that there is a very great need of
welel equipped industrial plant where
the useful arts may be taught and
where every woman may be kept EN-
ployed in gainful way, as the lack of
sufficient and varied employment is
the greatest hindrance to the work,
particularly in the winter season when
there is little or nothing to do on the
farm.

Can Your Vegetables

e. e. RICE, Garden Supervisor.
Peas are now available in abupd-
ance in Indiana gardens and beans are
fast coming on. These vegetables are
admirably adapted for canning by the
cold process.
According to present indications as
they are viewed by the United States
Department of Agriculture, home can
ming will be just as important this
year as it was during the war.
THE shortage of labor on the farms
makes it necessary for the canneries
to pay high prices for the commodi-
ties that will be canned later in the
season. Labor in the canning fac.
tories Is expensive and difficult to OBJ
tain. Everything from cans to carriage
costs, has increased in price and trans
portation Is slow and more expensive
than it was in war times. All this in
, crease must be paid by the ultimate
consumer; and there is not even as
surance that there will be enough
| canned products to go around. The
solution is home canning"
Natural favor in vegetables which
have been canned is retained only
when young, tender and quickly-grow
products are used. One hour from
| field to can is a safe rule.

FARMERS STORE WOOL CLIP.

MARION, Ind, July 13.-Carrying
out their threat to store their crop Of
1920 wool unless a better price was
offered them, Grant county farmers,
who pooled their wool crop this year,
have stored it at Upland, where it will
be held until buyers are willing to
give them a price nearer what the
farmers claim it is worth. AS farmers
in many other parts Of the country
are doing the same thing, very pecul-
lar condition of affairs is brought
about, the pooling and storing being
under national agreement reached by
wool producers. The local wool crop
amounts to about 10000 pounds.

IA BROTHERS. TRIBUTE

The grim reaper death" who
spares neither high or low, has gar
nered from our lodge and commun-
ity, the choicest jewel that it has
been his privilege to take in many
years, in the person of Everett
Jameson.
The writer who has always had an
affection for youth, we'll remembers
the boy in knee pants, saw him grow
and develop into manhood, and what
we noticed most was his natural in
stinct to do what was right, which il
exemplified by uniting with the
church of his parents "The Episco.
pal", at the age Of fifteen and was q
member at his death.
Y His ideals in individuality, domes
tic and business life were as higf
as the writer has ever known. It il
needless to say that such an ex
emplary character was a devoted sor
and an affectionate husband.
To the heart broken wife, the par
ents and family, words fail to con
vey my feelings Of sorrow, my owl
grief at the loss Of a true friend
teaches me how crushing must b.
your affection. May the Almighty il
His goodness console you in this darl
hour of your tribulation.
