The managers Of the best hotels and
restaurants in the neighborhood. the
stewards of social clubs in the cities,
the managers of railroad dining cars,
and many retail grocers will be glad to
use the products Of the giil who does
her canning at home. These pro-
ducts are likely to show individual care
and to be prepared neatly Of good ma
terials, and on the shelves of retail
store are likely to attract attention from
the best customers.
If a young woman knows by exper-
fence that her products are first class
she need not hesitate to put a good
price on them. Home-canned goods,
canned by experienced people, are
worth more than ordinary goods, and
one need not compete with the other.
Fancy goods" are rarely found upon
bargain counters. Even if the first
samples of home canning are not such
as may be readily sold they may be
used at home and from her experience
the farmers daughter may do better
the following season. When she
actually succeeds in getting something
better than the ordinary she should be
able TO sell it. She may we'll ask her
friends to recommend her to good
trade. The young woman sincerely
determined to make a success of can

perseverance and care in following in
structions should be sure OF some

HOW THE FARMERS DAUGHTER
CAN EARN MUCH PIN MONEY
Those Who Are Interested Should Write
U. S. Department of Agriculture
FOR Bulletin No. 521

A lady in Richmond, Va, has made
a national reputation cutting up and
selling "pin-money pickles. She
began few years ago in very modest
way, but now her products are so pop
ular that they can be found in nearly
every city in the United States. Another
woman in Washington, D. c., has
built up business making chowchow,
for which she gets So gallon.
These are only samples of what hun
dreds OF young women have done to
earn pin money by putting up canned
goods at home. People are continually
demanding a better quality of canned
goods and are willing to pay better
price for them. The farmers daughter
who desires to earn pin money may
avail herself OF this demand and with
care and perseverance learn to put up
canned goods that she may sell at a
profit. Those who are interested in
such project may obtain detailed in
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-09-18

structions on canning in farmers
Bulletin 521 of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, which will be
sent free Of charge to the applicant.
The bulletin, while encouraging the
young woman in her efforts to make a
business proposition of putting up fruits
and vegetables, cautions against over
enthusiasm. It advises that the be-
ginner experiment with few cans be-
fore going too heavily into the project.
If the first cans keep we'll, she may be
encouraged to proceed. II she meets
with few failures, perhaps she has
overlooked some important detail out
lined in the departments bulletin. 1t
is only thru failures that she gets good
experience, and with little patience
and care in following the directions
any farmers daughter should be able
to put up a satisfactory can of fruit or
vegetables.
When young woman has succeeded
in putting up product satisfactory for
home use, she may well look around
for market outside the home. The
girl who starts out with confidence in
herself will be more likely to find a
good market than one who is diffident.
The girl with experience in canning
knows the products with which she has
the most success, and should endeavor
to sell only those in which she excels.
1t is always best to specialize and work
up reputation for some particular
kind of goods, as did the woman al
ready mentioned. One girl may make
feature Of catchup, another MAJ find
her best product is pickles, while an
other may put up specially attractive
can Of peppers, caulihower, peaches,
apples or tomatoes.
People Of means are most likely to
want home canned" products, and
these are the ones to see. Many
housewives living in the cities who
leave home for the country during the
summer season will gladly give the
farmers daughter an order to can
enough tomatoes to last them all win
ter. 1t is best to take orders ahead as
far as possible.
The young woman who starts out to
sell her products put up in an attrac-
tive form. Glass jars will show pro
ducts much better than tins, but i

Case Against LeayenwOrth Woman Dis
missed

Marie Bryant, well known in this
city, who was convicted in the We
natchee police court recently on a
charge of improper conduct and fined,
was dismissed by Judge Pendergast in
superior court Tuesday. Attorneys
Reeves, Crollard & Crollard convinced
the judge that the complaint on which
the woman was prosecuted was de-
fective. Argument in the case was
somewhat lengthy. City Attorney
Fred Kemp has filed notice of appeal
to the supreme court.
The defendant did not even appear
in court, and her attorneys held it I'M
necessary for her to be there, because,
in reality, they argued, no valid COM
plant stands against her.

GIRL TYPICAL OF AMERICA
Meredith Nicholson Depicts What He
Considers the "Finest Product
Of Civilization"

Meredith Nicholson, the novelist,
who was appointed minister to Por-
tugal by President Wilson and de-
clined the post, is one of those Amer
lean authors who have given up writ
ing about wholly imaginary girls
and taken to portraying the Ameri-
can girl as she is today.
'1f | were an artist" said Mr..
Nicholson, "and wanted to paint a
typical American girl-not mere
pretty magazine decoration -
should attempt to depict girl who
looked at the world fearlessly, but a
little quizzically, the least bit won
deringly. She might be shop girl,
who only got her nose sunburned in
her weeks summer vacation, or a
girl with million dollars, who had
played tennis all summer on the
Maine coast, but that same look
would be in her eyes. She is a girl
of the present and the woman of the
future. And, girl or woman. she is
the finest product of civilization any
where in the world"

TRAGEDY OF
THE MOUNTAINS
James |. Hatmaker Found Dead
In an Illicit Still-Boy Con-
fesses to Killing Him.

La Toilette, Tenn, Dec. ga
tragedy enacted at a moonshine
still in the Cumberland mountains
near La Toilette on Tuesday came
to light yesterday with the finding
of the BODY of James |. Hatmaker.
said to be operator of the still.
Hatmaker's head had been split
with an axe.
The body was found Wednes-
day morning where it had fallen,
but this being in a secluded spot,
being at the still, it was not dis
covered until Hatmaker had been
dead twenty-four hours.
The coroner summoned a Jury
and was about to begin the in
quest when James Brandeburg, a
boy of about eighteen years, en-
ployed at the still with Hatmaker,
confessed that he had done the
killing. He claimed that they
quarreled over a board bill which
Hatmaker owed to Brandenburg's
mother, and that Hatmaker was
advancing on him with a knife,
when he, Brandenburg, seized an
axe and drove it into Hatmaker's
skull. He, according to his story,
ran away, and told nobody of the
affair until after the body had
been found.
On the other hand, friends of
Hatmaker claim that he had about
$lOO on his person the day before
the killing, and suspect that this
may have had something to do
with the crime, as they say this
money has not been found. Bran
denburg is in Jail.
Hatmaker was about fifty-years
of age, and leaves a family. At
one time he was quite prominent
in Campbell county politics.

AND HE "PLEASED HISSELF"
Good and Logical Reason Why Gar
dener Kept Position That His
Predecessors Couldn't.

A certain head gardener, whose
work is admired by thousands of vis-
itors every summer, is as outspoken
as he is capable. Not long ago he
was summoned before the directors
of the establishment where he is en-
gagged to explain why he had made
certain alterations without consult
ing the board.
"Well, gentlemen" he remarked,
"the alteration is success, and that
satisfies me-"
''But that isn't the point" said
the chairman. "Why didn't you con-
suit me in the matter?"
Because, sir, Pm satisfied with
my place at present, and intend to
keep it."
81 don't think you're going the
right way about it" said the chair
man.
We'll, | do, and that's where we
differ" said the gardener, boldly.
Before l came you'd four garden
ers in twelve months. Why? Be-
cause the first tried to please the
chairman, and failed. The second
tried to please the manager, and
didn't stop month. The third tried
to please the secretary, and the direc-
tors sacked him. The fourth tried
to please the whole board, and SO
ran foul of the manager and secre-
tary. The fifth, that's me, pleases
hisself, and keeps his job"
And the gardener is still pleasing
hisself" at the same place.

Being editor of a law enforce

Being editor of a law enforce
ment paper in Knoxville does not
have as many charms as one
would think. For instance. Allan
Watson, who is editing the Knox
vile Citizen which is published in
the plant Of THE NEWPORT
PLAIN TALK, last week dug out
of the mantle piece of his front
room a bullet which had been
fired into his home a few minutes
before. At the time Mr.. Watson
had just returned home to play
Santa Claus. The bullet came
from 38 calibre gun, and passed
through the window sill before it
lodged in the mantle piece.
Friends of Mr.. Watson are of the
opinion that the shot was fired
with an idea Of soaring him, but he
has already shown that he is not
the kind that scares.

Charges that the church Is drift

and catering to the rich and a warn
Ing that future success depends on a
revival of interest in the working
man and his family gave interest to
the meeting of the Home Missionary
society held in connection with the

"The church must get back to the
needs of the plain people or quit"
declared Dr.. Washington GLADDEN. of
Columbus, Ohio, former moderator.
DR.. GLADDEN. some years ago came
into prominence when he challenged
the propriety Of acceptance by the
American Board Of Foreign Missions
of gift of 100000 from John D.

arose over this challenge brought into
popularity the phrase tainted

NEW YORK.-"Bill the Beak," the
IN giant macaw In the Central park
bird zoo, expelled a terrific shrek.
A woman had hold of Bills tail. The
woman tugged and pulled at the long
feather which makes Bill the envy
OF all the other male birds In the zoo
And the more the woman pulled on
Bills tail the more the big bird
shrieked his mingled rage and pain.
Finally Bill got the womans offend
ing fingers between his beak and nip
ped her savagely.
The head birdkeeper and proven
der provider fortunately ran up at that
moment. He found a woman who
said that she was Matilda Garrison,
