exhibits. The other half of the meet

able. Can Fruits and Vegetables
Now for Winter Use.
Fruits and vegetables are a neces
sary part of a well-selected diet.
Since fruits and vegetables are grown
during only part of the year, it is
necessary to produce a surplus dur
ing the growing season and to find
some means cf conserving the food
until it is needed. Just no v.- the
thrifty homemaker will gather and
can greens to help fill her shelves
with green vegetables, and will can
the surplus rhubarb while it is young
and tender. Rhubarb makes a nice
filler when combined with ether

fruits to make spreads and conserves
if you do not care for it cooked alone.
Beans and peas will soon be avail
able and some horaemakcrs may be
fortunate enough to have straw
berries. Cherries and other fruits
will soon be in season. Complete in

finished a two-day school of instruc

will start to the field Monday. They
will measure all the land planted or
to fce planted to corn according to
the 1935 contract. Each field will be
measured accurately with a 1C0 ft.
surveyor's chain. End measurements
will be taken by the average length
of the corn rows. The committee
hopes to have the job completed by
July 1st. This will be time enough
for farmers to plant some other feed
crop should they have too much corn
planted.
Seme time will be given to check

they will be permitted to raise.

Reports That Kidnapers of Weyer
haeuser Scion Were Violators
Stirs the President.
Hyde Tark, N. Y.. June 10.
Aroused by published accounts cf the
criminal records of the AVeyerhaeuser
kidnapers. President Roosevelt Mon
day disclosed he wants parole system
abuses ended without delay.
Both Harmon AA'aley, who confess
ed to participation in the Tacoma
crime with his wife, and AYilliam
I-Iahan. named in the confession, were
wanted for parole viola; ien.
The president sent this telegram
to Attorney General Cummiugs in
AYashington:
"7ewspapers report long crim
inal record in case of two men
definitely suspected of Weyer
haeuser kidnaping including not
only arrests and convictions but
also paroles.
"Every decent citizen is in
terested in humane parole sys
tems which seek rehabilitation
of offenders but at same time we
should seek to prevent abuses of
parole especially in cases cf
habitual criminals; therefore I
am glad that you are having a
special study made of these two
cases investigating tall facts re
lating to their previous records .
in every jurisdiction where they
have been apprehended or pa
roled." AA'hen President r.oo:sevelt returns
to AYashington he will talk with
Cummings and if tn? lacts warrant,
a thorough check-up on the whole
parole system will be made.
The president has been following
the AA'cyerhaeuser kidnaping case
since the beginning and has evi
denced keen satisfaction in the quick
work of the G-men.
SZS LEAKING TOWARD WAS
London. Labor party leaders, ac
cepting Stanley Baldwin's recon
struction of the cabinet as the formal
cpening of the general election cam
paign, began a vehement attack on
policies of the national government.
A. V. Alexander, first lord of the ad
miralty in the last labor govern
ment, in a search at Cardiff charged
Baldwin's rearmani'-nt campaign is
"likely to lead not only to war, but
to such an exhaustion of the taxable
reserves of the people as must cul
minate in repudiation of the internal
debt."
The government was accused by
Sir Stafford Cripps, former solicitor
general, of using "jubilee ballyhoo
and the false cry of patriotism" as
traps for votes in lunching the elec
tion drive.
Ccorge Lansbury, labor leader in
the house of commons, asserted:
"AA'ith the fake covering of nation
alism torn from the government by
Baldwin's reshuffle of the cabinet,
we sec the great labor movement
arising with its might to meet the
election challenge of toryism and
all its do-nothing policies."
EULLDIKG TRADE JOBS GAIN
AA'ashington'. Reporting that "a
great many" federal housing admin
istration committees said "there is
no longer any idleness whatever in
certain building trades in their ter
ritories," Stewart McDonald, acting
administrator, announced that last
week set a record for insurance ap
plications. The total was $10,272,933, double
the amount of applications the first
week in April, he said. Applications
included ?7, OSS. 000 for insurance of
mortgage loans, with 34 percent new
construction; and $3, 187, 933 for
