The present shortage and price of sugar is no excuse for not canning big surplus. Fruit for use in pies or stewed fruit can be put up without the use of sugar. accord ing to the canning specialists of the Extension Division of the Univers- tty of Arkansas. Any fruit may be sterilized successfully and retained in the pack by simply adding boiling water instead of the hot syrup.
 Can the product the same day 1t is picked. Gull, stem. or seed and clean the fruit by placing 1t in strainei and pouring water over 1t until 1t is clean. Pack the product thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans until they are full; use the handle of table spoon. wooden ladle, or table. knife for packing purposes. Pour over the fruit boiling water from a kettle. place rubbers and caps in position, partially seAl if using glass jars, seal complete lyiif using tin cans.

Preserve Eggs for Your
 Winter Use.
(By s. R. Stout of the Universally

-
 During the fall and early winter eggs are very scarce and high-priced. Therefore, we should preserve for win. ter use in the best possible way all eggs not used fresh in summer. There are 8 number of methods employed for preserving eggs, some of which are water glass. lime water, salt. vaseline and patent preservatives.
 Last June an experiment. was started
 at the Arkansas Experiment. Station to ascertain the efficiency of different egg preservatives that were available at that time. Seven different preserv- atives were used, namely: Water glass,
 lime water, salt, vaseline, Yankee, D.
 q, and Flemings' egg preservatives.
 The water glass was prepared by
 boiling nine quarts of clean water and
 then, after it had been allowed to cool,
 one quart of water glass was added.
 The solution was we'll mixed and set
 aside for short time. The solution
 was poured from one vessel to another
 until the solution was we'll mixed and
 cold. The eggs were placed in the
 water glass the same day they were
 laid and stored in basement room. The lime water was prepared in
 much the same way as was the water
 glass. The esgs were placed in sat.
 urated solution which was made ay slaking small az2scynt of quiclc lime
 in a small quantity of water. The milk of lime obtained was added to five gallons of clean, fresh water. This solution was well mixed and allowed to settle. The liquid was then drawn off, and when it became cool was
 poured into earthen crooks. The eggs were placed in the solution as soon as they were gathered.
 The eggs placed in the salt were packed in common salt, small end
 down. Those preserved in the patent conservatives were preserved accord, ing to the directions which accom-. panied the preservative The vaseline was applied in much the same way as was the patent conservatives. by placs ing small amount of vase1ine in the palms of the hands and rubbing eaeh .sg well. making sure the entire sur face was covered. The eggs were all placed in egg cartons and stored in the same room with tho water glass and lime water and salt.
 After six months tho eggs were tested by the Homo Economies De, partment for. their cooking qualitiea, with the following results:
 Eggs preserved in water glass were found to resemble fresh eggs more nearly than did any of the others. They were suitable for cooking. mak. ing custards and cakes. However, they were not good poached. Those h the lime water were next in quality. None of the others were as satisfac- tory as the water glass and lime water. There was no difference in the keep. ing qualities of fertile and infertile eggs, nor in the color of the shell. However. this holds good only when eggs are preserved the same day they are laid; otherwise, infertile eggs are
 more suitable for preserving.

IMPROVEMENT IN WISCONSIN
Ten Million Dollars to Be Spent on Developing Highways in Badger
 State in 1919.

Ten million dollars will be spent on developing. improving and patrolling the highways of Wisconsin during 1919.
 This announcemnt was made by A. R. Hirst. state highway engineer, who explained that the increase an amount elmost double that spent in former years, was because s2.500.000 was left over from last year and also to furnish an opportunity for employment of re- turned soldiers and sailors.
 Approximately S7.000000 will be spent in developing new roads, and about S3,000.000 will be used to patrol the state trunk highways. The money will come from federal, state and coun- ty sources.
 The senate committee on highways Is considering a bill to allow counties to institute trunk lines and to raise the present limit of 5000 miles of fed eral hid roads In the state.

TREES FOR ROAD PROTECTION
Active Steps Taken by New York Organizations for Development
 of Planting Scheme.

By PROF R. B FAXON, State Col
 lege of Forestry. Syracuse. N. Y)
 Believing that the problem of road side planting should not be entirely set aside during the movement for great er mileage of improved highways, active steps are now being taken by the New York State Motor federa- ton and the State College of Forestry at Syracuse for the development of planting scheme for the section of the highway running from Syracuse to Utica, a distance of about 6G miles.
 It has been demonstrated by those in charge of the work that aside from the purely ornamental value of trees along the highway, many practical ben efits would result from their proper use. It is not generally realized that trees, by means of their shade during the summer months prolong the life of the roadway for many years, and road experts in general are heartily in fa- yor of this means for road protection.

Soldiers Slack in Discipline and Show Familiarity Toward
 Officers.
OLD ARMY HAS DISAPPEARED
About 10000 Men Commanded by Hin denburg About All That Remains
 of Great Host-Revolution
 Changes German Troops.

Rerin.-Under the new republic the are no more. In name at least. The republics name for them is defense, and they are placed under charge of Gustav Noske, much trusted by the government for his prompt action in emergencies. and much hated by the Spartaeans for his relentless opposi- ton when disorders break out.
 Noske's appointment as head of the navy as well as the army, was regard ed none too seriously. by Noske him self. at least. When asked by news paper man what he expected to do about the naval affairs of Germany in the future, Noske laughed and replied :: "Why worry about naval affairs, when we haven't any navy?"
 There are still sailors in big num- bers In Germany, however and they have been a problem. During the revo- lution the sailors played an important part, and most of them developed such liking to land duty in Berlin and the other big cities that they have refused to leave for kiel or any of the har- bors. Now the sailors are used in the guard regiments all over Germany, along with soldiers
 Big Army Disappears.
 The German army is in process of reorganization. Immediately after the armlstice the army almost disappeared as an organized unit, and though there were millions of men in uniform scat tered all over the land, none was re sponsible to anyone, and officers were not safe in uniform. In localities the soldiers joined Red guard" groups, and some served and others misused their privileges. Thus the army as it was known i'll the old days practically vanished. except for Il few divisions under HindeHbufg, camped behind the Rhine, and the troops along the Polish border.
 Now the only army of the field that Germany has Is in the east to guard against the Poles. II is commanded by Hindenburg and Is supposed to be not more than 60,000 or 10000 men if 1t numbers that many. However government troops are scattered over the country in every big city and in industrial centers to guard against disorders. The big problem is keep ing these troops faithful and satis fled. when Spartacan propaganda ant money is at large. Under Noske and the minister of war. Colonel Reinha,d

servants of the church. which latter 1t was the announced intention of the bolShevih to exterminate.
 The evidence discloses almost un- thinkable atrocities. A blacksmith, by economies, had attained shop. He was required to pay 5000 rubles; be- cause he could not, he was shot. A man was shot because he lived in brick house. All attorneys and jurists were killed. and doctors, whose serv. ices were not required for the moment, were disposed of in similar manner.
 A woman whose husband and two sons had been seized applied to the commissar for information as to their fate. She was told they had been taken to Perm. After repeating her visit several times she was informed that if she bothered the commissar again she would be shot, as they had been.
 The body of q woman was eXhumed and identified in the presence of the Americans as the wife of general through Jewels seWed in the lining of her clothing. of which relatives were aware. Another woman was compelled to fetch lamp and gaze upon her murdered sons for the amusement of the slayers.
 A wife required to pay 1000 rubles 1 for the release of her husband bor- rowed 500 and paid 1t over; later she returned with the remainder. and then was informed that her husband had been shot. There were scores of simi- lar cases. All were killed without any form of trial.
 The soviet called a meeting and pre- l pared lists of those to die. The houses prescribed were visited by squads, the doors were smashed in, and the vic tims dragged to the edge of the town and forced to dig their own graves Those who resisted were shot in the streets.
 A survivor testified that he had seen men thrown into pit and buried alive. This testimony has been con firmed by bodies exhumed, the clenched hands of which were clinging to the mud at the bottom of the pit.
 The only spark of humanity discov able was that in confiscating the be, longings of the residents. In some in stances where there was a family ot small children. the family was permit ted to retain one COW out of several Occasionally peasant was allowed tc keep his worst horse.
 The bolshevik attitude toward tht church was uncompromising. Priest, were hunted unmereifully. The evi denee showed that men were slail whose only offense was that the. worked as seXtons or caretakers o churches.

Germany's New
 Army Lacks Snap

the morale and discipline of the gov ernment troops have improved tremen- dously until a great part of the for mer efficiency is restored.
 Depends on Peace Terms.
 Germanys army is in a transitory state. What it will become depends upon the peace terms, the Germans recognize. But there has evidently been change in idea in the govern ment. Early in the revolution Ebert declared himself against q conscripted army, and Noske and Reinhard were appointed to organize volunteer forces, serving for short periods, to defend the new government. As a matter of fact the troops used for interior de- fense are all volunteers, mostly young men, serving for three or six months at good pay.
 The policy of the new republic will be against conscription in theory, de- clares President Ebert, but there is not
