If underripe it is tasteless, has a poor ap pearance and a tendency to sour. If over-ripe it is dry and discoloi s when processing. The corn should be canned within half an hour after gathering if possible. If pulled with husks and considerable of the shank ou it will stay fresh somewhat longer. Corn that has been gathered for soine time is more likely to spoil. More salt than is necessary for flavoring is likely to produce a sour taste. A small amount of sugar about one teaspoon to the quart, improves the flavor. Very hard water tends to make the corn yellow. It is also made yellow and the flavor impaired by over-cooking. To avoid this, after blanching for five minutes and cold dipping, have cans hot, pa< k corn in cans as quickly as possible, cover with hot water and place in water bath at once. At the end of sterilizing period (three hours) remove at once, tighten cans and cool quickly, avoiding a dried draft to prevent cans from breaking. Corn swells when processing, therefore, at least half an inch of space should be left at the top of the can. The liquid in the can will be clearer and hte corn will be a better texture and more easily sterilized if it is shaken into the cans rather than squeezed dn. A solid mass of corn prevents circulation in the can and makes it more difficult for the heat to penetrate. Good cot n should* be a good color, not yellow or brown, have the kernels distinct and the liquid clear. If corn spoils, it should not be reheated and used as the spoiling may be due to the growth of the bacteria. For bulletins and other helps write to Purdue University, Lafayette, lad.

SCHOOLMISTRESS RECEIVES WAR CROSS. (United Press Service) Paris, July 20 (By Mall) —Quesmy. a little village north of the Oise, counts July 7, 1917, as the proudest day in its modest annals. On that day a French ’ general, with a guard of war-veterans in attendance, came to pin tiie war ’ cross on the breast of Madame I’elle- ’ quer, the local schoolmistress and 5 mayor, for her gallant conduct. Mme. Pellequer is one of those • modest heroines whom France has rea--1 son to be proud of. When the war broke out Mme. Pellequer was teach--1 ing school in Quesmy, while her hitsi band was similarly employed at the 'neighboring village of Maucourt. Her husband left for the front, and she took over his pupils. I The Germans occupied Quesmy, and I found Mme. Pellequer installed rs 'mayor, maintaining order and attending to everything. She it was who first refused to salute the invaders, who. for once, overlooked this insub . ordination. On one occasion, the commanding officer visited the school and remarked that the provinces of Alsace-Ixir-raine were indicated on the mai , which hung in the class room as form- ■ ing part of France. He pointed out (this fact and asked Mme. Pellequer , why they were separated from the , German empire. “Because they belong to us,” she answered simply. Then, at last, the French returned in March, and the report they made of the noble 1 work accomplished by Mme. Pellequer. has earned her the distinction reserved for the heroes of France.

FAILED TO SALUTE Two officers at Annapolis Academy recently passed a cadet who not only failed to give the customary salute but raid little attention to the fact that they had stopped, stunned by his breach of discipline. One of the officers gave an abrupt command and the cadet stopped. “Why don’t you salute?” asked the officer. The cadet started to reply when the other officer said. “Go to the guardhouse for ten days." It was at this point that the officers noticed make-up on the cadet’s face and then remembered that the Vitagraph Company was filming scenes at the naval academy for its latest feature, “The Hero of Submarine D-2.” James Morrison, who played the part of the cailet, admitted that he was frightened, and thereafter he salut'd everything that wore brass buttons, even telegraph boys, rather than undergo a repetition of this scene.
