Distinction GiUen to
Grounds BY Shrubbery

Shrubbery about a dwelling is Of
equal, if not greater Importance
than trees. For, while trees give
shade and add to the general attrac-
tiveness of a place. shrubbery ties
the house to the ground" as it has
been expressed outlines boundaries
and provides that seclusion now con-
sidered both desirable and necessary.
In small cities and suburban towns,
where the custom often prevails Of
having the front yards in a block like
one big lawn, it might break the gen
eral scheme to put in a front hedge,
but shrubbery should be so massed in
foundation planting as to single out
that house as beautiful beyond all the
others left implanted, regardless of
size or cost. And, where the back
yards also have been thrown into one,
or separated by almost invisible wire
fences, that shrubbery following the
house foundation could be carried
around to the rear and extended onto
the lawn far enough to make a Sc
cluded outdoor room.
Taller shrubs, with a few of the
smaller trees, might be used In exc
cutting this idea without interfering
with the whole block scheme, but
beautifying the whole as seen from
distance.

The hot-pack is a quick and easy

of it's own.
Briefly, the hot-pack method is to

a kettle, pack it boiling hot into the
glass Jars or tin cans, and process in

Beauty Always Within
Reach of Small TolUn

Several Kansas towns are feeling
the urge of spring in a newborn de-
sire to be beautiful. In fairness to
Kansas it should be said that several
Kansas towns are already pleasant to
look upon and visit But there is more
to the urge than that, and something
the Emporia Gazette said recently on
the subject ought to set other towns
in other states to thinking about them
selves.
'We can be nice, decent, agricCl-
tural towns, with each town having
some small industry, some specially in
schools or local development like oil
But big plants-no! We are doomed
by our geography to be small towns.
Then why not be beautiful towns
Why not get the best out Of our towns,
and our lives? Why not apple bios
SONS in Arkansas City, roses in Eldo-
RADIO, cannas in Fredonia, redbuds in
Emporia? Surely if Japan can grow
famous over the world for beauty Of
it's cherry blossoms, we can make
something out of the beauty that lies
in our hands"
There is more to being a popular
and thriving town than having the
largest population or the biggest man
ufacturing plants or the most money.
And the sooner a lot of small towns
all over the country realize this, the
sooner they will begin to create
charm and distinction for themselves.
Even the towns that are already
beautiful have something to do in
maintaining their high standard. And
ing the most out of the beauty that
lies in their hands.-Kokomo Qnd.)

NeuO Rubber Rings Only
for Canning Home Food

Rubber rings for home canning food
In glass jars must be purchased new
each year, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t is being
penny wise and pound foolish to use
the same rubber rings twice, and Jars
of spoiled instead Of sweet canned
foods may be the result of such false
economy. The rubber ring is all-im-
portant to the air-tight seal in a glass
jar The best new rubber rings, there
fore, are none too good for home can
ming. The high temperature of proc
essing is hard on them and to with-
stand it they must be Of good quality
The simplest test is to double the
rings together and press the fold with
the finger. The rubber should not

Plant for Permanence

Above all things l would urge that
permanent planting, like trees and
shrubs and vines, be used. They are
the background of any gardening, any
where, and Old-fashioned plants are
always happy looking.
Even people who rent a house
should feel enough interest in making
the city itself beautiful to plant one
tree or shrub or vine each season. 1t
costs so little and they could get such
fun out of only one year of watching
it grow and if they stayed longer than
year they would find that nothing
gives you such a feeling of home as
watching something you have planted
grow each year into greater beauty

CANNED APRICOTS,
PEACHES AND PEARS
Useful for Many Tempting
Desserts and Salads.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
There are so many uses for home
canned peaches, pears, and, If you hap
pen to have them, for apricOts, that
it is well worth while to can a gener-
Gus supply of these good fruits, espe
cially if you have a home grown sur
plus. In some markets it may even
pay to buy peaches and pears for can
ming. In addition to their use as
breakfast fruits, there are many
be evolved with canned peaches or
pears as a basis-fruit mixtures, gela-
tin desserts, combinations with ice
cream or whipped cream, pastry, and
plain canned fruit with cake or
cookies.
These fruits may all be canned in
a water-bath. There are slight differ
ences in the preparation Of each fruit
for canning, and in the time of proc
ess1ng, but the general method Is
about the same.
Before preparing the fruit make a
thin or medium sirup to pour over 1t
in the jars. For q thin sirup put one
part of sugar into three parts of watec
and bring to the boiling point; for q
medium sirup use one part of sugar
to two parts of water The choice Of
sirup depends on personal taste and
the sweetness Of the fruit you are
using. In making the sirup for
peuches, an unusually fine flavor is
obtained by boiling a few cracked
peach pits in the sirup for five min
uteS.
Use only clean sound fruit, and can
1t as soon after picking as possible.
To remove the skin from peaches and
apricots, scald them and then dip them
a very large quantity of peaches, the
lye method of removing the skins may
be used Directions for doing this are
given in Farmers Bulletin 1471-F,
Canning Fruits and Vegetables at
Home" Send TO the United States De
partment of Agriculture for it. After
it has been peeled, cut the fruit into
halves or smaller pieces and remove
the pits. Pack at once, placing the
halves in overlapping layers, the con-
cave surface of each half downward.
Fill up the containers with boiling sir
up. Process quart and pint glass
jars for % minutes in boiling water
if the fruit is fairly hard and firm, or
for 20 minutes if it is ripe and tender.
Process No. 2 and No. 3 tin cans for
Is minutes.
Select firm sound pears that are not
overripe. Pare, quarter or halve them
and cook in boiling sirup for four to
eight minutes, according to the size and
ripeness of the fruit. This precook-
ing makes the hard varieties Of pears
pack better Pack the pears hot into
containers and fill them up with boil
ing sirup. Process containers Of all
sizes for 20 minutes in boiling water.

FLowers IN CITY Yards

A novel suggestion of great impor-
tance concerns the abandonment Of
grass in close-in city yards, and the
use of paved areas, surrounded by
beds in which plants are grown. The
fact that plants and many flowers can
be grown successfully under condi-
tions where lawns will fail is not gen
orally known. In cultivated beds it
is relatively easy to supply water and
renew plant foods; and species of
plants may be selected which best
endure city conditions

George 3. Ford, speaking to 1000
delegates at the national chamber of

asked why cities grow and then sought
to answer his own question. He men
toned four causes of growth-natural
advantage of position, nearness to raw
materials, nearneSS to market and
presence of skill derived from expert
ence. All these are causes for indus
trial development, he explained, and
produce population growth only
because industrial development leads
to population growth. Cities
grow because of Industrial activity"

So far as it is known there is nothing

High School Bands III
Nation Wide Contest


High School Bands from all over
the country participated in the nation
al contest for such organizations at
Fotsoria, Ohio, last week. It was a
treat to attend such a gathering, not
merely to hear music surprisingly
well done by young folk, but to see
youthful enthusiasm put into some
thing really improving.
It is frequently claimed that
young people put enthusiasm into ef-
forts that do not leave a permanent
result. The athletes success may not
help him much in his occupation, ex-
cept Of course as it has improved his
physical condition. But if he does
not keep up that improvement by con-
slant practice, the benefit stops.
But when you give boy an inter
est in music and skill at producing it,
he has permanent possession that
will always help him. Every High
school in Maryland ought to have a
school band or orchestra.
