Washington, Aug. 2. It is important that you read this article carefully be cause in it Uncle Sam tells you how to avoid failure and disappointment in your war conservation food drying. There tre three ways to dry fruits and vegetables: sun drying, drying by artificial heat and drying by air blast. You may combine all three. To be dried quickly and properly all fruits and vegetables must first bo cut into slices or shredded because they are either too large to dry quickly or are covered with a skin to prevent , drying. - In drying by artificial heat, expose the food first to a gentle, then to a greater heat. This prevents the . cut surfaces becoming scorched and hard, thus covering the juicy interior and preventing drying. Don't subject the food to a greater temperature than 145 degrees fahrenheit. Get an oven ther- mometer to keep track of this. -It is very important and mt be watched closely as the temperature ' in a drier rises quickly. - 1 . The time required for drying varies. Some vegetables can be dried in two or three hours. Turn the food being dried several times to secure uniform: dry ness. When the food is sufficiently dry it should he impossible to press water out of the freshly cut ends. It should not show any of the natural grain of the product on being broken, but it should not be dry enough to snap or crackle. It should be leathery and pliable. Don't use a closed box it will retain the evaporation from the food and cause mold. Certain products, especially raspber ries, should not be dried hard, because if to much moisture is removed from them thy will not resume their origin, ftl form on being Boaked in water. On the other hand, dry the products sufficiently or they will not keep, but will mold. Don't bake it or scorch It, but dry it uniformly, through and through. This point cannot be stressed to much. . It is advisable to "condition" prac tically all fruits and vegetables after they have been dried. Do this bv pour ing them from one box to another day for three or four days, to give them a -uniform moisture. If the material is found to be too moist it should be returned to the dry ing trays for a short time.

Cure for Cholera Morbus "When our little boy, now seven years old, was a baby he was cured of cholera morbus by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, "writes Mrs. Sidney Simmons, Fair Haven, N.

A druggist recom mended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The first dose relieved me and within two days I was as well as ever." Many druggists rec ommend this remedy because they know that it is reliable. Obtainable ev erywhere. . Stanfield and Hauser Make Great Clean-Ups Two of the biggest financial clean' ups ever made in Oregon county in one year were those made by Max H. Hau ser, the wheat man and Robert N. Stan- tield, the sheep man, says the Oregon Voter. Each is said to have made over $2,000,000 net. If each made half of that amount in one year, it would constitute a large amount of money. What is gratifying about both is that tney are investing their profits right there at home instead of back east. Oregon can be proud of theso two en terprising citizens. Both made money by paying higher prices than their com petitors dare to pay. Hauser led the wheat -market, always offering a few cents a buBhel more than the old mill ing and wheat firms. He bought auto mobiles for his buyers and his men were, first on the ground when wheat was of fered. This confidence and nerve helped the growers to get higher prices, and en titld Hauser to all he made. Stanfield, likewise, led the sheep market. He had liters everywhere raised prices higheu ough to got flocks in every part of the northwest em ployed a big payroll of-ranch managers and herders, and managed enough sheep operation to have engaged the capital and abilities of a score of big sheep companies. Prosperity to the industry followed wherever he operated. Hia work made him Ty far the biggest sheet) ownor in the United (states. Both Stanfield and Hauser have proven themselves to be big men. It was not the accident of the war that made them successful. Both had work ed along the same lines for many years before, fighting onward and upwards, overcoming innumerable obstacles. The war simply gave them opportunity for which they were prepared. Both had fine organizations. Both had good rep utations among growers and bankers. Both were known to be fair as well as keen. Neither grudged letting the other fellow make some money. Both men are comparative young men. Stanfield has barely turned torty. Hauser is well under fifty. Both work night and day. Both get out at 4 a. m. in the height of the season. Both work the long distance telephone tho same as a local merchant works his town phone. Both decide instantaneously. Both are irritable under interruption while work ing under high pressure and both relax and play like boys. And both play a first class game of poker. Our drouth situation cannot yet be desperate. No one has yet proposed either to supplicate the Almighty or subsidize a rainmaker. Along with certain lessons in food control and fool control, certain con gressmen and senators, might as well! accumulate a good strong hunch on self control. "Who are pioneers?" i3 the question that State Game Warden Carl D. Shoe maker asked Attorney General Brown recently. Yesterday the attorney gener al answered and said a pioneer was a person who came to Oregon, or was born iu Oregon, before 1860. The question was asked because the new fishing law gives soldiers, sailors and pioneers free fishing and hunting licenses, aud Warden Shoemaker want ed to know who was who. The attor ney general found quite a number of definitions .of a. pioneer; he consulted , several old timers such as George Hiincs, of the Oregon Historical so ciety, and Judge Morelund, clerk of the supremo court, and tho constitution of the Oregon Pioneer association. This document states that pioneers who are eligible to membership in the associa tion are: "All immigrants, malo or female, who resided within the bounds of the original Oregon territory under the treaty of joint occupancy of the U. S. and Great Britain, and all others who camo to, or were born in, said territory prior to the 31st day of December, 1851), are eligible." OFtlTROL PURCHASES SUPPLIES Attorney General Holds It Has This Duty In Relation to the Prison Governor Withycombe is the solo au thority in control it the state peniten tiary as far as rules and regulations, appoiutmenc of warden, etc., concerned, bui wheu it comes to buying supplies, the matter rests with the state board of control just tho sunie as with any other state institution, according to an opin ion of Attorney General isrown yester day. The opinion was given in reply to a emery from the state ooard of control as to tuo responsibility of tho governor and the state board of control in rela tion to the penitentiary. Heretofore, the control of the peni tentiary has teen with state board of of control, but the new law of 1917 pla ces it in the hands of the governor. At a -recent meeting of the board of control the question as la how far the authority of the governor extended caino. It was insited by the two other members of the board of control that the governor was the responsible agent entirely while the governor said he thought the board had the same authority when it came to the purchase of supplies, etc. The opinion of the attorney general confirms the stand of the governor. The statute giving tho governor authority over the penitentiary says that it is to be "liberally construed", which will give the- governor authority where the statutes are ammgious, Chapter 174 of the laws of 1917 pla ces with the governor in regard to tho states activities at the penitentiary but it does not repeal or supersede the au thority of the board of control acting as a state purchasing agent, including tho penitentiary. The authority and res ponsibility of the board extends only' to the purchasing of such supplies, re pairs, improvements, etc., as is neces sary. STATE REGISTRATION LIST.
