Industrial Co operation

The chain of industry is no
stronger than it's weakest link
and to with stand the severe
trials that bold civilization places
upon it, there must be strength
ening of the weak links. There
is no influence more corroding
than Indifference, no test so try
ing as uncertainty and nothing
so destructive as ignorance.
The organization of the Farm
Life Commission, having for its
purpose the study of production
and marketing Of crops and sug-
costing intelligent methods Of
cooperation between industries,
is a forward step in organized
progress ane one that will elimi-
nate haphazard methods of
planting and marketing as we'll
as result in better understand
ing between different lines of
business. Texas needs indust-
rial cooperation.

Trustees

Trustees have been elected or
appointed to eject teachers, APP
prove vouchers and work in all
ways for the best interests of
the school, but trustees should
not be expected to devote their
time to school work, at a great
loss to themselves, when it is
plain to every patron that the
trustees are doing the patrons
work. Patrons, other than trus-
tees should furnish the wood,
where there is no money to de-
fray expenses. They should
also see that the house of their
children is made comforta BILE.
Nothing is so uncertain as Texas
weather, so wood should be cut
the right length for the stove
and enough supplied for the en-
tire winter. Pupils and teachers
are at your mercy. Don't let
them suffer.

To The jefferson Voters.

The women of Jefferson have
formed themselves into a league
to work for civic attractiveness
in Jefferson, but how can we
women work, when everything
we do is eaten up or defaced by
cattle?
You men pride yourselves
upon furnishing comfor table
homes for your families and of
identifying them inside as far as
you are able. Did it ever occur
to you that the outside setting
of your home added as much to
their Leauty as the inside deco
ration? The finest palace or
the most beautiful home in the
world with rough, unkept
grounds, is unattractive, while
the humblest cottage covered
with roses, with flowers bloom
ing in the yard, and well kept
lawn has the real home look that
always attracts?
Did you ever think how many
more people see the outside of
your home than the inside? Your
closed doors belong to your fami,
~ and your friends, while the
outside belongs TO the world
the scanning, critical public.
You all like pretty homes.
Why not make pretty settings
for them. Beautiful grounds
with comfortable house, form
the ideal home. Then, the I'M
slightly, ragged fences. Do you
still want Ia cling to them for
the sake of few cows, owned
principally by a few people who
are plenty able To take care of
them. Do you realize how few
cows are owned in this town by
the really poor peopley
There can be no civic attract
iveness for JefersoL with the
cattle running at large. Will
you men help To make our homes
and town thing of beauty
something To be Justly proud of

Jefferson Wants a Cannery

No one enterprise would be OF
greater importance to Jefferson
than cannery, for with such a
plant here it would encourage
the farmer to raise more fruit
and garden truck knowing that
he would always find ready
market for same while today
enough such product goes waste
to operate a first class cannery.
There isn't any part of the
state more adapted for truck
growing than Marion County,
tomatoes, onions, beans, peas,
corn, cabbage, turnips, beats,
pumpkins, in fact almost every
kind and variety of vegetable
can be successfully and profit
ably grown here; watermelons
which are wasted and fed to hogs
for want of market, could be
utilized at a cannery in making
the finest of watermelon rind
preserves; may haws which
grow wild and can be purchased
for 15c a gallon makes what is
conceded by every one to be
the finest and most delicious
of jelly and would find ready
sale for all that could be made,
wild blackberries, dewberries,
and huckelberries can be had
here in great quantities, and the
product from the berries can't
be excelled anywhere; scupper-
nongS that are now sold for a
song would find a ready sale
and pat money in the pockets of
the growers who now doesn't
realize enough to pay for the
raising of same. The celebra-
ted liberia peach which has
been sold on the streets for soc a
bushel, every bushel that could
be raised would be used at a
cannery.
If there is one thing which
Jefferson needs more than any
thing else it is cannery to use
the fruit and vegetables that
our farmers raise and which for
want of a ready market for
same goes to waste. Our mer-
chants buy tomatoes, peaches
etc in large quantities which are
shipped in here and this money
should be kept right in Jeffer-
son, and with a cannery the far
mer would sell his fruit and veg
etables to the cannery, the can
merry would sell his canned
goods to the Jefferson merchants
and the Jefferson merchants
would sell the canned goods
packed by the Jefferson cannery
to the citizens of Jefferson and
Marion county thereby keeping
the money right here at home
where it would be spent and Cir
culated instead of seuding il
away where it never benefits
any citizen of Jefferson or Ma
rion county.
Now is the time to agitate the
cannery question so as to get
one and have it in operation sc
as to handle next seasons crop
Does any citizen of Jefferson OF
Marion county know of any one
that The Jefferson Progressive
Club would be likely TO interest
in canneryy If SO kindly let
me know.

GOOD RECIPE FOR

lasses-the thicker and darker the better

After il reaches this stage let it boil

state of the sirup from time TO time by
dropping a little of il into cup of cold
water When IL comes to the point where
It hardens under this treatment, add a
tablespoonful of butter, teaspoonful Of
baking soda dissolved in little boiling
water, and take the kettle from the fire.
Here is where the pull begins. But
tered platters should be ready, and into
these the boiling sirup is poured. As
soon as IL Is cool enough to be handled
by buttered fingers a portion should be
taken by each gorker-not more than a
good tablespoonful to begin with-and the
pulling started Ii must be done quickly
and dexterously, with the tips Of the
fingers. ana continued until the candy Is
white and brittle. Two can pull ? larger
piece until II is white and gilstenfng. and
