SAYS FARMERS MUST

Farm co-operatives as planned un-
der the Federal Farm Board are
nothing less than big business con-
Germs and their greatest fault is that
they lack the powers of big indus

tern wheat farmers, magnates of the

There is no power to force men,

one Western farmer declared, nor is
there any assurance that they will

bad year. Many smaller farmers, he

MHERE are many records Of
Ukcanned foods which have been
kept for decades and found to
be in perfect condition when
opened, and, although in the fol-
lowing account by Prudence
Penny Of the New York American,
pf how the life Of an aged German
Invalid was saved by means Of
canned foods that were kept for
less than a decade, it furnishes a
vivid illustration Of what modern
scientific methods of canning
mean to our civilization. This
story, which appeared in a recent
Issue Of this newspaper, reads as
follows:
"I was in Germany-Leipzig to
be exact-in 1923, during those
Wild days when the value of the
mark sunk to depths unheard of;
poverty and all it's attendant ills
we're the order of the day, and it
was dificult for the vast majority
of the Germans to buy enough
food to sustain the spark of life
in them.

had a dear old penniless invalid

INCREASING THE STRENGTH
OF COTTON

Official tests, and experiments
made by manufacturers show that
concentrated solutions of caustic
soda have a peculiar effect upon cot
ton. The fibers swell up, become
cylindrical and semi-transparent.
This tends to overcome the ribbon
like and undesirable natural twist
that raw" cotton fibers, of whatever
degree of excellent. have.
The story of how cotton is pro
cessed" to give it added strength and
beauty, a subtle luster not inherent
to it, and greater degree of porous
ness and absorbency is the subject
of an article appearing in the Home
Economics Teachers Magazine for
June. Amazing, natural and chemi-
cal actions are described regarding
this processing or durenizing of cot

ton
While the caustic soda is sur
rounding and acting upon the fibers,
making them become cylindrical and
semi-transparent, their interior Ca
nal practically disappears. This is
because the cell walls swell up and
fill the space allotted by nature. Fol-
lowing the soda immersion, there
comes a bath which neutralizes the
soda. Then the yarns are rinsed
several times in clear water and
dried.
But even this simple-sounding
washing with clear water has a
scientific effect 1t causes a chemi-
cal transformation into cellulOse
hydrate and is really as essential to
durening cotton as is the action of
the caustic soda itself. The clear
water-bathing also removes all eX-
cess of caustic soda which the cot
ton has tendency to hold on to

A very tricky way Of imbibing
summer beverages, and one which
has a future, especially with the
younger set who like to- hnger
over the glasses between tennis

truly meditative over.

is more like a salad, using
chopped olives, creamy mayon-
naise, and bits of pimiento for
stufing, and nested in a lettuce
heart like a bud among leaves.
For salads, the popular way is
to use both fresh and canned
fruits in unusual combinations,
pack them into tightly-covered
jars and take along lettuce
wrapped in waxed paper, ready
to serve with the salad.

The change from the original dull
appearance of natural cotton to the
soft, effective luster of durened cot
ton is partially due to the fact that
the fibers afterwards lie straight
along the yarn, having lost the OBJ
jectionable natural twist.
Other changes, not so easily OBJ
servable, take place. BY means OF
the durene processing Of cotton its
strength is increased about 20 per
cent as is its absorbency. Affinity
to dyestuffs is greatly increased,
from 20 to 40 per cent less cOlOring
matter being required than in the
dyeing of ordinary cotton.

A Vatican Dressing Table

Now, we give these outings
all sorts of new names and
new occasions: the apple blossom
luncheon with bridge tables under

supper with music and dancing
in the moonlight; companionate
dinner, with each guest bearing
in their car a different course, hot
or cold, in thermos pack.
But, after all, they are very
much the same old picnics, born
of the out-of-door and food urge,
which prompted mother to work
late the night before, icing the cup
cakes and deviling eggs, father to
carry the basket and fishing
tackle, and the whole family, bas-
ket and bundle laden, to meet the

LIVING IN HOPE

Mans attitude toward death is indeed
an odd one Some men scorn it. taking
chance after chance that endangers their
lives. Others carefully shield themselves
from anything that might expose them
to danger and forfeiture of the life to
which they cling so tenaciously.
The former class may live To a ripe old
age and die peacefully in their beds, or
they may be snuffed out in 2 moment.
1t matters little to them. The latter, de-
spite all their care, may meet sudden
death in a horrible manner.
William kogut was facing death. The
state was going to hang him for murder.
He didn't fear death but he did not want
the state to take his life. Therefore he
constructed a homemade bomb IN ms
death cell. showing almost devilish in
genuity. and blew in the side Of his head.
Death resulted after several hours.
The oldest part of the story about
kogut is the revelation that 10 others con-
fined in the death row at San Quentin
were scared stiff by the bombs eXplos-
ion They are facing certain death, yet
the noise and conclusion of the bomb
scared them. They feared death, YET 1t
is approaching nearer and nearer to them
each day. with 4 certainty that IS not
accorded to all of us.
Why should these fear a bomb? The
only answer is the old one, while there
is life there is hope, and none cling
more strongly to the faintest hope than
those who have been condemned to death
by the state.
