thinking about the time which has
been half a century ago when attend

telling of the storm which came to
their vicinity last week, which was
so severe that a neighbor lost fifty
head of tattle, the water being so
that they could not be driven out of
the corrall. Another neighbor named
Snyder, was so located that the wa
ter surrounded the home and a raft
had to be constructed of railroad

the last meeting of the club year the
ladies had as a special delicious cake
and ice cream that was greatly en
jcyed. The mesttng was calld to order by
the president, Mrs. Boedeker. Salute
to the flag was given, noli call was
answered by each telling of a vaca
tion she had taken or would like to
take. There were four new members
joined for the coming year. It was
voted to have the one o'clock lunch
eon again next year, as it gives us
Uiore time for our lessons during the
afternoon.
Mrs. Guy "Wiles had charge of the
lesson. Mesdames II. G. Todd and
Margaret Brendel gave very inter
esting papers on Xebraska the Beau
tiful and our national parks. Mrs.
Gilmore and Mrs. Brendel gave talks
on the Woman's club of Lincoln, of
which they had been members dur
ing the past year.
Our next meeting will be with
these two ladies at the Morrill Hall
in Lincoln, Sept. 20th, with a picnic
dinner in one of the parks. Club

THIRD ANNUAL SUNSET SERVICE
The third annual "Sunset" service
will be held in the Waubonsie State
Park, Sunday evening, July 15, be
ginning at 7:15. If weather condi
tions are too unfavorable for such
an outdoor service it will be held
a week later. It is estimated that
1500 people attended the first service
and that last year th crowd num
bered 2500. It is expected that the
attendanec this year w ill exceed 3000
and may reach 5000. The interest
in this service has been grow ing and
more churches plan to co-operate.
An unusual program is being of
fered. There will be two outstand
ing musical features. The Tabor
Band numbering more than fifty and
the Men's Chorus of Villisca number
ing twenty. Herbert E. Hershey of
Xebraska City has been selected as
the poet for this year. Rev. Harry
M. Markley, D. D. of the Presbyter
ian church of Xebraska City will give
the "Sunset" message.
The hilltop on which the service
wil be held is nearly 400 feet above
the Missouri river. It gives a com
manding view of the valley through
which flows the "Muddy Waters."
The sloping hillside facing the west
provides a most wonderful natural
ampitheatre. The red man probably
used these heights for hi3 lookouts
or for his watch fires. Beneath its
sod he buried his dead.
(Xo doubt many from your com
munity have attended one of these
services. They will anxiously look
for this notice. This service can be
made a distinct annual event not only
for southwestern Iowa but also for
the middle west. It is not far from
Waubonsie Park to Xebraska, Mis
souri, Kansas.)

NEWSPRINT IN SOUTH
Savannah, Ga. The newsprint
committee of the Southern Xewsprint
Publishers' association announced it
had taken active steps looking to
ward the erection of a mill to manu
facture newsprint from southern pine
trees. After a day of inspection of
the experimental plant here where
Dr. Charles H. Herty developed the
process of making paper from pine
logs, the committee decided to em
ploy internationally known paper en

Winter Supply
of Meat Can Be
Canned Easily
Residents of Farm Areas Stricken,
with Drought Urged to Make
Use of Canning Meat.
Farmers in drought stricken reg
ions can save food for themselves
for winter even when the failure of
pastures and forage crops makes it
necessary to sacrifice cattle, hogs and
sheep because there is not feed
enough to maintain the animals. Can
a supply of meat, says the Bureau
of Home Economics. Can it even in
hot weather and without chilling it
for a day to remove the animal heat.
This is not the most desirable way
to handle meat, the Bureau concedes,
but it is a possible method in emer
gency, and the summer canning of
meat from freshly slaughtered an
imals is safe if done according to di
rections worked out by meat special
ists and canning specialists of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
Saving next winter's meat is an
emergency problem in both the pri
mary and secondary drought areas.
Farm housewives can put up in cans
meat which would otherwise sell for
only a fraction of the value it would
return next winter.
Meat may be canned successfully
and safely in hot weather, provided
the work is done quickly and right
methods are used. Meat slaughtered
in warm weather must be promptly
and thoroughly sterilized;. Where
there are refrigeration facilities, it
is desirable that the meat be chilled
for 24 hours or longer after slaugh
tering. Meat which has been chilled
can be cut up and handled more eas
ily than meat that stil retains the
onimal heat. However, for canning
it is not absolutely essential to chill
the meat. When refrigeration is not
available the slaughtering must be
planned so that canning may be done
quickly. In that case not more than
4 hours should elapse between
slaughtering the animal and cooking
and processing the meat.
Meats must be canned in a steam
pressure canner. This is because the
temperatures required for steriliza
tion (240 to 250 F.) cannot be ob
tained inside the jars or cans with
any other canning equipment. Heat
ing the meat to kill bacteria, or
"processing," is the most important
step in canning. Meatt which is in
held at low temperatures as in
northern climates during fall and
winter but even then the chances
of spoilage are great. Even when
there are no visible signs of spoilage
certain bacteria which cause food
poisoning may be present in meat
which has not been tiioroughly pro
cessed under pressure.
Those who do not own a steam
pressure canner may be able to share
one with neighbors, or may can meat
at a properly equipped community
center. Relief agencies in the drought
areas are trying to increase the num
ber of local canning centers as fast
as proper equipment and competent
supervisors can be obtained. In many
acres farmers are taing the animals
that they are no longer able to feed
to local packing plants, making ar
rangements for canning on a share
basis.
If well supervised and equipped,
canning centers are of great value
in communities where everybody
needs to mae provision for the com
ing winter. The set-up may vary.
There may be a neighborhood co
operative plan whereby families pool
their individual equipment and work
together. Or the county may own
portable canning equipment which is
moved on schedule. Or the commun
ity or relief agency may equip an ex
isting building, such as an idle
creamery, a-' school laboratory, or a
farmers' market, as a temporary can
nery. The Bureau of Home Economics
has prepared detailed directions for
meat canning with especial atten
tion to emergency canning of meat
without chilling. It has also mimeo
graphed material on the management
and equipment of community can
ning centers. The specialists strong
ly recommend that those interested
in either home or community can
ning should send for this informa
tion before undertaing any work.
Nobody, the bureau says, should lose
through wong methods a single can
of good food that may be needed next
winter. Write to the Bureau of Home
Economics, U. S. Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.
W BIG A LUBRICATING JOB CAN
A QUART OF OIL DO?
HERE is a record of motor protection and low consump
tion that conclusively proves how big a lubricating job
a quart of oil can do. Six strictly stock cars, with one fill
five quarts only of six different, nationally advertised motor
oils were run to "destruction" at the Indianapolis Speed
way under AAA Supervision. Under exactly similar condi
tions the cars were operated until their motors failed. Here
is the result: Oil No. 4 went 1713.2 miles; Oil No. 6 went
1764.4 miles; Oil No. 5 finished 1815.9 miles; Oil No. 1 com
pleted 2266.8 miles. Oil No. 3 totalled 3318.8 miles. Oil No. 2,
New and Improved Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil, piled
up the amazing total of 4729 miles! That was 3000 miles
farther than the first oil to go out, and 1400 miles farther
than the last oil to fail.

VISITS IN THE CITY
Atlanta Mobilization or tlie Ku

of those who are intrested in pre

was anounced by Dr. Hiram W.
Evans, imperial wizard. In a state
ment in which he said the nation "is
in great danger," Dr. Evans an
nounced the appointment of M. L).
Dunning, former colector of customs
for Georgia and prominent in civic
and commercial organizations, as
chief of staff, and said other leaders
in the Klan would be "rapidly re
called to colors." He said:
"Public spirited people. Klansmen
and non-members alike, realize that
this cation is in great danger. Be
cause of its record of heroic achieve
ment, the Klan has been called upon
by them to mobilize and co?ordinate
those who are interested in preserv
ing the constitutional government
set up by our forfathers. Answering
this request for vital service, and
from among those who beyond ques
tion have organization ability, char
acter and national reputation for
public service, I have chosen as the
one pre-eminently capable of doing
the job, Klansman M. O. Dunning.
I have appointed him chief of staff in
charge of propagation. The Klan has
delivered in every crisis since the
Civil war and can be counted on now.
"Klansman in action, competent
and courageous, will lead the Amer
ican people to see that individual li
berty and constitutional government
shall not perish and that this nation
be no longer the victim of alien pro
paganda. The Klan, a living vital
movement in itself, is not a party to
any other movement whatsoever.
There is not a laison between the
Klan and fascism, naziism, commun
ism or shirtism, for all such are ah
horent to personal freedom and dan
gerous to national liberty. Mr. Dun- J
ning, first of our great leaders to be
recalled to the colors, will be rapidly
followed by such others as are need

Ward Purton's shooting gallery. Pick
ing up the target revolver he looked
it over with a critical eye and then
plunked a quarter on the counter for
ten shots. The attendant turned on
the mechanical rabbits, and the idlers
gravitated over to watch the shoot
