Now is the time when those who have trait in their, own gardens or who buy it in large quantities will be thinking about Conserving it by making it into jam. You can make use of the fully ripen- ed fruit and put your jam into odd jars without tops Since -you will be using the inexpensive method of' eov- ering with melted wax. To prepare the fruit, just pick the fruit over, then, wash it. Weigh the sugar. To draw the juice out of the berries, cover them with the sugar and allow to stand, overnight. When heated in this sugar -juice mixture tes- ti a syrup is formed and the berries are hot through, they absorb the syr- up and tend ,to "plump up." That is what you want. Then leave your berries in the syrup to cool—to help this process. The mass can then be cooked or slowly concentrated in an oven set' at a temperature of 250 to 275 degrees. A quick method of making jam is the following: Prepare fruit, weigh, thee crush with a wooden potato WOW. -theF30, Fed Weak,Worn:-01d7) - Want. Normal Pe., Um, 11141117 ?

Answer: Cloudiness may be due to having cooked fruit too long before straining off the juice, and the light particles of the skin would be float- ing in the liquid made from the top liquid.

Harvesting Western Crops Cutting of the 1942 wheat crop be- gan in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta last week, says the Canadian Pacific Railway weekly 'crop report. In Manitoba, wheat cutting started at Gretna and will probably be gen- eral over the province between the 15th and 20th of August. In Sas- katchewan the first point to report cutting was North Portal on the southern boundary, and it will likely be general by the end of the month. Alber4a, reports first cutting at Seven Persons on the Taber subdivision with the prospect for general harvest- ing- extended three weeks or more. Hot dry weather has slightly re- duced the-predict:ed large yield in the Peace River territory in some loca- tions though no seri ioe_se,elemage has occurred. Cutting of coarse grains has begun. - C.N.R. Report 'The first car of new barley was loaded on the Letellier sub -division and. by next week threshing of coarse grains and rye, will be gen- eral- in southern districts. Leaf rust • is apparent on Thatcher wheat in many localities but damage w!ll be E light. Stem rust of -flax is fairly widespread and it is expected that yields. will be reduced somewhat, states the C.N.R. crop' repart. , In Manitoba wheat and early grains are ripening fast. Some 'fields .are ready 'for 'Cutting but continued raihs prevent farmers getting en the land. Wheat cutting will not be general for a week or 10 days. Yields will be heavy and samples good. In Saskatchewan rains have been, ample to assure complete filling of heads. Moisture is generally suffi- cient ,to carry crops to maturity. Local hail damage is reported but prospects for an excellent out -turn more than offset any° such damage. Warm' weather is needed to mature crops. Seine districts report coarse grain fields lodged so that harvesting will be slow. Alberta reports all crops are late due to continued cool weather and heavy rains. Heavy yields are anti- cipatedofrom all districts and the I, • ,general outlook for all of western :Canada is 'satisfactory.

Grow- Agl- g00 ge&itilly,id:Olittitio to ina,4e , • . (William X. Bliss in Um the Looltdep' . Sunday, 14xPre;;8) Some time ago the Britisb goyerum went took steps to exercise new con- trols over the coal industrY, and some of the clispatehes left the im- pression that these would be a 0111/- stitute for buying out the royal hold- ers, as provided by the Coal Mt three years ago. That act was to be; come effective July 1st of this yeer, and' evidently did -become effective, The following article appeared in the London Sunday Express recently. Next month the government of Bri- tain will start paying out the. fleet of thousands of cheques totalling £66,- 450,000 that wipe out private owner- ship of coal royalties for ever. It ends an era that began in 1568, when the English courts ruled in a ease, Queen Elizabeth v. the Earl pf North- umberland, that landowners' rights extended to the centre of the earth; in other' words, that the owners were entitled to the minerals under the soil, excepting silver and gold. The buying -out date was Wednes- day; July lst, when the ownership of all coal in this country is vested in the coal commission on behalf of the state. Royalties will continue to be paid by the colliery companies, whose position is not affected by the change. but -they will be paid to the ireasury. As compensation for their loss of rights. the 4,000 royalty owners—some drawing more than £10Q,000 a year; many only anound or two—will share between them £66,450,000, equivalent to 15 years' purchase of their net an- nual royalty revenue of £4,430,000. This sum was awarded in a decision that stands as •a masterpiece of brev- ity. The owners asked for £150,000,- 000, then cut the demand to £112,- 000;000. The government, was willing to grant £75,000;000. Arbitration fol- lowed and the Greene committee find- ing- occupied six words: "Our award is fifteen years' purchase." From that there was no appeal. It is this "kitty" of X66,450,000 that is about to be shared,. out. There are' 26,000 claims on it. Each fills '23 pages -598,000 pages in all. Own- ers had to claim separately for each holding or potential holding. • A hundred and =twenty-one men, constituting local Valuation Boards in the ten coalfields, ere- working out this gigantic division sum. They have been at, it almost three years, and it will be 12 months before they finish. Before they started work, the sitxy- six millions had already been divid- ed up by the Central Valuation Board among the ten coal fields, the amounts ranging from E16,446,375 for South Wales to £1,196,100 for 'the south of England. In each of the 10 areas the aggre- gate of claims- far exceeds the amount of money available. This in part i,s due to the fact that owners were al- lowed to claim both for coal actually being worked and coal that will be worked in the future. The two are ,not treated equally.. For example, Mr. X and Mr. Y may have rights over equal amounts of coal in the same colliery lease. AIL X's coal is being worked now. -Mr. Y's will not be reached for 12 years. Mr. Y will get very little compensa- tion.. Coal known to exist in great quan- ties but not likely to be 'reached for, saf, 30 years, will probably not be paid • for at all. Seams nearing ex - good progress under favorable wea- ther conditions. Pastures are in good condition except in eastern areas, where more rain is needed. Shortage of labor is cauping concern in many localities. In the Maritime provinces, with favorable weather conditions, crops have made satisfactory progress dur- ing the past week. In British Colum- bia recent warm weather hoe, proved beneficial to all field and orchard crops,' w,hich, as a whole, are in -sat- isfactory condition, with good yields! in prospect. baustion will also yield light eompen- eation. Equally, no colfields that may be discovered henceforth will ever pay a penny of royalty to priv- ate owners. The ex -Archbishop of Canterbury stated that •the Ecclesiastical Com- missioners, the biggest royalty own- ers of all, would lose one-third of their annual £370,000 revenue from coal. Among the principal royalty own- ers are: Duke of Hamilton £113,000 Lord Bute 109,000 Lord Tredegar 74,002 Duke of 'Northumberland69,00r Lord Denraveri 58,000 'Lord Durham 35,000' Lord Ellesmere 26,-000 They will suffer a big reduction though with income tax sat 19s. 6d. in the pound it may make little im- mediate difference to their pockets, / At -a conservative estimate, based on geological survey, there is still 500 years' supply of accessible fuel in the coalfields — say 125,000,000,000 tons. I - From Great Minds Courage The heroic 'example of other days is in great part the source of the courage of each generation, and men walk up composedly- to the most perilous enterprises, beckoned on- wards by the shades of the brave that were.—Helps. Time Time has laid his -band won my heart gently, not smiling it; but as a harpist lays his open palm upon ,his harp, to deaden its vibrations. ---Long- fellow. Happiness To give happiness and to do good, there is our only law, our anchor of salvation, our beacon light, our lay for existing. Our religion may crum- ble away; so long as this survives we have still an ideal, and life is worth living.—Henri-Frederic Amiel. Time Time is too slow for those Too swift for those who fear, Too long for those who grieve, Too short for those who rejoice, But for those who love— Time is not. who wait, —Henry Van Dyke A. Single Word A single word is a:little thing, But a soul may be 'dying before your eyes For lack of the comfort a word may bring, With its welcome help and its sweet eurprise. —C. P. Richardson Lesson It should be the lesson of our life to grow -into a holy independence Of every judgment whieh has not the, sanction of conscience and of , God. No man can lift up his head with man- ly calmness and peace who .18 the slave of other men's judgments.—J. W. Alexander. Alms It Was Julia Ward Howe who once said, w,hen asked for a defintion of what the ideal aims of life were: "To learn, to teach, to serve, to enjoy." A life -which misses any of these is incomplete; but as any' life can have em all, 4 -the incompleteness is e, matter of choice, not of fate. Religion The central thought of religioxi is of a peace that is beyond the unrest of life, of a harmony that transcends, all its discords, of a unity of purpose which works 'through all the conflict of the forces of nature, and the still more intense Manilla of the wills of men.—Edward Caird. Time Where's the use of sighing? Sorrow as you may, Time is always flying— Flying! and defyilig Men to say him nay. —William Henley Forgiveness There is an Ugly kind of forgive- ness in this world—a kind of hedge- hog forgiveness, shot out like quills. Men taken one who has offended, and set him down before the blowpipe of their indignation; and scorch. him, and burn liis fault 'into him, • and when they have kneaded him sufficiently with their fists, then—they forgive him. Admiration We always like those who admire us, but we do apt always like ,those whom we, admire.Rochefoucauld. Man The man who has not yet thorough- ly conquered himself is 'easily tempt- ed and overcome in little and trivial matters.—Thomas .a Kempis. Progress National progress is the sum of in-' di.vidual industry, energy and uptight- ness, as national decay is of individ- ual idleness, selfishness and vice. Lives Neither days nor lives can be made holy by doing nothing in them. The best -prayer at the beginning of a day is, that we may not lose its mom- ents; and the best grace before meat is the consciousness that we have justly earned our dinner.—Ruskin. Sunshine Have ,you ever had your day sud- denly turned sunshiny because of a cheerful word? Have you ever Vete. dered if this could be the same world because some one had been unex- pectedly kind to you? You can make today the same for everybody. It is • only a question of a little imagine-, tion, a little time and trouble. Think now "what can I do today to make somebody happy?"—Maltbie D. Bab- cock. • FLIES CAUSE INFANTILE PARALYSIS • Investigations by medical scieatists indicate that 9y -infected foods are one s of the principal causes of Infantile Paralysis (Poliomyelitis), Every Sy allowed to live is a potential menace tat human health.
