That West virginians are hustlers
has never been doubted by any one
acquainted with West Virginia ways
of doing things. No matter where one
goes he hears from West Virginia and
West Virginia ways and of some un-
usual accomplishment of West Vir-
gilman. Some years ago Jarrett fam
lily, well known In this part of the
state, went west. Telling of an ac-
complishment of one of the members
of that family, the st. Louis Republic,
printing a picture of the subject of
the sketch, on the first page of the
main section, publishes the following:
ITO be the states champion in the
matter of canning fruits and berries is
no mean distinction. 1t Is just this
distinction, however, that Mrs. D. r.
Jarrett, of Muskogee, has justly won.
Eight hundred neatly labeled Jars Of
fruits, pickles, preserves and jellies,
ranged on Mrs. Jarrett's storeroom
shelves testify to this fact. A survey
Of the conservation storehopse shows
that Mrs. Jarrett has used not less
than q bushels Of peaches, a like num-
Der of apples and something like 30
crates of strawberries, dewberries,
| raspberries, grapes, with a bushel of
Damsons and few pineapples, for
| lagniappe; all, with the exception of
the pineapple, homegrown products"
