sion from the fuel administration Of

flied by the state Office before deliver
ing the remaining one-third Of the
normal allotment.

ly for use in self-feeding magazine

STAGE is ALL SET
FOR BIG w. S. S. DRIVE.

The Grant County War Savings
Stamps committee is looking forward
confidently to the pledging of this
county's quota in full, in War Savings
Stamps next Friday. Clerks in all
school districts of the county received
a letter this week from o. E. Gray of
Platteville, County Chairman, re-
minding them of the mandatory ma
ture of the instructions from the
treasury department in regard to the
meetings for raising the county's quo
ia. Orders have been received not to
dismiss meetings until the districts
full quota has been subscribed and to
report all heads of families not pres
ent, together with reason for absence,
to the Treasury Department at Wash
ington.
All families are asked to go upon a
strict war basis from now on, that the
money pledged in the coming drive
may be actually saved. Grant cOun-
tvs quota is $7S1,980. All buying not
essential to health, efficiency or econ
omy is being frowned upon by the
government. The saving affected by
cutting off non-essentials accomplish
es a double purpose, provides money
for winning the war, and diverts la
Dor from useless activity to needed
activity.

A PATRIOTIC MEETING
GATHERING AT
CAMPBELL RIDGE SUNDAY
LOCAL PEOPLE ATTEND.

A number Of persons active in the
War Savings Campaign went to Mill
vile Sunday to attend patriotic
meeting held at model new school
house on Campbell Ridge The meet
ing was largely attended by residents
OF MillIille, Patch Grove and Bloom
lngton. Talks were given by Richard
Meyer and Mr.. and Mrs. David erich
ton.
1t is entirely fitting that meeting
such as this should be held on the
Sabbath Day." Mrs. Crichton declared
on beginning her talk. And while we
have come to discuss the material
side OF this war, the material side is
so closely allied to the moral and spir-
1tUal side that there is no drawing the
line. And this is a righteous war. if
war ever was holy and righteous,
fought to determine whether right or
force shall rule this world, and the
Sabbath Day is an appropriate time
to discuss the part we in Grant Coun-
ty must play in it,
Mrs. Crichton appealed to the wo-
men of Grant county to put them
selves and their families on war
basis, to buy nothing not dictated by
health, efficiency or economy, and to
prepare to stand this war with the
same high courage and patience that
the women Of France and England
have shown for four years. She begg-
ed them to cease comparing their lot
OF today with that of pre-war days,
and to begin to compare their lot
with that of the women of Europe
whose sons and brothers and hus-
bands are putting their bodies be-
tween us and the bayonet of the Hun.
Mr. Meyers talk was emphatic,
convincing, to the point and was fire.
qUently interrupted by enthusiastic
applause. He took as a text "By their
deeds shall We know Them" declaring
that we have only to review the acts
Of Germany to know her for what she
is. He declared that the American
citizen must also be judged by his
deeds, and his loyalty measured by
the way in which he does his duty
in the present crisis. when the boys
come back we want to be able to look
them in the eye and say I did what
| could to back you up over there"
He told of what is expected in Grant
county in the present drive to secure
pledges for S781,980 in War Savings
Stamps, and the mandatory order Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury to ev-
cry citizen to be present at the meet
ing to be held in every school house
on June 20 at o'clock lie urged
everyone to do his duty and pledge
the full amount expected of him, to
provide the material things with
which to conduct the war.
Mr. Crichton told of the recent Wis
it to Lancaster Of the distinguished
English officer, Captain Frank Ed
wards of the Royal Fussiliers, and
gave a brief resume Of his talk here.
Since the last Liberty loan cam
paign, when patriotic meetings we're
held in nearly every country school
district, and were the biggest single
factor in putting Grant county cover
the top" Lancaster and Platteville
have provided speakers for gather
ings in every part Of the county The
word-Of-mOuth patriotism that is be-
ing spread in this way has proved
most resultful, and many communities
have been moved to greater and more
enthusiastic backing Of the Govern
ment in the task Of winning the war.

v DIRK OR F|GHT A HIVE OF INDUSTRY
CANNING FACTORY OPENS FOR
PEA CANNING AND WILL RUN
FOR THREE MONTHS.

The Lancaster canning factory OBJ
ened last week for the canning of
peas and will continue in operation
continuously until September. The
plant when the Herald man visited it
on Wednesday, was "a hive of indus
try" Over on the east end barges
were coming in loaded with peas on
the vine. The peas are cut with
mower and pitched on wagon like
hay. They go to the factory being
fed into the viner" where the stems,
pods, leaves and in fact all but the
pea itself are threshed off, The de-
bris is carried out on one side through
an endless affair of canvas passing
to the big silos on the north. The
peas drop down in hoppers on the 9th
er side and are conveyed by hand to
the weighing tables. Next comes the
grading or sorting for sizes. There
are five sizes ranging from large to
small.
The next step is in the canning
building where the peas are again
sorted and then pal boiled. They then
go through machine which fills the
cans-crack, crack-as fast as you
can say Jack Robinson"
The cans are taken to the cookers
and after a certain period in the re-
torts are sent to the shipping room
for labelling and packing.
Sounds easy, doesn't it? It takes
forty people-33 men and seven wo-
men-not counting Geo. Schorer. the
expert, and Rolla Kinney, general
supervisor. The International Can
ming company also has a man on the
ground to see that the new machines
give good satisfaction
There are about 175 acres in peas,
George says, the company having half
the acreage and the farmers the bal
ance. The pack will last until Aug
ust different kinds of peas being
packed each week.
First comes the Alaskas, an early
June variety maturing for packing in
80 to IS days. These are starchy and
not sweet but very melting Then
comes "Advancer," pea that is ready
in IS to IS days. Third is "Horsford,"
another type maturing in 70 to 80 days.
Last is prince of Wales" bearing in
80 days. This will keep the factory
going in fresh stock until the sweet
corn comes in.
The factOry-Lancaster sole place
employing numbers-will pay well
this year. That seems certain. Geo.
Schorer and Rolla Kinney are well
satisfied with the progress being
made in peas as the crop is good and
the product very tasty. The corn ac-
reage is about 400 so that with a
good crop results in a financial way
will be pleasing.
Please pass the peas!
