TURN OFF WATER TO
AVOID FREEZING

In a conversation with Superinten-
dent Austin of the Pleasantville Wa
ter Company, he spoke of trouble that
might be occasioned by freezing in
case spigots exposed to the weather
are not turned off and urged the edi-
tor to call the attention of the people
to this matter and request them to do
so. Also if any one knows of an un-
occupied house where the water has
not been turned off, Mr.. Austin will
be very grateful to be advised of it.
These are very important matters to
which we hope our readers will give
immediate attention.

But to build such car to sell at moderate
price-that's another thing. 1t can be done
only by big, successful concern with plenty
of money, long years of experience in buying
materials and machinery, organized to avoid
all waste, so that every cent paid for production
would really go into the car; the manu-
facturer must make practically every part, and
make these parts better and for less than he
could buy them from Others. In short, such
manufacturer must be complete master of
every detail, including large capital. ANY other
would be sure to fail in such an undertaking.

bride, was her maid of honor, and looked
very attractive In a white lingerie frock
made over pink. Her flowers were Amer
ican Beauty roses. Little Miss Mary Beard
entered just in advance of Miss Scharber,
bearing the wedding ring in the heart of d
large white lily.
As the bride approached the altar with
her brother-in- law, Mr. Bailey who gave

Sl1ewes, who had entered from an oppo-
site door She was attired in smart

can afford to be without it,
Prof L. w. Summers of the department
of animal industry opened the discussions
of the afternoon with a lecture on the
good and bad points in judging hogs After
Mr.. Summers lecture Prof Jesse M. Jones
conducted a contest in scoring four Duroc
hogs. Many of the farmers took lively
interest in the contest. After the contest
there were sold at auction a large number
of Duroc boars and sows. These pigs
are sold to farmers from various parts of
the state who were interested in securing
a good breeding hog. This indicates that
the hog industry is growing in Ala
bama.
In the evening Mrs Henrietta Calvin of
Oregon talked to the teachers on the sub
ject of domestic science. Her talk was es-
pecially instructive as to the principles
of teaching cooking, sewing and home eco
nomics in rural schools. If Alabama had
one Mrs. Calvin to go over the state to
instruct all the teachers in the art of
teaching domestic science there might be
more health and happiness on the farm.
DR.. Tate Butler appeared as a second
lecturer of the evening and clearly told
the farmers and teachers of his audience
how arithmetic should be taught in the
rural schools. At the same time, to re-
tain an interest in farm life and keep the
boys and girls on the farm. He suggested
that there is a tendency at the present
time in the rural school to teach the boys
and girls away from the farm instead of
keeping their interest centered on the SUBJ
jects related to farm life.

How to Use Pepners

to can the ripe ones? have heard that
they may be canned. | shall tell how to
string beans so that they will keep fine:
Pick and clean the beans as for vege-
table. Pack clean glass jars full with
them Then put in enough salt as for sea-
soning and fill to the top with cold water.
Put on the rubbers and lids. Then set in
a boiler on a rack made of lathes or small
pieces of wood Pour in cold water to the
tops of the jars. After 1t comes to a boil
let it boil steadily for three hours Final
ly tighten the lids again. Place in a cool,
dark place. MRS. H. I. s."
The large green peppers are nice stuffed
with chopped meat or picked fish or rice
and fish, and baked with a good gravy
poured about them. They should be
scalded before they are stuffed. OF course,
the seeds are extracted, first of all. talk
ing care they do not touch the sides Of
the pepper. They are also good sliced and
fried after the seeding and sealding. Fry
in butter or with bacon. I have never
canned them. The member who wrote FOR
a recipe for canning beans will please
note a novel method of doing this But
is the prolonged boiling necessary or adj
visable? So long as the vegetable is thor
oughly cooked, does not further boiling IN
