GUESS WORK is TAKEN

Jelly making was necessarily q

Jelly Is simply the result Of combining
sugar, acid and pectin in the proper
proportions, says Mrs Kathryn 3. Niles,
foods instructor of the home economies
division. University Farm, ST. Paul
Fruits that are ideal for jellies are
rich in pectin and moderately acid as
indicated by their tart taste. But the
old rule of equal measure Of sugar
and juice" is not always successful, so
it is best to make a simple test This
may done by taking one tablespoon
each of jelly juice and denatured alco-
hol or witch hazel, stirring the mixture
and allowing it to stand for few min
utes. The resulting gelantinous mass

sugar to juice A thick, fairly solid
piece indicates sufficient pectin to use
equal parts of sugar and Juice Juices
low in pectin may be concentrated by
boiling and then retested.
BY the use of commercial pectins,
juices and fruits of splendid color and
flavor, but heretofore undesirable as
good jellying fruits" may be made into
excellent jellies. preserves, and jams
The use of pectin reduces the cost, in
creases the yield Of jelly as compared
to the old method, and extends the
jelly making throughout the entire
year.
Beginners should follow direction ex-
plicitly as given with the particular
pectin used By judging the finished
product, however, changes in the
amount Of pectin used may be made
according to individual standards or
family tastes

mix Training has peen done under
the instruction Of II. F. Mcfarland
and assistance of George Crago, Safety
Inspector, and Mr. Hoftiezer of the u.
S. Bureau of Mines. Every man on the
team has taken keen interest in the
work and are to be congratulated upon
the high point of efficiency they have
attained in the proper care and treat
ment of all injuries.
The Zenith mine has made an ex-
cellent safety record this year. Begin
ming November /, 1928, of the Safety
Year, this property has gone seven
months without a disability accident,
a record seldom attained at an under
ground property Everyone on the job
has contributed their part and are to
such splendid record.
A party of local citizens among which
were Drs. Parker and Sutherland,
Peter Shaefer and James L Laing wit
messed demonstration of the active
work of the team Monday afternoon.
The party came away very much i'm
pressed, and praises were showered on
the members by Drs. Parker and Suth-
erland who pronounced the work al
most perfect in every detail
Six of the most difficult problems in
mine accidents were demonstrated un-
der the captaincy of Lish Labeau,
superintended by II. F. Mcfarland.
Splints, bandages and restoratives were
applied to the victim Of the accident
for injuries of every nature from a
burn, Commissions, broken bones to a,
broken back Messrs. LaBeau, Trem-
bath, Graham, the Dejak Brothers and
Labernik, came through every test
without slip and the time made was
remarkable. Each and every one had
a share in the work and all performed
their parts with machine-like precis-
sion.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that this
team will come through the prelimin-
aries with colors flying and viii re-
present the p. M. Co., at the Inter
national meet at Kansas City.

tice is extremely dangerous The
patrolmen have warned many drivers
but they reach only a portion of the
offenders. Every time driver violates
this rule he runs the risk of serious
accident
Another dangerous practice is stop
ping to look at cars which have been
in accidents. If you are first on the
scene, and can be of help, stop by all
means, but pull your car to the side
OF the road. If the injured have been
taken care OF, keep moving. A con-
geStion of cars at the scene of an
accident very often leads to more ac-
cidents and helps no one.

BIRDS. IMPORTANCE
TO THE EARTH CITED

'It is a known fact that should
every bird in the world drop dead
today, there would not be single
human being on the face Of the earth
after q period of three years"
These are the words of state game
warden, Martin <. Nelson, Fertile,
Mimi, who recently admonished q
group Of boys in that town for con-
Quoting so-called sparrow hunts.
Threatening first that arrests would
follow should any of the cuiprits be
caught, the game warden softened his
tone in explaining the necessity of
bird life to mankind, and urged that
the youths pay more attention than
to destruction Of the feathered
brethren
1T may interest you to know" he
declared, that our very life depends
upon an abundance Of bird life. Should
all birds be removed, insect pests would
increase to such an extent that all
vegetation would be destroyed, with
resultant dire effects upon humanity"
Quoting from a department Of agri-
culture bulletin, he said: Birds ap-
peal strongly to the interests and az
fections of mankind Not only do
they charm by their neat forms, har-
nlonius colors, sprightIy actions and
unusually pleasing notes, but they
have an even more important claim
upon our esteem because of their great
economic value
Birds feed ON practically al In
sect pests. They are voracious, able
to move freely from place to place,
and exert a steady influence in keep
ing down the swelling tide Of insect
life"

LEGATION of the Minnesota game and
fish department, editorially commend
ed MIR. Nelson's instructions to the
youths, and urged that all boys and
girls make the acquaintance Of your
local game warden. You viii find him
man of understanding, willing to
share his knowledge of wild life with
you. and eager to explain any Of the
game and fish laws which may per-
pick you"

D. 81. R. EARNINGS
INCREASE FOR 1929

An increase of 1851. l87 in the gross
earnings of the Duluth & Iron Range
railway of Duluth for the first half
of 1929 over the earnings of the first
six months in 1928 was reported to
the state tax commission today:
For the first six months of this year
the carrier had gross earnings or
s., 804, 240, on which it paid tax CT
sl40,612. In 1898 for the correspond
ing period it earned $2123,053 and
paid a tax of $106,l52. Increase in
the activity of the iron ore mines
which furnished the carrier with a
large share of its business accounted
for the increase.

NEW RICE HARVESTER
MEETING WITH PROTEST.

George w. Mccullough, state game
and fish commissioner, was called to
Deer River, Itasca county, to investi-
gate protests of many Indians and
white settlers in that area who have
petitioned him to halt the plan of
owners of a new machine to harvest
wild rice grown in lakes in that area.
with it.
A large portion Of the income of
many of the residents there, particu-.
larly the Indians, is produced through
the harvest of wild rice in primitive
fashion of beating the rice seeds into
their canoes with old fashioned fails.
In this method considerable amount
of the seed drops into the lake. keep
ing crop of rice growing year after
year.
The claim against the machine is
that 1t is too efficient, taking most of
the rice and leaving practically nothing
with which to reseed.

WAGONS OR BUGGIES MUST
HAVE LIGHT OR MIRROR.

A highway bulletin calls attention
TO the amendment to the traffic law
adopted this year requiring horse drawn
vehicles using the highways at night
to have either lighted lamp or a
reflector. The new state patrolmen
are cautioning persons who have failed
TO comply with this law, but the bulle-
TN points out that if you drive a
wagon without a light or reflector, It
VIII be lot worse to have speeding
car hit you than to have a patrolman
pun up along side you. In collisions
between motor and horse drawn vehi-
cles, the latter usually get the worst Of
It and the Law was intended largely for
their protection.

Copperhead Snake B Inches Long
 Killed Near Shuttle Meadow Lake

Working in the brush near shut tie Meadow reservoir about 100 feet from the highway on the west side or of the lake, engineers in the en- ploy of the city water department last evening killed copperhead snake which measured 35 inches in length.

It was first dis covered by Frederick Senf of 417 Chestnut street, who had gone ahead of the party with the rod. Mir. Senf's companions, G. w. Wood and D. N.

men who have been with snake shows in other parts of the coun- try tConnecticut laws prohibit snake shows here) positively iden- tified the reptile as a copperhead.
 The snake has been skinned and the skin now is on q board at the Senf home.
 The copperhead is member of the moccasin family and is allied to the rattler but has no rattles. It derives it's name from it's color, which is of different shades of cop per with stripes in the form of hour glasses. Its eyes are stld 10 shine like tiny copper bulbs when fighting. Its bite Is extremely poi sonouS and usually fatal unless treated at once. It is quicker and more aggressive than a rattlcsnake.
 Copperheads are not as familiar in this section as they were a few years ago. although it is only a short time since a theological stu Gent was bitten at q West Hartford reservoir. The Copperhcad is pecu- liar to eastern United States and ire quents wet and damp places. A few years ago COpp2rhcads were plenti- ful in the vicinity of Shuttle Mead oW reservoir.

New York State Execu- tive Makes Letter from Law Enforce ment Head Public at Conference in New London.
Writer Urges Division of Responsibility in Making 18th Amendment Effec- tive-Would Make States Enforce Statute on Re- tail Trade.

New London, July 16 P-Gover- nor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, speaking at the governors conference which opened here today. read letter from George w. Wick ersham, head of President Hoover's law enforcement commission, in which Wickersham pointed out tho weaknesses of the federal prohibit tion enforcement act, and suggested plans for strengthening it.
 The letter, described by Governor Roosevelt as the first public express sion of the law enforcement chief on the subject, points out that en- forcement Of the Volstead act has rested chiefly on the shoulders Of the federal government.
 Would Divide Responsibility
 It suggests that some feasible means of dividing the burden of en- forcement between states and na- tional government be found and that states be given police jurisdic- tion over the retailing" end of the 'pecuniarily profitable crime" of liquor law violation and the national government retain policing power over the wholesale end of the busi- ness"
 Wickersham's letter assured Gov ernor Roosevelt that prohibition be- ing most serious subject" will De one of the chief national problems to be investigated by the law en- forcement commission.
 The 18th amendment, the letter i declares, confers upon the states concurrent Jurisdiction with the na- tional government for the enforce ment of this measure, but that thus far the federal government alone has borne the brunt of the enforce ment. That measure is written into the constitution of the United States. It seems to me the governors con- ference might well consider ap- preaching the federal government On some feasible proposal to share the burden Of enforcement.
