FIRST CANNERY IN DELAWARE
(From the Wall Street Journal
March 23/23)

1t was in Delaware that the first
successful fruit cannery was estab-
lished-successful in the sense that its
product found forthwith a national
market and it's trademark a distine-
tive value. Two Yankee youths with
about enough capital to buy railway
tickets from Boston to Dover were
the pioneers. One was a tinsmith,
trained to make cans, one a grocer's
clerk of the family of John Alden,
rich in recipes that the Mayfower had
brought over. A hundred pounds of
sugar, a box of sheet tin and an old
kitchen stove-into such went their
adventuring few dollars. A dozen bas-
kets of peaches was their first plunge
sent canned to Boston to be sold on

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 49,
The building of the American Falls
dam across Snake river at a cost of
from 100000 to $16,O0O,0O0
was absolutely guaranteed today,
when Secretary of the Interior Work
signed contracts with the Greater
American Falls irrigation district,
the Empire irrigation district and
with the Idaho Power company.
These contracts pledge the govern
ment to proceed with the building
of this dam, in cooperation with the
two irrigation districts, while the
power company, under its contract,
agrees to surrender to the govern
ment its two plants at American
Falls and such other property as may
have to be taken over incident to the
building of the dam. While the dam
is under construction power from
these plants will be used at the dam
site.
By today's action Secretary Work,
makes it possible for the American
Falls district to proceed with the sale
of its bonds recently authorized and
the Empire district 1. is empowered
to sell its s2,500,000 of bonds, these

Anybody can put out a fire with

of fire, grab your bucket of water

the fire is. 1t might be close enough
so you can put it out yourself; if
not, you may be able to keep it
down somewhat, or get some goods

Some of the vital things to do in
case of fire are:
Give the alarm.
Keep cool and do clear thinking.
Plan to put out the fire, smother
it, keep the air from it, rescue kid
dies if any inside, carry out things
of greatest value-don't just grab
things as you come to them, but
consider which are valuables and
which are treasures of mere bric-a-

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1923-07-31
BY BILLY EVANS,

A right arm that is in it's tenth
year of major league service that has
never been afflicted with kink and
has only once been below the 500
mark hangs from Edward Pfcffer's
compound frame.
"Just little common sense in the
spring and in the summer" is the
prescription presented by the giant
Highlander, now member of the
st. Louis Cardinals staff.
Pfeffer engages in physical train
ing in the spring at least two weeks
before he attempts to twist a curve.
Pfeffer exerts himself only in a
pinch. Strikeouts mean nothing to
him. He works on the theory that he
has eight other players to help him.
In other words Pfeffer advises:
Don't wear yourself out on each
batter. Mix 'em up and don't call
upon all of your power and strength
until they have you where you have
to keep them from scoring one run.
Works on His Batter.
II keep them away from the bat
ter's favorite spot with slow curves
and only an occasional fast one. The
arm cannot stand the strain Of one
fast ball after another. At least
that's my theory and although
have just passed my Saith birthday
my arm feels as good as it did the
first day l arrived in the big league"
Pfeffer, by pitching winning ball
for nine straight years and starting
the present season with six victories
and one defeat, is considered one of
the stars of the National League. II
musk not be forgotten that he has
passed over the line Of youth several
years ago, yet he has not lost his cf-
fectiveness.
His trade to the St. Louis Cardi-
nails during the summer of 1921
proves the uncertainty of baseball
marketing. Branch Hickey always
