PROPER CANNING METHODS
AVOID FOOD POISONING

Don't let food poisoning happen
in Minnesota this year.
Every year brings a total OF peo-
pie who have died from eating new
ly canned foods" says Miss Inez M.
Hobart, extension hutriticnist.
University Farm, st. Paul. when
the facts of these cases are learned
it is usually discovered that some
homemaker has tried to process
non-acid vegetables in the hot
water bath or oven. 1t Is known
that botulinus bacteria may be
present in these products and that
it takes a higher temperature to
destroy them than can be obtained
unless a pressure cocker is used for
processing"
Miss Hobart reports that Farm
er's Bulletin No. 1852, "Home Can
ming of Fruits and Vegetables and
It's Needs" gives the approved tenn
perature and time for processing
foods. Every homemaker should
have one of these bulletins to
which she can refer when doing
her canning, states Miss Hobart.
The bulletin may be obtained from
the Superintendent Of Document,
U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C. Miss Hobart
further emphasizes that If the
homemaker does not have a pres
sure cooker for these products, 1t
is wise to preserve them by storing,
drying, or brining.

This new program was adopted
by the Midwest Conference of Game

This longer season was accepted
as the result of extensive surveys

Heavy spring rains in this part of
the country filled the potholes, and
hunters look forward to a better

Weekly Concerts AT
Park Discontinued
IT'S Said "Skeeters" Are
Too Troublesome For Mu-
acknowledgements To All

Maddening hordes of little insects,
that besiege the city and the sur
rounding countryside, moved in the
past several weeks to claim lake
sides and parks and as far as one
group is concerned the blasted
"skeeters" can have the park.
This week Director p. w. Hanson
of the Sank Centre band, announced
that further concerts in the City
Park, although scheduled regularly
for each Thursday evening, will be
discontinued until further notice
because the mosquitoes are too
troublesome" It's pretty difficult to
keep a band functioning properly in
a concert with the musicians fight
ing off swarms of mosquitoes at the
same time, he indicated.
But the band members aren't the
only ones bothered. Cottagers, lake
side residents, fishermen, golfers
all find themselves in the paths of
the vicious little troublemakers.
To farmers, working in the fields,
and to livestock, mosquitoes have
proved bothersome. Some cases of
sleeping sickness, of which the mos
quito is branded carrier, have
been reported locally. Feeding cat
tie, in the community's pastures,
huddle in protective groups with
tails lashing at the swarms.
Gardeners search now for suit
able paraphenalia to beat the rap"
Of the evening mosquitoes. Queer
apparitions are found in the gar
dens as nettings are thrown over
hats to keep off the biters.
AT the lakes the singing hum of
the myriads of insects is audible
for some distance.

LOCAL PLAYERS
INJURED SUNDAY
Lost Game To WestpOrt
Oldtimers BY Score
OF 16 to 4HSecond Defeat

Four local baseballers were hurt
Sunday afternoon at Westport as a
result of bad hops and an uneven
infield when the Westport oldtim-
ers won a lop-sided victory over
the Sank Centre club 16 to 4.
Injured were Louis Butler, Stare
Kleinschmidt and Clarence Proell
Bad hops contributed to banged up
fingers for Stare, Kleinschmidt
and Proell.
Most serious injury was to But
Ter when he snapped a collarbone.
In an attempt to snare an infield
fly, Butler fell backwards, snapped
up the ball, and broke the collar
bone. But his catch made the put
out.
This game was return game
with the oldtimers who last week
won out in a last frame lacing z
to 2 over the senior Legion boys.
With the game smartly in control
2 to o, with the Westporters shut
out, the local boys relinquished the
title to the game in the 9Th and
9th, as seven runs breezed over the
plate.
Sank Centre was scarcely in this
game Sunday. Sorenson's chucking
wing went sore and Staree relieved
him. Last of the three pitchers
Sank Centre used was Soltau who
pitched for the last inning and a
half. Judkins went the route for
Westport.
Next Sunday manager Vern Sol
tau announced a return game with
West Union at the local lot at the
Fair Grounds. West Union is one
of the teams to taste defeat at the
hands of the local club earlier this
season.
