soaking increases their bulk about one
third and incidentally destroys their
rich. delicious flavor.
Each man pays - year for the use
of this particular well because the water
increases the bulk of the clans more
than that OF any other.
And so you who go claiming in the
market place know not the delectable
flavor native TO the succulent clam.
But most OF us who have spent vaca-
tons by the sea have taken the old
clan basket and the rusty hoe with its
short handle, worn smooth by sand
bllstered hands, and have knocked on
the stones along the beach or far out
on the flats have laboriously dug the
squirting. succulent clam-and had a
backache for every clam.
But-those clans! When fresh from
their sandy bed and washed in the in
coming tide their shells are as smooth
and soft to the touch as velvet when
the water Of the sea Is on them.
Now build a fire of driftwood on a
round bed of cobbles set in the dry
beach sand and when the stones are
redhot throw over them some dripping
rock weed from the sea and with your
hands quickly make a nest In the
steaming weed. pour in your clans and
cover them deeply with more OF the wet
sea grass.
Then loaf around while.
After time poke away the faded,
steaming grass from the wide open
shells and jerk one out with your thumb
and finger. If you can hold It strip off
the skin and with your face upturned
to heaven drop the steamlng, succulent
thing into your wide open mouth with
your smoky fingers and you will have a
memory eyermore.
Or when In the cottage you have
hacked them alive from their shells
| and pulled the black skin from the head
| and rim and given them swash or
| two in their own liquor that has dripped
| in the bowl fry them brown In plenty

clam In another state of It's perfection
Or when they are cleaned replace

salt pork or bacon. a dash of salt and
pepper and I'LL the shell with the liquor
OF the clam. Cover carefully with the
other half shell and bake about ten
minutes in hot oven, serve at once

Mr.. Jones is an efficient man and

campaign for nomination in the DEM

1t IS generally understood by all who
know him that he is not sn aspirant
for office and will in no wise enter the
coming campaign unless fully endorsed
The high moral tone OF the Banner
under his mana ement has not only
brought him face to face for many
years with the legal fraternity. mer-
chants and farmers Of Washington
county, but has linked his name with
the most influential business men Of
ChipIey.
1t Is to be hoped that Mr.. Jones will
decide to make the race before the
