BOches in France any time they
want to go.
EMMETT d. BOLYE,
Governor.
He is expected to notify Willard
and Fulton of their election" to
do their fighting with bayonets in
the trenches.
After receiving the vote from
every section OF the country, S. T.
Hughes, editor-in-chief OF the
Newspaper Enterprise Association,
wired to the officials OF those
states Colonel Miller had picked
as possible fighting grounds for
Willard and Fulton, Colorado,
New Mexico and Nevada, asking
them IL they would permit the
holding of the fight.
All wired back that they
wouldn't let Willard and Fulton
fight in their states on Independ-
ence day or any other day during
the war.
That settled the fight in a ring
in America for Willard and Full
ton.
Col. Miller was i'm Denver trying
to put the fight over there. James
A. Pulliam, acting governor, voted
that they fight in the trenches.
So did r. w. Speer, mayor of Den-
yer. So did the attorney general,
state auditor, and Denver's chief
of police and commissioners of
safety.
Not a public official in Denver
voted for them to fight in a ring
in Denver or any other place in
America.

BY EXPERT WITH FOOD
ADMINISTRATION.
COUNSEL FOR HOUSEWIVES
STERILIZATION IMPORTANT TO
SUCCESS OF IMPROVED
METHODS GIVEN.

Greater economy in the use of sugar
for canning fruits is urged by the fed
eral food administration for Arizona
The following suggestions are given
by Mrs. Mary Primer Lockwood, home
economics director:
Will Sugar
Make Required
SO pounds apples. :. 20 OTIS. 5.62 lbs.
so pounds Reaches. .18 OTIS. As lbs.
so pounds pears 80 OTIS. 5. lbs.
IS pounds plums 80. 80 OTIS. 9.3S1bs.
To each quart of products use six
to eight level tablespoonful Of sugar;
sour fruit, such as plums, 10 spoons.
Thirty-two level tablespoonful of
sugar equal one pound; two cups Of
sugar equal one pound
In making jams use about one-half
pound of sugar to one pound Of pro-
duct. For jellies from one-half to
three quarters of cup of sugar will
be required to one cup of juice. The
same proportion obtains for MARINA
ladies' and preserves.
Our present shortage of sugar
need not interfere with the fruit
saving campaign. Many Ari-
IONA housewives are following
the directions of the Department
Of Agriculture in canning fruits with
out sugar.
Have jars, jar covers and rubbers
tested and sterilized.
If the cold pack method is followed
proceed as when sugar is used. When
the fruit Is packed in the jar fill the
jar with boiling hot water. Continue
the processing as when sugar is used.
If the open kettle method Is fol-
lowed place the fruit in a preserving.
kettle with enough water to prevent
scorching. Simmer gently until the
fruit is tender. Fill Jars and seal.
Fruit canned without sugar Is ex-
cellent for pie filings, buildings, ices,
sauces. salads and fruit punches.
In canning fruit juices without SUI
gar the following method should be
employed: ri,

ties will serve as containers. BE sure
