I live on a farm and like most of the rest of 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.

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 letter when I get in the tropics from what the fellows say that have been there. Any how some of you write. Yours, PVT. W. HARMON. Co. 549. Batt. A.

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./ The Tri-Weekly Journal’s Fashion Hints O Bft a ftt mX fRCW • A/H a®i n I \ lo OF ULiJ i*« r 1 /ii \ /ws' V VAhX p A M fl liLsa * I J I Vi • < ’F W A » iv / Tn Hr I f W 'a [ a /fl Ir / Bl k V/ f /F/ I LinC a '* / Mt '^l>\ 66 77 Bw ikyw U J i\ .A /H'J'h ffM II I In iL® W /Bra I wl ■ ■ I H ry aC nA I n P/os!l 9,161 —Lady’s and Miss’ Blouse.— Size 34 to 42 bust.

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. 8 ;> square feet for each bird will be sufficiet, poultry specialists Baseball Fans Too Rough To Suit Mexican Writer Jose Campos, one of the leading newspaper men of Mexico, who fre quently comes to this country on im portant errands, recently stated that Mexico would never adopt baseball because the American game reeks with deception and lacks the funda mental features of entertainment that are provided by the bull fight.

Randall, who wrote “Maryland, My Maryland,” and sang and played it with great satisfaction. And the “Soldier's Farewell,” with all war songs, were played by bands, sung by soldiers, and in every placi where people assembled for any pur pose in the early years of the war. How often and often I have play ed for soldier boys camped near our home on what was known as “Camp Felton.” I never shall for get the day before a great cavalry troop broke camp and started to Tennessee, and were directly engag ed in the limits of Murphreesboro, 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 ing tears in their eyes when I play ed and sung “Be Kind to the Loved Ones at Home.” One brave captain said to my husband, “I can never fight a harder battle in my life than I did yesterday when I bade my wife and children good bye!” He was killed in the first engagement with the federal troops in Tennessee. As I hum over the big pages in my music books and recall the ex ceeding interest they gave me and how my whole life has been enter tained wit hthe words and the music I wonder if all of the enchantment will perish w'hen I go to my long home! I made a habit in my young 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 ful. 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 meeting benches or slumbered in his arms during the long sermons, how joyously the wake-up when the voices begin to swell in those well sung hymns of the long, long ago. Oh! What happy days they were to the little girl! of the United States department of agriculture say. Hexagonal wire neeting, 2-nch mesh, is suitable for fencing and can be bought cheaply. Where sev eral runs are adjoining, the fences may be boarded up at the bottom to a height of 2 to 2 1-2 feet, ,or 1- inch mesh wire can be used in place of these boards, to prevent the males fighting one another, freight of fences will need to be regulated by the variety of fowls. The heav iest breds, like the Brahmas, may be restrained by a 4-foot fence, while most of the other breeds can be kept in by a 6-foot fence. Some of the Hamburgs and Leghorns, however, need a 7 or 8 foot sense. By clpping the flight feathers on one wing they can be kept in without much trouble. Gates should be provided in order to permit access from one yard to the next. - , Shade of some kind should be pro vided, and this can often be advant ageously furnished by planting fruit trees (such as pear, plum, T cherry, and apple) in the yard. paper and the yarn was widely read in Mexico. A feature that awed him was the manner in which the spectators call for the life of the umpire. The cries of “Mob him!” “Kill him!” etc., that come from the patrons of the sun baked seats seems to convey to the writer’s mind the idea that trouble is promised after the fray. He wants to know the use of yelling such things when the fans do not mean to carry them out. He charges it is rank deception to tell a man you are going to kill him, then not do it. OUR HOUSEHOLD CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS 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 The Value of Variety in Foods; America Leads Other Countries America leads all countries in ed ucating the public in the value of the different kinds of foods. Many countries, including England and France, are sending representatives 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. Bolt Aids Justice; Jailbreaker Struck EVANSVILLE, Ind. Ray Free man, 25 years old, was picked up in the street here unconscious late yesterday during an electrical storm and was thought to have either been struck by lightning or run over by an automobile. He recovered consciousness today and was placed under arrest. He is wanted at Dixon, Ky„ where he re cently broke out of jail with sever al other prisoners. It is charged that he stole a horse, killed it. skinned the animal and sold its hide. Freeman was able to leave the hospital today and is now in the county jail awaiting an official from the Kentucky town. 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. Mitchell, Ga. Mrs. Lizzie O. Thomas, Tuscumbia, Ala. Enclosed please find $1 for the Armenian children.

The automobile riding- and other things are taking so many of our young people past redemption. If there isn’t something done to check it we will soon have a reckless gen eration of people. Mrs. Thomas, I have been reading your good letters a good while. I hope you will live a long time yet to do good. Yours respectively. MISS YANCEY POOLE. 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.

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 pletely revolutionibed as the re sult of these experiments in dietet ics.

Cedaiio, Ma. poor sufferer of Ecaaauf SATURDAY, JULY 24, l«20 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.
