"It is poor policy in lionse canning
to use rubber jar rings a seconi
year", declares Miss Anna B. Cowles
of East Lansing, state leader of girls'
canning clubs. New rubbers of load
quality ,are absolutely essential fer
consistent success in canning. Me'al
tops should also be in-pectod carefully, as they must fit perfectly.
Even a new rubber is r.ot nece .sa;*-
ily a good one, for there are rn my
rubbers of poor grade on the market
today. Miss Cowles gives the following tests for an acceptable rubber
ring:
1. A rubber should stand a reasonable amount oE stretching and pulling
without breaking and sh:.u*d always
return to its original -bane.
2. A good rubber will not cracker
show results after being pinched between the thumb and foreuinger.
3. For pint and quart jars a rubber should be 5-16 of an inch wide,
1-12 of: an inch thick, and have an ii.-
side diameter of 2% inches.
4. Color is no index of qualitv.
Good rings can be red, white or blaclr.
Full information on canning subjects may be had by writing to Miss
Anna B. Cowles, East Lansing.

LIMBRIGHT & SOI
The Observer is in receipt of tl-Q
following letter from Congressman
Michener of the second district, iu
reference to travel pay for soidie>r:-i
and sailors:
In" an act of Congress approved
February 28, 1919, it is provided that:
'•Enlisted men honorably diSr
charged from tho army nnd
navy, or marine corps since. Nov.
11, 191S, shall receive five cent?;
per mile from the place of his
discharge to his actual bsna iitie
home or rrgider.ee, or original
muster into Ihe service, at his.option."
Due to controversy over the intent,
of the law, many soldi.rs a .d sail r*
have received only three and -on.o-hnlf
cents, or have been paid only topl*'ei
of muster in. All such claims the
"War Department is now prtpired lo
adjust. To secure such settl ment,
the soldier must send iu his discharge
paper or a copy thereof ce.t'fl.d by
the nearest recruiting cfiieer ,and a
sworn application.
Any soldier in my district desiring
to present claim m;;y secure the nec-
esary blanks at the office of the Saline Observer, and after it is properly
filled out may send it, toge'her with
his discharge papers, to me at the address given below and I will presnt
them to the "War Department and return the discharge papers with check.
No affidavit is required by the Navy
Department. Simply send me your
discharge papers.
I am indebted to this newspaper for
the generous space in bringing tliis
matter to the attention of the soldiers
and sailors.

THE FAITHFUL FEW.
When the meetin's called to order
And you look around the room,
You're sure to see some faces
j    That from out the shadows loom;
1 They are always at the meeting,
!    And stay until it's through;
Tiie ones that I would mention
Are the always faithful few.
Ihey fill the vacant offices
As they're always on the spot,
No matter what the weather
Thaugh it may be awful hot,
ft may be damp and rainy.
But they are tried and true—
I he ones that you rely upon
Are the always faithful few.
There's a lot of worthy members
Who will come when in the mood,
When everythin's convenient,
They can do a little good.
They're a factor in the Order
And are necessary, too,
But the ones who never fail us
Are the always faithful few.
If it were not,for the^e faithful,
Whose shoulders at the wheel
ileep the Order moving forward
Without a halt or reel,
Yi'hat would be the fate of others
Who claim,so much to do?
Phoy surely would go under
But for the faithful few.

They point out that the stamps aid
thrift habits; that they are a first-
class investment; that they start their
purchasers on the right road to financial carefulness and independence,
and that they are the handiest and
safest way to save money.

This makes it essential that farmers,
millers, and grain dealers all have a
knowledge of the government grades.

W. S. S. SOCIETIES BIG HOPE
IN MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN
War Savings societies are the methods Michigan is using to sell this year's
series of War Savings stamps.
The chief difference between them
and all previous organizations is that
membership is entirely voluntary. They
will be formed in factories, shops,
stores, lodges, churches, etc. Anyone
who does not wish to join will not Le
urged to.
Those who do join will pledge themselves to live thriftily in 1010, to save
systematically what money they can.
and to buy War Savings stamps
with it.
They will not be asked to pledge any
certain sum or quota. They will determine themselves what they can do.,
and they will pletlce that.
The War Savin-.- s-ueietic-s will be
useful because tbey will j-jiread the
gospel of thrift, becnu: e they will give
an interchange of id- :*s, nnd because
they will make thrift ";he thing to do."
Many Americans mv null a little bit
ashamed that they should do such an
undignified thins as to save 2.". cents.
There is too much vanity of ilris sort
and not enough ho:ve sense in most of
us. War prices have made ihrif t necessary in many homes, * and ii will be
a national blessing if iiu* hahit is retained permanently.

Who Should Not Advertise.
Advertising is the education of the
public as to who you are, where you
are and what you have to offer in the
way of skill, talent or atmmodity.
The only man who should net advertise is the man who has nothing to
offer the world in the way of commodity or service.—Elbert Hubbard.
THE AMERICAN PLCDGI
Liberty is a blessing—banc
will avoid the slavery of c;
less living.
Being in debt is slavery,
less the debt carries with it
means of repayment.
All wastes of money, food, materials, time and strength are
un-American because they destroy liberty and the pursuit ef
happiness.
All saving insures independence and self-respect, as the reward of present self-denial.
Courage in saving, self-control
in spending, foresight, patience
and industry: These are the
best safeguards of liberty and
tranquility.
