Grape Jelly Free
From Crystals OF
Cream OF Tartar

In order to make a better grade
of grape jelly this season, jelly that
will be free from cream of tartar
crystals. the Chemistry Department
OF the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion would like to offer a sugges-
tion.
The grapes are stemmed, washed
and mashed In a kettle. A cup of
water for every three quarts of
grapes is added to keep the fruit
from burning down. The mashed
"pcs are heated until boiling and
boiled for ten minutes. The juice is
squeezed through a moistened dou-
BILE layer of cheesecloth and tnen
strained through a flannel cloth
which has been dipped in boiling
water. This much is regular pro-
cedure.
BY cooling this extracted juice
and then by further chilling in the
refrigeratoT for at least twenty
four hours crystals of cream of tar
tar will form in quantity. These
may be removed by straining the
juice cold through a flannel cloth.
From this point the jelly making
is carried out according to regular
methods. If the new "Jelly-Meter"
method is used two tablespoonfuls
of Juice should be warmed to room
temperature and the viscosity mea-
sured, Using the tables, add the
correct amount of sugar and cook
tG the weight given.
Since the cream of tartar crystals
were removed from the juice they
will not form in the jelly. A better
favored product will be the result
without gritty crystals which make
you wonder II they are particles of
glass.

Things One Remembers
BY r. NJ. HoFER

Newspapers of the country recent
ly carried the story of Richard Ill
ram, the Jersey City, New Jersey,
barber who appealed to General
Hugh S. Johnson for protection
against "the persecution and pros
ecution" of New Jersey code author
tiles whose action caused him to
close his barber shop because of in
ability to operate under state code
prices in his neighborhood, in a
poor section of the city. ,
He said, 'I can open only when
haircuts will be 80 cents and shaves
20 cents" and that he would either
have to ignore the state code prices
and be jailed or obey the 50-cent
haircut and 25-cent shave minimums
and go out of business. Ulham is
cripple and left without livelihood.
This happened in the United States
not in Russia or Germany.

Fenderton received this with dignifed dis
pleasure but he could not get May to say
lightly that she would be engaged. She would
not be rushed no matter how insistent Fender
ton might be.
mo, Fenderton," she said. Il won't say 1t
now. I can't think calmly enough with you
right here Fenderton. You let me think about
it tonight, and tomorrow can go to the
movies again, and I'll tell you then, Fenderton."
With this Fenderton had to be content. He
was not wholly displeaSed for he had had the
glow Of this important love talk with dear May
Middleton. 1t was not until he was nearly
home that he remembered that he had only
IL cents in his pocket and that at the very
least he would need 60 cents for him and May
10 attend the movies.
7 HE next morning, although he usually tried
to avoid breakfasting with his father who
was normally in his worst temper then, Fen
aerton was down early.
Father" he asked nervously as Mr.. Roper
hid behind his newspaper, do you think it
would be all right if you let have a little
money!"
Mr.. Roper lowered his paper with a gesture
OF displeasure. He scowled at his son as
If Fenderton were some particularly noxious

dertou's mother. "And don't you give him q
cent-not q cent?" he shouted.
mo, dear; no, WON'T said Mrs Roper
weakly.
Lazy, worthless, incompetent loafer" shouted
Mr. Roper, meaning, it seemed, Fenderton
and not Mrs. Roper. "Loafing around and
playing with girls and smashing up police
carsl I've stood enough of it.
Look here" he cried pointing a finger at
Fenderton. You see that lawn out there?
l want 1t cut. You loafing around and spend.
ing my money and that lawn in that shame
full conditionl When I come home tonight
want to see that lawn cut-every inch of it.
Understand?"
Fendertons father flung down his napkin
and hung himself out of the house Mrs Roper
was weeping mildly, slipping her coffee and
nibbling her toast and dabbing at her ewes
between nibbles. Fenderton finished his break
fast hastily.
Never you mind, mother" he said as he
paused to pat her shoulder on his way out.
It's not your fault if he is Just hard old
eyrant. Don't you worry; know how to handle
him."
"Fenderton!" cried his mother in alarm.
You're not going to do anything rash?"
I'm going to cut that darned old lawn"
said Fenderton bitterly, that's what I'm going
to do"
In the garage, with its handle leaning against
the wall, Fenderton found the lawnmower and
he kicked one Of its wheels disgustedly, but not
violently enough to injure the toe of his natty
sport shoe.
Come on out here, then" he said graspng
the handle.
The mower bumped the sill of the
garage door and Fenderton turned it about
and leaned against the handle and pushed the
mower the full length of the yard. The grass
was long and the pushing was heavy and at
the front fence Fenderton turned and looked
at the huge expanse of lawn, and he was not
happy.
"Just q cheap, old common grass-cutter,
that's what that old tyrant thinks am" he
said to himself bitterly. '"Wen guess he'll

mel"
AS MIR. ROPER had been demanding for a
month that Fenderton get job and show
that he was not utterly useless, it is not quite
clear where Fenderton's revenge would come in,
but that did not worry Fenderton. When a
young man is insuted he does not stop to
consider such trivial matter as logic.
Hello, boss" said voice almost at Fender
tons shoulder, and he turned and saw lank,
raggedy, youngiSh man leaning on the fence.
He was q sturdy but hungry looking man, in
q hit-or-miss assortment of garments, with
ragged sneakers on his feet.
"Lemme cut that grass, boss begged the
man. Honest, amt earned nothin' this week.
got to earn some money, boss; lemme cut
your grass"
The stranger seemed a godsend, but Fen
derton was apprehensive.
II haven't GOT" Fenderton began, and
then he asked, "How much do you want for
cutting it?" The man looked at the lawn
speculatively.
Two fifty, boss" the man said and Fender
ton thought, $50 that's what the old tyrant
ought to pay me, and I've got to do it for
nothing"
I'm sorry" he began, but the man in
terrupted him.

Can't you give me the job?"
"Well-" said Fenderton heSitantly, and
then: "An right you can cut it."
He dropped the handle of the mower. He
remembered that he had promised to take May
Middleton to the movies where he would receive
the answer to the important question he had
asked, and that all he had IL cents.
"You 60 ahead and cut it, then" he said, as
he moved toward the gate. land when you get

FEW minutes later Miss Ann Digby, with
" Miss Jane Digby at her side, was listening
to Fenderton with surprise She could not be-
Ieve that the elegant Fenderton Roper actually
wanted to cut grass.
"Why, Fenderton!" she exclaimed. "You
mean you want to cut our grass?"

ITALIAN CREDIT
 TREND GAINING
Fascists Term It Proof of Financial Sincerity
 By Public
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN limited PrcSs Staff COrresDOndcnt) !

Rome (UP)-proof of public confidence bred by what the Fas- cist government terms as it's "fi- nancial sincerity" is reflected in the steady upward trend of govern ment credit and in the ready re- sponse of the public to any appeals from the treasury, according to the business and financial report of the Confederation of Italian industries.
 The year of 1894 finds the de- hation of business enterprise well nigh completed, the report stated Tn this field, the years task. will be to mplete the process of liq- is now we'll under way.
 The first results obtained by the Fascist government, through the series of measures taken to insure the financing of production and to afford protection to national savings were, according to the of- ficial report.
 (a) Confidence shown by the public in the financing institutions set up under government control.
 (b) Facility with which the market absorbed the debentures these institutions issued.
 Co Success attending the steps so far taken to liquidate frozen credits and simplify business structures, as in the cases of the Termn, the Italgas and the Sip.
 These results, the report stated, justify the forecast that 1884 will see great progress made in wind ing up the liquidation section of the Institute for Industrial Re- construction. These results also are reflected in the growing strength of the Ban kof Italy.
 It is recalled by Italian econo- mists that the Duce said that Italy plans to remain country of diversified economy. with strong agriculture, 0 sound industrial system based prevalently on small and medium sized enterprise, a banking system alien to specula- tive activities, and a commercial system designed to fulfill its prop CT function of swift dneeonom- ical go-between, bringing the products of farm and factory to the ultimate consumer.

at the jail an dwas subjected to the threat of Dillinger's wooden gun.
 The state investigation was call ed by Attorney General Philip J. LutZ, Jr.
 The warden, Lew Baker, also was one of the jail attendants victimized. it was from Bakers office that Dillinger obtained ma- chine guns. All the guards were locked in cells.
 John Baran, Lake county com missioner, called a special meeting of the county board todya. He was expected to ask for Sheriff Holley's resignation. She had boasted that Dillinger would not break her jall although he was known to be un- usually daring and to have power- ful and reckless allies.
 All of the investigators were expected to question those respon- sible for allowing Dillinger to visit with an unidentified woman two weeks ago and with former con- vict last week.
 The desperado's wooden gun was another source of conjecture. Eel loW-p prisoners revealed that Dil- finger had carved the toy from an old washboard with a razor blade. He had imbedded two blue steel razor blades into the sides of the gun to make it look more con- vincing and had inserted the handle of g. safety razor into the wooden barrel. Dillinger learned wood carving while imprisoned at the state prison at Michigan City.
 Fellow prisoners said Dillinger had shown them the gun and that when he thrust It against Calhoon he was prepared to laugh it off as a joke if the maneuver failed.
