Now is the time to look over your canning equipment and make preparations for the busy season of food preser vation which is ahead. Consider the following points as time-savers and safety measures: 1 . Use only clean, sound, fresh foods in prime condition. Lose no time between picking and process ing. 2 After picking, place foods immediatetly into cold water to prevent steaming or flat sour be fore packing. 3. Make sure that containers in 'which food is processed are clean and free from defects. Prepare all jars. tops, rings, and rubbers before starting on food 5. The water bath method is not entirely safe except for acid vege tables and fruits. For this method be sure that the water in the can ner comes at least one inch over the top of the jars Keep boiling water ready to refill in case it gets below this.’ 6 Process non-acid vegetables «nd meats in a pressure cooker for complete safety 7. Prepare only as much at one time as can be processed at once Food ready for canning that must wait may develop flat sour, whi-'h Is the term used for the condition of canned vegetables in which taste and odor are bad. though ap pearance may be good. 8 For complete sfety all home canned vegetables and meats should be boiled rapidly 20 minutes be- lore serving. 9. The best temperature for stor ing canned goods is 45 to 60 de grees fahrenheit. 10. The white sediment in the bottom of some jars after they have stood awhile may be due to care less washing, to old products, or to hard water containing lime com pounds. A new Home Food Preservation bulletin will soon be ready for dis tribution. This bulletin may be ob tained by leaving your request at the office of the home demonstra tion agent in the court house, ac cording to Kathleen McCrae. Sturgis Talks On "Fifth Column" The “fifth column." dread under cover warfare which has recently- been introduced to the conscious ness of the American public, was the topic of a talk delivered be fore Hillsboro Lions members Wed nesday noon by Francis Sturgis, chairman of the Lions' citizenship and patriotism committee. Facts concerning any such treachery here should be reported to the proper authorities. Sturgis said, but would-be informers should not become overzealous and cause strife with mere suspicions. Congress is now considering legislation for the control of “fifth column" activities in the nation.' the speaker declared. our PIMPLY SKIN Here's an Honest Offer Satisfaction or Money Back If YOVR .kin h»» broken out with ugly .uriace pimples ra.hes —caused by local Irritation», or it you suffer from an ex- ternally caused Itching, burning »kin soreness, go to your druggist and g small bottle of Minute'» Emerald Oil ind uae a» directed.

All of olir or is J it Amish farmers and produce. Women are In typical somber garb. Du” bowl migrants in Cali- U fornia gained fame in story and motion picture, but it is the Amish of southeastern Pennsyl vania who are the original trav eling farmers. In their continued struggle to live a plain life, close to the soil «nd to God, the Amishmen have frequently packed their belong ings into rickety carts and junk eted to rural regions where they could live unmolested. Carrying out their proud tradition that hard work is the best, they have become known as master farm ers as well as members of a quaint religious sect. Forebears of the traveling Amish were those Mennonites of the 17th century who fled Eu rope because of religious perse cution. They first settled on lands near the present site of Germantown. Pa., and later spread to Ohio, Indiana, the middle west, Mexico and Can- ada. SOMETIMES it has been poor land that brought on Amish migration; at others, it was be cause the land was too rich. More often they moved because of government interference with their methods of schooling and religious beliefs. About 15,000 Mennonites mi grated from Canada and the U. S. to Mexico early in the 1920s, cultivated land that no one had been able to cultivate before, es tablished their own schools, homes and towns. Heavy taxes, bandit raids and conflict with the government there recently brought another migration of these pence loving people back to Canada and this country Anushmen who found a grow ing shortage of good land in the midwest left in 1938 to farm again in Pennsylvania, the home of their ancestors. Others in Kansas abandoned their farms when oil was found there and they were threatened with easy wealth. Their creed does not permit them to take somethin» for nothing. ■VOW the Amish are tilling new soil in Maryland, where a few families migrated this spring. Thev'll buck the prob lems of sandy soil and strange neighbors there, all over the matter of schooling for their children. Ever since the PWA built a school in their consolidated Pennsylvania township, the Am- ish have protested. They asked their children be allowed to con tinue attending their own one- room schools. In Maryland, they say, the governor will let them have their own schools. Amish theory of education is that the boy should be schooled until he is tit to work, for if he spends too long in school, he will get too late a start in the business of being a farmer. War. elections, third terms, new bombers and world’s fairs mean nothing in the lives of these bearded, quaintly garbed followers of Menno Simons. Hol lander who founded their faith in 1530. Their business is farm ing. and they mind it well. Fiction? Not at All! Ask Your Neighbor Drunken Drivers "I want to thank the Argus for the fine results from my ad.

It is being used against the advocates of armament by those who honestly disagree as to the necessity There are a few of these But it is also being used by those who. for reasons of their own. do not want America to be prepared. If we move the word around, wherever we find it. we occasional ly will uncover a foreign agent hid ing there. That is natural, of course. Amer ica finds allied control of the At- Icntic suddenly threatened, and its own defenses insufficient.
