Hartson, 78, 1320 1-2 Capi tol avenue, Omaha, was presented with a 50 years' veteran Jewel of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, recently, as a reward for 50 years of continuous service as a member of that organization. & press account de scribed him as ths only man in the state who has belonged to one lodge oif the order over 50 years.

He re tained his membership here until 1869, when he transferred It to Blair, becoming a charter member of the lodge at that place. Family All Belong. Newell ie the head ef a family "nest" of Odd Fellows. His son, J. W. Newell, Jr., and son-in-law, John McKay, Blair, are wearing 25-year veteran Jewels presented them sev eral years ago. His eldest son, Os car, killed In an auto accident, was a member, and his wife, the late Mrs. Newell, and daughter, Mrs. McKay, are charter members of Welcome He bekah lodge instituted at Blair in the middle '80s. After wearing his 25-yesr Jewel for a quarter of a century, Newell was presented with a 50-year Jewel by his lodge February, 1919. Recently the sovereign grand lodge changed the numerals to "60," covering hig 62 years of membership In both Omaha and Blair lodges.

Hunt, father of Charles Hunt, Omaha painter, waa noble grand of the Omaha lodge when Newell Joined it. In 1859 he and others started for Pikes Peak. They got as far as Polk county, Nebraska, when travelers coming back reported "nothing much doing out there." So Newell and his companions settled down for several years, becoming the pioneer settlers of Polk county, and returning to Omaha in 1S61. Newell bought the lease on the eite of the Paxton hotel and started a cracker factory, tha first in Omaha. He was forced to run it day and night to supply the demand. He waa offered the lot for $800, the adjoining one having sold for $300. He was a member of the Omaha pioneer fire company, a bucket brigade. John Bross, the young man whom Newell hired in Omaha to cook his crackers in ’62, is Newell's neighbor in Blair. He is 82 years old.

Jams and Jellies Cost Less and Taste Better When Made by the New Certo Method Old Method 2qts.Fruit _50^ 2 lbs. Sugar_20 ff : Makes 3 lbs Jam/or 70^ or more than ’ 23P£. Every housewife know* that the ohl ''pound for pound" mixture of fruit nnd sugar must be boiled down to make It ''Jell." They realise too that, this long boiling evaporates a lot of ! the delicious fruit Juice. For In stance, as shown abovs, with 2 lbs. (or quarts) of fruit and 2 lbs. of sugar the result will only be S lbs. of Jam. The other pound Is lost or evaporated by long-bolllng. With the Certo method of Jam and Jelly making all this i* changed, be cause the mixture la boiled only one minute. Certo supplies the necessary fruit pectin—that natural Jelly mak ing substance found In some fruits, In varying amount* and without which no one could ever make Jatn or Jelly—now separated from fruit, refined and bottled. Boiling only one minute with Certo eliminates evaporation so that with 2 lbs. of fruit and * lbs. of sugir, you now muke 6 lbs. of Jam—over a half more than Is made by the old method with the same amount of fruit. Mors sugar Is used In the Certo method only be cause It makes so much more Jam than the old method. The amount of sugar In each glass of Jam Is the same In both methods. The extra sugar la simply used to make Jam or Jelly from the Juice and flavor that used to be boiled away. Certo'* one minute boiling period slso prevent* the flavor snd color of your fruit from boiling away. Thai's why Certo Jams and lollies are rail ed "The World's N'ew Standard of Quality." Besides, with Certo hours of your tlms over a hot stove are eliminated and you never have a failure. And Certo Is a pure fruit product—no gelatine or preservative In It. ■Just try one batch of fruit with Certo end you'll never return to the old method of Jam and Jelly making with all It* hard work, worry and extra expense. Get some pluina and a bottle of Certo with recipe book from your grocer and make some plum Jam. No home ever has too much of JMiw Method 2qts.Fruit_50^ 3 lbs. Surfer.30rf Vi bottle Certo lof? Makes 51bs Jarn^r 98^ or less than i 201a pound It. Note how simple this recipe for delicious plum Jam really Is: Slice, pit and crush well about 2t4 ll>*. plums. Measure 4 level cups (* lbs.) crushed fruit Into large kettle, add % cup water, stir until boiling, cover kettle and simmer hour. Add T'/i level cup* (3 >4 lbs.) sugar and mix well.
