PLENTY OF AMUNITION IS
PROVIDED TO BOYS IN SICILY
The Aiiniy Ordnance production
raite for artillery ammunition to-
day is approximately 18,000,000
rounds a month, compared with
2,700,000 rounds a month in 1918.
The number of Army Ordan.ce
machine guns now being produced
each month is more than triple the
monthly maximum of 22,000 for
machine guns of corresponding
caliber produced in this country
for the United States and the Al-
lies in 1918.
Approximately 1,778,000,000
rounds of small artrus ammunition
are now being produced each
month, whereas the monthly rate
reached in 1918 was ony 278,000,-
000 rounds.
WAR BALLOTS FOR ARMY
PLENTY OF ROUGE FOR
[WAR PLAINT WORKERS
Women Ordnance workers at
Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia
are assignd 350 pounds of rouge
a year. Buit this rouge, enough to
supply bloom to the cheeks of 11,-
000 women for an entire year, is
used in polishing processes in the
optical division.
Blank forms are available to all
officers and enlisted men of the
Army 'to enable them to apply for
war ballots for elections to be held
this year, the War Department re-
ports. Public Law 712 requires
these forms to be available in
years when officers of the Nation-
al Government are elected. The
forms will also enalble legally qul-
ified soldier voters to participate
in state elections.

SCALE OF AGRICULTURAL
PAYMENT RATES
Thousands of Americans, in ad-
dition to paying taxes and invest-
ing in war (bonds, have given sev-
eral million dollars in cash and
many other gifts to the govern-
ment. The Treasury to date has
completed more than 20,000 trans-
actions in connection with contri-
butions ranging, in cash, from one
cent t-o several hundred thousand
dollars, ann in gifts from tinfoil to
Rolls Royces. Cash donations total
about $4,432,000.
A revised scale for payments to
farmers under the 1943 Agricul-
tral Conservation Program has
ben set up by WFA to adjust a-
vailable funds to the increased
numjber of eligible farmers. The
revised rates* (with rbhe former
rates in parentheses) are: cotton,
one cent per pound (1.1 cents);
corn, 3 icents per bushel (3.6 cts);
and wheat, 8.5 cents per bushel
(9.2 c-itsj. Rates remain unchanged
for rice and tobacco.
RAILWAY CARLOADINGS
■Santa Fe Railway System car-
loadings for the Aveek ending Aug.
14 were 21,714 compared with 22,-
569 for the same Aveek last year.
Cars re>oeived from connections
totaled 11,859 compared Avith 11,-

Depends on Right Light Today
Today's children have strenuous years ahead of them. They
must be healthy and strong to take over the big American job.
So don't handicap them with poor lighting. Keen eyesight to-
morrow depend? on right light today.
In your home tonight, check over your lighting needs. See
that your children's study lamp provides enough light so there
will be no eyestrain. Make certain that all lamp bulbs are
shielded to prevent eye irritation an<J fatigue.
Good health and particularly good eyesight is very im-
portant these days .... and certainly for the trying days to
come.
We will be glad to help you with your home lighting

SOME VICTORY RULES FOR
CANNING VICTORY VEGETABLES
,
;V

Canning without rules is like driving in a strange country without a
road map—one is likely to go in the wrong direction. The wrong direction
in canning leads to spoiled food—loss of canned food through spoilage is de-
plorable and unnecessary in time of peace, and inexcusable in time of war.
Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company,
gives the following sure-fire rule for <$>-
successful home-canning:
1. Use jars intended for home-
canning. Every one of them has a
name lettered on the side.
2. Examine every jar to make
sure that it is in good condition.
Give special attention to the top
edges of Mason jars. Most of them
must be sealed with glass top seal
closures or two-piece metal vacuum
seals, because the zinc that used to
go into the one-piece Mason caps
has gone to the battle front. The
glass top and vacuum seals can take
the, zinc cap’s place on the home
front only when used on jars with
perfect top edges.
3. Do not stretch rubbers to test.
4. Wash and rinse jars, lids and
rubbers. Then cover jars, zinc caps,
and glass lids with lukewarm water,
heat to boiling, and keep hot. Jars
and lids to be used for old-fashioned
open-kettle canning must be boiled
20 to 30 minutes. Wash rubbers
and vacuum-seal lids, drop into boil-
ing water, and keep hot until needed
if to be used for processing (cooking
food in jars). They must be tailed to
sterilize for open-kettle canning.
5. Get canners and jars ready be-
fore starting to prepare vegetables.
6. Use vegetables that are fresh
from the garden. The alien enemies,
mould, yeast and bacteria, stand
ready to sabotage any and all vege-
tables left standing over night or
all through a long, hot morning.
7. Be sure that everything to be
canned is at the right stage for
canning. Shelled beans and peas
should be young and tender—a few
over-size or over-mature ones can
cause the loss of the whole batch.
The pods of string beans should be
crisp and meaty—corn in full milk
stage—and tomatoes red-ripe, firm,
and sound. Wash all fruits and vege-
tables before breaking the skins.
8. Hot pack all vegetables except
tomatoes. Hot pack means to cook
the food a few minutes, then pour it
into hot jars for processing. This is
also the best way to can most fruits.
9. Fill no more jars at a time than
your canner will hold.
10. Leave ample head space and
plenty of room for liquid to circulate
between pieces of food when filling
jars for processing.
11. Tighten metal bands on two-
piece metal vacuum seal caps be-
fore processing. Do not tighten
again.
12. Partly seal for processing, all
jars on which a jar rubber is used.
13. Place jars in the canner imme-
diately after packing and process
the time called for in the recipe.
Remember, time guessing has no
place in canning.
14. Take jars out of canner as
promptly as possible aft.er the proc-
essing time is up and complete the
seal on all that are partly sealed
for processing (see Rule 12).
15. Set hot jars as far apart as
possible so they will cool quickly,
but do not place in a draft.
16. Be sure every jar of canned
food is sealed before it is put away.
a. Take the bands off glass top
seals after the jars have stood over
night and test the seal by pulling
gently on lid with finger tips. Don’t
put the bands back on the jars.
b. Remove bands from vacuum
seals 12 or 15 hours after canning
and test the seal by pressing on the
lid with the finger. If tightly sealed,
there will be no “give” to the lid.
Don’t put the bands back on the
jars.
c. - One-piece zinc caps are drawn
down flat when sealed. Do not turn
Mason jars upside down—this rule
applies when using glass top seals,
vacuum seals, and zinc caps.
d. Test “lightning” jars after they
are cold by holding them upside
down and examining for leaks.
17. Be finicky when it comes to
cleanliness. Get rid of house flies.
Remember, they prefer food to foot
tub for foot washing.
18. Don’t ask your neighbor how
to can. She may not be as up-to-
date as she thinks she is. It is far
better to get a good recipe book
and follow directions to the letter.
As good a one as can be bought
costs only a dime.
RULE ANNOUNCED
FOR POULTRY TRUCKERS
Truckers hauling poultry must
post within their trucks the name
and address of the person to whom
it is 'being shipped, the place from
which the items were shipped,
their quantties, types, grades and
weight classes, and the number of
head of each, the OPA has ruled.
GLASS JARS FOR
VICTORY CANNING
&&&&&&CrX*

lil§i
Wmm
Plan to can every extra vegetable from your Victory garden and don t
worry if your dealer hasn’t jars with the kinds of caps you have been
accustomed to using. Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball
Brothers Company, tells us that very few of the all-time favorite zinc caps
are left on the home front because zinc is needed on the battle front, but
all Mason jars (any brand) with<§>
smooth, even top edges can be
sealed with glass top seal or two-
piece metal vacuum seal closures.
Glass top seals consist of glass lid,
rubber ring, and metal screw band.
The rubber is placed around the pro-
jection on the bottom of the lid, then
lid with rubber is placed so that
the rubber rests on top of the jar.
The bands are screwed down tight,
then loosened slightly before the jars
are put into a canner for processing
and screwed tight immediately after
the jars are removed from the can-
ner. A/ter the jars have stood twelve
or fifteen hours, the bands are re-
moved and used to seal more jars
with glass lids and rubbers, thus
making a little metal go a long way.
That’s one reason Government offi-
cals smile upon home canners who
use glass top seals.
Another good top seal for Mason
jars is the two-piece metal cap,
called vacuum seal. The lid is
slightly dome shaped, lined with
white enamel and has a rubber seal-
ing compound around the outer edge
to take the place of a regular jar
ring—(don’t let anybody fool you—
all sealing compounds contain rub-
ber). If one is using old-fashioned
open kettle (never use this method
for canning vegetables), the lids
are boiled a few minutes to sterilize,
but need only to be dropped into
boiling water and kept hot if the
jars of food are to be placed in a
canner for processing. After the lid
is'placed on the jar, the metal band
is screwed tight once for all. Re-
tightening the band after the jars
are taken out of the canner is likely
to prevent sealing. The bands are
removed from the jars twelve or fif-
teen hours after the canning is done
and used to seal more lids on other
jars. Jars sealed with two-piece
metal caps are suitable for all types
of canning except oven—a tightly
sealed jar is likely to break when
subjected to the dry heat of an oven.
Bands for glass top seal and vac-
uum seal caps are not interchange-
able because a deeper band is need-
ed for the glass lids, but the two
have one thing in common. Neither
is rust-proof. That’s because of th*
zinc shortage, but a quick wiping
after each use with a cloth mois-
tened with paraffin will prevent se-
rious rusting. It will save time and
trouble too, if a cloth is prepared
ahead of time and kept in one of
those glass jars that can’t be used
for home-canning. Then when the
cloth is needed, set the jar in a pan
of warm water until the paraffin
softens.
The “lightning” jar (so called be-
cause it is quickest to seal) requires
very little metal and not too much
rubber for sealing. Several manu-
facturers make this type jar. It
seals with a glass lid and rubber
held in place with wire bails. The
wires used on one nationally known
brand are of heat-treated, high-ten-
sion, stretch-proof, spring steel. This
is the ideal jar for home canning
any year because it is so easy to
seal. The rubber is placed on the
sealing surface or shoulder, the lid
comes next, then the upper bail wire
is pushed up until it rests in the
groove in the top of the lid. Pay no
attention to the lower wire, it takes
care of itself until after the jars are
removed from the canner—then it is
pushed down against the side of the
jar and that’s all there is to sealing
it.
When buying jars, choose pints for
peas, corn, and shelled beans—and
quarts for all other vegetables. Half-
pint sizes aren’t being made, and
half-gallons are unsuitable for can-
ning vegetables because it takes too
long for heat to reach the center of
♦he jar.
