J. A. WADE MAY RUN
TO SUCCEED KOLB
Tallapoosa Planter Considering An
nounceing Candidacy for Com
missioner of Agriculture

Alexander City, November 6.-(Spe-
cial. I'm view of the many inquiries
and requests from men of prominence
over the state that James A. Wade OF
Alexander City, and one of Tallapoosas
leading planters, be a candidate for
commissioner of agriculture, in an in
terview Mr.. Wade has the following to
say:
II had not the slightest notion OF
becoming a candidate for commissioner
of agriculture and industries or any
other office until the State Fair at
Birmingham. Quite a number of prom
inent citizens from various parts of the
state sought me there while attending
to my exhibits, and requested me to
enter the race.
''Since ] came home | have also re-
ceived many letters soliciting me, and
while at the East Alabama fair at
Alexander city the solicitations grew
more numerous. | have not yet CON
cluded just what / will do. have never
been deaf to the voice of public senti-
ment. If / can be convinced that the
people really think that 1 am the man
for the place then l would do my level
best to fulfill their good opinion
II could not and would not make the
race upon any other principles than
that which is right. The days of the
political demagog should be made a
matter of history in Alabama, and il
the people think I am the right man
In the right place they will only have
to convince me of their sincerity

MERE MAN DISCUSSES
CERTAIN TYPES OF LITERATURE
By DOLLY DALRYmPLE

lie has recently returned from a trip
abroad, a certain middle aged bachelor
and noticed when J. was talking to him.
when we brought up the subject of books
his eyes assumed a new expression.
He seemed to be thinking in a new chan
mel.
oh, no
It isn't the '.love light" in his eyes; he's
far too old and stern to do anything so
foolish and youthful as to fan in love.
Il read book he said the other even-
ing, when we were talking about every
thing from "a to ~ and back again "A
book that has simply bowled me over.
When / started away this summer a GER
tain very attractive woman know asked
me if [ didn't want something to read.
She remarked that she had a delightful
book that she could recommend on a sea
voyage"
Il found" he continued, "that after
had been out a couple of days that I was
becoming rather bored with the chatter
of the people aboard ship, and so 1 took
out the book and scanned it, thinking
of course it was some ephemeral love
story, like women usually read. But to
my great surprise l discovered it was
nothing of the sort
Ever read it?" he answered first, before
telling me the name, as man wosid do.

good that lessons the household bills was
never more timely than now. The recipe
is more valuable for the appended direc-

baking is often sorely puzzled as to the
order in which the stated ingredients,
should be put together. / wish helpers
who contribute recipes for bread and
cake making would recall their own en-
barrassment at the outset of their appren-
ticeship and be explicit in relating the
process by which raw materials are
blended into an orderly whole. We have
all heard of the perplexity of the king
as to how ''the apples got into the dump

Preserves of Apples and Tomatoes

"A recipe for apple-tomato preserves
Have half as many apples as you have
tomatoes. Put the tomatoes into the pre-
serving kettle with the apples which have
been run through the food chopper. Use
half as much sugar as fruit and cook
until thick. 1 prefer removing the seeds
from the tomatoes. This may be accom-
plished by cooking the tomatoes alone
awhile, then running them through a
colander. Few make grape butter as
easily as I do Cook grapes (not too ripe)
thoroughly. Turn them into a colander,
being careful to press the pulp. Keep this
Juice for jelly Now run the pulp through
the colander for the butter Sweeten and
cook about 10 minutes or so, according
to the quantity. Be sure to put no water
into the grapes. Let them cook in their
own juice. 1t takes much less time to
boil the Juice for jelly and the pulp for
butter. NJ"
Both the foregoing recipes are answers
to requests for the "eonserves" they rep
resent The thanks OF Corner and editor
go freely to the correspondent to whom
we are indebted for them. They are
noteworthy addition to our repertoire of
culinary treasures.
