You are really too kind, Mr. Mosely, I don't deserve such solicitude from a stranger." He laughed, ruefully. "All right, Miss Eliot. I give up. Make your own friends and find out later that 3 am right." "You can say 'I told you so' when you find me weeping," she suggested. "Now if you're• quite through, Mr. Mosely, I mustn't keep you any longer," 'But I'm not through. I pre- sume you are here to realize on the property left by your uncle. The 'Sentinel' is a white elephant on your hands, bub in view of the eireunstances I am prepared to buy it from you." "What circumstances?" she asked, her eyes watching him. "Naturally you don't know any- thing about country newspapers. A young lady like you has never been soiled by contact with busi- ness of any kind. The only way to make even a living out of a paper like the 'Sentinel' is for the owner to edit and run it himself. You couldn't hire anybody else to do it without losing money. There is nothing left for you to do but sell it." "Except run it myself," she said quietly. He smiled broadly at her jest. '1 hadn't thought of that." in his masterful way, he pushed straight on. "I'11 not drive a hard bargain with so charming a young lady, You may depend on me to pay a little better than a fair price. The Powder Horn country needs a good paper. I am wi ling to supply that need." "I think I won't sell it at least not yet." "Why not?" he wanted to know.: His frosty eyes challenged her decision. "You Can't Do It!" "I've told you. I'm going to run the paper." "That's nonsense," lie said curt- ly, annoyed by her atinacy. "You can't do it." She resented his arrogant as- surance. "Can't I?" she replied, her voice carefully indifferent. "Of course you can't. In the first place you don't know how. Already you have become entang led with some rues no better than outlaws — wild unscrupulous fel- lows. In the second place, a young lady can't mess around with printer's ink and get into the squalid political brawls that every editor must face. Her place is in the home, where she is shielded and protected by the love of a good man from the evils of the world-" There was a poised steeliness in her bearing. "After I'm all. splashed with ink and mud you can remember that you warned me, Mr. Mosely." He was stili trying to conceal his anger. Ilis smile was meant to be indulgent to her folly. "I am older than you, Miss Eliot, and more experienced. 13e- lieve me, I am speaking for your own good. Young ladies do not edit newspapers. To try to do so would be to soil yourself. You are too young to start life by making a bad mistake." He con- cluded bluntly, sharply, "I'll give you twice what the 'Sentinel' is worth. Pll buy up the rest of your uncle's holdings at a fair valuation." "No, thank you," she said with- out the least hesitation. "i don't want twice what the paper is worth. If you want to buy it the price will be a dollar a year." Ile was still not ready to give in. '"Chis isn't a joking matter, Miss Eliot," he said, his grave manner rebuking her levity. "You don't know what you are under- taking. It is a proud tradition of our country that young ladies do their part by preparing to make happy hones for their future hus- bands. What you propose is not proper for a young lady."

Nowadays, when every family owns a car and beaches and wor aro so handy to the towns, the old fashioned children's picnic ought to cone back in better, form than ever, writes Angelo Petri, child psychologist. It would do the moth- ers good to get a day off and spend. it with the children lo the open air. Eating in tate open, picnic fish• ion, the good home -cooked food would be a rare treat. Hot dogs at home are ordinary compared to the good smelling messes smothers take out of the big thermos. jars. There is always an ice cream man about to supply the most essential dish of all. Home fun, home.cooked food, neighborly sharing of good times seems to be slipping into the past. Now Is a good time to bring them back for the refreshment of body and spirit.

It is now recognized as more than an annoy- ance, however, for every fly that gets into the house is a health tazard and should be instantly at- taolced and killed.

TABLE TALKS By SADIE 13. 'CHAMBERS Fill All The Jars! I read the other day that a slogan of the last war was: "Eat what you can and what you can't eat, can,' Onee again we are at war and I believe' that for this Canada of ours, with oar surplus of food and our richness in fruits and vegetables, one of the slogans should be; "Let us fill all the Jars," Firstly, consider your own family tied make every preserve, jelly and jam that they like. Then from the surplus, let us prepare for the many, ;many corners of the earth to which we tnay be ask- ed to send food. So here's ,to the "United Home Front!" First I am going to give you a few general suggestions, which. seem this time of year•to be a daily topic. , Fur your very best restats tlo not use fruit unless it is sound, ripe, of a.good.coloi• sold scrape, tioD not he overly interested: in the barg'ale counter when it comes to fruit. and vegetables. It just does not pay. In choosing your., Jet's, pick those which will best serve your family as to size, 'so' that there may be no leftovers to spoil. Test all jars before using. Ad- just rubber rings, fill with water and invert to test for leaks. Die. card any jar which cannot be made air -tight. This is always economy. Always use fresh rubber rings. Always sterilize jars thoroughly, and if possible, give them a sun - drying and 1 guarantee there will be no spoiled fruit. Have you had trouble with cer- Lain fruits darkening in the pre- paration—say peaches, pears and apples? If using cold puck methods, as soon as your jar has been filled with fruit, pour on the boiling syrup. i using the other methods peel at a time only the fruit whieh • your kettle will ac- commodate, so that the fruit will not have to sit waiting for the cooking. - Light Syrup Use 1 cup augur to z cups water or half and half of sugar and corn syrup to the same proportion of water. This Is especially good for peaches and pears. Medium Syrup Use 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water or had and half of corn syrup and sugar to the same proportion of water. It you wish you may use the "no sugar" method and use 1 cup corn syrup to 1 cup water. Heavy Syrup This type is suitable for the very tart fruit such as cherries, berries of all lcinds or the plums. Some prefer this type for peaches too. 2 cups sugar to 1 cup water or half and half again of sugar and syrup to 1 ,up water. N.B.— Always when mixing sugar syrup and water place over a' lot- beat at first until all 'id dissolved, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Open Kettle Canning Simmer only enough fruit at a time, that may be completely cov- ered with syrup. Sterilize jars and covers and fill with hot fruit and syrup while jars are still very hot and sterile. Always fill ,lure to overflowing with the hot fruit and syrup, while jars are still very hot, If using a knife to insert in jar to remove bubbles, be sure it is sterile. Dip the new rubber rings in boiling water before adjusting on jar. Invert jars in cpoling to test for leakage. Cold-Pac)t Canninng Pack the raw fruit closely in hot sterile jars. Have syrup boil- ing before adding it. hill jars just two-thirds from top, to allow for expansion. Slip sterile lcnife around for the escape of air -bubbles. Place on rubber rings, dipping in boiling water and sterilized lids. Tighten; seal, then loosen tops one-half turn. In using hot water bath, place jars in water near,their own tem- perature. Be sure to give water time to boll after jars are placed in bath. When jars are placed on rack, do not allow them to touch each other and be sure they are cover- ed with water the entire boiling period. Hot Pack Method Observe the same rules as for cold pack only pro -cook fruit be, fore putting into jars. Steam Pressure Canning Folio -v the directions given by the manufacturer. This really is the best method to insure perfect canning especially of meats and vegetables.

GET StiiME T'I,1)AY! measure. If not currant season, add lemon juice—it gives real character, in canning peaches, crack a few peach stones with a hammer and add them to your jars—one or two to each jar. You will be sur- prised at the added flavor. Who does not know the trick of adding cloves or cinnamon sticks to pears? I like this treatment for plums as well. Spiced Fruits Syrup: 1 quart diluted vinegar (very mild) 4 lbs. brown sugar, 2 ounces whole cloves, 2 ounces stick cinnamon, piece of root gin- ger, • To the ginger add the sugar, stir over heat until sugar dis- solves. Bring to boli and then add spices in cheesecloth bag. Simmer fruit until tender, then transfer to jars When all fruit has been cooked, bring syrup to hard boil and fill jars to overflow- ing.. Seal or cover closely for stor- ing. This amount of syrup will take care of 8 lbs, of fruit. Miss Ciwmbers *triremes personal lettere trots Interested readers.

Lawn Health Depends On ]Regular Trimming Householders. who pass vacations away from home should arrange to have the lawn cut regularly In their absence to preserve the thieknesa of the turf. If permitted to grow without restraint, the base of the planta will become hard, and if seed is al- lowed to develop, much of the strength of the planta will be lost. When the tall growth Is cut back a coarse stubble will he lett.
