CANNING EXPERTS TO GO TO FRANCE tWill Carry Home Preserva tion of Food Into That Country Wiushlngton, May 24.—When the Jtochambeau steams out of New York harbor Tuesday, bound for France, it will have on board four canning and drying missionaries to the French. They are missionaries in that they will carry the message of home preservation of food to a country which now does practically no canning at home. There It is a job for factories. It is a co-operative enterprise, the parties to it being the American Commission for Devastated France, the French Ministry of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture. The party was made up following a cabled request from the French Minister of Agriculture, through the French High Commis sion, to Secretary of Agriculture Houston, requesting the loan of some home demonstration workers who were experts in canning. Two home demonstration agents in the French regions of Louisiana were selected for the Job. They were no tified Saturday, and started for Washington Monday. They are Miss Erin Dore, of Crowley, Acadia Par ish, and Miss Caroline A. Boudreaux of Scott, Lafayette Parish. With them goes Mrs. Bernice Carter Davis, formerly State Home Demon stration Agent for Texas, and Dr. Frants P. Lund, canning and drying expert in the Office of Extension Work South, Department of Agri culture. The party left Washington with a full canning equipment—numerous full sets of equipment, in fact. There was taken, also, some canning ex hibits, a number of reels of motion pictures of canning work in the South, and everything necessary for a complete course of instruction in canning vegetables, fruits and meats in the home. A number of Ameri can manufacturers made contribu tions of both tin cans and glass Jars and of various kinds of equipment. The Department of Agriculture has prepared the material for a bulletin on canning to be issued by the French government. mil ■■lll IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO MOTORISTS THE AUTO RADIATOR CO. 125 S.

Mo uto beans with ft knife, made three secret visits to old Mombl, and limped •lightly on his left toot." "Ah I that last is certainly suspi cions!" exclaimed the Pumpkinhead. "Not necessarily," said the Scarecrow, "ho may have had corns. Now, It seems to me his eating beans with a knife is more suspicious." "Perhaps it is a polite custom In Omaha, from which great country the Wizard originally came," suggested the Tin Woodman. "It may be," admitted the Scarecrow. "But why," asked Glinda, "did he make three secret visits to old Mombl?" "Ah! Why, indeed!" echoed the Woggle-Bug, impressively. "We know that the Wizard taught the old woman many of his tricks of magic," continued Glinda; "and this he would not have done had sho not assisted him in some way. So we may suspect with goad reason that Mmpbl aided him to hide the girl Ozma, who was the real heir to the throne of the Emerald City, and a constant danger to the usurper. For, if the people knew that she lived, they would quickly make her their Queen and restore her to iter rightful position." "An able argument!" cried the Scare crow. "I have no doubt that Mombi was mixed up in this wicked business. But how does that knowledge help us?" "We must find Mombi," replied Glin da, "and force her to tell where the girl is hidden." "Mombi Is now with Queen JinJur In the Emerald City," said Tip. "It was she who threw so many obstacles in our pathway, and made Jinjur threaten to destroy my friends and give me back into the old witch's power." ( I They all looked over the side "Then," decided GSllnda, "I will march with my army to the Emerald City, and take Mombl prisoner. After that we can, perhaps, force her to tell the truth about Ozma." "She Is a terrible old woman!" re marked Tip, with a shudder at the HXRRjfclitmG thought of Mombi's black kettle; "and obstinate, too." "X am quite obstinate myself," re turned the Sorceress, with a sweet smile ; "so I do not fear Mombl In the least. To-day I will make all necessary preparations, and we will march upon the Kmerald City at daybreak to-mor row." The Army of Glinda the Good looked very grand and Imposing when It as sembled at daybreak before the palace gates. The uniforms of the girl sol diers were pretty and of gay colors, and their silver-tipped spears were bright and glistening, the long shafts being inlaid with mother-of-pearl. All the officers wore sharp, gleaming swords, and shields edged with peacock-feathers ; and it really seemed that no foe could by any possibility defeat such a bril liant army. The Sorceress rode In a beautiful palanquin which was like the body of a coach, having doors and windows with silken curtains; but Instead of wheels, which a coach has, the palanquin rested upon two long, horizontal bars, which were borne upon the shoulders of twelve servants. The Scarecrow and his comrades de cided to ride in the Gump, in order to keep up with the swift march of the army; so, as soon as Glinda had started and her soldiers had marched away to the inspiring strains of music played by the royal band, our friends climbed Into the sofas and followed. The Gump flew along slowly at a point directly over the palanquin In which rode the Sor ceress. "Be careful," said the Tin Woodman to the Scarecrow, who was leaning far over the side to look at the army below. "You might fall." "It wouldn't matter," remarked the educated Woggle-Bug; "he can't get broke so long as he Is stuffed with money." "Didn't I ask you—" began Tip, In a reproachful voice. "You did!" said the Woggle-Bug, promptly. "And I beg your pardon. I will really try to restrain myself.' "You'd better," declared the boy, "That is. If you wish to travel In our company." "Ah! I couldn't bear to part with you now," murmured the Insect, feel ingly; so Tip let the subject drop. The army moved steadily on, but night had fallen before they came to the walls of the Kmerald City. By the dim light of the new moon, however, Glinda's forces silently surrounded the city and pitched their tents of scarlet silk upon the greensward. The tent of the Sor ceress was larger than the others, and was composed of pure white silk, with scarlet banners flying above it. A tent was also pitched for the Scarecrow's party; and when these preparations had bet* made, with military precision and qdPUness, the army retired to rest. Great was the amazement of Queen Jinjur next morning when her soldiers came running to inform her of the vast army surrounding them. She at once climbed to a high tower of the royal palace and saw banners waving In every direction and the great white tent of Glinda standing directly before the are surely lost!" cried Jinjur, In despair; "for how can our knitting needles avail against the long spears and terrible swords of our foes? "The best thing we can do," said one of the girls, "is to surrender aB quickly as possible, before we get hurt." "Not so," returned Jinjur, more brave lv "The enemy is still outside the walls, so we must try to gain time by engaging them in parley. Go you wUh a flag of truce to Glinda and ask her why she has dared to Invade my do minions and what are her demands. So the girl passed through the gates, bearing a white flag to show she was on a mission of peace, and camfc to Gl - i 'T d e'li H vour t Queen." said the Sorceress to the girl.

"Why, it's Je .(a cried the Scarecrow, recognizing In the girl one of his old friends, "It's our interpreter!" sa.fd the Pump kinhead, smiling pleasantly. Then Jellia was forced to tell of the trick Mombl had played, and she also begged Qllnda's protection, which the Sorcerese readily granted. But Qllnda was now really angry, and sent word to Jlnjur that the fraud was discovered and she must deliver up the real Mombl or suffer terrible consequences. Jlnjur was prepared for fhis message, for the witch well understood, when her nat ural form was thrust upon her, that Glinda had discovered her trickery. But the wicked old creature had already thought up a new deception, and had made Jlnjur promise to carry It out. So the Queen said to Glhula's messen ger: "Tell your mistress that I cannot find Mombi anywhere; hut that Glinda Is welcome to enter the cfty and search herself for the old woman. She may also bring her friends with her. If she likes; but it she does not find Mombl by sun down, the Sorceress must promise to go away peaceably and bother us no more." Glinda agreed to these terms, well knowing that Mombl was somewhere within the city walls. So Jlnjur caused the gates to be thrown open, Glinda marched In at the head of a company of soldiers, followed by the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, while Jack Pumpkinhead rode astride the Saw- Horse, and the Kducated, Highly Mag nified Woogle-Bug sauntered behind In a dignified manner. Tip walked by the side of the Sorceress, for Glinda had conceived a great liking for the boy. Of course old Mombl had no Inten tion of being found by Glinda: so, while her enemies were marching up the street, the witch transformed herself into a red rose growing upon a bnsh In the garden of the palace. It was a clever idea, and a trick Glinda did not suspect; so several precious hours were spent in a vain search for Mombi. AH sundown approached the Sorceress realized she had been defeated by the superior cunning of the aged witch; so she gave the command to her people to march out of the city and back to their tents. The Scarecrow and his comrades hap pened to be searching in the garden of the palace Just then, and they turned with disappointment to obey Glinda s command. But before they left the garden the Tin Woodman, who was fond of flowers, ohanced to espy a big red rose growing upon a bush; so he plucked the flower and fastened it securely in the tin buttonhole of his tin bosom. As he did this he fancied he heard a low moan proceed from the rose; but he paid no attention to the sound. mhWm tsr HAI.F SQUARE -SI FROM THE SQUARE Seven S.
