IF WE FAIL THE WORLD IS LOST American Soldiers Can Crush the Hun Only If Equipped by American Dollars. DUTY OF ALL IS CLEAR War More Than Armlet—'To Provide Food, Clothing, Weapons and Hun drtda of Other Things Is Oppor tunity of Thoae Who Do Not Offer Lives—Buy Bonds! America is the Atlas on which the world la resting. Not only must Amer ican soldiers fight and win the war far democracy, but American dollars must equip and maintain American armies and, in addition, they must nmlrtn1^ the armies of the Allies. Never has so colossal a task fallen to the lot of any nation never before In the history of the world has any nation been in a position to accom plish such a task. America can do all that she is expected to do, but •he can only do it if every citizen of this greatest republic does his full •hare. The war in Europe is mors than the splendid army of young American manhood fighting under our banners In Flanders it is a matter of food, shelter, clothing, munitions, weapons, roads, engines, cars, ships, hospitals, medicines, of hundreds of other Im portant things that take labor and money to produce. To provide these jhinya u the opportunity and duty of those who do not otter their lives. Winning this war is a matter of money. When you buy a Liberty Bond it means money for the United States treasury. During the coding year, this nation must raise $24,000, 000,000. About $16,000,000,000 of fhis must be raised by loans and $8,000, 000,000 by taxation. If we do not raise this money, the United States treas ury will have failed. When the United States treasury fails, the war Is lost. If the war is lost, democracy is lost—the world is lost. Thus we get some idea of what each Individual must do. He must save, do without luxuries, he must get along with what he has rather than buy things that are not absolutely nec essary. He must do those things only which are of productive value. He must simplify and cheapen his diet. In short, he must in every possible way use for his own comfort as little of the nation's labor, time, and effi ciency as possible. He must save every cent of money possible and loan it to the Government. In this way only can a citizen live up to his patri otic duty and do his part towards win ning and ending the war.

OWTO PEAS Green peas are among the most dif ficult vegetables to can at home. Ab solute cleanliness, quick work, atten tion to every detail, are essentials to success. Only young and very freshly gathered peas should be canned. Peas are best gathered in the early morning when cool. Work rapidly from the mo ment they are gathered. Pens should not stand after being shelled. Get them intb the previously boiled Jars as rapidly as possible. Shell and sort, putting only peas of the same size and degree of ripeness together. Do not use hard, mature peas among tender ones or big peas with very small ones. Blanching (dipping into hot water) Is very important. If well done, It pre vents cloudy liquor, makes the peas tender, and also removes some of the gluey substance which coats them. Blanch by dipping the shelled peas In a clean cheesecloth sack, into boiling water one to four minutes, depending on the age of the peas. Put instantly, while hot, into cold water, (one tea spoonful salt to one quart water) and remove after about 30 seconds. Drain and pnek to within one-half Inch of the top of the previously boiled Jar. If the Jar is filled too full, a few peas at the top may burst and make the liquor cloudy. Add seasoning (one-third level teaspoonful salt and two-thirds level teaspoonful sugar to the quart) and fill with hot water and paddle well to remove all air bubbles. Partially seal Jars. Processing with steam under pres sure is recommended. Process pints 45 minutes under pressure of 10 pounds. Seal immediately, cool in a draft-free place. When cold test for leaks, and store in a cool, dark, dry place. If the Intermittent boiling process is used, boil for 90 minutes on the first day, and 60 minutes on the second and third days. Before each subsequent boiling the covers must be loosened, and after each boiling the covers must be securely tightened to make sealing complete. Cool, test for leaks and store. If a single-period boiling process is used, place Jars in the canner and boll for at least three hours. Seal, cool, test and store.—United States Depart ment of Agriculture.
