of sculpture have been contributed to the
capital.
The article under comment proceeds:
"Borglum is a nany-sided man. He pre-
sents the rather unusual figure in America
of artist who has taken wide interest
in public affairs. He has upheld the theory,
a commonplace in continental Europe, that
an artist need not be divorced from bust
ness and politics.

"A Simple Home Made Sun
Dryer for Fruits and
Vegetables

GUN drying is undoubtedly the SIM
~ plest and most inexpensive method
of preparing fruits and vegetables for
winter, storing. A simpler dryer that can
be made at small cost consists of a
shallow box with a sash or piece of
glass fitted over the top. Bore holes
in the sides and near the top and bot
tom for ventilation, but cover them
carefully with netting to keep out flies
and mosquitoes.
Set the box at an angle so that the
suns rays fan directly on the glass.
Apples, peaches, apricots, cherries, rasp-
berries and almost all fruits can be
dried in this way satisfactorily. First
wash the fruit carefully, dscarding any
that show signs of being overripe or
decaying. Slice thin, and lay out in the
box without overlapping the slices. Turn
the slices occasionally and take them out
as they dry. The only things to guard
against in this type Of dryer are dust
and insects.-Popular Science Monthly.

California Puts Idle Land
to Work

COLONIZATION in California is be-
~ ing pushed by the state on a 5000
acre tract, purchased recently, near
Chico. The state proposes to provide
the settler not only with land, but will
erect simple, modern houses, barns, silos
and other necessary buildings, payments
to be made on an instalment plan, with
terms that may be met easily. One-third
of the investment must be paid at the
start, but twenty-five to thirty-six years
time is given to pay the balance. The
prime requisite is loyal patriotic cit
izen not holding land in any other part
of the state. Plans are made to invest
at least 100000 in the project at the
start.--Emgineeria Neacs-Record.

On that day the American army went into
the trenches for good; on that day the
United States took over q sector of the long
battle line in France. 1t is very small
sector as yet, but it will grow-it is grow

line. 1t starts on beach of the North Sea
at Newport, in the last little corner of free
Belgium; it runs then south (soon entering
France) along the following towns approx
imately (some of the towns I name are
one side of the line, on the other),
thus: Nieuport, Ypres, Lens, Arras, Com
bles, Peronne. Gradually it inclines east

Saint Quentin (held by the Germans), Laon

frankly east to Verdun (every one knows

does queer trick. 1t goes southwark for
twenty miles to little town called Saint
