club meeting. Taught games and
play*. A series of short course

women will be ready for theirs be
fore the time comes for the 4-H

The first short course was held
last Saturday at Union Baptist In
stitute, with 40 girl* and boys pres
ent. This short course was conduct
ed by Miss C. Weems and others.
All club members came dressed in
their uniform* ready for work. We
opened at 10 o’clock, and closed at
five, and every one seemed to enjoy
working to finish the program of
work planned for them to do, and
much was accomplished.

The rural schools are all closed,
and I am asking that parents of
children in each community to
please, during the busy farming
season, give your boys and girls
time to work on their individual pro
jects, and to attend their club meet
ings nt least once each month. Take
time to beautify your homes and
home surroundings. Above all, do
not neglect your gardens and poul
try, for farm and home work are
closely related.
I will tell you what I saw last
Monday on making a survey of Dry ,
Pond community to see if I could
organize anew Adult Club in that
community, hoping that the story
will encourage others to utilize
things that they think of no service,
and quit saying “I can’t.” Stop
crying over the depression, and go
to work. On making my survey, I
saw a colored girl working near a
very attractive home, surrounded
with a beautiful lawn and gorgeous
flowers. I asked the girl to come
near for a few minutes, that I may
inquire of the number of colored
families 1 could call to see. While
talking with the girl, a white lady
heard our conversation,* and asked
me to come and inspect her garden,
and tell her my plan or method of
combatting insects on beans. I
found that this lady was the owner
of the beautiful home and flowers I
had been admiring. I went into her
garden, and 1 was surprised to see
such a large garden, so much so,
until I had to ask if it was a truck
garden, and how many did she have
in family. The reply was, my fami
ly is small, and it is not a truck
garden, but a pantry garden, stating
she kept her pantry filled with various
kinds of vegetables for her fami
ly and friends the year round. I
counted 20 different varieties of
vegetables; sound hard head cab
bage, string beans, beets and lettuce
ready for home use, as well as 7
varieties of beautiful flowers for a
back ground. I asked to see her
flowers, and the first thing that at
tracted my attention was an old
house in the rear yrhich was once
used as a servants house, surrounded
•with flowers and tall lillies, which
formed a back ground and partially
hid the view of the old house, and i
saved it from being torn down, as
it was used for other purposes. Next
1 saw that she had used a disk plow
share to mnke a bird bath. To my ,
surprise, I saw an odd looking !
flower vase made, I thought, of con
crete, but after a closer inspection,
1 found out that it was made from
parts of an old heater, which I would
not have believed such a thing could
be done if I had not seen the door
of the heater. It was painted con
crete color, to carry out the color
scheme with the outside things made
to beautify the lawn.
Then I asked for her name, and I
found that this lady was Mrs.. Carl
Porter. I hope those who read this
true story will be inspired to make
home life more attractive by utiliz
ing things around them, and stop
crying hard times, and go to work.
I thank the teachers for the help
given me during the session to keep
the club spirit alive in the various
communities. I know I will miss
your presence when making my
rounds to the various communities,
as well as your help. I wish for all
of you a pleasant and profitable va
cation, and will expect your contiu
ed co-operation when you return in
the fall.
Yours for service,
Mattie R. Torbert, H. D. A.,
For Colored People.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
MONTENE ANGLAN
On May 11th, just a* the light of
day was dawning, a light disappear
ed from our home that had been
shinning in our home for nearly 27
years. It ceased to shine when God,
in His infinite wisdom and love, call
ed Montenc home. She was a sweet
and obedient daughter, a loving sis
ter, and a friend to all. One thing
so admirable in her character, was
her love for me. She never seemed
happier than when she could do
something for mamma.
At the age of thirteen she was
converted and joined the Methodist
church, and was ever a loyal member.
For some time before she was taken
sick she talked much about dying,
and spq)<e of it in such a sensible
way, just as one planning to go on
a journey. She told us how sne
wanted everything fixed, and how
she wanted to be dressed when God
should see fit to call her. She said
she wanted to be dressed just like
rhe would dress to go some where.
And as I think of her now as going
some where, she has taken her last
journey. And thanks be to God, she
has gone home where there will be
np more pain, no more sorrow, but
joy and happiness forever and ever.
Montcne was sick only a short
time, but oh, how patiently she bore
her suffering. She told use she
would never be well again, but she
paid it was all right, she was ready
for the journey.
She was spared only a few years,
but as I think of her life, I don’t
think of it as a life cut short, but as
a life complete and well spent.
Why these things have to be, 1
can’t understand j but some day we
will know. I am praying that we, as
a family may be submissive to the
will of God, and that her going may
be the means of leading lost souls to
Jesus. And as I think of her, this
sweet, solemn thought comes to me
that “I am nearer home today than
I have ever been before; nearer my
Father’s house, where the many
mansions be; nearer the great white
throne; nearer the crystal sea,” be
cause my Darling Montene is there.
And my prayer is that we may
humbly bow to the will of God, and
be enabled to say “Choose thine own
way, God,” and not say good bye to
Montene. But in some brighter
clime, and in God’s own appointed
time, say good morning.
Her Mother.
Some of the papers are rallying to
Tom Linder, Commissioner of Agri
culture, who jeered on all sides for
advocating that Georgia secede from
the union. The defending papers
say it was just a missuse of words on
Tom’s part. That Tom meant suc
ceed instead of secede. Being re
minded of His advice to the famiers
to use the torch in their pine forests
we are not surprised that our agri
culal commissioner would be guilty
of getting his words mixed. —Butler

COTTON CLOTH
IMPORTS PAY
HIGH DUTIES
Japanese cotton cloth imports Into
the United States during the month
of January paid duties of 14.2 cents
per pound, according to figures com
piled by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics of the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Of this amount, 3.7 cent* per
pound was the ad valorem duty on
cotton cloth for January imports.
The remainder, 5.6 cent* per pound,
was the compensatory tax which is
levied to offset the processing tax
paid by domestic manufacturers.
The processing tax applies only to
cotton used to make products sold
in the United States, and competing
cotton products, imported from for
eign countries, must pay the com
pensatory tax equivalent to the pro
cessing tax, in addition to the normal
tariff duty imposed on imports of
cotton cloth, it is pq*nted out by Cul
ly A. Cobb, director of the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration’s
cotton division. Processing taxes on
exports of cotton cfoth are refunded.
An analysis of cotton cloth im
ports from Japan during January,
1935, indicates that the following
items were included in their cost be
fore they could be put on United
States markets:
Average invoice value at point of
foreign departure, 31.7 cents per
pound of cloth; average import
duty, 8.7 cents per pound of cloth;
compensating tax levied to offset
processing tax, 5.5 cents per pound
which is equal to the rate of 4.2
cents per pound on raw cotton. To
these costs must be added ocean
shipping charges, insurance, and
handling charges.
There is some chap on the Bryan
side of the bridge crossing the Ogee
chee river, at the Chatham county
line, that’s a follower of Tom Linder.
He’s already seceded and is flying
the Confederate flag.— Savannah

: . Kidneys^
Be Sure They Properly
Cleanse the Blood
WOUR kidneys are constantly filter-
I ing waste matter from the blood
stream. But kidneys sometimes lag in
their work—do not act as nature in
tended—fail to remove impurities that
poison the system when retained.
Then you may suffer nagging back
ache, dizziness, scanty or too frequent
urination, getting up at night, swollen
limbs; feel nervous, miserable
all upset.

Can You Find an Old-
Fashioned Grandmother loday?
OLD-F ASHIONED grand
mothers are as obsolete as
hansom cabs. You can’t find
a lace cap on a white head any
more than you can find a han
som cab on an avenue. Grandma
today Is as trig and as trim as
granddaughter and probably a bet
ter dancer. And together with this
passing of grandmothers has come
the passing of the necessity for
knowing many of the things she
knew.
"Grandma” knew a lot of things
about cooking, for instance, that it
is unnecessary to know now. But
there are also lots of things today
that you should know that “grand
ma” never heard of. Are you
keeping abreast, for instance, of
all the new foods and combina
tions of foods that are now being
put In cans?
Are You In a Rut?
Canned foods have for so long
been an Integral part of the Amer
ican diet that there are sure to be
some of them which you and every
other housewife use habitually.
But that last word “habitually” is
the catch. No doubt the foods you
use have freed you from a large
amount of kitchen drudgery, but
are you free enough? There are
a number of canned foods of fairly
recent origin which will emanci
pate you still further.
Canned cream, for instance.
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
o
To sell a product an advertiser must enter the home.
He must make that personal contact which is so vital in
the sales field. If he or his agents were to call upon every
family in a community he would be confronted with a
tedious, disagreeable, thankless and impossible task.
Housewives are too prone to chase the salesman away
with the dust which setales on the back porch.
The newspaper does away with this roundabout task.
It reaches the home. It is read. The advertiser who
wishes his product to become known is fully aware of
the advantages of the daily and weekly newspaper.
Though the advertiser may be a stranger to the po
tential consumer, the newspaper is not. It is part of the
consumer’s life. He has learned to rely upon it as a re
liable source of news. He knows also that when pro
ducts are advertised in its columns he may rely upon
them. He has faith in the publisher.
Comparing the newspaper with other media we find
that magazines, radio, billboards, circulars and mail soli
citations all serve their purpose. But not one is as effec
tive as the newspaper.
The newspaper is flexible. Whether an advertiser
wants spot or routine advertising he has a medium for
the purpose. Nor in the case of national media must he
duplicate or follow a policy of wasteful advertising. If
his product is aimed at a particular locality the news
papers in that locality will cany his message to the peo
ple.
The cost, which is always of vital importance to any
business man, is lower, for the results obtained, than any
other form of media. By eliminating duplication and
by taking advantage of the reasonable national and local
rates he is sure to reach his field at a minimum cost. —

This Is true cream in cans, easy
to whip, excellent for refrigerator
delicacies, and especially good in
coffee. No milkman to notify or
bottles to return. Then there is
the brand new Brown Betty Pud
ding In cans, and did you know
that you can get individual salmon
steaks and cubed salmon for
salads ?
Baking Made Easy
Baking has always been a time
consuming task, but the canners
have come to your rescue with
canned biscuits all ready to pop
into the oven, with biscuit dough
if you want to go a step farther
back and with ready-to-use pre
mixed biscuit flour if you prefer
to begin almost at the beginning
and do your baking yourself.
Then there Is a prepared pie
crust which needs only a little ice
water to blend it, and enables you
to make a pie or tart or turnover
at the last minute. And if- you
once taste the gingerbread that
comes in cans, you won’t waste
much time In the future making
your own.
Meats All Ready
Any good housewife knows from
experience how long it takes to
cook a ham. That experience
should turn her to the use of
whole hams in cans or a good sec
tion of smoked ham, all pre-
cooked and rich in its own juice
and jelly. Canned chickens, whole
or half, are also available in cans,
and many ready-made dishes, too.
It takes a long time, for in
stance, to cook a piece of corned
beef to make hash, and also lots
of fuel. So why not save the time,
fuel and labor by buying canned
corned beef hash which comes In
small cans holding two portions or
in larger cans for four people?
Young, tender beef is used for this
hash, with an exact proportion of
lean and fat meat, and no left
over meat to bother with.
And Mexican tamales in cans
can be combined with canned corn,
tomato sauce, a couple of beaten
eggs, and salt and pepper, and a
tamale pie is In the making. An
added touch which is delicious Is
to sprinkle a little grated cheese
on top before baking.
Bring Your Grocer Up to Date
i
If your grocer doesn’t carry
some of these canned foods we
have enumerated, ask him to get
any of them that strike your
fancy, and get your friends to ask
him, too. That’s the way to have
put at your disposal all of the
latest time-saving, labor-saving,
palate-tickling edibles in cans
which earn their first popularity
in larger communities, but are
bound to be used everywhere ic
the course of time.*
