TOMATOES
By The Ton!
MORE tomatoes than any other
vegetable are canned in this
country today. The annual value
of our tomato crop Is estimated
at more than $50,000,000 of which
approximately $20,000,000 is spent
for tomatoes by canners and man
ufacturers. Besides being canned,
tomatoes are manufactured into
soups, purges, catsups and tomato
juice. Prom 1,000,000 to 1,250,000
tons are grown annually for the
canners and manufacturers!
There is a very good reason for
this. And that is that modern
cooking minus tomatoes would be
very much like the play of Hamlet
with Hamlet left out. Not that
there is anything so dramatic or
heroic about the part ttye tomato
Plays in modern cooking, but as a
general utility man he just simply
can’t be left out. What would the
following recipes taste like, for
instance, without the tomatoes?
Tomatoes Give the Tone
Tomato Fritters: Beat one egg
slightly, add two cups canned to
matoes and one and a third cups
crushed cracker crumbs, and sea
son with salt and pepper. Drop
from spoon into plenty of hot fat
in a skillet. Brown on one side,
turn and brown on the other side,
Brain on brown paper. Makes
about twelve small fritters.
Meat Loaf with Tomatoes: Add
one small finely chopped onion,
one teaspoon salt, one-fourth tea
spoon pepper, one teaspoon sage
and one-half cup dry bread crumbs
to one pound of chopped beef. Add
one beaten egg. Mix well together
and pile In a rounded mound In
the center of a flat baking dish.
Pour over one cup canned to
matoes and bake in a hot—loo
degree—oven for about forty-five
minutes, basting occasionally witb
the tomatoes. Serves four.* ‘

Apple Time
An apple crop of about 204 mil
ion bushels is forecast for this year
y the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics. This will be the second
largest crop in ten years. Even
though apple prices are lower, the
Rross income is expected to be much
arger than in recent years. Apples
not only have a good flavor, appe
tizing appearance, and desirable
ulk, but also are a good source of
vitamin C. They furnish sugar,
fruit acids and minerals of good
quality. In buying apples, the shop
per should select apples that are
suitable for her purpose. Of the
large variety of apples on the mark
et, some are best for baking and
cooking; others are good for eating
iaw. In general, the firmer tarter
apples are more satisfactory for
cooking. The Rome Beauty and the
Ben Davis are good cooking apples,
while the Delicious is good to eat.
Some of the most common general
purpose apples on the market are
Grimes Golden, Jonathan, Northen
s Py. Stay man, Rome Beauty, Wine
sap, Baldwin, New York Imperial,
and Delicious.
Apples can be served in various
ways. Whether they are fried and
served with ham for breakfast, serv
ed with apple sauce with pork, serv
ed as a salad, or as a dessert, they
are always delicious. Try these
recipes some time:
Gingered Apples
4 lb apples, 4 lb sugar, 1-16 lb
ginger root cut in pieces or 1 oz.
dried or powdered ginger, % cup of
water, juice of two lemons.
Use hard or under-ripe apples.
Peel, core and cut into thin slices.
As apples are peeled and cut into
slices, drop in salt water (1 tsp. salt
to 1 qt. water). Mix sugar, water,
apples, lemon juice and ginger to
gether, and simmer until thick as
marmalade.
Apples And Cranberry Conserve
2 cups cranberries, 1% cups sug
ar, % cup cooked crushed pineap
ple, 1 cup diced apples, % cup wat
er, juice of 1 lemon, % rind grated.
Cook together the apples and
cranberries until fruit is tender.
Add the lemon, pineapple and sugar.
Mix well, and cook rapidly until
clear. Pour into hot jars, seal and
process as for other jams.
COST OF PAPER MAY
HIKE CIRCULATION COST
New York. Many newspapers
may be forced to raise circulation
rates because of fast rising news
print costs and other publishing ex
penses, W. G. Chandler, chairman of
the newsprint committee of the
American Newspaper Publishers’ As
sociation, predicted recently.
Chandler has asked publishers to
protest to newsprint manufacturers
the threatened price increases for
1938. Even at the $49 average
price for 1938, announced by the
Great Northern Paper Company,
publishers will be obliged to pay
$25,000,000 more for paper than
they did in 1937, he said.
Newspapers in more than 50
American cities have been forced to
raise their rates recently because
of increased costs, he said.
Costs of newspaper publication,
according to statistics tabulated
have been advancing recently far
out of proportion to increased re
ceipts from advertising and circu
lation.
Pay rolls, it was stated, have
jumped ahead of even the 1929
level, both through wage increases
to editorial, clerical and merchani
cal employees, and from receipts
generally are still well below the
1929 total.
Every commodity going into man
ufacturing a newspaper, with one or
two minor exceptions, has advanced
in price over the previous year, ac
cording to A. N. P. A. statistics.
Publishers are paying more for
metal, fuel, services, newsprint, and
all the numerous requisites to pro
ducing a well-printed, interesting
newspaper, promptly delivered to a
wide coverage.
A little girl heard her entomolo
gist father and a friend discussing
fleas, and broke into the chat by
asking if they had ever seen any
white fleas. “No, my dear,” said
her father. “There aren’t any in
this country.” “But there are, Dad
dy,” she said. “I know there are.
Don’t you remember, ‘Mary had a
little lamb, its fleas were white as
snow’?” —Methodist Recorder.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TURNS
SOUTH FOR BRIEF VACATION
Washington.—President Roosevelt
turned southward Saturday night for
a brief fishing vacation after a final
review of his legislative program
with congressional leaders.
The President’s special train left
shortly before midnight for a leis
urely run to Miami, Fla. He will em
bark there on the yacht Potomac.
Mrs. James Roosevelt, a daugh
ter-in-law, and Miss Marguerite Le
Hand the President’s personal sec
retary, went along, but planned to
leave the party at Palm Beach.
Invited to go on the boat trip
were Secretary Ickes, Harry L.
Hopkins, Works Progress administra
tor; Robert H. Jackson, assistant at
torney general; Secretary James
Roosevelt and several White Housa
aides.
Senator Pepper (Democrat, Flor
ida) and John D. Biggers, unemploy
ment census director, were members
of the train party, but were to leave
the President at Miami.
A temporary White House head
quarters will be established at a
Miami hotel with Secretary Marvin
H. Mclntyre in charge.
Unless tentative plans are chang
ed, the President will leave the yacht
at Miami or vicinity next Thursday
or Friday, then journey to Warm
Springs, Ga., for his annual turkey
dinner with the infantile paralysis
patients there. His customary
Thanksgiving Day engagement at the
the Springs was postponed this year
because of a tooth infection.
INCREASE PROPOSED FOR 232
VETERANS
Atlanta.—Proposal to increase
pensions to Confederate veterans
from S3O to S4O per month so as to
remove them from public welfare
rolls will be presented to the special
legislative session, L. T. Gillen, head
of the Confederate pension depart
ment, declared.
“Such an increase would benefit
only about 232 surviving veterans
of the War Between the States,”
Gillen asserted.
Many patriotic organizations
have protested vigorously to the
names of Confederate veterans be
ing carried on Public Welfare De
partment rolls. Representatives,
with resolutions from dozens of or
ganizations, appeared before Gov
ernor Rivers asking that an imme
diate change be made. They de
clared the pensions did not come
under the classification of social se
curity benefits but were payments
for services rendered in defending
the south.
Gillen said a bill to increase the
pension rate to the remaining veter
ans will be brought up soon.
The veterans now are paid $lO
per month by the welfare depart
ment.
PEANUT YIELD IN GEORGIA
IS SHORT OF ANTICIPATION
From 85 to 90 per cent of the pea
nut crop in southwest Georgia has
been moved, it was stated last week
by Roy Parrish, manager of the
Georgia-Florida-Alabama Peanut As
sociation with offices at Camilla.
Mr. Parrish said that the yield in
this area is nearly 20 per cent short
of anticipation.
Diminished operations of crushing
mills have resulted in premium
prices on oil and peanut meal, Par
rish said, with oil selling recently at
7 cents a pound and meal at S3O
a ton.
Parrish said the association’s
stabilization program contemplates
marketing of edible peanuts as
prices remains “reasonable” and the
crushing of as many as are necessary
to maintain a stable market.
Georgia Cow Bears Third Set Of
Twins
Elberton. Belinda had twins
again last week. It’s getting to be
a habit with her.
Belinda is a cow. She lives a
few miles from Elberton on a farm
owned by Captain P. M. Hawes.
When news of the latest event
reached town, there came with it a
report that it was Belinda’s third
set of twins within four years.
As if this were not enough—and
you will agree this is hard to be
lieve —the report said also that one
set of triplets was born during the
four-year period.

Charles W. Bryan, 70, To
Start New Campaign
Lincoln, Neb.—Charles W. Bryan
is getting ready for the campaign
stump again at an age when most
persons are willing to trade the tur
bulence of politics for a fireside
armchair.
The 70-year-old Nebraskan, only
one to serve three terms ns gover
nor, admitted Friday he had suc
cumbed again to the lure of cam
paigning, although public office was
not his goal.
. Bryan, brother of the late “com
moner,” William Jennings Bryan, is
preparing to fight for a state con
stitutional amendment to exempt
home owners from taxation on prop
erty valued up to $5,000.
Petitions now are in circulation,
he said, to place the matter before
the voters at the November, 1938,
state election.
Last May, after Bryan finished a
term as mayor of Lincoln, his
friends predicted he would “sit back
and take things easy.”
“I just can’t stop,” he said Fri
day. ‘My brother and I have been
given more honors and have had
more confidence bestowed upon us
than any other two brothers in his
tory.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to
the people, and as long as I live I
expect to discharge that debt.
“You see, it’s a Bryan tradition
to try to prevent the stronger ele
ments of society from imposing up
on the weaker ones.”
“The people aren’t interested in
me as long as tVy are doing well,”
the former governor asserted.
“When their receipts are higher
than their expenses, they throw out
their chests and claim they are
self-made men, and go in and vote
for the old crowd.”
Bryan served as governor in
1923-1924 and from 1931 to 1934.
He was the Democratic vice presi
dential nominee in 1924 and an un
successful candidate for United
States senator ten years later.
WAR VS. PEACE
(By Enoch Brown)
Peace, quiet and calm, of the earth
Brings visions of a vivid scene,
Visions of good, joy and mirth,
Not of dictators or a King.
Peace is the worker in the fields,
His food is what the earth yields,
Tilling the soil, while he sings,
While from the forest, the bird’s
song rings.
War suddenly takes the scene,
Death from the sky by an airplane,
Chatter of the machine gun, rifles
ring,
Hundreds are killed, or maimed.
Death in the form of a bursting
shell,
The dead are silent, the living yell
Curses at the enemy, then charge
To only be killed by the enemy
barrage.
To me the sounds which are heard,
Chattering of the guns, noise of the
bomb
Are less beautiful than the song of
the bind.
The hoe is mightier than the gun.
Before there is Peace, we must learn
to love
Things like the One above,
Mother nature’s birds, soil and sky.
Then the word “War” will not be
the cry.
MAYSVILLE BASKETBALL
GAMES WITH STATHAM
Maysville.—Maysville High boys
scored two victories over Statham
here Tuesday night while the Stat
ham lassies trounced the locals in the
first game of the evening.
Maysville varsity boys won 23 to
11 and the Midgets won 24 to 19,
while Statham girls won by a score
of 38 to 14. In the Midget clash
Maysville’s little forward, Frank Tol-
bert, scored 16 points to take high
honors while Hendrix and Willing
ham were outstanding for the losers.
Statham girls played another good
game and Emily Wall, fleet for
forward, accounted for 26 points.
She was the outstanding performer
of the evening.
In the varisty boys contest during
the first quarter neither team scored
a point. Pounds, Maysville star
forward, displayed his usual shoot
ing ability in getting 16 points.
COTTON GINNED IN JACKSON
•
Census report shows that there
were 13,723 bales of cotton ginned
in Jackson county from the crop of
1937, prior to November 14, as com
pared with 8,162 bales ginned to
November 14, 1936, crop of 1936.
BANKS INCREASE
LENDING MONEY
Washington.—The Federal Re
serve Board announced Friday the
nation’s banks now have more mon
ey to lend than at any time since the
board forced a reduction in the sup
ply last May 1.
The loan supply, as measured by
excess reserves of the banks, amount
ed to $1,140,000,000 on November
24, an increase of $40,000,000 from
the week earlier.
Contrasted with the May 1 action,
when the board cut excess reserves
by increasing reserve requirements,
the board now is forcing an increase
in excess reserves by buying govern
ment securities. The board wants
to pile up sufficient cash in the
banks so that when depositors with
draw money for Christmas shopping,
enough will remain to supply any
loan requests from business.
Last week, the board hought $9,-
000,000 worth of treasury bills,
giving the banks or their depositors
that much more lendable cash.
Since this buying program started
three weeks ago, $38,000,000 worth
of securities have been acquired.
Although early Christmas shop
ping brought a $20,000,000 increase
in money in circulation, the total
bank reserves, both required and ex
cess, rose $27,000,000 to $6,949,-
000,000 in the week.
The board also said billed dis
counts decreased $3,000,000, the
third weekly drop in this form of
credit.
COMMERCE, GA., INDUSTRIES
By the first of next year Com
merce will have nearly one-thousand
persons employed in two overall fac
tories. This is one-fourth of the
entire population. One more indus
try, giving employment to approxi
mately two-hundred persons, would
take up the employment slack of the
qntire community alrca. There is
nothing that promotes economic pro
gress in a small community equal to
an industry. During the long period
of the depression Commerce has
been sustained by a large cotton
mill, one of the largest overall man
ufacturing enterprises in the south,
and the peach growing industry.
Without payrolls from these sources
Commerce would have dried up
economically. If your town is lag
ging, go out and get an industry or
two. Don’t wait for somebody to
drop one on your town like a bomb
from an airplane. They don’t come
that way.—Commerce News.
Origin of “Suwanee”
Everybody knows who wrote “Old
Folks at Home,” but how many
Southerners know the derivation of
the name “Suwanee,” or “Swanee?”
Those who think they do are eligible
to put in a claim, for the Smithson
ion Institution, after considerable
research, has been able to do no bet
ter than suggest two probable de
rivations without proving the authen
ticity of either.
The most generally accepted de
rivation traces the word to “San
Juanito,” or Little St. John, which
was the name given the river by the
Spanish who settled Florida, and ap
pears on early Spanish maps. It
quite easily have been shortened to
“S’wanito” and then corrupted to
“S’wani.”
Another theory now advanced by
some eminent ethnologists is ‘that
the river was named for the Shaw
nee Indians, but those who fancy
this explanation cannot prove that
the Shawnee ever had a settlement
farther south than the banks of the
Chattahoochee a little north of At
lanta. They tended to remain gen
eration after generation within tra
ditional boundaries, seldom wander
ing far from home. They were tol
erated in Georgia by the Creeks only
because they were regarded as pow
erful magicians.
Smithsonian savants now deny
that the name of Savannah comes
from the Spanish “sananna,” mean
ing “grassy plain.” They say the
Creeks twisted the Alonquain “Shaw
nee” into “Sawanegi,” and this was
eventually called “Savannah” by
the English-speaking settlers. If
both conclusions are true, we have
the extremely interesting circum-
stance that the names “Suwanee”
and “Savannah” had the same orig
in, and “Way Down Upon the Sa
vannah River” would do as well in
the song as “Swanee,” except that
the extra syllable would have to be
swallowed as successfully.—Atlanta
Journal.
