KENOSHA PEOPLE
WITNESS GUN PLAY
Capture of Two Jewelry Store Robbers
by Milwaukee Police Officers Puts
Thrill Into Trip.

Half score of Kenosha people who
happened to be coming out of Milwau-
kee on Tuesday night had real thrill
put into the trip when police officers
invaded the North Shore car Just be-
fore it got to the south limits of Mil
waukee and arrested two men who were
wanted for daring holdup of a jewel
ry store in Milwaukee. The men had
boarded the car just after the holdup
and the police officers who had made
run with an automobile came just ten
minutes later. Then the excitement
came and guns were very much in evil
dence on the part of the robbers and
the police. No shots were fired as the
Milwaukee police officers hurriedly got
the men under arrest and hustled them
off the car. A part of the loot from
the jewelry store was found with the
men in the electric car.

Inquiries by the departments investi-

Unemployment and family interests
were said to be important factors in

SINKING SHAFT
NORTH OF BAXTER


Oklahoma parties, under the direc-
ton of Blinco Shockley, are having a
shaft sunk on forty acre lease two
and one-half miles directly north Of
the city,, the land belonging to P. H.
Puckett. It is reported that the ground
was tested out with fifteen drill holes
and that an exceptionally good run
of jack was located. The work is
progressing nicely at this time and
we understand that the company is
well financed and intends to get into
the producing Class as soon as pos
sible. In connection with this project
it is interesting to note that it is the
furtherest to the north Of the city Of
any property yet to be developed,
though considerable drilling has been
going on north Of the city with good
results. With mines directly south of
town and with more or less continuous
ore runs to the west in a semi-circle
to the Puckett property, Baxter
Springs will be just one-half sur
rounded with ore.

THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON

The Presbyterian church was filled
to its capacity last night, the occasion
being the baccalaureate address by
Rev. j. w. Pearce. 1t was a union
service of the local churches. On the
platform were Rev. Garretson, Rev
Williams, of the Christian church.
Rev. o. L. 0rton, of the Methodist
and Rev. Peorce of the Baptist. The
graduating class of six, attired in
their graduating caps and gowns, and
Supt. Rhine, also occupied platform
seats. The music consisted of singing
by the choir, which was exceptionally
good, solo by Mrs. Hazel Cammack,
a school sextette and the male quar-
tette. Rev. Pearce's theme was "a
Successful Life" He explained that
success" was word of Greek origin,
and really meant, ITO get under" In
English to Ego under" is to fail, but
the Geeks' meaning was to "get un-
der" a purpose and carry it through
to accomplishment. That is success
and it matters not much what the un-
dertaking, if it is honorable and bene-
fetal to society as well as ourselves, if
we "get under" and accomplish our
object we shall have won success, Real
success comes not from accumulation
of wealth, but in making the world
better for having lived in it, and this
an be won only by acknowledging
Christ as the great wayshower, and
conscientiously trying to follow His
example in our intercourse with our
fellow men.

BOY POWER NEEDED
FOR FARMS OF KANSAS

Topeka, Kan, May &C. w
Green, Federal State Director for the
United States Boys Working Reserve
is planning through the farm agents
of the state and others to help solve
the farm labor problem Of Kansas by
placing on Kansas farms where need
ed Kansas high school boys who have
enrolled in the United, States Boys
Working Reserve, and who have as
yet not obtained employment for the
summer months. These boys are over
is and under II, and in most cases
have been given some intensive farm
training under the auspices Of the
United States Boys Working Reserve.
According to the most reliable re-
ports" said Mr.. Green today, "Kansas
will need in excess Of 100000 extra
hands to take care Of the harvest
work alone. Many Of the boys en-
rolled in the Boys Working Reserve
are sufficiently mature for harvest
work, while others can drive teams,
run tractors, and do chores generally
thereby releasing for the heavier
work seasoned and experienced hands.
In this way we expect to be of posi-
tive help to the farmers during the
coming summer months. While most
of our boys are already employed, or
have their employment definitely in
view, yet the Reserve has a limited
list Of boys enrolled in the Reserve
whose employment plans are not yet
completed, and I shall be glad to CO.
operate with any, farmers who may
want one or more boys for summer
work"
Farmers and others who may want
70 employ members Of the United
States Boys Working Reserve during
the summer vacation, should write at
once to C. W. Green, Federal State
Director, United States Boys Work
ing Reserve, Topeka, Kansas.

syrup, then pack closely in jars, covel
with syrup and process twenty min

Cherries may be stoned or not
Many people prefer the flavor Of the
unstoned fruit. These are, packet
solidly and the jars filled with No
8 or 4 syrup, and then prOcessed fol
twenty minutes.
With plums You may or may not re-
move pits; this fruit if not pitted
should be blanched about two min
utes, then packed. The time or pro
cessing for plums is 20 to Is minutes
Many of the small fruits, as black
berries and logan berries are cooked
in q heavy syrup in the open kettle
then sealed. All the small fruit
shrinks very much in the process Of
sterilization and cooking the fruit in
a heavy syrup allows you to put q
greater quantity into jar.
Pears Are Pared
Pears are usually pared then
bIanched for 2 minutes, cold dipped
and packed, using a medium syrup,
20 minutes being needed for the pro-
cessing. Large peaches and pears are
attractive when done in halves, al
though there is considerable waste in
the jars. II always pays to put up
a few jars Of this kind, however, for
special occasions, but much more
fruit can be packed If quartered or
cut in even smaller sections.
Many hOusekeepers have trouble in
estimating the number Of cans which
can be filed from q certain amount of
fruit. With berries it is possible to
obtain thirty-quart jars closely packed
to the bushel; with pears and peaches,
If canned in large sections, about
fOrty-fye quarts to the bushel, redpe-
ing the number as you decrease the
size. of. the sections. Apricots and
plums are usually about forty quarts
to the bushel.
Many people think It is necessary to
can fruits with sugar but the war
period showed rs that we eOuld de
otherwise. Fruit can be properly
sterilized and preserved without,
sugar. Most Of US prefer the flavor
Of the sugar product; while the color

Women Expert Tells How
To Can Small Fruits Now
In Season at Easy Prices

Some canning experts use a pound Of
sugar to a quart of liquid. This makes
product very rich in flavor.
Strawberries Shrink
Strawberries are another fruit
which is done early and which may be
canned in a light or heavy syrup.
Strawberries shrink a great deal in
canning, and they also lose their at
tractive color. They must be closely
packed in the containers and cooked
only. q short time The berries-and
this applies to blackberries, raspber-
ries and so On-muSt be washed a few
at a time and packed into the jars,
packing closely, and then covering
with a No. 3 or No. 4 syrup. Place
rubber and top and process 20 minutes
in the hot-water bath.
A very desirable strawberry prod
uct is made in this way: Allow III
pounds of sugar to 2 pounds Of ber-
ries and u cup Of water or fruit
juice. Cook the sugar and water to-
gether for about s minutes, add the
hulled and washed fruit; cook for 6
minutes and pour directly into sterile
jars, sealing at once; or the berries
may be poured into shallow pans and
allowed to stand over night, they will
absorb considerable syrup and become
plump.
In the morning I'LL the sterile
glasses and add the syrup.
Canning Aprieots
G. v. Gray recommends the follow
ing method for strawberries: Make
syrup Of 1 cup Of sugar and X cup
Of water for each quart Of berries.
Pack the cleaned berries in the jar.
Boil the syrup slowly for Is minutes,
pour It over the fruit, and process for
10 minutes.
Apricots are washed and pitted,
packed into jars and covered with a
No. 4 syrup and prOeessed for 10 or ~
minutes. Peaches should have the
skin removed and usually there Is q
greater economy in cutting the fruit

Syrups to Be Used and
How Berries Are Put
Up Are Told
By RUTH MICHAELs,
Dean of Home Economies, A. & M.
University Of Oklahoma.

Last week we discussed the general
rules Of canning, and this week we
will discuss the canning Of some
fruits. With a plentiful supply OF
fruit in the market, the hOusekeeper
should put up enough for more than
one year. With some fruits, such as
pineapple, we find that unless the
fruit is very cheap, the commercially
canned product in as good and cheap
er than the hOme-prepared one. How
ever, If you wish to can pineapple
shall be glad to give you these points.
Firm fruit should be selected and cut
in slices about one-hah inch in thick
ness, then pare these slices. Blanch
the slices in a covered dish Of boiling
water for five minutes, then pack into
prepared jars. Use the blanching
water which contains much Of the
pineapple flavor for making the syrup.
Cover the fruit with the syrup, adjust
the rubbers and covers and sterilize in
hot water bath for thirty minutes. All
Of the fruits require syrup for the
packing medium and this table from
Powell shows the amount to use:
Syrup No. LA OF. sugar to l
gallon water.
Syrup No. 2-1 h., IL OF. sugar
70 gallon water.
Syrup No. S-3 lbs, 9 OF. sugar
TO ! gallon water.
Syrup No. Is lbs., 8 OF. sugar
20 / gallon water.

ar to / gallon water.
Hot water is used for these syrups
and the water and sugar boiled to-
gsther until the sugar is dissolved.
For pineapple, We often use syrup
Nos. 4 or 5, or one even heavier.

culties. Many pretty little flowers
came out to be chosen for the deco
rating but they are all SO pretty that
the gardener does not know which to
choose. Thru the aid of the brownies
the gardener learns that the festivities
are for the birthday of a little child.
Miss Charlein Opperman took the
part Of the gardener and as hel
daughter, Miss Kathleen Covey played
q brilliant part.
The brownies were taken from the

'NANT0N WASTE OF
.PREC|OUSW WET Gl0DS6
Hundreds Of Quarts Of joplin
Booze Emptied Into the
Sewer by Order Of
Sheriff Frazier


Hundreds of quarts of ''gOod drink
ing liquor" were poured into the sewer
at the county Jail this morning By
two prisoners under the supervision
Of County Sheriff Bob Frazier and UNI
der sheriff Cy Frazier. By actual
count, seventy-hve sacks Of beer and
thirty-fve sacks of whiskey flowed Oh
into the cess pools Of the city.
Pete Brown, Of Baxter, who is being
detained for a period Of time at the
county Jail for violation Of the bone
dry law, was the man who poured the
"wet goods" into the sewer. Pete said
that was the worst punishment that
he had ever undergone. A sewer OPEN
ing which was installed in the base
ment Of the Jail for the purpose Of
disposing of the forbidden stimulant
gave forth tempting odors, as the
foam rose from the beer as It gurgled
off into the sewer.
The beer was Of all varieties and
brands, ranging all the way from that
labeled 4.46 per cent alcohol to thu.
kind made now, which has the appear
ance of weak tea. Some Of the beer
has lain in the cellar of the jail for
several months, awaiting the convic-
ton or acquittal of those who ran the
risk Of bringing it into Kansas.
The brands of whiskey ranged all
the way from the bottled in bond,
eight year old, variety to Italian Bit
ters, and the acknowledgements
kind that is now being sold by the
bootleggers in Kansas.
II. any one does not believe that
booze which is stored temporary at
the county Jail, is not being disposed
of according to law, by Sheriff Fra
zier, he should visit the cellar Of the
jail and look over the thousands Of
empty bottles which are piled in q
cell.
Thousands Of bottles bear mute wit
ness to the fact that few booze haul
ers safely run the gauntlet in Chero-
kee county and escape the vigil Of
Sheriff Frazier. Stored back in a dark
cerner of the cellar are thousands Of
bottles of whiskey stacked to the
ceiling in gunny-sacks waiting the or
der from the court to be destroyed.
Ten barrels of beer which are stored
in one room were taken from N. 0.
G. G. train running from Joplin to
Oklahoma about a year ago. The men
who were arrested at the time haIDg
never been tried and the beer win not
be destroyed until the case is settled.
In one room there are hundreds OF
gunny sacks which were used BY
booze haulers to bring whiskey into
the state. There are also twelve
empty barrels which once contained
wet goods.-Columbus Advocate.
