COLD-PACK CANNING

DO you know that the cold-pack
method of canning fruits and veget-
ables is simpler, safer, and saner
than the old open kettle method? 1t
is simpler because following a few
definite instructions will bring def
mite results. There is no constant
watching, testing and, in spite of
years of experience. often guessing
as to when the operation is complet-
ed. Older people learn to can by the
open kettle method only after a
thorough practice, while the cold
pack method is readily learned by
boys and girls.
1t is safer because It entirely
eliminates the dust problem, since
the product Is boiled a long time af-
ter the covers are on the cans. All
equipment used Is sterillzed and all
practical possibility OF any contain
nation is removed. 1t is simply ap-
plying the strictest sanitary rules, 10
necessary in surgical work, to our
canning.
In view OF the fact that it is simp-
uer and safer than the open kettle,
who would deny that II Is saner?
Then. will you use it? If not,
why not? These are war times.
Your government has approved this
method and is advocating 1t through
It's demonstrators. You missed the
demonstration? Well, you will have
another chance. Watch the papers
for the announcement which will be
made. In the meantime II you are
interested in this method OF canning
apply TO the county agent for bulle-
tins giving complete information.

FLAG INCIDENT SETTLED.
Luce County Has Been Officially An
nOnnced As the Winner.

The question OF the right of Luce or
Schoolcraft county TO be called the
banner county OF Michigan and there
fore OF the United States. as to Red
Cross memberships obtained in the
drive OF last December. is now author
itatively settled in favor OF Luce
county by a decision made by Hon. s.
T. Miller. chairman OF the Michigan
State Board and director for Michigan
of the American Red Cross.
II will be remembered that each
county reported over one hundred per
cent OF memberships, based upon the
census OF 1910. and that banner was
presented to each by Mrs. Sleeper
Luce county was willing to accept di-
vided honors but Schoolcraft pressed
for a decision. An indefinite decision
was hurriedly made, not based on the
rules OF the drive nor the number OF
actual memberships obtained to and
including December 3lst, and much
controversy ensued.
The decision of Mr.. Miller, who was
not concerned in the controversy and
to whom the matter was submitted Of
flcially as the head of the Red Cross
OF the state, is based upon the rules
of the drive and accords the honor to
Luce county in a letter OF July 25th
to both chapters, in these words:
II am instructing our bureau of de-
velopment to place Luce county at the
head OF the chapters on our records
inasfar as the membership campaign
OF last winter is concerned"
A memorable aspect of the contro-
versy is that II has developed no ill-
feeling between the counties, but each
has been an ardent admirer OF the
splendid patriotic work OF the other
Newberry News.

Last Sunday, August 4, was the
Fourth anniversary OF England's emit
rance into the. war and the day was
commemorated by services held all
over the allied countries.
England's entry into the war really
decided the enormity OF the struggle.
Had England held aloof, France
would certainly have been crushed in
short order, for the greatest draw
back TO German success was the
presence OF the British navy which
has shut out Germany from inter
course with all other countries. II IS
the strangle hold OF that feet that is
slowly but gradually starving Ger
many into submission, not alone in
the matter OF foodstuffs, but in the
larger sense OF general supplies Of
raw material which any nation must
have in order to continue such a
struggle indefinitely.
The day will undoubtedly be one OF
general observation throughout the
allied world In the generations to
come, likewise II will be one that the
German people, after they have been
liberated from the domination OF the
Prussian junker, will look upon with
reyerence

Dear Mr.. Conlin:
l am writing this letter mainly TO
show the benefit of the Red Cross In
this country. After spending nearly
two weeks at Valparaiso, WilfLynch

go to Texas for special training. Our
mess sergeant handed us bag con-
tanning. or supposed to contain five
meals. Before we got TO Chicago our
bread was dry and the meat was poor
and 1t looked as II We might go
hungry and we would have had IL not
been for the Red Cross.
In Chicago they supplied US with
chocolate bars, chewing gum, postal
cards and cigarettes. At $3.50 the
next morning they met our train at
st. Louis and served us with sand
witches and coffee. Again at noon
they fed us sandwiches and lemonade
at Springfield, Mo. and we got our
best feed at Fort Smith, Arkansas. II
II was not for the Red Cross work
feel certain our trip would have
been much more tiresome.
We are now located at the A. & M.
college, Texas, and working like
beavers on the international code,
buzzers and electrical engineering.
Our course will take us twelve weeks
at the most.
The weather is not quite as warm
as one from Michigan would antici-
pate, but the water contains too much
sulphur to suit the taste.
We have the best of food, served by
niggers and greasers, good rooms with
linen bedding, real mattress and pill
lows.
My best regards to all my Crystal
Falls friends.
Very truly yours,
