OPEN-AIR MARKET FOR CLUB
PRODUCE STIMULATES DEMAND
At Lincoln, Neb., there is a boys’
and girls’ garden club that has cre
ated a new departure in the market
ing of garden products. The mem
bers of the club —four thousand
strong—produced more garden fruits
and vegetables than they could use.
How could they dispose of the sur
plus crop? An open-air market was
suggested. The board of trade and
chamber of commerce favored the
plan, and a Saturday morning open
air market was created.
At first the business men of Lin
coln complained that it would inter
fere with the regularly established
produce trade; later they learned
that, on the contrary, the boys’ and
girls’ Saturday market created a
larger demand for produce during the
week, and thev are now enthusiastic
over the arrangement. That open
air market has become a regular fac
tor in the economic scheme of things
at Lincoln; and, curiously enough,
1 85 per cent of the members of the
club are girls.
Women Better Marketers
It may be popularly believed that
the marketing end of farm produc
tion should be conducted by the men.
That may be true with regard to
some commodities, but marketing ex
perts of the department of agricul
ture maintain that sometimes wom
en are better qualified ot handle the
marketing work in connection with
poultry, eggs, and canned products.
The production of poultry and eggs
is largely a matter attended to by
farm women. Canning is left entire
ly to the women. If farm products
can be marketed to best advantage
by those who have the greatest in
timacy with them, does it not follow
that the department’s contention is
correct?
Several hundred thousand gallons
of apples are used in Spokane, Wash.,
each year in the manufacture of
bakers’ pies. Two years ago 130,-
000 gallons of apples annually were
shipped to Spokane from the state
of New York. Today, although the
demand is greater, the quantity of
imported apples has been reduced
considerably, for the demand is sup
plied at home. That accomplishment
was made possible by 70 young girls
—girls between the ages of 10 and
IS—who knew that thousands of
gallons of cull apples wore going to
waste on farms in the vicinity of
Spokane. Through the assistance of
the United States department of agri
culture and Washington state agen
cies, a girls’ canning club was form
ed. with the result that these small
canners are furnishing Spokane bak
ers with a large part of their can
ned-apple supplies. Not only do
these young girls attend to the work
of canning but they handle the en
tire transaction from start to finlah.
Learning Better Methods
It is conservatively estimated that
55 per cent of the membership of
hovs' and girls' club work through
out the nation consists of girls. With
in a few vears the majority of those
girls will take their places as Amer
ican farm women. They are now
in their teens, studying and work
ing out problems that will confront
them later on. And while they are
. vlng that they are learning the
f*oundamental principles in scientific
production and marketing methods
that must supplant those being used
at present in order to meet the in
creasing food requirements of our
country. . ~ .
The grown-ups would do well to
emulate their example. On every
hand are instances where, by the use
of improved methods, boys and girls
are securing larger crop results with
a minimum of effort, and by proper
grading, packing, and marketing
methods receiving a maximum of re
ward for their labors.

all kinds grow, also lots of wild fruit,
such as grapes, suckle berries, blackber
ries, persimmons and lots of other kinds.
I am 15 years old, weigh 130 pounds, five
feet and ten inches tall, dark brown hair,
blue eyes and fair complexion.
Well friends, I must close as my letter
is growing long. Some of you all please
do remember to write me,, and you will
sure get an answer, both boys and girls.

As I have written to your department
I will not describe myself for all marines
look alike and I am a marine now.
Here is a request I wish to make though.
Will some of you people write to a boy
who is going to be sent down in San Do
mingo very soon and a letter is very
cheering when one is lonely.
I may be able to write an interesting

Colarodo through the activities of
boys and girls. Boys and girls in
every state are prize winners for
dairy, beef, and pork production. In
New Jersey, through proper grading
and packing methods, the boys and.
girls generally top the egg markets
by at least five cents a dozen. When
eggs were eighty cents a dozen in
Massachusetts last year the eggs
marketed by boys’ and girls’ clubs
brought $1 a dozen because of their
superior quality. Boys’ and girls’
poultry generally sells at a higher
price than the prevailing market
level.
A Young Business Woman
There are many individual in
stances of notable achievements by
boys and girls. One is that of a
fifteen-year-old girl in Massachus
etts who marketed about 3,000 cans
of high-grade fruits and vegetables
last year. The products were so well
put up that the Colony club of
Springfield, Mass., desired to con
tract for the entire output. At the
present time this young- woman has
difficulty in meeting her orders,
which call for 5,000 cans of produce
this year. There is a potential busi
ness woman who is destined to be
one of America’s highest types of
use fu 1 citizen.
Leads to Building of
Farm Homes in South
Beautifying and improving the
farm homes is the newest phase of
home demonstration work in the
South, yet more than 1,5)0 farm
houses were built in the south last
year according to plans advised by
the home club agents; 2,736 were re
modeled, 2,677 had lighting systems
installed, 19,270 had kitchens im
proved and made easier to do work
in, 26,811 labor-saving devices were
made or purchased, and 29,666 front
yards were beautified. When ex
tension work with the women was
started, 10 years ago, it aimed first
to lighten women’s work and to lift
it out of the realm of drudgery and
to aid in food problems. As these
I problems were being solved the
1 questions of clothing, more conven
| iences, increased poultry and dairy
| production, sanitary improvements,
i food composition, food values, and
i practical arrangement and furnish
ing of the kitchen were brought up
I by the women. This led to demands
I for practical plans for the whole
i house and for information as to its
! best location, drainage, water sup
i ply, lighting devices, inside arrange
' ment, and decoration.
Use Less Sugar in Jellies
' One-fifth to one-quarter less sugar
i can be used in making jelly and
I jams, experiments made by house-
I hold experts in me United States
I department of agriculture experimen
tal kitchen indicate.
Another sugar-saving wrinkle test
ed by the experiment kitchen is to
add one-quarter teaspoon of salt to
each cup of fruit juice for jelly or
pulp for jam, marmalade, and con
serve. In the case of non-acid fruit
this makes the absence of the full
amount of sugar less noticeable. The
salty taste will disappear after the
I product has stood for a few weeks,
but the flavor will be much the
richer for the addition of the salt.
Salt was so used in England during
the war, and the method suggested
was based on reports of the process.
With fruits of pronounced flavor,
or where lemon and orange peel or
spices are used for flavoring those
with mild flavor, various sirups take
the place of part of the granulated
sugar. Usually half and half is the
proportion used in substitution./

Old and Favorite Songs
When I was only eight years old
I commenced taking music lessons
from a blind teacher, Professor
Guttenberger. I was going also to
school in Oxford, Ga. At the close
of the school term our teacher had
a concert and I was allowed to play
“Blue Bells of Scotland.” My father
was there to take me home next day,
and I was as happy as a young
bird beginning to fly when he told
me how proud he was of his little
girl. Erom that time onward I was
eager to learn music. I remember
my delight when I could sing and
play “Listen to the Mockingbird,”
“Darling Nelly Gray,” “Annie
Laurie,” “Ben Bolt,” “Kathleen
Mavoureen,” “The Old Oaken Bucket,”
"Uncle Ned,’ “The Last Rose of Sum
mer,” “Massa’s in De Cold Ground,”
“Old Black Joe,” “Old Folks at Home,”
“Coming Thro the Rye,” “Flow Gen
tly Sweet Afton,” “My Old Ketucky
Home,” “Those Evening Bells,”
“There’s Music in the Air,” etc, etc.
Just after Lincoln’s election in
November, 1860, our family governess
returned from New York city, where
she was born and had lived, and
brought a copy of “Dixie Land” with
her. I never shall forget the time!
We had a big wood fire in the par
lor and I could play almost all such
music on sight and directly we were
singing it, and the colored people
came from the “quarter” and directly
they caught the air and were sing
ing it.
Nobody expected war. We heard
talk of it, but the idea prevailed
that the south would secede as the
Methodist church s,, ceded and no par
ticular trouble to follow. The New
York teacher did not expect war, for
she came back from her vacation in
the best of spirits.
But war did come and she had all
sorts of worries and difficulties before
she reached her home after war was
on in terrible force. Then we sang
“Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,”
“Just Before the Battle, Mother,”
and other war songs.
I became acquainted with the poet,
How to Make a Yard for Small Poultry
Flock, Shade Must Be Provided
If convenient, it is well to have
double yards, for then one may ro
tate green crops. Small yards may
be sown to oats, wheat, rye, rape
seed, etc., but if large yards are
available they can be kept in a per
manent sod of bluegrass, alfalfa, or
clover. While the fowls are using
one yard the green feed in the other
is getting a fresh start.
If the yards are to be on only one
side of the house, they should be
on the south side in order that the
fowls may have the benefit of the
first dry ground in early spring.
It not infrequently happens that in
localities where snow is abundant
the ground on the south side is dry
many davs before that on the north
side.
If the yards are to be in perma
nent sod and are to furnish green
feed for the fowls, 70 to 80 square
feet should be allowed for each bird.
If part of the green feed is to be pro
vided for otherwise, and the yards
used mainly for exercise grounds.

How often and often I have play

“Camp Felton.” I never shall for

troop broke camp and started to
Tennessee, and were directly engag

Tenn., where some pf the men and
officers who had been at our home
were killed and wounded and never
came home any more. I saw the shin

said to my husband, “I can never
fight a harder battle in my life than
I did yesterday when I bade my wife

life to memorize hymns that were in
general use and acceptance in the
churches which I attended.
It was the custom in those early
days to “line the hymns” and, it
was easy to commit them to memory.
Also hymn books were not plenti

How the people enjoyed that sort
of worship! Everybody sang. My
mother sung to me, in baby days.
As I sat beside my father, on camp

arms during the long sermons, how

voices begin to swell in those well
sung hymns of the long, long ago.

of “Mob him!” “Kill him!” etc., that

Canning’ Questions
Many of the questions asked show
the merest defect has caused the loss
of valuable material and preciouis
labor, so I am going to give you
some general canning hints that all
of us need to bear in mind whenever
we are putting our fruits or vege
tables away.
There are two reasons for spoilage
■—bacteria and mold. Both are too
minute to be seen by the eye. It
takes a microscope to find them. They
come from yeds called spores, which
float in the air when dry and are al
ways on fruits and vegetables, but
cannot harm them until the skin is
broken. That is why any bruised
apple, peach or pear begins to de
cay.
Molds are easier to deal with than
bacteria, for mold requires fresh air.
Bacteria thrives even when no air
is present. So we must cook the fruit
long enough to actually kill ths
spores, and put it away fast enough
for no more to enter.
Test every jar by putting in some
water. Put on the rubber and top,
seal as carefully as you will with
the fruit in it and turn upside down,
give it a minute or Ffo and If it
should even ooze ouL examine care
fully to see if it is Tee top, the rub
ber or a chipped jar.
If the jar Is imperfect, you may
use it for pickles or you can put
jam in it and cover the jam an eighth
of an inch with melted parawax or
parafine.
I turn my jars upside down after
I fill them £.nd let them stay all
night. Then after thirty-six hours
if there are any bubbles I open the
jar and rinse off beans, fill with hot
water and process half an hour. I
seldom have this to do, but some
times one jar will catch a spore. I
bought six of the jar holders or wire
baskets that hold just one jar. I paid
46 cents for the six and when I
have a jar to cook over, or a quart
or two of beans or tomatoes, I slip
the jars in these holders, set in «.
tin bucket and cook during meal
time.
A lady asks why her tomatoes al
ways spoil. As she does not tell
me her process, I cannot tell her.
but mine never do, so I will tell
her how I fix them.
I do not have any soft ones. I
want them just ripe, and as we do not
plant a large bed of tomatoes, I can
every week, and sometimes oftener —
only one quart if I have them. Put
the ripe tomatoes in a bag in boil
ing water for three minutes. Don’t
guess. You can get a kitchen clock
that will keep time that long. Put
in cold water and they are ready to
slip the skin. Cut out the core and
any green "spot. Place carefully in
jars and fill up with juice if possible;
put a teaspoonful of salt to a quart.
Put the top on loosely and set up
to the neck in water. Let them really
boil twenty-five minutes. Take out
a jar, seal as tight as possible, turn
upside down out of the draft and
take the next. When you can handle
the jars, try to turn the tops tighter
and then put in the box the empty
jars came in. As you use a jar, wash
it clean and turn upside down in
the same box, then when you open
the box you know at a glance how
many jars are full.
For your soup mixture cut your
okra after it is sterilized, then put
in with your tomato pieces that are

to learn American methods.
The first laboratory for working
out household food problems was
installed in Teachers’ College, New
York City, a little more than ten
years ago. The development of sci
ence has been extraordinary, the
current ideas of the actual value of
foods in common use has been rev
olutionized by the work in these
laboratories. When the war came,
the government accepted without
question the results of these in
vestigations and the rations of
American soldiers in France was
fixed upon them.
One of the most interesting sea-
Bobbed Her Hair in
Street; Arrested
The notion that her appearance
would be greatly enhanced if hei
hair were bobbed took such a firm
hold of Catherine McPartland, twen
ty-five years old, of 389 Eighth
avenue, New York, that she left her
home and entered the nearest bar
ber shop, where she demanded that
the operation be performed.
“Your hair is too pretty, miss, and
I couldn’t think of cutting it,” re
monstrated the proprietor.
After she had met with polite re
fusal at three other barber shops In
the neighborhood Miss McPartland
borrowed a pair of scissors and, while
standing at Broadway and Thirty
seventh street, began snipping off her
tresses herself. A crowd of 200 per
sons gathered and watched th<
process with interest until Patrolman
Fentner, of the West Thirty-seventh
street station, interrupted it by ar
resting the young woman.
Magistrate Corrigan seemed shock
ed at her appearance when she was
arraigned before him in West Side
court on a charge of intoxication.
“I’ll suspend sentence,” he said,
“if you’ll go home and stay there
until you grow a new crop of hair.”
So that is what Miss McPartland
is going to do.

yesterday during an electrical storm
and was thought to have either been
struck by lightning or run over by

al other prisoners.
It is charged that he stole a

Atlantic City Bathers See
Boardwalk Dry Raids
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—Six cab
arets and cases in or near the Board
walk were raided simultaneously
recently by forty prohibition agents
from Philadelphia. Large quantities
of liquor were seized and carted
away.
Thousands of bathers flocked on
the great wooden way in defiance of
police regulations as the raids were
in progress.
Death House Fires Snorer
A sequestered cell, far from other
prisoners in Westchester County,
New York, jail, is being prepared for
Sam Michalow, otherwise known as
“the snorer,” who will be taken to
White Plains from Sing Sing pend
ing the new trial granted by the
court of appeals.
Michalow, who was convicted last
January of instigating the murder of
Mrs. Lizzie Niznick at Yonkers, has
been annoying his inmates of the
death house in Sing Sing with his
nasal nocturnes, so much so that
Warden Lawes received a protest
and a request that some sort of
silencer be arranged. It got so that
non'' of those under sentence of ex
ecution could get any sleep.
not suitable to can whole, and process
the jars as for tomatoes alone.
A subscriber wants to know about
canning soft peaches and squashes.
To can squash, blanch three mintes,
drop in cold water and cut in suit
able pieces, pack in hot jars, partially
screw on the tops after filling with
hot water, cook two hours, or an
hour a day for three days. I prefer
two hours straight. Soft peaches
must be gathered before they get
ripe. Peel them, cut them in halves
and drop in the jar just out of hot
water. Place the covers on loosely,
stand them in a pot with a false
bottom, if you have no steamer, let
the water come to their necks and
boil one hour for quart jars. Take
out one jar, but on the rubber -and
fill the jar to overflowing with a
hot syrup made of sugar or corn
syrup and water, half syrup, half
water, or you may fill the jars with
hot water after putting in the
peaches, and cook together with two
tablespoonfuls of sugar to a quart.
We are using peaches I canned year
before last.
Corn: Here is where so many fail.
The corn must be just right or it
will be ‘waxy.” Remove the husk
and silk, trim the ends and blanch
five minutes on the cob. Have a
sharp, thin-bladed knife and cut but
do not scrape. Fill the hot jars to
within an inch of the top, put in
a teaspoonful of salt and fill with
boiling water, fill one jar, put on
top and put in the canner, then
work on 1 another. Boil or process,
three hours. To can on the cob use
these directions, except the corn is
not cut off the cob.
Many people make a thin syrup
by using half sugar, half water, when
it conies to a boil drop in the
peaches and continue boiling till they
are tender. Drop carefully in to the
jars, fill with hot syrup to over
flowing and seal at once.

Mrs. Lizzie O. Thomas: You will

Am thinking about how extrava

the little ones in other lands dying
for bread. It seems that a great
many people have gone wild.
The automobile riding- and other
things are taking so many of our

there isn’t something done to check
it we will soon have a reckless gen

Mrs. Thomas, I have been reading
your good letters a good while. I
hope you will live a long time yet
to do good.

Dear Mrs. Thomas: I send $2 for
the relief of the Armenians. I am
late with my contribution, but I
have been waiting thinking I would
have the money to spare, but it seems
I never can. So I have made a sacri
fice by doing without myself and
sending you the money for the re
lief of the Armenian children.
Sincerely,
MRS. ED N. ENGLAND.
tures of the laboratory is a com
plete flat including kitchen, dining
room, bedroom and bath. Students
are selected who need such kinds of
food and experimented upon for
weeks at a time. In this way, many
problems of the utmost importance
were solved.
The average housewife today is
suprisirigly ignorant of the real
value of the food she buys and pre
pares. With more scientific knowl
edge, every dollar she spends will
purchase food of much higher nu
tritive value and would in other
words, go much further in feeding
the family. In the course of the
next few years popular ideas of
food values will probably be com

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
1 am a boy 21 years of age com
ing to you for advice as I am in
love with a girl 16 years of age, and
Bhe says that she loves me dearly.
She talks that way to other girls,
and they tell me about it. I go to see
her every Sunday and she treats
me kindly and nice. Do you think
that she loves me and do you think
that she and I, are old enough to
marry? I have just completed a
trade as electrician and make good
money, and do you think that I
could take good care of her? Her
folks like me fine. I was in
Florida for quite awhile and wrote
to her all the time. Please answer
this in The Journal and advise me
for she is the only girl that I ever
loved and I love her dearly.
E. L. G.
Your girl is a little too young
I think to marry just now. Why
don’t you wait a while for her,
say until she is eignvan at any
rate. You have a good trade
electricians make good mow
and if you will start to work
now and put by something each
week or month, by the time she
is eighteen you will have saved
enough to start a little home on,
and that is the only way for
young couples to do. They
should think ahead, and both
will be happier. If she says she
loves you, you must take her
word for it, until you find out
different.
Here comes fi country boy for ad
vice. I am twenty-one years old to
day and in 11/ve with a girl fifteen.
1 have bee - ? going with her for some
time and <ne says she loves me, and
I am sure she does, and I love her.
She is a nice birl. Do you think it
would be right for she and I to get
married. I am sure we could live to
gether forever. I am sure I love her
well enough. She gave me a birthday
present. Do you think it was nice
of her to give me a present?
Hoping to see the reply to these
questions In the next Journal and
thanking you for your advice, I am
truly yours,
BLUE EYES.
While I really think the girl
is too young to marry now, you
might wait awhile longer, and
it is very sweet to love each
other as you say you do. And it
was very thoughtful and nice
of her to remember your birth
day with a little present. The
main question is, Can you sup
port her? You had better give
that problem serious thought be
fore it is too late. You cannot
think so much about it after
wards.
I am coming to you for advice. I
am in the sixth and the seventh
grade and had to stop school. I want
to take a business course in some
thing and don’t know what would be
the best for me as I haven’t much
of an education. Will you please ad
vise me what to take and where I
can go to take it. Hope to see this in
print in the Tri-Weekly Journal.
Thanking you for your advice.
GRAY EYES.
Even though you had to stop
school you can still learn a great
deal by taking a business train
ing at any of the good business
colleges in Atlanta or some other
city you prefer. They will teach
you grammar, spelling, arithme
tic, and al of the things neces
sary to be of benefit to you in
the business world. .And you will
not go far wrong to take up this
course of training.
$250,000 Drugs Seized
In Brooklyn Raids;
Find Murder Suspect
Acting over the heads of the
Brooklyn police, the Italian squad
from Manhattan headquarters raided
two houses in Brooklyn recently and
confiscated $250,000 wort!) of co
caine and several revolvers and stil
ettos. They also arrested three
men, two for having drugs in their
possession and for violation of the
Sullivan law, and the third for mur
der in addition to the other charges.
The raids took place at about 5
a. m. Detective Sergeant Michael
Fiaschetti and three other detec
tives first entered the home of
Giovanni Mauro, fifty-three, at 160
Carroll street. Here, they say, they
found $175,000 worth of cocaine, as
well as a small arsenal of pistols and
knives. Louis Mauro, son of Giovan
ni, was arrested with his father.
The detectives then raided anoth
er house, at 170 Carroll street, also
said to be the property of Mauro,
and found there Giuseppi Gangrossa,
who, the police say, has been sought
in connection with the murder of
Joseph Messina since April 17, when
the latter was slain in front of 17
Stanton street in a quarrel over
cocaine.
The police say that Mauro admits
purchasing the drug from sailors on
merchant ships, who smuggled it
into the country.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don’t lose a
day’s work. Take a spoonful of Dod
son’s Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone acts
better than horrible calomel your
money is wating for you.— (Advt.l
