GUILTY

Charles Ahrens, pleading guilty to
a charge of carnal knowledge, was
sentenced by Judge 1. NJ Olsen to the
state prison at Saltwater for a term
of seven years and was taken there
Saturday of last week. Ahrens made
his getaway after an escapade here
recently and was traced by Sheriff
Kise to Minneapolis and brought back
to his home county for trial. His
capture and sentence close a long
series of attempts by authorities in
Redwood and other counties to get
this man on various bootlegging and
other alleged charges. His final cap
ture is regarded as an evidence of
the excellent work done by the Red
wood County officials. Fred Knapp
sentenced to a year and half at
Saltwater on a charge of selling
liquor to a minor, also began his
sentence Saturday. These two con-
victions closed the criminal work of
the calendar which included a num-
ber Of indictments returned by the
OranQ jury.
In the case of Evelyn Kemnitz
versus the village of Vesta the plain
tiff was given verdict of $125. The
case of the State Bank of Redwood

FORD STERLING IS ISPHOTOGRAPHER
Movie Star Finds Much Pleasure
 in His Work

Hollywood, Cal ., June l1.-Whcn Ford Sterling the film comedian, is not working he often may he seen out in the country snapping pie lures, or, with cotton stuffed in his ears attending q theater of the spoken drama.
 Before becoming a comedian, even before the old Keystone company days, Sterling dabblad in painting and sculpture. After beginning his screen career this hobby. according 10 his description, was too widely separated from his work, so he took up artistic photography.
 As a result the actor has in his home prize awards from many of the largest photographic exhibitions in the world. Eighty of his prints now are abroad.
 Tt may sound rather strange that I should stuff cotton in my ears when ] attend theaters," he said, "I don't do it the first time l see a play. but if like it then I go back with my mulllcrs and study the pan tomime.
 "If the pantomimc Is good l gather in the fine points. It is is weak then l benefit by building it up in my mind"
 Comedy. Sterling explained, con stantly is changing and the success ful actor must study continuously 10 keep abreast and improve.
 "Whcn | started out in the old Eioerapb days, comedy was con fined 10 elaDsticl,. There was no mental effort It was 6 long period of pic-throwing Suddenly, slap stick dropped away and today our uost comedy is becoming more and moro subtle"

Overlooking Of trucks is the big
cause of excessive tire wear. Per-
haps no part Of the truck is subjected
to greater strain on overloads than
the tires
Where pneumatics are used this
practice does as much damage to truck
tires as complete disregard Of the
rules of imitation. With regard to the
latter subject, the tire manufacturers
instructions on imitation of truck tires
should be observed consistently. Over
imitation is, in most cases, as danger
GUS as underinfation.
Even braking is necessary to obtain
maximum wear and tear. Assuming
even pull the proper place to make
first adjustment is at the brake band
or shoe, not at any other part Of the

Color FGsfness Depends
on Chemical Composition

1t is a common fallacy that green,
lavender, or some other color is less
fast than blue or pink. Fastness de-
ponds on the chemical composition of
the dye used, not on the color, states
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Dyestuffs are grouped into
various classes according to their COM
position; and the dyes in some classes
are more fast than those in others.
Thus, a green, blue, or any other
fabric may have received its color
from any one of number of differ
ent dyestuffs varying widely in per-
manency. without knowing just what
kind of a dye was used-and it is
practically impossible for the con-
sumner to tell this-the fastness of
color in two fabrics cannot be pre-
dicted. A dye that is one of the poor
est of its class may have been used
on one of the fabrics, while the other
may have been dyed with one Of the
best.

Projections on Tenders
Likely to Iniure Tires

Be careful that sharp turn Of the
front wheels does not bring the tire
in contact with spring fender or
bumper. AS the wheel turns this pro-
lection will quickly cut through the
tread of the tire. When the car is
heavily loaded there is danger that In
passing over rough roads the tires will
be bumped or gouged by projections
on the tenders. Bent or broken fend-
ers may also be In position where
they will gouge the tires, Inspect be-
meath the fender and make sure that
there are no projections which could
strike upon the tire. You may find
bolts rubbed smooth and bright by con-
tinuous rubbing on the tires. If a
change is made to oversize tires, be
sure that there will be sufficient
clearance between tire and fender
when the car is loaded to capacity.
This is. however, provided by most
car manufacturers.

HOT PACK CANNING
REDUCES SPOILAGE
Method Found to Be Quick
and Easy to Operate.


prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Hot pack canning is the feature or
a bulletin by DIR. Louise Stanley just
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture telling how to
can fruits and vegetables in the home.
The hot pack is a quick and easy
method which combines all the good
points of the other popular methods
and has some additional advantages of
its own.
Briefly, the hot pack method is to
wash and otherwise prepare the yege-
table or fruit for canning, cook it for
ten or fifteen minutes in water or
strip in a kettle, pack it boiling hot
into the glass jars or tin cans, and
process in. the water bath or pressure
Gamer according to the time and
temperature recommended. This short
precooking of the fruit or vegetable
willis and shrinks 1t so that it can
be packed more easily. 1t drives
out the air and makes exhausting
unnecessary. Most important of all,
the food packed boiling hot into the
Jars or cans and put at once into
the hot Gamer reaches the temporal
ture required for processing far soon
er than If it were packed cold, and
makes possible shorter processing
periods. Moreover, heat penetrates
more uniformly during canning and
the food in the center of the jar is
more likely to be properly processed.
This cuts down the chances of spoil
age, for it is proper processing more
than all else that determines whether
canned foods keep or spoil.
The directions given throughout the
bulletin are concise. Wherever pos
sible the scientific reasons behind
them are stated so that the home
maker will understand why she must
follow directions If she wants to put
up foods that viii keep. Types of
water-bath Gamers for use with fruits
and tomatoes and pressure Gamers
for use with all other vegetables are
described and illustrated. A series
of pictures and brief statements give
the steps in canning in glass Jars
and tin cans. Directions and time
tables for handling the various fruits
and vegetables from apples to straw
berries and from asparagus to sweet
potatoes are included. Requests
should be made to the United States

corning brake adjustments from the
vehicle manufacturers book Of In
structions.
A severe shock, such as results in
striking curb, may spring the
knuckle rod, thus throwing the front
wheels out Of proper adjustment. This
results In hard steering and excessive
wearing of tires, either solid or pneu-
matics In a case which recently
came to my attention an operator
completely ruined a pair of pneumatic
tires on 5O-mile drive after slight
accident.
The front wheels should not be lined
up exactly parallel Tie rod adjust
ments should produce a ''toe-in" Of
one-fourth to one-half of an inch in
the front wheels (see manufacturers
instructions for exact dimensions and
method of making adjustment),
fabrication of all steering gear con-
nections, including steering knuckles
at regular intervals, is necessary. The
majority of "hard steering" complaints
are due to lack Of fabrication.
