Dress UP. Sir.

Los Angeles Times: There is a
clever young bookkeeper IN Los
Angeles who is nearly always out oi
work because OF the fact that he is
slovenly in his dress. His contention
is that "a man should be judged by
what he is and what he does rather
than by what he wears" Perhaps he
is right. but men are also judged BY
their front" for the apparel oft
proclaims the man." If carpenter
goes to ask for employment. taking
with him only a hammer and saw
instead of a full kit of tools, he Is
usually taken for 4 very poor car
penter-and. as a rule, he is. To the
office man. the actor, the newspaper
man and any other worker who !,
compelled TO meet the public in his
daily occupation good clothes arc
essential in securing a position and
in keeping it. The young man who
does not know this has not learned

SWEET CORN CANNING.
Success of Home Process Depends
Upon Careful Selection of Tender
Grain in Milk Stage.

u. S. Department OF Agriculture
Successful home canning OF sweet
corn depends upon careful selection
OF tender, juicy corn in the milk
stage. Corn for canning should
never stand longer than a few min
utes after being taken from the stalk
Corn which is past the milky stage
or is stale is very difficult to can.
Remove husk and silk. Blanch on
the cob by dipping into boiling wa
ter from one to three minutes, or
until milk is set. Have clean hands,
and all utensils scalded. Cut corn
off the cob. Pack Immediately into
previously boiled jars to within one
inch of the top, but do not pack too
lightly Add seasoning (one-third
teaspoonfuD to each pint OF corn,
and fill jars with clear hot water.
Paddle to allow liquor to penetrate
to the bottom of the par, and to re-
move all air bubbles. Partially seal
jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pint
jars one and one-quarter hours at
fifteen pounds pressure. Seal I'M
mdiately, cool as rapidly as possible,
but do so in a place free from drafts.
Do not put into cold water, as the
Jars will crack. When cold test for
leaks and store i'll a cool, dark, dry
place.
If the intermittent process is used,
boil pint jars one and one-half hours
the first day and one hour on the
second and third days. Loosen cov-
ers before each subsequent boiling.
and seal completely after boiling.
Cool, test for leaks, and store.
If the single-period continuous
boiling process is employed, boil for
at least three hours. Seal, cool, test
for leaks, and store.
Take every precaution to have good
rubbers and absolutely tight jars.
Test for leaks each time jars become
cold, and again twenty-four hours
after processing. All jars showing
slightest sign OF leaks must be re-
fitted with rubbers and reprocessed.
Usually a better-flavored finished
corn product can be obtained by
driving the corn instead OF canning

MOBS OF LARGE
SIZE RAID AND
FIGHT IN TOXIC

Toxic, Saturday, Aug. lS.-(By
The Associated Press. )-Disturban-
ces against the high price OF rice
continue and there have been many
clashes throughout Japan, some OF
which resulted in serious injuries,
The government has compromised
with the newspapers concerning re-
ports of the riots. and is permitting
publication OF two official bulletins
daily.
The first bulletin issued in Toxic
province during the last three days
explains that separate mobs in To-
kio, varying in size from 800 to TO-
900 attacked and damaged police
boxes, rice stores and geisha hous-
es, and attacked the Seiroken hotel
and the building of the ministry OF
communication and commerce.
Other buildings and automobiles
and tramways were the objects OF
mob anger. Police and troops event
ually dispersed the mobs. Large
gatherings were held in Toxic Fri
day night, but there was no rioting.
Reports OF rioting in eighteen pre-
lectures in addition to Osaka, 10
yoto and Nagoya are referred to in
the bulletin.

lot in which she had relatives buried
She bought the lot from a private
party before the city assumed con-
troll of the cemetery and it was held
the city was not liable. Finally, ii
was referred to the city attorney to
settle with her.
Would Regulate Fair Traffic.
John Easley and Mr.. Lewis, on
behalf of the Carter County Free
Fair, were present and asked the
city to establish a route to and from
the wair grounds to compel people
to travel that way in going to and
from that point. The mayor said
the city was willing to do all it could
to aid in the matter. Mr.. Easley then
said they would like to have the
MAYOR and commissioners establish a
rate of fare for passengers to and
from the fair grounds and see that 1t
was enforced, that the patrons OF
the fair might not be charged eN-
tortionate prices. The mayor did
not think this could be done. Com
missioner Carter will confer with
the representative Of the Fair AS
sociation looking to the selection OF
a route.
Bids for constructing a storm sew
er near West Broadway and F Street
northwest were opened. The Ard
more Construction Company bid
,32O and Wicker Bros. bid 81 ,3O5.
On motion OF Commissioner Carter
the contract was awarded to Wicker
Bros. The estimate was Sl,32l.69.
Engineer Mcintosh presented new
specifications for the pipe line to
Hickory creek. There were addi-
tional provisions to those formerly
offered as at that time no provis-
ion had been made for securing the
right OF way and it became neces-
sary to withdraw the advertisement
for bids. Also the advertisement
had not asked for bids on A grade of
standard pipe and the new specifica-
tions include this. The report was
accepted and adopted. Specifica-
tions for the dam were also offered
and approved. Bids will not be ad-
vcrtised for both.
A resolution fixing the time for
protests on the paving appraisements
on Third avenue southwest went
over to the next meeting.
The mayor said the sewer from
| to L street, on Third avenue south
west, and from l. street to Stanley
boulevard should be put in as the
contractors are ready to pave the
street. Commissioner Fraley said
there is no money in that fund.

Burkburnett Has Another Gusher

Another gusher has been brought
in. in the Rurkburnett field the Sta
lev. Langford and Chenault well, on
town lot about 300 feet from the
Fowler well. The new well flowed
over the derrick until 1t was capped
and controlled. The estimated pro-
duction is 5000 to 1000 barrels dai-
ly.
There has been some speculation
as TO whether or not the big Fowler
well was a freak or the opening OF a
new pool, and this second well is en-
couraging for a pool.
Several other tests are near the
sands and all are being watched with
much interest. The Burkburnett
field has always been considered 4
spotted field, in the upper sands,
and these tests for the Fowler sand
are interesting from that point OF
view.
There are fifty derricks up within
one mile from the center oil the town
OF Burkburnett, and practically ev-
ery town lot has been leased tor
drilling.

tons in that field:
