don Dinner To Flames
Loss About $4,000

G. n. McEleraby, who lives about 3
miles northeast of this city, lost his
farm home and barn by fire this after
noon. The loss was about $4,000 with
insurance Of $4,000 and through the
promptness of Michaclson & Hughes
Co. the loss was adjusted before 3
O'clOcll-before the first was out.
Mr.. McEleraby was preparing din
ner (his wife being away on a visit J
when the fire started in the shingles ON
the roof, presumably from a spark as
the chimney, which is still standing,
was in good condition. The fire was
discovered by a Coyey boy, of a neigh
boring family, who ran into the house
and notified Mr.. McEleraby. The fire
already had such Il start that attempts
to stop it were hopeless although
neighbors quickly gathered and saved
most Of the household goods.
Close to the house stock a wc"k-Shed
and this was saved by hard fighting.
but the sparks were carried by the wind
over the shed to the barn which soon
caught fire and was consumed, to-
gethCr with most of the contents cX-
cept the stock, which was saved. Twon-
ty-seven tons of hay were burned in the
barn.

TIONS RE-OPENED TO
DISCHARGED

Under an opinion of the Attorney
General recently rendered to the Civil
Service Commission, United States
soldiers, sailors and marines who
missed opportunity to enter civil SER
vice examinations because of their
military or naval service may now be
given a chance to qualify for govern
ment employment.
The Civil Service Commission, wish
ing to give discharged service men
every opportunity TO qualify for civil
positions, asked the Attorney General
for an opinion as to whether it would
be legal to open, for the benefit of hon
Orably discharged soldiers, sailors and
marines, examinations which had been
closed The Attorney General having
expressed the opinion that such action
is legal in view OF the spirit ofsa recent
act of Congress which provides for
preference in appointment to civil
positions for discharged soldiers, sail
ors and marines, the Civil Service Com
mission will open only to honorably
discharged service men examinations
which were pending on April 6, 1917,

war. or which were subsequently an
nounceG. and for which registers of
eligibIes now exist.

be allowed soldiers, sailors and marines
in which to- be examined for positions
for which examinations have already
been held if they were discharged from
the military or naval service prior to
August /, and sixty days from the date
of their discharge will be allowed those

MOTORISTS HERE
LAW ABIDING
Auto License Inspector Finds
Few Violations Of Law in
Ladysmith

George S. Cook, of Unity, state auto
license inspector, was i'll the city today
and found a few violations of the laws
governing the operation of automobiles
here
Mr.. Cook Informed the News-Budget
that Ladys1nith was far ahead Of the
average town of its size in living up to
these laws, as in many places the local
authorities had made no attempt to
make the motorists obey the laws.
while here it was evident that viola
tiOns were being looked after.
Mr.. Cook called attention to the fact
that the motorists who are at all posted
on the matter would not want to violate
the provisions of the auto license laws
even if they escaped arrest, for in so
doing they forfeit all rights on the road
and are liable to have to pay heavy
damages in case OF any accident that
occurs in which they are anyway in
volvod. even though they may be oper-
ating their car with the greatest Of
care and the accident is due to an
others carelessness.
Do not run car unless you have
license for it and have one plate at
tlchcd to the rear and one plate on the
front Of the ear. Otherwise you have
no right on the road.

Famous Aviator Believes i'm Civ
ing People Their Moneys
Worth
FLIES LATEST TYPE
OF CURTISS AIRPLANE
One of the Most Daring of "Stunt"
Flyers; Makes OnloolSers Gasp
at Her Deeds i'm the Air

Visitors at the RuSk County Fair,
September 1896, will be given a rare
treat when Ruth Law, the famous
girl aviator flies here twice daily dur
ing the exposition. Miss Law is a re-
trcShhng exception among aviators in
that her one idea is to please the specta-
tors and give the people their moneys
worth of thrills and in every fight she
turns and twists her crratic little Cur
tiss acr0plane into dozens of loops.
dlp-flOpS, spins, etc. One oId-timer
recently watched Ruth Law in one of
her exhibition flights and after il was
over he remarked eloquently and
tersely That's flying with big r"
There never has been and there
probably never will be another aviator
with such perfect mastery of the air.
Miss Law does everything the best
flicrs do and does ii bit better. Her
fame at banking" an aeroplane. the
act of fitting it on end in making sharp
turns, is world wide. Experienced
flicrs admit she banks a plane sleeper
than any other aviator in exhibition
work and her loops arc as straight and
true as though the plane was beinng
driven around a track. She goes into
4 loop on the horizontal and comes out
on an even keel
Ruth Law has broke all records for
looping the loop. Her spiral dives are
most spectacular and involuntarily the
thr0ngs watching her from the ground
send up a chorus of gaSps. One of her
many stunts is perpendicular nose
dive, coming straight down for 1000
feet and then fiattening out for a long
sweep not twenty feet above the heads
OF the crowds in the home stretch Of
the race track. Where most aviators
keep well away from the buildings,
Miss Law dips and banks and flips just
above them. Always she follows out
her aim of giving the crowd it's moneys
worth. IN her loops she is careful to
stay well within view of the grand
stand
Overland owners in RuSk county
will be interested to know that Ruth
Laws 4eroplanc is an Oveland (Over
land) machine both with and without

CANNING CORN DEMANDS
BOTH SPEED AND CARE

Corn seems to give the average home
Gamer more trouble than any Other
product. It is especially important
therefore. that extreme care be used
and that directions be carefully fol
lowed. Much depends upon the age
and condition of the corn. Select
fresh. tender, juicy corn which has moi
reached the starchy stage. A little eX-
perience in selecting the ear and the
ability to recognize corn that is just
Ietween the milky and dough stage are
important.
Have the utensils in readiness before
starting. The jars already tested for
leaks and tops should be boiled ID MIN
utcs and then be left in the hot water
until ready for use. The rubber should
3e placed in hot soda solution made
with tablespoon soda and / quart OF
boiling water If a hot water cannner
is used (either homemade on CONNER
ei0D have the water heating III 1t be-
fore starting to cut the corn from the
cob \ steam-preSsure canner is recon-
mendcd for use in the canning OF corn.
# used. the water in it should be start
ed to heating beforehand. A contalner
Of boiling water should be in readiness
in which to blanch the corn.
Remove husks and silk; blanch
(boiD corn for / to 5 minutes on the
cob. Dip for an instant in cold water,
After cold dip, cut Immediately off the
cob with sharp. thih-bladed knife.
Speed is requisite in successful can
ming Of corn. The best results can be
obtained when one person cuts the corn
from the cob and another fills the con-
tainers. Pack the corn to within one
inch of the top. Add one level tea
spoon of salt and one-half teaspoon OF
sugar to each quart. Fill the jars with
boiling water. Put rubberS and tops
into position on the jars. When using
lars with glass tops which have wire
balls. the top bail only should be put III
place.
Place the filled jars on false bottom
Of wood in the water-bath canner or
into the steam-pressure canncr with
the hot water bath canner have the
water above the tops of the cans.
When one period OF processing IS
used, boil steadily for $50 minutes,
starting to count time after the water
is boiling vigorously. If the intermit-
tent processing is used, boil ~ hours
the first day and 1 hour on the two sue
ceeding days. allowing only II TO Is
hours between the first and second pro-
cession periods Tighten the jar tops
after each boiling and loosen just be-
fore starting the successive boiling.
Only one period of processing is
necessary with the steam-pressure
cooker. When one is used, process
corn 80 minutes under ID pounds pres
sure at a temperature of $50 degrees f.
When the jars are removed from the
Gamer. tighten tops Immediately.

Times change. In 1912 a report was

Rural Schools" It was found neces-
sary to argue the value of County
Training schools, thus 1T is a notable
fact that the graduates of the county
training schools showed much finer
teaching ability than those who had
not had this professional training.
1T is notable that the graduates OF the
county training schools were much
more effective in teaching reading than
the teachers who had no training
These arguments are no longer needed

ognize the value of the training given
in such schools as the Rusll County
