Secretary of Navy Daniels
made the statmcnt last week
that he can increase the gas pro
duction in United States from 3,
000,000,000, gallons to 9,000,
000,000, a year, and can thereby
furnish gasoline to the Govern
ment at six cents per gallon.
It is estimated that the stu
pendous sum of $350,000,000
was spent for automobile tires
last year. Of this vast expendi
ture experts figure $105,000,000
was squandered by auto drivers
through carelessness and ignor
ance in the use and care of tires.
The annual reunion of the
Lutherans of Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia and
the District of Columbia will be
held at Pen-Mar on Thursday,
July 26, 1917. A fine program
has been prepared and all who
attend will have a very enjoyable
day's outing.
Where the starting crank is
not handy and tne self-starter
fails to work, the motor may be
started by jacking up one rear
wheel, throwing off the brake,
and setting the gears at direct
drive. By turning the wheel the
motor will be operated in same
manner as when crank was used.
Caution: Do not lower jack until
clutch is neutral.
One farmer, in Oklahoma,
who had lost in failures of cereal
crops during a series of years,
decided to seed all his land to
potatoes this year. His enter
prise was sucessful, and two
weeks ago he was paid $80,000
spot ,pash for the crop in the
ground. Farmers are getting
$2.60 a bushel for their potatoes,
against sixty-five cents this time
last year.
Every, soldier who goes to
France wearing the khaki of the
United States army to face the
fury of the Teuton steel will be
given a pocket Testament to
carry with him into the fray.
This task has been undertaken by
the members of the Pocket Tes
tament League of that country.
Orders have been placed with the
Oxford Press in London for 250,
000 of these pocket Testaments.

Not Too Lats to Plant
F. F. Rockwell, author of
"Around the year in the Gar
den" &c, says it is not yet too
late, to grow a good supply of
vegetables, even if you have not
had a garden this year; or, if
you have some idle ground that
you wish to utilize.
There .is among amateur gard
eners an unwritten tradition that
gardens must be planted in the
spring. As a matter of fact a
fairly complete garden may be
planted successfully as late as
the middle of July. There are
approximately 100 days of grow
ing weather after that date,
while the majority of vegetables
require less than 90 days to be
ready for use. It is a fact that
Nature does most of her seed
sowing, not in the spring, but
during the summer and early fall.
One of the chief reasons why
summer planting is not carried
on more extensively is that, in
many sections of the country,
we usually have at that time a
dry condition of the soil that de
lays or interferes with germina
tion. This year fortunately, we have
had abundant rains throughout
June, so that the soil is just the
right condition to assure the
prompt germination of seeds
planted now.
WHAT YOU CAN PLANT NOW.
The list of vegetables which
can still be grown this year in
cludes: Beans, Beets, Cabbage,
Cauliflower, Celery, Sweet Corn,
Lettuce, Peas, ' Radish, Squash
(Summer) and Turnips. Of the
above.' vegetables, Cabbage, cauli
flower, and Celery, may be ob
tained locally In plants already
started. If you can get the plants,
there is still plenty of time for
tomatoes. They will be in their
prime, during September and
early October, when tbe local
crop is pretty well gone by, and
both ripe and green tomatoes for
making pickles and preserves
are hard to get.
The other vegetables, in the
list above, should be started now
from seed. There is one point
about which care should be taken,
however, That is: For Late
Planting use Early varieties. .
This advice may seem para
doxical at first, tut will appear
commonsense on a moment's reflection.
Vegetables and Fruits that Dry Well
In an article about the dried
fruit industry in Farm and Fire
side, a writer says: .
"Vegetables like Irish and
sweet potatoes, sweet corn, string
and shelled beans, require par
ticular care to prevent souring
during the drying process.
"Raspberries, blackberries, log
anberries, and huckleberries are
usually overdried and become
like shot in hardness and the
quality suffers by thus overdry
ing. The right stage with ber
ries is when they can be squeezed
without showing stain on the
hands.
"It is a safe precaution before
storing all dried products to keep
them in a screened, warm and
rat-proof airy place like an attic,
in baskets or other ventilated
containers where they can be ex
amined daily for a week or two
to make sure there is no interior
moisture that might cause spoil
age were the dried products at
once tightly stored."

The Boy Sconts
The Boy Scouts of America
performed a notable service to
the country in their campaign
for the sale of the Liberty Loan
Bonds. Through their efforts
more than $25,000,000 of the
bonds were sold directly. How
many sales were due indirectly
to their activity can not be
known.
The Boy .Scouts worked sys
tematically and thoroughly and
with an earnestness that was in
spiring. They covered fields
that could not have been well
covered by other agencies and
effected sales that would not have
been made without their efforts.
The Scouts have not only prov
en their patriotism, they have
shown their efficiency and their
civic value.
