sUGARLEss CANNING POSSIBLE
University Professor Points Way t.,
Avoid Present Shortage.

Iowa City, Ia.-Shortage of sugar
which is being felt to a degree all
over the country, need not interfere
with the canning which remains to
be done in Iowa homes, particularly
in the canning of jellies and conserv
es, according to Prof. Ruth A. Ward
all, head of the home economics de-
partment at the State University OF
Iowa.
Either the whole fruit or the juice
may be put up without sugar to use
in making jellies next winter says
Miss Wardall, who advocates this
system with grapes and plums which
remain available for use. The fruit
or juice is used in the winter and
made up into fresh jelly little at a
time as wanted Besides saving time
and sugar now, this method will give
the jelly fresher and more de-
licious taste when it is made, she
says.
Sugar saving according to Miss
Wardall, is usually question Of eat
ing less sugar or going without it al
together, and use of sugar is largely
a matter of taste satisfaction. Wheat.
of which there is no shortage pro-
vides the same starchy food for the
system. In the matter OF canning,
however, it is sometimes possible to
delay use of sugar until winter.

Fly Wheel Accident Injuries Woman,

Mrs. Isaac Monnahan was the VIC
tim of an accident Tuesday, that re-
suited is some severe and serious
injuries. She went to the we'll house
to get some water, for the pumping
of which a gasoline engine is used
Unthinkingly she picked up a pinch
bar and in some manner this came in
contact with the spokes Of the drive
wheel of the engine.
AS for anything happening after
that Mrs. Monnahan cannot tell.
When she regained consciousness
she was at the door of the house,
but how she got there she does not
know.
The pinch-bar in it's fight had
struck her across the face. Her nose
was broken just below her eyes and
she had a deep cut in her cheek. How
long she had been unconscious is
not known, but the severe cuts prove
conclusively that she had a narrow
escape from death.
The pinch-bar was afterwards
found in the loft of the hoghouse, but
how it got there will remain one of
those mysteries that accompany acct
dents Elgin Echo.

It's Fall, Quit the Straws.

Do you wonder what an autumn
leaf thinks about? Now is the time
to ask one and find out, for autumn
officially began Tuesday, September
p, which date, day and night were
theoretically equal throughout the
world and the league of nations, with
the sun rising exactly in the east and
setting exactly in the west. Another
important feature of the date was
that it was supposed to mark the
passing Of tne straw hat into that
oblivion from which no hat returneth
until next June, when, if the price
of hats keeps on going up all old
ones in the universe win return to
duty with hop, skip and jump. The
sun is on its way south, now, it is
understood, and it won't be long till
We'll know it's so. Those with in
clinations towards California, Flori.
da and Old Mexico are already be-
ginning to wear longing chances and
resume their annual collection of
time tables. Yes, it's fall, and the
cricket is pretty blamed tired of life.

LUNATIC BREAKS WINDOWS.
Stranger Walks Thru Tana, Hurting
Bolts Into Store Windows.

Tama, Ia.-An act of vandalism
without parallel in the history of
the town was perpetrated in Tama,
when a stranger broke each OF four
large plate glass windows in the
front of j. B. Tis & Sons general
store.
The glass was broken by bolts
about four inches long and an inch
in diameter, wrapped in paper, and
one of them being thrown thru each
glass as the perpetrator walked along
the sidewalk in front of the store.
Having broken each pane the parpe-
traitor sat down on the edge of the
sidewalk and waited to be taken into
custody, telling City Marshal Guider,
when he was placed under arrest, II
am glad to see you"
He was arraigned before Mayor
HoXson on state charge, that o.
willfully, feloniously and maliciously
injuring, defacing and destroying a
building, confessed that he was gull
ty OF tne charge, and was bound
over to the grand jury under bonds
of $1,000. Not being able 10 furnish
bonds he was confined in the county
Jail.
On the hearing it developed that
the mans name is Frank SkrabaneS.
a native of Bohemia, aged As years,
that he is common laborer and that
he came to America in 1895. He al,
legged that he had escaped from
crazy houses" at st. Peter, Mimi,
and Mendoza, Wis, and said that he
would get away again if ne had t.
kill somebody to do it. His stories of
having been in insane asylums are
being investigated, altho his appear.
ance gave considerable color to his
statements.
A few hours before he broke the
glass he had made a few purchase,
in the Tins store and there had been
no expression of dissatisfaction with
his dealings. About o'clock in the
afternoon he had lunch at Corn's
restaurant and from there walked
deliberately across the street and
broke the windows. When arrested
the only excuse he offered for his
heinous offense was that everybody
was trying to poison him. On search
ing him about $40 was found on his
person.
The glass will cost about $500 to
replace. There was no insurance OH
the glass broken.
The offense of which Skrabanek
was guilty is subject to a minimum
penalty of five years in the peniten-
tiary. AS to whether he receives that
punishment or is returned 10 the in
sane asylum from which he escaped
if his story is found to be true, can
not be predicted.

Accuses Wilson of "Half Truth and

New York.-That President Will

Columbia, April II. - Governor
Cooper yesterday signed the act pass
ed at the recent session Of the general

City officials who violate the provis-

Strong pressure was brought on
Governor Cooper by Greenville, Spar

measure.
Only two other acts OF the last gen

One OF these would require telegraph

messages over the most direct routes

been suggested in different quarters
that the act is unconstitutional, and
il is likely that Governor Cooper will
call on the attorney general for an
opinion before making final dccis-

SEVEN LOAvES OF BREAD .
FOR EVERY PERSON IN
U. S. SAVED FROM WASTE
Farmers and Threshermen Patriotl-
caliy Respond to Call OF Food
Administration.

From information received by the
q. S. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, it is
now possible to with fair ac-
curacy the amount of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods of han
ding. According to official calcula.
tons, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 16,OOO,0 900 bushels Of wheat
with corresponding savings Of other
small grain harvested and threshed In
a similar manner. In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish fig
ures. reported greatly reduced harvest
losses.
The figure for wheat alone is equiv
alent to sever one-pounl loaves Of
bread for every person in the United
States and represents food that form
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While OPP
portunities in this branch of conserva-
ton were large, the quantity of grain
recovered surpasses early expecta-
tons. 1t is noteworthy also that re-
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation.
No conservation measure Of the
Food Administration, it is declared,
has received more wholehearted sup
port than thai pledged and rendered
by farmers and threshermen toward
reducing grain waste at its source.

In times past we have had some
vague ideas that perhaps govern

of the country might possibly be
a good thing, but under the
short experience the country
has had, with it's poor service,
high cost of shipments. and a
deficit of hundreds of millions of
dollars, which must be made up
from increased taxes, it's a ques.
ton whether we care to enjoy the
luxury of government ownership.
