LIFE Life is sure a zig zag life It’s winding here and there; Sometimes bright with sunshine, But often dark with care. Sometimes the tear drops dim Our way with heart ache and deep sorrow, - And then we grasp some hope again, And look for joy tomorrow. And so we journey day by day, Through toil and weary pain; Until the years are done and gone, And we are a child again. Tastiest, most health ful drink a soldier or anyone else can have is MILK. Serve it daily. NEHALEM DAIRY PRODUCTS CO. Phone 471 And with a child’s deep trust, And faith that it will better be. We still toil on with hope and trust, That it will more joyous be. —Iva J. Wood .

Vernonia, Oregon Figures Given on Fruit, Vegetable Canning Yield With 18 million or more vic tory gardens growing, many a homemaker will have homegrown tomatoes, berries, and other gar den food for summer meals, and now and again some left over for canning. In local markets, also, there may be at times some fruit or vegetable sufficiently abund ant, fresh, and reasonable to at tract homemakers on the lookout for food to put up. For home canners, it’s useful to learn to judge how far a garden surplus or food in market will go in filling jars. Home economists of the U. S. department of agri culture say: Learn to know what can be done with small quantities, as well as large. This year especial ly it’s well worthwhile to put up even three or four jars at a time, always provided you have the right equipment for canning. On the basis of blue ration stamps needed for commercially canned f jods, every jar of home canned food represents a saving in ra tion points . . . besides all the other advantages of storing up summertime food for winter. To help thrifty homemakers figure how many jars of canned food to expect from fruits or veg etables as bought or picked, the home economists offer the follow ing table—with the reminder that such figures can be only approx- ¡mate: APPLES—1 bu.
