CORVALL1S, Ore., Aug. 9 "Th

"Whenever two or three womon
gather together they toll of the num

one details her grief at one or more
rat'iB opening.' The word 'luck oc
curs frequently lu the conversation
One 'nlwnyB has good luck'; anothur
has 'no luck' with certnln varieties
of fruits.
"Yet there Is no luck In successful
fruit canning. Tho 'opening' of
fruit Jnrs tbur Is, tho spoiling of
tho coiitenttf of the Jar Is caused

really wild yeast plants. These lit
tle micro-organisms nre on tho out
side of nil ripening fruits Tim
wnrmer tho weather and tho greahic

more numerous these are. When the
fruit is crushed or bruised ro that

Fruit can no more ferment wlthou'

field could produce wheat whern
Hero had been no wheat seed In tho
soil. Bo the 'luck' In making fruits
keep Is merely dependent upon kill

senllng the fruit so tightly that no
more can find entrance to It,

There Is no economy In waiting until

AN OPTIMIST
Tho politicians tell us
That unless their side wins out
The country's pretty sure to go
To smash, without a doubt.
But "Uncle Sam" looks out across
Ills Holds of wheat and rye
And corn and oats and 'tatora"
And winks tho other eye.
Tho politicians toll us,
That unless thoy shall succeed
Tho people of tho nntlon
Will Just upset, things, indeed!
But "Undo Sam" lookB out upon
Ilia- hosts of honest folks,
And doesn't tnko too seriously
The politicians' Jokes.
