ENGLAND BEHIND THE TIMES

England is discussing the use Of tbo
telephone in that country as compared
win other countries, particularly the
ohiteo States. In that connection re-
cent editorial in the London Daily
Telegraph has come to the attention
OF Mrs. Ida Teel, manager of the tele-
phone company, here. The London pa
per says:
flgures demonstrate what every
one familiar with life in the United
states or in Canada has discovered by
observation, that we (British) are far
behind in the application of the tele-
phone to daily life"
The Telegraph declares that in
Great Britain, according to the latest
statistics there are only two tele-
phones per hundred people, while in
the United States there are 1876, in
Sweden, GA, and even in Norway A."
and adds: There is no denying the
evidence that, from whatever cause,
the telephone is not as much used in
this country as in others which, we
may be allowed to believe, are not
more highly developed or better or
gained"
The advantages of increased devel-
opment and greater use of telephone
facilities, the editorial says, it would
be superfluous to argue, and it asks:
why, then, is it that we have Set up
less than half the telephones per hun
dred of US than Norway needs, less
than one-sixtn of the number they de-
mand in American"
Answering its own question the
Telegraph lays responsibility at the
door of the Post Office which operates
the telephones in Great Britain. The
main reason, We take it, is that the
Post Office, it declares, has not yet
put a telephone within the reach of
more than limited number of the
population. A second reason is that
the service offered is not sufficiently
good to tempt those who can manage
their affairs without it"

Coleman and Tonasket with Omak.
If Okanogan won and Tonasket lost

SAVING WHAT YOU GROW.
Prepared by the Extension Service

One phase of canning which has
been neglected is the putting up OF
homemade soft drinks. What is more
refreshing for a light lunch, chill

hot afternoon. than a drink of fruit
Juice? This can be had In the fruit
pantry, as we'll as the jellies and
jams.
There are two methods of preserving
the juices of fruits. The first method
Is to press the juice out of uncooked
fruit by means of a cider-press, fruit
press or in some other way. Then

to 10 degrees f. The juice can then
be poured into ordinary hot jars or

30 minutes and lin many cases) pro-
cessed by the same directions as those
for canning the fruit itself. If poured
INTO bottles of miscellaneous shapes
and sizes, 1t is suggested that the fruit
Juice be processed as follows:
Use new corks and dip them in
melter paraffine Put the stopper
lightly into the bottle and leave it dur
Ing the processing period Set the bot
ties into hot water up to the neck and
process the juice for 80 minutes at a
temperature of $50 degrees F. Remove
the produce and Immediately press
the cork in as tightly as possible. Ger

sour cherries. peaches and apple CT
DER handled in this way are less like-
ly to "flatten in taste" and will keep
fresh for future use
The second method Of preparing
fruit juices is to select sound, ripe
fruit, crush and heat slowly to the
simmering point (about 1856 degrees

ment Is desired. let it stand in a cool
place for few hours. Then pour off

The addition of sugar to the fruit

lair allowance being 1 cup of sugar to

Farm-laborites are holding con-
vention in Chicago this week trying
to lay the groundwork for a third
party. The only snag in the way Of a
third party is that there are so many
candidates willing to take their chan
ces on third party movement that
there are only few Of the rank and
file left to make selection, and as
the candidates cannot reconcile their
views as to what is necessary to save
the country 1t would make little differ
ence who was selected as candidates
the others would be "agin" them. The
new party will probably be confined
to radical mouthings.
