CANNING CLUBS IN
HENR|CO COUNTRY
In Spite of Blight and Numer-
Gus Setbacks, Girls Made
Fine Showing.
DETAILS OF GOOD WORK DONE
County Agent Tells the Simple
Story OF Club Work
in County.
DETAILS OF GOOD WORK DONE
Bi MISS SYLVIA SLoCUM.
County Agent.

The Girls Canning Club work was
organized in Henrico County in the fall
OF 1912. We are now entering our sec
ond years work. This has been
great help to many of our girls by
giving them the means of earning some
money for them sclvcs and keeping
them interested in the home and con-
tented to stay there.
about forty girls joined the different
clubs last spring, but some were unable
to continue the work during the sum-
mer. for various reasons. the chief
of which was the destroying of the
young plants while still in the hotbed.
The seed was sown, and, in many in
stances, the plants transplanted before
school closed. This meant the girl
had To do double duty during the spring
months. BY June most of the plants
were ready for hoeing and stalking
This perhaps was the hardest time OF
the season, and 1t is no wonder that
one girl when asked in school to give
some words relative to the Canning
Club work headed her list with work
Some girls went so far as to cut their
own stakes and put them In the ground,
but others were fortunate enough to
get help with this.
Some plants were killed by the blight,
but most OF the girls were able to
control this by spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture.
The Work Went On.
Living near Richmond some of the
girls found ready market for the
fresh vegetables. In August the can
ming season began in earnest. This
was the most interesting feature of the
work. Some girls quite by themselves
would can as many as ninety quarts
4 day.
a number of canning parties were
held at the various homes. To these
parties tho mothers and friends were
invited. Some OF them came to observe
the methods OF work, and many OF
them helped us as we went along. and
all had good time. Sometimes the
parties would last until dark; then the
girls would leave their cans at the
homo in which we were entertained
until the next time. for they found it
was not good policy TO pack up hot
cans and drive away with them. Each
girl was required to weigh her cans
and see that they came up to the re-
CURED standard, thirty-eight ounces for
No. can. She was then made to put
her name and address on each can.
These addresses were furnished on a
little rubber stamp. This was not
only conforming to the State laws con-
cerning can goods. and making ii pos
sible for the individual who gets a
particularly good pack to order di-
rectly from the girl if she wishes, but

or little off.

Ono OF our girls canned 1.400 quarts
OF vegetables and fruit during the sea-

RAILROAD SERVICE.

Reports of the curtailment of pass
enger train service are coming IN
from all over the country Probably
a good many trains are being taken
off that are needed to serve public
convenience. Nevertheless, it is
probably true that many railroads
have arranged their schedules in a
wasteful manner, spending large sums
OF money on showy trains that do the
ordinary traveller little good.
For instance. railroad would feel
that it was necessary for advertising
and competing purposes to maintain
its position as through route be-
tween certain distant points. It's
sleepers would run between the two
points. usually part of the way on
other lines.
The train on its own line on which
the public depended for everyday
short distance transportation, would
have to wait until these sleepers got
through. Consequently, these trains
would ne irregular The ordinary
traveller would not use them, but
would wait for some slower and less
ornate accommodation train. The
accommodation would be poky, but as
it made good on a certain time table,
il would be a time-saver to take it,
Under these conditions, the long
distance train must have been a
heavy loss. as it depended mostly on
through travel, which would often be
small. Such trains are a dead weight

US. CRUISER PREPARED
FOR ACTION At Beirut
Returning Officers of the North Caro-.
lima Tell of Readiness to

NEW YORK. December cS.--The RED
Star liner Finland returned today from
Mediterranean ports, brining with her
four naval officers from the United
States cruiser North Carolina. which
has been in eastern Mediterranean
waters since the outbreak of the war.
They were Lieutenant Commander Hem
ry c. Muslin, Lieuts. Richmond c.
Saufiey and Patrick N L. Bellinger and
Ensign Wadleigh Capehart
The Finland during her round trip
was three times stopped IN the Medi-
terranean by war vessels, once out

small portion Of her cargo. declared to
be contraband. was seized on the first
occasion. Ten stowaways were taken
off at Naples.
Panic at Beirut
Although the four officers were rcti-
cent about discussing conditions IN
Turkey. 1t was learned. before they
left the Finland. that for several days
after the declaration of war by Tur-
key, somewhat Of a panic existed
among the American missionaries eE
the Beirut district, and that as a mat
ter of precaution the officers of the
North Carolina had mapped out the
principal streets around the American
missions and conSulates, and were in
readiness, on signal. to land marines
should the occasion demand.
The situation in Turkey with respect
to the attitude toward foreigners when
they left, they said, was decidedly
peaceful The incident of the firing
upon the launch of the Tennessee by
the Turks was given more prominence,
they thought, than conditions justified
as the shot was merely warning to
the warship's boat crew not to run into
a mine field.
The officers are attached to the navy
aviation corps, and part of their time
abroad has been spent in observing the
aerial work of the French and British.
They declined to discuss the matter,
saying they had a report to make to
the naval authorities at Washington.
