 SENDS WORD TO
 YOUNG AMERICA
He Declares That Lesson of the Present War Is Preparedness Above
 All Else.
DETROIT, Mich. June 27.

DETROIT, Mich, June 27. = A
 Fourth of July message to American boys from Lord Northcliffe, British
 publisher and journalist, urging
 them to Get prepared; keep pre-
 pared" in the event that the war continues so long that they will be
 called upon to fight, was made pub lie here today.
 "The lesson of this great war is
 preparedness" said Lord Northcliffe in his message, which will appear
 in the July issue of The American Boy, published here. Now it may
 be-God grant that it may bel
 that you American boys of 1918 shall not be called to go forth to a foreign land and fight beside your fathers and brothers and the men of military age in Britain and France for world freedom and jus tice to the weak as well as the strong. We hope this war will end in victory long before you can be called to the flag. But my messa ge
 to you is to remember that no man
 knows what tomorrow will bring forth
 "A great many of you millions of American boys are close to man.
 hood now, and to many such boys
 may fall even yet the task of 'go-
 ing over to help your men and ours to win the war on the field
 of hn
 jority, of the American soldiers al
 ready in the field-sturdy, brave chaps were boys like yourselves only a short time ago. And just
 as they march to the front with 9 glad heart and song on their lips and a great and solemn VOW to carry on for victory, whatever the cost, so will you if the opportunity comes.
 But my message is "prepared- ness' to you does not mean only that you will be prepared to go and fight when the call comes. Pre- paredness means that you can help now. Do your bit, whether it is gathering kindling so that your father will have more money to buy Liberty Bonds, or looking after the baby so that your mother may go out and sew for the Red Cross. Dc your bit, if it means giving up sweets and movies and useless spend- ing of money to help Uncle Sam by
 buying thrift stamps, by running errands for the Red Cross, or by splitting wood for the widow whose son is fighting over there.
 "Let this Fourth of July have a
 new significance to you-let it mean
 more than ever before. Let it i'm
 press on you that the American boy and the British boy will stand to-
 gether for all time in a common bond-'chums and faithful compan
 ions against the foes of right and
 liberty"

NAUGHTY HOTEL PORTER HUMRLED
 BY THE KING

ROME, June p. - One naughty hotel porter of Rome was hum bled on the occasion of the recent visit of King Nicholas of Montene- gro to his daughter, Queen Helena of Italy. Uncle Nicholas" as he likes to be called by the people of Rome, came incognito and wore a plain business suit, instead of his national costume.
 Calling at one of the leading ho- tels, the King asked the porter to take him to the Baron Romano Avezzano, formerly Italian Minister to Montenegro.
 "Who shall l say wants to see the Baron," casually inquired the porter, looking at the white-haired old King, with the naughty stare of porters who are trying to protect distinguished persons.
 "The King of Montenegro" an swered the old gentleman, smiling good naturedly."

ARE NOW DRYING MANY KINDS OF
 VEGETABLES
Some Pointers Furnished by the Food Adminis- trator for the Busy
 Housewife.

Four methods of preserving offer themselves, for consideration. First there is canning, without heat Rhu barb, particularly, lends itself to this method The stalks may be washed and cut but not skinned, necessarily, and packed into jars. Place tho jars under cold water tap and fill them completely allow , ing all bubbles to escape. Then ad just the covers quickly and the win ter pies and sauces will attest to the effectiveness of this method , Beans may be put down in salt. Fresh, young beans may be cut into half-inch lengths and packed in stone jar, with layers of beans al ternating with layers of coarse, fine , salt Layers of beans should be one and one-half inches, with one half inch of salt, and salt in an inch layer top and bottom. Weight them down with plate to help the brine form. One advantage of this method is that the layers may be added from day to day.
 Drying vegetables and fruit may be done at home, but with the ever increasing number of commedcial drying establishments and the great CT variety of things dried this does not seem an advantageous way to handle fruits or vegetables for Ju- neau housewife. There are now nine companies putting up dehydrat
 ed fruits and vegetables West of
 he Rocky Mountains. Anyone of
 them will furnish samples of con
 siderable size upon request, sent c.
 ). D. upon request. They are
 drying sweet potatoes, sliced white
 potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots,
 beets, peas. string beans so that
 with care in cooking they cannot
 be distinguished from the fresh.
 Spinach, turnips. onions, cauliflower,
 squash, pumpkins and parsnips are
 also being dried Luncheons in some
 of the big hotels have been held to
 test these products and there has
 been universal surprise exprehssed
 as to their palalability and oftimes
 their superiority to the canned arti-
 cles. In our case where so much
 canned stuff is imported the saving
 in freight space. coal, and carriers
 must be evident.

SULzER PLAYS BASEBALL WITH DEMOCRATS AGAIN AIaSka's Delegate Is Mem- Der of Democratic Con-
 greSSiOnaI Team
 Once More.
SCORES ONE R U N
SuIzer Gets One of Runs Made by Democrats in
 Game with Repub|i-
 cans for Red Cross

 again a member of the Democratic Congressional baseball team, and par ticipated in the game with the Re publicans played June Sth, which was witnessed by President and Mrs. Wilson, Vice President and Mrs. Mar shall and most of the Cabinet off cers and members of the Senate and House of Representatives. He played in both the left and right fields and scored one of the five runs made by the Democratic side. MT. Sulzer played with the team a year ago. At that time his name appeared among the substitutes, and he was put into the game about the time it was half over
 Republicans Win Game For the second time in more than dozen years the Republicans won victory this year, though the Wash ington papers say another game is to be played, and, if the Democrats should win, that would necessitate third game. The Democrats sui fered by the absence of their cap tain and manager, Representative Pat Harrison, of Mississippi who this year is down in his home State contesting with Senator Vardaman for seat in the Senate. The Dem ocratic star, Representative Marvin Jones of Texas, was also disabled, by injuring a finger while in prac- tice, and out of the game. Red Cross Gets Receipts
 The game was played under the auspices of the Congressional Wo mems Red Cross organization, and the receipts went to the Red Cross. Representative James V. McClintic of Oklahoma represented the Demo crats in the negotiations and Repre- sentative Sidney E. Mudd of Mary land represented the Republicans.
 SuIzer Has Good Eye
 The Washington papers contained pictures of the two teams. The paragraph in which the Post tells of the run made by Delegate Sulzer follows
 "The Democrats annexed a pair of runs in the second. After Mudd had started strong by whiting Whaley and Delaney, Bankhead beat Morin to the bag on his roller to first. Sulzer strolled to first on four wide ones. Sterling hit to Mudd, and the Republican pitcher, just to show that his arm was as good as ever, fired the ball ten feet over Morins head macadamizing the way home for Bankhead and Sulzer."
 The Lineup
 The batting order of the teams follows:
 Democrats-Sterlin catcher and third base; Gard, left field and right field; Webb. shortstop; Rouse, first base; McClintic. catcher and pitcher; Whaley, second base; Delaney, pitch CT and third base; Bankhead, center field; Sulzer, right field and left field. Several substitutes were worked, and Lunn famed out when he was substituted at bat for Bank head
 epublicans-Lufkin, second base; Fuller, shortstop; Johnson, catcher; Mudd pitcher; Morin, first base Dennison, right field; Waldo, first base; Anderson, center field; Miller, left field; Sanders, right field, and Farr, left field.
 The final score was: Republicans 19 and Democrats 5.

have to be appropriated, aliocated and
raised, and finally all Of the detail for
the actual construction or mainten-
ance OF the roads arranged. The last
step in itself involves tremendous prob
lens. II bids are invited as in the past,
very little work will be let Contractors
will not take all OF the risk OF the
present rising and uncertain material
and labor markets. The states, where
they have not now legal authority.
must secure legislation TO permit the
tting Of cost-pms-ilxed-fee or similar
contracts, or to allow the work to be
done by force account.
Even If the definition should come
today the time Is all too short for the
best handling Of these tremendous
problems Fortunately the definition
need not be complicated. Three ele-
ments are necessary:
First, recognition of the necessity for
the maintenance and construction or
those highways which will relieve rail-
road congestion and which are neces-
sary for the most effective prosecution
OF the war.
Second, recognition Of bond issues for
roads Of the type described in the pre-
ceding paragraph as essential war a.
nancing.
Third, announcement that upon ap-
proval Of DESIGNATED Federal agencies,
railroad cars will be forthcoming for
the transportation Of the construction
and maintenance materials and ma
chinery needed for war-necessity roads.
OF course, such declaration VIII
need later elaboration, but once the
policy is clear, there are recognized
agencies Of the government, such as
the ONCE Of Public Roads and
the Highways Transport Committee,
throuch which this elaboration can
readily and logically be made For ex-
ample, there must be machinery for
passing upon the prosrams for war
road construction and maintenance.
Definite procedure will need TO be es-
tablished for the approval Of bond ilo-
tations and for securing railroad ac-
commodatons for the construction
materials and equipmeft All these de-
tails viii logically and necessarily fol-
low a simple declaration on the three
main points.
Fortunately. the highway program
for the season Of 1918 is now in the
hands Of one man. The present uncer-
tainty Is due to the cOuragement OF
bond issues and to the shortage Of
railroad equipment. The financial ques-
tion Is determined by the Secretary OF
the Treasury, the other by the head Of
our railroad system These two posi-
tions are now combined In one man,
Mr.. McAdoO We have no doubt that
once he finds the time, amid his eX-
ceedingly pressing duties, 10 put his
mind on the matter. the declaration for
which highway departments in forty
eight states are waiting will be quickly
