Thia question suggested itself today from an announcement in Chicago of a National Canning Contest to find the beet jar of canned fruit, vegetables or meat in the country. Twelve hundred and fifty dollars in cold cash awaits the woman or girl irt the United States whose entry is be*t ?snned food entered in the contest. The contest, which is sponsored by the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural foundation, seeks to acquaint more housewives with the economy nnd health-1 fulness of home canned foods. For years the U, S. Department of Agriculture and home demonstration agents throughout the country have worked for increased production of native canned foods. It is to further thia excellent idea and at the same time to help absorb the threatened surplus of farm products in many sections, that this canning project was conceived. Two hundred and twenty-two cash prizes, totalling $5,825, will be disbursed to the winners in the contest, which has three major divisions: fruit, vegetables and meat. The best entry in each division will be award'ed $250, and one of1 these will also receive the thousand dollar sweepstakes prize, thus bringing the total cash prize for the best jar of canned food in the contest to $1,250. Second prize in each of the three divisions will be $200, third prize $100, and fourth prize, $50. Thero will also be five prizes of $25 each, ten prizes of $10 euch and fifty prizes of $5 each. In addition, a thousand dollars in cash will be awarded to the home demonstration ;igent whose county sends in the greatest number of entries, $500 to the agent whose county has the next largest number, and $100 to the agent whose county sends in the third largest number of entries. A number of lesser merchandise prizes are also offered. According to the rules, the contesc is open to every woman and girl in the United States. There are no restrictions as to tfp nature of the food sent; any fruit, vegetable or meat, whether home grown or purchased, is acceptable. Contestants may enter one, two or all three divisions. Entries, regardless of when canned, must not be sent in prior to August 15 nor later than October 1, which is the closing date of the contest. No entries will be returned, but instead these will be sent, with the name and address of the contestant, to an orphanage, hospital, infirmary or other charitable institution to be selected by the Foundation. ? Specimens of canned fruits and vegetables in the contest will be judged on the basis of clearness color, pack, neatness, flavor and texture. Meat specimens will be judged in their relation to pack, neatness, texture and flavor. There will be three judges, to be selected by the Foundation from a list of outstanding authorities on home economics, domestic science, and canned food. Their decision will be made known just as soon as possible after October 1. > "Any method of Canning may be used for this contest," announces Anne Williams, director of the contest. "The use of a steam pressure cooker, however, is highly recommended by canning experts and by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, especially in canning meats. Not only does this method of canning save time and fuel and assure absolutely sterility and preservation, but food canned under pressure retains nil its natural flavor and texture, which are vital points in any canning contest." That the judging may be thoroughly impartial and the display of canned samples absolutely uniform, contestants are required to submit their entries in standard glass jars of the quart size. All contestants will be furnished with one Ball mason jar and carton for sending in a canned article, but those making entries in more than one division are expected to supply their own jars and shipping cartons. The sample jar and prize entry labels for use in submitting entries may be secured without cost by communicating with the - headquarters of the National Canning Contest, 925 S. Homan avenue, Chicago, 111. i T' ? Hail Does Damage.

E. Thomas has resigned. Never again will he pull the switch that sends the electric current hurtling through the bodies of ? those whom the courts of the state have condemned to death, jerking them into eternity. "I was a fool ever to accept the job in the first place," Thomas told this correspondent in discussing his resignation. "I am through with it all for good." When asked if he was sure he was going to stick by his determination to resign, or?whether he might reconsider, Thomas said: "Reconsider nothing! I have already quit and am going to stick." .'Until recently Thomas lived in Ivouisburg, whore ho was a deputy sheriff. Recently he Accepted a job as a guard in the state prison here. And it is largely because of this fact that he decided to give up his job as executioner, ho states.
