Principles and Methods of
Fruit and Vegetable Drying
By George Martin,
'(United press Staff Correspondent.)
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.
Y. "Since then other members of my
family have used this valuable medi
cine for colic and bowel troubles with
good satisfaction and I gladly endorse
it as a remedy of exceptional merit,"
Obtainable everywhere.
QUAKERS MUST- BE FIRM
- Killed His Chief.
New Orleans, La., AtigVS, Superin
tendent of Police James W. Reynolds
was killed today by Garry Mullen, re
cently dismissed detective.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2 Young Phila
delphia Quakers liable to draft are to

them to be "firm but not combative."
Just the Thing for Diarrhoea
"About two years ago I had a severe
attack of diarrhoea which lasted over
a week," writes W. C. Jones, Buford,
N. D. "I became so weak that I could
not stand upright. 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.

Attorney General Brown Says
Commission Has Discre
tionary Powers
Can a state highway that is specific
ally designated by the road law of 1917
to follow tho two sides of a triango
be changed so that it will follow th
third siile of tho trianiile and so bo
shortened? was the question the staO
highway commission put up to Attorney
Genera) Brown recently. The attorney
general replied in an opinion handed
down yesterday that the commission
could change tho route of the highway.
In his opinion he says the law vent
the commission with a wide discretion
with reference to roads to be improved,
and that the general language of tho
law is in general terms rather than spe
cific, lie calls attention to that part of
the law which reads "No description
of any highway provided for herein
shall be construed to prevent the stnto
highway commission from making such
local changes as they may deem proper."
