water from one end of the country to
the other. These things count when
a nation like ours winces at the loss
of bag of flour and freezes because
it can't move enough coal."-The
Country Gentleman, March 8, 1918.

A LIBERTY Boho--
Sundays Liberty Day parade was
one of the most splendid patriotic
demonstrations the writer has ever
seen anywhere. It is impossible to
give all who contributed to its success
the credit due them and the affair was
so big, that the Independent fears.
that it is apt to overlook number OF
it's important features. We do want
to give credit to the chairman of the
parade committee, Clarence D. See
manager of the Minot Sash & Door
Factory, for the good work which ne
did Mr.. See spent good many days
