AN UNUSUAL OFFER
To SUBSCRIBERS.
Every Farmer and Citizen Should
Have His Name and POSt-OfiICe
Printed on His Envelopes.

Every farmer or citizen for that
matter, should have his name and
post. offic printed on his envelopes
and the paper he or his family use
in their correspondence, thus avoid
ing any mistake in a reply. On all
rural routes nearly everywhere this
custom is being practiced and ap-
proved Of. when too, it is found to
be so much cheaper than buying
plain paper and envelopes by the
small quantity
Here is our proposition:
To every one subscribing or re-
newing their subscription to the
R ECORD-PRESS, we will give Zoe
envelopes and $50 sheets of nice note
paper, with your name and address
and whatever you want to say on
both for the total sum Of $3.50.
The envelopes and paper alone
would cost 100 anywhere without
the printing and by taking advantage
Of this offer you get the RECORD
PRESS one year to any address,
together with 100 nice envelopes and
$50 sheets of paper for $3.50.
We promise as much care in pleas
ing you as If yon werere paying frll
price. In other words we will guar
antee to please you.
We are making this low offer that
we may hold every subscriber
and secure as many new ones as pos
sible. We are anxious to increase
our circulation from its already pres
ent high mark, and feel that this is
the best way to do it.
Now of course you can not get
your work the day you subscribe and
order it. But your name will be en-
tered with copy of what you want
and in a few days at the outside limit
your work will be done and done to
please you. There is scarcely fam
lily IN Crittenden county that will not
spend twice this amount in the run
of year for paper and envelopes

Should there be those who want
ONLY the 100 envelopes with the

be 1925.

lYE STEWED PEACHES
THAT'S WHAT We EAT
Another Pure Food Discussion
As to How Peaches Are Put
Up For the Public

The pure food agitation which has
been principally over the question of
benzoate Of soda has now taken a
new turn and renewed interest will
doubtless be aroused over this ques-
ton.
Ii is said that in most of the can
neries of the country peaches are
stewed in red-hot caustic soda to eat
away the skins and thereby save the
cost Of knife-peeling, the difference
IN cost amounting to a cent and
half or two cents per can.
In the process of this lye stewing
almost all flavor of the peach disap-
pears and doubtless little caustic
soda Is left on each piece of fruit as
memento of its trip through the
cannery.
Caustic soda strong enough to eat
away the skin Of an unripe peach
must be anything but soothing to
the inner man or child. The full
significance of this is best understood
in connection with the fact that
caustic soda is used in making many
kinds of soap; in fact. it is the dirt
eating part of soap.
1t is said that the great majority
of the capneries use the lye process
in place of the knife peeling method.
Attempts have been made for some
time to get the Department of Ag-
riculture to make ruling on this
question which would compel the
Gamers who use this method to say
so on the labels of their goods. 1t
looks now as if the question will be
passed up to Congress for specific
law covering this phase of the pure
food agitation.
The use Of caustic soda is impos.
sible with ripe fruit because it dis
colors a ripe peach so that it will not
pass muster with the users Of high
grade canned fruits. In consequence
this process is possible only with
unripe fruit, aud green fruit is pur
posely gathered for canning.
Owing to the absence of any
marks on the cans to indicate the
use of caustic soda, the only way the
customer can tell if he has purchased
a lye process can of fruit Is by taste.
Open can of peaches, wash away
the syrup from piece of the fruit.
Then taste it. If it is void of
flavor, woody and PUPPY, and has
soapy appearance, it is undoubtedly
the lye-peecd variety.

- The
Scrap Book
An Innocent at Large.

A Philadelphia young man whose
pocketbook is of bulging size visited
the exposition In Seattle in 1909. He
had good education and was out at
Seattle alone, away from the eyes of
his loving mother.
Concluding that he could not go
home without buying her a present
he went to store, selected the gift
and asked the price.
"Four bits" was the answer of the
storekeeper.
Wrap It for me, and I'll call for II
later" said the gentleman.
Going out of the store, he walked to
an old junk shop where for a small
sum he purchased four horses bits
and had them wrapped up.
Returning to the store, he deposited
the package upon the counter and
picked up the souvenirs with the re-

WHY HENS DON'T HATCH.

There is general complaint that ear
ly clucking hens were scarce. This
shows that lots of people didn't get
winter eggs, for hens seldom sit until
after they lay. But it's different now
from grandma's time. In those days
the whole shebang went broody in the
warm months.
The big barn was lined with them.
But the incubator gave the cluck a
black eye. People want eggs. not
clucks, and the broody quality is be
ing bred out Of them.
In grandpap's time hens would sit
on corncob, doorknob or a fence
post, but most hens now are hatcbed
by machinery and "just grow" and
don't know how to sit.
Just so with Pekin ducks hatched
In incubatOrs. They seldom hatch, and
even love for swimming has been bred
out of them.
Then there are the breeds that sell
dom brood-the Mediterranean class.
such as Leghorns and Mlnorcas.
These are the great layers. and.
thinking TO get more eggs, poultry rails
ers cross these nonsitters with others
and thus change the characteristics Of
the stock so they don't sit.
Millions Of live day old chicks are
now shipped all over the United States
TO people who don't care TO set clucks,
but want their chicks ready made.

A New Case Of EnaIish Humor.

Two southerners were entertaining
an Englishman when one of them told
the following story:
There was a poor white in our coun-
ty named Yarrow, whom every one
thought dishonest, but who had never
been caught stealing. At last he got
too bold, and through the testimony Of
Mr.. Brown he was sent to Jail. Soon
after Yarrow served his sentence Mr.
Brown was obliged to go to Baltimore
and have his eyes operated upon. A
much exaggerated account of the op-

told to Yarrow.

worthy, that when the doctor took out
that old Browns eyes he'd dropped

FEATHERS AND EcesHELLs.

A farm of 173 acres has been pur-
chased for a poultry plant near Espy,
Pa, by George B. Markle, the million
aire coal operator. Electric incubators
will turn out 10000 chickens a year.

When Paul Bergenstock, Pennsyl-
vania farmer, reached a limekiln
ten miles from home he was surprised
to find one of his hens roosting on the
pole under the sled box. She had
gone TO roost there the night before.
California sends 100000 in poultry
and eggs across the Canada line into
British Columbia annually. The Cana
dian poultry crop has decreased 26
per cent, and she has ceased to export.
Fine male birds often break down
or die in the breeding pens during the
Matching season, and it is a great
mystery to their owners. It's nearly
always case of starvation. The gal
liant fellows deny themselves of food
which the heavy laying hens quickly
gobble. Better feed that rooster by
himself once a day during the breed
ing season.
When a new incubator is heated up
a chunk Of solder will sometimes drop
down into the lamp burner and cause
big smoke, and on discovering the
melted solder the operator may con-
clude that the heater leaks, but not so.
Where a dog is kept and bone cutter
