Some years ago Jessie Field, of
shenandoah. then serving as county
superintendent of the Page county
schools, made a national reputation
because of her interest in rural
schools and rural activities. She had
ia superb organization among rural pll-
pills and won popular approval so
much so that she became a national
figure and was finally appointed to rur
al school extension work by the gov
ernment. She was elected national
secretary of Y. w. C. A. for county
and small town work In 1912. Her in-
terests are especially in the develop
ment of country life. She is the au-
thor of numerous magazine articles
and "The Corn Lady" member of the
national educational association. She
is especially interested in the teach
ing of agriculture and home ecOnom-
les in country schools and is interest
ing country children in the possibii-
ties of country life that they may de-
sire to remain in the country. Recent
ly she gave 200 gold fish to the Junior
Y. w. CA. to be sold and the proceeds
to go to the furtherance Of the work.
She is now the wife of Ira Shambaugh
of Clarinda. Last spring Mrs. Sham
baugh put three gold fish into her
pond at her residence in West Cla-
rinlai TheN multiplied until they
produced 200, which she took from
the pond in the fall to keep from
freezing.
Various reports are in circulation

year ago last May cyclone swept
over Floyd county. South of Charles
City the Pierson farm home was de.
molished and Mrs. Pierson was not
able afterwards to locate her diamond
engagement ring. After number of
dilisent searches had been made the
case was regarded as hopeless. Re.
Gently as Mr.. Pierson was working
about the corn crib he found the miss
ing article lying at his feet in the dirt
as good as new.
The government of Rhineland in
Germany is to be by high commits
sion composed Of representatives from
French. English, Belgian and A:neri-
can military units. Lieut.. A. R. Baker.
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Baker, of
Waterloo, has been selected as the
American representative and will be
stationed at Kies, Germany He
speaks the German language fluently
He has been overseas several months,
going over with Co. B of the First
Iowa infantry. The real work of this
commission will not begin until the
peace treaty is signed. At that time
Lieut.. Baker will be transferred from
the war department service to the
state department ranks. This really
means his permanent transfer to the
diplomatic service.
A southern Iowa family had an un-
usual experience at Keokuk recently
They drove the automobile into Rands
Park, took we'll filed baskets to a
shady nook and proceeded to place
upon the grass a fine dinner A big
bear in an enclosure in the park
scented the dinner and he began to
test the staying qualities Of the iron
bars that kept him in confinement.
One OF these gave way and here came
the bear. There was wild scramble
for the Car. the old gentleman OF the
crowd leading with his hands full of
pies, and the rest following with some
part of the feast and to add to the
panic the self starter refused to work
and the car had to be cranked with
Mr.. Bear just a few shutfleS away.
One of the women saved the day by
tossing a biscuit to the oncoming bear
land while it was eating the auto was
started. Here is another bear story.
At West Bend, in Palo Alto county, a
party of sightseers were looking at a
bear in a cage belonging to carnival
company. Among the company was a
little girl three years old who play
fully held some peanuts near the open
bars of the cage. Just as she did so
some one crowded her against the
cage and her hand was forced into the
cage. Before she could withdraw it
the bear grappled it and stripped off
the flesh and crushed the bones Of the
forearm,

| Jasper Mathews was holding revival
meetings in his tent in Scranton the
Scranton band held concert in the
street close to the tent. Someone
filed information against the band for
dis turbing the peace and Justice d. c.
Olive assessed fine of $50 against the
members OF the band The band treas
urer presented d check on which were

which was refused by the justice. Peo-
pie in town and country have taken
sides and there is most unpleasant
situation.
Sergeant Louis R. Schroeder, for
mer Waterloo boy, who enlisted in the
late war from Spokane, Wash, and
after discharge from overseas service,
lre-enlisted in the regular army, was
sent for duty on the Mexican border
where he was killed by a Mexican
sniper August Sd. When he reached
New York upon his return from
France he telegraphed his parents at
Waterloo of his safe arrival. He wait
ed for an answer--but none came. In
two weeks he received his discharge
from the service and hurried to what
had once been his home, but when he
arrived in Waterloo he was told that
all his relatives-his father, mother
two sisters, a brother and an aunt
had been taken in death by the influ-
enza epidemic. He was left absolute
ly alone in the world. Failing to get
a position that offered anything better
he decided to re-enter army life where
duty and comradeship would nerve
him to continue life's struggles, but
death completed the tragedy.
Swallowing a small piece Of tooth
pick was a blessing in disguise for
Donald Cullins of Sioux City. The
toothpick lodged in Cullin's throat
while he was at dinner. He coughed
violently, choked and nearly strangled
before the bit of wood was dislodged
from his throat. But with its removal
Cullins' voice. lost after a gas attack
during the st. Mihiel drive, had re-
turned. Cullins was gassed at St.
Mihiel Sept. IL, 1918. Since that time
he had been forced to speak only in a
husky whisper.
Intense suffering and threatened
lockjaw is the fate of Brown Seymour
of Ames. He was at work in the gar
den and in running his hand under a
bunch OF rubbish that he might remove
it he thrust the member into a rats
Inest. He was bitten to the bone on
his second finger on the right hand
and his case is puzzling the physicians
in charge. The hand is terribly swol-
len and has taken steel gray hue re-
semblng the color of the rat.

SPICE VINEGAR
GIVES GOOD
PICKLE FLAVOR

Spiced vinegar is used in making
pickles, for flavoring gravies, potato
salad, and similar dishes. For pick
ling it is especially valuable, as the
flavor from spiced vinegar is the
same all through the pickles, while if
pepper, cloves, and dill are added di-
rectly to the pickles the flavor is
more concentrated at the places
where these spices are put. The
herbs from which the spiced vinegar
is made may be used as a garnish by
mixing them in the pickle.
An excellent spiced vinegar is
made by filling a wide-mouthed bot
tie or fruit jar to within two inches
of the top with spiced plants of diff
ferent kinds, such as. slices of horse
radish and onions, umbels of dill, ripe
seed of white mustard and celery
green seed of nastultiums, fine stems
and leaves of tarragon, basil, and
sweet marjoram. A pod of red pep
per may also be added. The bottle
or jar is then filled with vinegar
heated to 160 degrees F., corkcd OF
sealed and left for about three
weeks. At the end of the three
weeks, strain the vinegar and fill in
small bottles. Cork and seal with
melted paraffin or sealing wax.

BEST SWEET
PEPPERS FOR CANNING
ARE PIMENTOS
The best sweet peppers for cam
ming are the Spanish variety known
as plmentos. The fruit of these pep
pers has very thick flesh and tough
skin and l.; comparatively smooth
and free from ridges. Bell peppers
are not suitable variety to can.
Only ripe, sound peppers free from
bruises should be. used Can the
whole peppers. The small or broken
ones may be cut into strips and can
ned or used in relishes, sauces and
soup mixtures.
Remove the seeds with a slender
pairing knife by cutting around the
stem and taking out the inside parti
tons. To peel, roast the peppers in
Il hot oven from & to 10 minutes or
until the skin blisters and cracks. DO
not allow them to scorch. Remove
skin with sharp pairing knife, fiat
ten the peppers and pack in layers
in jar which has been boiled Is
minutes. No water or seasoning
is used in the canning. The process
ing in the jar brings out a thick Ii
quor which almost covers them.
Put in place the rubber and top
which have been boiled. If a screw
top cover is used, screw about half
way on; if glass top with wire balls
put top bail in position and leave the
lower clamp unfastened. Place jars
on the false bottom in water-bath
Gamer. If the cover of the vessel in
which the processing is done is not
tight, water sufficient to cover the
jars should be put in. Boil pint jars
for 80 minutes, invert to test for
leaks and, when cool, store in a cool,
dark, dry place.
When steam-pressure Gamer is
used, process pints ten minutes under
