HOME CANNED GOODS
FOR THE MARKET.
Notice to The Members of The
Barrow County Canning Club.
• ..
Miss Pittman, having resigned and
accepted wt rk in Athens, Miss Dow
dell has secured the services of Mrs.
Anna FLU* Sheats for the summer
and she will have Mb-s Eldona Oli
ver to assist her and will begin at
once with canniDg work in the coun
ty.
The first work will be to hold pub
lic canning demonstrations at some
convenient place for the members of
each club to attend. After the round
of public demonstrations Mrs. Sheats
will visit the girls in their homes
and assist in the canning work. In
this connection, it may be well to
say that, under this system as is
taught by the teachers in this work,
the canned.goeds may be marketed at
a much better advantage. Most any
woman in the county can can fruits
and vegetables for the family use,
hut to can them properly for the
market so they will bring the highest
market prices are the points to be
gained by studying the work as taught
by these Home Economics teachers.
Airs. Sheats will have with her
Miss Eldona Oliver, who is a gradu
ate from the State Normal School,
and wlio has had for several years
experience in the work. We hope
that it will prove of much benefit to
the girls and housewives of the coun
ty. G. W. W.
Capt Mathews Tells of Camp Life.
Capt. W. L. Mathewis obtained a
furlough last week and came home
to spend a few days. The things
wti'ii he told about the camp in Ma
con were interesting and instructive.
He spoke especially of the high stand
and of sanitary conditions which ex
ists in every quarter. Said everything
Ik kept as neat and clean as a hos
pit 1 war’.
There are about foryt-five hun
dred soldier-boys encamped and there
is a kitchen for every one hundred
men. There is plenty of food and it
is healthful and nutritious.
The daily routine of meals, w'ork,
sleeping hours, etc., doesn!t vary five
minutes from day to day. Every
thing is kept going as regularly as
clock work. The entire camp covers
an era of approximately eighty acres
and holds within its bounds about fif
teen hundred tents.
All the.soldiers have to work some
but net extremely hard. They are as
a whole cheerful and willing each to
do his own part.
Since going to Camp at Macon,
Cspt. Mathejvs has been.mad Sanitary
Inspector cf the camp, which is an
honor any officer should be proud
of.
