CANNING INSTRUCTIONS
GIRLS IN AGRICULT TURAL CLUB RECEIVED
DIPLOMAS FOR WORK.

Several inquiries have come to me
in regard to the canning of chicken
and other meats. The Department OF
Agriculture does not advocate the
canning of these without a steam
pressure cooker because in ordinary
canning operations you do not exceed
the temperature Of PIP degrees. This
pressure cooker operating upon the
principle OF cooking with steam under
pressure is enabled to secure any de-
sired temperature using as high as 80
lbs. pressure. On account Of the
danger OF ptomaine poisoning when
the meat is not sufficiently cooked we
cannot recommend any other method.
The Gamer is very easily operated
and can can any meats in an hours
time. If you wish to try this method
have at my office in the Times Build
ing, a cooker which will be glad to
loan free of charge to any one in the
county, providing 1 am not needing it
for demonstration work.

Facing Difficulty

THE successful hlibuster of perverted mi
norty in the United States Senate will test
the resourcefulness of the administration in
Washington. The defeat of urgent appro-
priation bills by a handful of untamed par
tisans has compelled the railroad admins
tration and the Treasury Department to re-
sort TO every cEpcdient within the bounds of
law to avert 4 national disaster 1t is re-
assuring to find that the government is able
TO rise TO the occasion. \ crisis was faced
when the Senate adjourned without provid-
ing for the vital needs of the American
transportation system. Strong men every
where tremblcd. They understood the de-
oiltated state OF the country and the terri
tying possibilities OF spark that might start
confiagration Their first impulse was one
of condemnation OF the President for lcay-
ms the country at such time, but they
could not charge him with a responsibility
which they knew did not and should not
rest upon him.
The nation had right to turn to the men
who are left by Mr.. Wilson 10 deal with
problems Of the government for action. Com
plants and abuse and illumination lcveled at
the hllDustcrs were Of no use. Talk was of
no avail 1t was action which the coun-
try demanded, and it action which came
swiftly and successfully TO the rescue of
the railroads and the vast interests behind
the railroads. Means were found to finance
the transportation lines. The War Finance
Corporation was turned to. The full re-
sources Of that governmental agency were
placed at the disposal of the railroad adj
ministration. The banks wore Informed
quietly that in an emergency they might be
called upon TO absorb short-term notes.
Railroad labor was assured that il would
not be allowed TO suffer railroad contract
ors were advised that they might proceed
with their work. Men aud women every
where who might be entitled to interest or
dividends from the railroads werc told that
they would not be deprived Of their return.
These steps were taken within twenty four
hours OF the astounding action of tho Sen
ate, but they were not taken without period
OF acute uncertainty OF depression and of
threatened calamity to tho whole nation.
Even now the whole problem has not boon
met. Much more is ahead. but enough has
been accomplished and promised to offer a
! reasonable safeguard against u financial m
heava' and 10 show that tho government can
! he depended upon TO minimize as far as nos
| siblc tho blighting effects Of the Senatc's
| attempt at railroad stranguation.

Itnly Should Reconsider

THE Italian government should take Sc
riously tho warning which Washington has
given it against interference in the delivery
Of food supplies from this country TO the
Jugo-Slavc peoples along the Adriatic shores.
The action taken by this government was
not considered lightly, nor did the peace coun
Gil in Paris give its approval of that action
without thorough understanding of the
blundcr RomC has been led to commit.
American food stores destined to the Slavs
arc not subject 10 any embargo which Italy
may feel inclined TO lay. Any blockade of
tho now nations by Italian decree must have
unfavorablo consequences for the Italians
The best friend perhaps tho only sincere
friend-ltaiy has in support OF its Adriatic
claims is tho United States This government
has looked with moro or less sympathy upon
the natural desire of Italy to safeguard its
frontiers we'll us to redeem its oppressed
nationals in tho Trcntino and upon the Istrian
Peninsula. Franco has frowned upon ltaly's
aspirations from the start. Great Britain
has been inclined to take the French view,
and only America. among the great powers,
left to champion the designs of the
Italians.
At that. the American peace commissioners
have not gone TO the length Of supporting
ltaly's demand for the Dalmatian coast. TO
do so obviously would rob the Juso-Slavs of
all access to the Adriatic and would force
the new nation to turn to the .Egcan for
outlet for its commerce, thereby rendering
1t impossible for it to have an immediate
relationship with the trade OF Western Eu-
rope. Italy, it seems, must soon or late
give up the dream of controlling the whole
Adriatic coast. and without the good will Of
the United States it may find itself bcreft
of tho valuable ports Of Pola and Fiumc.
Italy's quarrel with the Slavs, therefore, is
particularly unfortunate, the moro SO at a
time when it is striving desperately to main
tain claims which only one of its war as
socatcs at this time is willing to advocate
1t should not forfeit America S good will. II
should not allow the Cnmity which most OF
its people feel for the Slavs to lead it into
any position which America must condemn.
To do SO would be sbortsightcdness Of the
worst sort, and would convict tho Italian
government of a suicidal policy.
The Jugo-Slavs have not yet demonstrated
their capacity for sclf-government. They
have proceeded only a short distance toward
the formation Of league among themselves
worthy Of a place among the nations OF
Europe. But they must not be denied a full
and free opportunity to organize union
They are entitled TO the same chance that
the allies gave the Czecho-Slovaks, and Italy
mnst not be allowed to interfere. Least of
all should Italy be permitted to lay starva-
ton blockade against the struggling peoples
of the Near East. Such supplies as this
country sends TO the Slavs must go forward
and the Italian government need not be re-
minded second time that it will be dan
gerous for it to throw itself in the way.
