The Sheriff’s force, Justice Ben R.
Ramey, Constable Petty and a few
others over around the county seat
of justice were over on Sulphur yes-
terday on a fishing expedition and
squirrel hunt. They brought home no
fish and no squirrels', but look ticky
to us. We hope they don’t get the
courthouse ticky. The Echo man
had rather have the old-time itch than
to be ticky.
* * :fc
The Echo man learns with regret
that Judge Homer L. Pharr is in bad
health, way out in the Windy West,
from what sonie say is overwork. Too
much work and too little feed will
get both man and beast. Come on
home, Judge, and get your feet under
the tables of your many friends in
old Hopkins. You are suffering far
more from lack of something to eat
than from overwork. The Echo man
knows his okra on West Texas. The
greatest sight we ever beheld on the
table was a big platter of fried chick-
en the day we landed in Sulphur
springs fifteen years ago, half starv-
ed, from the Windy West. We are
still going strong on the fried chick-
en route and our health is good. The
only overwork that affects us is get-
ting around to the many good things
to eat on our own table at our own
home up on North Davis street.
* * *
And again the Echo man declares
for the old Populist docti’ine of free
and unlimited (Coinage of silver at the
ratio of sixteen to%ne, or*any other
ratio. We need silver to “bust up”
these ten and twenty dollar bills so
common down this way on holidays
when the banks and postoffices close.
Mayor Henry McGrede of Busy Main,
Mayor Dave Walker of Tatersville
and Mayor Ed Hardin of Hardinville
need more silver in their businesses,
along with buffalo nickels and cop-
pers.

Written at the Baker Hotel, Min-
eral Wells, Texas! Left home this
morning early to drive to the Pacific
coast. Spent the morning driving on
a splendid highway via Sulphur,
Ardmore, Marietta, and other pro-
gressive Oklahoma cities. Had a
lunch at the famous Texas Hotel in
Fort Worth, and then started West
on that great highway known as
“The Broadway of America.” Will
ride on itJ all the way to San Diego,
California. It’s a wonderful high-
way, hard surfaced most of the way.
I reached Mineral Wells for a
night’s stop. I like it so well that I
am going to stay two nights in-
stead of one. Miles before you reach
Mineral Wells you can see the mag-
nificent Baker Hotel. This hotel is
the South’^ finest resort and tourist
hotel. It is as fine as any hotel in
Texas. It is something different and
I find the rates most reasonable. It
is located in the heart of the city.
On account of the curative waters
her6, Mineral Wells is advertised
the world over as the city where
‘America Drinks Its Way to Health.’
I find the business people and citi-
zens here very progressive.
Because the folks here do things
as a unit. They have no factional
fights over questions and matters
arising for the development of the
things which are for the betterment
of business.
Because their business men are
willing to give time and money to
the betterment of the city.
Because Mineral Wells has a repu-
tation of being a good city in which
to live, work and play, and lives up
to that reputation.
Mineral Wells is just beginning to
enter a new era of development,
with her face toward the sun.
Mineral Wells believes in news-
paper advertising, and by so doing is
attracting most favorable attention
from the world. v
From here I continue along “The
Broadway of America,” going thru
many wonderful West Texas cities,
among them Ranger, Eastland, Cis-
co, Sweetwater, Odessa and Van
Horn'^each one an eye-opener ' to
anyone who has never visited West
Texas.
STEAM PRESSURE
CANNING EASILY
DONE BY WIFE
Uncle Jimmie Wellborn is home
and home to stay, after several years
spent in West Texas, Oklahoma and
down at Corpus Christi, to the de-
light of relatives and old friends
here, These old-timers, like Deep-
waters, may wander far away but
they always come home. Once in:
Grace always in Grace, invariably
rings the bell and brings the boys
home again.

The Legislature down at Austin
failed to re-district the state into
congressional districts, with the re-
sult that three congressmen-at-large
may be elected next year from Tex-
as. Some of the politicians are afraid
that Governor Jim Ferguson will get
in. The Echo man rises to remark
that he knows another old-timer who
will likely get in, too. His name is
Cyclone Davis, of Sulphur Springs.
Throw down the bars and let all the
ponies run. All the nation will hear
from Governor Jim and Cyclone Da-
vis should they make headquarters in
Washington during the next Con-
gress. The Echo man is for Cyclone
and we don’t care if Jim goes, too.

The Brinker home demonstration
club met at the home of Mrs. N. J.
Gilpin Tuesday afternoon. Our
president, Mrs. Irene Kerr, called
the house to order and after the
reading of the minutes, a few bus-
iness items were attended to. Our
membership committee reported 13
new members, of which we are very
glad, making a total of 24 members.
Mrs. Gilpin and Miss Florence Mills
agreed to be our home demonstra-
tors. Mrs. O. P. Kent was elected
as our council delegate. Our home
demonstration agent, Miss Stevens,
was with us and demonstrated the
canning of beans and peas with the
use of the pressure canner. She al-
so spoke on a number of things that
would be useful to house wives in
their canning. We are very glad to
have Miss Stevens with us in our
club work and feel that she is going
to be of much help to us not only
in conserving our food products, but
also in making our houses more con-
venient and our yards more beauti-
ful.
We were glad to have some visit-
ors from other communities with us
and invite them or any one else
who is interested in our club work
to meet with us on Tuesday after-
noon, July 7th., at the home of Mrs-
C. D. Cole. At that time Miss
Stevens will demonstrate the
ning of corn in tins.

This age of mechanics will not
have reached its zenith until some-
one writes a poem entitled, “Lines
to an Electric Milkmaid.”—The
Charlotte News.
By MAGGIE GRIMES
Written Especially for The Semi-
Weekly Farm News.
Of the several methods of canning
the steam pressure^ canner affords
the most satisfactory method for
dealing with vegetables. Beans, peas,
corn and the leafy greens are non-
acid and often harbor highly resist-
ant bacteria. If these germs are not
put out of business the vegetable will
not keep and sometimes dven if the
vegetable does stay put it will have
a flat slightly sour taste.
Even with a pressufe canner we
must get up tlie right pressure and
hold it according to the rule or we
may get unsatisfactory results. Can-
ning in general, since it is impossible
to predict with certainty the nature
of the bacteria which may be present
in the product we are working with
and so we can not tell just what de-
gree of heat will be necessary to kill
them.
For this reason we will expect va-
riations in the procedure of the most
successful canners. Great care and
good judgment is necessary in vary-
ing methods to suit individual re-
quirements. For instance, you may
cook a can of corn a little longer
than necessary, with no bad results,
but if you shorten the time beyond
a safe limit you will have spoiled the
corn. I would never fail to hold the
canner at the pressure recommended
in the time table which comes with it
at least as long as directed and I
would not have any slow cooling and
heating up again to finish the job.
When once a batch is in the canner
keep right pressure through the en-
tire period.
Combatting “Flat Sours.”
Those who can in glass have more
trouble with “flat sours” than those
who use the tin cans. This is due to
the fact that glass will not permit of
rapid cooling while the tin can may
be plunged into cold water as soon as
taken from the canner. I do not
know just what organism causes this
trouble, but it is able to stand a lot
of rough treatment and still survive.
Corn, peas, lima beans and some-
times beets and string beans give the
most trouble.
WinthouLthe use of a pressure can-
ner it is difficult to process with
enough heat to kill this organism, but
it can not endure long under ten or
fifteen pounds steam pressure. Pro-
cess sweet corn in No. 2 cans for 90
minutes at ten pounds pressure or
from sixty to eighty minutes at fif-
teen pounds. Lima beans will be all
right cooked 45 to 60 minutes at ten
pounds pressure. Do not begin count-
ing time until the pressure is up to
the desired point and hold this pres-
sure continuously as long as required.
“An hour from field to can” is a
very good slogan for the home can-
ner. Plant as well as animal tissues
contain certain substances called en-
zymes in which cause great changes
very rapidly. As the apple ripens it
becomes sweet instead of starchy.
Tender vegetables change rapidly
after they are gathered and are not'
fit to can if kept very long. There is
no process for canning which will re-
store qualities which the product has
already lost before being canned.
The best canning only keeps the veg-
etable or fruit as good as it was when
it went into the can. If beans are old
and stringy when gathered they will
be that way still after they are can-
ned. “The fountain of youth” for veg-
etables and fruit is yet to be found.
If something happens to keep you
from working your material as soon
as it is brought in spread it out as it
it likely to “heat” when piled up,
even for a short time. Do not use bas-
kets or old bags which have contain-
ed spoiled vegetable matter. The
molds in them will soon ruinihe fresh
material.
Prepare your vegetables as though
getting ready to serve them fresh,
discarding all undesirable parts and
washing off all grit and dirt. Though
not necessary to keeping blanching is
can- good practice for the second step.
This dipping into boiling water re-
duces the bulk and so enables, you to
get more into a can.
The cold dipping which follows is
simply to .enable you to handle the
product with ease and is not neces-
sary except in that you can work
more rapidly and not let bacteria get
in much time. Becteria do not stop
working until the cooking is well be-
gun and you want to get to that stage
as soon as possible. Most becteria
thrive the better when warm and
moist than at any other time.
Blanching, as a rule, removes a lit-
tle of the flavor and so if you want
to keep the maximum of original fla-
vor and those elusive vitamines which
are so essential to health omit the
blanching and subsequent cold dip.
Shrink spinach and other leafy vege-
tables by steaming. Work rapidly.
No preservative whatever is neces-
sary to insure the keeping qualities
cf anything canned in a steam pres-
sure canner. All you have to do is get
quality material to begin with and
keep it in that condition until you get
it in the machine. If you follow the
simple detailed instructions which
come with the canner and do your
timing accurately for the product you
are using you need have no concern
about whether your material is going
to keep.
When canning mixtures always pro-
cess according to the rule given for
the ingredient which requires the
longest itme. Salt is usually added to
vegetable in the proportion of one
teaspoonful to the quart of vegetable.
Other seasoning may be added to suit
the individual taste.
Importance of Cooling.
Cooling is important. The flavor of
all vegetable products seems to be im-
proved by rapid cooling. The steril-
ization process ceases the instant the
temperature goes below the boliing
point and so nothing can be gained
by keeping things warm. If a large
number of cans are stacked together
before cooling they will keep warm
for hours, maybe days. This helps
cause “flat sours.” Dip cans into cold
water and let them stay until they
will barely dry themselves when you
take them out. If you have no running
water for this change the water oft-
en. If you can’t do any better, set the
hot cans on moist sand in a shady
place where the breeze will help cool
them.
Store canned material in the cool-
est dry place you have available. Be-
fore cold weather begins store where
there is no danger of' freezing or
there will be many changes in tem-
perature. Sudden changes may cause
the cans to “swreat” and rust.
Examine all cans before storing and
remove those having defective seals.
If any show bulging ends set them
aside. This may be caused by being
packed too tightly or it may be the
beginning of spoilage. If the swell
gets any worse the safest thing is to
discard it. If there is too much air in
a can con taining a strong acid the
can may rust inside and develop a
“pin hole.” This food is then unsafe.
These are merely some of the things
which can happen and are usually the
result of undue haste or carelessness.
After a little practice in operating
the sealer and packing the product in
the cans you will rarely have any
losses.
Get all equipment clean and ready
for business in plenty of time. Have
plenty of clean cloths and utensils on
hand and a good working space pro-
vided before you ever gather your
fruits and vegetables. Then follow
directions and work rapidly with a
sure hand and forget the possibility
of failure. It is only a possibility.
BOYS IN GRAY
GHEEREULOGY
OF JEFF DAVIS
Montgomery, Alabama, June 3.
Gray-haired soldiers who as youths
called him co.mmander in chief Wed-
nesday gave a rousing cheer for Jef-
ferson Davis, as Gen! Rice A. Pierce
Union City, Tenn., eulogized the
only President of the Confederacy
in commemoration of the anniversa
ry of his birth.
% The eulogy of Mr. Davis was given
during \ the afternoon business ses-
sion of the 41st. reunion of the Uni-
ted Confederate Veterans. The morn
ing session was devoted to organiza-
tion and the annual address of their
commander, Gen. L. W. Stephens, of
Coushatta, La.
Jefferson Davis was described as
“a soldier, a statesnian, and a patri-
ot” by General Pierce, who said;
“The principles for which the
Confederacy stood for are just as
sacred as in 1860 and ’61, and those
principles still live and will ever live
so long as constitutional government
survives.”
Brig. Gen. George H. Armistead,
editor of the Nashville, Tenn., Ban-
ner, described the veterans as “a
constructive force” after surrender-
ing their battle flags.
“The progress of the Southern
States today is due to the fortitude
and perseverance of Confederate
soldiers,” General Armistead said
“The heroic age of the South did not
end at Appomattox but has extend-
ed down through the age.”
The veterans at night were guests
of honor at a reception in Camp
Stephens auditorium, tendered them
by sons of Confederate veterans.
Thursday a new staff of officers
will be elected and the next reunion
city will be chosen.

NOTICE
CANNING CARROTS
BY MISS STEVENS
“Carrots used for canning should
be young and tender and not more
than one and one-half inches in
diameter. Sort, wash and steam or
boil until three-fourths cooked, or
cook under 15 pounds pressure for
one minute, remove at once, scrape
and cut into lengths of the can, slic-
ed or diced. Fill the jars or cans
and cover with boiling brine (2 1-2
oz. of salt to one gallon -of water)
and process in boiling water con-
tinuously for three hours or under
five pounds steam pressure — No. 2
cans 25 minutes, and quart jars,
35 minutes; No. 3 cans and pint
jars at a temperature of 228 F.
An attractive pack of carrots in
glass may be made by placing the|
circles in layers, fitting the second
layer into the space left by the
first layer and repeating until the
jar is filled. The center should b
filled in as each outsidb layer is
placed against the glass. Matur
carrots are not suitable for canning:
they are better if dried or keptj
stored in a root bank or cellar.”
