Sax hundred dollars for a quart jar
of canned food! Can one jar of food
be worth that ?
Thj& is a question that is agitating
Caiadopt homemakers since word got
around that six hundred dollars in
cash would be paid for the best jar
of fruit, vegetables or meat entered
in the second National Canning Contest
which is being held at Shenandoah,
Iowa, under the auspices of
the Household Science Institute.
The content seeks, to further the
work of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the home demonstration
agents throughout the country
by focusing the attention of American
housewives on the economy and
hculthfulness of home-canned foods.
First prize winner in the National
Canning Contest last year Mrs.-Mary,,
Hvass, Kennan, Wisconsin, farm woman,
whose entry of a quart jar of
green peas was chosen as the best
entered by the girls and women from
all sections of the United States.
The Holding of the contest in Iowa
this year is due to the influence of
Henry Field, Shenandoah farmer,
and KFNF announcer whose career is
one of the romances of American life.
Imbued with the spirit of thrift, he j
readily agreed to serve as president
and to oversee the innumerable de- j
tails connected with a project of sijgh
size and scope.
Four hundred and seventy prizes,
totalling $4,250 in cash, loving cups
and rbbons, will be distributed to the
winners in the contest, which comprises
three major divisions: fruits,
vegetables and meats. Tho best entry
in each division will be awarded
$100. One of these will also receive
the five-hundred dollar sweepstakes
prize. Second prize in each division
will be $50; the third prize $25 and
the fourth prize $10. The winners
will also receive a loving cup and
ribbon. There will also be 30 prizes
of five dollars each, 75 prizes of
$2.50 each and 300 prizes of one
dollar each. In addition, five hundred
dollars in cash will be awarded
tc the home demonstration aigent
whose county sends in the largest
number of entries, $250 to the agent
whose county sends in the next largest
number, and $100 to the agent
of the county sending in the third
largest number.
The contest is open to every woman
and girl in the United States. There
are no restrictions as to the nature
of the food sent. Contestants may
enter one. two or all three divisions.
Entries should be sent in as soon as
possible after canning. These will be
placed and kept on exhibition at
Shenandoah until after the closing of
the contest, which will be on October
1. . .
Fruit and vegetable entries in the
contest will be judged for clearness,
color pack, neatness, flavor and texture.
The meat entries will be judged
on neatness, texture and flavor.
Judges, each one a recognized food
i uthtM ity wUl be Dr. Louise Stanley,

Contestants are free to use any
method of canning they prefer, aqcording
to Grace Viall Gray, nationalJ
ly-known canning exipert and secretary
of the Contest. However, the
I use of a steam pressure cooker is
I recommended by the U. S. DepartI
nient of Agriculture, especially in the
I canning of meat, since this method
I not only saves time and fuel and
I assures absolute sterility, but alsc
I preserves the natural flavor and texI
ture, which, of course, are importII
ant considerations in contest judging

Machine Guns Are
Used By Bandits
'Will-mar, Minn., July 15.?Shooting
<lown two women with machine gun
and revolver fire, five bandits today
terrorized 26 customers and employe!
and robbed the Bank of Willmar, a
$3,000,000 institution, of $<16,000. The
rapid fire of the robbers spread panic
as they escaped.
Neither of the women was seriously
wounded. Mrs. Emil Johnson was
shot in the arm and the leg ami her
daughter, Mrs. Don Gild, -was wounded
in the leg. The sight of scores of
persona held at bay outside the bank
and the sound of shots aroused many
curious. Several business men had
firearms at hand, but the best they
could do was fire at the robbers as
they sped out of town.
Bullets crashed through windshields
of seVeral cars and shattered windows
in nearby buildings during the
fusilades. John Evans, oil station
employe, who fired several shots at
the bandits, said the driver of the
car was replaced, apparently wounded.
H. S. Paffrath also said he believed
he had wounded one of the
robbers as they dashed down the
street from the bank.
Shouting threats of death to \he
25 employe*' and customers in the
bank, - three of the bandits entered
the buliding while another, carrying
a machine gun, held a large crowd
of citizens at bay. The fifth man
sat at the steering wheel of the car.
One man watched over the customers
whose hands were upraised, -while
two ransacked the cash drawers and
the vault.
The bandits took only eight minutes
to complete the robbery.
