MY dear Mrs. Wilson-Last
summer l made a gallon of pure
grape juice (no water in it), by
combining sugar with the grapes,
allowing the juice to slowly sim
mer, then taking off and allow
ing it to drip and then bringing
it up to the boiling point and
sealing while hot in a gallon size
glass demijohn. Now what |
want to know is, is it possible to
leave the grape juice in the demi-
john and use it as wanted? If
not, how can / put it in pint bot
ties without destroying its favor
and without the possibility of fer
menting? Your kind help will
be appreciated. MRS. H. L. H.
MRS. II. L. H.-You must robot
tie the juice into small bottles or
mason jars. Fill the juice into
sterilized bottles or jars and then
place in a hot-watei bath and proc
ess for thirty minutes. Seal Why
not make some grape jelly from this
juice?

quarters cupful of sugar for each
cup of juice. Stir well to dissolve
the sugar. Cook for ten minutes
and then pour into sterilized glasses.
Cool and then cover with paraffin

VICTORY LOAN MUST
BE BROADLY POPULAR

Now that Congress has passed
the bill authorizing the fotation of
the Victory Liberty Loan, too much
emphasis cannot be attached to the
statement recently made by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Glass, urg-
ing that the forthcoming loan be
popular in the same sense as those
that precede it.
This loan, in order that the great
est good should be accomplished,
must be popular in every sense of
the word. 1t would be unfortunate
indeed if the people were to assume
that the banks are expected to alb
sorb this last offering that marks
the close of the financial burden to
be borne by the American people be-
cause of the world war.
The financial situation, as well as
the business situation, is dependent
''ncn as wide a distribution as pos
sible of the government borrowings.
Every man should know that the
principal functions of the banks are
those that they are now perform
ing, purchasing the short time
Treasury Certificates of Indebted
ness issued by the Government in
anticipation of the Fifth Liberty
Loan.
The proceeds of the Fifth Liberty
Loan will come from the people and
be available for the payment of
these short time Certificates of In
debtedness, thus releasing bank
funds for the use of industry and
agriculture and, perhaps, for a later
use in assisting the Government
again in purchasing future short
time Treasury bills in case they
should be offered.
1t is essential that the Chairman
of the Local War Loan Organiza-
tons throughout the entire Eighth
Federal Reserve District, and other

workers connected with the Organ
ization, be familiar with and know
he situation as it exists, and it
lould serve to remind each Liber-
V Loan worker that the general
public be as fully informed and be
5 thoroughly convinced, as he is.
The greatest misfortune that could
befall this country, next to losing
he war, would be for the Victory
liberty Loan to fail.

GETS GOOD APPOINTMENT

Former Representative Swager
Sherley, the retiring chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, whose
congressional term expired March
4, has been appointed by Director
General Hines to be the director of
the Division of Finance of the Rail
road Administration to succeed Con-
troller of the Treasury John Skel-
ton Williams, who resigned several
days ago from his position as direc-
tor of the Division of Finance and
Purchases. The intention is to d.
vide this division into two divisions
but the appointment of the new d.
rector of the Division of Purchases
has not yet been made.
Mr.. Shirley, who is now at his
home in Louisville, wired Director
General Hines his acceptance. He
will assume his new duties not later
than April Is. The announcement
of Mr.. Sherley's appointment was no
surprise. 1t had been known for
several days that this position which
it is said, pays a salary of $4,000
year, was offered him.

TOVERNOR BLACK, of Ken
IT lucky, blames President Will
sons coal strike letter for his
defeat. THE miners voted for Re-
publican" he says.
Governor Black is right in placing
responsibility for his defeat on
President Wilson, but the coal strike
letter had little bearing on the cleo
ton. Normally, Kentucky chooses
Democratic Governors and doubtless
had President Wilson been a popular
President that would have had an
important bearing on the Kentucky
election. The Presidents stand on
the coal strike has been more favor
ably received than anything he has
done since the declaration of war on
Germany, but it could not overcome
the general antagonism of the coun-
try against the administration. Mr..
Wilson's determination not to per-
NIT the soft coal workers to wreck
the industrial fabric of the country
for their own selfish purposes made
more votes for the Kentucky Demo-
Gratis than it cost them. Make no
mistake about that, Governor Black.

THE SHIP OF DEATH

~ N SUNDAY, November 9, COM
mittee composed of six SEN
ators and six representatives
arrived in New York City to meet
the steamer Lake Daraga, a ship
which might better have been chris
tened the Ship of Death. Upon this
ship arrived the bodies Of III
American soldiers who were killed
or who died in the ice-bound regions
of northern Russia.
American soldiers sacrificed upon
the altar of internationalism!
What argument beneath the
heavens can be expounded to justify
the untimely and unnecessary death
of these men? Were we at war with
Russia or any faction of that ka-
leidoscopic so-called government?
Was the Congress of the United
States consulted when these men
were sent to their doom?
Secretary Baker has never given
satisfactory explanation of the
authority which prompted him to
dispatch these troops. More. than a
year ago he promised they would all
be returned to this country by June
1919. They were not returned by
that date, as is we'll evidenced by
the trip of The Ship of Death.
These Ill men, protectors of the
American flag, can never be restored
to their places in the ranks of the
American Army. Their death has
marked a crimson page in the his
tory of this country. There is only
one hope in the sacrifice they made.
That is the indelible record, the
handwriting on the WALL which
speaks against internationalism with
all it's attendant evils. What a story
these men could have told If they
could have spoken to the committee
of men representing the people of
the United States who met their last
earthly remains! But their dead
Their bodies must have stood as if
in struggle to form stone wall
between this country and the danger
of entangling alliances.
Need the advocates of inter-
those who would throw
this country into the everlasting
cauldron of European controversy.
any greater lesson than this? What
representative of the people could
look upon the bodies of these SOL
diers and then turn about and vote
for the similar sacrifice of thousands
more? Let the dead past bury its
dead" hut let it be heralded from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Gulf to Canada that these shall
not have died in vain"

Free Speech at University
[From Philadelphia Public Ledger.

[From Philadelphia Public Ledger
The action of the Provost of the

by a certain labor agitator publicly
branded by the Attorney General OF
the United States as an advocate OF
revolution and "a dangerous radical
will doubtless be hailed by many of
his ilk as another unjust curtailment
of free speech. But there will be
no sympathy with this distorted view
by the great mass of the American
people, who in the present crisis or
social and Industrial unrest have
plainly discovered that the real pur-
pose of those who are most active
in promoting it is defiance of law
and the overthrow of government.
While it Is true that the worlds
history has proved that suppression

ligious or economic, there are times

the commissions of war, nor have
the processes of readjustment and

justify us in proclaiming the peace
for which we are longing. And the
Government has been compelled for
its own safety and for the protection
of the rights of the people to adopt
many measures which under normal
conditions would be open to just
criticism.

another to make the search for truth

public demonstration by men who
openly avow contempt for law and
a purpose to overthrow, by force If
need be, the institutions upon which
the national Sations are built.
Searchers for truth at the University
can find it without calling upon those
who are unwilling to adopt the means
provided by the constitution and the
laws for the change of political poli-
cies to which they object and VINO
seriously propose to enforce their
own will, to use Attorney General
Palmer's words, by terrifying sur
fering people into submission! Thai
sort of guidance has no legitimate
place in university research. especi-
ally when it involves possible
breach of public order and the tacit
encouragement of those who would

A COMMANDMENT

MOT long ago noted economist.
M asked to give his remedy for
the condition of unrest
throughout the world, wrote out on
sheet of paper as his solution
simply the Ten Commandments.
He might have gone further and
reduced his rules to one, which
reads:
Honor thy father and thy
mother"
This is the most sweeping of all
the Commandments, for if a man
carry out that injunction to it's final
analysis he will have obeyed all the
others, and when the whole world
bows in obedience to this divine
command the millennium will have
arrived.
