|. Story of Club Work.
In the spring of 1910 decided that
I would join the. canning club. It'was
then real late to begin, but l decided
to give it trial, so I secured my plot
and went to work. About the middle
of May 1 transplanted my tomatoes
and planted my corn, okra, beans
and cucumbers. 1 cultivated once a
week and sometimes oftener to keep
them free from weeds and grass and
to make them grow fast.
About the middle of July, just when
my tomatoes were beginning to ripen,
we had several days of rain and l
thought then that my tomatoes were
ruined, but I kept on, determined to do
the very best that I could. l canned
96 quarts from my tenth acre and
sold $3.50 worth of fresh vegetables,
and used 800 pounds of vegetables at
home. My expenses were very little,
as I did most of the work myself and
grew my own plants. A good many
of my vegetables were wasted because
I did not know just how to manage
with the canning and marketing, but
with what have learned I feel that
/ can do a great deal better this year.
My canned goods took several first
prizes at the county fair, which was
very encouraging. When l had COM
pIeted my canning had net profit
Of $l1.50.
On the 2lst Of April I was informed
that was to 60 to Winthrop to the
State short course, and you don't
know how glad I was. had never
heard anything that delighted me any
more than that did. I expect to go
and learn all that can and help other
club members when I get back.1 hope
that all the club members will do their
best this year and keep the motto,
ITO Make the Best Better" up to the
standard.

CHURCHES URGED TO AID SALVATION ARMY
Financial Needs of Great Humanita
 rian Force Emphasized

Rev. Oscar de Wolfe Randolph rec tor of the St. Mary's Church, appeared before the Pastors Union and made strong plea- for the churches, as churches, to give their support to the Salvation Army, and upon motion of Dr. James E. billiard. pastor of the South side Baptist Church, the body went on record as being interested both in the work and the drive for funds now be- ing made.
 Mrs. E. c. Brooks brought to the at tention of the union the condition of the boys and girls from the Juvenile court. She represented the federated woman's missionary movement of the churches of the city and asked that something be done to provide the chill dren with religious services. A motion by Dr. A. J. Dickinson was passed ask ing for the appointment of a commit tee to care for the situation.
 The speaker for the day was Dr. George R. Stuart. who read a paper on Sam Jones, the preacher, giving inside facts about his pulpit work gathered from sixteen years association with him in his evangelistic campaigns The paper was greatly enjoyed, especially on account of the intimate personal flavor.
 At the July meeting Dr. John Me- Neill will make a farewell talk before taking up his new work in New York city.

Hero Vultures

The Tank casualty list is the business backbone of the latest crop of America s war profiteers-a group to whom nothing is sacred except profit.
 "The newest type of opportunist has been discovered, the man who attempts to prey upon the families of the soldiers who fell in the war" states the Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' weekly conducted by the former editorial council of the Stars and Stripes.
 His simple scheme Is outlined in the following letter, one of several of it's kinds recently received by the Home Sec tor:
 One of my relatives who served in the war was killed in France. His sis ter who was his next of kin, and to whom fhis insurance is being paid. has been re- ceving great deal of mail matter of every kind addressed to the nearest rela- tive of Howard -. Evidently some one carefully looks over the casualty lists and peddles these names around be- cause mail of all sorts, varying from prospectuses of oil schemes to circulars for memorial books. are being sent out
 "It is apparent that the casualty lists of the recent war are being commer- cialized The worst of the situation is that there is no legal means of preventing 2 their use They became public property when they were printed In the newspa- pers, and any promoter may use them without fear as long as his scheme is not so nebuous that 1t comes within the jurisdiction of the postoffice inspec- tors.
 "The veterans societies might. however. profitably. engage in counter activity. warning the relatives of our dead to scan their mail with care. And. if the prac- ltice becomes more aggravated, they might investigate and expose the schem- ers.''

MAN IS WINNER
 OF PRIZE DESIGN
 FOR MODEL HOME
Novel Ideas Brought Forth By Contest Conducted
 Recently in England
By MARGARET WALTER

London, May 5.-(Reciprocal News won the s1,20O prize offered for the best design and working model of a labor saving home. But he only man. aged to capture ss out of a possible 100 points, which proves that labor saving domestic architecture in Eng land is still in it's elementary stage.
 Most of the devices are the merest commonplace in our modern American homes, but some of them are original and worth the notice of women who are building new houses.
 There are no parquet floors to be polished The kitchen and Hobbies are of encaustic tiles whichNhave only to be mopped wet or dry. The surface is smooth, elastic and dry.
 The halls and staircases are of con- crete covered with rubber compost tion, which is elastic to the trend and warm, and furnishes the least wear ing surface for rugs.
 The reception rooms and bedrooms are covered with a patent jointless flooring with a permanent dull surface which needs no polishing. There are no holdings or dust harbors in the house, all panels are flush with the walls or rounded so that the surface catches no dust. The walls and ceil- ings of the entire house are wash able and all windows can be turned and washed from the inside.
 All cupboards and dressers are built in. The space between the handrail and the floor of the staircase Is filled in with dull polished plate glass, re- inforced with bronze mesh. This makes d cheap and very attractive balustrade and one which is cleaned with damp rag. It allows light to pass, but pre- vents draughts.
 Of course, this model home is heated by low-pressure hot water boiler

These are flush times, with many good looking securities on the market paying 7, 8, 3 and 10 per cent.
 When we get down to bed rock and the time comes when you have to sell, where will many of these good looking se- curities be and how much be- low par will you be offered for your holdings?
 Why take all these chances when there is an investment right here at home that has not sold under par in thirty years and never will, as it has a cash surrender value at definite pe- riods of time.

Three additional pumping units are planned which will increase the volume of water to 36,00O gallons at 200 pounds pressure. Water will be drawn from three sources-salt water from the harbor. the domestic low pressure system and from high pressure feeds.
 Operation of the new system, it is expected, will result in considera ble reduction in fire insurance rates in the distdicts. covered. A markdown of Is per cent has been suggested as possible. The system the construc- tion of which was begun eight years ago, will have cost between $3,000, 900 and S4,000,000 when completed.

PEOPLE ON FARMS
LIVE THE LONGEST

Life on the farm is the healthiest
and safest, according to statistics
compiled by the United States bu-
reau of labor showing the average
age at death in various occupations.
The farmer and farm laborer live
longer than other workers. This does
not "seem longer" which, it will be
remembered, is the point in the old
joke, concerning the longevity OF
married folk contrasted with bachel
ors and spinsters-it is longer, and
official research records prove it
Farmers live to the average age 81
58.5 years, blacksmiths are giver

scattered over the part enclosed for
pasture and when feeding begins in
the late fall some of the hay can be
fed there. The trampling of the
ground by the stock, the clearing of
brush, and seeding of clover and
grasses will rapidly increase the
stock carrying capacity of the en-
closure. And such capacity can still
be- supplemented by herding the cat
tie occasionally on whatever common
grazing may be available.
The coming of seed time makes it
pertinent to call attention to the i'm
portance of treatment of seed for
the prevention of those losses which
are known to be preventable. Smut
destroyed more than $8,000,000
worth of Minnesota grains in 1918.
Much of the annual loss can be av-
oided by the treatment of seed with
formaldehyde. Perhaps the Cook
SOuAIey ActA 1AAS1 may ocy C11aI Ilo
acreage Of grain is so small that it
is not worth while taking the
trouble to treat seed. But may it
not be argued that because the acre
age is small there is all the more
reason to get the largest possible
yield. Oat smut has been found in
number of fields during the past
few years and while it has not
reached the high percentage found
in some parts of the state, it is,
nevertheless, an unnecessary tax on
production. Because of the condi-
tions which exist, all the operations
of cultivation cost more than they
do in the prairie sections and higher
average yields must be obtained to
make up for the higher cost. The
method Of treatment is very simple
and the cost insignificant. Farmers
should call on the county agent and
arrange for a demonstration in each
settlement.
