Preserve What You Can;
Preserve" as many products in your
garden as you can, dry, evaporate,
pickle or brine. By the drying meth
od, all of the surplus water is driven
off by placing the products on trays in
the sun, over a stove, or before an
electric fan. Dried fruits and veg
etables can be kept in bags and boxes
tight enough to exclude insects.
Soaking in water will bring the prod
ucts back to a large extent to their
briginal state, and they may be cooked
like fresh products.
There may be a shortage of cans and
glass jars, but all kinds of receptacles
can be utilized. Put fruit juices in
ordieary bottles, sealing with a cork
and parafilne. Preserved or jammed
fruits or berries can be put in glasses,
and sealed with paratSne, or in wide.
necked bottles, if the cans and jars
are not readily obtainable.
Dry such vegetables as sweet corn,
snap and string beans, shelled beans,
shell peas and the root crops. If you
have plenty of cans or jars all of the
above named vegetables can be canned.
Do not have an empty container in
your home next fall. Do your part to
prevent food waste.

Robert Wethlhgtonj Adair Spoke
Co.,'s agent, at this place, has been re

about through with their crops and
will be ready for the timber business
in a few days.

Editor News:
I'm taking the pleasure which time
affords to send a few remarks to read
ers of The News. I am located twen
ty miles West of Bloomington, on the
Lake Erie and W. E. Y. This is a
tine agricultural section, but tfie crops
of all kinds are .Jate two weeks. Corn
planting and hay harvest are just now
in full blast. There is a great demand
for farm hands in this part of Illinois
and most farmers are paying good
wages.
All kinds of farm products are bring
ing good prices here. Corn is selling
at 1.61 per bu., oats 60c. per bu., and
flour $7.00 per cwt. Oat crop will av
erage GO bushel per acre in this sec
tion.
The most of the people here are very
sociable and considerate and seem to
have an air of hospitality akin to that
of the more southern States, but there
is one thing I do not tolerate, as the
people do up here, and that is negro
equality. " It is no common thing to
see the whites and blacks associating
together, just the same as if they were

A tierce race war broke out in East

groes residents were set on fire and ne

State guard was called out and the
situation is now fairly well in hand.
I can say that I like the northern
prairies very well bnt I believe that
the sun shines brightest, the birds
sing sweetest and the girls are the
prettiest in Kentucky. As it is get
ting late and as I've already taken up
quite a bit of space I had better close
by saying that in the happy sometime
in the sweet bye-and-bye when the
evil days come not; perhaps in a place
altogether unknown to me now, I'll
write again. Yours as ever

Take Notice:
Do you wish to enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that the Tombstone
or Monument you erect as a final tribute to the one you loved, and whose
memory you wish to pass down to posterity, will not only be a fitting and
beautiful memorial, but will also endure through ages to come? If you do,
your attention is called to the many monuments of Marble and Granite which
I have placed in the Cemetery at Columbia and surrounding burrying grounds,
which will show you the beauty and durability of the material used in their
construction, and attesting the care and neatness with which my woik is dona.
Call on O. P. Bush, Columbia, Ky., and tell him what you want, and he
will make you prices within easy reach of all. Give him your order and you
will be sure to get the best on the market.

Destroy Filth and You Won't Have
to Swat.
Until a few years ago, a so called
philosopher was held up to children as
a model of kindness to Gods creatures,
because he is alleged to have carefully
taken a fly and putting it ont of the
window said: "Go little fly, there is
plenty of room for thee and me."
This sounds pretty, but a fly is the
last thing the old fellow should have
selected to show his moderation. It
is a menace to human health and an
imal welfare and carries disease and
death in its wake, laden as it often is
with Germs of typhoid, cholera, diar
rhoea, disentery, and tuberculosis. It
breeds and feeds on garbage and filth
and multiplying with unimaginable
rapidity Its power for harm is incal
culable The best plan to get rid or
the pests is to remove and destroy ev
ery teing that the fly can breed in.
Clean up your premises and keep them
clean, and you won't have to exert
yourself with a swatter, which is too
slow a process of extermination.
Help the State Board of Health and
the Tuberculosis Commission destroy
one of the chief spreaders or disease
germs, which exact their toll in hu
man life, by keeping your premises ab
solutely clean.
