Harmonica* Banned A* Aid* I o Jail
Breaker* In Georgia
Savannah, Ga.—Harmonica play
ing is taboo in the Chatham county
jail.
According to W. M. Kidwell, the
head jailer, harmonica strains have
been employed by prisoners to pre
vent the guard from hearing them
as they sawed the bars preparatory
to an escape.
Kidwell has found out another
thing: Prisoners do not saw bars at
night when they want to get out of
jail. .Tails are too still at night for
such a pastime, but in the daytime
and especially during the religious
services the sawing can be done with
out detection. A lustily sung hymn
drown the noise of the saw as well
as drawing the attention of the
guards.

A relief organization, which suc
ceeded in collecting considerable
funds last year, has started another
big campaign for money. Schmel
ing was one of the first to respond.
Max Schmeling received $160,138
as his share of the receipts in his

Divorced Pair To Leave Money Tc
Each Other
Hollywood.—A singular post di
vorce financial agreement, especially
unique to Hollywood, exists between
Kathleen Williams and Charles Ey
ton.
And the story books’ well known
conclusion, “they lived happily ever
after,” is peculiarly applicable to
them.
Miss Williams, one of the earliest
motion picture stars, and Eyton, re
tired studio executive, have wills fa
voring each other. Although they
huve been divorced since January of
this year Miss Williams and her ex
husband see each other as often as
two or three times a week.
“The agreement or trusts were
made before we separated,” Miss
Williams said. “1 have no close rela
tives and neither has Charles. So
we decided to leave our money to
each other. Our separation was
due solely to incompatibility.”
Miss Williams is known in Holly
wood as a shrewd business woman,
who saved most of the thousands of
dollars she earned.

Baptist Head See* Dry South In '32
New York.—Dr. W. J. McGlothlin,
president of the Southern Baptist
convention, said Monday that nomi
nation of a “wet” candidate would
split the Democratic party of the
south in the next presidential cam
paign.
“In my judgment,” he said, “the
south will support prohibition vigor
ously, perhaps just as vigorously as
in the last campaign. Nomination of
a wet candidate by the Democrats
would have the effect of splitting the
party in the south just as it did in
the last campaign.”

Dear Club Members and Women
of Jackson County: 1 used to be
one of you ns a teacher in yotir
county, Jackson. 1 wish to compli
ment you on the very creditable ex
hibit you had at the Southeastern
Fair.
On Tuesday, October flth, the
judging was done by three excellent,
competent women, and your county
won second prize on county display;
and to my great surprise, and for
reasons unknown to me, your prize
tags were changed from second to
sixth prize. Being curious to know
why dear old Jackson had to receive
such a blow, I asked your faithful
agent, Mrs. Torbert, and behold, she
didn’t know. I asked her why were
the exhibits judged the second time,
and she din’t even know that. Of
course, I felt a little indignant over
it, but she being a worker for peace,
accepted the last decision. Though
your honors were taken from you, it
gave me great pleasure to know you
were given second honors by the
ftrr.t three judges. Don’t let that
blow stunt or slow you in your club
work. Just remember, dear old
•Jackson county has always brought
away more clean cash than the eight
or ten other counties competing;
even at all times she did not win
first prize.
Be not discouraged, work the hard
er, for you have a woman for your
leader who doesn’t grow discouraged
on account of defeats. Stand by her,
pull with her, follow after her, and
she will lead you to victory. The
battle is not to the swift, nor to the
strong, but he that endurcth to the
end.
Allow me to compliment your part
time farm agent, E. L. Cooper, who
also had a creditable display of
corn, meat, eggs, chickens, and po
tatoes, from Jackson, Clark and
Oconee counties. The 23 or more
hams and shoulders on display had
tied to them 19 or more ribbons.
This showed that the farmers of our
county still have something in their
corn cribs and smoke-houses. Boost
your agents, and they will boost your
county.
It is true, I am teaching in another
county, but I still love Jackson and
heir demonstration agent, who in
spired me to accomplish the work I
have done in Madison county, if I
have done anything worth while.

LIVE-AT-HOME PROGRAM
AIDS NEGRO FARMERS
(By E. L. Cooper, Negro Agriculture
Agent)
Negro farmers of Clarke, Jackson,
and Oconee counties are beginning
to reap the profits of the live-at
home campaign that was launched in
the early spring. Of the 168 farm
ers that were visited during the last
three weeks 143 of them had on
hand a sufficient quantity of corn,
sweet potatoes, syrup, hay, preserv
ed fruits and vegetables, and other
food and feeds to fully supply their
needs during the coming winter.
Seventeen farmers also had a sur
plus of 600 gallons of syrup and 300
bushels of sweet potatoes for mar
ket. Despite the drought they had
carefully cropped, planting and re
plainting selected spots, and kept the
home garden alive. One hundred
and seventeen of these farmers had
made arrangements for sowing an
aggregate of 526 acres to oats,
wheat, and rye in order to ensure
themselves against buying feed next
spring.
To show what is being done in
this territory an exhibition of this
year’s harvest and last winter’s cured
meat was made at the Southeastern
Fair that was held in Atlanta last
week. Twenty country-cured and
hickory smoked hams and 500 ears
of selected corn made up the bulk of
this exhibit. There were $81.50 in
prizes awarded for the quality of
these products. The cured meat ex
hibit ranked second for the state
being surpassed only by Peach coun
ty, a county that produces all meat
needed for local consumption. The
corn ranked third for the state; 215
pieces of meat, 7,440 ears of corn,
120 dozens of selected eggs, and
twenty-one pens of live-poultry were
put on display by Negro farmers of
Georgia.

WE HOPEFUL CRACKERS
(From Tifton Gazette)
We heard a fellow say one time
that these Georgia crackers are the
most hopeful folks In the world —
| that they just live on hope. They
make a crop, sell it at a loss, hope
they will do better next year and
make another crop to sell at a loss,
Now and then they make a profitable
crop, hut it takes all the profits from
it to pay up interest, back taxes and
old accounts, and they don't get a
hcad, because they make another
series of crops to sell at a loss, and
keep on living and hoping but never
getting anywhere except to the
grave.
Another well informed man says
that the only way the Georgia farm
er as a whole ever will become pros
perous is for conditions to reach
j such a point that he can’t buy a
| thing on credit and can’t borrow
, money anywhere, and will have to
make a living on the farm to sell
every time he wants to buy anything.
It begins to look like this theory is
going to get a good test next year.
Wealth Left By Morrow 20 Million,
Paper Say*
New York.—The American, quot
ing “an informed source,” says the
late Senator Dwight W. Morrow, of
New Jersey, left an estate of "close
to $20,000,000.”
Only half of the total, according
to the American, is subject to in
heritance taxes, the rest of the for
tune being in the form of accounts
carried in the names of members of
his family and others. These ac
counts, estimated at $10,000,000, are
technically not part of the estate.
The newspaper understands Mrs.
Morrow is named sole executor, and
to her will go a life interest in the
estate after bequests to friends, ser
vants and charities are taken out.

Perhaps—just one more perhaps—
we can help you to solve this prob
lem by giving you some entirely new
recipes, recently evolved by a gradu
ate dietitian, for servirfg Hawaiian
pineapple in different delectable
dishes. So here goes:
Pineapple Tapioca Delight : Press
the syrup from the crushed pineapple
in a No. 2 can, add one-half cup
orange juice to it, and bring to boil
ing. Add one-fourth cup minute
tapioca, one-third cup sugar and a
few grains of salt, and cook in a
double boiler until transparent and
thick. Soften two teaspoons gelatin
in two tablespoons water, and dis

FOR HEALTH INSURANCE
Mm v
NINE days out of ten, the
housewife of continental Eu
rope serves her family with a
fruit dessert. It may be only a
simple compote served with crisp
cookies, or it may be nothing more
elaborate than thick jam accom
panied by heavy cream, but fruit
in some form is almost certain to
appear on her table once or twice
a day. Even pretentious hotels
and restaurants abroad follow
this custom, and regale their
guests with delicious fruit des
serts. Foreign menus always in
clude fruits.
Indeed, there is no better way
of rounding out a dinner or
luncheon than by the inclusion of
a juicy fruit dainty. Jaded ap
petites respond quickly to cool,
tart flavors, and fruits are impor
tant as sources of mineral ele
ments and vitamins.
Everyone, young and old, needs
plenty of fruit in the summer
time. It is health insurance of
the best kind.
Try Something New
If your family is tired of the
old standbys, try something new.
There are loganberries, for in
stance, from the green wooded
hills of the State of Washington.
These purple berries have a dis

juice makes a refreshing drink on
scorching summer days. And a
loganberry shortcake makes a
gala occasion of any dinner.

cream. Serves eight liberally.

spoonfuls of strawberries and
crushed pineapple from a No. 2 can.
Put on upper crust upside down,
butter well, and again put on alter
nate spoonfuls of the two fruits. Top
with whipped cream. When straw
berries are out of season use the
canned berries with less sugar. This
recipe serves eight.
A Nice Rice Dessert
Pineapple Rice Patties : Soak one
tablespoon gelatin in two tablespoons
cold water, then bring to boiling
half the syrup (about half a cup)
from a No. 2]/ 2 can sliced Hawaiian
pineapple, and dissolve the gelatin in
it. Add one cup cooked rice, one
fourth cup sugar, a few grains of
salt and one teaspoon vanilla, and
cool. Fold in one cup beaten cream,

about the size of the pineapple slices

when cold, into flat patties with the
hands, and let set. <
Meanwhile, to the rest of the
pineapple syrup add one-half cup
water and one-half cup sugar, boil
a few minutes, add the pineapple
slices and cook gently until they are

There are fruit combinations,
too, that you may never have
thought of. A pear and cranberry
salad is colorful and gay. Served
on dainty plates with lace paper
doilies, it will tempt the most
capricious summer appetite. Fruit
sherbets are another easy and ex
cellent dessert for hot days. They
are not hard to make, and they
add a festive air to any meal.
