STRAWBERRY CROP

sides a variety of ever-bearing
strawberries that banished hard
times for him.
They bear from springtime to
frost.
“I feel fairly well,” he wrote Sat
urday to Atlanta friends. “Couldn’t
help it when my berries are doing
so much for me. They sell at
sight; don’t ev<;n know there is a
depression on.”
Mr. Lawrence is an exponent of
advanced farming methods, declar
ing that a little agricultural knowl
edge mixed with large doses of com
monsense and hard work will win
on the farm.

TWO WOMEN LIVED FOR WEEK
PAYING 20 CTS. DAILY FOR
FOOD, SAYS DR. ROBERTS
How she and another woman lived
on foods that cost 20 cents a day
for the two was told Friday by Dr.
Lydia Roberts, head of home econo
mics in the University of Chicago.
Dr. Roberts was telling visitors to
the American Home Economics con
vention how scientific planning of
meals for calories and other values
could save the family budget many
dollars.
“The two of us lived for a week
on 20 cents per day as a practical
test of an economy budget,” Dr.
Roberts said. “Every meal was ful
ly balanced and healthful, although
some of the meals, of course, were
very simple.
“Twelve of my students extend
ed a similar test for two weeks,
keeping careful check on every cal
ory. In this way we are teaching
nutrition value to children of Chica
go and to business girls, to whom
the knowledge is especially impor
tant.
“We had several one-dish meals,
but this one dish had the right a
mount of calories. This food prob
lem will teach us many fundament
als. that are essential.
“After I had tried this 20-cents
a-day diet, I had many letters from
all parts of the country—some com
mending the project, others threat
ening to send me where I shouldn’t
need any more food if I continued
to preach about the low cost of
foods. Others wanted the menus
to try them out. Now this isn’t the
bedrock either.
"If two grown women can live on
20 cents a day, then a family of
I five might be able to do it—if the
children should be quite small.”

300 Melon Car* Bring $45,000 To
Georgia
Moultrie, , Ga.—Melon shipments
from South Georgia this week,
counting those moved Saturday,
total about 300 cars, buyers here re
port. They brought from SIOO a
car for 24’s to S2OO a car for heavy
fancy melons, average from thirty
two to thirty-four pounds in weight,
according the best information
available, or a total of about $45,-
000.
While these figures are lower than
they usually are early in the ship
ping season, they leave the growers
a substantial profit, experienced
melon men assert.
Shipments will be heavier next
week. The season, however, pro
mises to be one of the shortest Geor
gia has seen in several years.
A SLEEPER
A foreigner asked: “What is a
sleeper?” He was bewildered by the
following reply: “A sleeper is one
who sleeps. A sleeper is the name
of a carriage on the railroad 'On
which the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper
is a block that holds the rails on
which the sleeper runs while the
sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the
sleeper carries the sleeper over the
sleeper until the sleeper which car
ries the sleeper jumps the sleeper
and waicerfs the sleeper in the sleep
er by striking the sleeper under the
sleeper, and there is no longer any
sleep for the sleeper who was asleep
in the sleeper over the sleeper.”
Slayer Of Mother Given Life Term
Griffin, Ga. —Mrs. Mary Joe Cole
man has been sentenced to life im

mother, Mrs. Girlie Burson, in a
quarrel over automobile riding with
men.
She was convicted here last night

Buford Flynt, 12, was the chief pro
secuting witness. He said Mrs.
Coleman hit her mother with a din
ner plate after cursing and threat
ening to kill her.
The quarrel, he added, was the
result of a scolding the mother
gave the daughter and her sister
over going out at night in automo

BUSINESS RECOVERY
Practically eve-y thinking person
in the country has evolved a plan
for business recovery. Solutions of
fered run a wide range of possibili
ties and impossibilities. They come
from many sources. They would be
bound to be varied. Many of them
also are bound to be useless. But
somewhere lies a solution of the
problem affecting the people of the
United States. Apparently no one
has ■ yet found it. At least no one
has been able to suggest thus far
a concrete plan acceptable to busi
ness leaders and others in position
of authority.
Nearly everybody agrees that one
of the necessary steps toward re
covery is to put an end to extrava
gance in the spending of public
funds.' Heavy taxes />nly serve to
make a bad situation worse. The
tax burden is harder to bear when
the national income is greatly re
duced. There has been a drop in
national income of billions of dol
lars. At the peak in 1929 national
income was carefully placed at $89,-
000,000,000. The estimate for the
present calendar year i3 $45,000,-
000,000. Yet the people are taxed
for government purposes now just
as they were before. Congress is
doingV ridiculous things just as it
did before. Extravagance is not
checked as it ought to be.
The start back to prosperity must
be made here in the United States.
No one is expecting the old world,
which really is in worse condition
than we are, to become revived a
head of the United States. In
Europe there is (extensive unem
ployment, with buying power re
duced to almost nothing so far as
foreign trade is concerned. Ameri
ca cannot look for help in any di
rection beyond her own borders. So
since the United States is the rich
est, most progressive country in the
world it seems logical to say that
ours is the initiative that must be
employed to start'a business up
turn. Others are waiting for us to
do something. And we are waiting
—for what?
We are in an eddy. Industrial
production and buying power are
both decreased in like degree. Neith
er can be increased without the
other. That eddy must be broken
up. Something has got to be done
to give strength and speed to a cur
rent that will sweep powerfully in
to a channel and carry the country’s
business forward.
Waiting for something to happen
that will get things started in the
right direction seems to be silly and
ridiculous. That is no plan at all.
And a plan is needed, one that will
give business recovery an impetus
forward. If a start were made
somewhere, somehow and it became
perceptible to the people they would
do the rest. No one possibly could
wish the depression to continue.
The people are ready to join a for
ward movement. Where are Ameii
ca’s brains? Why do "we lack a
plan? How does it happen that our
native genius is insufficient to cope
with this situation and work out a
plan that will solve the problem?
One wonders how much longer lead
ers of business, finance and govern
ment are going to let this challenge
pass.—Dawson News.
Clever Dog, Carrying Firecracker In
Mouth, Is Killed By Explosion
Canton, 111.—If Pal, a friendly
shepherd dog, had not been so clever
at tricks it would still be alive.
The dog had been trained by its
master to carry packages in its
mouth. Two youths lighted the fuse
of a three-inch cannon cracker and
thrust it in the dog’s mouth.
Pal trotted happily away, the
fuse of the cracker sputtering. A
moment later the firecracker ex
ploded, killing the dog.

THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
When cleaning your refrigerator
use one tablespoon of sal soda to
four quarts of cold water. This will
keep the drain pipe clean und free.
• • *
In selecting a soup for a meal re
member that creamed soups should
not be served when there are cream
ed vegetables or creamed fish to
follow.
• • •
Mildew may be removed from
white clothes with the following so
lution: To each quart of water
(boiling) dissolve one tablespoon of
chloride of lime. Put the clothes in
and stir them continually till the
mildew disappears; then put them
through several waters and dry in
the sun.
• * *
Remove the side shoots of toma
to plants in order to make strong
plants. When these shoots are re
moved the plants bear more fruit.
* * +
One-fourth cup of bread crumbs
and two tablespoons of water added
to each pound of meat when pre
paring hamburg steak makes a much
lighter mixture. For seasoning use
one teaspoon of salt, V* teaspoon
of pepper and % teaspoon of onion
juice to each pound of meat.
* * *
Always store baking powder in a
tightly covered container. If it is
exposed to the air some of the
strength will be lost.
* * *
To make a gelatin desstert in lay
ers, divide the jelly in three portions
and put one portion in the bottom
of the mold. When firm, decorate,
if desired, with candied cherries and
cover with a second portion, beaten
until light. When that is firm cover
with a layer of plain jelly. Mold,
chill, cut in slices and serve. The
different layers may be colored pink
and green.
* * *
Use a flatiron to polish waxed
floors. Wrap it in several thickness
es of cloth and cover with a piece
of flannel. The handle makes it
easy to use and the weight gives a
high polish quickly with little effort.
* * *
When boiling spaghetti or maca
roni, place it in a colander and then
set the colander in the pot of boil
ing salted water. The spaghetti or
macaroni never sticks to the bottom
of the colander, even if it is not
stirred.
