The Kansas City Star of the 18th inst.

contained this dispatch: "Mulvane, June 17. Mulvane can't send as many men to war as some other towns, but she can supply milk for The Saturday record at the local condensary was 80,641 pounds of milk, breaking the day record. The farmers who delivered the milk were paid $1,733.78. So far in June, themilk record, has all records. The milk pay roll will reach $50,000.

If the farmers in the vicinity of Mulvane can sell, daily, $1,733.78 worth cf milk, without the pasture privileges we have without blue grass, timothy and clover, which we grow in abundance what will the farmers in the vicinity of our new condensary do Preparations should be pushed at once. Each and every farmer within twelve miles of Garnett should prepare to sel: all the milk they possibly can during the coming winter. The condensary will be ready for business in about thirty days, and will pay fifty-five cents per pound for "butter-fat in your whole milk. A cow that will give three and a half gallons of ZVz per cent milk will earn you over $17 per month.

A cow giving three and a half gallons of milk is a very ordinary cow. Think what you can do "with ten ordinary cows. Two thousand cows should supply milk the coming winter to our condensary. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS. THE GATE IS OPEN.

CHAMPE, Editor a T. RICHARDSON, Manager MUST USE DIMMERS. A New- State Law Regulates Lighting of Cars. the The attention of owners of automo biles is called to a state law enacted by the last legislature regulating the lighting of cars. Shaded or dimmed lights are re quired, and motorists ar.e forbidden from throwing spot-lights, such as are attached to the windshields of many cars, upon approaching cars.

Many accidents have been caused when drivers were blinded by the bright rays from high-powered elec tric lights" coming from the other direction, and it is to eliminate this danger that the legislature incorporated a clause in the law which reads as follows: "Every automobile using any pub lie highway of this state shall show, between one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise, two lamps exhibiting white lights, visible at a distance of 300 feet in the direction toward which the automobile is proceeding, and shall also exhibit a red light, visible at the rear end. The lamps shall be so placed as to be free from obstruction to light from other parts of said automobile. No driver of any automobile or motor vehicle, while operating the same upon a pub- Ec highway in this state, shall use any acetylene, electric or other headlight unless properly shaded or supplied with dispersiv.e lenses or glasses or with a mechanism or apparatus for turning down such illuminating lights in such a way as not to blind or dazzle other users of the highway, or make it difficult or unsafe for such other users to ride, drive or walk thereon. It is hereby made unlawful for the driver of any automobile or other motor vehicle to direct the rays of a light known as a spot-light upon an approaching vehicle upon any public highway in this state." AND STILL THEY COME. And now, Japan is sending a mission to the United States, with broad diplomatic powers.

Ireland will also send a delegation to this country. Circle Three. Circle No. 3 of the M. E.

CARNTHT, KANSAS, Grace Dietz, in Mail and Breeze. Our winter garden, as my father delights in calling it when he shows friends over our farm, has been the best means of keeping down living expenses we ever have found. It grows down in cellar and the garden beds are glass jars. We planted it with a steam-pressure canner, and the jars are filled as soon as they are emptied, so our supply never runs out. No, so-called "preservatives" or canning powders are used.

The secret of our success is cleanliness and sufficient heat to destroy all bacteria, molds and spors which may be in the vegetables, and air-tight sealing to prevent the entrance of others. Canning powders or preservatives have such a harmful effect that the United States government has thought it necessary to send out many specific warnings against their use. 'v Vegetables should be gathered the same day they are to be canned. Do not attempt-to put up anything that has stood over night. A condition known as "flat sour" sometimes arises wrhen vegetables have not been canned as soon as gathered.

In this, the vegetables look perfectly good, but when the can is opened, the contents are found to be soured. Blanching is a necessary and important step in canning "vegetables. This is done by placing the vegetable, which has been cleaned and diced or hulled read for cooking, in a cheesecloth sack or a wire basket with fine mesh.es, and plunging it into boiling water for a period of from 5 to 15 minutes. Then lift the vegetables and plunge them into a pail very cold water in order to cool them quickly. Blanching eliminates objectionable acids, washes off considerable bacteria, sets the coloring matter and shrinks the vegetable so that it is in good condition for packing into jars.

Keep the Clock Handy. A few essentials for successful canning are a reliable clock, to be consulted in counting the time of processing or sterilizing (cooking "in the pressure cooker) plenty of clear; pure water, both hot and cold; pure salt of a good grade; good rubbers inferior grades are dear at any price- and plenty of granite pans and pails and sharp paring knives. I prefer glass jars, as they can be used often-er than tin cans. Jars with wide mouths are the easiest to pack. Old lids may be used, but they should be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized.

to not use lids that have had a knife run under the edge in opening the jars. To keep the jars from breaking when boiling water or syrup is poured over the contents, temper the Jars before filling them by placing them on a folded cloth in a dish-pan of cold water and letting them come to the boiling point. Put the vegetables into them while the jars are still a little warm, then use a funnel for pouring in the syrup. Place 'the jars in the canner immediately after they are filled. Place the jars on a wooden rack in the canner, and do not let them touch the side or one another.

Jar caps must not be screwed on tightly before the cooking. In order to get the lids of uniform tightness before placing the jars in the Mother-Daughter Club Notes. Monday afternoon, the state assistant, club leader, Miss Lottie Milan, accompanied by the county club leader, Miss Florence Sculley, and Madams Audie Knight and Pearl Whitney, of Garnett, autoed to Scipio for a meeting of the sewing and bread-making clubs of that place. The meeting was held at the hospitable home of Jake Wolken. The light bread which was started by Miss Milan at 2 o'clock p.

m. was taken through all the processes and baker that afternoon with most excellent results. Several visitors, among them Father Thomas, the local leader of the boys and girls' club work, came in to watch the bread-making. While the bread was rising, the sewing club demonstration was given. Afterwards, games were played in the yard, and delicious home-ma cookie3 v'ere served by the hostess, Miss Cecelia Wolken.

The bread-making club of Scipio is the largest one in the county, and all the members are doing splendid work. Their names are as follows: Leonilla Stoerman, president; Theckla Lickteig, vice-president; Cecelia Wolken, secretary; Clara Lickteig, Cecelia 'Roecsrers, Odelia Bowman, Blanche Kipper, Teresa Wolken, Hilda Schneider, Mary Wolken, Veronica Mersmann, Monica Miller, Clara Mader, Regina Setter, Gertrude Setter and Josephine Roeckers. The first vegetable canning demonstration in Garnett will be given Wednesday, June 27th, beginning at 1:30 in the Domestic Science room of the Irving school building. Mss Mollie M. Smith will be the cemon-strator, and will repeat the demonstration Thursady afternoon.

The vegetables to be canned this week are: peas, greens and asparagus. Next Week, it will be other vegetables. Come in and see the canning done. It is free to all. Tuesday afternoon, a very interesting canning demonstration was given at Welda to the Mother-Dauirhter liquid in the jars wiH be forced out.

Remove the retort or canner frta the stove, setting it down carefully, and let the temperature go down; then open the retort, take out the Jars and make the final seal. Do not expose the hot jars to drafts. The time of processing is counted from the moment the temperature reaches "the desired point. Some tested canning recipes follow: Asparagus. Select young and tender stalks, sort and cut or break into suitable lengths, wash, blanch 10 minutes, cool in cold water and pack into jars; add a teaspoon of salt to a pint of hot water and pour over the asparagus to fill the jars.

Put the rubbers and caps on as directed; place jars on the rack in the canner and process 45 minutes at a temperature of 240 degrees Fahrenheit for quart jars, and 30 minutes at the same temperature for pints. String Beans. String the beans and break them into suitable lengths. Blanch 10 minutes, cool in cold water and pack into jars. Add hot water and salt in the proportion of one tablespoon to a pintof water; put lids and rubbers in place, and process quart jars for 30 minutes at 240 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook quart jars as long as pints. Green Lima Beans or Peas. Hull, wash and blanch the beans 10 minutes, cool in cold water and pack into jars. 1 Fill the jars with hot water to which salt has been added in the proportion of one tablespoon of salt to one pint of hot water. I usually make 10 quarts of this solution at once.

This amount will cover 14 quarts of beans or peas. Place rubbers and caps on the jars, and for pint or quart jars, process SO minutes at 240 degrees Fahrenheit. Peas are canned in exactly the same way. It is important to remember that the time given in all the foregoing recipes is for steam pressure canners. Vegetables are prepared in the same way for canning by the wash-boiler or hot water bath method, but must be cooked longer.

The times for the hot water bath outfits follow: Asparagus pints, 2V2 hours; quarts, 3 hours; string beans or Lima beans pints, 2 hours; quarts, 22 hours. Canned Corn. I use several recipes for canning corn, but this is the one our family like best. Gather the corn tne morning it is to he canned, and husk and silk it at once, using a small brush for silking. Cut the corn off the cob into a large dishpan or an aluminum kettle, leaving the larger part of the grains on the cob, then scrape the milk out of the grains on the cob.

Set the pan on the stove and pour boiling water into it until the corn is covered with about IY2. inches of water. Add salt and sugar to taste and boil from 20 to 30 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Pack the corn into jars, put rubbers and caps in place, and process quart jars an hour at 15 pounds pressure. CCCC.

The stage in the assembly room was converted into a kitchen for the occasion. Two gas stoves were installed and connected up, and tables and kitchen utensils were put in place. All members of the club wore the club emblem, which is shaped like a four-leaf clover. The club, with Mrs. F.

V. Blanchard presiding, voted in the new members who wished to enroll, making the total membership forty-three teams or eighty-six members. The state demonstrator, Miss Lottie Milan, assisted by the county club leader, Miss Florence Sculley, did canning with both the hot-water bath and the steam-pressuie outfits. The products demonstrated were: kale, peas, beets, beet greens, asparagus and cherries. Members of the club helped prepare the products for canning while Miss Milan ably explained the how and why and wherefore of canning these and other vegetables and fruits, and also chicken and rao-bit.

The large number of questions asked showed the intense interest of the people of whom there were about ninety. Some, alter being present at the morning demonstration at Lone Elm, had come to Welda to take advantage of it again. At the close, a vote of thanks was extended to Miss Milan and Miss Sculley, who were then taken by Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong to Colony, for an evening meeting Rev.
