Does Sumter's Home
By MRS. R. D. McNEILL
Demonstration Agent Pay
The Sumter County Fair of 1924
has gone down in history as a past
event. This was one of the mo.?:
successful fairs the county has
ever held, only one thing -auscd it
to fall short of, all ev!>ectation—
the different communis sas a
whole, had not prepared for an ex
hibit through the year. In other
words, the fair association and the
several county districts must cooper
ate from year to year if we get an
exhibit that is worthy.
We wonder if the town appreci
ates the fair. We wonder if the
fair is really worth while. W? won
der if the fair this year has brought
any new inspiration er new ideas
to our farmers to help them with
next years crops.
Some of the workers would love
to hear expressions on these phases.
I believe firmly that the mos'. at
tractive feature of the fair was the
Home Demonstration Work under
the supervision of Miss Bonnie
Parkman. I visited the Southeast
ern fair in Atlanta, and others
’round about, this year; but I saw
nothing that surpassed Miss Park
man’s showing in our Sumter coun
ty fair. The number of her pr>-
ducts higher than some other fairs,
and the exhibitiors represented
every school district in the county,
except two .
As I gazed in admixing wonder
on the many products represented
in this department of canning, all
so beautifully and scientifically pre
served for winter, or famine 1 , or
drought, I feel so grateful to our
government for instituting the
funds and office of the Home Dem
onstrator. This worker means as
much to our county and nation as
did the rural free delivery.
A person’s stomach is his chief
asset. Many of our rural women
who had never known before the
value of a balnced ration for her
family can now prepare much
more wholesome food and further
more she knows how to plant, ferti-

to keep her household well and
healthy.
Now. Mr. merchant, don’t get
frightened, we wont quit buying
“city groceries” but we will have
money and knowledge tv, buy more.
However, there should be more co
operation between the city grocer
and country housewife, wiich per
haps will come about when the home
demonstration agent has had time
and opportunity to teach us how to
prepare our surplus products for
market. No doubt this w : 1 be a
few years distant, or when the girls
of today, become the heads of the
household tomorrow.
The girls canning display does
credit both to their instruct r and
themselves. We wish to see this
wok go forward hv leaps and
bounds; but our means ar a sc limi
ted that we are greatly handi-cnp
ped. Many rural girls who"should
be in this work have no means to
provide the necessary tars, cloth or
other articles for the cause. We
have often wished that some gener
ous citizens of our town would
catch a vision of this work and give
a monthly donation to help pro
mote it. A North Gec-gia county,
less prominent than Sumter pays
several dollars per month to this
work. One citizen of the county
site of that county offered $5 per
month as a starter. Wil -re are our
men of vision for Sumt- r county?
One woman who is a member of
our Home Demonstration Club in
a local community has canned near
ly 3000 containers of peaches and
tomatoes, 4 H brand stuff. She
has only five in her family, 3
small children, her husband and
herself. What will she do with her
surplus? Will her work be re
munerated.? Is there a home mark
et or must we buy tomatoes canned
from Northern gardens.

This picture should be a serm on to all boys. It carries a double
edged moral: Be mightv careful with fire-arms! Face the music!
It shows two very frightened boys, Arthur Meigan and Adam Ro
tundo (left to right.) They were two of four boys who went “explor
ing” with Ernest Schwer in the swamps of Long Island, N- Y. Young
Schwer was missing for days. Later it developed he had been acci
dentally shot and the frightened boys had hidden the body. Think of
the suspense to loved ones caused by their attempted deception! In the
end the truth came out. And, now look at their faces. Then ask
yourself if it wouldn’t have been better to face the truth in the
first place.
brand product is? And the work
that is behind it? It is just as
substantial as a Heinz cr Libby pro
duct, or even more so.
In the girls, as well as the wo
mens canning club work, the
home garden is the foundation. We
must study the plant, its culture,
and just how to select the proper
fruit and vegetable for a perfect
pack to turn out a 4 H brand pro
duct. No person is entitled to a
4 H brand label who has not had
instructions on the work under a
Home Demonstration Agent. This
agent has her work mapped out un
der government specifications and
she must make a detailed report
each year of the work accomplish
ed by each woman or girl. No girl
can take cooking or sewing or handi
craft without the garden and can
ning work.
Many of our Womans Home Dem
onstration Club have followed the
girls work throughout this year and
will have it to do next year. Every
school board of trustees should
make this work a part of their
school curriculum. It is just as
necessary as any branch of the
literary work.

In the late Wrld War so many
marvelou sfeats of surgery were
performed that the layman has
reached the stage where he has
ceased to be surprsed at anything
the surgeons do. In the base hos
pitals of France noses—yes, even
entire faces were rebuilt to order
---rotting bones were replaced by
healthy ones from animals—even
important organs were either re
paired or replaced.
The public will therefore accept
without question the amazing op->
eration performed in Marshall Nei
lan’s astounding new picture of
newspaper life—“Go Ard Get It”
—which the First National will re
lease at Dudley’s Opera House Sat
urday, matinee 2 p. m. Upon the
outcome of this wonderful surgical
exploit hinges one of tne most fas
cinating and sensational plots that
the motion picture world has pro
duced in recent years. And while
this is incidental to the main
thread of the plot, which hinges on
the romance and excitement of
newspaper life, collectively it goes
to make one of the most powerful
storie s ever written around a
great daily.
