CANNING IMPLEMENTS
NEED NOT BE COSTLY
Few Simple Kitchen Utensils Will
Be Satisfactory.
False Bottom Must Be Arranged in
Boiler to Prevent Jars Coming in
Contact With MetaI-SeveraI
Types of Gamers.

Expensive equipment is unnecessary
for canning, the United States depart
ment of agriculture specialists say. A
washboiler, lard can, or. any cOntainer
with Il tightly fitting cover large
enough TO hold a number Of packed
jars, and a few other simple utensils
generally found in the ordinary kitchen,
will do the work When such equip
ment is used, false bottom must be
placed in the boiler or other container
to prevent the jars from touching
the metal. A rack made of strips OF
wood is probably best for the purpose.
The processing or boiling of the jars in
the cOntainer may be done on the
kitchen stove or on a furnace built out
of doors.
Several types of Gamers, by which
the work can be done more easily than
with a homemade outfit. are on the
market. The hot-water bath Gamer is
the least expensive commercial type
There are two kinds. one, which may
be placed on the kitchen stove, and an
other, which has a drebox and pipe at
tached for use out of doors. Each has
a sterilizing vat, lifting trays, tongs for
handling hot jars, false bottoms and
tools necessary in sealing tin cans. Tin
cans or glass jars may be used with
any outfit.
There are also steam-pressure out
fits for home use. They develop a high
er temperature than the water-bath
Gamers mentioned. Steam-pressure
outfits are made to carry from to 80
pounds Of steam pressure and are regu-
lated easily.

mand for apples of uniform size. In
making a selection the apple grower
must determine which machine has
capacity propOrtionate to the size Of
his orchard and can be operated eco
nomically. The apple grower raising
any considerable quantity Of fruit
should give careful attention TO the
advantages Of mechanical conveyors,
which save a great amount Of labor
both in handling loose fruit and light
packages.
Not a little Importance is to be at
tached to the method Of packing the
barrel. Because the trade custOmarily
demands an attractive pack, the bet
ter cOlOred apples of uniform size may
be placed In the face, but the packer
should remember that the general
quality and size should conform TO
the grade in the rest of the barrel.

AN AVIATOR BURNED TO DEATH
Y. F. Nadeau of Kansas City Killed
When His Plane Fell Near
Topeka Recently.

Y F. Nadeau was burned to death
and H. c. Travers, both of Kansas
City, No, was bruised and slightly
burned when their airpIane fell at
Topeka recently The machine caught
fire just as it struck the ground.
Nadeau and Travers had leased the
machine. Nadeau formerly was a
member of the American air service.
Travers was in the Canadian air
forces. They have been doing stunt
flying at various fairs in Kansas and
came to Topeka for repairs. They
were to go to Mcfarland in the af-
ternoon. Whey they started off the
engine was running badly and they
circled about the field, narrowly miss
ing a row of trees. The engine went
dead apparently when the plane was
about fifty feet above the ground.
TraVers was thrown out Of the ma
chine when the nose struck the
ground. His safety belt was broken
by the fall Nadeau riding in the pas
senger's seat was held fast by the
safety belt. It is believed that he
was stunned by the fall, as those who
saw the accident assert that he made
no attempt to release himself. The
gasoline flames from the engine
spread almost instantly to the wings
of the plane. Farmers ran to the
scene with buckets of water, but were
unable to stop the flames.
Mrs. Nadeau had gone to the field
to see her husband start and witness
ed the accident.

Many Sources.
DRUNKEN HOGS LEAD TO STILL
Officers Arrest Three Alleged Moon
Sinners in a Raid at Bonner
Springs, Wyandotte County.

Disturbance of the peace of neigh
bors of Joseph Olson of Bonner
Springs, Kas., by the sqealing of hogs
and the honking of geese, which the
neighbors declare were drunk on sour
mash from an Illicit still in Olson's
house, resulted in the discovery Of
the still and the arrest of Mr.. and
Mrs. Olson and John Hartman, a
boarder.
The first suspicion of the OlsOns
and Hartman was aroused after neigh
bors complained recently to Frank
Bolen, city marshal of Bonner Springs,
of the boisterous conduct of Olson's
four hogs and his flock of geese The
broom house occupied by the Olsons,
almost surrounded by a clump of
trees, looked innocent enough. All
hogs squel and all geese honk, Bolen
reflected, but about the hog pen he
believed he detected a smell OF whis-
ky. He called David Kepler, under
sheriff of Wyandotte County.
A week of investigation disclosed
the fact that John Hartman. who had
come to Olson's to board two months
ago, was buying in Bonner Springs
quantities Of corn. dried fruit and
hops Kep1er and Bolen, with E. A.
'Griffis. deputy sheriff of Wyadotte
County, raided the Alison home. In
the single upstairs room they reported
they found Hartman watching the
cooking of sour mash in 50-galIon
tank
Five gallons of whisky in jugs and
seven barrels of mash, two on the
back porch ready to feed the hogs
and geese, were found by the officers.
Hartman admitted the officers say,
he had sold all the whisky he pro
-duced in Leavenworth through a
friend. Mr.. and Mrs. Olson admitted
knowledge OF the still. but denied any
other connection with it. The Olsons
and Hartman are being held for fed
~eraI authorities in the Wyandotte
County Jail.
The officers assert the still is the
largest and best equipped ever found
in the county. A copper coil of excel
lent workmanship led from the cook
ing tank into smaller one in which
it was cooled by water. Two other
smaller tanks were used evidently to
strain the freshly distilled whisky.
Hartman admitted, the officers say,
the still had been producing about
forty gallons day in the five weeks
he had been operating it.
1t took 5-ton truck to move all the
evidence, the tanks, coil and whisky.
to the Wyandotte County Jail. Sher-
if w. G. Wright, ir., put the evidence,
including the five gallons of spark
ling white mOOnshine, in the base
ment of the Jail for safe keeping.
