from the time they are clipped until
they come out a completed canned
preduct. Each filling and rapping
machine has a capacity of 120 cans |

an<f sesled, they go t# the retort* j
where the cooking is done by steam,
after which the cars are cooled and
taken to the warehouse, where they
are labeled and rased ready for ship-

department of agriculture and the
National Cannons’ association, thus
insuring the highest quality of pro
duct.
The cannery has a capacity of 150,-
000 rases and orders for goods have
already been booked and are being re
ceived from day to day. Aukl and
White, Inc., of Columbia have charge

large Eastern markets.
R. H. Pollock is in charge of the

truck and expects to begin canning
lima beans within a few weeks. A lit
tle later tomatoes will come in and the
plant is expected to be in full opera

weeks. M.
MAHARAJAS, BEGUMS

Picturesque Indian Rulers

Washington.—The recent report of

the federation of the Indian native
states and tbe British administration

western dress and customs for many
occasions, still are among the moat

states they are provided with solid

favorite elephant, and others gild
these howdahs and hang them with
gorgeous trappings and tapestry cur

’’The maharaja of Udiilpnr has
some famous dancing horses. These
are pure-bred horses, caparisoned In
gold-covered bridles and brocade sad

to the sing-song music of their Indian
accompanists. These dancing horses
are popular and may be found In the
stables of many of the Indian princes.
“Despite the enormous wealth of
the princes and other potentates of
India the masses of the people live hi
poverty. The average Individual In

estimated at less than the equivalent

“Perhaps the most novel banquet

A tiny electric train runs around Its
edge on a small track. The train con
tains seven coaches, one each for car
rying brandy, port, sweets, nuts, choco

the train by pressing a button at his

the slightest touch of a guest who
wishes to make his selection.

Because of her height Miss Calla
ghan also had tbe pilot’s seat raised
so that she can see out and had the
foot rudder bar moved up and back.
Switches and throttle control also
have been placed so that she can work
them with her fingerless members.
Just before she zoomed her ship
through a series of loops, wing overs
and spins Dycer took her aloft for
her last Instructions.
“She tried two loops,” Dycer said,
“and slipped out of both of them.
That often unnerves the average pilot,
but Miss Callaghan just nosed tbe
ship over for the third time, gave it
the gun and made a perfect loop. She
is better than many of the men stu
dents! have Instructed, bavins a Wgb

“Nothing like It,” Miss Callaghan
declared. “Why, I can pilot that plane
easier than r can drive an automobile
and look at the time I save. Also it’s
the greatest thrill In the world, and I
ought to know, because I’ve been rid
ing my jumpers in horse shows for
several fears and driven all makes of
automobiles.”
Miss Callaghan keeps s stable of
blue-ribbon winners on her estate at
Encino and takes them East each sea
son for competition In shows.
Washington.—After eight or nine
years of comparative quiet, unusual
activity is now being displayed by
two of tbe largest geysers lot Yellow
stone National park, the Giant and the
Giantess, 'according to reports recent
ly received at the Department of the
Interior.
The Giantess, which played only
once during the summer of 1928, has
played twice since the beginning of
the present calendar year, with a
22-day interval. During the second
eruption It played for over four hours.
The period during which water was
erupted lasted only about 50 minutes,
the rest of the four hours being given
to steam and enough accompanying
water to form a fine mist coming
down.
From these two eruptions it is hoped
this geyser is coming back to activity.
The average height of the Giantess’
eruptions Is from 200 to 250 feet Un
til recent years it has usually played
two or three times a season.
The Giant geyser, which used to
play every eight or ten days, during
the last few years extended the time
between eruptions to a month or more
and last summer and the year before
only played at night when tourists
were not able to see It It also has
played twice so far this year, at one
time throwing water to a height of
180 to 200 feet for a period of C2 min
utes. Sometimes the Giant throws its
water as high as 250 feet Until the
advent of the new geyser In tbe park
the Giant haa been classed as tbe
greatest existing geyser since the old
Excelsior, which played out In 1890.
The new geyser, which as yet has
not been given a special name, sud
denly broke out last July. It appears
to have continued activity without In
terruption through the winter, al
though close observations have bern
Impracticable under winter conditions.
Its crater, which reaemblea that of the
old Excelsior, measures 90 by 140 feet.
Its tube rosy be measured to a depth
of 74 feet below tbe surface, one foot
deeper than that of tbe Giant. Dur
ing the latter part of the past sum
mer It erupted once In every ten to
fourteen and one-half hoars, the pe
riod of eruption lasting from lour to
six hours. It baa been estimated that
about 700.000 gallons of water are
thrown out In one of Us four snd ono-
balf-hour eruptions.
Years
of service in
Model T Fords
THE Model T was so strongly and sturdily built that it
fo still rendering reliable, economical service to motor
ists in every section ’of the country. Millions of these
cars can he put in shape for two, three and five more
years of use at very small cost.
So that you may have this work done economically
and satisfactorily, the Ford Motor Company is still de
voting a considerable section of its plants to the manu
facture of Model T parts. It will continue to do so as
long as they are needed by Model T owners. The follow
ing list gives the approximate labor charges for recon
ditioning the Model T Ford:—

brush and vibrator points if necessary) .- - - $1.00

Theaa prices are approximate and are for labor only,
because the need and number of new parts depend on
the condition of each car. The charge for these parts
is lew, however, because of the established Ford policy
of manufacturing and selling at a small margin of profit*
