WE HAVE RUMOR-MONGERS RIGHT HERR

Too often, when we see posters about rrmor-spreading or
sabotage by word of mouth, we are prone to conclude that
these cautions apply to major military or production centers.
Such isn't the case; in every town and hamlet there are in
sidious efforts to hamper the war effort.
Don't believe it? Well tell you of one case right in Valley
county. During the recent Second war loan campaign, a dam
aging story was spread in one of our communities. 1t was to
the effect that war bonds would become worthless as soon as
the present combat was ended. Many unthinking people, for
getting that such bonds are just as much a pledge of payment
by the treasury as a five-dollar bill, spread this story. War bond
chairman found this community falling down in its purchases
because of this false and vicious statement. Just a bit of logical
thinking proved how untrue it was; but many people unthink-
ingly accepted it at face value. The story has a happy ending,
for the rumor was counteracted and the community achieved its
quota.
Another story, spread most widely over Glasgow, had it
that virtually all of a squadron that had trained at the airbase
here, had been wiped out in combat. Many loyal and good
citizens repeated this masterpiece of fiction, although a check
revealed its utter falsty.
In both cases we mention, some effort was made to check
found but it may be.
These are only two samples of many manufactured tales that
are being spread in an effort to hamper the war effort on the
home front. They are usually started through malice by some
BODY whose interests are not friendly to the United States. 1t
is a shame that they are carried on by people who really are
loyal, if t~houghtless, citizens.
Here are two things to remember about such stories: First
don't pass them along unless you are certain of their truth and
certain of the source from which they come. Second, be on the
alert for rumor-spreaders. If you suspect someone OF making
such statements maiciously, report your suspicious to some
local law officer. He will be glad, in cooperation with federal
agents, to set the machinery of investigation in motion. In most
cases, a little thought will reveal how ridiculous most OF these
stories are.

~ATULA BOSS!

This is being published, as the lawyers say, without your
knowledge or consent, in our belief that the 3Oth anniversary
of The Courier's life under the same ownership should not
go by unnoticed. 1t was in August, 1913, that you came to
Glasgow to become publisher of The Courier. This was then
a young and robust community, not many years removed from
the frontier. 1t has seen many changes and vcissitudes since
then. A glance at those 1913 files will demonstrate, not only
the advances in the community, but the many improvements
in the newspaper. All of us, with varying lengths and degrees
of service, share with you what we know is a pride in your
community and paper. We feel that you have contributed much
to the development of both. If your modesty shrnks at what
we have to say, you have no alternative but to fire the whole
staff, for we are all signing our names to this congratulatory
message with the hope that you'll have many more years like
those that have passed.

To prepare peaches for canning
immerse them in boiling water for
about one-half minute or until the
skins will slip easily, plunge at once
into cold water for a few seconds,
into halves and discard the pits.
Peaches may be packed raw but
a better pack is obtained if they
r precooked for a few minutes.
Precooking brings out juice which
is usually sufficient to cover the
fruit. Juice is extracted more rea-
Oily from sliced peaches than from
halves. If peaches are juicy heat
slowly to boiling point and add
sugar to help draw out the juice.
Be careful not to cook until they
+ soft.
If peaches are of less juicy var
ieties. a sirup may be prepared and
peaches cooked in the strip. Pack
the pre-cooked peaches quickly.
Cover with the boiling juice or Sirup
in which they were pre-cooked. If
necessary, add a little boiling hot
water, since fruit must be covered
by liquid. Process Is minutes in
hot water bath, if packed hot.
Mixtures OF vegetables that go
well together in canning for soup
may include two or more of the
following: Tomato pulp, corn, lima
beans, peas, okra, carrots, turnips,
celery, onions, pimentos and sweet
and red peppers. Wash and trim the
vegetables and cut in small pieces
or cubes. Keep the diced carrots
and turnips covered with water OF
weak brine to prevent darkening.
Seasonings should be light and may
include sugar, salt, white pepper,
dashes of cayenne and garlic, pars-
ley, thyme and bayleaf.
Bread may be kept longer in hot
weather by placing it in the re-
frigerator.

Conservation
Hints on Preserving Foods,
Fruits and Vegetables
BY FLORENCE p. ELLIOTT
Home Demonstration Agent

If you have split cabbages, the
best way to prevent waste is to
make kraut. Here is a simple meth
cd. Shred the cabbage and pack
firmly into quart glass jars. Place
two teaspoons of salt in the top
of each jar, then fill with boiling
water. Lay the covers on loosely
and allow the jars to stand at room
temperature to permit fermenta-
ton. When fermentation ceases
partially seal the jars and pro-
cess in a boiling water bath for
80 minutes.
Try drying corn for winter eat
ing. Use only good, fresh corn, Sc
eating. Husk ears, cut out all de-
minutes, or better, steam on the
cob Is minutes to set the milk in
the. kernels. Next cut corn from
cob with a sharp knife. In cloud
less arid climates drying may be
done in the sun. Lay a thin cloth
over wire trays, window screens or
Stat trays. Then cover with a half
inch layer of corn. Cover corn with
another thin layer of cloth to keep
out insects and dirt. Place in sun.
Stir two or three times a day. Be
sure to take in trays at night be-
fore dewfall or before a shower.
Many homemakers find oven dry
ing more satisfactory. The best tenn
perature is $50 degrees. Leave the
oven door ajar and turn trays v
cry half hour. Be careful to avoid
scorching, especially near the end
of drying period, which is about 8
hours. The dried corn can be packed
in glass jars, using rubber rings for
an air tight seal. and jars should
be stored in a cool, dark, dry place.

BOMBS FOR THE HOMELAND

in, the sum actually realized was
