STORING VEGETABLES

Each vegetable should be kept un-
der the conditions best adopted to
keeping it in good condition. The
first thing to look out for is bruises,
as wherever the skin is broken decay
can enter. The vegetables also keep
better if little Immature. Cabbage,
celery and root crops keep best in low
temperature with fairly moist tenn
perature and good ventilation. Onions
keep ebst just above freezing in dry
atmosphere. Squashes and pump
kins need a dry atmosphere at about
so degrees. The root crops keep best
when hurried in moist sand or soil in
q cool placs. Celery when dag, is
really transplanted as it, should be
ekpt growing g.R1hen Is: storage. Dig
it with . good deal of soil on the roots
and place closely in moist sand or soil

American naval activity except the
Adriatic base.
"The outstanding feature to me-
he said, "is the fact that the Ameri-

and is written on the stationery Of a
hotel in Mitchell. The letter reads as
follows:
Dear Comrade:
The Farmers Nonpartisan League
is organizing here Ia great shape, and
the farmers are falling al over them
selves to get into it. There have been
several stayed here and j guess there
is one in every county. Evidently
meaning an organixer). Most every
farmer falls for it and Il is sure good.

A rose by another name smells just
as sweet, and we are perfectly willing
to let them pull our chestnuts out Of
the fire while it is hard I6rk, for after
the band wagon starts it will be no job
at all. and they can't complete their
program without embracing socialism
anyhow. All the organizers admit
this, but the farmers have not realiz.

they will not until, it is too late 70,
them to turn back.

SCOUT! MAN Is DROWNING!

The scout game of lifesaver Is a
f1rst-aid game and should be played
often. Otherwise, when the real thing
happens. some day, we shan't be
ready. Many a swimmer is drowned
every summer trying to rescue q
drowning comrade from having no no.
tion of how to do 1t.
The game Is great fun and is played
with five teams Of two players each.
There are two classes Of players: the
savers and the "drowners." Five
drowners go out from shore a GER
tain distance and pretend they are
drowning. Five savers swim out to
bring them in.
1t is unfair for q drowner to as
sist himself In any way once saver
gets hold on him. Any hold is per-
missible, but care must be taken to
keep the drowner's head above water.
The first saver who brings his bur-
den safely across the line is the win
ner. There should be starter, who
will also referee the game.
There are many possible variations
to add excitement and try skill, as for
Instance requiring the savers to dekin
off their clothes (or some of them)
after the starting signal is given.

SCOUTING KEEPS BOY BUSY.

Conservation of our natural re-
sources is universally approved, but
Of what value would material re-
sources be unless we conserve the
moral, intellectual and physical future
Of the coming generation?
Prevention is recognized as better
and less expensive than cure. The
boy scout movement takes the boy at
that time of life when he Is beset with
the new and bewildering experiences
of adolescence and diverts his thoughts
therefrom to wholesome and worth
while activities. In this manner this
character-building movement has done
much In numerous cities to diminish
the problem of juvenile delinquency.
We are at war. War brings a re-
taxation of moral fiber, which is dis
astrous to our youth unless Offset by
powerful positive influences. Scout
ing is just such a powerful, positive
counteracting influence. Its program
offers the essential antidote for these
poisons Of war.

quickly out on the walk by the corner
of the house. The heavy ball struck
her on the forehead and she fell heav-
lily, without a moan.
