Dry Fruits and Vegetables

"They propose now to 'de-hy-
drate vegetables and fruits for
shipment to armies in France" re-
marks Editor Jordan in the Punta
Gorda Herald. "Why didn't the
food sharps say dry them. You
can dry apples, peaches, okra, l.
IRISH potatoes and hundred other
vegetables and fruits, pack them
in small compass and ship them to
the ends of the earth. Southern
housewives have known these
things for a hundred years or
more. +" The scientific name no
doubt adds impressiveness to the
efforts Of the food administration
printed matter and talks, and
some of the housewives who have
mt known anything as long as
Editor Jordan suggests, will be
more interested in the de-hydrat-
ing processes than if it was called
merely drying. For a good many
years, probably, Florida has not
given much attention to drying
fruit or vegetables. There has al
ways appeared to be plenty of
fresh stuff, and it does taste bet
ter and look better than the dried
things. This year it is likely that
a great many people will give at
tentiOn to drying the stuff, and it
will come in handy, most likely, if
the long shelves in the grocery
stores show but here and there
can or jar of canned and preserved
foods and the trains no longer
bring green stuff from elsewhere.

advertising pay even better than
has California.
In connection with the problem
of Florida's advertising a well
posted student of the situation re-
Gently said:
"The sum Of $4,000 sounds
large to some persons; but trans
lated into actual advertising it
means only single page of adver-
tisement, without colors and on
the inside of the paper, in five is
sues of the Saturday Evening
Post.
cat the regular price of $4,000
per page per issue, those five pages
would consume the entire appro-
priation. In the big daily newspa-
pers of the North, at $500 and
81, 900 per page, it will not go very
far either.
"With California spendin g
more than twelve dollars to Flori-
da s one, it must be expected that
her selling organization be able to
make many thousands of persons
in the North ask for California
fruit in preference to any Other"
California grapefruit really
can not compete with the Florida
product, so the grapefruit cam
paign is really separate from any
competitive effort. However, not
withstanding the great increase in
recent years of the use of grape
fruit in the North, there are yet
many thousands Of families there
capable of buying grapefruit but
on whose tables it is practically
unknown.
The campaign next fall and win
tier will be educational in char
acter, and intended to popularize
the use of grapefruit in the terri
tory to be covered.

WHEN HE COMES HOME.

(My Boy from France.) Twill seem like spring to me when he comes home, { Ere though soft snowflakes fill the air, For in my heart sweet birds will sing, The glad flowers bloom most every where. It seemed to lonely since he went away, Each day I've missed him in thou sand things, Whilst every hour my thoughts would stray, Where he was. Love needs not anything. Twill seem like hope and love were each my own, When he that is my cherished lad returns And Life and Time that slow have grown With Youth and Haste the hours will burn So humbly proud-so favored will be, With this dear one, so dearly old yet strangely new, That every day will Springtime seem to be, And joy will light each task that l must do!

Range and Market News Pertaining Industry of Arizona Market Letter for the Past Week.

"The size of the haystacks will rep resent the number of animals in many of the cow outfits next spring." says R. H. Williams, Animal Husbandman of the University of Arizona. Con- ditions are more serious for the feed has dried up and heavy losses will be sustained. Even if cattle are shipped to market or to pastures certain loss will be inevitable. In order to reduce this loss to a minimum it is best to maintain the stock on their home range and ship cotton seed cake to them. This can be secured from the various cotton oil mills. The cake alone given in quantities of one to three pounds day, would be suffi- cient to tide cows over the drought if they can secure browse, water and salt along with it. Some roughage should be used where there is no browse"

but because the country was in
 danger and was due. I am due
 today, and I have made it known
 by my vote"
 Contrast Between 1918 and 1898.
 So, too, in the present critical per- iod, the Republicans in congress have placed patriotism above party. They realized even earlier than the Dem- ocratic leaders that their country was in danger and that they were "due." Their record, as shown by the roll calls in congress since war was declared to exists between the United States and Germany, conclusively proves their pa- triotism. It is a patriotism which has found expression in their votes.
 Despite the efforts of Democratic leaders to capitalize the war by mak- ing it appear to be Democratic par tisan affair, and despite their refusal to permit the Republicans to sit in the councils which frame war policies, the Republican minority in both branches of congress, have seen fit to submerge partisanship and to overlook the mar row partisan attitude of the Demo- cratic leaders.
 This is a striking contrast to the record made by the Democratic mi nority during the Spanish-American war. Then the minority party was a party of opposition to all war meas ures and policies. For that reason Col. Roosevelt and former president Benjamin Harrison were justified, in the campaign of 1898, in urging the voters to refuse to turn the control of congress over to the Democratic party. But it is perfectly clear there is not the slightest parallel between the attitude of the Democratic minor ity in congress during the Spanish American war and the attitude of the Republican minority in congress now.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Oct. 21.-Cattle receipts today were 30,000 head, about the same as on Monday last week, market on beef steers steady, nothing choice here, cows 10 to 25 lower, stockers and feeders strong. Hog supply was 14,- 900, market 10 to 15 lower, top ST. 50. Sheep receipts were 17,000, mar ket steady to 15 higher, bestawestern lambs worth $15.50.
 Beef Cattle Price Declines.
 A reduction of 18,000 in the supply last week from that previous was more than offset by smaller demand from all sources, prices declined 25 to 50 cents on steers and 50 to 75 cents on COWS. Some of the commission men believe prices last week were not justified by conditions and look for a quick reaction. In the mean time, two or three lots of strictly prime steers Tn Kansas City territory are worth around 19 cents, otherwise fed cattle are quotable at $11.50 to S17.00, grass steers $9.50 to $14.00, this last class including a large num- Der of good Colorado beef steers in the last week at S10.50 to $12.50. Low grade steers sell as canners, down to $6.5O. Cows declined on all grades and grass cows now sell at $6.50 to S9.25, including Colorados, Panhan- dies, New Mexicos and Arizonas. Canning cows sell at S5.40 to $500, calves strong today at S6.50 to $12.50,
 Stockers and Feeders Steady.
 The market declined 25 to 75 cents first half of last week, and large number of buyers were scared off by peace talk, but new buyers arrived after Wednesday and the week closed up better, especially on good stockers. There was fairly large number held over from last week, but sales today are steady to strong, feeders at $9 to S13.25, stockers S6.50 to $11.50.
 Hogs Lower.
 Best hogs sold 10 lower today, but heavy packing hogs are 15 to 25 low CT. Buyers claim heavy packing hogs have been materially above Chicago and while a much smaller percentage of the supply here runs to that class the price declined 50 to 75 cents on them in the last week. Choice me dium and heavy hogs under 270 lbs sold up to $17.50 today, best lights $17.30, bulk of sales S16.60 to $17.30 Stock pig trade was strong and ac- tive last week with prices up to $17 but since Friday, there has been a re- versal and sales today were largely at S15.50 to S16.00.
 Sheep and Lambs Strong.
 Receipts of westerns continues lib- eral and the market has been steady with some strong spots during the last week. Choice western lambs are quotable up to $15.50 and best nat ives $15.00, bulk of the killing lambs selling at SIS to S14.75. There was a large number of feeder buyers in the yards all of last week and today, and feeding lambs are little stronger at S12.75 to $13.50 for best westerns. Fat ewes bring s7.50 to $950, feeding ewes S6 to S7.50, western breeders $9 to s14, choice eve lambs $15 to $16.
