Cotterill, ex mayor of Seattle and now state high way commissioner tor Washington, stated that Governor Lister, upon re turning from a conference of state representatives with the national leaders, was simply overcome with a sense of the heavy task this na tion had undertaken in entering up on the war. It's time the country woke up ud took this war seriously. It la going to take years. It will require our utmost in energy and in sacri fice. The sooner we buckle down to the Job, the sooner it will be fin ished. ... The ultimate result is not a matter of fear providing the 100,000,000 people of America appreciate their task and shoulder It.

Dehydration of fruits and vege tables is going to see a rapid increase during the coming year. It is based on the well known fact that a large per cent of all vegetables Is water. The potato Is 62 per cent water, the squssh has 44 per cent; the string bean, 83 per cent; beets, 70 per 'cent; sweet corn, 75 per rent; tur nip, 62 per cent and no on. When we transport green vege tables we pay freight on this excess weight which might Just as well be sdded from the kitchen water tap. Furthermore the keeping quality of dried vegetables is vastly superior to that -of undrled.
